Systematic Literature Review: The Effects of Bullying on Students
Authors: Zahrani Yousef 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Bullying in all educational institutions is a significant public health problem. It is characterized by the intention to harm someone physically or emotionally. Bullying adversely affects students’ academic performance, mental and physical health, and social well-being. This was a systematic literature review. This systematic review aims to evaluate and synthesize the effects of bullying on students’ academic performance, physical health, mental health, and social outcomes. The PRISMA framework was used to guide the review process, and an inclusive search of the review included studies from PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and ERIC, published between January 2010 and January 2023. The search strategy used the combinations of keywords, including “bullying,” “students,” “effects,” “academic performance,” “mental health,” “physical health,” and “social outcomes.” Across databases identified 1250 articles, of which 74 met the eligibility Criteria Studies focusing on the effects of bullying on students were included if they were peer-reviewed, conducted in primary, secondary, or high school settings, and provided clear outcome measures related to bullying effects. Nonpeer-reviewed articles, studies without outcome measures, and non-English publications were excluded. A formal assessment of bias in the included studies was not conducted. A total of 74 studies were included, categorizing the effects of bullying into academic performance, physical health, mental health, and social outcomes. Victims of bullying exhibited decreased academic engagement, lower grades, increased absenteeism, and a higher risk of long-term academic underperformance. Physical health effects included somatic complaints such as headaches, stomach-aches, and chronic stress. Mental health effects were profound, with victims showing increased anxiety, depression, and a risk of posttraumatic stress disorder. Social outcomes included difficulties in forming relationships and social withdrawal. The evidence highlights the multidimensional impact of bullying across academic, physical, mental, and social domains. However, limitations included potential biases in self-reported data and a lack of representation from diverse cultural contexts.
Clinical Management and Outcomes of Primary Trigeminal Neuralgia in 75-year-old Male Patient: A Case Study
Authors: Assiri Khalil Ibrahim 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare neurological condition, with an annual incidence estimated at approximately 4–5 cases per 100,000 people. It predominantly affects individuals over the age of 50 years and is more common in women. The etiology of TN often involves compression of the trigeminal nerve by adjacent blood vessels, leading to demyelination and hyperactivity of nerve fibers. This vascular compression is associated with classical TN, which accounts for about 90% of cases. Secondary TN, on the other hand, is linked to identifiable conditions such as multiple sclerosis or tumors that impact the nerve, presenting more often in younger patients. This case report discusses a 75-year-old male patient who presented with episodic pain localized to the left maxillary branch (V2) of the trigeminal nerve. The pain was provoked by daily activities such as face washing and did not respond to nonspecific treatments. Following clinical evaluation and a brain magnetic resonance imaging that excluded secondary causes, a primary TN diagnosis was confirmed. The patient was treated with carbamazepine, starting at 200 mg BID, with titration leading to sustained relief of symptoms over subsequent months. This highlights the efficacy of appropriate pharmacological management.

Authors: Moalwi Adel , Satte Mahmoud Sheikh-Mohammed , Alhamami Salihah Ahmed , Alqahtani Mansour M. , Ali Ahmed Issam 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Previous studies have reported the incidence of the retro-renal colon (RRC) on abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans and have helped physicians avoid medical complications that may result from the presence of the colon posterior to the right and left kidneys during percutaneous renal procedures.

Aim:
This study aimed to determine the incidence and clinical correlation of RRC in Saudi Arabian patients.

Materials and Methods:
This descriptive observational study was conducted at a hospital between January 2020 and February 2024. We examined abdominal CT scans of patients with various conditions in the supine position. As described in a previous study, a horizontal line was drawn through the posterior boundary of each kidney if the colon went beyond the line; it was classified as an RRC.

Results:
A total of 384 patients (225 males and 159 females) who underwent abdominal CT for several medical reasons were included in the study. The ages of the patients vary between 11 and 110 years old, with a mean of 45.04 ± 19.51 years. Among 384 participants, 58 (15.1%) individuals had an RRC: 30 (3.1%) on the right side, 40 (10.9%) on the left side, and 5 (1.2%) more patients had bilateral RRC. The correlation between age and gender identity and whether a person has or does not have RRC was not significantly different (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Percutaneous surgery is a reliable method for the treatment of kidney diseases. Because of the position of the RRC, colon damage should be considered during percutaneous renal procedures.
Cervical Cancer and Human Papillomavirus Vaccine among Female in Asir Region of Saudi Arabia: Assessing Knowledge and Awareness
Authors: Alfayi Majed Saad 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Cervical cancer is a major health problem for women around the world, and it is caused mainly by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV vaccine can prevent this cancer, but how much women know about the disease and the vaccine is important for getting more people vaccinated.

Aims and Objectives:
This study aimed to look at the knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine among women in the Asir region of Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive, self-administered, cross-sectional online survey was conducted from 112 women aged 18–50 years in various cities of the Asir region. Ethical clearance was taken from the Research Ethics Committee at King Khalid University (ECM#2024-3108) prior to survey. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that covered demographics, knowledge of cervical cancer, preventive measures, and awareness of the HPV vaccine. Data were collected from September 01, 2024, to November 01, 2024. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.

Results:
A majority of respondents (55.4%) believed that cervical cancer was not an incurable disease, indicating a general optimism about treatment options and potential outcomes. However, the fact that 41.1% of respondents were unsure about its curability suggested a significant gap in knowledge that could lead to hesitance in pursuing treatment or preventative measures. Moreover, an overwhelming 95.5% of respondents correctly identified that cervical cancer was not contagious, reflecting a strong understanding of its noncommunicable nature. The data pointed to a critical deficiency in educational outreach, with 82.1% of respondents indicating that their schools did not provide education on HPV, its vaccinations, or methods of prevention.

Conclusions:
There is some optimism and understanding about the general nature of cervical cancer, but substantial gaps in knowledge remain, particularly concerning its curability and prevention. There is a clear need for targeted educational programs that focus on raising awareness about HPV, vaccination, and cervical cancer prevention. By improving education in schools and the broader community, as well as providing accessible information on treatment and prevention, public health initiatives can empower women to make informed decisions and ultimately reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in the region.
Efficacy of Headgear Compared with Pendulum Appliance in the Treatment of Malocclusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Aljearah Mohammed Mohsen 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Deciding between using pendulum appliance (PA) and headgear (HG) in patients with malocclusion (MA) is a critical one; it significantly influences treatment outcomes and patient experiences. This review explored the advantages and limitations of PA and HG in treating MA, providing valuable insights to both orthodontic professionals and patients in making informed treatment decisions. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on quantitative randomized and nonrandomized trials published between 2003 and 2015. The publications were retrieved from five electronic databases: Web of Science, Cochrane Central, PubMed, Embase, and Medline. The effectiveness of various treatment modalities in addressing MA was measured by analyzing changes in the following parameters: maxillary skeletal position (SNA), mandibular skeletal position (SNB), maxillomandibular relationship (ANB), vertical components (SN.GoGn), and soft tissue (nasolabial). The pooled results were calculated using a random effects model, and Egger’s regression and funnel plots were employed to determine publication bias. One randomized controlled trial (RCT) and five non-RCTs with a total of 304 patients were included. The pooled results revealed nonsignificant differences in SNA (mean difference ratio: −0.35, P = 0.24, I
2 = 84.58%), ANB (mean difference ratio: −0.37, P = 0.43, I
2 = 91.60%), SN.GoGn (mean difference ratio: −0.24, P = 0.11, I
2 = 0%), SNB (mean difference ratio: 0.10, P = 0.45, I
2 = 0%), and nasolabial angle (mean difference ratio: −0.06, P = 0.72, I
2 = 0%). The absence of significant differences between these treatment modalities’ impact on the measured parameters challenges conventional orthodontic knowledge and highlights the complexity of MA correction. This study underscores the importance of personalized treatment planning and emphasizes that the choice between HG and PA should be guided by individual patient needs, treatment goals, and the specific characteristics of their MA.

Abstract

Background:
Clinical conditions such as actinomycosis, midline lethal granulomatosis, and fulminant fungal infections are associated with severe mid-line orofacial tissue destruction. This study aims to present our experience in the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with the management of central orofacial destructive conditions.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis of the records of 15 patients managed for mid-line orofacial destructive conditions over a period of 3 years (June 2020–July 2023). Record of demographics, history, examination, investigations, treatment, and outcome were recorded and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25.

Results:
There were 10 (66.7%) males and 5 (33.3%) females in the age range of 14–62 years with a mean ± standard deviation of 34.53 ± 13.66 years. Anemia was present in 12 (80%) patients, and nine (60%) patients had normal total protein and albumin levels. Histopathological examination revealed chronic nonspecific inflammation in 14 (93.3%) patients. The majority of the patients nine (60%) were negative for fungal studies. All patients received intravenous antibiotics (ceftriaxone 1 g twice daily and metronidazole 500 mg 3 times daily) at presentation. Antifungal drugs (itraconazole 500 mg twice daily) were administered in six (40%) patients after positive microbiological studies. A total of eight (53.3%) patients recovered from the acute stage of the disease, four (26.7%) patients died during the course of management, and three (20%) patients absconded.

Conclusion:
Destructive midfacial conditions often present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Only eight (53.3%) of the patients in this study were diagnosed and successfully treated. Multidisciplinary approach could enhance early diagnosis and proper treatment of these conditions.

Abstract

Introduction:
Bleeding is the primary cause of preventable deaths in trauma cases, and the use of tourniquets greatly lowers mortality rates from extremity vascular injuries. This study seeks to evaluate the knowledge and preparedness of the general population in the Najran region of Saudi Arabia regarding bleeding control (BC), the factors influencing this, and their willingness to help trauma victims.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional was executed among those who were aged 18 years and above and resided in Najran, Saudi Arabia, excluding those who refused to participate in the study, health-care workers, and students in the medical field. Conveniently, we distributed an online Arabic self-administered questionnaire through different social media platforms. The minimum calculated sample size was 576. One-way analysis of variance and two sample t-tests were used to evaluate the determinants of BC awareness.

Results:
About 702 participated in the study, with 80% of males and a median age of 26 (interquartile range: 22–36). Approximately 73.1% had a fair knowledge of BC. Having first-aid training and using health-care-related posters in malls/health-care facilities were linked to higher knowledge scores (P < 0.05). Awareness of the leading cause of preventable death (postaccident bleeding) (P = 0.012) was positively associated with higher knowledge scores. Regarding the willingness to assist trauma sufferers, the majority (57%) were very likely to help. About 46% consider tourniquets safe. Participants with previous first-aid training and male gender were more likely to express a willingness to use tourniquets (P < 0.001). Perceived lack of sufficient training (25.9%), apprehension about making mistakes (16.67%), and the belief that others might possess greater qualifications (16.52%) were the barriers frequently cited in addressing medical emergencies.

Conclusion:
This study reveals a notable awareness gap in BC among the general population in the Najran region of Saudi Arabia. Factors such as first-aid training and exposure to health-care-related posters were linked to higher knowledge scores. There is a significant willingness to assist trauma victims. Gender disparity in willingness to use tourniquets suggests that targeted educational interventions are needed. Identified barriers, including perceived lack of training and fear of making mistakes, highlight areas for focused public health initiatives.

Índice de tendencia de sustentabilidad ambiental de una institución de educación superior del Conurbano Bonaerense
Authors: Faitani Norma Gabriela 
Published: December 2024

Todas las Instituciones de Educación superior del mundo aumentan sus esfuerzos por ambientalizar sus campus universitarios. Transformar sus actividades internas tiene como objetivo mejorar la calidad ambiental de los mismos y aumentar el impacto positivo en el entorno. Para ello, utilizan herramientas de evaluación de la sustentabilidad que se basan en la información proveniente de la gobernanza, operaciones, investigación y educación que se desarrolla en sus sistemas. Sin embargo, muchas universidades aún no pueden evaluar su desempeño ambiental por la falta de datos o por barreras relacionadas con la gobernanza institucional. Ante este problema, se desarrolló un Índice teórico y metodológico que permite evaluar la tendencia a la sustentabilidad de las instituciones de educación superior mediante indicadores de sustentabilidad. Este índice se aplicó a la Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento y se comparó su desempeño entre los años 2015 y 2022. Los resultados del Índice permiten reconocer que las áreas de investigación y de docencia, son las que más han contribuido a la sustentabilidad global de la institución y la tendencia es en crecimiento. Las áreas de gobernanza y operaciones si bien tienen a aumentar, lo hacen lentamente lo cual limita el crecimiento de las demás áreas asociadas al funcionamiento característico de una IES. Finalmente se reconoce a la Gobernanza institucional como el potenciador de la mejora ambiental de la IES, derivando la gran responsabilidad en la creación de la institucionalización de las actividades tendientes a la sustentabilidad ambiental y a la de crear una política ambiental que acompañe las acciones comprendidas desde la docencia, investigación y operaciones.
Abstract
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are increasingly focusing on greening their campuses to enhance environmental quality and their positive environmental impact. To achieve this, they use sustainability assessment tools that draw on data from governance, operations, research, and education. However, many universities face challenges in assessing their environmental performance due to data gaps or governance-related barriers. To address this issue, a theoretical and methodological index was developed to evaluate the sustainability trends of HEIs through sustainability indicators. This index was applied to Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, with a comparison of its performance between 2015 and 2022. Results show that research and teaching have made the largest contributions to the institution's sustainability, with a growing trend in these areas. In contrast, governance and operations have seen slower progress, limiting the overall sustainability of the institution. Institutional governance is identified as a key driver for environmental improvement, highlighting its crucial role in institutionalizing sustainability activities and developing an environmental policy to support initiatives in teaching, research, and operations.
