The study included 21,105 adolescents aged 11-18 years. Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the association in each country. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize results across countries.Results: Overall, 17.9% of adolescents reported sleep deprivation. The pooled adjusted odds ratio for the association between cigarette smoking and sleep deprivation was 1.75 (95% CI: 1.56-1.96), indicating that adolescents who smoked cigarettes had 75% higher odds of experiencing sleep deprivation compared to non-smokers. This association was consistent across all 5 GCC countries, with low heterogeneity (I² = 18.1%).Conclusion: This study provides evidence of a significant positive association between sleep deprivation and cigarette smoking among adolescents in GCC countries. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive public health interventions promoting both smoking prevention and sleep health among adolescents in the region.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"30 2","pages":"117-123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977593/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women who were aged 18-50 years and diagnosed with MS by a neurologist and had a disease duration of at least one year were included. The questionnaire consisted of 7 sections designed to collect information on the respondents' sociodemographic characteristics; past and current medical history; pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and postpartum concerns; physical and psychological concerns about parenthood; and psychological and social support.Results: A total of 176 women were included in the final analysis. Fatigue was the most common MS symptom, reported by 85.2% of the respondents, and 58% of the respondents had concerns about their disease and medication having adverse effects on their pregnancy and fetal outcomes. We found a statistically significant association between the level of perceived social support and patient care during pregnancy and concerns that they would not be able to prepare food for their children (p=0.037, respectively).Conclusion: We have identified several significant concerns of Saudi women with MS related to various aspects of pregnancy, delivery, and fetal outcomes. These concerns may be linked to a lack of adequate knowledge on the subject. Thus, receiving appropriate counseling, information, and support could greatly benefit these women and result in a more positive and comfortable pregnancy and delivery experience.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"30 2","pages":"150-156"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977591/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143811882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An accelerometer positioned on the lower back at the umbilical level was used to measure participants' sway. After each task, participants rated the task's difficulty using the perceived difficulty scale.Results: (1) The cognitive tasks showed no significant effect on sway (p> 0.05). (2) A statistically significant effect was observed for the cognitive tasks on perceived difficulty scale rating.

Participants included patients over 18 years, of any gender, diagnosed with MS. A nonprobability convenience sampling technique was used, with questionnaires sent through MS organizations and channels.Results: Almost two-thirds (66-68%) of the 375 respondents reported that their LTP had never been discussed during neurologist appointments and expressed uncertainty about it. Additionally, 23.5% noted discrepancies in information provided by different neurologists. Most (81.6%) expressed a desire for a prognostic tool at diagnosis. In this study, MS patients' desire to learn about a tool for assessing long-term prognosis was significantly associated with age, education level (p<0.001), and gender (p=0.02). A higher percentage of women (65.7%) showed interest in learning about the tool compared to men (34.3%).Conclusion: While more than half of pwMS are curious about their prognosis, only about one-third have optimal discussions about LTP with neurologists.

A thunderclap headache, a severe and sudden onset headache, often signals a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3), recommends a diagnostic approach for TCH, including computed tomography (CT), lumbar puncture (LP), vascular studies, and magnetic resonance imagining (MRI).Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult patients presenting with TCH, as defined by ICHD-3, from December 2018 to June 2023. Non-probability convenience sampling was used to select patients.Results: Of 377 initial records, 173 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 52.6 years, with males comprising 57.2%. Hypertension (39.9%) and diabetes mellitus (20.2%) were common comorbidities. Key clinical features included nausea/vomiting (41.0%) and loss of consciousness (27.7%). Compliance with ICHD-3 guidelines was 96.5%, with 99.3% undergoing CT within 6 hours. Most patients (91.3%) were diagnosed with hemorrhagic conditions, primarily SAH (85.5%), with a recovery rate of 89.2%. However, 8.1% of patients died, primarily due to complications like rebleeding and infection.Conclusion: High adherence to ICHD-3 guidelines in TCH management led to favorable outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of systematic evaluation. The study highlights the importance of timely intervention and suggests that demographic factors may not significantly influence TCH outcomes. Further research should explore guideline adherence in varied settings.","PeriodicalId":19284,"journal":{"name":"Neurosciences","volume":"30 2","pages":"131-137"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a case study of a 45-year-old non-alcoholic female who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy presenting with progressive worsening weakness of her lower limbs and slurred speech. Her condition continued to deteriorate, and she became mute and bedbound. The MRI revealed distinctive characteristics consistent with MBD. The diagnosis was confirmed following the exclusion of all other possible diagnoses. She was treated with multivitamins and had a significant improvement. Additionally, we conduct a review of similar cases of this condition occurring after bariatric surgery.
