AbstractWe report on the genetic identity of 36 Echinococcus cysts that were collected during a recent slaughterhouse survey of 810 locally bred camels (dromedaries) in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Analysis of a partial nad1 gene sequence showed that the majority (n = 29) belonged to E. granulosus sensu stricto, four to E. canadensis G6/7, and three to E. ortleppi. Eight of the 29 E. granulosus s.s. cysts contained protoscoleces; all other cysts were calcified and non-viable. This is the first report of the presence E. ortleppi from the Arabian Peninsula, a parasite that is typically transmitted via cattle. The results indicate widespread infection of camels with CE in eastern Saudi Arabia and an active role of camels in the lifecycles of at least E. granulosus s.s.. Complete cox1 haplotype analysis of 21 E. granulosus s.s. isolates shows that the majority of variants circulating in eastern Saudi Arabia is distinct from but closely related to haplotypes from neighboring countries in the Middle East, which indicates the presence of this parasite in KSA for a longer period of time. All isolates of E. granulosus s.s. in this study belonged to the G1 cluster, although the G3 genotype has previously also been reported from the Middle East.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is growing into an economic power in the Middle East. However, small- and medium-sized business establishments continue to struggle to break the local market. The challenges faced by the businesses result from the lack of adequate information, poor technological infrastructure, untrained human resource personnel, and consumer behaviors. Entrepreneurial marketing provides an adequate means through which business organizations in Saudi Arabia can build a competitive advantage and penetrate the market more efficiently and effectively. The approach enables value creation, resource manipulation/utilization, opportunity focus, innovation, risk-taking, customer intensity, and proactive practices, allowing businesses to become competitive. The study evaluates the connection between competitive advantage and entrepreneurial marketing, informing business stakeholders and policymakers on the best marketing practices to ensure the success and sustainability of small- and medium-sized firms in Saudi Arabia. The study employed the qualitative approach to facilitate data gathering. The study involved fourteen participants recruited from a WhatsApp group and interviewed over the phone. The study findings established differences from sector to sector in terms of marketing opinions and skill. The subjects identified value creation, resource manipulation/utilization, opportunity focus, innovation, customer intensity, and proactive practices to be critical to building a competitive advantage, with risk-taking considered insignificant. Given the source of challenges facing small and medium organizations in Saudi Arabia, there is a need to ensure education and access to information for SME stakeholders. Similarly, the Saudi government needs to put in place adequate technology infrastructure to facilitate the growth and development of the businesses.

Background: Pharmacists' traditional position as drug dispensers has recently developed into a more active role in risk evaluation and management. Dispensing is often handled by pharmacy technicians in Saudi Arabia because pharmacists are so preoccupied with their managerial and administrative responsibilities. Pharmacists' meetings with patients are limited to medication dosage and frequency, as well as rare adverse effects and drug interactions. Methods: We conducted a quantitative questionnaire study in Saudi Arabia to look into the role of hospital pharmacists in patient counseling, the assessment of pharmacists' patient counseling opinions, and the possible determinants of personal consultation. Results: The number of patient inquiries was found to be very low, ranging from 5 to 20 per month. The amount of private pharmaceutical consultations was also poor. This finding showed that people trust pharmacists. Conclusion: Reorganizing the pharmacist's operations will help to enhance pharmaceutical consultations. This will help patients make better decisions about their medications and improve their quality of life.
