Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is highly prevalent among patients with diabetes mellitus. It affects approximately 20% of diabetic patients, who are believed to be more than 400 million individuals. The objectives of the present work were to assess patterns of albuminuria and determine microalbuminuria predictors among patients living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who attended the family medicine department of Jazan Armed Forces Hospital.

Methodology: A case-control design was used and included two groups (n, 202/group), one with microalbuminuria and the other with a normal urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR). Data regarding patient history, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, renal function tests, ACR, ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) risk, etc., were collected.

Abstract:

Happy people experience a more enjoyable life and are a ‘beacon of light’ to those around them. A beacon of light is someone who inspires or encourages others. They guide and give hope to others and spread their positivity and motivation to people around them. Not surprisingly however, an unhappy is toxic to everyone around them. The famous Terman study from Stanford University followed people for 80 years and found that being around unhappy people is toxic and affects your health and lifespan in a similar way to second-hand smoke. Unhappiness drives people away, creating a vicious cycle that erodes positive connections with family members, friends, and even strangers. If you radiate joy, positivity and kindness to your patients, this has a positive impact on their healing journey and health outcomes.

Abstract:

The complexity of health sciences programmes justifies scaffolding to support students in becoming competent health professionals. The complexity of health sciences programmes justify scaffolding to support students in becoming competent health professionals. Health sciences programmes demands the students to integrate relevant knowledge, psychomotor skills, and attitudes during learning of patient care at various learning platforms. We argue that the complexity of health sciences (HS) programmes warrants various approaches to scaffolding to promote internalisation and automatization of knowledge .

Abstract:

Our study were overserved & put on consideration of the following criteria –Detection of Prematurity and Fetal gasping secondary to hypoxia, inadequate removal of meconium from the airway prior to the first breath, Use of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) prior to clearing the airway of meconium etc.The inhaled meconium can cause a partial or complete blockage of the airways, causing difficulty breathing and poor gas exchange in the lungs. In addition, the substance is irritating and causes inflammation in the airways and potentially, causes chemical pneumonia.Factors that promote the passage of meconium in utero include the following:Placental insufficiency, maternal hypertension .Preeclampsia, Oligohydramnios, maternal drug abuse, especially of tobacco and cocaine, maternal infection-corioaminitis, etc.

Abstract:

The study was developed on the backdrop of understanding the rising cases of nursing fatigue and the resulting implications. First, existing literature demonstrates that nursing fatigue has wide reaching implications such as medical errors, risk to patients’ safety and health, as well as an impact on the nurses’ individual health. Based on these consequences, it was imperative to explore on the fatigue levels and as such formulate a basis for developing coping strategies. Although the subject has widely been evaluated in different jurisdictions, there exists a shortage of studies that specifically focus on the Middle East (Jordan), and which explore the impact of gender and culture on the fatigue levels. These were the strategic focus areas and existing situations that informed the study development.
