Methodology: This study included 159 female volunteers aged 30-35 years determe effect of various doses of Nigella sativa (NS) on LDL-C serum levels of eight groups for the duration of nine months. Subjects in the first month (October 2021) were considered as the control (C) subjects. Same subjects in the remaining eight months (November 2021 to June 2022) were administered equal daily doses (1 gram/day) of the powder of Kalonji/NSS. Blood samples were obtained and Friedewald formula was employed for determining the levels of serum LDL-C. Results: The groups 1 to 8 altogether had significant decrease in LDL-C. Analysis of variance showed highly significant variations. Intergroup variations had p>0.0001. Various groups of LDL-C control range from 80-129.9 mg/dl under the influence of various doses of NS supplementation gave highly significant negative linear correlation. Conclusion: Administration of NS showed the levels of LDL-C in the central range of 80-100 mg/dl that might be considered as the physiological normal serum levels of LDL-C. Further studies are required in healthy subjects and patients having various hyperlipidaemic and other related disorders to understand the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of NS.","PeriodicalId":20844,"journal":{"name":"Rawal Medical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70840277","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}

The TNS-PV instrument were used to assess VIPN and nerve conduction studies (NCS) was used as the gold standard. Results: A total of 54 children were enrolled, two refused to sign the informed consent. About 60% were male children, 76.9% aged <10 years old, and 94% were ALL-L1. The TNS-PV had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.638 (95% CI 0.531-0.834) with cut off value of 3.5. It had a sensitivity 87.9%; specificity 42.1%, positive predictive value 72.5%; negative predictive value (NPV) 66.6% and OR (Odds ratio) 5,273.

Results: Of 180 respondents, 62.8% were young adults, 73.3% were males, 68.3% were doctoral degree holders, 66.1% were licensed medical doctors, and 39.4% were advanced beginners. Saudi healthcare workers had an overall level of “high compliance” (mean=2.29). Chi-square test of independence (r2) revealed a statistically significant relationship between compliance to infection control practices and the following variables: age (p=0.0100), gender (p=0.0177), educational attainment (p=0.0001), and profession (p<0.0001).

Methodology: This Quantitative cross-sessional community-based survey was carried-out from January to February 2020 among the Saudi population and included both natives and residents. We used convenience sampling technique. Perception about living kidney donation questionnaire was developed which included questions about knowledge regarding living kidney donation. Results: Out of 1295 participants, 567 (43.8%) were males and 728 (56.2%) females. The overall mean score of the public`s perception about living kidney donation was moderate (mean=5.90±1.18). There was a statistical difference (F=3.44, p<0.05) between age groups toward perception regarding living kidney donation, as older and female patients have a better perception of kidney donation than young adults and men. The trends of the Saudi community about kidney donation were moderate; most participants agreed to donate a kidney for humanitarian and religious purposes. Participants were aware that living kidney donation improves the quality of life of the recipient. Conclusion: Greater awareness about the center responsible for the organ transplantation can help willing donors to consent to future donation.","PeriodicalId":20844,"journal":{"name":"Rawal Medical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70840494","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 necessary to describe instances and phenotypes of necroptosis in gastric cells. Methodology: Fifty patients who had undergone gastrectomy from January 2020 to December 2022 were interviewed. A noninvasive investigation has been performed on each specimen to check for the presence of H. pylori by using stool, antibody test, urea breath test, and biopsy taken on endoscopy. Results: Increased population of RIPK3-positive cells was observed in both gastric glands and lamina propria in H. pylori infected human oxyntic gastritis and atrophic specimens. Phenotypic analysis revealed that many RIPK3-positive cells were H + K+ ATPase-positive parietal cells in the gastric glands and are predominantly CD3-positive T lymphocytes CD68-positive macrophages, and SMA-alpha-positive stromal cells. Positive tests for H. pylori were conducted on 50 individuals on chemotherapy who already had gastric cancer as a consequence of exposure to bacteria. The incidence of stomach cancer was 62% in males and 38% in females with age between 30-85 years. Conclusion: An increased population of RIPK3-positive cells was observed in several types of gastric cells. Future studies that define the effects and mechanisms developed of H. pylori disorders are needed.","PeriodicalId":20844,"journal":{"name":"Rawal Medical Journal","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135358942","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}

An online google form was shared with the study participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. The study was completed in six months. Results: Students with higher grades spent most of their time sitting without engaging in mild to moderate or severe physical activity. We found that 43 (21.5%) participants gained 1-5kg, 42 (21%) 5-10kg, 14 (7%) gained more than 10kg. On the other hand, 38 (19%) participants lost 1-5kg, 30 (15%) lost 5-10kg, 18 (9%) lost more than 10kg and 114 (57%) of the participants had no change in weight during the corona pandemic.
