Demographic data and data regarding chronic diseases were collected. Crude prevalence and age group adjusted prevalence were calculated.Results: In total, 863,116 Arab and 3,674,863 Jewish people were included in the analysis. We found that 18.3% of the Arab population had a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and 28.8% had obesity compared to 17.5% and 22.5% in the Jewish population, P < 0.001, respectively. The prevalence of chronic heart failure, chronic ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents, hypertension, and myocardial infarction among Arabs was higher in all age groups compared to Jewish patients. Arab males had higher frequency rates of obesity and hemodialysis treatment compared to Jewish males. The proportion of women with diabetes mellitus, hemodialysis treatment, iron deficiency anemia, or obesity was greater among Arab females.Conclusions: Significant differences were found in the prevalence of chronic diseases among Arab and Jewish patients in Israel. Culturally relevant interventions are crucial for disease prevention, early diagnosis, and management of chronic diseases among different ethnic groups.","PeriodicalId":50268,"journal":{"name":"Israel Medical Association Journal","volume":"26 11","pages":"694-700"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment is surgical and includes wide local excision (WLE) or Mohs micrographic Surgery (MMS). There is no consensus regarding the preferred type of surgery.Objectives: To compare the outcomes of the two types of surgery (WLE and MMS).Methods: This retrospective cohort study was based on the medical records of 59 patients with DFSP treated at Sheba Medical Center (using the WLE method) or Assuta Medical Center (using the MMS method) between 1995 and 2018. The data included demographics, clinical presentations, imaging, types of wound closures, pathological margin status, surgical defect sizes, recurrences, and follow-up.Results: Of the 59 included patients, 18 (30.5%) underwent WLE and 41 (69.5%) underwent MMS. The mean age at diagnosis was 40.1 ± 14.4 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1.5:1. The main tumor location was the trunk (50% for WLE and 41.5% for MMS). The main type of closure for both procedures was primary closure. In 72.2% of WLE and 78.8% of MMS cases, the margins were free. The difference between the final surgical defect and the original tumor size was statistically significantly smaller in patients who underwent MMS. The median duration of follow-up was 6.6 years. There was no significant difference in the rate of recurrence.Conclusions: MMS enables better tissue preservation and results in a minor surgical defect compared to WLE, with no difference in tumor recurrence between the two methods.","PeriodicalId":50268,"journal":{"name":"Israel Medical Association Journal","volume":"26 11","pages":"682-687"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Worldwide prevalence varies between 5% and 50% depending on self-reported surveys, test-based studies, geographic location, and age. Despite the clinical relevance of AR in the Israeli population, few studies have characterized the sensitization profiles and key pollen aeroallergen.Objectives: To describe the most common aeroallergens eliciting a positive skin prick test (SPT) in AR patients across three different main climate zones in Israel.Methods: We evaluated SPT of aeroallergen sensitization in 1308 AR patients from three topographically and climatically different areas of Israel, describing humidity levels, temperature, and urbanization.Results: The overall prevalence of positive SPT among patients presenting with AR symptoms was 86%. Indoor aeroallergen sensitization was observed in 76% of patients. Monosensitization was noted in 20% of patients, and polysensitization was noted in 65%. Among the 1308 cases of AR, the top four aeroallergens were mites, olive tree pollen, grass pollen, and cat dander. The top aeroallergen in Israel's central district were mites (62%), olive tree pollen (36%), and grass pollen (30%). In the coastal plains, mites (92%), cat dander (36%), and olive tree pollen (33%) were most prevalent, and in the south mites (77%), olive tree pollen (30%), and grass pollens (26%) were most common.Conclusions: The top four aeroallergens eliciting a positive SPT were mites, olive tree pollen, grass pollen, and cat dander. Identification of a major aeroallergen can tailor the allergist's SPT panels and specify which aeroallergen should be used for immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":50268,"journal":{"name":"Israel Medical Association Journal","volume":"26 10","pages":"616-620"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142631833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
