| population | Saudi Arabia | “METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was performed in the neurology department of King Fahd hospital of university, Saudi Arabia. Intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) most significantly provoked FSWDs in 07 patient (P =0.01) and GSWDs in 30 patients (P=<0.001) 7 patients (P = 0.01) and GSWDs in 30 patients (P < 0.001).” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “METHODS: This study was conducted between March 2008 and April 2011 at the preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Laboratory, Saad Specialist Hospital, Al-Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: We report 7 families that underwent 7 PGD cycles with HLA typing and direct HLA loci-typing using an HLA conventional commercial kit.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Marked regional variations in the prevalence of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia in Saudi Arabia: findings from the premarital screening and genetic counseling program. BACKGROUND: Hemoglobinopathies represent a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia (SA). This represented 0.06% of the entire population of Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of couples who tested positive for sickle cell was 45.1 (42.4 for carriers and 2.7 for cases) per 1000 persons examined.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Human metapneumovirus and human coronavirus infection and pathogenicity in Saudi children hospitalized with acute respiratory illness. The prevalence of these viruses has not been reported from Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: Both viruses were found among Saudi children with upper and lower respiratory tract diseases during the autumn and winter of 2007 and 2008, contributing to 11.1% of all viral diagnoses, with individual incidences of 8.3% (hMPV) and 2.8% (HCoV-NL63) among 489 specimens. Clinical findings of respiratory failure and culture-negative shock were established in 7 children infected with hMPV and having hematologic malignancies, myelofibrosis, Gaucher disease, and congenital immunodeficiency; 2 of the 7 patients died with acute respiratory failure. CONCLUSION: hMPV and HCoV-NL63 are important causes of acute respiratory illness among hospitalized Saudi children. hMPV infection in the lower respiratory tract is associated with morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised children.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “The autosomal recessive form of primary congenital glaucoma (gene symbol GLC3) has been recently mapped to two different loci, GLC3A (at 2p21), and GLC3B (at 1p36), respectively, on families of Turkish and Saudi Arabian provenance. We performed a standard linkage analysis on a sample of 7 Slovak Gypsy families comprising 18 affected members, and found significant linkage with four STR markers from the chromosomal region of 2p21 (D2S1788, D2S1346, D2S2328, and D2S1356), without heterogeneity.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
