Stroke is a major cerebrovascular disease causes high mortality and morbidity in people around the world. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability. The largest country in the middle East, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), has been occupying approximately four-fifths of the Arabian Peninsula supporting a population of more than 28 million. Stroke is getting to be a quickly expanding issue and is the leading cause of illness and deaths in Saudi Arabia. It is clear that researches and studies regarding the incidence, prevalence and their sociodemographic properties of stroke is still incomplete due to lack of present studies being conducted in these specified areas. This article aims to discuss the aspect of stroke in Saudi Arabia beside the effects of modifiable and the non-modifiable risk factors from the literature published.

Low Incidence

1524 Background: Despite the relatively low incidence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) compared to Western countries, breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among Saudi females for the past 11 consecutive years (National Cancer Registry 1994–2004). The objective of this study is to report the results of the first public national BC screening program in KSA and to evaluate the relationship between imaging and pathological findings and known BC risk factors. Methods: Asymptomatic women 40 years of age or older underwent BC screening at Abdulatif Charitable Cancer Screening Center, Riyadh, KSA. Mammograms were scored using American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reports and Data System (BIRADS). Correlations between imaging findings and risk factors, as well as pathological findings, were analyzed. Results: A total of 1,215 women were enrolled between September 2007 and April 2008. Median age was 45 years (19–91) and median body mass index (BMI) was 31.6 kg/m2 (16.7–58). A total of 16 cases of cancer were diagnosed (80% are less than stage IIB). No cancer was diagnosed in 942 women with R1/R2 scores and only one case of cancer was diagnosed in 228 women with R0/R3 scores. However, among 26 women with R4/R5 scores, 50% had malignant disease and 35% had benign lesions (odds ratio = 1.96; 95% confidence interval = 1.5, 2.6) (p < 0.0001). No correlation between known risk factors and imaging score or cancer diagnosis. Conclusions: The public acceptance of BC screening program was encouraging. Longitudinal follow-up and inclusion of more participants will help in better determining the risk factors relevant to our patient population. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Objective:We attempted toassess the prevalence of malocclusion, in terms of age and gender in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We also attempted to identify the predominant risk factors for malocclusion and consequences of the same. Methods:A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted. Patients were questioned on heredity, childhood adverse oral habits and feeding habits. Questions pertaining to dental history and current oral health were also asked. Recorded data was analysed using SPSS version 17. Results:Malocclusion was more prevalent in males and below 20 years of age. Tongue thrusting increased the risk of malocclusion by 59%, bottle feeding by 18%, while heredity increased malocclusion risk by 98%. Malocclusion increased the chances of developing dental caries or periodontal disease by 26%, while the risk of dental or facial trauma was increased by 86%. Conclusion: Heredity and tongue thrust habit are the most significant risk factors for malocclusion. Patients with malocclusion are at high risk of developing dental or facial trauma, and are at slight risk of developing caries or periodontal problems.
