International Journal of ADVANCED AND APPLIED SCIENCES

Pregnancy and physiological and psychological variations can impact mental and emotional changes ... more Pregnancy and physiological and psychological variations can impact mental and emotional changes and thereby trigger depression and anxiety in expectant mothers. Being overly concerned about an individual’s financial, social, and health issues can promote depression and anxiety among pregnant women. Managing those associated factors during and after pregnancy is crucial. Although several studies reported depression and anxiety disorder in pregnant women, there are limited studies available in Saudi Arabia. Thus, this study measured the prevalence of both depression and anxiety among pregnant women in Al-Madinah Al-Muawarah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 250 surveys were conducted from five primary care centers randomly. A simple stratified sampling technique was used. General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used as research instruments for data collection. Of the seven items from GAD-7, the higher rate related to the response “not at all” for the ...

[4] Breast cancer is detected more often in younger females and at a more advanced stage when compared with females of other life stages. [5] In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, breast cancer usually presents at advanced stages and more frequently in young pre-menopausal women in comparison to the Western countries. [6] Early detection of breast cancer can be achieved through breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE) and mammography. [7] Delayed breast cancer diagnosis in the developing countries is related to poor breast cancer awareness and barriers to healthcare services access. [8] Early detection is more likely to have a better prognosis and more successful treatment. [9] The etiology of breast cancer is complicated, and multiple factors are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer

Some of the most common nutritional deficiencies are iron, cobalamin, folate, and also other elements like copper. Anemia due to diet is mostly asymptomatic in the initial phase until the stores are depleted, which can take a few months to several years, depending upon the cause. Methodology: We conducted this review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE fromJanuary 1987 toMarch 2017. The following search terms were used: nutritional anemia, dietary anemia, iron deficiency anemia, cobalamin deficiency, folic acid deficiency anemia, dietary anemia treatment Aim of the work: In this study we aimed at understanding the different types of anemia caused as a result of dietary deficiency. We also briefly studied their presentation, pathophysiology, and treatment. Conclusion: Various causes of anemia, presentations, and complications associated with the different types of nutritional anemia, which is considered the easiest to treat and manage. Most cases are due to an underlying occult disorder rather than simple dietary insufficiency. Diagnosis can be more difficult in some cases, and require thorough history and investigations and integration to reach to an accurate conclusion and consequently treat the underlying cause.
