Pain is a major public health issue throughout the world and represents a major clinical, social, and economic problem. The inability of intensive-care unit (ICU) patients to report pain because of mechanical ventilation, concomitant use of sedatives, or as a consequence of loss of consciousness should not preclude pain control. Acute pain has emerged as a leading stressor for ICU patients.
Managing pain in ICUs may seem daunting due to the patients’ serious and often unstable health status, healthcare providers’ lack of awareness regarding pain’s impact on overall health status, coupled with the physical care demands within the critical care environment

IV-tPA is the main thrombolytic agent used to treat acute ischemic stroke, but less than 23% of the patients coming to the ER are eligible to receive it and this is mainly related to the short time window for it which is 4.5 hours only.
In the last few years, many trials tried to extend the time window to increase the number of patients receiving and benefiting from it, and the latest European stroke recommendations did extend the time window to 9 hours.
We will discuss the trials that addressed this issue and review the latest guidelines regarding the tPA window.

Clostridioides Difficile is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming, toxin-producing, bacteria that causes inflammation in the colon resulting in diarrhea, as well as other gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain. Multiple risk factors can predispose to this infection. The selection of the treatment regimen depends on the severity of the disease, which is classified based on certain laboratory parameters. The infection can be potentially prevented by using antibiotic prophylaxis.

In preparation for Pediatric Research day the Pediatric scientific board present Effective presentation in research

The aim of this lecture to increase the ability to make powerful and effective oral/ poster presentations of research at medical meeting

It is an important course for all medical staff (Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics and Medical student).
The importance of this course is due to the huge numbers of trauma cases in our countries more marked with Road Traffic Accidents.
It is essential to learn how to deal with trauma cases because of the high rate of trauma cases in Emergency Department.

An introductory concise clinically-oriented review of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology for residents who wish to prepare themselves for the first part exam of their boards, and promotional exams. These lectures will be presented by a physician who has a PhD in neurosciences and 14-years experience in teaching medical students and residents in psychiatry and forensic medicine, and can understand very well your needs from the basic sciences in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology in your daily clinical practice. The lectures will definitely change your perspective on basic sciences when you were a medical student (poorly prepared, sleep-inducing and overwhelmed lectures full of non-clinically related information!). Join us in this upcoming free course to learn more about neuroscience implications in clinical settings.


After this introductory course, the participants should be able to understand deeply, yet easily,
the basis of many clinical questions such as:
- Why positive Babinski sign occurs in upper motor neurons lesions (UMNL)? Why it is normal in
children below the age of 1-year?
- Why patients with UMNL have hypertonia (spasticity)?
- Why the flexed upper limb response to pain have a higher score than extended response in
Glasgow coma scale?
- Why patients with stroke usually have a flexed upper limb?
- What is the difference between spasticity and rigidity?
- Why there are two types of rigidity?
- Why patients with diabetic patients lose their sense of vibration in the early stages of diabetic
neuropathy, followed by loss of touch and pressure?
- What is extrapyramidal system? What it is called Extrapyramidal? What is pyramidal system?
- How can you explain the symptoms of cerebral palsy?

Stay tuned to part 2 which will be talking in more detail about neuroscience.

Hypertension is the most common medical problem encountered during pregnancy. High blood pressure has a negative impact on the mother and the foetus, which is why early diagnosis and proper control are mandatory to avoid complications. The goal of the session is to support and guide OB-GYN physicians in acquiring the knowledge and clinical acumen required to provide outstanding management and care for patients.

Fatty liver is the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and within liver cells (hepatocytes). It develops when the percentage of this fat deposition exceeds 5% of liver tissue weight. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease with a fast-growing prevalence in Saudi Arabia that parallels obesity and diabetes. NAFLD ranges from simple hepatic steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Most patients experience no symptoms that aggravate the progression of this disease. There is no approved treatment for NAFLD,however, it is important to control the risk factors, including high blood cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Also, lifestyle modification and excellent control of co-morbid metabolic illness are urgently needed to prevent the disease progression.
