“…High prevalence of BD in the middle east should urge the researchers to conduct more studies to highlight the geographical and cultural differences. Nevertheless, this was faced by low research activity 15 . As far as we know, the current study is the first to assess the characteristics of BD‐associated oral ulcers in Egypt.…”

Aim The current study assessed the clinical characteristics of patients suffering from Behcet's disease (BD)‐associated oral ulcers and investigated the effect of these oral ulcers on the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods This study included BD patients suffering from active oral ulcers, defined by the revised International Criteria for BD (ICBD) criteria. We collected BD and oral ulcers characteristics. The oral ulcer activity index and OHRQoL were measured by composite index (CI) and Oral Health Impact Profile‐14 (OHIP‐14), respectively. Results Genital and ocular manifestations were the most frequent. Ocular manifestations were the main diagnostic manifestation. The mean age of BD diagnosis and first oral ulcer appearance were 32.15 ± 8.96 and 29.62 ± 9.04, respectively. Minor oral ulcers were more frequent; solitary or multiple. CI revealed that pain was more severe than functional disability. OHIP‐14 showed that patients suffered more often from pain and difficulties in eating. Patients reported feeling tense, being irritable, doing usual job with difficulty, and having less satisfying life. Conclusion BD‐associated oral ulcers lead to poor quality of life. Female gender, multiple ulcers, and buccal mucosa were associated with more severe pain and functional disability as well as poorer quality of life.

BackgroundLittle is known about self-mutilation and suicide-related research in the Arab world. AimWe aim to quantify research activity related to suicide and self-mutilation, according to socio-economic factors, and assess inter-regional collaborations and trends of topics in the Arab world in the last 16 years. MethodsA search was conducted through the PubMed database to find articles related to suicide and self-mutilation, according to author affiliation in the 22 Arab countries between 2004 and 2019 (inclusive), and standardized according to mean population, suicide, and self-mutilation disability associated life years (DALY), and gross domestic product (GDP). VOS Viewer was used for keyword and organization co-occurrence analysis. ResultsOnly 0.61% of articles related to suicide and self-mutilation published between 2004 and 2019 were of Arab origin, compared to 1.76% in South America and 7.94% in Far East Asia. Suicide and self-mutilation articles make up 0.09% of the total publications in the Arab region. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon had the highest number of published articles related to suicide and self-mutilation. When comparing publications per million persons, Lebanon and Kuwait ranked first with 5.15 and 3.40 publications per million persons. Lebanon showed the highest number of publications per USD billion GDP, with 0.75 publications. The highest number of publications per 1% self-injury-related DALY was recorded in Saudi Arabia, with 46.97 publications. In recent years, VOS Viewer revealed poor inter-regional collaborations and a modest but increasing trend towards depression, poisoning, and cross-sectional studies. ConclusionDespite increasing publications, the region still lags in terms of suicide and self-mutilation research activity. A pan-Arab strategy should be implemented to refine suicide-related research and increase mental health awareness.

“…There are a few studies that perform bibliographic analysis on Behçet's disease. Masri et al [21] assessed the numerical contribution of the Arab world to research on Behçet's disease using the PubMed platform between 2005 and 2019, whereas Şenel et al [22] investigated productivity performances of 78 countries between 1980 and 2014, and finally Kocyiğit et al [23] evaluated Behçet articles only between 2010 and 2019. However, either an altmetric analysis was not performed, or only a country-based altmetric analysis was investigated in all these three articles.…”
