The outcomes achieved by clinical trials depend on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs which are used orally in regular doses once or twice daily. During our routine practice we face an obligatory choice to prescribe NOAC twice daily during the month of Ramadan. Twice daily dose drugs in our practice as well as with Muslim patients everywhere in the world during the holy month of Ramadan. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of NOACs either once daily or twice daily used during the month of Ramadan for stroke prevention in Non-Valvular atrial fibrillation. Methods: An observational study in tertiary university hospital at Saudi Arabia for 114 patient’s non-valvular atrial fibrillation on NOACs during the month of Ramadan 1441 H/ 2019 with laboratory follow ups before Ramadan and one month after for each patient who completed at least 15 days fasting during this Holy month of Ramadan 1441 H/ 2019. Results: 114 patients, 40 were on Rivaroxaban and 74 on Dabigatran, the baseline characteristic are similar except the history of myocardial infarction 28%, and Heart failure 58% in the Rivaroxaban arm which was higher than the Dabigatran arm 9%, & 12%. Regarding the concomitant medications used Aspirin in Rivaroxaban arm 33%, Dabigatran arm 11%, NSAID only Dabigatran arm 8%, %, no significant deferent in the stroke and bleeding events between two arms. Conclusion: The data shows that the Direct oral anticoagulant are effective and safe to be used in Ramadan for non-valvular atrial fibrillation regardless the frequency of anticoagulant , further studies are needed to support these findings in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and other indications.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47916436","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}

Aims: To obtain an association between sleep paralysis and insomnia and sleep quality. Methods: This was a cross sectional examination led on medical undergraduates in a local medical college of Pakistan. A survey containing segment data, a sleep paralysis related questionnaire, a scale for insomnia; Insomnia Severity Index and a scale for sleep quality; Pittsberg Sleep Quality Index was completed by 100 participants. Results: Positive association was found between sleep paralysis and Insomnia and sleep quality with p=-0.11 and d=0.247, p<0.001 and=- 0.417 respectively. Medical undergraduates have high prevalence (52.8%) of sleep paralysis. Also, the high rate of occurrence among the females than males and higher rates in adolescents are particularly of concern. Conclusion: There is a positive association between frequency of occurrence of sleep paralysis and insomnia and sleep quality. Better sleep schedules, enhancement of sleep quality with possible eradication of insomnia should be done in order to prevent terrible experience of sleep paralysis.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45375095","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 a few causes have been put forward, the etiology of the enlargement is largely unknown. Both chronic upper respiratory infections (URI’s) and cor pulmonale (by means of increased right atrial pressure) can hinder venous drainage contributing to increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), thus potentially predisposing a patient to enlargements of their subarachnoid spaces to accommodate for these changes. This study aims to determine if a history of chronic upper respiratory infections and cor pulmonale is correlated to a higher incidence of BESS. Scans and medical records from patients under the age of 2 with either macrocephaly or BESS from 2009-2016 were examined to evaluate this possible association. Incidences of chronic URIs and elevated RAP were statistically significantly higher in the BESS population supporting the proposed aim of the study (p<0.001). Physicians should consider closely monitoring patients with chronic URIs and cor pulmonale for possible BESS and associated sequelae.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45422946","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}

Most cases of herpes simplex keratitis present unilaterally and uncommon occurrences of bilateral cases range from 1.3% to 10.9%. In literature, bilateral herpes simplex keratitis has been reported for patients with atopic disease, corticosteroid use, autoimmune diseases, and UV A light exposure. Our patient had none of these conditions, but she did suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus that was well-controlled. She had no prior history of known herpes simplex disease and tested negative for COVID 19. To date, this is the third reported bilateral herpes simplex keratitis case and the second reported in an elderly patient with shared history of prostaglandin usage and presence of diabetes mellitus. Our rationale for reporting this case is that while it seems to be a rare presentation it could be establishing a pattern. The study explores the relationship between a prostaglandin and HSV activation that may allow viral entrance due to epithelial breakdown. Since our patient did not have any of the previously reported immunocompromised states that have been associated with bilateral herpes keratitis, this case may represent a new pattern for HSV infection. Our clinical methods indicate that close follow-up was crucial to identifying the patient’s eye condition as a bilateral herpes simplex keratitis. Due to this potential pattern of disease, a revised management approach may benefit similar patients by selecting alternative treatments for glaucoma early in the disease presentation.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46950356","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}

A 3-step nonsystematic review was performed. Step 1 was to review articles related to nocturia in multiple databases. Step 2 was to review articles identified in Step 1 for potential new and better drug therapies for nocturia. Step 3 was to review the websites of companies sponsoring new drug therapies. Two categories of potential new drugs were identified. Category 1 drugs include new drugs, new drug combinations, or new routes of administration of drugs that are in the existing class for nocturia. They are: (a) demospressin combined with tamsulosin (an alpha-1 blocker), solifenacin (an antimuscarinic), or furosemide (a diuretic); (b) mirabegron (a β3- agonist) combined with tamsulosin or solifenacin, or new β3-agonists (solabegron and vibegron); (c) tolterodine (an antimuscarinic agent) combined with pilocarpine (a short-acting muscarinic agonist selective for salivary gland receptors); and (d) intravesical instillation of botulinum toxin A. Category 2 drugs are new drugs with novel molecular targets. They include Paxerol (prostaglandin E2 inhibitors) and Fedovapagon (a vasopressin V2 receptor agonist). Conclusion: Category 1 potential new drug therapies have improved efficacy and/or tolerability compared to parent drugs. Due to novel molecular targets, Category 2 drugs provide additional treatment options, especially in patients who have failed current therapies, current unsatisfactory, or cannot tolerate current drug therapies.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46419973","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}

Methods: For each skin substitute product, three data points were central to the analysis: Number of applications over a 12-week course of treatment; complete healing efficacy over a 12-week course of treatment; product cost per application; the number of applications and complete healing efficacy were obtained from seven established published clinical studies. Inclusion/Exclusion criteria included either a randomized controlled trial, prospective cohort, or retrospective cohort design that included at least two study arms; reported wound healing at 12 or 16 weeks, reported number of application of products used to achieve healing and a minimum 40 subjects in the primary treatment arm. Due to the complexities of cost-benefit analysis and difficulties encountered when comparing research (i.e. different run-in periods, numbers of subjects and variable endpoints) the study selection for Apligraf, Dermagraft, Grafix and Epifix used inclusion/exclusion criteria from Samsell et al. For Actigraft, study selection was limited to a pilot study. to the four (4) other advanced products analyzed. However, the ActiGraft data sourced from a pilot study presents limitations for comparison with studies meeting Samsell’s criteria. It is the authors’ intention to update this analysis when future published studies meet this benchmark.","PeriodicalId":93074,"journal":{"name":"Annals of reviews and research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45599637","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}
