Real-World Registry on the Pharmacotherapy of Multiple Myeloma and Associated Renal and Pulmonary Impairments in the Greater Gulf Region: Protocol for a Retrospective Real-World Data Study
CONCLUSIONS: Although MM is a predominant hematological disease, data on its prevalence and patients' characteristics in the Greater Gulf region are scarce. Therefore, this study will give us real-world insights into disease characteristics and various management approaches of patients with MM in the Greater Gulf region.INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): DERR1-10.2196/49861.PMID:38657230 | DOI:10.2196/49861 (Source: Cell Research)

Correlation between maternal and umbilical cord 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels over a range of values. A prospective observational study from the United Arab Emirates
by Magnus Jutell, Shakura Bhat, Maria Lindstrom Bagge, Per-Erik Isberg, Nana Wiberg
Worldwide vitamin D insufficiency is remarkably prevalent in both children and adults, including pregnant women. The total amount of the vitamin is best measured by 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D), which is a measurement of total serum cholecalciferol 25(OH)D3 and ergocalciferol 25(OH)D2. There is a known correlation between maternal and umbilical cord blood (UCB) 25(OH)D; however, whether specific maternal demographics or comorbidities influence the correlation remains uncertain. This prospective observational study was designed to study i...

Glycaemic control among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries: an updated review
Endokrynol Pol. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.5603/ep.99519. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a major public health concern, causing significant disability and death worldwide. Fuelled by a modern sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary practices, T2DM affects at least 10.5% of the world's population. This paper seeks to review the progress made by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) in addressing T2DM, focusing on glycaemic control proportions and comparing it with the 2015 review. The results indicate no signif...

A cross-sectional study of 131 female university students aged 17–27 reported their weight and height on a self-administere d questionnaire and on the same day had their height and weight measured. Body Mass Index (BMI) values of both self-reported and measured weight and height were calculated and categorized according to the World Health Organization’s cut-off points. Overall, 87% of students had a resultant self-rep orted BMI value within their actual BMI category. The mean differenc...
