Third-year medical student at Alexandria University, heading for surgery — and spending most of my spare hours on clinical research.
Three projects are underway right now, including a systematic review and meta-analysis of surgical outcomes in intracerebral haemorrhage.
02 — About
I came into medicine wanting to operate, and stayed for the questions that surgery hasn't answered yet. Most of what I do now sits between the two: reading the evidence carefully enough to know where it runs out.
I lead a systematic review and meta-analysis on whether hematoma location changes who benefits from surgical evacuation in spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage, a second review on ambient monitoring for people living with dementia, and a cross-sectional study on autistic traits and academic performance among medical students. Registered, protocol-first, and slower than I'd like — which is usually the point.
Alongside that: ACLS, PALS and BLS certified, a student member of the American Academy of Neurology, and a graduate of the Aspire Leaders Program. I write about what I'm reading on LinkedIn, mostly to make sure I actually understood it.
03 — Research in progress
All projects →A meta-analysis of RCTs asking whether deep vs. lobar location modifies the benefit of surgical evacuation.
A cross-sectional study of medical students using the Arabic AQ-50, looking at traits against performance.
Do non-wearable sensors and GPS systems actually prevent wandering and falls at home? A systematic review.
