Abstract

Annona is one of the many plant extracts that have been explored owing to theiranti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Male locale rabbit were separated into five groups, Group Iconsider as control, The 4th other groups were treated orally with 0.75% ethylene glycol (EG) to inducerenal damage this treatment done till 30th days. Group III to V animals were served as curative regimenand received flavonoids, glycosides and alkaloids extract of the plant of Annona at a dose of 100 mg/kgbody weight from 15th day to 30th day. The extracts was administered twice daily by oral route. significantkidney injury in EG animals as demonstrated by a significant elevation (P= 0.05) in serum activities urea,creatinine, total protein and calculated globulin levels. Meanwhile there was significant drop (P=0.05) inalbumin, and A/G ratio compared to the control and treated group , The levels of lipid peroxidation weresignificantly higher in the Serum of the groups of animals treated with EG , while the levels of SOD,CAT and GPx were significantly lower than animals were treatment of EG group with Annona significantlyelevated the antioxidant mechanisms differ with that before treatment. Renal Histopathological changesincludes deposition of oxalates in the renal tubules lumen, degeneration and necrosis of epithelium of renaltubules , congestion of blood cells , infiltration of inflammatory cells and atrophy in glomerular tuft leadingto expansion of bowmans spaces. While Histopathological changes in animals group treated with Annonaextract and ethylene glycol were limited dilatation of renal tubules with vascular changes with blood vesselscongestion and interstitial hemorrhage , reduced renal damage revealed by less degenerative and necroticlesion in tubular epithelium and no inflammatory reaction and the glomeruli appeared normal compared withethylene glycol sections.

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the prevalence of alcohol and illicit drugs in Road Traffic Accident fatalities fromJanuary 2015 to December 2019 in Eastern region – Saudi Arabia. From a total of 1939 deaths investigatedin the Dammam Poison Control Center, only 57 of them were related to Road Traffic Accidents (RTA), ofwhich 96.4% were males, 36.8% were in the age group between 18–30 years. The highest incidence wasamong Saudi nationals (82.5%). 70.2% of the investigated cases tested positive for ethanol either alone orwith other illicit drugs, cannabis ranked the second (38.6%), followed by amphetamine (17%) and heroin(10%). Ethanol was the sole toxicological finding in (57.5%). The single drug–abusing pattern (50.9%)exceeded bi-and triple drug–abusing pattern (31.5 %). None of the investigated samples showed a positiveresult for illicit cocaine or benzodiazepines. In Conclusion, ethanol identified as a key element, being thehighest frequently detected substance in the blood samples of RTA victims which mandates the need forplanning appropriate interventions and more strict application of Saudi national program for drug preventiontogether with wide community action.

Abstract

Introduction: Using civil society’s and donors’ resources can be helpful options to strengthen financingof the Iranian Health System to reduce the Out-of-Pocket Expenditures. Although local and public fundscan address many problems of health systems, but the main concern is allocation of resources mobilized bydonors.Objective: the current study aims to identify and prioritize effective factors on allocation of resourcesmobilized by donors in the Iranian Health System context.Methods: The current study comprises of three parts. The first part was a qualitative study to identify factorsthat influence allocation of resources mobilized by donors. At the second part, Delphi method was used toevaluate experts’ consensus on allocation criteria. In the second part, identified criteria were prioritized.Hierarchical analysis was used to prioritize criteria.Results: The results of the analysis of interviews were divided into 3 groups: Financial SustainabilityFramework, Corporate Funding Organization, Optimum Funding Allocation and 6 main categories including(Recruitment, Maintenance and Active Participation, Organizing and Planning, Executive factors, method ofinvestment, identification of real need, need-based decision criteria) and 36 sub-categories were extracted.Conclusion: Policy-makers and managers of the health system must channel the mobilized resourcesthrough appropriate planning, organizing, and monitoring. Furthermore, parallel activities must be avoided.Lack of appropriate management and good organization of donations result in waste of resources, whichdistract donors’ attention from the health system

Abstract

Sugarcane bagasse obtained from sugar factories is the residue that is usually left behind and considereduseless. In fact, sugarcane bagasse can be made nanopore-activated carbon in the form of powder and tablet,which is effective as adsorbent of Cr (VI) in heavy metal waste pollution. The production in this studystarted from drying using sunlight, crushing sugarcane bagasse into powder, carbonizing the powder at 3000C, activating it using HCL5N, sieving with 200 mesh and sonicating in 15 minutes with 40% amplitude.After accomplishing those steps, nanopore powder was obtained and then pressed into a tablet. Absorptioncapacity testing of Cr (VI) heavy metal was performed with an artificial sample using K2Cr2O7 solution.Sugarcane bagasse nanopore powder was tested for its contact time by adding 0.1 gram of nanopore powderinto the sample solution, leaving the sample for a while, and analyzing the sample using spectrophotometry.The results show that the optimum contact time of nanopore powder was six hours to reduce 91.80% of Cr(VI) level and the optimum contact time of the tablet was five hours to remove 56.35% of Cr (VI). Testingon a fixed variable of 105 rpm stirring speed and various contact times produced an optimum result with90 minutes stirring duration and adsorption capacity of 91.80% for removing Cr (VI). Examination onfixed variable of stirring time and independent variable of stirring speed resulted in an optimum adsorptioncapacity of 90.07% in Cr (VI) removal, with 105 rpm stirring speed. This study concludes that powder hada greater adsorption capacity than a tablet, while the tablet was more practical for usage.

Abstract

Emergency Department is a service installation in a hospital that provides the first service for 24 hours topatients with the threat of death and disability in an integrated manner by involving various multidisciplinarysciences and multi professions including nursing services. The quality of service in IGD can be assessedbased on 2 (two) things, namely service quality and minimum service standards (SPM). The main factor inevaluating service quality in the emergency room is the speed of service response time or response time.The purpose of service response time is the delivery of services that are fast, responsive and able to saveemergency patients who need help. This research was conducted in January 2020 in the Emergency Roomat Dr. Loekmono Hadi Kudus. It aims to analyze the relationship between service response time and servicequality in the ED. This is a descriptive quantitative study carried out through analytic observation with across sectional approach. The population in this study was the visit of all patients who entered and receivedservices by the guardian in the emergency room as much as 25-35 patients per shift per day, while thenumber of samples in this study were 117 patients. The independent variable in this study is service responsetime and the dependent variable is service quality. Data were analyzed by bivariate test using Kendall Tau.The p-value is 0.963, thus, there was no relationship between service response time and service quality in theEmergency Room Dr. Loekmono Hadi Kudus. Further research is needed because the limited understandingand knowledge of the sample influences the evaluation of service response time to service quality becomesirrelevant.

Abstract

Background: Although Injury is a major cause of death in low and middle income countries, its demographiccharacteristics in such regions is poorly characterized.Aims and Objective: The study aims at determining the demographic pattern of adult injury-related deathsin a metropolitan City in Nigeria.Materials and Methods: This is a 14-year (2003-2016) descriptive retrospective autopsy study of adultinjury fatalities in Warri, Nigeria. The gender, age, and causes of death analyzed using SPSS version 22 andthe results presented in tables and figures.Results: Of the 975 medico-legal deaths in this city from 2003 to 2016, 860(88.2%) deaths were attributedto adult injury; among 778 (90.5%) males and 82 (9.5%) females. The highest and lowest incidence wereamong the 21-30 years (39.8%) and 51-60 years (6.6%) age brackets respectively. Homicide, accident andsuicide contributed 639 (74.3%), 205 (23.8%) and 16 (1.9%) of the fatalities respectively. Firearm injury(47.4%), road injury (11.7%), sharp weapon injury (18.1%), blunt injury (8.1%), drowning (3.5%), burnsinjury (2.9%), electrocution (2.3%), hanging (1.5%) and petrochemical gas inhalation (1.3%) and falls(0.9%) were the major causes of death.Conclusion: Adult injury fatality is poorly addressed public health problem in Nigeria. The study showedhigh vulnerability of victims in the 3rd decade of life and a disproportionately higher male fatality. Homicideis the most common manner of death while is very rare. Proper understanding of causes and manners ofthese preventable deaths is necessary to public health interventions and policies.
