Using spirometry testing, this study examines the effects of pregnancy on the lungs of pregnant women with and without bronchial asthma. The survey included 200 asthmatic pregnant women overall and 100 pregnant healthy women. FEV1, PEFR, FVC, and FEV1/FVC ratio, among other lung func Read More

Objectives: The aim of this study was to find out the association between pregnancy-induced hypertension and the quality of life of the study participants. The study also aimed to detect an association between quality of life and certain demographic data for pregnant women with elevated blood pressure during different gestational periods. Methods: A descriptive correlational study design was used. A non-pro Read More

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can cause cerebral vasospasm, which narrows the arteries in the brain and significantly affects the prognosis of the patient. Its limitations persist despite current treatments, which is why new delivery pathways such as the nose-to-brain pathway are being investigated. This non-invasive approach to access the central nervous system allows the blood–brain barrier (B Read More

Introduction: The majority of dental implants and prostheses rely on the association with the soft tissues that may be vulnerable to future requirements.1 There are two main requirements for osseointegration: first, the bone must be healthy; second, the implant must be stable and able to withstand the functional load.2 Methods and Results: Using both the computer12 model and finite element analysis tech Read More

Background: Traditional teaching methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are not effective for most learners today. They may lead to lack of retention of survival skills and poor outcomes. Various methods are adopted to provide optimal, effective, and attractive teaching methods. Application (app)-based teaching can be used as an alternative way for learners to develop their knowledge and skills. De Read More

Cases and Methods: The study was conducted at Um Alrabeaen Institution for blind and purblind people in June to July 2022. The depression scale was applied during a semi-structured interview with parents of blind children using the modified Hamilton scale, which consisted of Read More

Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify the components of self-esteem among obese university students from different academic levels. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted between September 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022 to assess the level of self- assessments of obese students at the university level in a non-probability purposive sample. The study sample was selected from different grade Read More

This study demonstrates the potential of sulindac to enhance resistance to tumor proliferation by both blocking tumor-induced immune suppression and stopping the growth of oral tumors. In contrast to adriamycin, sulindac significantly reduces the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and IL-6 from tumor cells by downregulating the NFκB and JNK signaling pathways. Additionally, it Read More

Background: Chest trauma is one of the leading causes of death in all age groups and accounts for 25–50% of all traumatic injuries. A small but significant proportion of individuals with thoracic injuries need an emergency thoracotomy (ET) during their primary resuscitation, although the majority can be managed conservatively. Surgical intervention has been recommended for the withdrawal of pericardial tampo Read More

Background: For all children, television serves as a window to the outside world. Watching too much television leads to several health issues in children of all ages.

Nano vesicles, one of several existing nanoscale drug delivery systems, offer extremely promising new ways to develop treatments for degenerative diseases, cancer, and inflammation. The primary goals in developing nanocarriers are to control particle size, surface characteristics, and drug release to achieve specific objectives. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately characterize nanocarriers to ef Read More

Solid oral dosage forms are widely used in the management of chronic diseases. They are preferred due to their ease of administration, affordability, stability, and accuracy in dose measurement. However, there are challenges with oral delivery due to a number of physiological and metabolic barriers that may impair therapeutic efficacy. Difficulties such as limited water solubility and biological membrane tr Read More
