One of the most important steps in curriculum development is introduction simulation- based medical teaching and learning. Simulation a generic term that refers to an artificial representation real world process achieve educational goals through experiential education defined as any activity utilizes simulation aides replicate clinical scenarios. Although relatively new, has been used for long time other high risk professions such aviation. Medical allows acquisition skills deliberate...
Background and Objective Oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus its complications. Our previous study has shown glucose lowering effect produced by 3 months supplementation Nigella sativa (NS) combination with oral hypoglycemic drugs among type 2 diabetics. This explored the long term (over one year) NS patients on to redox status such patients. Methods 114 diabetic standard were assigned into groups convenience. The control group (n = 57) received...
The world is experiencing a life-altering and extraordinary situation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are limited data controversies regarding relationship between vitamin D (Vit D) status disease. Thus, this study was designed investigate association Vit levels severity or outcomes of
Aims: To compare the incidence of symptomatic hypoglycaemia in fasting Muslim patients with type 2 diabetes treated sitagliptin or a sulphonylurea during Ramadan. Methods: Patients (age ≥ 18 years) who were stable dose without metformin for at least 3 months prior to screening, had an HbA1c < 10% and expressed their intention daytime fast Ramadan eligible this open-label study. randomised 1 : ratio either switch 100 mg qd remain on prestudy sulphonylurea. completed daily diary cards document...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia are at a high risk of cardiovascular complications. OBJECTIVES:To determine the effect Nigella sativa supplementation on lipid profile, mean arterial pressure, heart rate in persons type 2 diabetes oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA).DESIGN: Single-blind, nonrandomized.SETTING: Diabetes clinic university hospital Saudi Arabia.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Type-2 diabetic were recruited by purposive sampling assigned to treatment or control...
T he two main forms of vitamin D are D2 or ergocalciferol, which is obtained from plant and foods such as mushrooms, fish egg yolk, 3 cholecalciferol, formed in the skin after exposure to sunlight ultraviolet light.Vitamin important for calcium homeostasis essential skeletal health.Deficiency responsible development rickets children osteomalacia adults. 1 There no absolute consensus on cut-off value between a normal low level D. Recently, many studies have used 32 ng/mL most experts now...
The atherogenic pattern of dyslipidemia associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has been increasingly discussed. We have recently reported a hypoglycemic effect Nigella sativa (NS) seeds in patients DM. In this study we sought to assess the impact NS on lipid profile diabetic patients.A total 94 DM were recruited and divided into 3 dose groups. Capsules containing administered orally 1, 2, g/day for 12 weeks. All subjected measurement cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density...
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency has recently been recognized in different parts the world, even affecting healthy populations. can lead to rickets children and osteomalacia adults. Few studies have done evaluate status medical community. objective this study was low levels Saudi students.A cross-sectional carried out November 2009 on male female students preclerkship years school at King Faisal University, Dammam. Data age, consumption dairy products seafood, exposure sunlight were...
To examine the effect of most common studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in Saudi Arabian population. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out between July 2014 and October 2015, at King Fahd Hospital University (KFHU), Al-Khobar, Kingdom Arabia. After informed consent, blood samples from 283 subjects living Eastern province were collected for 25-OHD measurement genetic analysis SNPs vitamin receptor (VDR) [rs2228570...
To study the effect of Nigella sativa supplementation on cardiac functions in Type 2 diabetic patients treated with oral hypoglycemic agents.
Vitamin D deficiency is common among Saudi Arabian population. To evaluate the current status of vitamin fortification and calcium content commonly consumed food items by population to compare it US data.Cross-sectional market survey at markets Eastern Province Arabia State Illinois, USA.A dietary was carried out for on most products which are suppose be fortified D. The included different brands fresh milk, yoghurt, powdered cheese, ready-to-eat breakfast cereals orange juice. in studied...
Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a rare congenital condition that includes the triad of thin pituitary stalk, an ectopic posterior gland, and absent or hypoplastic anterior gland usually diagnosed in infancy. This report presents two cases late diagnosis PSIS literature review relevant cases. The objective to update data on such uncommon avoid consequences dysfunction including short stature, impaired cognitive function, negative impact bone health, adrenal crises delayed...
Background/Objectives: Hypoparathyroidism (HPT) is a common complication following thyroid surgery with an incidence reaching up to 29%, potentially resulting in significant long-term morbidity. To improve its early identification and patient outcomes, we investigated the prevalence predictors of postoperative HPT. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter observational study included patients who underwent from 2016 2022 four centers located Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. We analyzed...
Abstract Background: Chest radiography is important in detecting chest abnormalities, an essential skill for medical students during their transition into clinical years. Although critical, limited research has evaluated students’ competencies X-ray interpretation, a recognized area of weakness. Objectives: This study aims to (1) assess and confidence (2) measure the effectiveness educational intervention, (3) determine influence history on decision-making. Materials Methods: experimental...
Little attention has been paid to the problem of male osteoporosis in Saudi Arabia. In this prospective study we assessed prevalence among Arabs.We studied Arabian males >50 years age attending outpatient clinics at King Fahd Hospital University, Al-Khobar, between 1 May 2005 and 30 January 2006. We determined body mass index (BMI) tests were done rule out secondary osteoporosis. All subjects had a bone mineral density (BMD) measurement hip area lumbar spine using dual energy X-ray...
Vitamin D status varies with age, sex, body mass index (BMI), race, skin color, latitudes, sun exposure, and dietary intake [1]. A level between 52 72 nmol/l (21–29 ng/ml) has been defined as a state of insufficiency <50 (<20 vitamin deficiency [2]. found to be common among the healthy Saudi population [3, 4]. Homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD-SS) is also in Arabia, affecting up 5.27% [5]. Young patients homozygous were have high prevalence low bone [6, 7]. We hypothesize that 25(OH)D...
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis, yet few patients receive proper measures to prevent its development. We retrospectively searched prescription records determine if receiving oral prednisolone were prophylaxis or treatment for osteopenia and osteoporosis.Patients who prescribed > =7.5 milligrams 6 months longer during a 6- month period identified through monitoring system. Demographic clinical data extracted from patient records,...
