Background: The risk of antibiotics resistance (AR) increases due to excessive of antibiotics either by health care provider or by the patients. Objective: The assessment of the self-medication Practice of over the counter drugs and other prescription drugs and its associated risk factor. Subjects and Methods: Study design: A descriptive study was conducted from “20th December 2019 to 08th January 2021”. A pre validated and structured questionnaire in English and Urdu language was created to avoid language barrier including personal detail, reasons and source and knowledge about over the counter drugs and Antibiotics. Sample of the study was randomly selected. Data was analyzed by software SPSS version 22. Results: Out of n=3388 respondents, the prevalence of self -medication practice of OTC drugs and antibiotics as self – medication practice in all of the respondents is 88% and 85.9% respectively. Knowledge of the respondents about the use of the antibiotics as well as side effects of antibiotics was 40.7% and 15.3% respectively. Headache, fever, cough and stomach problem were the minor ailments for which majority of OTC drugs and antibiotics used respectively. The commonly used OTC drugs and OPDEA were Paracetamol and Omeprazole. The commonly used antibiotics were Metronidazole, Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid and Ciprofloxacin. Conclusion: Government should make policies to train pharmacist in the community for antibiotics stewardship and standard treatment guidelines through educational workshops. Our future study will be on how to minimize antimicrobial resistance in the developing countries Conclusion: Government should make policies to train pharmacist in the community for antibiotics stewardship and standard treatment guidelines through educational workshops.

Background: L. sativum, are traditionally used for the treatment of various diseases and thought to have medicinal value. Isolates from many part of the world is now multidrug resistant. Therefore, there is an urgent need to look for and test an alternative herbal drug. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of L. Sativum seed extract against multi drug resistant (MDR) and sensitive Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates. Subjects and Methods: An ethanolic and aqueous stock extracts were prepared from L. sativum seed plant then serial dilutions were prepared and the obtained concentrations (50, 25, 12.5 and 6.2 mg/ml) were tested against 30 multidrug-resistant and 35 sensitive clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using wells diffusion method. Results: It was found that L. sativum seed extracts had antimicrobial activity against MDR and sensitive isolates at different concentrations of 100, 50 and 25 according to the mean ± SD (standard deviation) of the maximum zones of inhibition. The total number of isolates that were sensitive to both extracts were 49/130 (37%) which represented 17/60 (28.3%) MDR and 32/70 (45.7%) sensitive isolates. The aqueous extract exhibited more inhibitory effect than ethanolic extract 43 (66%) vs. 6 (9%) against the examined isolates (n=65). Conclusion: The study concluded that the L. sativum extracts had an antibacterial activity against the susceptible and MDR isolates which may enable it to be used an alternative treatment for medicinal purposes.

The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 is variable with different types of presentations. Some of them many present with manifestations mimicking surgical emergencies. Yet, the pathophysiology of acute abdomen in the context of COVID-19 remains unclear. We present a case of a previously healthy child who presented with acute appendicitis with multisystemic inflammatory syndrome. We also highlight the necessity of considering the gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 infection in pediatric patients in order to avoid misdiagnosis and further complications.

The emergence of COVID-19 has resulted in an unprecedented escalation in different aspects of human activities, including medical education. Students and educators across academic institutions have confronted various challenges in following the guidelines of protection against the disease on one hand and accomplishing learning curricula on the other hand. In this short view, we presented our experience in implementing e-learning to the undergraduate nursing students during the present COVID-19 pandemic emphasizing the learning content, barriers, and feedback of students and educators. We hope that this view will trigger the preparedness of nursing faculties in Iraq to deal with this new modality of learning and improve it should the COVID-19 pandemic keep on or a new pandemic emerges.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major health issue that is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have found a link between uncontrolled diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with dyslipidaemia predicting glycated-hemoglobin (HbA1c), which could be a major contributor to type 2 diabetes complications and etiology. Objectives: The objective of present study was estimate lipid profiles among control and uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients. Subjects and Methods: Analytical case control based study, One hundred twenty participate were included in study, 70 patients with DM as case group refer to Abuagala Center and difference follow up diabetic center and 50 non diabetic subjects taken as control group males and females their age between 20 to 80 years. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood HbA1c, and serum lipid parameters were measured by CobseC311 from Roche instrument. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22, which expressed as (mean±SD) with p.value. Result:Among120 participant the levels of fasting blood glucose,blood HbA1c,and Triglyceridewereincreased significantly in T2DM (161.7±72.5mg/dl), (8.88±3.9 %), (121±61.9 mg/dl)when compare with control group(91.28±13.9), (5.7±0.50), (80±11.7) with P.value (0.000),while total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein, and Low Density Lipoprotein were not significant different in T2DM when compared with control group. There was weak positive correlation between HbA1c with FBG, CHOL, LDL, and HDL (r = 0.207, P =0.089, r = 0.186, P =0.124, r = 0.167, P =0.168, r = 0.308, P =0.01) respectively, while TG hadweak negative correlation (r =- 0.146, P =0.228). Conclusion: The results indicated to considerable increase in the lipid profile levels in type two diabetic patients when compared with healthy controls group which may lead to increase in coronary risk factors.
背景:糖尿病是一个主要的健康问题，是导致心血管疾病的主要原因之一。最近的研究发现，不受控制的糖尿病与心血管疾病之间存在联系，血脂异常可预测糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)，这可能是2型糖尿病并发症和病因的主要因素。目的:本研究的目的是估计控制和未控制的2型糖尿病患者的血脂水平。研究对象与方法:以病例对照为基础的分析性研究，共纳入120名参与者，其中70名DM患者为病例组，参照Abuagala中心及糖尿病差异随访中心，50名非糖尿病患者为对照组，年龄在20 ~ 80岁之间。采用罗氏仪器CobseC311检测空腹血糖(FBG)、血糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)和血脂参数。数据分析采用SPSS version 22，用p值表示(mean±SD)。结果:120例受试者中，T2DM患者的空腹血糖、血HbA1c、甘油三酯水平(161.7±72.5mg/dl)、(8.88±3.9%)、(121±61.9 mg/dl)较对照组(91.28±13.9)、(5.7±0.50)、(80±11.7)显著升高，p值(0.000)，而T2DM患者的总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白与对照组相比无显著差异。HbA1c与FBG、CHOL、LDL、HDL呈弱正相关(r = 0.207, P =0.089, r = 0.186, P =0.124, r = 0.167, P =0.168, r = 0.308, P =0.01)， TG呈弱负相关(r =- 0.146, P =0.228)。结论:与健康对照组相比，2型糖尿病患者血脂水平明显升高，可能导致冠心病危险因素增加。

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder globally. The prevalence is 25% worldwide, distributed widely in different populations and regions. The highest rates are reported for the Middle East (32%). Due to modern lifestyles and diet, there has been a persistent increase in the number of NAFLD patients. This increase occurred at the same time where there were also increases in the number of people considered being obese all over the world. By analyzing fatty liver risk factors, studies found that body mass index, one of the most classical epidemiological indexes assessing obesity, was associated with the risk of fatty liver. Objectives: To assess age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) as risk factors in NAFLD. Subjects and Methods: It is a case-control cross-sectional study from September 2020 till June 2021 which included all obese patients consulted the obesity research and therapy unit during the period of the study. Age and sex were recorded, body mass indices were calculated for all patients and categorized into normal with BMI < 25kg/m2, overweight with BMI 25-30 kg/m2, and obese with BMI > 30 kg/m2, ultrasonography was done to them to diagnose fatty liver changes which were categorized into three grades; mild, moderate and severe Results: 192 patients were enrolled in the study with an age range from 18-55 years with a mean of 38.09, males were 48 and females were 144. Sever NAFLD is present in 2.8% of obese females and 5.5% of obese male with 0% in normal and overweight individuals. Conclusion: NAFLD was more prevalent with increasing BMI and age in all sexes.
