Abstract	Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare condition with an intrauterine pregnancy coexisting with extrauterine pregnancy. It is considered a rare condition, with an incidence of one in 30,000 spontaneous pregnancies. Because of its rarity, there are no international management guidelines. It is associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Heterotopic pregnancy is a challenging condition to diagnose because it can be missed due to the intrauterine pregnancy. The most common signs and symptoms to support and help us reach a diagnosis would be adnexal mass, abdominal pain, and enlarged uterus. In this case report, we aim to compare the clinical course and the outcome of intrauterine gestation while coexisting with scar pregnancy and the management options. This case report concerns a 34-year-old pregnant woman with a heterotopic pregnancy managed in Bahrain Defence Force Hospital.

Abstract	Introduction: This paper takes a detailed look at safety culture, different roles, and powers shared by managers, lessons from which can be applied in any form of management. It also focuses on the job of managers in enhancing safety standards in a health institution. The objective of this paper was to examine the managers' perception of patient safety culture. Methods: This study followed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The research procedure involved all middle-level managers in Aseer Central Hospital in Abha, Saudi Arabia ( Results: Most participants were Saudi nationals (73.1%) aged 31 to 40 years (44.2%). The managerial role practiced frequently was leadership (85%), but the least managerial role was the figurehead (23%). Mangers held positive attitudes toward patient safety culture with 100% positive replies. No significant association was found between sex, nationality, years of experience, and professions concerning patient safety. Additionally, the results indicated that most managers were willing to uphold a safe environment for their patients and ready to involve employees in decision-making strategies to motivate them. Conclusion: The managerial choices in Aseer Central Hospital are based on the culture and tradition of the community, which might negatively undermine the capability of other individuals handling the same office based on their educational backgrounds and competency. Such situations also may demoralize the employees, leading to poor employee performance Suboptimal achievement was exhibited primarily by middle-level healthcare managers of all six power types: resource allocator, negotiator, liaison, spokesperson, figurehead, and entrepreneur. Therefore, there is a pressing need to improve managers' attitudes toward patient safety and activate managerial roles to ensure patients' safety is practiced unequivocally.

Global Journal on Quality and Safety in Healthcare, Pp 6-

2023 Volume 14

Abstract	Introduction: This paper takes a detailed look at safety culture, different roles, and powers shared by managers, lessons from which can be applied in any form of management. It also focuses on the job of managers in enhancing safety standards in a health institution. The objective of this paper was to examine the managers’ perception of patient safety culture. Methods: This study followed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The research procedure involved all middle-level managers in Aseer Central Hospital in Abha, Saudi Arabia (N = 52). To assess the status of patient safety culture and the role of healthcare managers in the field study, the researchers constructed a study questionnaire; it included questions adapted and modified from the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire, the 10 Mintzberg managerial roles and the six types of power for healthcare managers. Results: Most participants were Saudi nationals (73.1%) aged 31 to 40 years (44.2%). The managerial role practiced frequently was leadership (85%), but the least managerial role was the figurehead (23%). Mangers held positive attitudes toward patient safety culture with 100% positive replies.

Abstract	Objective: To assess the predictive ability of the laboratory risk indicator for necrotising fasciitis (LRINEC) score for lower extremity amputation in patients with moderate to severe diabetic foot infection (DFI). Study design: Observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of General Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from June to September 2023. Methodology: Patients admitted to the surgical ward with moderate to severe DFI were included by convenience sampling. Patients with severe sepsis, unstable haemodynamics, pressure injuries, and terminal illnesses were excluded. Demographic and clinical data of patients were noted down. LRINEC score was calculated on the day of admission. Final outcome (amputation or otherwise) was recorded on the 30th day the since the day of admission. Results: Two hundred patients with moderate to severe DFI were included. The median age of patients was 56 years (IQR 49-66 years). The median duration of diabetes was 11 years (IQR 4 - 18.75 years). The median LRINEC score at admission was 6 (IQR 3-9). The majority of the patients (65.5%) had some other medical comorbid besides diabetes. Patients who had amputation due to DFI at 30 days post-admission had higher LRINEC scores on admission as compared to those patients who did not have amputation (Median 8 vs. 2, p <0.001). The cut-off point of LRINEC score ≥6.5 at admission had sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 94% in predicting amputation. Conclusion: The LRINEC score may be used as an objective scoring system to predict the risk of amputation in patients with moderate to severe DFI in indoor clinical settings. Key words: Diabetic foot, LRINEC score, Limb loss, Necrotising fasciitis.

Abstract	The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to be among the first attempts to validate linguistic analysis as a method of creativity assessment and second, to differentiate between individuals in varying scientific and artistic creativity levels using personality language patterns. Creativity is most commonly assessed through methods such as questionnaires and specific tasks, the validity of which can be weakened by scorer or experimenter error, subjective and response biases, and self-knowledge constraints. Linguistic analysis may provide researchers with an automatic, objective method of assessing creativity, and free from human error and bias. The current study used 419 creativity text samples from a wide range of creative individuals mostly in science (and some in the arts and humanities) to investigate whether linguistic analysis can, in fact, distinguish between creativity levels and creativity domains using creativity dictionaries and personality dimension language patterns, from the linguistic inquiry and word count (LIWC) text analysis program. Creative individuals tended to use more words on the creativity keyword dictionaries as well as more introversion and openness to experience language pattern words than less creative individuals. Regarding creativity domains, eminent scientists used fewer introversion, and openness to experience language pattern words than eminent artists. Text analysis through LIWC was able to partially distinguish between the three creativity levels, in some cases, and the two creativity domains (science and art). These findings lend support to the use of linguistic analysis as a partially valid assessment of scientific and artistic creative achievement.

Abstract	The Hoffa fracture is an uncommon fracture. There is a lot of confusion about its diagnosis and management with several conflicting reports in literature. We reported a 25-year-old patient with non-union of Hoffa fracture, and meanwhile tried to develop an algorithm-based treatment for Hoffa fractures. A systematic review of the available literature was performed. Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and PubMed were searched for relevant articles. Fifty-five articles were reviewed, and the clinical knowledge base was summarized. The understanding of the mechanism of trauma has become more nuanced. The literature has also evolved to classify the fracture with the purpose of surgical management in mind. This can be used to plan approach and fixation with preservation of blood supply. Classification can also prognosticate the outcomes in Hoffa fracture.

Abstract	The critical design parameter when sizing a separator is the size of oil droplets in the water phase. This study improves the design of a separator by investigating the parameters that control droplet size, frequency, and distribution.Experimental work was performed to investigate the effect of flow rates and oil layer thickness on these parameters. Experiments were performed using a transparent laboratory separator to allow the measurement of droplet properties. The Design of the Experiment (DOE) method with the Taguchi analysis was applied to investigate statistically if droplet properties are solely a function of the independent variables or if they interact.The findings show that the results can be modelled using Gaussian distributions. Droplet size distribution and the number of droplets produced are functions of the interaction between oil flow rate and oil pad thickness. The oil flow rate dominates the droplet size though layer thickness has a minor effect. The number of droplets (Frequency) increases with both oil and water flow rates but decreases with oil pad thickness. There are clear interactions between all variables resulting in different droplet frequencies for combined effects. The distribution of the droplet sizes is controlled by oil layer thickness, where the spread is seen to rise with thickness. However, interactions between the fluid flows and oil pad thickness give rise to different droplet distributions if either variable were changed on its own.

Abstract	Several studies have summarized the biomedical publications in Arab countries. However, the quantity of health-related article publications from universities in recent years in Saudi Arabia is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis that showcases the quantitative health-related article publications output from universities in Saudi Arabia between 2008 and 2017. An extensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed database. The search was limited to original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published in the English language reporting on humans from medicine and health sciences colleges by researchers affiliated with any university in Saudi Arabia between January 2008 and December 2017. A total of 3172 articles were found published between January 2008 and December 2017. The number of publication output increased significantly (

Abstract	Background: Automobile exhaust is an important cause of air pollution, which is a leading health menace and is growing perpetually. Traffic police personnel are exposed to automobile exhaust more than anyone else, and the resulting lung involvement may be asymptomatic. Materials and methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted among 136 traffic police personnel, aged 18-59 years, working for more than 6 months in the traffic police of Kashmir valley. In addition, 140 age- and sex-matched, healthy unexposed Kashmiri's served as controls. Pulmonary functions were measured by RMS Helios 401 PC based spirometer. Results: Sixteen (11.2%) out of 136 traffic police personnel had abnormal pulmonary function test (PFT) as compared to 5 (3.6%) out of 140 controls. Traffic police personnel's had significantly declined forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1) and forced vital capacity. Eight (5.8%) had obstructive, 7 (5.1%) had restrictive, and 1 (0.7%) traffic police personnel had mixed pattern on PFT. Duration of exposure to automobile exhaust of more than 10 years was significantly associated with pulmonary function abnormality (P = 0.038). Conclusion: Air pollution due to automobile exhaust may be the factor responsible for pulmonary function abnormalities in traffic police personnel. Besides protective measures during duty hours, traffic police personnel should be subjected to periodic assessment of their lung functions.
