This case manifested most criteria set forth for the diagnosis of parental alienation and created serious doubt regarding the validity of the allegations set forth by the mother and the child. Uncover...
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of medical student mistreatment in Lebanon, the framework of the incidents, and the extent of students' knowledge on mistreatment characteristics....
This is a cross-sectional study conducted using an online-based survey among medical students who have performed clinical rotations in Lebanon....
Out of 300 respondents, 48.7% reported being subjected to mistreatment during clinical practice, which was significantly associated with gender, type of university, and family income. The two most com...
This study showed that medical student mistreatment is highly prevalent in Lebanon. It also highlighted the lack of proper education on mistreatment characteristics and the necessity for investigating...
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) research and applications are of utmost relevance in Lebanon considering its population genetic diversity. Moreover, as a country with regional leadership in medicine and higher...
Disaster disrupts the normal functioning of a community, causing significant damages and losses. In recent years, Lebanon faced multiple disasters, including one of the largest explosions ever recorde...
To examine the knowledge (K), attitude (A), readiness to practice (rP), and KArP associated with disaster medicine preparedness among HCPs in Lebanon....
A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in Lebanon using data from participants answering an online survey. Participants enrolled in this study were HCPs (residents and faculty), medical s...
A total of 195 participants (average age 30.6 ± 11.4 years) were included in this study. Participants reported moderate scores of knowledge, attitude, and readiness to practice. Older participants rep...
Our study's findings showed that age and the level of education were positively correlated with readiness to practice. Men, compared to women, had significantly higher scores in all categories. Barrie...

Mutations were previously identified in the CYP1B1 gene in six out of 18 Lebanese families (33%) with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and typ...
Twelve PCG patients previously negative for CYP1B1/MYOC mutations were subjected to whole-exome sequencing. Targeted screening for glaucoma-associated genes was performed. Candidate variants were veri...
Six mutations in known PCG-causing genes were identified in five patients: homozygous mutations in CYP1B1 (p.R368G), LTBP2 (p.E1013G), and TEK (p.T693I), and heterozygous mutations in FOXC1 (p.Q92*), ...
This study provides new data on the spectrum of mutations of PCG in Lebanon. This highlights the genetic heterogeneity of the Lebanese population, noted for high rates of consanguinity in 50% in this ...
