Title : Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and New-born and Intrauterine Blood Transfusion among Palestinian Pregnant Women
Abstract : Intrauterine transfusion (IUT) is considered to be the most successful relief of fetal anemia resulting from Hemolytic Disease of Fetus and New-born (HDFN). This study aims to determine the frequencies of RBC alloantibodies that might cause fetal hemolysis and evaluate the perinatal outcome of IUTs in Palestine. We conducted a retrospective-cohort study of pregnant women who requited IUT procedure at Al-Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem. We reviewed Blood-Bank records between 2003 and 2013. Data were collected on all RBC-alloimmunized pregnancies requiring IUTs including the age of pregnant women, blood typing, antibody identification, and antibody titers. Also, we collected clinical data from the patients' files about the obstetric history and current pregnancy. A total of 222 IUTs were performed during the study period in 65 alloimmunized pregnancies. Of all cases, 95.4% were associated with anti-D, 36.9 % with anti-C, and 10.8% with anti-E. Other non-Rh antibodies included mainly Kell, Kidd (10.8%), Luth and Lewis. The median number of transfusions needed per pregnancy was 3. The survival rate in the study was 90% and 27.3% of cases were hydropic; survival rate was significantly higher for fetuses without hydropic fetalis. IUT can improve perinatal outcome in alloimmunized pregnancies. In Palestine, policies should be drawn to introduce this procedure to more Palestinian Hospitals to increase its accessibility to the patients. In addition, secondary prevention of anti-D associated sensitization by rhesus immune globulin to reduce the incidence of HDFN should be more efficaciously implemented.

Title : Socio Demographic Characteristics and Social Support Encourage Non-Modern Contraceptive Use in Yogyakarta
Abstract : Indonesian Demographic Health Survey data the use of traditional family planning (FP) methods continues to increase in Indonesia, in 2017 married women aged 15-49 years using a FP method reached 64%, which is an increase from 2013 of 59.7%, while those using non modern FP methods in 2013 were only 0.4% and increased to 6% in 2017. This research was used quantitative research with analytical research design using cross sectional approach. The design of this study was used to determine the reinforcing factor of non modern contraceptive use in the city of Yogyakarta. This research has been carried out in three areas of the city of Yogyakarta, namely the Districts of Mergangsan, Gondokusuman, and Mantrijeron in July 2019. There is a correlation between health care support and non modern contraceptive use, the use of male contraception (spouse contraceptive use) is statistically significant to the use of traditional contraception, respondents whose husbands male contraception have 0.04 times the opportunity to use traditional contraception compared to respondents whose husband do not uses contraception for men. The factors that reinforce couples in the child hearing age to use non modern contraceptive are: use of male (husband) contraceptive methods and support from health workers.

Title : TYPES OF MEDICATION ERRORS AMONG PHARMACISTS AND NURSES WORKING AT A NIGERIAN TERTIARY HOSPITAL: A CROSS-SECTIONAL REVIEW
Abstract : Medication Errors pose a threat to patient safety, however, identifying the occurrence of incidents of medication errors are important aspect of medication handling process. Purpose of the study is to identify the types of medication errors the respondents have experienced in the last 10 years and improve patient safety. 42 Pharmacists participated in the survey while 270 Registered Nurses were selected using consecutive sampling method (n=312). Reliability coefficient was 0.84; level of significance was α = 0.05. A self-structured questionnaire (see Supplementary files) was used for data collection. The research questions were analyzed with descriptive statistics such as frequency tables, charts, percentages and means while the research hypothesis were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test for investigating variability within a variable while t-test and Levene’s test statistic were applied to investigate difference between two variables. The responses were scored (1-5) and the best response was assigned the highest score in descending order. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Science version 21.0 and data presented on relevant tables and charts. The most common types of Medication Errors among the respondents were patient misidentification, giving the wrong medications, wrong dosage and wrong dosage form. The total mean action of pharmacists and nurses were 3.76 and 3.5 respectively. The Kruskal-Wallis test results showed that there was significant difference (p<0.05) between the types of medication error and the action to medication errors among the respondents. To improve patient safety, it is important to take into account several complex mechanisms such as periodic training of pharmacists and nurses, improving medication handling process. This article reports the results of a health care intervention on human participants.

Title : Evaluation of C-reactive protein titer in patients with chronic hepatitis C Viral infection
Abstract : Hepatitis C virus infects liver and degenerate its structure. The progression of disease to chronicity is leaded by the production of acute phase proteins mainly CRP. C reactive protein is synthesized in liver and stimulated by cytokine Il-6, in response to tissue damage, inflammation and infection. The objective of this study was to find the association between CRP and HCV in patients with both positive and negative HCV RNA by PCR. A total of 98 HCV positive patients from Best-way Medical Center, Lahore, and Project of WHO at Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore and CAMB were included in the study in which HCV antibodies were detected to be positive. These all patients were tested for the detection of viral RNA by PCR. CRP assay was performed to all specimens of patients. According to study, 50(51%) out of 98 were positive for HCV RNA and 48(49 %) out of 98 were negative for HCV RNA. 6 (12 %) out of 50 were positive for CRP in HCV RNA positive cases while 12 (25 %) out of 48 were positive for CRP in HCV RNA negative cases. The finding of present study shows that there is no significant relationship of CRP and HCV infection and more, that CRP assay is not useful as a diagnostic marker of hepatitis C virus.

Title : Neurological Improvement After Surgical Treatment of Intradural Schwannoma T9-10 with Paraplegia Inferior – A Case Report
Abstract : Schwannoma is a peripheral nerve sheath tumor, a benign tumor that grows slowly from neural fairy cells in the nerve sheath. These tumors can cause neurological deficits because of their intradural location and suppress the spinal cord so it needs to be decompressed to prevent permanent nerve damage. We reported one case of  intradural thoracal schwannoma with neurologic deficit of paraplegia inferior. We have performed a laminectomy – posterior durotomy and tumor excision with posterior approach without intraoperative monitoring. The result is a return of motoric and sensoric improvement. The patient was satisfied with the result.
