BACKGROUND Sleep disorders (SD) constitute a major health problem because of their relatively high and rising prevalence. Several studies have analyzed the knowledge of SD among healthcare providers worldwide. We aimed to assess the knowledge of SD among physicians in Qatar OBJECTIVE To assess the knowledge of sleep medicine among physicians working in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS Total of 250 physicians were surveyed regarding their knowledge in sleep medicine using a validated 30 item “ASKME Survey”. The participants included residents, fellows and consultants in medicine and allied subspecialties. A score ≥60% was considered a high score implying adequate knowledge of SD. RESULTS Response was received from 158 physicians with a responder rate of 63.2%. We analyzed the data from 34 residents, 74 clinical fellows and 50 consultants. The overall mean score was 15.53± 4.42 out of 30. Only 57 (36%) respondents were able to answer ≥60% of the questions correctly. There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of the participants with regard to their ranks (residents, fellows, consultants) or years of training CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that healthcare providers in Qatar have decreased awareness and knowledge about sleep medicine which may reflect a lesser emphasis during medical school and medical training on SD. Increasing awareness regarding sleep medicine among non-specialist physicians will allow early detection and treatment of SD, improving the morbidity attached with these disorders CLINICALTRIAL The research was approved by the Institutional review board MRC-01-18-022

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between sleep patterns and behavioral difficulties in children with ASD using sleep disturbance treatments. Methods: We selected a total 41 children with sleep disorders as study population. The sleep services (behavioral sleep management techniques) were given by the child development center team of Dhaka Shishu Hospital comprising of physician , developmental therapist and psychologist. Children were split into eight groups and two gender divisions based on their age, and they were then studied over a period of 6 months . Sleep disorders were investigated both before and after intervention. Results: The results revealed that the children’s sleep dysfunction improved from before, with the lowest improvement percentage decreasing from 62.9 percent to 51.8 percent and the greatest improvement percentage increasing from 100 percent to 59.2 percent, whereas a sleep problem showed no change at all (sleepwalking). Conclusion: The study has tried and succeeded to an extent to intervene in the sleep dysfunction process of children with ASD in a tertiary care hospital. However, there is still much to learn about the clinical efficacy of these types of behavioral interventions in children with ASD who have sleep disruption.

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed.
