Web Based Survey of Adult Population of West and Central Saudi Arabia about Cause and Management of Keratoconus

Open Journal of Ophthalmology 2020年第4期10卷 341-350页

作者： Sultan Alzuhairy Raghad Hamza moaz alharbi Mohammed Alqadi Atheer Alharthi Khames Torki Alzahrani Ali Hassan Alshehri Department of Ophthalmology Qassim University Buraidah Saudi Arabia Medical College Taif University Taif Saudi Arabia Faculty of Health Sciences King Abdul Aziz University Jeddah Saudi Arabia Medical College Najran University Najran Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health Jeddah Saudi Arabia

Background: Keratoconus (KC) causes visual disability in young adults. To improve its early detection and compliance, improving the awareness of patients and their relatives is crucial. We present the level of awareness about KC among the adult population of western Saudi Arabia and its determinants. Methods: This web-based survey was carried out from June to August 2020 in urban and semi-urban areas in western Saudi Arabia. Demographic and eye ailment profiles were collected. To generate responses on the presentation, causes, management and prevention of KC, a five-point Likert scale was used. The logit values were calculated and graded into good and poor awareness. Awareness was associated with other determinants. Results: We surveyed 420 Saudi adults. The median logit score of awareness about KC among participants was 2.86 (inter quartile range (IQR) 0.86;2.95). The median score of knowledge about the causes and presentation of KC was 2.86 (IQR 1.1;2.86) and for management, it was 0.00 (IQR 0.00;0.18). The level of awareness was good in 286 participants (68.1%) and poor in 134 (31.9%). Residents of major cities (P Conclusions: Awareness about the presentation, causes and management of KC was good in two-thirds of adults but with some variation. Strategies to involve the community and stress health education need to be urgently implemented. Campaigns should target the male and semi-urban population in western Saudi Arabia.

作者： Awad Elsid Osman Sahar alharbi Atif Ali Ahmed Asim Ali Elbagir Pathology and Clinical Laboratory Management Department(PCLM) King Fahad Medical CityRiyadhSaudi Arabia Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine University of Missouri at Children's Mercy HospitalKansas CityMOUSA

Objective: Genome-wide association studies have demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are important risk factors for the development of prostate cancer (PCa). Preliminary studies have suggested that the incidence of PCa in Saudi males is low but is probably familial or genetically ***: To identify any possible association of SNP with PCa development in Saudi patients, we investigated a group of SNPs in Saudi PCa patients (n=85) and compared the outcomes to healthy normal controls (n=115) and nodular hyperplasia patients (n=120). DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded formalin fixed tissue or whole blood from both patients’ groups and healthy control group. A total of thirteen SNPs were genotyped using TaqMan® minor groove binder polymerase chain reaction ***: The rs16901979A, s629242T and rs1447295A alleles were found at significantly higher frequency in PCa patients than controls (p< 0.05). The rs16901979 CA genotype was found at significantly greater frequency in PCa patients than in healthy controls (43% vs. 14%, odds ratio=4.6, p=0.0001) and benign hyperplasia group (43% vs. 25%, odds ratio=2.2, p=0.009).Conclusion: Our study has highlighted the association of rs16901979 SNP with PCa in Saudi males. Such findings have important implications in the PCa diagnosis and in screening unaffected family members of Saudi patients.

Calibration of CO and CO₂ Monitors Used in Periodic Inspection of Vehicles at Fixed Stations for Environmental Control

引用

Green and Sustainable Chemistry 2024年第2期14卷 29-41页

作者： Adel Bassuoni Shehata Abdulrahman Rashed Al Askar Najjy Hamad Al Yami Abdullah Suleiman Al Owaysi Sultan K. alharbi Chemistry Department National Measurement and Calibration Center (NMCC) Saudi Standards Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Global efforts for environmental cleanliness through the control of gaseous emissions from vehicles are gaining momentum and attracting increasing attention. Calibration plays a crucial role in these efforts by ensuring the quantitative assessment of emissions for informed decisions on environmental treatments. This paper describes a method for the calibration of CO/CO2 monitors used for periodic inspections of vehicles in cites. The calibration was performed in the selected ranges: 900 - 12,000 µmol/mol for CO and 2000 - 20,000 µmol/mol for CO2. The traceability of the measurement results to the SI units was ensured by using certified reference materials from CO/N2 and CO2/N2 primary gas mixtures. The method performance was evaluated by assessing its linearity, accuracy, precision, bias, and uncertainty of the calibration results. The calibration data exhibited a strong linear trend with R² values close to 1, indicating an excellent fit between the measured values and the calibration lines. Precision, expressed as relative standard deviation (%RSD), ranged from 0.48 to 4.56% for CO and from 0.97 to 3.53% for CO2, staying well below the 5% threshold for reporting results at a 95% confidence level. Accuracy measured as percent recovery, was consistently high (≥ 99.1%) for CO and ranged from 84.90% to 101.54% across the calibration range for CO2. In addition, the method exhibited minimal bias for both CO and CO2 calibrations and thus provided a reliable and accurate approach for calibrating CO/CO2 monitors used in vehicle inspections. Thus, it ensures the effectiveness of exhaust emission control for better environment.
