Background: Proper hand hygiene practices by healthcare providers are critical to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). This study aimed to assess the hand hygiene knowledge and practices of nursing students in various departments and operation theatres of a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey based on WHO questions was conducted in March-April 2022 to evaluate the hand hygiene knowledge and practices of 105 nursing students. The study included nursing students from different departments, including medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, eye, different ICUs (adult, NICU, and PICU), and different OTs. The collected data were analyzed according to the STROBE guidelines. Results: Of the 105 nursing students, 42.86% had no training in hand hygiene practices, highlighting the need for additional training. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most students (86%) were familiar with using alcohol-based hand rubs. Most students preferred hand rubbing before giving an injection (65.74%), while hand washing was preferred after vacating a bedpan (91.42%) or being exposed to blood (89.52%). Comparing the pre-and post-workshop questionnaires showed a significant improvement in hand hygiene knowledge. However, more training is required to understand the importance of infection spread from the infected hands of HCWs. Additionally, gloves are not a substitute for hand hygiene practices, and wearing jewelry and artificial nails should be avoided. Regular training and workshops can increase awareness among nursing students. Conclusion: The findings indicate a need for ongoing training to improve hand hygiene practices among nursing students. Regular training and workshops can increase awareness and knowledge, leading to decreased incidence of HCAIs.

Background: Metabolic syndrome is the challenge of this era; diseases are initiated with the abnormal functioning liver. This study aims to evaluate the effects of HFD on liver anatomy and to study the morphological changes with its histological findings Methodology: 50 male albino rats were acclimatized in the animal house of DUHS, divided into 5 groups (GP). GP 1 was on a standard diet for 6 weeks, GP 2 was on HFD for 6 weeks, GP 3, GP 4, and GP 5 were on HFD for 6 weeks. They were treated with ginseng root extract in doses of 100mg/ml, 200mg/ml and 400 mg/ml for 6 weeks. After 12 weeks, GP3, GP4, and GP 5 were dissected, and the liver was isolated for histology and micrometry. Blood was drawn and sent for LFT to correlate morphological changes with enzymes. Results: Rats on a high-fat diet developed fatty liver with altered LFT. The treated group showed a reversal of changes in morphology and LFT in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: The morphometric analysis revealed that fatty accumulation in liver cells deranges the liver function leading to metabolic syndrome. Ginseng root extract helps in depleting fatty accumulation in the liver.

Background: To prevent the rapid rise of COVID-19, people’s adherence to control measures is affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19. In this study, we investigated Pakistani residents' KAP towards COVID-19 during the peak spread of this disease. Methodology: cross-sectional survey designed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices during the COVID-19 epidemic using an online questionnaire. The knowledge section of the questionnaire had eight questions (K1-K8) regarding clinical presentations, transmission routes, prevention, and control of COVID-19. Attitudes towards COVID-19 were estimated by four questions (A1-A4) mainly focused on the agreement on the successful control of COVID-19. For practices (P1-P6), six questions were asked related to washing hands, covering the mouth, and social distancing practices. Results: A total of 139 completed forms were included in the analysis, of which 98 (70.5%) were females and 41(29.5%) were males. Results of multiple binary logistic regression analysis on factors significantly associated with attitude towards COVID-19, successful control of COVID-19 in Pakistan by gender OR (95% CI), 1.95(1.58, 0.80). As these findings were recruited from a small number of participants, they cannot be generalized to the entire population. Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that the unequal distribution of knowledge may impede certain people from adopting healthy practices.

Background: Understanding and investigating the causes of birth defects is a critical approach toward the findings and development of helpful treatments and diagnostic strategies to overcome the issue of birth defects. We aim to investigate birth defects' causes by identifying the most common abnormal genes found in an inheritance pattern. Collecting genetic causes of the most common birth defects found in Pakistan and searching the link between birth defects and other harmful diseases. Methodology: The birth defects data is systematically gathered and critically analyzed to assess the role of insertions and deletions as the causative agents. Analysis was conducted on genomic data to investigate the genetic causes of congenital abnormalities. Results: The most common birth defects, namely neural tube defect (spina bifida), Facial palate (cleft/lip palate), heart defects (atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot), deletion syndrome, and laryngomalacia caused by the main problematic genes namely MTHFR, MEIS2, TBX1, and NKX2-5. The results show that about eighty-six percent (86%) of gene variants overlap completely with the defective genes transcript, including both insertions/gain and deletions/loss. Conclusion: Identification of the main genes which are involved in most of the common birth defects highlights the major twelve genes, namely LMNA, MTHFR, POMC, TTN, SLC25A13, FGFR3, GCH1, TBX1, MEIS2, NKX2-5, GATA4, and GATA6.

Background: Food addiction is a behavioral addiction toward foods with high fat and sugar content that leads to overeating. In clinical practice, there is no diagnosis of addiction because diagnostic criteria focus on symptoms, distress, and impairment in daily functioning. Thus, this study aimed to assess the relationship of psychological health with addiction to food. Methodology: A self-administered questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 1200 participants aged between 15 and 60. The relationship between food addiction towards emotional and physical health was assessed using Yale Food Addiction Scale; items were rated and scored using a) a five-point Likert scale for assessing food addiction and b) a two-point scale used for assessing psychological health. Results: It was found that most of the participants had mild food addiction (66.5%). It was found that 65.5% of participants had mild psychological problems. When the food addiction was assessed in association with the demographic variable, a significant association was found for gender (P-value=0.009), BMI (P-value=0.024), lifestyle activity (P-value= 0.038), and family history (P-value=0.000). Conclusion: It was found that increased food addiction might lead to increased psychological problems.

Nursing education involves extensive training to develop critical thinking and decision-making skills that are essential for effective patient care. Research is a crucial component of nursing education as it provides opportunities for students to gain new knowledge and apply evidence-based practices. However, undergraduate nursing students often view research as a challenging and intimidating task. Negative perceptions and lack of resources and support can hinder students' ability to conduct research successfully. This article emphasizes the importance of research in nursing education and highlights the challenges that undergraduate nursing students face when conducting research. It also explores ways in which nursing schools can provide necessary resources and support to overcome these challenges and help students develop research skills. By doing so, nursing students can become more confident and effective practitioners based on evidence-based practice, contributing to better patient outcomes.

Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is highly prevalent in patients with diabetes mellitus. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement is used to diagnose peripheral arterial disease, and little is known about its prevalence in asymptomatic type 2 Diabetic patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of subclinical peripheral artery disease in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Methodology: It was a descriptive study conducted at the Peshawar Institute of Medical Sciences, from Feb 2022 to Aug 2022. Two hundred sixty-four patients with type II diabetes (for more than three years) with no clinical features of peripheral arterial disease were assessed by measuring ankle brachial pressure index for subclinical peripheral arterial disease. Reading less than 0.9 was positive for peripheral artery disease in the lower limbs. Results: Peripheral Arterial Disease was present in 115 (43.6%) patients and absent in 149 (56.4%) patients. The peripheral artery disease was significantly more in males, those with age greater than 55 years, smokers, and hypertensive patients (p-value ≤ 0.05) but was not associated with the duration of diabetes or BMI of the patient (p-value > 0.05) Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of asymptomatic peripheral artery disease in Type 2 Diabetic patients using ankle-brachial pressure index measurement. Those with ages greater than 55 years, smokers, hypertensive, and males were particularly at higher risk.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular tumor that usually occurs on the skin and mucous membranes, mostly of the oral cavity. The most common site for oral PG is the gingiva. The lesion arises in response to various stimuli, such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, or hormonal changes. It may occur at any age, with the highest incidence in the 2nd and 5th decades of life. Women are more frequently affected due to the increased levels of circulating hormones like estrogen and progesterone. This article reviews the clinical and histopathological features of oral PG, as well as its etiopathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment.

Background: Healthcare professionals experience stressful working conditions that can lead to burnout. This study investigates the association between psychosocial working conditions and burnout among healthcare professionals in a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at three different facilities of Dr. Ziauddin Hospital, Karachi, from July 2021 to December 2021. Two standardized surveys were used to assess the psychosocial working conditions and burnout. The selected participants were associated with the institutional healthcare facility and were working as house officers, residents, nurses, dentists, and allied health professionals. Results: out of 384 distributed questionnaires, only 172 participants completed and returned the questionnaire. The mean score of burnouts was 46.24 with an SD value of 16.1 when assessed with the different levels of burnout (i.e., no burnout, stressed out, mild burnout, burned out, server burnout), it was found that the majority of the participants' n=56 (32.6%) had mild burnout and n=55 (32%) had burnout while severe burnout was found in n=22 (12.8%). Conclusion: Our study results indicate that there is a significant increase in healthcare professionals' level of burnout in a tertiary care system.

Stres kerja ialah suatu kondisi yang muncul akibat dari interaksi manusia dengan pekerjaannya, atau umpan balik atas pekerja secara psikologis maupun fisiologis yang dapat menyebabkan tekanan terhadap produktivitas kerja maupun lingkungan kerja yang dapat mengganggu pekerja (Asih et al., 2018). Menurut penelitian Labour Force Survey (LBS) total kasus akibat stres kerja, depresi atau kegelisahan pada tahun 2019/2020 di Inggris sebesar 828.000 dengan besar prevalensi 2.440 per 100.000 pekerja, ini merupakan kenaikan yang signifikan dibanding periode sebelumnya. Di Indonesia menurut hasil survey yang dilakukan oleh PPM (Pembinaan Pembangunan Manajemen) kepada para pekerja nasional baik dari sektor jasa, perdagangan, konstruksi, manufaktur, dan pertambangan menyebutkan bahwa persentase stres akibat kerja sebesar 80% selama masa pandemi Covid-19. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana hubungan usia, pendidikan, lama kerja, beban kerja, dan gaji dengan stres kerja pada pekerja proyek pembangunan gedung RSUD Bogor Utara di PT. Jaya Semanggi Enjiniring Tahun 2021. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 40 responden. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptik analitik dengan desain penelitian Cross sectional dan pendekatakan kuantitatif. Pemilihan penelitian ini menggunakan metode total sampling dengan menggunakan uji Chi-square. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa usia memperoleh (p-value 0.746) menyatakan tidak ada hubungan, pendidikan (p-value 0.490) menyatakan tidak ada hubungan, lama kerja (p-value 0.018), beban kerja (p-value 0.009), gaji (p-value 0.009) menyatakan adanya hubungan dengan stres kerja. Saran untuk perusahaan ialah perusahaan dapat mengidentifikasi pekerja yang memiliki keluhan atau kesulitan dalam mengelola sumber stres akibat kerja agar dapat segera ditangani dan menghindari adanya penurunan produktivitas kerja.
工作压力是人类与工作的互动，或对工人心理和生理的反馈，可能导致工作生产力或工作环境的压力，可能会干扰工人(Asih et al.， 2018年)。根据英国Labour部队调查(LBS)的研究，2012 /2020年英国工作压力、抑郁或焦虑的总病例为82.8万名，每10万名工人有2,440人，这是比上一个时期显著增加的。在印度尼西亚，mtc对服务、商业、建筑、制造和采矿等国家工人进行的调查显示，工作压力的比例为Covid-19大流行期间的80%。这项研究的目的是了解到2021年1月1日加拉耶耶邦东寺北茂物RSUD项目工作人员与工作压力之间的关系。本研究的样本总数为40人。该研究是一种具有交叉部分研究设计和定量分析的分析描述性研究。选择本研究采用采用Chi-square的总抽样方法。根据一项研究，挣钱的年龄(p-value 746)表示没有关系，教育(p-value 018)表示没有关系，长期工作(p-value 018)、工作负荷(p-value 09)、工资(p-value 09)表示与工作压力有关。给公司的建议是，公司可以识别那些在管理工作压力来源方面有不满或困难的员工，以便及时处理，避免工作效率下降。
