Epidemiological Assessment of Hepatitis C Virus Seroprevalence Among Screened Populations in Arar City, Northern Saudi Arabia
The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection remains a significant global public health issue, despite advancements in prevention and treatment, highlighting the need for reliable local epidemiological data to support elimination strategies. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of HCV infection among individuals tested in Arar City, Northern Saudi Arabia. A descriptive cross-sectional study employed standard HCV screening records from public he…
Pharmacology and the Nursing Role in Combating Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotics represent one of the most significant breakthroughs in modern pharmacology, drastically reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases. Their discovery revolutionized medical practice, making once-deadly bacterial infections curable and preventable. From penicillin to broad-spectrum antimicrobials, their role has been central to public health advancements. However, the effectiveness of these drugs depends heavily…
The prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of tobacco and nicotine use among students in healthcare disciplines in Saudi Arabian universities
Background: Tobacco smoking is one of the most significant health-related problems worldwide. However, the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of tobacco and nicotine use among students on healthcare courses in Saudi Arabia are limited. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire that was distributed via SurveyMonkey between November 2022 and June 2023 to all student universities offering healthcare courses. Data are present…
Interdisciplinary approaches to the opioid crisis
Background: With disastrous effects on both individuals and communities, the opioid crisis continues to be a major public health concern. Widespread opiate abuse and overdose deaths have been exacerbated by fragmented care, inappropriate prescribing practices, and a lack of patient education. A multidisciplinary strategy that makes use of the distinct expertise of healthcare providers is necessary for effective pain management, especially in comp…

Lung Cancer
Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths annually. Despite declining incidence and mortality rates due to smoking reduction, significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes persist. Advances in targeted therapies and multidisciplinary approaches, including the roles of nursing, clinical pathology, and detailed documentation, are pivotal in improving pati…
A Framework and System Design for Medicines Resources Allocation
Utilizing resources effectively is becoming more critical, especially with the ever-increasing healthcare cost. Little is known about the current practices used by healthcare organizations for the procurement, allocation, and utilization of medical resources. Moreover, the available literature needed to be enriched to bridge the link between resource utilization and allocation processes' performance and outcomes. This study investigated the proce…
The associations between cigarette smoking behavior and the use of heated tobacco products among Arab cigarette smokers
As the availability of tobacco forms has evolved, emerging products known as heated tobacco products (HTPs) are increasingly being consumed worldwide and are claimed to be less harmful than tobacco cigarette smoking. To date, it is unknown whether Arab cigarette smokers are using or susceptible to HTPs. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between cigarette smoking behavior and the use of and susceptibility to HTPs in the Eastern…
Substance Use and Misuse among Adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in the United States, 2015–2019
Adults with COPD in the United States were more likely to use tobacco products and less likely to use alcohol. In addition, serious psychological distress and gender were moderators in associations between COPD and substance use but not in substance misuse. Future studies should longitudinally assess the factors that may contribute to the initiation and progression of substance use and misuse among adults with COPD
Mental Health and the Association between Asthma and E-cigarette Use among Young Adults in The United States
Consistent with mediation, poorer mental health accounted for the higher prevalence of e-cigarette use among those with asthma. However, longitudinal studies are needed to interrogate causal relationships, including the effects of e-cigarette use on mental health. Mental health services may play an important role in improving health and wellbeing in this vulnerable population
Implementation of Cigarette Plain Packaging
This case points at a need for risk communication training, possible tobacco industry manipulation, and a need to gain consumer trust with evidence-based messaging techniques. The case of cigarette plain packaging adoption in Saudi Arabia serves as an example to other countries of potential consumer interaction, tobacco industry interference, and state official counter-reactions
Delphi consensus on research priorities in tobacco use and substance abuse in Saudi Arabia
This is the first study to develop research priorities in tobacco use and substance abuse in Saudi Arabia. Health personnel and community volunteers participated in a national internet survey using the Delphi method. In Round 1, 75 experts identified 33 research priorities. In Round 2, 47 experts divided those research priorities into five primary research categories. The panelists then scored both the categories and priorities. Preventive servic…
