Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the conjunctival bacterial flora in fellow eyes of patients 1-5 years old with unilateral NLDO and its changes after successful probing surgery. Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted on children between 1-5 years old with unilateral NLDO with successful probing surgery in 2021. Before probing procedure and postoperative sampling from the conjunctiva of the eyes continued weekly until the colony count became negative or normal. Positive culture (clinically significant growths), colony count, and detected bacteria types reported. Results: The positive culture of conjunctival bacteria was observed in 71 (73.96%) in the case group and 35 eyes (36.46%) in the control group (P<0.0001). Most bacterial species in the case and control groups were gram-positive (75.61% and 82.86%, respectively; P=0.181). The most common isolated microorganisms in both groups were Staphylococcus epidermidis (54.95% and 51.43%) and Staphylococcus aureus (16.9% and 21.43%). The mean normalization time of bacterial culture was 1.92±0.54 weeks (between 1-3 weeks). The time for normalization of cultured bacteria was significantly related to the initial colony count≥1000 and the presence of a silicone tube (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Present study shows that gram-positive organisms with the predominance of Staphylococcus spp. were the significant conjunctival bacterial flora in pediatrics with NLDO. These findings could be helpful for management and appropriate antibiotic selection for treating of NLDO in our region.","PeriodicalId":18393,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082162","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}

However, being well-informed about the disease and how it spreads and adopting preventative measures can stop or slow its transmission. Objectives: This study examines school students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about COVID-19 in Riyadh. Method: Students aged 12 to 18 participated in this cross-sectional study from different schools in Riyadh from April to June 2022. The data was collected through an online survey using a pre-validated Arabic questionnaire. Results: Among 253 students, 91.3% showed a high level of knowledge about the transmission of COVID-19. Furthermore, students reported that fever 94.5%, loss of taste and smell 92.5%, and headache 87.7% were the top three common symptoms. The older versus younger OR=0.306, 95%CI: (0.092-1.024), p<0.05, and secondary school students versus intermediate school students OR=0.243, 95%CI: (0.072-0.819) p<0.02 predicted the high knowledge score. 69.2% of students favor informing the health authorities when they have symptoms, and 71.9% agreed to be isolated if they contacted an infected person. The female students were keener than male students to practice the preventive measures (P-value <0.0001). Social media was the primary source of information. Conclusion: Most participants were well-informed, held rational attitudes, and took preventive measures against COVID-19. Respondents learned about COVID-19 via social media, demonstrating its positive influence on public health awareness. Our study may not reflect Riyadh schoolchildren's COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes, and preventative behaviors. It provides essential information to assist health organizations in creating and implementing preventive initiatives.","PeriodicalId":18393,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082172","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}

Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of ICBT on DPD and compare it with face-to-face CBT in a sample of DPD patients. Method: The participants were adults with DPD recruited from various counseling and psychological clinics in Tehran, Iran. They were randomly assigned to receive face-to-face CBT ( n = 20) or ICBT ( n = 20). Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Interpersonal Problems Questionnaire (IIP-32) were completed at pre-and post-treatment. Result: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) showed that the face-to-face CBT group had significantly lower interpersonal problem scores than the ICBT group (F=23.81, p<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the face-to-face CBT and ICBT groups in anxiety (F=3.68, p<0.05) and depression (F=1.70, p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings support the effects of both ICBT and face-to-face CBT in treating patients with DPD. While both ICBT and face-to-face CBT demonstrated favorable outcomes, our study suggests an advantage of face-to-face CBT in addressing interpersonal problems among these patients. Further research is needed to investigate the long-term effects of ICBT to enhance traditional approaches for DPD.","PeriodicalId":18393,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135081394","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}

During such crises, young adults and professionals are particularly vulnerable to mental health challenges. This study's main objective was to destigmatize mental illness and assess the burden of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal behavior among medical and dental students. Additionally, the study aimed at coping strategies for both individuals with psychiatric illnesses and those without. Method: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess depression and poor mental health symptoms among university students at Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences in Jamshoro, Pakistan. Purposive sampling was employed to promote honest reporting by the students, and strict anonymity was ensured throughout the study. Data collection occurred in the final quarter of 2022. Results: The results from this study show that females, students aged 18-25, and single students faced higher risks of mental health issues. Undergraduate students and middle-class students were also more affected. Logistic regression analysis indicated that marital status, socioeconomic status, and living in urban or rural areas without family support were significant predictors of mental health problems among students. Conclusions: Students' mental health has been notably impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers should consider social impacts on mental health. Urgent actions should include the implementation of telemedicine and the establishment of counseling units staffed by qualified experts. Policymakers need to adopt a holistic approach that integrates mental health support when planning for future epidemics.","PeriodicalId":18393,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082176","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}
