Abstract: The typical causes of premenstrual abnormal uterine bleeding (e.g., menorrhagia) are gynecologic and include pregnancy-related bleeding (e.g., abortion and ectopic pregnancy), fibroids, adenomyosis, endometrial hyperplasia, cervical and uterine cancers, etc., and medical causes like coagulation disorders. Hypothyroidism must be considered a cause of menorrhagia, especially in women on thyroid hormone replacement therapy (who are non-compliant) due to its suppressive effects on ovulation with subsequent estrogen-induced breakthrough bleeding, coupled with hypocoagulation and fibrinolysis. This case study from rural Kenya highlights how non-adherence to lifelong thyroxine replacement therapy led to profound hypothyroidism with classical physical findings and caused severe recurrent menorrhagia, which subsequently resolved with compliant treatment.

Abstract: The aim of this study were to assess maternal food habit, their nutrient intake and physical activity pattern on the new born anthropometry. Pregnant women (200) at the second and third trimesters attending secondary and tertiary health facilities in Abeokuta were systematically selected into the study using their booking register (N/n) irrespective of their socio-economic characteristics. Semi structured pretested questionnaire consisting of 19point questions on food habit, FAO/WHO 24hr diet and physical activity recall (in minutes) with Ainsworth physical activity compendium tracking events with meal time were administered to the respondents to assess their food habits, nutrient intake and physical activity respectively while the new born anthropometry were obtained as secondary data from delivery record. The nutrient intake and physical activity were evaluated using nutria-survey 17.0; the nutrient intake was compared with Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) while physical activity and new born anthropometry were classified according to WHO. Result indicated that 90.9% of respondents were within 20-39years, 83.0% Yoruba tribe, 86.0% married, 50.3% had tertiary education, 32.2% were traders while 41.0%earn ₦18000-₦50000 monthly. Food habit shows that 12.5% has food taboo, 2.5% drink alcohol, 24.0% skip meals, 7.0% smoke cigarette while 25.5% purchased their meal rather than prepare it. Majority (84.4%) were physically inactive, 11.1% moderately active while only 4.5% were vigorously active. About half (48.8%) of the new born were pre-termed, 20.0% had short length, 15.6% low birth weight and 31.8% had high head circumference. There was no direct association between Physical activity and the new born anthropometry measured but there were significant association between socio-economic status and nutrient intake (p=0.007), nutrient intake (carbohydrate) and almost all the new born anthropometry (p=0.006). The carbohydrate and micronutrient intake of the respondents influenced birth outcome especially pre-termed birth. Therefore, improvement in micronutrients particularly calcium are hereby recommended to the respondents of the study.

Abstract: Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is considered as one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Management of MI include long-term therapy and lifestyle modification. Adherence and compliance to therapy require a great deal of commitment and lifestyle changes that are important for improving the quality life and living with less complications. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of adherence and compliance to therapy on the quality of life among MI patients. Results from the current study would shed the light on a serious health problem that affect Saudi population and would serve as a basic for further assessment and evaluation to improve patients‟ QOL and overall outcomes.

Methods: A descriptive correlational cross-sectional design was used to answer the research questions. A convenient sample of 95 patients who were diagnosed with MI were recruited from Prince Sultan Cardiac Center, Riyadh city, KSA. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview using Hill-Bone Compliance questionnaires, WHO-QOL questionnaire along with demographic and disease related data.

Results: Majority of the participants were males, 40 years and old, married, holding primary, secondary and university degrees, and were either retired or housewives. A considerable percentage diagnosed with MI within a year at the age of 40 years and older, and had some chronic illnesses mainly DM and hypertension. Hundred percent reported good adherence and compliance to medication, while majority reported good adherence to appointments keeping and diet. On the other hand, majority reported just fair physical QOL, while majority reported good psychological, social and environmental QOL. In addition, majority rated their QOL as good and were satisfied with their health. Education reported significance association with medication adherence and appointment keeping and when they were diagnosed with MI significantly associated with medication adherence. Further, marital status and occupation significantly associated with psychological QOL, while age associated with social QOL and gender associated with environmental QOL. Presence of chronic illness associated with physical QOL.

Conclusion and Recommendations: The current study reported association between adherence and compliance with therapy and QOL among patients with MI. Demographic and disease related factors also impacted adherence and QOL. Assessing patients at risk for low adherence and low QOL are crucial. Further research is required to explore more about physical quality of life outcomes among Saudi population.

Abstract: The integration of advanced data analytics and predictive modeling in healthcare is revolutionizing decision-making processes, improving patient outcomes, and optimizing resource allocation. This paper explores the application of these technologies in healthcare management, focusing on their ability to analyze vast datasets, uncover patterns, and predict future outcomes. We evaluated various predictive models, including Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM), and Neural Networks, using a comprehensive dataset from electronic health records (EHRs). Our findings indicate that Neural Networks and GBM outperformed other models in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC, demonstrating their robustness in handling complex healthcare data. The study also highlights the importance of data quality, model interpretability, and ethical considerations in the deployment of predictive models. By leveraging these advanced analytical tools, healthcare providers can enhance clinical decision-making, personalize treatment plans, and allocate resources more efficiently. This paper contributes to the ongoing efforts to harness the power of predictive analytics in healthcare, emphasizing the need for further research to overcome existing challenges and fully realize the potential of these technologies.

Abstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most serious form of interstitial lung disease and is characterized by chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia and the pathognomonic usual interstitial pattern (UIP) on a high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan of the lungs, as well as lung histology. Risk factors associated with IPF include cigarette smoking, environmental exposures to biomass fuel smoke, organic dust, and other air pollutants. IPF is invariably progressive and fatal, with a mean survival of 2-5 years after diagnosis and a mortality rate of up to 85% following an acute exacerbation. Whereas anti-fibrotic agents like nintedanib and pirfenidone may slow down the decline of pulmonary function even in advanced disease, they are not readily affordable for a typical rural Kenyan patient. In this study, we report on the diagnostic process of IPF in a rural Kenyan woman and highlight the challenges of managing end-stage IPF.

Abstract: Background: Perineal trauma can expose many women to short/ long-term physical, psychological, and social complications. As birth is imminent, the primary priority ismaintaining perineal integrity and avoiding perineal tear. Different perineal techniques are being used to protect the perineum and prevent injury including the three proposed methods (FMPP- VMPP-MRM). Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between various manual perineal protection techniques and birth outcomes during the second stage of labour. Methodology: a non-experimental quantitative study was performed at East Jeddah hospital, KSA. The study population consisted of a non-probability convenience sampling of 180 parturient women. Data collection was done by filling out the questionnaire through direct questions and observation of the childbirth process after consenting. Result: The main finding of the current study shows that the mean age was 31.8± 5.8 years (P <0.05), More than three- quarters of participants were multigravida and used a directed way of pushing, The vast majority of newborns were in cephalic presentation, occipito-posterior position, their weights were average (2.5-3.5kg). The VMPP technique was the most dominant MPP technique used by the attendants. The mean of the first stage, second stage, and pushing time was (8.3 ±3.9/Hr., 38.6 ±24.7/ min, & 27.5 ±18.8/ min) respectively. No complications during childbirth had been observed, and all newborns were vigorous 7-10 APGAR scores at the first and fifth minutes of life. Conclusion:  This study concluded that there were no significant differences between the use of VMPP or FMPP techniques regarding birth outcomes. Worth mentioning that there was no single case of OASIs has been reported.
