populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Here, we describe a 24-year-old woman from Medina, Saudi Arabia, who presented with life-threatening DAH and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary to MPO-AAV. This is the first reported case from Saudi Arabia of avacopan use in MPO-AAV with predominantly pulmonary involvement, underscoring the need for regional real-world evidence to guide its optimal use in this challenging phenotype.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Meteorological data implications modeling on evapotranspiration variability in arid and semi-arid zones in Saudi Arabia using hybrid metaheuristic. In this paper, the Bat algorithm (BAT) with the Newton Method (NM), Bird Swarm Algorithm (BSA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Chicken Swarm Optimization Algorithm (CSO) are used as a hybrid model in arid and semi-arid zones in Saudi Arabia as well as for modeling rainfall, temperature, and solar radiation implications on evapotranspiration variability. The results suggest that the application of a hybrid model can improve the accuracy of evapotranspiration simulations in terms of statistical parameters, whereas BAT-GA-NM reduced MAPE from 38.88 to 4.16% for Mekkah and from 14.94 to 2.04% for Medina and NSCE from - 0.17 to 0.97 for Mekkah and from 0.82 to 0.99%.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Assessing the Quality of Life of Parents of Children With Thalassemia: A Cross-Sectional Study in Medina City, Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess QOL from the perspective of parents of thalassemic children in Medina City, Saudi Arabia. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 52 parents in Medina through September and October 2023 using a socio-demographic and clinical characteristic questionnaire and an assessment of parents' QOL. RESULTS: The study was conducted among 52 parents in Medina, with a mean (standard deviation (SD)) age of 44.4 (9.5). The parent's low income (p<0.001) and being non-Saudi parents (p=0.017) were significant factors for low QOL and health. CONCLUSION: Parents with thalassemic children revealed moderate QOL and health in Medina City, Saudi Arabia.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Bioinformatics and network pharmacology-based study to elucidate the multi-target pharmacological mechanism of the indigenous plants of Medina valley in treating HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma. The incidence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in Saudi Arabia is not surprising given the relatively high prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Hepatitis C is also common in Saudi Arabia with a prevalence rate of 1% to 3% of the population, which further increases the risk of HCC. Traditional medicine has long been a part of Saudi Arabian culture, and many medicinal plants have been used for centuries to treat various ailments, including cancer. Following that, this study combines network pharmacology with bioinformatics approaches to potentially revolutionize HCV-related HCC treatment by identifying effective phytochemicals of indigenous plants of Medina valley.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Incidence of non-syndromic orofacial cleft during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVES: This is the first national study to investigate the incidence of non-syndromic oro-facial clefts (NSOFC) and Pierre-Robin-Sequence in Saudi Arabia over the Covid-19 pandemic period. METHODS: All maternity hospitals (30-hospitals) in the major regions and cities of Saudi from November 2020-to-2021 were included in the study. The incidence of NSOFC in Saudi Arabia was calculated by comparing the number of NSOFCs cases born out of all live births during the study period at the included hospitals. Of these, 177 were diagnosed with NSOFC giving an incidence of 1.26/1,000 live-births in Saudi Arabia and the highest incidence in Medina city (2.46/1000 live-births). CONCLUSION: The national incidence of NSOFC in Saudi Arabia was 1.26/1000 live births with variation between phenotypes and regions in the country. In addition, to reporting Covid-19 infection prevalence and vaccine exposure among NSOFC's mothers, this study represents the first of its type to evaluate NSOFC prevalence in Saudi Arabia on a national level.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Differential disease phenotypes and progression in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: comparative analyses of single Canadian and Saudi Arabian clinics. To assess geographic and ethnic effects on RR-MS phenotypes, we investigated RR-MS patients in Canada and Saudi Arabia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients followed in two MS Clinics was performed in Medina, Saudi Arabia and Edmonton, Canada. RESULTS: Patients with treated RR-MS were recruited (n = 51, Saudi; n = 47, Canada) although the disease duration was longer in the Canadian cohort (5.6 ± 2.2 yr.) compared to the Saudi cohort (4.4 ± 1.4 yr.) (P < 0.05), annual relapse rate and EDSS change were higher in the Saudi cohort (P < 0.05). Infratentorial lesion-associated presentation differed (Canada, n = 23; Saudi, n = 13) among groups (P < 0.05). Spinal cord lesions on MRI were more frequently detected in Canadian (n = 23) compared to Saudi (n = 1) patients (P < 0.05). Patients within the Saudi cohort displayed a significantly greater change in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) between first and second assessments. CONCLUSIONS: Despite differences in geographic location, ethnicity, and predominance of infratentorial lesions in the Canadian group, the RR-MS phenotypes were similar although the Saudi cohort displayed a more severe disease course.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“In this study, biological activities and profiling of primary and secondary metabolites were investigated in the leaves of five B. aegyptiaca provenances collected from Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. Medina provenance showed the heights diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and antifungal activities and was the most powerful against embryonic kidney adenocarcinoma and urinary bladder carcinoma cells.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
populationSaudi Arabia, Medina“Investigation of viral and bacterial enteropathogens of diarrheic sheep and goats in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The present study investigated the prevalence of some viral and bacterial enteropathogens in diarrheic sheep and goats between October 2015and February 2016 in Medina, Saudi Arabia. This study provides valuable data on the prevalence of viral and bacterial enteropathogens in sheep and goats in Medina, Saudi Arabia that will be useful to develop control measures for these pathogens.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1

METHODS: The study was performed on the female students of Taibah University in Al Medina, KSA during June 2014 to April 2015. CONCLUSION: The results of this study shows a significant association between TT genotype of rs12218 and both lipid level and osteoporosis in Saudi female population.”0.95saudi_context_rules_v1
