    Abstract: Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the existing evidence on the neurological effects of Zamzam water, a religiously significant water source, and provide an overview of its potential benefits and risks. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in electronic databases to identify relevant studies published up to September 2021. Studies examining the neurological effects of Zamzam water in both human and animal models were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed following predefined criteria. The findings were synthesized narratively. Results: Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The studies investigated various aspects of neurological health, including cognitive function, antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory effects, and neuroprotection. The results suggested that Zamzam water consumption may enhance cognitive performance in healthy adults and older adults. Additionally, it exhibited antioxidant properties, with potential implications for neuroprotection. Some studies reported anti-inflammatory effects of Zamzam water in neuronal cells. Animal models demonstrated its neuroprotective effects in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. However, concerns were raised regarding potential heavy metal contamination in Zamzam water, which may pose risks to neurological health. Conclusion: The available evidence suggests that Zamzam water may have positive neurological effects, including cognitive enhancement, antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and neuroprotection. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of studies and heterogeneity of methodologies. Concerns about heavy metal contamination in Zamzam water warrant further investigation. Future research should focus on conducting well-designed randomized controlled trials to establish the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosage of Zamzam water for neurological health. Public education initiatives should provide balanced information about the potential benefits and risks of Zamzam water consumption, taking into account its cultural and religious significance.

    Abstract: Introduction: This systematic review examines the strengths and weaknesses of Jordan's healthcare system, providing valuable insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers. The review identifies several areas where Jordan falls short and highlights its notable achievements. The strengths of the healthcare system lie in its high doctor-to-patient ratio and the quality of specialty care services. However, the system faces challenges in terms of primary healthcare, healthcare access disparities between urban and rural areas, and the financial burden on patients. Strategies to address these issues include strengthening primary healthcare, leveraging telemedicine for improved access, and implementing measures to reduce out-of-pocket expenses. The review also emphasizes the need to address the healthcare needs of refugees in Jordan and the potential applicability of Jordan's experiences to similar middle-income countries. Overall, a multi-faceted approach is necessary to address the identified shortcomings and build on the existing strengths of Jordan's healthcare system Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted using predefined keywords related to Jordan's healthcare system, healthcare delivery, strengths, and weaknesses. The inclusion criteria encompassed studies published between 2000 and 2023, written in English, and focusing on Jordan's healthcare system. Exclusion criteria included studies outside the scope of healthcare systems and those not specific to Jordan. Results: The review identified several key strengths of Jordan's healthcare system, including a high doctor-to-patient ratio, specialized care services, and well-established infrastructure. However, the system faces challenges in primary healthcare delivery, particularly in rural areas, resulting in disparities in access to care. Additionally, financial barriers, such as high out-of-pocket expenses, pose significant challenges to patients seeking healthcare services. The influx of refugees has further strained the healthcare system, necessitating culturally sensitive care and increased mental health services. Conclusion: To address the identified shortcomings, strategies such as strengthening primary healthcare services, enhancing access to healthcare in rural areas, and implementing measures to reduce financial burden on patients need to be prioritized. The experiences and lessons learned from Jordan's healthcare system can also inform healthcare improvements in similar middle-income countries. Continued support from the international community is crucial to assist Jordan in managing the additional pressures and ensuring the well-being of its population.

    Abstract: Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) commonly affects athletes and can lead to menstrual cycle changes in female athletes. This review highlights the existing literature on menstrual cycle changes post-TBI. TBI disrupts the hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle, causing irregular or absent periods, hormonal imbalances, and related symptoms. These changes impact the physical and psychological well-being of athletes during recovery. However, research in this area is limited, necessitating further investigation into the mechanisms and implications of menstrual cycle changes in female athletes post-TBI. Healthcare providers and sports medicine professionals must be aware of these effects and provide appropriate care and support. Prioritizing overall health and well-being, including menstrual health, is crucial for female athletes post-TBI. This involves nutrition, stress management, and adjustments to training and competition schedules as necessary. Raising awareness and educating athletes, coaches, and stakeholders is vital for proper care and support. Additional research on menstrual cycle changes in female athletes post-TBI will inform clinical practice and enhance the health and performance outcomes of female athletes. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus. The search strategy employed relevant keywords and MeSH terms to identify observational and experimental studies published from the inception of each database until the present day. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies involving female athletes diagnosed with a concussion, assessing the physiological or pathological changes during the menstrual cycle, and reporting data on hormone fluctuations, symptomatology, cognitive function, mood, neuroimaging, or biomarkers. Independent reviewers screened articles, extracted data, and resolved disagreements through consensus. Results: The initial search yielded 500 articles, and after applying inclusion criteria, 108 studies were included. Menstrual cycle disruptions were assessed through self-reporting and hormonal analysis. Findings indicated potential links between sports-related concussions and irregularities in cycle length, alterations in hormone levels, and changes in menstrual symptoms. However, heterogeneity among the studies and lack of standardized methodologies limited definitive conclusions. Conclusion: This systematic review underscores the need for further research to elucidate the relationship between sports-related concussions and menstrual cycle disturbances in female soccer players. Future studies should employ standardized methodologies, including objective measures and larger sample sizes. Understanding the impact of concussions on the menstrual cycle is vital for holistic care and optimal performance of female athletes in contact sports. Identifying underlying mechanisms will facilitate the development of targeted interventions and preventive strategies to ensure long-term reproductive health and overall well-being after head injuries in female soccer players.
