Both patients had favorable outcomes at follow-up visits. This stresses the importance of a proper recognition of the pathology, incidence, diagnosis and management of the cyst of Montgomery in the pediatric age group. Obesity is a global health problem of immense magnitude. Increased awareness and knowledge about obesity in health-care providers are essential to addressing this global issue. The aim of the present study was to assess the baseline knowledge on obesity of university students in health-related programs and evaluate the effectiveness of modified physiology laboratory (MPL) sessions in enhancing the awareness of obesity of these students by repeated exposure to physiological differences between normal weight (NW) and overweight or obese (OW/OB) individuals. It was a quasi-experimental study in which three regular physiology laboratory exercises were modified (MPL) to address different aspects of obesity. A total of 319 students (181 male and 138 female) from health-related colleges taking the physiology course during academic session 2011-2012 were included in the study. A questionnaire on obesity served as a measure of prior knowledge and improvement of evolution of student knowledge. The questionnaire was in awareness and knowledge of obesity is expected to directly impact on the students' lifestyles and boost their confidence to counsel others on obesity. The awareness and knowledge on obesity of health-related undergraduate university students at baseline were low, but significantly improved after MPLs. The students' knowledge did not only increase but also improved in accuracy. This increase in awareness and knowledge of obesity is expected to directly impact on the students' lifestyles and boost their confidence to counsel others on obesity. A good night sleep is essential for good health since it supports proper brain functions and its ability to make decisions and to learn and remember new information. The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence of sleep deprivation (SD) and its effects on the performance of family medicine residents in Riyadh. A cross-sectional study design was based on an informative-validated self-assessment questionnaire, especially designed by the Medical Council of Canada, to assess the performance of family medicine physicians. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional review board. Data was analysed using SPSS; initial analysis included computating frequencies and percentages. Odds ratios were calculated for association between. Of the total 258 respondents, 32% had low performance, and 41.5% of the sample suffered from SD, with a male/female ratio of 11. There were no significant differences between residency level (R1, R2, R3, and R4) and the average number of sleeping hours. However, 45.5% of R1, 47.8% of R2, 32.4% of R3, and 41.5% of R4 suffered from SD. The data showed a significant difference between the performance and the average number of hours of sleep of the respondents on a typical day. SD was associated with the low performance of 48.6% of subjects compared to 18.3% in those who slept for 7-9 h (aOR=3.96). SD negatively affects the performance of family medicine residents. There was no statistically significant difference between males and females in performance. The center for residents' training should consider adequate sleep as essential for the promotion of health and performance. SD negatively affects the performance of family medicine residents.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) refers to the use of nonconventional medical practices together with standard medical care. Specific forms of CAM included in this study are the use of honey, dry
