This study aims to estimate the knowledge and awareness of physicians about hazards radiological examinations on their health patients. 466 questionnaires administered through a Google spreadsheet were answered by from 20 cities Saudi Arabia. The sample included 167 radiologists, 106 neonatologists, 19 oncologists, 45 surgeons 18 orthopaedists, 11 paediatricians 100 different specialities. Only 133 had received radiation protection course in workplace. A total 73% participants revealed many...
Ghrelin is a peptide hormone with direct or indirect effects on obesity and asthma. More data are required to understand the effect of ghrelin control pathogenesis these diseases. The aim this study was evaluate levels in selected groups children identify association between serum ghrelin, obesity, severity included 401 school from Najran area grouped into non-obese asthmatics, obese non-asthmatics controls (non-obese non-asthmatics). Blood interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 IL-21 were determined by...
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of group A rotavirus (RVA) gastroenteritis and distribution RVA genotypes as well determine a possible change in age occurrence infection first 2 years after Rotarix® vaccine introduction Saudi Arabia. descriptive included 850 hospitalized children <5 with acute (AG) between October 2013 September 2015. Overall, 78 (9.2%) were positive for during period positivity rate ranging from 11.3% year 6.8% second year. G1 (47.4%) was predominant G type,...
Adiposity is associated with high serum levels of adipokines and chemokines which are possibly implicated in a co-existence obesity asthma.Elucidate the possible roles leptin, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 IL-21 linking childhood asthma.Cross-sectional, analytical.Population schoolchildren small Saudi city.The study included representative sample grouped as obese asthmatics, non-obese or nonasthmatics, nonobese nonasthmatics control group. An asthma test was done for asthmatic groups.Serum IL-4,...
To manage the COVID-19 outbreak, WHO recommends adult and child vaccination. Vaccine skepticism has been a major worldwide health concern for decades, situation is worsening. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate parental willingness vaccinate their children (aged 5 11 years) against describe its relationship with attitude, barriers, facilitators, sources knowledge regarding vaccine. Methods: From February March 2022, community-based cross-sectional survey undertaken among...
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a teratogenic flavivirus that can cause microcephaly. Its main vector, Aedes aegypti, has been previ.ously identified in Saudi Arabia, but no ZIKV infection yet reported. Nevertheless, the country at risk from because it receives many travelers throughout year, including pilgrims ZIKV-endemic countries.Screen asymptomatic pregnant mothers and their newborns attending major hospital Najran region for subclinical or past infections with ZIKV, using ELISA...
Background Pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged and spread globally in the spring of 2009. We describe clinical features patients who were hospitalized with 2009 H1N1 July to June 2010 a tertiary care hospital Khamis Mushyt, Saudi Arabia. analyzed laboratory variables order determine predictors poor outcome Methods performed prospective study all for at least 48 hours positive test through RT-PCR(real time polymerase chain reaction). Their epidemiological, clinical, biochemical...
This study was designed to investigate the effect of prenatal exposure synthetic sex steroid on sperm quantity and quality, relative testicular epididymal weights, reproductive hormones level in adult Wistar rats. Forty male rats were divided into two groups: a test group (n = 20) that included mature born dams exposed gestational treatment with hydroxyprogesterone control untreated dams. Compared group, showed significant reduction count, viability motility, weights together increased...
The purpose of this study was to explore the potential contracting effect leptin on isolated guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle (TSM), possible mechanism, and impact epithelium denudation or allergen sensitization, respectively. An in vitro experiment investigated at a concentration 250–1000 nmol/L TSM with an intact denuded epithelium. Ovalbumin IgE were used test active passive sensitization. strips incubated Krebs solution aerated carbogen (95% O 2 5% CO ) via automated tissue organ bath...
