RESUMO
Background: Assessing the knowledge, attitude and practices of Saudi women toward breast cancer preventive practices improve the possibility of reducing the percentage of deaths from breast cancer as well as its prevalence
Objectives: Evaluating the knowledge and attitude and practice [KAP] towards breast cancer screening among female in Abha city in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia [KSA]
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done and based on a questionnaire sheet conducted in Abha City during the period of September to November 2017 among421 educated Saudi women aged from 20-60 years old
Results: The female's knowledge about the symptoms was restricted to pain in the breast and presence of lump either in the breast or under the armpit, but most of them underestimated the other signs of breast cancer including changing the position and pulling of the nipple, bleeding or discharge from the nipple, nipple rash and redness of the breast. Also, the most significant identified risk factors for breast cancer were family history [59.1%] followed by using hormonal replacement therapy [30.2%]. Most of the subjects has negative attitude toward using mammography for screening while a positive attitude was shown toward seeking for medication. The KAP score was adequate among only 32.5% of the subjects toward breast cancer
Conclusion: The level of knowledge about breast cancer was insufficient among the included subjects and resulted in inappropriate attitude and practice pattern.The majority have never checked for breast cancer or either admitted to clinical examination of breast using mammography screening technique
RESUMO
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver sickness [NAFLD] is a variety of liver pathological conditions that intensely related to other chronic diseases including obesity and diabetes
Objectives: Systematically evaluating the role of lifestyle interventions on reducing the activity of NAFLD
Methods: Collecting all the studies regarding the effects of changing the diet, exercise or combination of both on the activity or markers of NAFLD during the period from 2006 to 2017
Results: Database searches returned 122 citations with 92 included in more than one search then the final studied which include in this study was 19 articles. Five articles studied the effects of a combination of dietary and exercise interventions, four of these articles showed positive results regarding the Dietetic Association [ADA] Quality Criteria Checklist, while only one article showed a neutral results, i.e. 80.0% of the articles showed a positive effect of the combination of diet and exercise on the effect of NAFLD patients
Conclusion: This review showed that the combination of healthy life interventions, including exercise and health diet, are effective in reducing the activity of NAFLD and could result in complete reversal of the condition. Thus NAFLD patients are advised to lose about 10% of their weight and engaging in regular exercises for 5 days per week
RESUMO
Introduction: The pathway of glycogen metabolism is regulated by many hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and corticosteroids. Glycogen storage diseases [GSD] most commonly affect muscles, liver, or both and occur in each 20000 to 43000 live birth. They are classified into 12 subtypes, but types I, II, and IX are the most common
Methodology: We conducted this review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE, from January 2001, through February 2017. The following search terms were used: glycogen storage diseases, Von Gierke disease, Pompe's disease, Cori Disease, Forbes disease, Andersen's disease, McArdle disease, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal hepatomegaly
Aim: In this review, we aim to study the genetic basis, diagnosis, presentation, and different management approach to various common types of glycogen storage diseases prevalent in pediatric population
Conclusion: There are no cures for any type of glycogen storage diseases presently. Most treatments are designed to control signs and symptoms. The overall goals are primarily avoiding hypoglycemia, hyperlactatemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperlipidemia. Liver transplantation should be deliberated for patients with GSD type IV and for other progressive hepatic types of GSDs in order to avoid hepatic failure or malignancy. More research must be carried out to develop newer and more effective ways of management

RESUMO
Surgical wound infections prompt antagonistic patient results, including delayed hospitalization and demise. Wound infection happens with every entry point; however demonstrated procedures exist to diminish the hazard of surgical injury diseases. Specifically, enhanced adherence to prove that based deterrent measures identified with fitting antimicrobial prophylaxis can diminish the rate of surgical wound infection. Various patient-related and technique related components impact the danger of surgical injury disease, and henceforth counteractive action requires a package approach, with deliberate consideration regarding numerous hazard factors, to diminish the hazard of bacterial pollution and enhance the patient's defenses. Forceful surgical debridement and successful antimicrobial treatment are expected to enhance the treatment of surgical wound infections
