Drug-related problems (DRPs) "are the unwanted effects of drugs that potentially lead to a harmful outcome" thereby requiring considerable attention. Hospitalized pediatric patients, in particular, represent population at risk DRPs. The epidemiology preventable DRPs among children Saudi Arabia remains scarce, which thus poses distinct challenges all healthcare professionals. We aim characterize hospitalized KAMC-Jeddah.A prospective observational study (≤15 years) admitted units (excluding cancer units) KAMC-Jeddah over 3-month period (May 29 August 30, 2016) is carried out determine incidence and investigate possible associated factors (gender, age, admission location, type admission, number medications).A total 319 were identified 235 280 (87.8%, 280/319) deemed preventable. majority related dose selection (78%, 219/280). None life threatening or fatal, assessed as moderate severity (94.3%, 264/280). There was no significant difference between DRP incidences with age mean 3.5 (P=0.389), gender (P=0.436), weight 13.47 (P=0.323). Younger (age ≤2years) PICU more likely have (OR 4.44, 95% CI, 1.87 10.52, P=0.00001). Scheduled admissions 2.89 times be exposed compared transferred 2.8, 1.83 4.70, P=0.005).

Background: The association of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations with obesity has been investigated in diverse populations across the world. However, such obesity-associated mtDNA examinations are rarely conducted Arab populations. Materials and methods: We re-sequenced displacement loop (D-loop) region 395 individuals Kuwait. categorized based on their BMI scores as obese (n=232; ≥30 kg/m2), overweight (n=110; ≥25 kg/m2 <30 lean (n=53; <25 kg/m2). performed all statistical tests by combining one group. Association analyses were applying Fisher's exact test logistic regression model. Results: identified that m.73A>G, m.523delAC positively correlated obesity, while m.310T>C, m.16318A>T negatively associated. All these variants, except m.16318A>T, remain statistically significant after adjusting for age gender. found variant m.73A>G increases likelihood being 6-fold, whereas haplogroup H decreases probability Haplotype analysis revealed a haplotype, A263G-C309CT-T310C, defining H2a clade haplogroup, reduces obese. Conclusion: Our study reports, first time, obesity-related variants Arabs Based D-loop variations, we detected particular related increased decreased Kuwait population.

Waterpipe (WP) use has become a global trend in young populations. However, there are few well-controlled studies focusing specifically on the chronic effects of exclusive WP adults' respiratory health. We sought to compare adults burden symptoms regular smokers (WPS) relative cigarette (CS, positive controls) and non-smokers (negative controls); evaluate differences health-related quality life between three groups.We implemented cross-sectional survey college campuses across four countries (Egypt, Jordan, Morocco Oman). Purposive sampling was employed identify habitual (regular) healthy WPS (smoked 3 or more per week for years); CS 5 cigarettes daily non-smokers. Respiratory were assessed using European Community Health Survey American Thoracic Society Division Lung Diseases Questionnaire. Health-related measured Short-Form 12. Demographic, environmental lifestyle factors also measured.The analytic sample included 135 WPS, 303 CS, 300 Either tobacco group had significantly greater proportions males than non-smoker group. A lower proportion (than either group) overweight obese. Average numbers reported 5.1, 5.8, 2.9 non-smokers, respectively. In multivariable regressions controlling exposures, body mass index, physical activity, exhibited higher rates (1.6 times 1.9 rate respectively). Non-smokers scores general health CS.Relative their non-smoking counterparts, exhibit significant that is comparable observed with CS. Young (and CS), despite age, may be well way developing disease.

Lung cancer is considered as a common cause of mortality. The disease represents the second and third causes deaths from among Iranian women men, respectively. present study aimed to evaluate spatial variations in relative risk lung mortality Iran its relation factors between men specific women.In this ecological study, data were analyzed during 2011-2014. Besag, York, Mollie's (BYM) model shared component (SCM) used compare by applying OpenBUGS version 3.2.3 R 3.6.1.The median age for death due 74 years. During 2011-2014, age-standardized rates 12 5 per 100,000 individuals, In addition, almost similar patterns observed both women. Further, factors, which are women, main variation regions under highest impact women-specific was estimated northeastern southwestern country while lowest related Gilan province northern part Iran.Based on pattern, at relatively high levels most parts Iran, especially northwest country. Regarding high-risk considerably extended. concentration eastern, central, parts. smoking effect, second-smoking effect environmental pollutions could play more significant roles

The incidence of skin cancer has increased over the past few years, owing to excessive exposure ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Over decade, protection against solar radiation been highly encouraged in numerous public health education campaigns. adopted sun practices include avoiding sun, using protective clothing, and applying sunscreen. aim this paper was analyze awareness attitudes towards some regions Arabian Peninsula.The main objective study is estimate level determine factors that have a significant impact on adoption by residents Peninsula.A 35-question self-reporting online questionnaire evaluate measures distributed Kingdom Saudi Arabia Bahrain. survey conducted from January 2018 May 2019, total 830 responses were collected for analysis. data analyzed statistical software SPSS. chi-squared test Spearman's correlation performed association with concerning socio-demographic characteristics, sensitivity, health-conscious lifestyle, measures, general about UV index, cancer, vitamin D. Logistic regression classification applied developing empirical model predict residents.Based analysis, only 34% respondents use sunscreen most users are female. three popular are: 1) during peak hours, 2) 3) sunglasses. results indicate 22% low protection, 53% medium while 25% high protection. Many understand can cause aging, 54% still believe suntan be healthy if sunburn avoided. Thirty percent participants aware 20% all know correct meaning index. overall predictive accuracy constructed logistic 67%. Based model, five perception or not, age, dangerous effects exposure, 4) income respect expenses, 5) taking index into consideration sun.Most However, inadequate. An efficient strategy increasing effective systems must established based prevent cancer.

We sought to explore the temporal trend of ischemic heart disease (IHD) incidence rate (IR) in a large city Iran.The study population comprised hospitalized patients who were living Isfahan, Iran, with first or recurrent IHD during period 2001 2016. To identify patients, clinical diagnostic codes applied according International Classification Diseases 10 (ICD-10: I20.0, I21-I25) and "World Health Organization Monitoring Trends Determinants Cardiovascular Disease" categories (WHO-MONICA). Using direct method, we calculated age-, sex-, place-of-residence-adjusted rates based on multiple reference populations. examine long-term for IR, bootstrap robust zero-truncated negative binomial regression model was used.A total 102,254 mean (SD) age 61.85 (12.79), registered between After an initial reduction from 2006 2010, crude adjusted IRs increased 2010 further observed significant increasing IR average annual change 1.42% 3.36% over period.Our findings showed decreasing possibly attributed comprehensive community-based interventions named "Isfahan Healthy Heart Program" performed 2007, followed by increase 2016 Isfahan; this indicates importance continuing preventive measures preclude risk factors cardiovascular diseases our population.
