RESUMEN
Prophetic medicine is the total authentic Hadith narrated by the Prophet, peace be upon him, in relation to medicine, whether Qur'anic verses or honourable Prophetic Hadith. It includes remedy recipes, by which the Prophet, peace be upon him, was cured or he called people to be cured by. Furthermore, it includes recommendations relevant to human health in the conditions of life, including eating, drinking, housing, and marriage. It comprehends legislations related to medication, medicine in practicing the profession, and the guarantee of the patient in the perspective of Islamic Law. Ibn Al Qayyim, may Allah be merciful with him, in his book Zad Al Ma'ad Fe Haday Khair Al Abad, said: "The medicine of the Messenger, peace be upon him, is not similar to the medicine of physicians. The medicine of the Prophet, peace be upon him, is certain, categorical, and godly medicine; issued by the Revelation, Prophethood niche, and sagacity; while the medicine of others is inductive, assumptive, and experimental." In KSA alone, 3.8 million cases of diabetes were recorded, thus warranting increased global health concern. Scientific evidence has accorded the claim of several plants and honey listed in prophetic medicine, which improve glycaemic control in diabetes mellitus. In addition to their hypoglycaemic effect, studies indicate that extracts from those plants and honey ameliorate other associated metabolic derangements. In this review, we present several of the latest findings linking the bioefficacy of these plants and honey with the pathogenesis of diabetes and insulin secretion in diabetes mellitus subjects
RESUMEN
A descriptive, analytic study was conducted among Saudi adult, who presented to two major causalty units, King Fahd Hospital of the University [Al Khobar], and Al Mouwasat Hospital [Dammam]. One hundred skull x-rays of Saudi adults were selected for studying the dimensional and structural anatomy of the sella turcica and the types of sphenoid sinus. The dimensional anatomy of the sella turcica included the length and depth and the structural anatomy classified the shape. The sphenoid sinus was classified according to the degree of pneumatisation. The study material included 50 males and 50 females, with a mean age of 33 years. The mean length of the sella turcica was 12.8 mm and the mean depth was 8.5 mm. Rounded sella turcica was most frequently encountered and seen in 52 individuals, followed by the C-shaped in 29, and the J-shaped sella turcica seen in 19 individuals. None of this adult group had conchal type sphenoid sinus, 37 had pre-sellar types, and 63 individuals had the sellar type sphenoid sinus. This is the first study in Saudi Arabia looking into the normal radiological variation of the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus, in both shape and dimensions, among the Saudi population
