Abstract

This descriptive study assesses the knowledge of gastric sleeve procedures among 55 fourth-year nursing students at the College of Nursing in 2024. Recognizing the crucial role of nurses in managing obesity through surgical interventions, this research aims to identify educational gaps within the nursing curriculum. The students were evaluated using a structured questionnaire focused on their understanding of the procedure's link to obesity factors. Results indicated that the majority of students had a satisfactory knowledge level, with significant mean scores; however, about 25% of the responses—mainly those detailing surgical specifics—showed insufficient knowledge. These findings highlight the need for enhanced educational focus on bariatric surgery in nursing programs to better prepare students for clinical responsibilities in patient care and surgical support. Highlights: Knowledge Level: Majority of students showed good understanding of gastric sleeve procedures. Knowledge Gaps: About 25% lacked detailed surgical knowledge. Educational Implications: Results suggest the need for enhanced bariatric surgery content in nursing curricula. Keywords: Gastrectomy, Obesity, Nursing Education, Bariatric, Knowledge

Abstract

Background: Poor adherence to antihypertensive medications and persistently elevated blood pressure contribute significantly to cardiovascular events, increased hospitalizations, and premature mortality. Specific Background: Adverse effects of antihypertensive medications, such as cough, dizziness, and increased urination, often lead to non-adherence, exacerbating these health risks. Knowledge Gap: There is limited understanding of nurses' knowledge regarding the adverse effects of antihypertensive medications, particularly in developing regions. Aims: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of nurses in Basra, Iraq, about the adverse effects of antihypertensive medications and to identify areas needing improvement. Results: Seventy nurses (both male and female) from various hospitals in Basra participated in a questionnaire. Findings revealed that only 49.78% of nurses were confident in their knowledge about the adverse effects of these medications, 20% did not know the answers, and 25.9% were unsure. The overall mean score was significant (2.27), indicating insufficient knowledge. Novelty: This study provides the first detailed assessment of nurses' understanding of antihypertensive medication adverse effects in Basra, highlighting a critical gap in knowledge and the need for targeted educational interventions. Implications: Enhancing academic and practical training for nurses is essential to improve patient care and adherence to hypertension treatments. Future research should focus on developing and implementing educational programs and continuous assessment frameworks to ensure nurses are well-equipped to manage and communicate the adverse effects of antihypertensive medications. By addressing these gaps, healthcare providers can better support patients in adhering to their treatment regimens, ultimately reducing cardiovascular risks and improving patient outcomes. Highlights: Knowledge Gap: Only 49.78% of nurses confident about antihypertensive medication adverse effects. Implications: Enhance nurse training to improve patient care and treatment adherence. Future Research: Develop educational interventions and continuous assessment frameworks for nurses.

Patients who were admitted to several hospitals in the city of Basrah were the subjects of the current study. The study aims to ascertain whether there is a correlation between the occurrence of renal disease and the moment at which type 1 and type 2 diabetes begin. The results of the questionnaire, which was completed by 70 males and females from rural and urban areas, ranging in age from 14 to 80 years, indicated a significant correlation between kidney disease onset and diabetes, with 55.4% of affected patients having type 1 diabetes before type 1 KD and 53.3% having type 2.

Abstract

Given the rising incidence of allergies, Proteins, either in their natural state or in forms arising from food preparation, are the source of food allergies. The field of proteomics has substantially benefited from advancements in mass spectrometry. These developments round out the range of biological assays that have been employed up to this point, including PCR and ELISA, and enable the identification and measurement of allergenic protein traces in complicated mixtures. We highlight significant advancements in mass-spectrometric techniques and examine approaches categorized based on their capacity to simultaneously quantify and detect allergenic proteins Highlights: Proteomics Advancements – Mass spectrometry improves allergen detection in food. Diagnostic Methods – ELISA, PCR, and immunoassays enhance allergen identification. Regulations – European laws mandate allergen labeling on food products. Keywords: Food allergies, proteomics, mass spectrometry, ELISA, PCR
