| population | Saudi Arabia | “OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in apolipoprotein E (ApoE), clusterin (CLU), tumor necrotic factor- α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) genes, with risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Saudi Arabian participants. METHODS: A total of 42 Saudi AD patients and 23 age-matched control participants were genotyped for eight SNPs: rs429358, rs7412 (ApoE); rs11136000, rs1532278 (CLU); rs1800629, rs1799724 (TNF-α) and rs1800796, rs1800795(IL-6), by RT-PCR using the TaqMan assay. CONCLUSION: Genetic variants in ApoE and CLU may influence susceptibility to AD among Saudi Arabian participants.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Prevalence of congenital heart disease among patients with down syndrome in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data on the prevalence and pattern of congenital heart disease (CHD) among patients with Down syndrome (DS) in Bisha, Saudi Arabia. METHODOLOGY: A total of 42 patients with confirmed DS were enrolled in the study. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of CHD in the study group was consistent with reports from other regions of Saudi Arabia and globally.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “PURPOSE: The first ocular gene augmentation therapy, voretigene neparvovec (VN) (Luxturna®), has been approved for clinical use in an increasing number of countries (FDA USA 2017, EMA Europe 2018, MoHAP United Arab Emirates 2019, SFDA Saudi Arabia 2019, Swiss Medic Switzerland 2020, TGA Australia 2020, BFR Brazil 2020). Forty-two centers see IRD patients, and 22/42 follow patients with confirmed biallelic RPE65 mutations.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Abdominal tuberculosis in a tertiary care centre in Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study is to highlight the incidence and outcome of this infection in a tertiary care centre in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A total of 42 patients with a median age of 49 (range 18-83 years, 78.6% males) were identified.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Molecular confirmation of Bacillus Calmette Guerin vaccine related adverse events among Saudi Arabian children. Recently a series of clinically suspected BCG associated suppurative and non-suppurative lymphadenitis cases were reported from different regions of Saudi Arabia. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Of the total 42 cases, 41 (97.6%) were Saudi nationals and particularly male (64.3%).” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “RESULTS: Overall, 4,042 subjects (51.58%) had normal HPLC (HbA 22.88±8.03; HbF 77.02±8.04), whereas the presence of Hb Barts in the remaining 3,795 cases (48.42%) indicated the presence of α-thalassaemia. CONCLUSION: This is the first study comparing the hemoglobin and red cell indices in the cord blood from newborn Omani subjects with those from other countries in the region, showing comparable results to those seen in Saudi neonates.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Human immunodeficiency virus infection in Saudi Arabian children: transmission, clinical manifestations and outcome. We describe the spectrum, characteristics and outcome of HIV infection in Saudi children. In 42 patients for whom complete records were available, 90% were delivered by spontaneous vaginal delivery and 10% by cesarean delivery.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Intrafamilial clustering of Helicobacter pylori infection in Saudi Arabia. AIM: To study the pattern of Helicobacter pylori infection among family members in the Saudi population. METHODS: A cross-sectional, population-based, seroepidemiological study of family members was undertaken in a Saudi population using saliva H pylori immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies (Helisal kit). RESULTS: A total of 42 families comprising 271 children and 84 parents were studied (355 subjects; mean age 23 years, SD 19 years) The overall frequencies of H pylori IgG antibodies in mothers, fathers and children were 67%, 64% and 23%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These data confirm that the intrafamilial clustering of H pylori infection in Saudi Arabia occurs in a similar pattern to that described in the developed countries, and that living conditions and social conditions lead to person to person transmission of H pylori infection.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Glycosylated hemoglobin in Saudi sickle cell patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb) was measured in 42 Saudi sickle cell patients and in 38 sickle cell patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Sensorineural hearing loss in sickle cell disease patients in Saudi Arabia. Among the complications of sickle cell disease, sensorineural deafness is well documented in the Western literature; little is known about it in Saudi Arabian patients, in whom the general pattern of the disease has been reported to be "mild," attributed partly to high levels of HbF. The auditory function of 42 patients with sickle cell anemia was evaluated clinically and audiometrically and compared with 27 normal controls.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Priapism in association with sickle cell anemia in Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire study of 42 Saudi patients with sickle cell anemia revealed that none of them had ever suffered from priapism. A comparison of hematological parameters between Jamaican priapism patients and Saudi non-priapism patients suggested that high Hb F levels and hypochromic microcytosis in Saudi patients might play an important role in preventing this complication.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
