Management and follow-up of dyslipidemia in primary health care setting

Introduction: Management of dyslipidemia is an important part of most practice guidelines with many variations between these guidelines. Unfortunately, usually these guidelines are not followed widely on the level of primary care, possibly due to insufficient qualification of health care staff in primary care, non-participation in recent guidelines, and unrealistic target assigned to patients that leads them to non-compliance with medication and follow-up

Methodology: We conducted this review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE, January 2001, through February 2017. The following search terms were used: dyslipidemia, primary health care dyslipidemia management, follow-up of dyslipidemia.

Aim: In this review, we aimed at evaluating the management expected from primary health care for risk assessment, treatment and follow-up of patients with dyslipidemia

Conclusion: Many guidelines exist for the proper management of dyslipidemia in the primary care setting. Screening is crucial for preventing the cardiovascular sequelae of dyslipidemia. Management modalities include lifestyle modification and pharmacotherapy, while the significance of follow-up cannot be neglected

prevalence of neck pain and the relationship between prolonged use of electronic devices and neck pain in: a Saudi Arabia, cross- sectional study in Saudi Arabia

Background: Since the use of smart phones has increased recently, their impact on people individual's health is not well established. It is important and critical to examine and discover the presence, absence or the magnitude of this impact, especially among young people, because the pediatrics in certain communities constitutes >25%

Aim of the work: determination of the prevalence of neck pain among children/adolescents and its relationship with time spent using electronic devices [e-devices]. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia using an online google survey form, which was distributed through social media to 2435 participants to find out the prevalence of neck pain among pediatric population and its relationship with e-devices use

Results: Our study showed that roughly a quarter of the participants in Saudi Arabia have pediatric population having neck pain, and mostpediatric sufferers are between 15-18 years. More time spent using e-devices was associated with increased complaints of neck pain, specifically, children at the age of 7-11 years spending 5-8 hours/day on e-devices. Around 70% had an aching pain that required them to ask for Doctor's

Conclusion: The research sample reported that children's use of electronic devices showed a close association with neck pain and the more the child spends time using an electronic device the greater is the complaint of neck pain. We found that there is a positive correlation between long time smart devices use and neck pain

role of radiology in anterior shoulder dislocation

Glenohumeral bone defects are a typical finding in shoulder dislocation and they are intensely connected with the reappearance of dislocation and failure following arthroscopic Bankart repair. Advanced imaging assessment should subsequently be performed in order to recognize, quantify and portray the bone defects. Despite the fact that magnetic resonance has significant value in the appraisal of the glenoid labrum and rotator cuff, computed tomography scan is the examination of choice for studying bone defects. The imaging methodology selected for shoulder dislocation relies upon its accessibility and the treatment plan for a specific patient. Radiography is economical and is promptly accessible. It ought to be executed as the underlying imaging examination in patients giving a clinical issue identified with the shoulder. It complements the other advanced methods and gives an outline of the bony components of the shoulder joint. In few patients, radiography obviates additional imaging
