Abstract : Hepatitis B infection caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most important public health threats worldwide. HBV infects the liver and can drive serious liver complications which may lead to death in most cases. In 2007, viral hepatitis was classified by Saudi Ministry of Health as the second most common viral disease with 9000 new cases and HBV represented 52% of all diseases. The prevalence rate of HBV in Saudi Arabia in 2019 was 14.58 per 100.000 population. However, in some cases, HBsAg, appears as negative, which is known as occult HBV infection (OBI). OBI can be defined as the presence of HBV DNA in liver, while HBsAg is negative in serum. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the rate of OBI in premarital screening (PMS) serum samples, which can be a hidden mode of spread of this disease, and raise awareness about it. A cross-sectional study was conducted in three tertiary level public hospitals in Buraydah City, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia within the period of September 2018 to January 2019. A total of 848, HBs Ag Negative Premarital screening serum samples, were randomly collected from both genders, attending the three different hospitals under the Premarital Screening program in Qassim region. All serum samples were then tested by ELISA technique to detect viral antigen and antibodies, and DNA viral load was then detected using Q-PCR. Out of 848 HBs Ag negative serum samples, only 28 samples were found to be reactive to anti-HBc Ab, while 820 samples were non-reactive to anti-HBc Ab. Among the anti-HBc Ab reactive samples, 24 samples were also reactive to anti-HBs Ab, while only 4 samples were, anti-HBs Ab non-reactive. Furthermore, these 4 samples were found to be below detecting range, following analysis of HBV DNA using Q-PCR. This study showed that the probable, prevalence rate of OBI in Qassim region was 3.30%, with no differences among gender or age groups. Therefore, it is highly recommended to introduce anti-HBc assay screening, as a criteria under the Premarital Screening Program. More studies are required to focus on OBI and conduct further investigations with consideration of family history..

Abstract : Physical appearance of tonsils gives false assessment of its extent. Some of the tonsils lie on the surface of shallower tonsillar fossa, others buried in the tonsillar fossa give false estimation of its size. Subjective grading of tonsils may be affected by hypertrophic uvula, uvula-palatal arch variations and raised tongue position which in turn leads to inaccurate judgment. To determine the association between tonsil volume by Ultrasound and Brodsky tonsillar grading in adults. Fifty-four subjects with hypertrophic tonsils were selected from ENT Department of a Public tertiary care hospital with age ranges from 18 - 60 years. After taking written informed consent, subject evaluation Proforma was filled by the principal investigator which included a brief history, demographic data and physical examination. Tonsillar tissue was visualized and volume was calculated by using a standard ultra-sonographic formula (length X Width X Height X 0.523). Mean (SD) age was 25.72 (± 7.9) years. Males subjects were 29 (54 %) whereas 25 (46 %) were females. Maximum patients presented with tonsil grade II and III. Statistically significant linkage between Brodsky grading and ultrasonographic volume of tonsil was found, p-value < 0.001. In addition to clinical assessment of tonsils by physical examination more comprehensive imaging technique such as ultrasound should be considered for preoperative evaluation of tonsillar tissue for better decisions..

Abstract : Women may be subjected to violence throughout their lifetime, starting from early life up to elderly life. This has a significant consequence on the health and well-being of women and their children. Determining the prevalence of violence against women in Bahrain would help us understand the magnitude of the problem compared with other countries, while understanding the possible associated risk factors may help in prevention and early detection. To explore the prevalence of domestic abuse and the risk factors associated with it among adult women attending primary care centers in the Kingdom of Bahrain. A cross-sectional study included 602 Bahraini women meeting the inclusion criteria, who were asked to share any domestic abuse experience. A questionnaire comprising of 10 questions was used. The reliability of the screening tools was determined using Cronbach’s alpha test. The prevalence of domestic abuse among women attending primary health was 30.1%, while the prevalence rate of more than one type of abuse is only 3.3%. Marital status and marriage duration are associated with a significant p-value. Abused women reported that the main perpetrator was the husband 64.3%, a sibling 21.7%, the father 20.9% and the mother 17.8%. The most significant risk factors for the abuser are either having an aggressive personality (34%) or having a history of previous childhood abuse (29.1%) Domestic violence is prevalent in Bahrain. National screening and education programs should be implemented in order to protect women and minimize the consequences of domestic abuse..

Abstract : Enzymes are biological catalysts (also known as biocatalysts) that in living organisms speed up biochemical reactions and can be extracted from cells and cells. A large range of commercially relevant processes were then used to catalyze. Current work is an attempt to develop a new spectroscopic method for quantifying thymol in large quantities and in its pharmaceutical component. The projected methodology is depended on the oxidative coupling of thymol with 2-aminophenol in the attendance of hydrogen peroxide additionally enzyme peroxidase to create a colored compound owing a maximum absorption at 436 nm. The reaction conditions are optimized to obtain the maximum color intensity. It was found that the absorbance increased linearly with increase of the concentration of thymol. Systems comply with Beer's law in the kind (2- 44 μg / ml). Correlation coefficient values were creating to be 0.9994 Sandell sensitivity was calculated as 0.057 μg /𝑐𝑚2. The results of these methods' analysis and recovery studies were statistically validated. The method is applied to pharmaceutical preparations. The percentage of relative standard deviations is 0.144. The accuracy was checked by carrying out recovery experiments and found to be 102.4,100.05,100.2. Excipients typically present in pharmaceutical formulations did not cause any interference. The methods chosen are sensitive, clear, and repeatable, and can be used to evaluate thymol in various pharmaceutical dosage forms on a regular basis..

Abstract : Trust in medical personnel is a fundamental element of the successful therapeutic process. It influences the perception of the patient of his own disease, its understanding and acceptance. It is recognized that trust in the doctor-patient relationship should be deserved, critical and conditional, as it is the basis for maintaining an appropriate relationship between the two parties. The aim of the study was to examine the level of trust in medical personnel among chronically ill people living in Poland. The study involved 303 people aged over 60 years hospitalized in departments of hospitals in Lublin. The study was conducted from June 2018 to January 2019. The diagnostic survey method was used in the study, the research tools were: Trust in Physician scale by L.A. Anderson and R.F. Dedrick and a self-authorship questionnaire. The research technique to collect research material was direct questionnaire. The research shows that the respondents trust their doctor. The respondents showed the greatest trust in terms of communication trust. A significant part of the respondents trusts the decisions and opinions of their doctor and trust the doctor in the treatment of their diseases. Trust in medical staff significantly correlates with the self-assessment of the health condition of respondents in relation to the dimension of psychosocial trust, the trust of examined person using the Trust in Physician scale by L.A. Anderson and R.F. Dedrick and the dimension defined as communication distance: p - 0.04. Adequate trust in medical personnel among chronically ill people is extremely important. The results of our own research show that the respondents trust the doctors to some extent - they paid the greatest attention to the communicative dimension of trust. The most important issues among the respondents were: way of expression, openness and general communication skills of the doctor, which may create the feeling of trust in him in the mind of the patient..
