Statins differ in their solubility. Some previous studies suggested a difference in clinical efficacy and adverse events between hydrophilic and lipophilic statins. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of hydrophilic and lipophilic statins in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Introduction Asthma is a common chronic airway disorder, particularly among children in Saudi Arabia, with an increasing global prevalence. Limited epidemiological studies in the region indicate variable asthma rates, potentially influenced by factors such as modernization and environmental changes. Given the potential health benefits of breastfeeding, it is critical to investigate the relationship between type of feeding, and asthma risk.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that is significantly increasing, resulting in severe distress. The approved treatment for ASD only partially improves the sympoms, but it does not entirely reverse the symptoms. Developing novel disease-modifying drugs is essential for the continuous improvement of ASD.

Mandibulectomy with free fibular flap reconstruction is a well-established procedure in head and neck surgery, recognized for its functional and aesthetic outcomes. However, this procedure carries certain risks, including the rare occurrence of late-onset donor site morbidities such as compartment syndrome. We report the case of a 67-year-old male with multiple comorbidities who developed compartment syndrome due to delayed hematoma formation at the donor site after undergoing segmental mandibulectomy with left fibular osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction.

Background Family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) has been a long-debated topic in medical circles in the last 40 years. Studies usually concentrate on the opinions and responses of the family members of the patients being resuscitated. Only a handful of studies have focussed on the medical practitioner's opinions and beliefs on the topic.

Coronary arteries normally originate from two separate cusps from the aorta, and various anomalies can occur. One such anomaly is the single coronary artery (SCA), where the coronary arteries originate from a single ostium due to the absence of the contralateral ostia. In a rare case we encountered while evaluating a patient with atypical chest pain, computed tomography angiography revealed that the right ostia was absent, and the right coronary artery originated from the left circumflex artery.

In staging for testicular germ cell tumor (GCT), current guidelines lack consensus regarding the measurement of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, concerning the recommended plane and dimension. This exploratory study aimed to assess its impact on clinical stage (cS) and therapy. We retrospectively examined 154 cSI (retroperitoneal lymph nodes < 10 mm in axial short-axis diameter (SAD)) GCT patients, without adjuvant therapy and a follow-up ≥ 24 months.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a worldwide public health challenge. Accumulating evidence implicates elevated serum ferritin and disruptions in iron metabolism as potential elements linked to an increased risk of MetS. This study investigates the relationship between iron homeostasis-including hepcidin levels, serum iron concentration, unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), and the hepcidin/ferritin (H/F) ratio-and MetS.

This systematic review evaluates the efficacy and safety of semaglutide in individuals with obesity or overweight without diabetes. Obesity is a significant public health concern, associated with various comorbidities and reduced quality of life. Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has emerged as a promising pharmacological intervention for weight management.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) occurs due to the inflammation of sinonasal tissue. Cases of CRSwNP more commonly demand revision endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) as compared to patients without polyposis. The recurrence rate varies widely depending on various factors, such as the extent of surgery, patient compliance with postoperative care, and the severity of the underlying disease.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common critical type of hepatic cancer worldwide. Recent guidelines have considered ablative therapeutic approaches as the primary option for managing early-stage surgically untreatable HCC. Among these therapies, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) have attained a significant role due to their efficacy and theoretical advantages.

Introduction: This study aims to develop co-amorphous Solid Dispersion (SD) system containing antimalarials Artesunate (ARS) and Amodiaquine (AMQ) to improve its oral bioavailability employing the Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) technique. Soluplus was selected as a polymeric excipient, whereas Lutrol F127, Lutrol F68, TPGS, and PEG400 as surfactants were incorporated along with Soluplus to enhance extrudability, improve hydrophilicity, and improve the blend viscosity during HME. Soluplus with surfactant combination successfully stabilizes both drugs during extrusion by generating SD because of its lower glass transition temperature (Tg) and viscoelastic behavior.

Background: Though virtual care was widely adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic, evidence to support its use in kidney transplant recipients early after transplantation is limited.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing post kidney transplant outcomes in patients who received in-person transplant care before the COVID-19 pandemic with those who received mainly virtual transplant care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The usual-care group included 69 patients who received a kidney transplant from March 1, 2019 to September 1, 2019, and the virtual-care group included 64 patients who received a kidney transplant from September 1, 2020 to March 1, 2021.

Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs), while uncommon, can have a significant impact on appearance and quality of life, especially when they form in prominent areas such as the nose dorsum. We discuss a case of a 29-year-old woman who developed a benign PNST on the right side of her nasal ala. This tumor gradually grew, impairing her face appearance.
