The Effect of Cognitive-Motor Dual Tasks on the Risk of Falls in Female Saudi Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Dual tasking (DT) requires individuals to carry out two actions simultaneously, comparable to how the brain can perform a cognitive function while the body is in motion, which eventually enhances human balance. This paper aims to examine and compare the impact of DT on the risk of falling (ROF) among Saudi female students.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was used.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Lecithin, Sterols, Vitamins and Lipid Oxidation of Olein and Super Olein Fractions of Fish Oil Produced by Winterization.

To concentrate omega-3 fatty acids (-3) in fish oil (FO), olein and super olein fraction (OF) of FO were produced by winterization. For this purpose, FO was slowly cooled to -50°C (24 h), the mixture of crystallized and non-crystallized phases was separated, filtrate was coded as OF (yield 32%), 35% of OF was kept for storage study and analytical purpose, remaining 65% was further slowly cooled down to -75°C (24 h) and filtered, filtrate was coded as super olein (SF, yield 23%). GC-MS analysis showed that unsaturated fatty acids increased due to successive winterization.

Exploring the Willingness and Understanding of Digital Rectal Examinations in Assessing Anorectal Conditions Among Saudi Patients in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia.

Background: A digital rectal examination (DRE) is a crucial diagnostic examination used to identify various medical conditions by inserting a finger into the patient's rectum to check for abnormalities. Although clinically significant, DRE can be challenging, especially for first-time patients. Reasons for refusal often include misunderstandings about the examination, fear of the way the test is done, and feelings of embarrassment.

Corrosion inhibition performance of benzimidazole derivatives for protection of carbon steel in hydrochloric acid solution.

Assessing Medical Students' Understanding of Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Orders.

Objective: The evolution of medical directives surrounding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has led to the prominence of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. These orders aim to respect patient autonomy and ensure dignified end-of-life care. While regulations in the United States emphasize patient choice and comprehensive discussions, Saudi Arabia's approach to DNR orders integrates Islamic principles alongside expert medical judgment.

Fabrication of silica/calcium alginate nanocomposite based on rice husk ash for efficient adsorption of phenol from water.

The current work discusses the synthesis of three different solid adsorbents: silica nanoparticles derived from rice husk (RS), calcium alginate beads (AG), and silica/alginate nanocomposite (RSG). The fabricated solid adsorbents were characterized by using different physicochemical techniques such as TGA, XRD, nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis, ATR-FTIR, pH, SEM, and TEM. The adsorption efficiencies of the prepared solid adsorbents were considered for the removal of phenol as a selected hazardous pollutant.
