Background: Neuropathy is the most common microvascular complications among diabetic patients. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the predominant variety which may associate with increased in mortality and morbidity among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Objective: To assess the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and its correlation with risk factors among T2DM.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional retrospective study, data was collected from a previous cohort study conducted at the University Diabetes Center, King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC), King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The data of T2DM patients were collected from case report form, included demographic data, history of chronic diabetes neuropathy, and laboratory reports. Statistical analysis includes Student`s test, chi square test, and Pearson correlation and logistic regression were performed.
Results: A total of 430 patients with T2DM data was collected and analyzed, and of them 54% were females, with the mean age of 55.88 years. The prevalence of diabetic neuropathy among study participants were 40.2%, and 73.3% of them having the subtype polyneuropathy. The mean BMI; = 0.006, FBS; < 0.001, HbA1c; < 0.001, cholesterol = 0.001, LDL; < 0.001, and triglyceride; < 0.001 levels were a significantly higher among participants with diabetic neuropathy than without neuropathy. The male gender (Risk Ratio: 1.294, 95% CI:1.090, 1.536) = 0.003, fasting blood glucose (Risk Ratio: 1.157, 95% CI:1.051, 1.273) = 0.003 Cholesterol (Risk Ratio: 1.588, 95% CI:1.174, 2.147) = 0.003, triglyceride (Risk Ratio: 1.290, 95% CI:1.086, 1.538), = 0.004, and LDL (Risk Ratio: 1.299, 95% CI:1.073, 1.574), = 0.007) were found to be significant risk factors for DPN.
Conclusion: DPN is highly prevalent among T2DM patients in Saudi Arabia. Poor glycemic control and hyperlipidemia were associated with significantly higher risk for DPN patients among T2DM.

: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental disorder that has been linked to hyperhomocysteinemia and folate deficiency. These conditions are influenced by the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase () gene, which plays a crucial role in converting homocysteine to methionine and is essential for folate metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin. : This study explored the association between and polymorphisms among Saudi MDD patients attending the Erada Complex for Mental Health and Erada Services outpatient clinic in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Considering that peripheral blood biomarkers are prognostic predictors for several human tumors, this study aimed to comparatively analyze the association of hematological alterations with the incidence of epithelial dysplasia (ED) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in male and female mice treated with 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4NQO) and ethanol (EtOH).
Methods: 120 C57Bl/6J mice (60 males and 60 females) were allocated to four groups (n = 15). They were treated firstly either with 5 mg/mL propylene glycol (PPG) or 100 μg/mL 4NQO in the drinking water for 10 weeks, followed by sterilized water (HO) or 8% EtOH (v/v) for 15 weeks, as follows: PPG/HO, PPG/EtOH, 4NQO/HO, and 4NQO/EtOH (CEUA-UFU, #020/21).

Purpose: To identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and develop a prognostic score in patients receiving docetaxel in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on mCRPC patients treated with docetaxel at a German tertiary center between March 2010 and November 2023. Prognostic clinical and laboratory factors were analyzed using uni- and multivariable logistic regression.

Purpose: Knowledge about fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) among recurrence-free long-term colorectal cancer survivors (CRCS) is limited. This national cross-sectional study aimed to (1) assess the prevalence and correlates of FCR among CRCS; (2) investigate associations between colorectal cancer-specific symptoms and FCR; and (3) identify predictors of interest in engaging in FCR treatment.
Methods: We identified 9638 living Danish CRCS, age above 18 years, diagnosed between 2014 and 2018 through the Danish Clinical Registries.
