Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive ADMET analysis of leucoxol, a promising phytochemical with strong docking scores against leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (PDB ID-5Y30). Methods: Auto Dock Vina was employed for in silico analysis to predict binding affinities. Leucoxol exhibited significantly higher binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) than ethosuximide (-4.9 kcal/mol), suggesting superior anticonvulsant potential. We thoroughly examined leucoxol’s ADMET profile to assess its pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties. Results: Comparative analysis indicated that leucoxol may be a more effective anticonvulsant with reduced toxicity compared to ethosuximide. It displayed strong binding and a favorable ADMET profile. Conclusion: Phytochemicals from Acacia farnesiana, especially leucoxol, exhibit promising binding affinities compared to ethosuximide, indicating their potential as anticonvulsant agents. Leucoxol, in particular, demonstrates strong anticonvulsant potential and a favorable ADMET profile, making it a candidate for further research as an anticonvulsant with reduced toxicity. However, additional experimental and clinical investigations are needed to confirm their efficacy and safety in treating convulsive disorders.","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":"135106018","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}

Determination of DRPs daily is a promising approach for optimizing treatment. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of DRPs identified along with the risk factors that contribute to its development. Setting: This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Central Kerala, India. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 newly admitted patients to the general medicine department. Patient medical records were reviewed in 3 stages – medication reconciliation, medication order review, and discharge summary review, and DRPs were categorized based on the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe V9.1. Patient characteristics such as age, gender, polypharmacy, comorbidities, nonadherence, and type of illness were recorded. Results: Out of 300 patients, 78.7% had DRPs. The incidence of DRPs was found to be 0.26 cases/people-months. Although age >60 years, gender, polypharmacy, nonadherence, comorbidities, and chronic ailments were risk factors for DRPs, only polypharmacy and comorbidities could be proven statistically. Conclusion: DRPs are an emerging issue within the confines of the health-care system and should be scrutinized to avoid negative outcomes. A stage-wise analysis of patients who are at risk will ensure better patient care.","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":"85493514","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}

Although various surgical techniques were used, poor outcomes are frequently encountered, and complications are highly prevalent. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of pilon fractures treated with a two-stage technique. Materials and Methods: The study included patients with tibial pilon fractures who had undergone two-stage procedures in King Saud Medical City (April 2017–March 2022). Fractures were categorized based on the Arbeitsgemeinschaftfur Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification method. Outcomes were measured by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system. Results: Twenty-one patients had tibial pilon fracture. Open fractures were seen in 23.8%, the majority was Gustilo type II in 60%. The mean follow-up was 24.7 months. The majority (47.6%) was AO type 43-B. Osteoarthritis was developed in 61.9%, and none mandates arthrodesis. Mean AOFAS was 86.91 points, it was excellent in 38.1%. Type 43 C fracture significantly had a poorer AOFAS score (P = 0.021). AOFAS score was significantly affected by fracture grade and association with fibular fracture, P = 0.025, and P = 0.019, respectively. Conclusion: Treatment for severe pilon fractures with a two-stage protocol yields favorable outcomes. Fewer soft-tissue complications and better articular reconstruction were the main benefits.","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":"135104440","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}

Materials and Methods: The biochemical antioxidant assays that used were total phenols and flavonoids, total antioxidant capacity, ferric reducing power and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging. Results: The maximum antioxidant capacity and the ferric-reducing power of the examined plant extracts were shown in P. palaestina/methanol whereas N. sativa L./methanol was the lowest. The maximum scavenging activity of DPPH was shown in N. sativa L./acetone (IC50 = 2688 μg/ml), followed by, V. triphylla/acetone (IC50 = 573.5 μg/ml), N. sativa/methanol (IC50 = 437.7 μg/ml), V. triphylla/methanol (IC50 = 64 μg/ml), and P. palaestina methanol and acetone extracts (IC50 = 9.5 μ/g) being the lowest. Conclusion: The findings with methanol extract of P. palaestina methanol shown the highest antioxidant property which and can be due to the presence of high quantity of phenols and flavonoids in the methanol extract of this plant; moreover, N. sativa acetone extract has maximum DPPH-free radical scavenging activity. This may be because the acetone extract demonstrated capabilities to scavenge radicals remarkably for Nigella sativa L seeds.","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":"135106008","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}

There are various preventive strategies against SSIs such as proper surgical technique, strict asepsis in the operating theater, control of infection within the hospital or general practice, and antibiotic prophylaxis. Widespread use of prophylactic antibiotics has the disadvantage of the emergence of multiresistant organisms. Thus, the implementation of proper surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) practice is highly recommended to assess the pattern of SAP practiced in a tertiary care hospital in southern India. Subjects and Methods: A prospective, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital where data were collected from 175 inpatients admitted to the surgical ward. The pattern of SAP practice was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The pattern of antibiotic prophylaxis revealed that the most commonly used agents were third-generation cephalosporins (57.71%), followed by broad-spectrum penicillins (18.86%), second-generation cephalosporins (13.71%), fluoroquinolones (4.57%), and antiamebic drugs (13.14%) mainly for gastrointestinal surgeries. Conclusions: Assessing the pattern of antimicrobial prophylaxis will help us to determine the appropriateness of the drugs prescribed with respect to the procedure and will help us to give feedback to the clinician and policymakers regarding the need for improvement in case of deviation in the practice compared to the guidelines given in the hospital antibiotic policy.","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":"135106191","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}

Aim: This study aims to explore clinical outcomes and factors affecting VTE among COVID-19 patients. Settings and Design: The study design involved a retrospective cohort study. Study Methods: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients in a tertiary hospital prescribed subcutaneous (SC) anticoagulants were included. Statistical Analysis Used: Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine factors affecting VTE among subjects. Results: A total of 450 patients were included. Types of anticoagulants include fondaparinux (n = 114, 38.1%), enoxaparin (n = 113, 37.8%), and heparin (n = 72, 24.1%). 423 (94.0%) patients were discharged well, 27 (6.0%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The primary outcome was the prevalence of VTE, which occurred in 19.3% (n = 87) patients, with 80 (92.0%) reporting DVT and 7 (8.0%) reporting PE. The secondary outcome, which was the average length of hospital stay was 9.9 (±4.7) days. Factors of VTE occurrence were likely in patients not prescribed SC anticoagulants compared to those prescribed with SC anticoagulants (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 54.330, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.086, 416.526), treatment with fondaparinux compared to heparin (aOR 2.502, 95% CI: 1.175, 5.327), and less likely in those discharged well compared to patients in the ICU (aOR 0.139, 95% CI: 0.053, 0.361).
