Background Epilepsy is a chronic neurologic condition with different risk factors and genetic predispositions. It is characterized by the occurrence of an epileptic seizure. To our knowledge, most studies have focused on revealing epilepsy prevalence in Saudi Arabia, but the etiological prevalence is still not well-studied in the region. Thus, this research aims to raise awareness and provide more insights into the etiological prevalence of this disorder. Methodology A cross-sectional study was performed among 431 adult patients diagnosed with epilepsy in the Neurology Department at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patients’ data were retrospectively collected from electronic medical files covering the period between May 2016 and April 2021. Epilepsy etiologies were classified as suggested by the International League Against Epilepsy 2017. Results The most commonly identified seizures were generalized (25.3%) and focal (8.9%). However, 66.1% of seizure types were unidentifiable. The most common etiology was structural (42.9%), followed by genetic (7.2%), with strokes (24.3%) and tumors (23.8%) being the most prevalent structural etiologies. However, 47.6% of the patients were classified under unknown etiology. Conclusions This study suggested that epilepsy diagnosed as generalized was by far the most common seizure type in our cohort. Structural etiology was evident in most patients, with stroke being the highest presented etiology.

Burn injuries are among the most catastrophic public health issues because of the severe physical, functional, and psychological effects. Numerous studies have revealed that both developed and developing societies lack understanding about first aid for burns. This research sought to review and appraise perception, awareness, and practices of burn first aid among non-healthcare providers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and whether they need an effective program. To the best of our knowledge, this is likely the first research conducted in Jeddah. MethodologyWe conducted a cross-sectional study in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia using a self-administered online questionnaire among non-healthcare providers in July 2022. The questionnaire was made up of 29 questions divided into two sections: demographics and first aid for burns.
