Objective: Nonadherence to diet and fluid restrictions in hemodialysis (HD) patients can lead to undesired health outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to estimate the pooled prevalence of nonadherence to diet and fluid restrictions in HD patients.
Methods: Research articles from PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar on nonadherence to diet and fluid restrictions in HD patients published between 2000 and 2020 were selected for this study. The methodological quality of each study was graded, and the estimates were pooled using the random-effects model of meta-analysis. Analyses of subgroups and meta-regression were carried out. Egger's test and visual analysis of the symmetry of funnel plots were used to assess the publication bias.
Results: Eight hundred sixty-eight potential records were identified during the search. Twenty-three studies that met inclusion criteria were considered for meta-analysis and comprised 11,209 HD patients (mean age 55.85 years ± SD 6.86, men 57.74%). The estimated worldwide prevalence of nonadherence to diet and fluid restrictions was 60.2% (95% CI: 47.3-72.5) and 60.6% (95% CI: 50-70.7), respectively. The meta-regression found that the income category was negatively associated and the risk of bias score was positively associated with the prevalence of nonadherence to fluid restrictions (P < .05). The funnel plot of nonadherence to fluid restrictions revealed asymmetry, and a significant publication bias was also noted as assessed by Egger's test (P = .004). However, the pooled estimate should be interpreted with caution because the prevalence of individual studies varies considerably because of methodological or measurement discrepancies.
Conclusion: The pooled prevalence of nonadherence to diet (47.3-72.5%) and fluid (50-70.7%) restrictions was substantially high. The health care team must recognize the factors and barriers influencing adherence behavior and develop holistic interventions to improve it.

Bioinspired supramolecular architectonics is attracting increasing interest due to their flexible organization and multifunctionality. However, state-of-the-art bioinspired architectonics generally take place in solvent-based circumstance, thus leading to achieving precise control over the self-assembly remains challenging. Moreover, the intrinsic difficulty of ordering the bio-organic self-assemblies into stable large-scale arrays in the liquid environment for engineering devices severely restricts their extensive applications.

Introduction: Neglected Uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is a rare but remains the most serious and fearsome complication in obstetrics, with high maternal and fetal risks, a neglected uterine rupture is rarer but more serious affecting the maternal prognosis with a high rate of hysterectomy.
Case Presentation: A 36-year-old patient, presented on postpartum day 4 a pelvic pain, physical examination finds patient in shock, Ultrasound showed an enlarged uterus with a discontinuity on the right lateral edge and abundant peritoneal fluid reaching Morison's pouch. The patient underwent a necessary total interadnexal hysterectomy due to the presence of a partial uterine necrosis.

Objective: Portosystemic shunts in growth-restricted fetuses are more common than previously thought. We aimed to describe fetuses with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios in which a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CIPSS) was noted during follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of all fetuses diagnosed with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios during a 5-year period in a large tertiary referral center.

Background: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies comprise a group of five neurometabolic disorders caused by five genetic defects responsible for BH4 biosynthesis and regeneration. Their global prevalence remains unknown, and variance exists among different countries.
Aims: To describe clinical, biochemical, molecular genetic data and follow-up of patients with BH4 deficiency seen in Tawam Hospital.

Background: Since the emergence of COVID-19 and the subsequent imposition of lockdown and movement restrictions, the world has witnessed fundamental lifestyle changes including alterations in dietary patterns and food consumption habits. Here, we investigated how the COVID-19 lockdown impacted dietary patterns and eating behaviors in the Saudi population.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study enrolled 427 participants aged 18 years or more, with 258 of them completing the survey.
