  • Amplification in the Inner Ear: Bekesy’s Paradox
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

    Abstract:
    This work provides a critical analysis of the amplification of quiet sounds according to the traveling wave theory. He points out the flaws and inconsistencies of Bekesy’s theory with current knowledge. He presents his own modern sub molecular theory of hearing, which includes a new perspective on the amplification of quiet sounds at the molecular, intracellular level Keywords: Bekesy’s theory; Inner ear; Gambin....

  • Challenges and Effect in Implementation of Isolation Precaution Measures in Alnoor Specialist Hospital, Makkah Cluster, Ministry of Health (MOH), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

    Abstract:
    Background: Healthcare associated infections endure a main reason for morbidity, mortality and cost globally despite advances in infection prevention and control. Understanding temporal shifts in causative
    organisms is essential for surveillance, resource allocation and challenges faced by Nurses.

  • Red Corn (Zea mays L.) Special Ultrasonic Extract Zea-Phen® Profile and Its Protective Activity against Oxidative Stress in Isolated Mouse Organs
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

    Abstract:
    It could not be denied that both red corn anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds were shown to be great antioxidants, and some variation of their antioxidant power should be expected between different studies. The DPPH assay was used to better understand why red corn showed relatively high antioxidant activity compared to other fruits and vegetables. Red corn phenolics exhibited higher antioxidant capability and faster reaction kinetics than the same amount of blueberry phenolics, suggesting red
    corn phenolics to have a larger number of active hydroxyl groups and more favorable configurations to allow for better interactions with the free radicals. It has been observed in previous reports that antioxidant assays such as FRAP, DPPH, ABTS, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity exhibit a high correlation with polyphenols content. Gardner et al also reported a high correlation between total polyphenols and antioxidant activity measured by FRAP. The study observed that there is a high correlation between the antioxidant activity assays (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP) and the content of total polyphenols such as flavonoids, phenolic

  • Experience of Nursing Practice Using an Artificial Intelligence–Based Voice Recognition Tool
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

    Abstract:

    Objective: To describe a clinical experience in nursing practice using an artificial intelligence–based voice recognition tool.

    Method: This hospital management initiative was based on observation and  descriptive analysis of a clinical nursing practice experience focused on the use of an artificial intelligence tool based on voice recognition, implemented in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Fundación Cardioinfantil – LaCardio. The
    experience compared two clinical documentation practices: one performed using Dragon Medical One (DMO) software and the other using traditional typed transcription...

  • Hypoxemia Due to Right-to-Left Shunting Through a Patent Foramen Ovale in a Postoperative ICU Patient: A Case Report
    Vol. 1 No. 1 (2026)

    Abstract:
    Background: Hypoxemia in postoperative Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients is often multifactorial, with common causes including atelectasis, pneumonia, or pulmonary embolism. However, right-to-left shunting through a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a rare but critical differential diagnosis in unexplained hypoxemia..
