Abstract : It is being revealed that the advent of technology has remarkably contributed to the development of human society. Advance technology has both sides affecting us either positively or negatively; Nomophobia is a pathological fear of being out of contact with smartphones, having no network, or having insufficient balance or battery. Thus, this study has been conceptualized to investigate gender differences of nomophobia experiences among undergraduate students in Oman. A descriptive correlational and cross-sectional study design was chosen to achieve the research purpose among SQU undergraduate students. The total sample was 578 based on defined inclusion criteria. Nomophobia was identified using a self-report instrument, the Nomophobia Questionnaire, which includes 20 Likert scale items rated from 1 (“strongly disagree”) to 7 (“strongly agree”). 578 participants met the eligibility criteria, the age of the respondents ranged from 18 to 25, and the mean age was approximately 21.0 years. The majority of the participants were female (60.4%), single (94.6%), and lived in-campus (53.1%). The mean score nomophobia was 82.9 indicating a moderate level of nomophobia. Female students reported a higher level of nomophobia compared to males. However, no statistical difference was found among them. This study found a high prevalence of nomophobia in both genders with no statistical differences. More studies should be conducted in this area to address the cultural differences, Emotional intelligence, and social support as another aspect affecting the experiences of nomophobia between both genders.

Abstract : Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been found to have higher risks of depression. A better understanding prevalence depression comorbidity may provide key insight for managing multiple comorbidities in primary care and tailored therapeutic interventions. The purpose of this study was to observe the depression symptoms among T2DM outpatients in Yogyakarta and Sleman primary care based on the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9). A cross-sectional survey was carried out at six primary health centers of Yogyakarta city. During September to December 2019, diabetes mellitus type 2 patients in Prolanis group was recruited. A pre-validated instrument consisted of sociodemograhics and clinical information and A 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 9) scale was used. All data obtained were analyzed descriptively, and Chi-square test was used to determine association between variables and depression symptoms. Most of 475 study participants had minimal depression symptoms score based on PHQ-9 questionnaire. The majority of participants experienced fatigue, insomnia, depressed mood, and loss of appetite symptoms. Association between characteristics participants and severity of depression based on PHQ-9 were found in smoking status, diabetes duration, blood glucose control, comorbidities, and complication showed statistically significant. This study showed that mental health problem especially depression found in type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatient in Yogyakarta and Sleman primary care. Association was found regarding smoking status, diabetes duration, blood glucose control, comorbidities, and complications. Mental health should be a concern to medical practitioners since it linked to poor clinical outcomes and self-monitoring blood glucose.

Abstract : This study is performed to assess the correlation between some serum cytokine levels with vitamin D status as well as the bone mineral density in blood samples obtained from 100 Iraqi β-thalassemic major matching in age and gender with 100 healthy control subjects whom collected from Al- Alkarama Teaching hospital during December 2018 to August 2019. Measurement serum levels of Transforming growth factor -β, Interleukin -35,Tumor necrotic factor-α, and vitamin D were done using ELISA kits, as well biochemical measurements of serum alkaline phosphatase, inorganic phosphorus, in addition to the serum calcium have been performed through conventional colorimetric methods.Furthermore,the results indicated significant alteration in all serum cytokines studied levels as well biochemical parameters in the β-thalassemic major patients when compared to the healthy control subjects. Our information suggests the presence of severe deficiency of vitamin D, in addition to the imbalanced immune conditions including immunosuppressant and inflammation in the thalassemia β-major patients, that might be changed to extra efficient immune response through the intake antioxidants.

Abstract : Breast cancer is one of the most important malignant diseases all over the world. Incidence of breast cancer is increasing around the world and it is still the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide with an estimated 1.3 million new cases diagnosed annually. As areas become more developed, breast cancer risk factors such as obesity, early menarche, alcohol consumption and smoking, environmental pollution and decreased or late childbearing are becoming more prevalent. In Iraq, breast cancer ranks first among types of cancers diagnosed in women. This study was conducted on one hundred twenty women with breast cancer that were evaluated and investigated for the possible role of the risk factors on the development of breast cancer in females. The work had been conducted in Baghdad Medical City Hospital. Information on data include woman's age of breast cancer, marital status, number of full pregnancies, lactation period, woman’s education, age at menarche, woman's social habit like smoking, hormonal therapy use and family history of breast cancer were collected by self-administered questionnaires. Data were collected and analyzed statistically. Differences were significant at (p˂0.05). It is concluded that there is a strong correlation between breast cancer and the risk factors among most of the parameters used.

Abstract : End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major public health problem worldwide and lead to extensive epidemiological research in the adult population, including Indonesia. Socio-demographic and clinical factors played an important role for dialysis patient in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of HRQOL to socio-demographic variables (gen¬der, age, education, and working status) as well as clinical vari¬ables (dialysis duration and comorbidities) in end-stage renal disease patients (ESRD) using EQ-5D measurement. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to October 2019. The questionnaire used a validated Indonesian version EQ-5D-5L. The EQ-5D includes a 5-item descriptive system to calculate the EQ-5D index score to determine the health status. Data were analyzed descriptively, and association between factors and HRQOL were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The variables are statistically significant with p<0.05. Among 132 respondents, mostly female (56.82%) with higher participants were in 30-45years group and 49.24% were less than senior high school. The reported HRQOL as measured by mean EQ-5D-5L index value showed lower score in pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression dimensions. The results of univariate analysis showed a significant association between HRQOL with gender, age, education, and working status. The study provides a set of utility in patients and significant factors associated with QOL so that the significant interventions which can be developed by the health professionals to support end-stage renal disease patients.
