Objective: Worldwide studies indicate that allergic reactions to drug(s) are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. However, the epidemiological data regarding drug allergies is limited in our community. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of self-reported drug allergic reactions among medical students of Peshawar.Mat...
Oral diseases caused by various microorganisms are common around the world. Scientific research has now been focusing on novel medicines to overcome bacterial resistance and antibiotics side effects; therefore, the current study was designed to assess the efficacy of certain antibiotics, toothpaste, and medicinal plant extracts (Ajuga bracteosa and...
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely known for their probiotic activities for centuries. These bacteria synthesise some secretory proteinaceous toxins, bacteriocins, which help destroy similar or interrelated bacterial strains. This study was aimed at characterising bacteriocins extracted from Lactobacillus spp. found in yoghurt and assessing thei...
Background & objectives: Pre-hypertension is associated with an increased risk of the development of hypertension and subsequent increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of pre-hypertension among the adults of department of health Sciences, NCS University system. Materials and methods: In this...
Background:
Escherichia coli various strains can cause alarmingly serious infections. Countries like Pakistan harbour the class of bacteria with one of the highest rates of resistance, but very little has been done to explore their genetic pool.
Objectives:
This study was designed to find out the frequency of virulence genes of Uropathogenic E....
Background:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major pathogen associated with acute tissue damage in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Antibiotic resistance in P. aeruginosa often bodes unpredictable and unfavourable clinical outcomes, owing to a variety of intrinsic and acquired molecular mechanisms. The study aimed to determine the freq...
Statement of the Problem: Multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria are the cause of nosocomial infections. Rapid increase
of antibiotics confers bacteria to resist and survive antimicrobials. Certain species of lactic acid bacteria are reported that
secrete ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins. These peptides recogni...
Questions
Questions (4)
Porin channels are present in epithelium (GIT) and endothelium (blooe vessels) for permeation of hydrophilic substances. Then why highly hydrophilic drugs are given I/V instead of oral route?
why dose of metronidazole is 500 mg in iv infusion unlikely 400mg in tablet form?
In descriptive cross-sectional studies, is it logical/reasonable to use any statistical tests( e.g. chi-square) to find association between two qualitative variables and then name them a potential risk factor for outcome X?
or
we can simply on looking at high percentages (e.g if its high in case group as compared to control group) can declared it a potential risk factor?
is it true that main difference between prevalence and frequency epidemiological studies is of sampling technique? Like to my knowledge, prevalence studies always involves random sampling technique unlike non-random sampling technique. so that we could get a sample which is true representative of study population?
please share your knowledge regarding this matter....
