We aimed to study the extent of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C patients with indeterminate APRI score of ≥ 0.5 - ≤2 (between higher and lower cut off value) and correlate it to transient elastography (TE) and FIB 4 index.

A cross-sectional study, 80 patients with CHC mono infection, APRI score ≥ 0.5 - ≤2 were interviewed from the cohort visiting the CHC program clinic at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Data were analyzed using STATA 14.0 and R 3.5.2 and SPSS 24.0 software according to their capabilities.

Of 80 patients, 50 (62.5%) were females and 30 (37.5%) were males with mean (±SD) ages of 41.73 (±11.5) years and 41.16 (±9.24) years respectively. Orludodstat The FIB 4 value among indeterminate APRI was reported as 1.47 (IQR 1.05-2.43). TE categories was reported F0-F1 (

= 29; 36%), F1-F2 (

= 10; 12.5%), F2 (

= 9; 11.2%) F3 (

= 13; 16.2%), F3-F4 (

= 1; 1.2%) F4 (

= 18; 22.5%). FIB4 had a moderate positive correlation with TE while a weak positive correlation was found between APRI and TE (0.488,

< 0.0001 and 0.289,

< 0.001, respectively). link2 TE was taken as a gold standard and compared with FIB4. The model constructed reported FIB4 as a good prediction for liver fibrosis with diagnostic accuracy 72%.

The combination of two serum markers proves to be a low-cost noninvasive testing strategy for CHC patients having an indeterminate APRI score. By being readily accessible both biochemical scores can simplify liver assessment in lower middle-income countries (LMIC) and help family physicians to take appropriate decisions about treatment initiation with minimum delays.

The parental awareness and perceptions help in early recognition of problems in deciduous dentition, which will help us plan better preventive measures. Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the perceptions of Saudi parents residing in Riyadh towards the problems related to primary dentition of their children.

A cross-sectional study was conducted on the patients attending private dental institution in Riyadh city. Information about demographic details, questions related to maintenance of primary teeth, and future implications of poor primary dentition health were collected. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used for the analysis. The level of significance was set at

< 0.05.

A total of 1773 male and females filled up the survey form, which comprised of 28% males and 72% females, and maximum parents (68%) were university graduates. Overall better responses were in females and parents having more children.

Over all mothers had a higher level of knowledge and positive attitude towards their children's oral health as compared to fathers. Developing and strengthening optimistic outlook among parents towards oral health especially primary dentition is utmost important.

It is imperative to acknowledge that COVID-19 poses significant burden on the psychological well-being of people. With implementation of lockdown and measures like quarantine, the mental health of people is affected, and the associated problems may range from depression to suicidal ideation. With this background, the aim of this study was to assess COVID-19 anxiety among general population of the state of Andhra Pradesh.

This cross-sectional study assessed the COVID-19 anxiety among the population of Andhra Pradesh using COVID-19 Anxiety Scale (CAS-7), a seven-item validated psychometric instrument which assesses the cognitive, emotional, and physiological dimensions of COVID-19 anxiety, using a semantic differential scale. The final sample constituted 1,346 participants. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20 software (IBM SPSS statistics for Windows version 20, Armonk, NY, USA).

The mean age of the study participants was 36.13 ± 10.2 years, and 55.8% were males. Orludodstat The mean CAS-7 score in this study was found to be 18.9 ± 6.4. The item with highest mean scores was "How concerned are you when people cough or sneeze because of the fear that you may acquire COVID-19?" No significant differences in CAS-7 scores were found based on gender, educational qualification of the participants, while significant differences were observed based on place of residence, presence of COVID-19 affected individuals in close surroundings, tobacco, and alcohol consumption.

The results of this study inform that it is imperative for authorities and health care professionals to focus on the mental health aspect of COVID-19 and arrange for necessary support mechanisms.

Anemia is a serious public health concern especially in women of reproductive age (WRA) as it causes a high burden of morbidity and mortality and persists through intergenerational cycle. As most of the risk factors are preventable, a thorough understanding of its risk factors is necessary to design better interventions.

Current study aimed to estimate the burden of anemia as well as explore determinants of various grades of anemia among WRA in a rural area.

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among non-pregnant, non-lactating women of reproductive age in rural field practice area of All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health.

House to house visit was conducted for interviewing with pre-designed pre-tested questionnaire along with blood hemoglobin and anthropometric measurement.

Descriptive statistics and test of significance like multinomial logistic regression and Kruskal-Wallis test (with post-hoc) were used.

Majority (70.8%) of participants were anemic. Proportion of mild, moderate, and severe anemia were 24.16%, 37.5%, and 9.16%, respectively. link2 Different levels of anemia were significantly associated with higher age, lower education, poor iron-rich food intake, lack of dietary diversity, and adiposity. Significantly low hemoglobin level in both underweight and obesity was noticed suggesting U shaped relationship between BMI and anemia.

Periodic screening for anemia among WRA especially in both extremes of malnutrition, i.e., undernutrition and obesity should be considered at the policy level. Year-round behaviour change communication campaigns must be carried out for the promotion of necessary food groups in diet.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent and severe complication in cirrhotic patients with ascites. SBP is generally diagnosed based on an increased number of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the ascitic fluid (>250/mm

) and positive culture. Usually fluid analysis and culture take time and precious hours are lost in starting therapy. Leukocyte Esterase Reagent Strips (LERS) have consistently given a high negative predictive value (>95% in the majority of the studies).

Aim was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of leukocyte esterase reagent strip for rapid diagnosis of SBP in patients who underwent abdominal paracentesis and to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values.

The study was carried out on 64 patients with ascites. Cell count of AF as determined by colorimetric scale of Multistix 10 SG reagent strip was compared with counting chamber method (PMNL count ≥250 cells/mm

was considered positive).

Of the 64 patients SBP was diagnosed in 17 patients, 47 patients were negative for SBP by manual cell count. link2 At cut off of 2+; sensitivity to diagnose SBP was 100%; specificity of 94%; PPV being 57% and NPV of 94%. at the cut off level of 3+; sensitivity decreased down to 76%; specificity increased to 100%; PPV of 100% and NPV of 93.75%. Overall accuracy at 2 + and 3 + was respectively 94.5% and 93.75%.

In this study we have found good sensitivity and specificity for the prompt detection of elevated polymorphonuclear neutrophil count. A negative test result excludes SBP with a high degree of certainty. Thus, it represents a convenient, inexpensive, simple bedside screening tool for SBP diagnosis.

Epilepsy is said to be intractable when two or more trials of anticonvulsants fail to control the seizures. link3 Literature suggests that intractable epilepsy carries a higher morbidity than controlled epilepsy in children and their caregivers.

The aim of this study is to assess the quality of life (QOL) in children with intractable epilepsy (IE) in KASCH, a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This is a cross-sectional study utilizing a self-administered questionnaire filled by caregivers of epileptic patients visiting the outpatient neurology clinics.

The quality of life in childhood epilepsy (QOLCE-55) scale examined four domains of life cognitive, emotional, social, and physical. link3 The sample consisted of 59 parents whose children aged 4-14 of either sex.

The collected data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.

The mean age of children was 8.9 (SD = 2.9). The mean QOL was 52.8 (SD = 12.9), which reflected a poor QOL. Age was not related to the QOL.
