Almost 10% of all European Union employees work in health and social care systems, and a considerable number of them work in hospitals. The same is the case in Saudi Arabia, where the health care system is well developed and vibrant. With such a large workforce working in an environment where they can face accidents and injuries, accidents do happen. According to the International Labor Organization, there are 270 million occupational accidents causing 2 million deaths annually. The study was conducted at King Fahd Military Complex, Dhahran and Red Crescent. The study was aimed to identify the nature, frequency and causes of work-related injuries among paramedical staff. The present is among the largest studies of WRIs in EMTs in Saudi Arabia. In this study, we found a very high rate of verbal and physical violence against healthcare personnel. Physical violence negatively affects levels of satisfaction in workers. Studies indicate that exposure to both chronic and critical incident stressors increases the risk of EMS personnel developing post-traumatic stress reactions. The risk of WRIs to paramedics and EMTs is obviously high. The most common injuries were verbal/ physical violence, needle stick injuries and motor vehicle accidents. The most common cause for these WRIs was carelessness on part of EMTs.","PeriodicalId":170261,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacometrics and Integrated Biosciences","volume":"66 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132790945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a response of the body that protects itself from external agents but when it is excess and built up in the body it causes some worsening symptoms. Synthetic drugs usually cause side effects and adverse effects. Herbs are normally known to combat inflammations and fight free radicals. The antioxidants present in the herbs causes the preventive action of the oxidation and causes lowering of the inflammation. There were also investigations performed on the plant to prove the above activities. Among all the plants that are available in nature lamiaceae members, plants like Molucella laevis, Nepeta cataria, Vitex agnus, Origanum dictamnus and Mentha piperata were considered as major medicinal plants with a lot of medical applications. 5 members of lamiaceae were selected to study and compare the anti-inflammatory activity and the data suggests all the plants have better activity and out of all the Mentha extract showed a significantly better activity compared to the standard drug.","PeriodicalId":170261,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacometrics and Integrated Biosciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116722031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wight & Arnott belongs to family Leguminosae commonly called as Salaparni is an essential component of potent Ayurvedic formulations. It has been screened for antioxidant, cytotoxic, antidiabetic & anti-diarrhoeal activity. Currently, there is no enough scientific evidence or literary resources on the anti-inflammatory & antipyretic activity of this plant. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring P.viscida for its therapeutic potentials as anti-inflammatory & antipyretic agent. A research was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory property ( inflammation-induced to rat paw oedema by carrageenan & cotton pellet granuloma) & antipyretic (Pyrexia induced by brewer’s yeast) activities of petroleum ether extract of Pseudarthria viscida (PEPV) stems & roots in albino rats. Pre-treatment of the animals with the plant extract (100 & 200 mg/kg, p.o.) has prevented the inflammation produced evident by the change in volume of paw oedema which is proportional to the dose. A maximum effect was seen at 200 mg/kg, which was competent to Indomethacin (10 mg/kg, i.p). The antipyretic effect of PEPV (100 & 200 mg/kg, p.o.), measured as percentage lowering in body heat was compared with st&ard, Paracetamol (150 mg/kg, p.o.). The anti-inflammatory & antipyretic activities showed dose-related response at 100 mg/kg & 200 mg/kg, when compared to the st&ard. This current research investigated & advocates the anti pyretic property & anti-inflammatory potency of Pseudarthria viscida, and it supports the application of the plant in medicine as per ethnopharmacology.

Routine investigation performed to pick out Stroke is imaging, that is luxurious and no longer easy. So we want an ordinary simple take a look at to predict stroke. To have a look at the association between platelet indices, platelet matter and Ischemic Thrombotic stroke. Platelets are small discoid cell factors which can be heterogeneous with admire to size, density, age and metabolic characteristic. The ordinary person human has a platelet be counted among 1—five-four lakhs/mm3. Platelet indices or platelet quantity parameters mainly include Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and Plateletcrit (PCT). Automated mobile counters have made the platelet matter and platelet volume indices - MPV, PDW and PLCR mechanically to be had in most scientific laboratories. The MPV shows the average length of the platelets and its ordinary extent is 7.4 -10.4fl. According to current research, large platelets are enzymatically and metabolically extra active and have better thrombotic potential compared with smaller ones. Hence individuals with high MPV are said to be at danger for thrombotic activities. The PDW is a measure of platelet anisocytosis. The PCT is the ratio of the volume of platelet cells to the entire amount of blood. Platelets and their interest have a Svital role inside the pathogenesis of coronary heart disorder. Some research has proven that decreases in platelet are counted can be a characteristic of the prothrombotic state in coronary heart ailment. This can be a result of platelet consumption in the acute segment of clot formation and next thrombosis.","PeriodicalId":170261,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmacometrics and Integrated Biosciences","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128067175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
