Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of work-related burnout among neurosurgeons at multiple neurosurgical centers in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken involving neurosurgeons in Saudi Arabia. From June 2023, to September 2023, a self-administered questionnaire was utilized to gather data from the neurosurgeons in Riyadh hospitals. This data pertained to their quality of life, exhaustion, frustration, and patient-doctor relationships.
Results: Out of 120 potential participants, 95 completed responses were collected, yielding a response rate of 79.2%. A significant positive correlation was revealed by correlation analyses between on-call hours and weekly working hours on one side, and burnout and poor quality of life on the other. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) revealed four components with eigenvalues greater than 1, accounting for 32.6%, 16.9%, 11.1%, and 7.8% of the total variance. The overall Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure was 0.77, falling into the 'middling' category, with individual KMO measures ranging between 0.6 and 0.9.
Conclusion: The study revealed a job-related impairment of the work tolerance among neurosurgeons in Riyadh, which may be due to the limited number of neurosurgeons. Further measures are required to enhance the quality of life for neurosurgeons and, ultimately, patient care.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and diminishes quality of life. Backward walking exercise (BWE) has been shown to improve lower muscle strength and reduce knee adduction moment, making it a recommended intervention for knee OA rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BWE combined with conventional rehabilitation programs on pain intensity and disability among individuals with knee OA.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising therapeutic approach in gynecologic cancers, particularly ovarian and cervical malignancies. Agents such as mirvetuximab soravtansine, and tisotumab vedotin, targeting folate receptor alpha and tissue factor, respectively, reported clinical efficacy in patients with limited options. However, their use is associated with ocular toxicities, including keratopathy, blurred vision, and dry eye, which may impact adherence and quality of life.

Objective: Two vaccines against herpes zoster (HZ) are currently authorized for use in China: the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) and live-attenuated Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL). The significant disparities in prices and efficacy between the two vaccines necessitate an evaluation of their relative value in order to make an informed choice. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative cost effectiveness of RZV, ZVL, and no vaccination for older adults at different ages from the societal perspective.
