Abstract

This study explores the role of nutrition in immune function and resilience against infectious diseases in adults aged 18 to 65 years. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional design, the research examines the relationship between dietary intake and immune markers, as well as the incidence of infectious diseases over a six-month period. A total of 300 participants from a specific urban area were assessed for nutrient intake using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a 24-hour dietary recall, while immune function was measured through blood biomarkers, including white blood cell count, interleukin-6, and immunoglobulin G levels. The results indicated significant positive correlations between nutrient intake (especially vitamins C and D, and omega-3 fatty acids) and immune function markers, with higher nutrient intake linked to improved immune responses. The study also revealed that participants following the Mediterranean diet had the highest immune function and lowest frequency of infections, while those on low-quality diets experienced poorer immune health and more frequent infections. These findings underscore the critical role of nutrition in modulating immune function and enhancing resilience against infections. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the beneficial effects of a balanced, nutrient-rich diet on immune health and highlights the importance of dietary interventions for improving public health outcomes.

Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of Automated Dispensing Systems (ADS) on medication safety and workflow efficiency in hospital pharmacies. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing pharmacy operations before and after the implementation of ADS in a tertiary care hospital. Data were collected from 50 pharmacy staff members and secondary data on medication errors and workflow efficiency, with operational metrics such as dispensing time, error rates, and prescription processing rates. The results indicated a 77.1% reduction in medication errors, with significant improvements in the accuracy of drug dispensing, dosage, and labeling. Additionally, workflow efficiency was enhanced, with dispensing times reduced by an average of 7.4 minutes per prescription, and the number of prescriptions processed per hour increased by 60%. Paired t-tests, regression analysis, and ANOVA tests were used to analyze the data, revealing that ADS adoption led to measurable improvements in both safety and efficiency. The study further found that pharmacist training and system readiness were critical factors in maximizing these benefits. These findings suggest that ADS technology can significantly improve medication safety by reducing errors and enhancing workflow, offering valuable insights for hospitals considering the implementation of automated systems. This research fills a gap in existing literature by providing empirical data on the specific impact of ADS on different types of medication errors and by offering a comprehensive analysis of both operational metrics and staff perceptions.
