After working in medical research for more than 4 years, I decided to share my knowledge, love, and passion for research and invite you to join me on this #ResearchRide. We will share knowledge, opportunities, and more 👏🏻.

🟠 سعدنا بالمشاركة في تفعيل الشهر العالمي للتوعية بسرطان الجلد في مستشفى الملك فيصل التخصصي ومركز الأبحاث، المدينة المنورة 👏🏻
أتقدم بخالص الشكر والتقدير لكافة أعضاء فريق العمل على جهودهم المتميزة.
It was a pleasure to participate in activating the Skin Cancer Awareness Month at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Madinah 👏🏻
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all team members for their outstanding efforts. It was a successful and impactful campaign. We hope our efforts have helped raise awareness and promote the importance of skin cancer prevention.

In our 2025 publication, “Microneedling with topical 5-fluorouracil for vitiligo treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis” (Archives of Dermatological Research, Q1, IF: 2.1):
📌 Analysis of 6 RCTs (251 patients) showed that microneedling + topical 5-FU significantly improves repigmentation, particularly in treatment-resistant vitiligo.
📌 Increased rates of pain and erythema were observed, though overall outcomes remained favorable.
🔎 Highlights the promise of this combination therapy, with further studies needed to refine protocols, dosing, and safety.

📖 Just published in Dermatology Practical & Conceptual: “Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.”
📌 Scalp cooling significantly reduces chemotherapy-induced hair loss. Across 13 studies (1,200+ patients), hair preservation reached 75–95% compared to 8–49% without cooling. It reduced the risk of moderate-to-severe alopecia by up to 90% and greatly lowered the need for wigs.
I conceptualized this project in May 2025 and brought it to publication in under a year. Grateful to the team for their dedication and hard work 👏🏻. I'm honored to conduct studies that take a holistic approach and work closely with other specialties in a multidisciplinary setting.

I’m pleased to share our latest publication 📄 “Emerging Advances in the Molecular Landscape of Melanoma and Their Implications for Precision Medicine,” recently published in the Journal of Advanced Medicine 🧬
I consider this work a continuation of my previous paper, “Immunotherapy in Melanoma: A Dynamic Frontier in Cancer Treatment.” As with the first, conceptualizing and developing this project was both challenging and rewarding
Key insights highlight:
🔹 The central role of the MAPK pathway in BRAF-mutant melanoma
🔹 The importance of combination therapies (e.g., BRAF + MEK inhibition)
🔹 Emerging resistance mechanisms and the need for co-targeting pathways like PI3K/AKT/mTOR
🔹 Promising strategies for NRAS-mutant melanoma, including MEK and CDK4/6 inhibitors
📌 While advances in targeted and immune therapies have transformed melanoma treatment, resistance remains a major challenge. Continued exploration of molecular drivers and rational combination strategies will be critical for achieving durable responses.

📌 إذا كنت ناوي تسوي بحث (cross-sectional أو cohort أو case-control)، لازم ترفع المقترح البحثي للجنة الأخلاقيات، وكثير ما يعرفون ايش المفترض يتضمن.
📌 If you're planning to conduct an original study (cross-sectional, cohort, or case-control), you must submit a research proposal to the ethical committee. However, many are unsure what to include.
وهذه أهم العناصر اللي لازم تكون موجودة:
1️⃣ Introduction – المقدمة
2️⃣ Literature Review – مراجعة الأدبيات
3️⃣ Aim & Objectives – الهدف والأهداف
4️⃣ Methodology – المنهجية
5️⃣ Timeline & Budget – الجدول الزمني والميزانية
6️⃣ References – المراجع
7️⃣ Attach data collection tools (e.g., survey) – إرفاق أدوات جمع البيانات (مثل الاستبيان)
Keep it clear, structured, and ethical ✔️
خلي المقترح واضح، منظم، ومتوافق مع المعايير الأخلاقية ✔️

Excited to share our recent publication in Dermatology Practical & Conceptual (Q2, IF: 2.3):
Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Harlequin Ichthyosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis 👏🏻
📌 A rare, severe congenital disorder with high neonatal mortality. Analysis of 68 cases showed predominant features: thick scales, ectropion, and eclabium—often linked to ABCA12 mutations.
📌 Despite supportive care, mortality remained high (~60%), with limited clinical improvement.
🔎 Highlights the urgent need for early diagnosis, genetic counseling, and better management strategies.

Happy to shed light on one of our recent publications in Dermatology Practical & Conceptual (Q2, IF:2.3), titled (Exosomes in Skin Rejuvenation: Systematic Review of Anti-Aging Effects and Clinical Applications)
📌 We have included 21 studies that show exosome-based therapies can improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, boost hydration, and even out pigmentation driven by increased collagen production and reduced oxidative stress.
📌These treatments are generally safe with high patient satisfaction. While promising as a minimally invasive anti-aging solution, more large-scale studies are needed to confirm long-term effectiveness and refine treatment protocols.

Happy to share my paper, "Rhinophyma: a systematic review and meta-analysis of its epidemiology, associations, and treatment outcomes" published in European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (Q1, IF:2.2)
🔗: https://t.co/mH7Gum4YCF
📍In this systematic review of 149 studies including 2,720 patients, we evaluated the epidemiology of rhinophyma, associated risk factors, and outcomes of different treatment approaches.
I was thrilled to collaborate with my ENT colleagues 👏🏻
