To assess and age stratify the types and frequencies of endometrial pathologies in Saudi women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) that underwent endometrial biopsies, at our hospital over a 13-year period. ⋯ Awareness of the probable spectrum of endometrial histopathologies in the various ages is useful in guiding management. Endometrial biopsies are valuable in early detection of precancerous and cancerous endometrial lesions especially in women over 40 years.

To highlight and correlate demographic and histopathological features of breast cancer along with prognostic and predictive biomarkers, in Saudi patients from the Eastern Province and compare it to a cohort of non-Saudi patients. ⋯ Although, the current findings might help future studies to identify variables that could lead to better management of breast cancer in this region; however, a wider investigation including other centers in the eastern province is needed.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of low flow anesthesia on hemodynamic and peripheral oxygenation parameters in obesity surgery.
To investigate the effects of low-flow anesthesia on hemodynamic parameters and recovery from anesthesia in obese individuals undergoing laparoscopic surgery. ⋯ Low-flow anesthesia in laparoscopic obesity surgery seems to be safer compared to high-flow anesthesia in terms of the adequacy of tissue perfusion, depth of anesthesia, and postoperative recovery.
