Title : Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Medical Doctors of Kuala Muda District of Malaysia towards the Relationship between Periodontal Health and Systemic Diseases: A Questionnaire‑Based Study
Abstract : Periodontal diseases are common oral health problems worldwide and affect up to 50% of the population globally. The bidirectional relationship of periodontal diseases with various systemic diseases has been reported in several studies. The successful prevention and management of periodontal diseases depend on the knowledge and attitude of medical practitioners towards the oral health. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical practitioners of Kuala Muda district towards the relationship between periodontal health and systemic diseases. Ninety-five medical doctors from various specialties of medicine were included in this cross-sectional study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical doctors. Though the mean periodontal knowledge scores of specialists (10.37±1.617) were slightly higher than the mean scores of general practitioners (9.83±1.564), the difference was not statistically significant (p= 0.105) at the 0.05 significance level. There was a statistically significant (p = 0.037) negative correlation (r = -0.215) noted between the years of practice/experience of medical doctors and their mean periodontal knowledge scores. The study demonstrates that medical doctors had fair knowledge about the periodontal diseases and their relationship with the systemic diseases. However, the practice and attitude of medical doctors towards the screening/referral of patients for oral and periodontal health checkup needs to be improved..

Title : Evaluation of pro-oxidant antioxidant balance (PAB) in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and their mother compared to normal cases
Abstract : Evaluation of pro-oxidant antioxidant balance (PAB) in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and their mother compared to normal cases. The study was conducted on patients include 54 neonates with infant RDS (sera pH < 7.2, Apgar score <5 and serious signs of RDS) and their mothers (n=54), and the controls include 40 full-term infants (the abnormal clinical sign were not seen until three days after delivery) and their mothers (n=40). The infants’ samples obtained from their cord blood and mothers' sample obtained from their venous blood immediately after delivery. The PAB assay carried out on the subject’s sera by the simple, rapid, and accurate PAB assay. The PAB values of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome and their mothers, the full-term normal controls and their mothers were (34±21), (14±8.1), (183±29.3) and (174±18.9) respectively. Our obtained results have demonstrated that the PAB level is significantly higher in infants suffered from RDS than that of normal (p<0.01). The SPSS version 16 used for statistical analysis based on the One way ANOVA test. The p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The PAB level of infants suffered from RDS and their mothers is significantly higher than those of control group with the normal full-term delivery..

Title : Dental fear and anxiety levels of a University Population in a sample from Yemen
Abstract : The aim was to investigate the dental anxiety and fear levels among students and its relation with their field of study and gender. This cross-sectional study included 720 (360 females and 360 males) which recruited from the collages of Dentistry and Humanities and Social Science in University of Science and Technology in Sana'a, Yemen. Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) and Dental fear survey (DFS) was used to measure dental anxiety and fear among the study population. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the association among the dental anxiety measurements or between DAS and DFS tests. Chi-square tests and linear regression analyses were used to determine the associations between dental anxiety or fear and contextual variables. Out of 720 students enrolled, 713 students (354 males and 359 females) completed and returned the questionnaire having response rate of 99.03%. The association between dental anxiety measurements or the DAS and DFS were statistically significant (p < 0.01). Dental students were less anxious and fear than humanities and social sciences students (p < 0.05). Females were more anxious and fear than males (p < 0.05). Dental anxiety and fear was more associated with female than other contextual variables [for fear (OR = 1.14, p = 0.001); for anxiety (OR = 1.90, p = 0.001)]. Dental anxiety was found to be related to dental fear. Male students were less anxious and fear than female students. Students from medical background faculties were less anxious and fear..

Title : Does The Existence of COVID-19 Vaccine Affect The Level of Anxiety Among Frontline Healthcare Providers? A Pre And Post-Analysis
Abstract : We aim to compare the anxiety level among frontline healthcare providers (HCPs) working in a tertiary hospital during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic with the level of anxiety after the announcement of the existence of the vaccine. We also aim to investigate the demographic factors contributing to anxiety and assess the accessibility of ongoing psychological and emotional support projects. This is a cross-sectional study using an online survey tool to collect data from healthcare providers at the emergency and intensive care departments of a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. The study was done in two phases: phase I during the peak of the epidemic (June-August 2020) and phase II after the vaccine's availability in Saudi Arabia. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) was used to measure the phase I and II anxiety levels. The total number of HCPs in this study was 278. The prevalence of anxiety was 65.2% (n=90) during the peak, and 57.8% (n=81) after the vaccine is available. Moderate to severe anxiety was 28.2% in phase I and dropped to 21.42% in phase II. Severe anxiety was noted among males more often than females and especially those who are physicians and married. Only half of the HCPs perceived the hospital's psychological/emotional support as clear and accessible in phase I, and the percentage increased to 60.3 (n=85) in phase II. The findings from this analysis showed a concerning prevalence of anxiety in the HCPs. The level remains high despite the vaccine's existence, which mandates continuing/improving the emotional support strategies, whether on a national or international level. The researchers discuss several contributing factors and conclude with policies that formulate an effective strategic plan for the ongoing pandemic and subsequent ones..

Title : Efficacy and Safety of Romiplostim in Indian Patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Single-Center Experience
Abstract : We evaluated the efficacy and safety of biosimilar romiplostim in Indian patients with ITP. Patients (>12 years) of either gender with ITP, who had received romiplostim from Jul-2019 to Oct-2020, at Department of Clinical Hematology, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, India, were included. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with platelet response (platelet count: ≥50000/μL). Of 16 patients, majority (62.5%) were females. The mean age was 34.5 years. Seven (43.75%) patients had newly diagnosed ITP, two (12.5%) had persistent, 6 (37.5%) had chronic and 1 (0.6%) had refractory ITP. Romiplostim was initiated at 250 µg/week by subcutaneous route. At 1 month, platelet response was achieved in 50% patients, with 25% (4/16) patients achieving the response as early as the first week. The platelet response at 3 months was achieved in 87% patients. Overall, the mean platelet count increased from 12687/μL at baseline to 159625/μL at 1 month and 171000/μL at 3 months. Romiplostim treatment was overall well-tolerated without significant toxicities. Biosimilar romiplostim demonstrated improvements in platelet counts in Indian patients with ITP, and was well-tolerated..
