Hospital doctors’ views of, collaborations with and expectations of clinical pharmacists

Objective The collaboration between doctors and clinical pharmacists is a key factor in the provision of drug therapy and the continuity of patient care. The aim of this study was to explore the views of hospital doctors on the clinical role of pharmacists, barriers to interaction with them and their expectations of them. Methods A self-administered survey was conducted among a representative sample of doctors (n=400) recruited in hospitals in the Madinah region of Saudi Arabia; 270 surveys were returned, yielding a 67.5% response rate. Key findings Most doctors knew about clinical pharmacy (85.19%), but only 42.96% of them were aware of the existence of clinical pharmacy services in their hospital. Nearly three-quarters of doctors (74.07%) were willing to collaborate with a clinical pharmacist despite existing barriers that hinder interprofessional collaboration. Approximately 67.78% of the doctors strongly agreed or agreed that a clinical pharmacist was a reliable source of drug information. The most common queries from doctors to pharmacists were about drug alternatives (46.29%), drug interactions (39.26%), drug availability (37.77%), side effects (34.81%), drug dosage (26.29%), drug indications (24.81%), drug costs (21.48%) or other (7.41%). Only 19.63% of respondents would always accept a pharmacist’s modification to a prescription. Most of the doctors (70%) expected the clinical pharmacist to advise them on rational use of drugs, to resolve drug-related problems and to counsel patients. Conclusions Doctors widely accept that clinical pharmacists can make a great contribution to the provision of drug therapy. However, strong interprofessional collaboration between doctors and clinical pharmacists is needed to optimise patient care.
DETERMINANTS OF EQUITY SHARE PRICES OF LISTED DEPOSIT MONEY BANKS IN NIGERIA

The study investigated the fundamental determinants of equity share prices of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study specifically examined the nature and direction of causality among macroeconomic factors, industry-specific factors, firm-specific factors and share prices. This is with the view to providing empirical evidence on the nature and relationship among macroeconomic factors, industry-specific factors, firm-specific factors and equity share price of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The data on macroeconomic variables were sourced from Central Bank Nigeria statistical bulletin, while data on industry-specific factors and firm-specific factors were obtained from the bank’s annual reports and accounts for the period 2011 to 2015. Panel data regression analysis was used to determine the nature of relationship among the four classes of variables, while the pair wise granger causality test was used to ascertain the direction of causality among the variables. Result showed that the macroeconomic factors (GDP and INTR), industry-specific factor (SBC) and firm-specific factor (DPS) are significant determinants of market price of shares. This result was also confirmed by the causality result which showed that macroeconomic factors, industry-specific factors and firm specific factors granger cause market price of shares. It is therefore recommended that private investors, institutional investors and financial analyst consider all these factors when making investment decision.
Employing parent-teacher collaboration to enhance intrinsic motivation, creating a positive classroom climate and improved academic achievements In Arab School in Israel

This study investigated ways in which intrinsic motivation can be enhanced to improve learning achievements and the correlation between motivation and classroom climate in an Arab public high school in Israel.187 school students in Grade 11 participated in the study which involved two main stages: (a) the investigation stage: examining the classroom climate, intrinsic motivation, sense of affiliation to the school, sense of wellbeing, and academic achievements in core disciplines, in addition to other relevant variables. (b) the implementation stage: this stage was performed with a set of workshops for teachers and parents over a period of six months, aimed at helping parents and teachers to improve the students’ intrinsic motivation for learning. After the workshops, a questionnaire was administered for a second time to the students who had taken part in the investigation stage. Findings from the questionnaires revealed a positive correlation between students’ level of achievements and the level of their intrinsic motivation, sense of belonging to the school and sense of wellbeing, and their perception of the classroom climate. All these components were found to have higher values among female students than among male students. It was concluded that the use of principles encouraging intrinsic motivation improved the level of the different components. Moreover, it was found that the use of these principles that encouraged intrinsic motivation only improved academic achievements among the male students, while among the female students the use of the same principles improved all the components.

HBV and HCV Seroprevalence and the Predominant HCV Genotypes in a Hospital Setting in Cameroon

Infectious diseases are a substantial threat to global health. Hepatitis viral infections are life threatening infections, responsible for most liver cirrhosis and cancers. In order to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections; as well as the HCV genotypes of the collected isolates, a study was conducted at a hospital setting in Cameroon. Enzyme immunoassays were used for HBV and HCV screening tests; HCV genotypes and subtypes were determined using standard molecular biology and genomic techniques that involved RT-PCR, gene cloning, DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics tools. The results showed that 14.15% of the study populations were screened HBV positive; whereas 24.82% were diagnosed HCV positive. The seroprevalence was higher in men: 12.75% and 16.1% respectively for HBV and HCV infections. The majority of HBV infected were younger, whereas HCV infected people were older. HCV genotypes 1 and 4 were identified. These findings are useful for policy making in Cameroon. Furthermore, the HCV clones generated in the present study might constitute useful and representative molecular tools for vaccine and drug development.

Isolation and Identification of Multidrug Resistant and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Bovine

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major causes of mastitis in dairy animals and its resistance against multiple antimicrobials always remains crucial concern. It is also a common resident of skin and nasal mucosa of human and animals (Lee, 2003). In recent past, a group of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to beta lactam has emerged as great threat to public causing nosocomial and community acquired infections (Pesavento et al., 2007). These are known as Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA infected farm animals can easily disseminate the pathogen to their milk, meat and farm workers. There are evidences of existence of MRSA in animals and their transmission between man and animals (Farreira et al., 2011; Christaine et al., 2015; Smith, 2015). The present study was designed to isolate and characterize International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7692 Special Issue-7 pp. 230-238 Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Intake of Powdered Tea Supplemented with Moringa oleifera Leaf Attenuates Some Haematological Parameters in Malnourished Children

Intake of tea supplemented with Moringaoleifera is common in many rural communities in Nigeria whereas there is paucity of information on the effect of this on haematological indices of malnutrition. This study used 124 pupils consisting of 62 malnourished and 62 nonmalnourished pupils recruited from 3 primary schools in Malete, Nigeria. Collection of anthropometric data of the pupils was done using administered questionnaire. The height, weight, plasma haemoglobin (Hb), Red Blood Cell Count (RBC), White Blood Cell Count (WBC), Mean Corpsular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Platelet Count and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) of each student was also determined. The malnourished pupils were thereafter randomly assigned to groups A and B of 31 pupils each. Group A was placed on tea supplemented with moringa while group B was placed on tea alone. Treatments were done for 8 weeks after which blood was withdrawn from all the pupils and plasma haematological parameters determined. Results indicate that malnourished pupils has reduced Body Mass Index, Hb, RBC, platelet count, MCHC and elevated WBC when compared with the non malnourished pupils. Supplementation with moringa leaves powder and intake of tea alone did not significantly alter the PCV, Hb and RBC values. The plasma platelet count, MCHC and WBC were however elevated in malnourished pupils placed on tea supplemented with Moringa oleifera but not in the pupils placed on tea alone. The study reports that supplementation of tea with Moringa oleifera improves haematological indices of malnutrition and perform better than intake of tea alone.

Comparative Study of Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine in Bilateral Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric Nerve Block for Post Caesarean Section Analgesia

Introduction: Optimum analgesia in post caesarean section patient is necessary to provide better care for mother and enhance bonding between mother and neonate. Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block is an effective method to provide analgesia in them. Bupivacaine and ropivacaine have been used in various concentrations in many peripheral nerve blocks. Hence We conducted the study in post caesarean section patients to compare bupivacaine and ropivacaine in ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block with regards to Adequacy of pain relief (visual analogue scale),Duration of analgesia, Comfort at breast feeding (comfort scaling),Hemodynamic parameters ( pulse rate and blood pressure) and Any adverse effect. Material and Methods: The present study was carried out in 60 ASA grade I patients with age above 18 years and weight between 40kg to 80kg, undergoing Caesarean Section. These patients were randomly divided into two groups of 30 each. Group I and Group II was administered 0.25% bupivacaine and 0.25% ropivacaine respectively. SPSS version 17 was used for analysis. Results: Both the drugs provided effective post-operative pain relief. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS score at each time interval postoperatively, except after 7 hrs and 8 hrs between both the groups. Duration of analgesia was significantly longer in bupivacaine group. Both the drugs provided adequate levels of comfort during Breast feeding. Conclusion: Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine were successfully used for post operative analgesia through bilateral ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block. Duration of analgesia was longer in bupivacaine. Both the drugs provided adequate levels of comfort during breast feeding.

DNP Project: Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade with Neostigmine: Development of an Evidence-based Practice Protocol

Background/Significance: A large population of patients entering the post-operative anesthesia care unit (PACU) with residual neuromuscular blockade (NMB), as defined by a Train-of-Four ratio < 0.9, has been reported in the literature. Patients with residual NMB have a higher likelihood of respiratory insufficiency and failure, and many others experience uncomfortable feelings of muscle weakness. Neostigmine is a commonly used agent to reverse NMB, but little is known about factors which affect use and dosing. Purpose/Objectives: The purpose of this Scholarly Leadership Project was to identify the factors being considered by anesthesia providers when using neostigmine as a reversal agent for NMB. The findings from this study and current evidence were utilized in the formulation of a set of evidence-based practice guidelines for the reversal of NMB with neostigmine. Design: This study utilized a descriptive, online survey design. Methods: A survey was sent through the email LISTSERV of the Illinois Association of Nurse Anesthetists (IANA), the official professional organization of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) in the state of Illinois.192 active CRNA members of the IANA participated. A validated, investigator-developed online survey, which examined the factors being considered by anesthesia providers when using neostigmine, was sent to 1,384 members of the IANA. Analysis: Descriptive statistics using means, standard deviation, frequencies, and percentages was used to describe the sociodemographics of respondents and the online responses to the survey. Chi square statistics were utilized to examine different factors considered by CRNAs when administering neostigmine. Findings: This study revealed different factors that anesthesia providers consider when using
The Hypoglyceamic and Hypolipideamic Potentials of Raw and Boiled Vernonia amygdalina Leaf Extract on Normal, Diabetic Induced and High Fat Fed Male Albino Rats

Vernonia amygdalina (VA) though used as folk medicine in managing diabetes yet is high in anti-nutrients. The effect of boiling (to reduce anti-nutrients) on hypoglycaemic and hypolipidemic potentials is not well known. This work, therefore evaluated the hypoglycaemic and hypolipidemic potentials of aqueous extracts of raw and boiled Vernonia amygdalina (VA) leaves at a dose of 300mg/kg bodyweight. Rats were divided into three groups (A,B,C) and two treatments (1,2). Each treatment and control has five rats. Group A rats were fed normal diet (RND), group B were diabetic induced rats (DIR) fed normal diet and group C were fed high-fat diet (RHD). Treatments 1 and 2 were given raw VA extract (VAR) and boiled VA extract (VAB) respectively for 14days while the control received saline (with no extract). Blood glucose was monitored every three days and on the 15 th day the rats were sacrificed and the blood serum was used to assay for ALP, ALT and AST activities. The result shows that the extracts were able to reduce (p 0.05) higher than the treated. From the whole results analysed VAR and VAB reduced the blood glucose level of DIR (treated) and will bring it to normal with longer period of treatment. Also the extracts decreased the ALP, ALT and AST activities of DIR (treated) and so alleviate the liver function impairment associated with diabetic condition. Keywords, hypoglycaemic, hypolipidemic, Vernonia amygdalina, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotranferase (AST).
