The transfer process from our old publisher (Medknow) to our new publisher (Thieme) was not smooth and took longer than expected. Besides, we were faced with many difficulties at the beginning that resulted in a loss of communication with many of our authors, readers, and referees; we apologize to them for any inconveniences they faced in reconnection with LIMUJ. However, our train now is back on track, and we hope for a smooth fast ride toward our goals.1 With Thieme, we have received 16 articles (excluding the editorials), 3 were rejected before review, two were rejected after review, and 11 articles were accepted after review with an acceptance rate of approximately 69%. The average review time from the first submission to the final decision was 33.6 days, and the average handling time after acceptance till article publication was 32.7 days. One of our short-term goals is to improve these indicators, the time for the reviewing process, and the time of production after acceptance. The articles accepted were from different countries including Libya (seven articles), Turkey (two articles), India (one article), and the United States (one article). The subjects of the accepted articles were of different diversities of the medical sciences, including coronavirus disease 2019 related complications like lung abscess,2 pulmonary mycosis,3 and vaccination status of healthcare workers in Turkey.4 In an ophthalmological study, different ocular parameters in Libyan subjects were reported.5 Another study was performed to examine the effect of intramuscular injection of vitamin D on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, glycemic control, and liver enzymes in Libyan patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus with vitamin D deficiency.6 Animal studies included evaluation of the protective effects of doxycycline against vanadiuminduced hepatoxicity in rats,7 and central nervous system effects of the methanolic extract of the leaves of Capparis spinosa L.8 A clinicopathological characteristics of prostate lesions in surgical specimens of Libyan patients were prescribed in a retrospective study,9 and a review article provided information on the current state of antimicrobial resistance in Libya.10 Another original research article reported the magnitude of burnout among physicians in Benghazi-Libya,11 and a letter to the editor describing the 8th Libyan Cardiac Society Congress Recommendations.12 Publication in LIMUJ is still free, charging no processing or publication fees. It is open access under the terms of the Creative Commons permitting copying and reproduction so long as the work is properly cited. I always say that perfection is slow in onset but long in duration. We are aiming for near perfection, andwe hopewe can reach this aim with your help as an author, reader, and reviewer. Wishing you all a happy, healthy new year.","PeriodicalId":18106,"journal":{"name":"Libyan International Medical University Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"037 - 038"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90085071","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}

Aim  This study is planned to assess the magnitude of burnout among physicians in Benghazi-Libya. Methods  This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2020 on a total of 150 physicians working at different departments of internal medicine in Benghazi-Libya. The Maslach Burnout Inventory collection instrument was used to assess the three components of burnout syndrome: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. High scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and low scores in personal accomplishment are indicative of high burnout. The statistical analyses of the data were performed using the SPSS version 21. The level of statistical significance was considered as p -value less than 0.05. Results  60% of the respondents were females and 40% were males. About 14.7% had high emotional exhaustion, 92% had high depersonalization, and 87.3% had low personal accomplishment scores. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between gender and burnout. Alternatively, a significant association was found between degree certificate and emotional exhaustion, as moderate- and high-level burnout were more prevalent among MBCHB participants than those with masters and board degrees. No association was found between degree certificate and depersonalization or personal accomplishment. Conclusion  Burnout is prevalent among internal medicine doctors in Benghazi, with the newly graduated medical personnel scoring higher rates of burnout than doctors with higher degrees. No relationship was found between gender and burnout.","PeriodicalId":18106,"journal":{"name":"Libyan International Medical University Journal","volume":"97 1","pages":"045 - 050"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80060170","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}

In Libya, the plant grows in rocky areas and at high altitudes. It is commonly used by the inhabitants of the Mediterranean region in their kitchen and treatment of many diseases. Aim  This study was undertaken to investigate the central nervous system depressant, anticonvulsant, and the muscle relaxant activities of orally administered methanolic extract from the leaves of C. spinosa L. (MECS) in mice. Methods  The oral administration of three doses of the MECS in mice (500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg) were evaluated in the picrotoxin (PC)-induced convulsion model, ketamine-induced sleep, and rota rod test. Diazepam was used as a reference drug for comparison. Results were analyzed using SPSS program version 16. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, and compared using one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan's test. The significance level was set at p  < 0.05 Results  Oral administration of MECS (1000 and 2000 mg/kg) significantly prolonged the onset of seizures ( p  < 0.01) and produced dose-dependent protection against PC-induced seizures compared with the control group (12.5% and 50% protection, respectively). MECS significantly ( p  < 0.05) and dose dependently reduced ketamine sleep latency (from 3.16 ± 0.16 to a minimum of 1.5 ± 0.22 minutes) and prolonged ketamine-induced sleeping time (from 11.33 ± 1.99 to a maximum of 33.33 ± 0.95 minutes). In the accelerated rotarod test, MECS significantly ( p  < 0.01) decreased the riding time on the rotarod (from 128.83 ± 14.6 to a minimum of 1.83 ± 0.47 seconds) as compared with the normal saline control group. Conclusion  The results showed that the MECS possesses anticonvulsant, sedative, and muscle relaxant properties in mice.","PeriodicalId":18106,"journal":{"name":"Libyan International Medical University Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"057 - 062"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86011603","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}

Vaccination of the society in a short time may be the most important step in the fight against the pandemic. Health workers can be considered role models for society.\u0000 Aim We aimed to investigate the COVID-19 vaccination status of health care workers.\u0000 Methods The universe of our cross-sectional and descriptive study consisted of doctors, nurses, secretaries, interns, and other health care professionals. In the light of the literature, a questionnaire was prepared that questioned the attitudes and behaviors of the participants about vaccines. Face-to-face interviews were conducted during the visits. SPSS was used for statistical analysis.\u0000 Results A total of 806 volunteers, 51.4% (414) male and 48.6% (392) female, with a mean age of 32.7 ± 9.3 years, were included in the study. In total, 4.6% (37) of the participants in the study had not received any COVID-19 vaccine. Male participants were vaccinated statistically significantly more than female participants (p = 0.044). Of those vaccinated against COVID-19, 98.3% (774) had received at least two doses. Also, 26.9% (217) of health care workers had COVID-19 disease. The rate of those whose first-degree relatives had COVID-19 was 42.2% (340). A total of 87.3% (704) of health care workers reported that COVID-19 vaccines were safe. Also, 25.3% (204), 29.5% (238), and 35.0% (282) of the participants reported that state officials' vaccination in front of the media, social media news, and national media news, respectively, affected the decision to vaccinate.\u0000 Conclusion Although male health care workers have received more COVID-19 vaccines than female health care workers, vaccination rates of health care workers are at an acceptable level. Health workers comply with the calendar recommended by the ministry.","PeriodicalId":18106,"journal":{"name":"Libyan International Medical University Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86668827","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}

Severe lung damage and immunologic derangement resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection predispose to superinfections. Risk factors for secondary IFI includes immunologic derangement and immunoparalysis resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection, neutropenia, or lymphopenia, poorly controlled diabetes, structural lung disease fungal colonization, and drugs such as corticosteroids or immunomodulators given as therapies for COVID-19.

Doxycycline is an antioxidant that prevents the progression of disease through inhibition of lipid peroxidation.\u0000 Aim The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of doxycycline against vanadium-induced hepatoxicity.\u0000 Methods Sixty two male Sprague-Dawley rats (250–300 g) were equally divided into the following four groups: control group (received 0.2 mL of physiological saline), doxycycline control group (received 4 mg/kg body weight on day 1 and 2 mg/kg body weight daily thereafter), vanadium group (received elemental vanadium 1.5 mg/kg-body weight in distilled water), and concomitantly treated group (doxycycline + vanadium) received (doxycycline 4 mg/kg body weight on day 1 and 2 mg/kg body weight thereafter + vanadium 1.5 mg/kg body weight), all given orally for 10 consecutive days. The rats were sacrificed by decapitation 24 hours after the last dose. The liver was removed rapidly and processed for the evaluation of metabolic variables: phospholipids, cholesterol, cerebrosides, gangliosides, reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, calcium, acetylcholinesterase enzyme, and lipid peroxidation.\u0000 Results Vanadium administration significantly reduced (−60 g) the body weight and significantly increased (+28%) the relative liver weight compared with controls. The rats exhibited neurological function deficits. Vanadium administration decreased the concentrations of metabolic variables compared with controls, cerebrosides (−50%), cholesterol (−39%), phospholipids (−18%), GSH (−45%), and inhibited acetylcholinesterase enzyme (–48%). Gangliosides (+ 38%), vitamin C (+ 20%), and calcium (+ 80%) were increased together with an enhancement (+64%) in lipid peroxidation. The combined treatment (vanadium and doxycycline) significantly increased (+25 g) the body weight and relative liver weight of rat was significantly reduced (+5%) compared with vanadium administered group. The levels of metabolic variables were significantly reversed in this group in the following order: cholesterol (+17%), phospholipids (+7%), vitamin C (−14%), acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity (−27%) together with inhibition (−16%) of lipid peroxidation.
