The objective was to assess whether job insecurity and fear of litigation were correlates of depression, anxiety, and stress among expatriate nurses in Saudi Arabia. The participants included 977 expatriate nurses working in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia who completed an online survey that assessed depression, anxiety, and stress (using DASS-21) as well as demography, lifestyle, and job characteristics. Mean age was 32 years and 60% of nurses were from India/Pakistan. Twenty-four percent of nurses reported job insecurity, and 18% reported a fear of litigation. Severe depression, anxiety, and stress were significantly higher among nurses who always felt insecure about their job (compared to never) and among those who always feared litigation (compared to never). We concluded that job insecurity and fear of litigation were significant correlates of severe depression, anxiety, and stress among expatriate nurses.

The Health Belief Model Predicts Intention to Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine in Saudi Arabia: Results from a Cross-Sectional Survey

Ilias Mahmud, Russell Kabir, Muhammad Aziz Rahman, Angi Alradie-Mohamed, Divya Vinnakota, Abdulrahman Al-Mohaimeed

Summary: The study found that the intention to accept the COVID-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia is relatively low, with only a small proportion having a positive intent. Factors such as older age, being healthcare workers/professionals, receiving the flu vaccine, and the perception of COVID-19 severity were positively associated with vaccination intent. The individual's access to complete information and the prevalence of vaccine uptake among the public play important roles in the decision-making process.

Summary: This study found that honey total polyphenolic fraction (HTPF) has the potential to suppress inflammation in pancreatic islets of Langerhans through the regulation of miRNAs. The researchers also discovered that HTPF inhibits glucose-induced inflammation. These findings provide new insights for using HTPF in the treatment of glucose-induced pancreatic inflammation.

Summary: This study demonstrated that several gene polymorphisms, including ERCC2 rs13181, XRCC1 rs25487, and XRCC3 rs861539, are associated with susceptibility to lung cancer in the Saudi population. The study analyzed 134 lung cancer patients and 270 controls and found significant associations between these gene polymorphisms and squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma. Additionally, combined recessive genotypes were also found to be associated with lung cancer susceptibility.

Summary: MCM co-infection with COVID-19 is highly lethal in immunocompromised individuals, and the direct relationship between the two needs further exploration. This review aims to provide a comprehensive guide for the diagnosis and treatment of MCM patients with COVID-19 co-infection, emphasizing the association of co-infection with immune dysfunction and other risk factors.
