- Abstract
Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a prevalent and preventable health issue globally. This study aims to evaluate the symptoms, knowledge, beliefs, and preventive practices regarding NIHL among the general population of the southern region of Saudi Arabia., Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2024, using a self-administered, validated electronic questionnaire distributed in Arabic via social media platforms. The questionnaire assessed socio-demographic data, NIHL awareness, attitudes toward prevention, and personal practices regarding noise exposure. The sample included 400 participants analyzed using SPSS version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), with associations measured through the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests., Results: Most participants were Saudi nationals (97%) and females (81.3%). Symptoms of NIHL, such as tinnitus and the need to increase TV or radio volume, were prevalent among participants. Most participants (88.5%) were aware that high sound levels affect hearing, yet only 9.5% correctly identified the minimum duration of exposure that could harm hearing. Social media was the primary source of information (51.3%). Positive preventive practices were noted, with 66% lowering device volumes and 55.3% recommending sound restrictions on tablets. Significant associations were found between better preventive practices and higher income as well as marital status., Conclusion: The study highlights the high basic awareness of NIHL but identifies critical knowledge gaps regarding the minimum sound level and duration that affect hearing negatively. Enhanced public health education and technological interventions are needed to improve prevention practices. Future research should include longitudinal studies and diverse populations to better understand and address NIHL., Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study. Institutional Research Board of Al Baha University issued approval REC/SUR/BU-FM/2024/70. Animal subjects: All authors have confirmed that this study did not involve animal subjects or tissue. Conflicts of interest: In compliance with the ICMJE uniform disclosure form, all authors declare the following: Payment/services info: All authors have declared that no financial support was received from any organization for the submitted work. Financial relationships: All authors have declared that they have no financial relationships at present or within the previous three years with any organizations that might have an interest in the submitted work.

- Abstract
Introduction Ear, nose, and throat (ENT), often known as otorhinolaryngology (ORL), is a subspecialty within medicine that specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the head, neck, and ears. Understanding ORL is essential for treating common ENT issues, avoiding complications, and preserving quality of life. These diseases can affect numerous physiological processes, including taste, smell, speaking, breathing, swallowing, hearing, and secretion clearance. In order to guide interventions for improved ENT health, our study sought to evaluate university students' degree of ORL-related knowledge. Methodology It is a cross-sectional study conducted among students at King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia. Validated surveys are used to collect data via the Internet, including online and email-based data collecting. Data are cleaned in Excel and analyzed by IBM SPSS (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results Our study included 131 Saudi university students in Abha City, revealing significant knowledge gaps and misconceptions regarding ENT issues. Despite high awareness of certain topics like flu vaccination (87.8%) and the association between hearing loss and social life (95.4%), misconceptions persisted, such as the belief in vitamin C's efficacy against influenza (51.9%). Notably, 47.3% displayed good knowledge, 26.7% showed moderate knowledge, and 26% demonstrated poor knowledge about ENT issues. Significant associations were found between knowledge levels and age (p<0.001), academic level (p<0.001), and previous surgery related to ENT issues (p=0.014). Conclusion Our study revealed that 47.3% of participants have good levels of knowledge regarding ENT problems, with significant associations found with age, academic level, previous ENT surgery, and diagnoses of throat issues. Education campaigns should target specific demographics to improve the overall understanding of ENT health., Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study. Institutional Research Board of King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia issued approval ECM#2024-1405. Animal subjects: All authors have confirmed that this study did not involve animal subjects or tissue. Conflicts of interest: In compliance with the ICMJE uniform disclosure form, all authors declare the following: Payment/services info: All authors have declared that no financial support was received from any organization for the submitted work. Financial relationships: All authors have declared that they have no financial relationships at present or within the previous three years with any organizations that might have an interest in the submitted work. Other relationships: All authors have declared that there are no other relationships or activities that could appear to have influenced the submitted work., (Copyright © 2024, Al Sulaiman et al.) more...

- Abstract
Background Thyroid cancer incidence has been increasing worldwide over the last few decades. It is the most common endocrine cancer and is most common among females. The study contributes to filling the knowledge gap among Saudi people regarding thyroid cancer. Objectives This research aims to investigate the level of thyroid cancer knowledge and awareness in Saudi Arabia, identify potential knowledge gaps, and develop targeted strategies for enhancing public awareness and education. Methods A cross-sectional, voluntary online survey was conducted from 1st August 2023 to 1st October 2023 among residents living in Saudi Arabia over 18 years of age. The participants included were 2030 respondents. Data analysis was performed using RStudio (R version 4.3.0; R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). Results Among the participants, the majority were female (60.4%). A total of 49.7% of the individuals reported having a moderate to high level of knowledge about thyroid cancer. While 63.9% knew the association of a lump in the neck to thyroid cancer, 82.6% affirmed to consult a doctor upon discovering a lump, 72.1% knew that regular monitoring of neck lumps is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of precancerous conditions, 38.7% were aware of females being prone to thyroid cancer, and 59.2% were aware of the link between lifestyle and increased risk. Higher awareness scores were positively associated with female gender, previously having thyroid function tests done, and previously undergoing a US scan of the thyroid. Conclusion In this study, Saudi individuals are reported to lack some aspects of knowledge and perception of thyroid cancer. This study emphasizes filling the existing knowledge gap in thyroid cancer awareness in the Saudi population., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2023, Qusty et al.) more...
