Abstract Background Despite significant progress in eliminating malaria from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, disease is still endemic southwestern region country. Artesunate plus sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine (AS + SP) has been used Arabia since 2007 as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. This study aimed to investigate prevalence mutations associated with resistance artemisinin and (SP) P. parasites circulating Jazan region, Arabia. Methods A total 151 isolates...

Cost to mitigate HIV/AIDS outcomes and information on household socioeconomic impact in Malaysia are very limited, despite their importance guide key policy decisions. This study aimed identify the economic of chronic adult HIV morbidity, specifically estimate cost care from households’ perspective. Median out pocket health expenditure per patient year is RM1 080 representing 14.7% patient’s median income. (Note 1) Productivity loss due absenteeism stoppage works were RM 900 RM10 800...

The long border of Saudi Arabia with Yemen is the primary route for khat entry to Kingdom. As April 2015, government SA tightened border, making it more difficult import into country. a result, local user prices probably increased due in part higher supply costs and perhaps lower quantities. One anti-drug strategy increase consumption cost by increasing price supply. We aim this study measure responsiveness demand changes. This used cross-sectional survey design. Two stage sampling was...

Data collected retrospectively from 19 hospitals southern Arabia during period September December 2019. showed that, for time, incidence rate child incidents 7.4 per 100 2018. Falling, burning,...

Many studies have explored social media and users search activities such as Google Trends to predict detect influenza activities. Studies that examined correlation with the actual hospital cases were conducted in non-tropical regions clearly defined seasons. Tropical areas are known for having less-defined seasonality extent of concordance is unknown these areas. The goal this study compare tropical regions.We analyzed 48,263 time period 2010 2019. retrieved from central medical records...

Abstract A total of 227 Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Jazan region, southwestern Saudi Arabia were amplified for the P. multi-drug resistance 1 ( pfmdr1 ) gene to detect point mutations 11 years after introduction artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in Arabia. The 86 Y mutation was found 11.5% (26/227) while N86 wild allele detected 88.5%. Moreover, 184 F dominated (86.3%) instances polymorphism no observed at codons 1034, 1042 and 1246. Three haplotypes identified, N SND...

This study was intended to identify the genes responsible for ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing bacterial isolates obtained from Jizan region. A hospital-based cross-sectional conducted over a period of 3 months (15th November 2018–15th February 2019). Fifty non-duplicate, 3rd-generation cephalosporin carbapenem-resistant were collected microbiology lab tertiary care hospital in province screened ESBLs MBLs by phenotypic methods (CDT). The positive (by method) then scanned presence blaESBLs...

Abstract This study investigated the polymorphism in P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter ( pfcrt ) gene 11 years after (CQ) cessation Jazan region, southwestern Saudi Arabia. Two hundred and thirty-five isolates were amplified to detect mutations gene. The 76 T molecular marker for CQ was detected 66.4% (156/235) of isolates, while K76 CQ-sensitive wild type 33.6%. 74 I 75 E point each found be present 56.2% only four (1.7%) carry 72 S mutation. Moreover, haplotypes identified:...

An increasing number of initiatives are being proposed to improve Primary Healthcare Centers. Many these involved E-Health solutions including, but not limited to, the following: Electronic Health Records, online booking, Personal and prescriptions. Incorporating patient input into initiative planning is a key part decision making. The goal study was identify rank patient-centered in primary healthcare based on preferences. We conducted cross-sectional survey for patients. consists three...
