Methodology:The Department of Physiology at the University of Health Sciences in Lahore undertook this observational, correlational study from March 2018 to February 2019. The Services Institute of Medical Services (SIMS), Lahore's medical OPD and diabetic centers were used to select 95 hypertension patients between the ages of 30 and 60, divided into 2 groups. Anthropometric parameters, as well as Blood Sugar Random (BSR) and serum Vitamin D were recorded. Urine samples for evaluating angiotensin converting enzyme 2 were collected.Results: Urinary ACE2 showed negative correlation with serum Vitamin D level (r=-0.336, p=0.034) in group A non-diabetic hypertensive patients, but not in group B diabetic hypertensive patients (r=0.07, p=0.677). Despite somewhat greater vitamin D levels in group B, this difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion: There was no link between ACE2 and blood Vitamin D levels in the diabetic hypertensive patients, despite the fact that we hypothesised that vitamin D would be considered as a viable treatment alternative for treating these individuals. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":434894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123485419","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 finalised keywords were put in data bases of Pub-Med, Pakmedinet, and ERIC, revealing a total of 12084 articles. Google Scholar was used as grey literature search leading to 2509 articles. 10056 out of 10087 were removed upon initial screening. A total of 31 met the eligibility criteria according to PRISMA guidelines, out of which 23 were excluded leaving a final count of 8 articles to be included in the study.Results: The ethical issues identified in the selected studies were, Distributive Justice, Autonomy, Rights to withdraw, Coercion into Study, Confidentiality, Informed Consent, Equity in participant selection, Awareness of research participation. Four out of eight studies failed to openly declare the rights of the students to participate voluntarily, while five out of eight studies failed to declare students having rights to withdraw. Three out of eight studies lacked distributive justice of educational content among different groups whereas two studies lacked methodological rigor on participant selection.Conclusion: During the recruitment of students for research, researchers need to be aware of ethical issues and devise a strategy to address them. These issues should be thoroughly addressed before Institutional Review Boards approve data collection. Institutes promoting such research can train and educate researchers by practicing ethical research protocols.","PeriodicalId":434894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116044505","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}

Dementia is one such condition that prevails among older patients. This survey collates the effects of various demographic characteristics on depression and suicidal tendencies among the adult population with dementia across India. \u0000Methodology: This was a cross-sectional online survey that included 402 elderly patients (45 years and above) with dementia from different states of India conducted between June 2017 to June 2018. Depression and suicidal tendencies were dichotomized as No-“0” and Yes-“1’. Other explored variables in respect to depression and suicidal tendencies among patients with dementia were age, gender, area of living, wealth index, education, caste, religion, marital status, living arrangement, social security. \u0000Results: Age, gender and place of living had a significant effect on developing depression among adults with dementia (P<0.05). Factors such as education, wealth index, caste, religion, marital status, living alone or not and the presence or absence of social security didn’t have a significant effect on depression amongst people with dementia (p>0.05). In case of emerging suicidal tendencies among patients with dementia all the mentioned categories didn’t show significant changes. \u0000Conclusion: The patients with dementia had a greater inclination towards developing suicidal tendencies. Suicidal tendencies didn’t change significantly with age, gender, education, wealth, caste, social security, place of living, living arrangements, and marital status. Depression showed significant effect in terms of gender i.e. female and rural areas. Other socioeconomic characteristics didn’t establish significant effect on developing depressive symptoms and dementia.","PeriodicalId":434894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121805978","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}

This included a sample size of 80 patients who were divided into two groups of 40 each. The first group was the control group which received verbal information before the extraction of teeth under local anesthesia. The second group was the study group and was shown a video clip containing information about the procedure and non-probability consecutive sampling was carried out. Statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 25.Results: Pre-operative anxiety scores in both the groups undergoing extractions revealed the patients were relatively anxious before undergoing dental extraction. A pre-operative comparison drawn between the groups showed the data to be statistically insignificant (p-value=0.222). Verbal communication and the use of audio-visual aid for Group 2 resulted in a decrease in anxiety scores. Group 1 showed a mean anxiety score of 5.4 whereas Group 2 showed 28% reduction in anxiety with a mean of 4.6. The data was found to be statistically significant (p-value<0.001). Similarly a postoperative comparison between the two groups revealed drastic decrease in dental distress and anxiety score for the patients in Group 2 with p<0.001 with the results being statistically significant. Pre-operative and post-operative paired sample statistics of these groups showed 55% reduction postoperatively in Group 2 as compared to Group 1 which showed only 27% reduction in anxiety levels.Conclusion: By showing a tooth extraction video to patients before surgery, dentists can reduce the dental anxiety and panic associated with local anesthetic dental extractions.","PeriodicalId":434894,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University College of Medicine and Dentistry","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122798878","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}
