AstraZeneca vaccine already provided promising effectiveness data. Still, the study must check the correlation between vaccination and antibody titer. Aim: This study aims to evaluate antibody titer after AstraZeneca vaccination based on the age group. Materials and Methods: This study used a prospective cross-sectional method with convenience sampling. Inclusion criteria were all Indonesian citizens above 18 years old who were vaccinated at UTA'45 Jakarta Vaccine Center with no history of COVID-19 before the vaccination and had filled up the informed consent. Results: This study's total sample was 102 females; 51.90%, residents of Java Island; 91.17% had comorbidities; 50,98%, smokers; 9,80%, alcohol drinker; 9,80%, exercise; 80,39%, blood pressure; 128/73, SpO2: 97,82. Most participants aged around 30 years had a body mass index of 23.33. Age, comorbidity, smoking, alcohol, and exercise habit significantly correlate with the increase of the participants' antibodies (P < 0.001). The age shows that the younger the participant, the higher the titer antibody 2 will be (P = 0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI], −1.935, −0.694). The exercise shows that the participant with the routine practice will have a higher titer antibody 2 (P = 0.002, 95% CI, 12.016, 51.791). Antibody titer for participants younger than 35 years old increased 5.7 times while for participants between 35 and 45 years old was 3.9 times. Another group (>45–55 years old) has shown an improvement in antibody titer at 1.7 times, but the last group (>55 years old) described an increase in antibody titer at 232.3 times. Conclusions: Age, comorbidity, smoking, alcohol, and exercise contributed to the increase in titer antibody 2 value of the AstraZeneca vaccine participants. Participants in the age group <35 years have an excellent immune system.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84647477","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}

Chronic neck pain causes hyperalgesia in soft tissues around the neck, and in severe cases, it leads to restriction of daily life activities. The excessive stress caused by the chronic pain leads to cervico-ocular gain, leading to a mismatch of reflexes that determine the gaze and vision. Chronic neck pain also alters the cervicothoracic kinematic change and length-tension changes in neck muscles and leads to decreased thoracic cage mobility. This leads to respiratory insufficiency in patients with chronic neck pain, which is similar to the changes that occur in cases of a neuromuscular disorder. Objective: The objective of this study was to find the effect of neck rehabilitation exercises and breathing exercises on visual complaints in individuals with idiopathic chronic neck pain. Materials and Methods: Thirty individuals with idiopathic chronic neck pain of both sexes ranging from 20 to 35 years were included according to the selection criteria and divided into two groups. Group A (n = 15) received the intervention for neck pain, whereas Group B (n = 15) did not receive any interventions. Outcome Measures: Neck disability Index, Visual Complain Index and NPRS are used as outcome measures. Results: Statistical analysis was done using SBM SPSS software version 20, which showed that there was a significant improvement in NDI in the experimental group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a significant effect of neck rehabilitation exercises and breathing exercises on visual complaints in individuals with idiopathic chronic neck pain.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75793468","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: To create awareness among health-care professionals about the drug safety alerts (DSAs) issued by the National Coordination Centre for Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (NCC-PvPI) till December 2022 and to reiterate the importance of spontaneous reporting of adverse events for better patient care. Methodology: A retrospective analysis of 141 DSAs issued from March 2016 to December 2022 was done. The ADRs were analyzed for the type of reactions, system organ class, and according to drug class. Microsoft Office 2007 was used to formulate the data and presented it in a descriptive manner using numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 141 DSAs under analysis, 101 individual drugs, 2 drug classes, and 7 drug combinations have developed 144 ADRs. These ADRs were compressed into 86 different types as similar ADRs were caused by more than one drug. Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms is the most common ADR noticed, followed by skin manifestations such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, skin hyperpigmentation, fixed drug eruption, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema, and photosensitivity reaction. The most common causative drugs for ADRs were antimicrobial agents, cephalosporins being the most commonly implicated medication class. Conclusions: Most of the ADRs advised to closely monitor by the NCC-PvPI through DSAs were treatable by early and appropriate management. Due to the high number of skin manifestations observed in the analysis, the role of dermatologists in taking detailed drug history is critical when making a differential diagnosis of skin lesions. Motivation and creating awareness among health-care professionals and patients to spontaneously report adverse events can only strengthen the pharmacovigilance system in India.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88718694","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 plant pigment provides cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, asthma, and many more health benefits. Objective: The aim of this study is to quantify the quercetin by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method from the methanolic leaf extracts of three edible plants of Bengal, viz., Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L., Oxalis corniculata L., and Polygonum plebeium R.Br. Materials and Methods: HPTLC was carried out on aluminum-backed plate precoated with silica gel 60 F254, using the solvent system of toluene, ethyl acetate, formic acid, and methanol (5.5:3:1:0.5 v/v/v/v). The method validation was done according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines in terms of linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, and specificity. Results: The desired compound was well separated using the solvent system toluene, ethyl acetate, formic acid, and methanol (5.5:3:1:0.5 v/v/v/v) which gave a sharp and well-defined band with Rf 0.60 for quercetin. The calibration curves showed a good linear correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9774). The linearity range was found to be 20–100 (μg/spot). Among the selected plants, the highest amount of quercetin was found in the leaf extracts of O. corniculata L. (220.035 ± 0.06 mg/100 g) and the lowest for N. arbor-tristis L. (31.253 ± 0.99 mg/100 g). Conclusion: The proposed HPTLC method for quercetin estimation was found to be simple, cost-effective, precise, and accurate and can be used for the quality control of plant material.

PN formulations containing modified AA solutions with 15% arginine were tested in this study. Aims: This study aims to design a stability testing protocol and assign a shelf life to the modified PN formulations being tested. Methods: Physical tests including appearance, pH, optical rotation, ultraviolet absorbance, and subvisible particle count tests as well as chemical analysis using AA assay were performed in this study. Results: Resampling of PN bag samples posed a risk for oxidation and hence single sampling of fresh PN bags for each test point is the best practice for PN stability testing trials. AA assay is a feasible method to ensure AA stability in PN formulations.

Classical landmark-based right superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) has been utilized to alleviate postlaparoscopic shoulder pain. However, there is no possibility of phrenic nerve blockade with subcutaneously deposited injectate in landmark-based SCPB. Therefore, we hypothesized that the local anesthetic injectate in the sternocleidomastoid-scalene intermuscular fascial plane under ultrasound guidance is paramount in achieving phrenic nerve blockade. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided right SCPB in decreasing postlaparoscopic shoulder pain compared to conventional landmark-guided SCPB. Methods: In this prospective randomized trial, 79 adult patients reported for laparoscopic surgeries under spinal anesthesia were randomly divided into groups; A and B. Group A patients received intermediate approach to SCPB with 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance. Group B patients received SCPB using a classical landmark-based approach. The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative shoulder pain and other adverse effects were noted. Results: Intraoperative shoulder pain was significantly less in Group A than in Group B (5% vs. 43.5%, P < 0.001). The postoperative shoulder pain was also significantly reduced in Group A than in Group B (5% vs. 28.2%, P = 0.013). There were no instances of major adverse effects. Conclusion: We conclude that the ultrasound-guided injectate in the sternocleidomastoid-scalene intermuscular space deeper to investing layer but superficial to the prevertebral layer of the deep cervical fascia is central to providing superior shoulder pain relief in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under spinal anesthesia than the classical landmark-based SCPB.","PeriodicalId":8534,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135106014","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}
