KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND PRACTICE TOWARD PROSTATE CANCER AND ITS SCREENING METHODS IN QASSIM REGION.

Objective: Prostate cancer is a significant health concern globally, and in Saudi Arabia, it is the sixth most prevalent type of cancer among adult males over the age of 75. However, awareness and attitudes towards prostate cancer screening vary widely. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding prostate cancer and its screening methods in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia.

Clinical and molecular characterization of hepatic glycogen storage disease in Saudi Arabia.

Background And Objectives: The paucity of data on glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) from Arabs prompted us to report on hepatic GSD to characterize its clinical and molecular features and outcomes among Saudi children and to evaluate genotype‒phenotype correlations.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 65 children (37 females) with genetically confirmed hepatic GSD who presented between 2008 and 2020 and were followed up for a median duration of 9 years (range: 0.4-21 years).

Effect on hygroscopic characteristics of n-ZnO additions to resin composite.

This study investigates the effect of adding different amounts of n-ZnO to model resin-based composites on their hygroscopic characteristics. Six groups (n = 5) were formulated using Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA, inert barium glass powder, silica nanoparticles, and varying amounts of n-ZnO (0-5 wt.%).

Chiropractic students' characteristics influencing confidence and competence in modulating spinal manipulation force-time characteristics of specific target forces: a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study.

Background: Although distinct, confidence and competence play a valuable role in healthcare education. For chiropractic students, both may be important in mastering motor skills required to perform spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). However, little is known about how individual factors influence students' confidence and competence.

Radiologic evaluation of a giant aneurysmal left circumflex coronary artery presenting with palpitation: A Cas of successful diagnosis.

Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare cardiovascular abnormalities often associated with conditions like atherosclerosis, connective tissue disorders, or vasculitis. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman presenting with palpitations and dysphagia, ultimately diagnosed with a giant aneurysmal left circumflex coronary artery using a multimodal imaging approach. Initial echocardiography identified a cystic lesion within the left atrium, prompting further evaluation with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), computed tomography (CT), and coronary catheterization.
