Materials and Methods: As a focus group discussion, it was universal sampling, conducted among 39 of Medical Science and Biomedicine students on their second semester from Management and Science University (MSU), Shah Alam, Malaysia. Three issues were discussed: firstly, how they define the stress; secondly, what the most important causes of stress in their life are; and thirdly, how they cope with stress. Verbal consent was obtained from all participants. Due to the small sample size, the data was analyzed manually. Results: Total of participants were 39 students, their age ranged from 21 to 26 years. Seventeen (43.6%) of the students were 21 years old and the majority were female 31 (79.5%). The most important causes of stress reported by the students were financial, lack of sleep, and family problems. In terms of coping with stress, the students were able to describe a variety of strategies to cope with their stressful situations. These included counseling services, doing meditation, sharing of problems, getting adequate sleep, and going out with friends. Conclusion: Most of the students defined stress as “a mental condition”. Lack of sleep, financial, and family problems were the most causes of stress among students. The students were able to identify some strategies to cope with stress.","PeriodicalId":53575,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Journal Malaysia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48001778","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}

Results: The mean daily calcium intake was 689.08±393.15 mg. Majority of subjects had low or moderate physical activity levels. Only 8% of women reported high physical activity level. Knowledge about osteoporosis in majority of subjects (63.2%) was at moderate level. Educational status of subjects was positively correlated with calcium intake. There were no significant statistics relationship between calcium intake and physical activity with other studied variables. Conclusion: Public health programs are suggested to improve calcium intake of women and elevating healthy life styles.

The prevalence of hypertension nearly doubled over a ten-year period (1986 – 1996). This has resulted in a significant rise in its attendant cost. We aim to review the institutional anti-hypertensive use, the cost incurred and the implications on management in our local setting. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of the annual cost (2006) of anti-hypertensive medications was undertaken at the Department of Pharmacy, Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, a 600-bed major regional hospital on the east-coast of Malaysia. The total number of prescriptions given out and the total cost per drug is then factored to give the annual cost per drug per person in a percentage of the total annual expenditure.Results: The majority of patients were on either 2 (46.5%) or 3 (25.9%) anti-hypertensives. The most frequently prescribed medications were ACE Inhibitors (33.45%), Calcium channel blockers (29.63%), diuretics (16.67%) and s-blockers (13.64%). In terms of cost however, the Calcium channel blockers constituted the greatest percentage of the annual anti-hypertensive budget (63.67%) compared to ACE Inhibitors at just 20.04% of the annual expenditure. The least costly group of drugs is the diuretic making up 16.67% of the total annual prescriptions but only constituting 1.23% of the annual cost. Conclusion: The majority of patients were on ACE Inhibitors and/or Calcium channel blockers. This has huge monetary implications as they represent a large proportion of the annual antihypertensive allocation. There may be a need to reverse the trend in the developing world due to cost restrictions.

It changes its genome under the selection pressure of antibiotics. Methicillin resistance is commonly determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method which has low sensitivity and specificity. Thus, anti PBP-2a latex agglutination test was used to confirm the identity of those labeled as MRSA. Materials and Methods: One hundred bacterial samples characterized as MRSA according to Kirby-Bauer diffusion method were collected from different hospitals in Lahore. Results: Biochemical characterization of these MRSA isolates revealed that only 64 (64%) were actually S. aureus while the other 36 isolates (36%) were coagulase negative staphylococci. Further serological characterization revealed that among the 64 isolates of S. aureus, 50 (78%) were MRSA while 14 (22%) were MSSA. Conclusion: Therefore, overall, 50% of the bacterial strains were misidentified as MRSA. Misdiagnosis of antibiotic resistance may lead to an inappropriate prescription of medicines to these patients.
