    Abstract Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is caused due to the presence of additional chromosome 21 in humans. DS can exist either as free trisomy 21 (nondisjunction), Robertsonian translocated DS, or as mosaic DS. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex condition with serious health implications for pediatric individuals with DS. OSA is common in DS, and when it is present, it appears to be extreme. Obesity and snoring are some of the OSA risk factors for children associated with DS and OSA. Adenotonsillectomy is one of the surgical protocols applied in children, which is useful in lowering the OSA in which obesity is commonly connected within normal and DS children. Tonsillectomy is the alternative procedure of surgery connected with postoperative respiratory complications, and adenotonsillectomy was found to be a safe surgical method in children and improves the quality of life. The main aim of this review is to bridge the gap between the role of OSA in normal children (46, XX/XY) and DS children (47, XX/XY+21) characterized by the presence of chromosomes and exactly what is the involvement with adenotonsillectomy and tonsillectomy when obesity is a risk factor. The treatment for OSA and obesity is rehabilitative and reversible; however, DS can be managed but not resolved because the disorder occurs from the existence of an extra chromosome during the failure of homologous chromosomal pairing separation during maternal meiosis I. This review concludes that there is a treatment for OSA and obesity and that DS children can be prevented from being obese or experiencing OSA but cannot be turned to normal chromosomes due to an extra trisomy 21. According to this review, children with DS and OSA/OSAS, as well as concomitant complications, can be treated.

    Abstract Introduction: Non-diabetic women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) often have abnormal insulin regulation. Calpain 10 (CALP10) is a biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus, with some of its single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influencing PCOS development.
    Methods: In this case-control study on 90 women each with and without PCOS, we explored the molecular role of five CALP10 SNPs using biochemical parameters and Sanger sequencing analyses.
    Results: Different genetic models, genotypes, and allele frequencies were significantly associated with UCSNP-19 (rs3842570; p=0.01), UCSNP-44 (rs2975760; p=0.009), UCSNP-56 (rs2975762; p<0.0001), and UCSNP-63 (rs5030952; p=0.0003) in women with PCOS. The multiple logistic regression model showed a strong association of CALP10 SNPs with fasting blood glucose (p<0.001). ANOVA showed significant associations with various biochemical parameters such as FSH (p=0.0001) in UCSNP-19 (rs3842570), FI (p=0.002), TG (p=0.01) in UCSNP-56 (rs2975762) and FBG (p=0.001), FI (p=0.004), FSH (p=0.02) & LDLc (p=0.04) in UCSNP-63 (rs5030952) SNPs. Haplotype analysis also revealed significant associations between different combinations of alleles in the studied 5 SNPs in women with PCOS (p<0.05). Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis showed the best gene-gene interactions among the five SNPs in CALP10I (p<0.05). However, dendrogram and graphical depletion models found no strong association in women with PCOS.
    Conclusion: In conclusion, this study confirms rs3842570, rs2975760, rs2975767, and rs5030952 SNPs in CALP10 gene is associated in diagnosed PCOS women in the Saudi Arabia.

    Abstract Background: Diabetes (hyperglycemia) is defined as a multifactorial metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance and defects in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction are two major pathophysiologic abnormalities that underpin towards gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
    Materials and methods: In this case-control study, 100 women with GDM and 100 healthy volunteers (non-GDM) were recruited. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by restriction fragment length analysis. Validation was performed using Sanger sequencing. Statistical analyses were performed using multiple software packages.

    Abstract This study used a conceptual model to examine the factors influencing physical, mental, and overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women and men aged 45 and older with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in Saudi Arabia. In this multicenter cross-sectional study, we randomly included 356 individuals aged 45 years or above with doctor-confirmed KOA from the orthopedic and physiotherapy departments of the 5 tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between March 2016 and March 2017. We split all participants into men (n = 146) and women (n = 210) based on gender. A conceptual model was developed using the HRQoL influential potential factors, such as age, sex, education, occupation, and way of eating (sociodemographic), and clinical factors, such as osteoarthritis knee and its severity, duration, pain, and body mass index. The 36-item short form health survey and its subscales of the physical composite scale and mental composite scale were used to evaluate overall HRQoL, physical, and mental health, respectively. We used unadjusted multiple linear regression analyses to investigate the associations between gender-specific potential factors and HRQoL outcomes. Women and men aged between 60 and 64 years were more strongly associated significantly with less physical composite scale score by -3.17, (standard error [SE] = 1.71, P = .021) and -3.18 (SE = 1.69, P = .023) respectively, followed by the primary school or less education by -3.40 (SE = 1.27, P = .0002), severe KOA of -8.94 (SE = 0.99, P < .001), eating on the floor bending the knee of -3.93 (SE = 1.63, P = .042), and pain of -2.39 (SE = 0.26, P < .0001). Women and men with primary school or less education significantly had low mental composite scale and 36-item short form health survey scores of -3.07 (SE = 1.22, P = .041) and -3.23 (SE = 0.99, P = .018), respectively, followed by severe KOA of -4.07 (SE = 1.22, P = .001) and -6.50 (SE = 0.83, P < .0001) and eating on the floor, extending the knee at -3.35 (SE = 1.74, P = .043). Risk factors like age, education, pain, body mass index, and severe KOA are linked to poor physical, mental, and overall HRQoL among women and men in Saudi Arabia.

    Abstract Background: Diabetes (hyperglycemia) is defined as a multifactorial metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance and defects in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction are two major pathophysiologic abnormalities that underpin towards gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). TCF7L2, KCNQ1, and KCNJ11 genes are connected to the mechanism of β-cell dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the genes associated with β-cell dysfunction and their genetic roles in the rs7903146, rs2237892, and rs5219 variants in Saudi women diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and GDM. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 100 women with GDM and 100 healthy volunteers (non-GDM) were recruited. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by restriction fragment length analysis. Validation was performed using Sanger sequencing. Statistical analyses were performed using multiple software packages. Results: Clinical studies showed a β-cell dysfunction positive association in women with GDM when compared to non-GDM women (p < 0.05). Both rs7903146 (CT vs. CC: OR-2.12 [95%CI: 1.13–3.96]; p = 0.01 & T vs. C: (OR-2.03 [95%CI: 1.32–3.11]; p = 0.001) and rs5219 SNPs (AG vs. AA: OR-3.37 [95%CI: 1.63–6.95]; p = 0.0006 & G vs. A: OR-3.03 [95%CI: 1.66–5.52]; p = 0.0001) showed a positive association with genotype and allele frequencies in women with GDM. ANOVA analysis confirmed that weight (p = 0.02), BMI (p = 0.01), and PPBG (p = 0.003) were associated with rs7903146 and BMI (p = 0.03) was associated with rs2237892 SNPs. Conclusions: This study confirms that the SNPs rs7903146 (TCF7L2) and rs5219 (KCNJ11) are strongly associated with GDM in the Saudi population. Future studies should address the limitations of this study.
