Abstract

Asthma is one of the most common diseases in the world, with particularly high prevalence in KSA. Poor asthma management compliance, including inaccurate diagnoses, inappropriate medication use, poor patient knowledge, low understanding of the disease, unsatisfactory self-management adherence, incorrect techniques in administering inhalant medications and insufficient education are known to exist. The aims of this study is to assess asthma knowledge, attitudes and practice among the health professionals within two hospitals in Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia. This survey was carried out using self-reporting questionnaires. The hospital was a Level 3 site because it has an Emergency department that is open for admissions 24 hours a day, and is equipped with a Medical Assessment Unit. For this survey, a descriptive approach was adopted. 112 (n=112) health professionals were interviewed (nurses n=65 and doctors n=47) through the use of a convenience sample. The data was collected using a combination of two questionnaires, both of which were validated and deemed reliable while inclusive of demographics. Findings may also be used in the planning and implementation of awareness programmes about asthma care and its treatment. Finally, the findings of the study may be valuable to researchers interested in conducting further studies to improve asthma management.

Abstract

Background: Statins are the class of drugs that are widely used for lowering LDL cholesterol and as primary and secondary prevention to cardiovascular disease. However, the widespread use of statins is constrained by the presence of toxicity or intolerance, which affects drug control rates. The toxicity or intolerance of statins ranges from 10-15%. The most common statin toxicity is statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS). The underlying mechanisms of SAMS involve the disruption of mitochondrial biogenesis, potential membrane changes, reduced number of mitochondria, and changes in protein oxidative activity due to the accumulation of ROS in cells and tissues. The disruption of mitochondrial biogenesis can be marked by a decrease of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor co-activator gamma (PGC-1a). This study aimed to determine the effect of simvastatin on skeletal muscle PGC-1a.Methods: Sixteen female Wistar rats (8-10 weeks of age) were randomized into 2 groups: (1) control group (n=8), and (2) simvastatin group(n=8). For 30 days, the simvastatin group was exposed to simvastatin at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. Meanwhile, the control group animals only received 0.5% methyl cellulose. Gastrocnemius muscles were collected and PGC-1a levels were evaluated by using ELISA Kit.Results: Following 30 days of treatment, a significantly lower level of skeletal muscle PGC-1awas observed in the simvastatin group compared to the control group (p = .026). Conclusion: Our finding indicates that administration of simvastatin at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day for 30 days may decrease skeletal muscle PGC-1a leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in rat skeletal muscle

Abstract

The researcher is outlined to have a beginning stage for an exploration plan for health financing for COVID-19, recognizing a preliminary addressing four thematic areas, namely mobilization of results, allocation and buying, monetary danger insurance (financial risk protection) equity, and maintaining and empowering advancement for UHC. Every question would require further elaboration and unpacking, with an improvement of proper exploration approaches utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. While there is a requirement for fitting of research questions and country-specific analyses to advise local decision-making, there will likewise be incredible worth in bigger cross-country similar examination activities to address these inquiries, permitting finding out about how various frameworks, settings, qualities, and reactions to the plague have shaped health financing results and how these can be reinforced. The results show that heterogeneous effects across occupations and workers in the Western Balkan Societies show that health care occupations that have a higher share of workers working remotely were less affected by COVID-19. Those who did take full measures were more affected.On the other hand, occupations with relatively more workers working in proximity to others were more dramatic. The investigation also dove into the research related to the financial matters of COVID-19 that has been delivered in a relatively short time. The aim is to carry rationality(coherence) to the academic and strategy banter and help further examine.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study was carried in Baghdad city form the period of March to December 2018.Newly diagnosed children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), admitted to the Oncology center forchemotherapy were included in the study. Their ages range from 15 months to 12 years. Patients withhemoglobinopathies (sickle cell disease and thalassemia) hemophilia and liver diseases were excluded fromthe study. Healthy children included as a control group aged between 16 months to 13 years. Blood sampleswere collected from 25 patients diagnosed from Iraqi child with (ALL). The diagnosis for ALL based onthe following findings: age, leukocyte count, involvement of tissues other than bone marrow. Age andsex matched 25 healthy persons who are devoid of conditions like diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, psychiatricdisorders or history of any drug intake are selected as control. Five ml of venous blood was drawn from (50)patients of ALL ranging between (1-15) years old, after 30 days induction therapy treatment and (30) normalcontrol. The study demonstrated that Serum Fetuin A mean was significantly elevated in children with acutelymphoblastic leukemia as compared with the control group (20.11±4.1 and 9.22± 2.83 pg/ml) respectively(P. value <0.001). The study showed that, hemoglobin level was reduced significantly (P<0.001) in ALLchildren (8.73 g/dl) as compared with healthy children (12.32 g/dl). The study showed that, WBCs level waselevated significantly (P<0.001) in ALL children (8.83 cell/cmm) as compared with healthy children (5.65cell/cmm), Lymphocyte also elevated in in ALL children (5.85 cell/cmm) as compared with healthy children(3.21 cell/cmm). The study showed a significant negative correlation of serum fetuin A with hemoglobin inchildren with ALL, (r: -0.72). The also study showed a significant positive correlation of serum fetuin A withWBCs and lymphocytes levels in children with ALL

Administration of imidacloprid, orally (2 doses:45and 90 mg/kg b.w) to adult male rats for 4(D1), 8 (D2) or 12 (D3) weeks caused a disorganization ofthe spermatogenic cells, degeneration and congested of interstitial connective tissue, degeneration ofseminiferous tubule, reduction in number of cell layers per seminiferous tubules, number of seminiferoustubule sections, percentage of normal seminiferous tubules, seminiferous tubule diameter height of thegerminal epithelium, Infiltration of the immune-mononuclear cells, and a decrease in weight of the body,testes, epididymis, Vas deference, Seminal vesicle and prostate, this change was significant after 4 weeks oftreatment in high dose treated rats whereas it was significant after 8 weeks treatment in low dose treated rats,when compared to controls. Fertility index in female, Gestation index, weight of the litter born and numberpups to rats mated with IM treated (two doses) males in D2 or D3 was lower than controls whereas Gestationperiod, Fertility index of mal, viability index, Sex-ratio at birth did not significantly vary from controls.
