“…According to several studies, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness after cataracts, and patients usually seek medical help at an advanced stage of the disease. This could be due to a lack of knowledge regarding glaucoma and its symptoms, as well as the natural progression of the disease marked by late appearance of symptoms [ 13 ]. Moreover, an obvious gap in the literature is present concerning the issue in the Jazan region specifically.…”

Introduction Glaucoma can be considered a heterogeneous group of diseases with characteristic progressive optic neuropathy, which causes the development of visual field dysfunctions and irreversible blindness. Glaucoma is the most prevalent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Aim This study aimed to assess the awareness and knowledge of glaucoma and its associated risk factors among the adult population in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, in 2022. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 384 participants aged 40 years and above in the Jazan region. A convenience sampling technique was adopted to obtain the target sample size. Data were collected using a self-administered electronic questionnaire on Google Forms. Results A majority (73.1%) of the 387 respondents to the questionnaire were in the age group of 40-50 years, with the average age being 47.43 years. No statistically significant difference was found between different age groups' level of knowledge (p=0.769). In addition, the difference between levels of knowledge based on participants' residence was also statistically insignificant (p=0.387). Of the participants who were not diagnosed with glaucoma, 55% had poor knowledge of glaucoma; however, only 3.10% of the participants diagnosed with glaucoma had poor knowledge of the condition. Consequently, there was a statistically significant difference between participants' levels of knowledge based on their diagnosis of glaucoma (p=0.04). Conclusion The study revealed low knowledge and awareness levels regarding glaucoma among adults aged 40 years and above in the Jazan region.

Introduction: Hyperprolactinemia is one of the most common endocrine disorder and has been seen with variable levels in patients of thyroid disorders. We decided to determine the relationship between hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism. Material and Methods: A total of 160 subjects coming to General Medicine OPD for thyroid related problems were selected for the study and their serum T3,T4, TSH and Prolactin levels were assayed by enzyme linked fluorescent assay (ELFA) technique using Minividas auto analyzer from Biomeriuex, France. Results: TSH level was significantly higher n female as compared to males subject & there is a positive Correlation of serum TSH levels with prolactin Conclusion: In our study we have found that level of serum prolactin rises positively to the increasing TSH level in hypothyroid patients.

Objectives: The increasing elderly population, along with their health problems, is a matter of concern, especially in the difficult terrains of the hilly Himalayan region of northern India. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the healthcare-seeking behavior of the elderly and adherence to medication.Methods: The present community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 elderly participants by a consecutive sampling method. Data were collected during the months of July 2021 to October 2021 after obtaining institutional ethical clearance. Bivariate logistic regression was done to assess factors associated with healthcare services utilization patterns and adherence to medications in chronic diseases. Significant factors were then analyzed with a multivariate logistic regression model. Variables with p-value <0.05 on multivariate analysis were considered statistically significant.Results: The mean age of the study participants was 67.2 (±8.09) years, and 52% were males. Chronic illness was diagnosed in 45.6% participants. Only 121 (48.4%) participants were aware of health insurance schemes among whom 95 (38%) were registered. Appropriate healthcare-seeking behavior for acute illness episodes was seen in 68.9% of participants. A government healthcare facility was the most preferred facility. Low adherence to chronic disease medication was seen in 41.2%. Participants registered under any health insurance scheme had higher adherence to medications (OR=0.36; 95% CI, 0.15-0.86; p-value=0.02).Conclusions: The majority of the participants preferred government healthcare facilities. Registration under any health insurance scheme was found to significantly influence adherence to medications. Further qualitative studies can be of paramount importance in understanding the perspectives of the geriatric population in the study area.
