Mechanical Hatching as a Therapeutic Intervention for Improving Implantation Rate in a 32-Year-Old Female With Recurrent Implantation Failures: A Case Report.

This case report explores the application of mechanical hatching as a successful intervention in the treatment of primary infertility for a couple with a consanguineous marriage history and recurrent implantation failure. A 32-year-old female patient and her 37-year-old spouse, after six years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive, underwent multiple intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) cycles without success. Normal parameters were observed in semen analysis and hormone tests for the male and female partners, respectively.

Employment of Small-Group Discussions to Ensure the Effective Delivery of Medical Education.

The changing landscape of medical education has made small-group discussions crucial components. These sessions, including problem-based learning (PBL), case-based learning (CBL), and team-based learning (TBL), revolutionize learning by fostering active participation, critical thinking, and practical skills application. They bridge theory with practice, preparing future healthcare professionals for the dynamic challenges of modern healthcare.

Association Between Foramen Rotundum and Trigeminal Neuralgia in the Saudi Population: A Radiological Study.

The trigeminal nerve is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face, nasal and mouth cavities, and most of the scalp. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic facial pain disorder characterized by spontaneous paroxysmal pain throughout the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. This study investigated the morphological and morphometric variations of the foramen rotundum (FR) and its association with TN through a retrospective radiological analysis.

Morphometric Parameters of the Ear and Their Sexual Dimorphism in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

Background The human ear is a distinctive facial feature, revealing valuable information about ethnicity, gender, and age. Anthropometric measures play a crucial role in fields such as forensic medicine, prosthetics, and plastic surgery. The external ear, known for its diversity in structure and individual characteristics, has become a subject of interest in various populations.

Laser-Guided Sperm Selection: Optimizing the Reproductive Success Rate in Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) enable these patient's spermatozoa to fertilize the oocyte and create viable and healthy offspring, but the effectiveness of the various procedures still has room to increase. In the field of assisted reproductive technology, the need to improve fertility results has led to the development of novel sperm selection strategies. Laser-assisted selection of immotile sperm (LAISS) appears to be a promising strategy, harnessing the power of modern optical instruments to better the selection process and, ultimately, maximize the probability of successful fertilization.

Flipped Classrooms in Medical Education: Improving Learning Outcomes and Engaging Students in Critical Thinking Skills.

The flipped classroom (FC) model involves students independently acquiring knowledge before in-person class sessions, during which they engage in active discussions and problem-solving. Various methods to implement FC are quizzes, e-content, case-based learning, problem-based learning, and reading assignments. The advantages of the FC approach included improved student preparation, active participation, and the promotion of critical thinking skills.

The Potential of Theophylline and Pentoxifylline in Sperm Optimization and Its Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Outcomes.

Sperm motility is an essential selection criteria by embryologists at the time of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). One method of testing sperm viability is to induce sperm motility by increasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels by treating a semen sample with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEIs), such as theophylline and pentoxifylline. It explores the implications of PDEI in medical care, reflecting on its effects in clinical settings and recognizing potential topics for future exploration.

A Review of Amelioration of Awareness About Blood Donation Through Various Effective and Practical Strategies.

Blood donations play a crucial role in medical care; however, the global shortage of donors remains and has a serious impact on medical interventions. The challenges involved include the lack of public awareness of the importance of blood donation, the lack of understanding of the process and eligibility criteria for blood donation, and the lack of comprehensive strategies aimed at raising awareness and participation among potential donors, with particular emphasis on the involvement of young people. It is essential to recognize that blood donation delivers significant benefits to donors and recipients, improves overall health, and ultimately saves lives.

Managing Diabetes Mellitus With Millets: A New Solution.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and the disease's prevalence is increasing with each passing day.
