Background: The goal of this study was to translate the Harris Hip (HHS) questionnaire into the Arabic language with cross-cultural adaptation to include and benefit Arabic speaking communities as it is the most widely used instrument for disease-specific hip joint evaluation and measurement of total hip arthroplasty outcome. Methods: This questionnaire was translated following A clear and user-friendly guideline protocol. The Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the reliability and internal consistency of the items of HHS. Additionally, The constructive validity of HHS was evaluated against the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF 36). Results: A total of 100 participants were included in this study, of which 30 participants were re-evaluated for reliability testing. Cronbach’s alpha of the total score of Arabic HHS is 0.528 and after the standardization, it changed to 0.742 which is within the recommended range (0.7-0.9). Lastly, The correlation between HHS and SF 36 was r=0.71 (p<0.001) which represents a strong correlation between Arabic HHS and SF-36. Conclusion: Based on the results, we believe that the Arabic HHS can be used by clinicians, researchers, and patients to evaluate and report hip pathologies and total hip arthroplasty treatment efficacy.

This narrative review aims to discuss different modalities for obtaining diagnostic orbital biopsies, compares the available updated methods, and provides recommendations on the choice of technique. It also highlights special precautions in the handling of orbital specimens from various pathologies. A search was performed in PubMed and Google Scholar with no language or study type restriction. The keywords orbital biopsy, core biopsy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy, and orbit were used, and titles and abstracts were screened for relevance.

Objectives: Our objectives are to estimate the prevalence of self-esteem and imposter syndrome, to compare their prevalence between genders and different academic years, and to determine their associated factors among King Saud University (KSU) medical students. Methods: Our study is a quantitative analytical cross-sectional study. Data were collected on the KSU campus. Participants in this research are KSU medical students including males and females from 1st to 5th year, with a sample size of 502. A stratified random sampling design was used. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire that includes the Young imposter scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and sociodemographic factors. Results: The prevalence of low self-esteem and positive imposter syndrome is 23.6% and 42.1% (n = 573), respectively. There is a positive correlation between low self-esteem and positive imposter syndrome. There is a significant association between self-esteem and gender, mother's education, and Grade Point Average (GPA). Imposter syndrome is significantly associated with gender. Conclusion: Low self-esteem and positive imposter syndrome are prevalent among medical students, especially in the first few years and particularly in female students. These issues affect the mental health of medical students and thus need to be addressed to possibly improve the educational system.
