The study was conductedin accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they met the following criteria: randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs, participants were children with ASD aged 3-18 years, SST interventions were delivered individually or in groups, and social skills were assessed using standardized measures. Effect sizes were calculated using Cohen's d, and meta-analyses were carried out using a random-effects model.Results: A total of 17 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The overall effect size for SST interventions was 0.28-0.60 (95% confidence interval: [0.23-0.41]), indicating a small to moderate effect. Social skills training interventions were effective in improving a range of social skills, including social communication, reciprocity, and joint attention.Conclusion: Social skills training interventions demonstrate modest to moderate effectiveness in improving social skills in children with ASD, with outcomes varying depending on intervention type, participant characteristics, and implementation fidelity. While SST interventions offer potential benefits, they should be considered as one component of a broader, individualized treatment plan for children with ASD, rather than a standalone solution.PROSPERO No. ID: CRD42024578682.","PeriodicalId":21453,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Medical Journal","volume":"46 3","pages":"226-237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11918677/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143650136","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}

Brain total choline (tCho) levels were estimated using MRS single volume sequence at a 3 Tesla field, with an echo time of 30 ms, repetition time of 2000 ms, voxel size of 15x15x15 mm, and water suppression bandwidth of 50 Hz. Participants' food consumption habits were assessed using a dietary questionnaire to quantify the amount of protein in their daily servings, as protein intake affects Cho levels in the brain.Results: Linear regression test applied using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, and the result showed significant impact of diet protein intake on the brain tCho level (p=0.000).Conclusion: The study's findings indicated that dietary choices significantly affect the levels of tCho in the brain. This research can serve as a baseline for health education, highlighting the close connection between dietary decisions and brain Cho levels. Understanding this relationship is essential for promoting a healthy lifestyle among younger generations.","PeriodicalId":21453,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Medical Journal","volume":"46 3","pages":"254-260"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11918667/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143650160","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}

Data collected included demographics, hearing loss types, anatomical findings from imaging, types of CI devices, procedural challenges, and complications.Results: The average age of the patients was 9 years (108 months) with 56.4% males and 96.2% Saudi nationals. Most patients (50.4%) were from Makkah, and 19.5% had a family history of hearing loss. Med-El implants were used in 63.9% of cases, and 37.6% had simultaneous bilateral implants. Intraoperative complications occurred in 7 (5.3%) patients, while 11 (8.3%) patients experienced postoperative complications. Follow-up adherence was high at 94%, with 18.8% of patients using telehealth services for monitoring.Conclusion: The CI program at KAMC has demonstrated to be a safe and effective approach for treating severe-to-profound hearing loss. Minor complications were observed, and follow-up adherence was strong. The study emphasizes the importance of ongoing accreditation and support for the program to ensure its success in hearing rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":21453,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Medical Journal","volume":"46 2","pages":"175-181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11822939/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143399841","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}
