Importantes indicadores do cuidado às pessoas com HIV/Aids no estado do Paraná e nas cidades de Curitiba (capital), Foz do Iguaçu (fronteira) e Paranaguá (região portuária) foram considerados nesta pesquisa. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de série histórica, realizado com dados do Ministério da Saúde, sobre HIV/Aids, referentes ao período entre 2012 e 2022. Foram observados avanços significativos nas etapas de vinculação das pessoas com HIV aos serviços de saúde, no tratamento antirretroviral e na supressão da carga viral. Em consequência, houve redução nos números absolutos e nas taxas de detecção de Aids em todos os locais investigados. Predominaram os diagnósticos de Aids em pessoas do sexo masculino, baixa escolaridade e pele branca. Porém observou-se que a proporção de brancos diagnosticados com Aids teve diminuição expressiva ao longo do período em quase todas as localidades, com elevação de pessoas com Aids em outras populações. Ficou evidente que a pandemia desacelerou as conquistas do cuidado ao HIV/Aids, sobretudo da supressão da carga viral, um importante parâmetro. Diante disto, torna-se necessário reforçar o enfrentamento contra o HIV/Aids por meio de políticas públicas que abranjam com equidade os grupos populacionais e os locais mais impactados.Palavras-chave: HIV; Tratamento; Políticas Públicas; Acesso aos Serviços de Saúde.

Published: December 2023

O comportamento humano é produto de uma interação complexa entre o indivíduo, sua história de vida e o ambiente. O nosso foco é na comunidade LGBTQIAPN+. Destaca-se a persistência da discriminação e do preconceito, apesar do progresso social e cultural. Abordamos a discriminação enfrentada por pessoas LGBTQIAPN+ desde a infância e adolescência, inclusive por profissionais de saúde e o impacto disso na formação do eu, uma vez que nos desenvolvemos e nos entendemos como indivíduo à partir das relações sociais. A psicologia clínica desempenha um papel crucial na compreensão e na mitigação desses problemas, conforme estipulado pelo Código de Ética Profissional do Psicólogo. Além disso, enfatizamos a necessidade de pesquisas e intervenções que considerem fatores culturais e sociais na construção da identidade e no sofrimento dos indivíduos LGBTQIAPN+. O objetivo central deste ensaio é sensibilizar os profissionais de saúde para o impacto dessas questões e promover reflexões em direção a uma mudança social que reduza as disparidades enfrentadas por essa minoria. A pesquisa nesse campo tem o potencial de gerar repercussões significativas a curto e longo prazo na sociedade, contribuindo para uma abordagem ética e mais inclusiva em relação à saúde mental e ao bem-estar da comunidade LGBTQIAPN+.Palavras-chave: saúde mental; comunidade LGBTQIAPN+; self; discriminação.

ResumoEstudo descritivo, com objetivo descrever o perfil epidemiológico de violência de gênero contra mulheres e meninas no Paraná, Brasil. A amostra consistiu em casos de violência interpessoal e autoprovocada registrados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação em 2021 e 2022, e são dados de domínio público. Utilizou-se o programa TabWin, o QGIS versão 3.28.0, e o software Microsoft Excel para a tabulação; a análise foi por distribuição de frequência, percentual e técnica de Moran. Foram registrados 76.017 casos de violência no período, destes, 71.084 (93,5%) foram dados válidos. Observou-se prevalência de violência em mulheres e meninas (73,0%), brancas (63,3%), faixa etária de 20 a 34 anos, (29,0%), seguida de 10 a 19 anos (27,6%), escolaridade de 5ª a 8ª série incompleta do ensino fundamental (20,9%). Houve predominância da violência física e a residência (82,1%) foi o local de ocorrência mais frequente. Pato Branco foi a região de saúde que apresentou maior incidência (1.346 casos/100.000 mulheres), e Francisco Beltrão foi a região com índice de autocorrelação espacial significativa (p=0,01) entre os seus municípios. Quanto à lesão autoprovocada (32,52%), destaque para elevado índice de reincidência dos casos (45,7%). A exposição de mulheres e meninas ao agravo, evidenciou a importância de compreender o fenômeno, investimento em ações de promoção da saúde unificada, promoção da cultura de paz e a prevenção da violência de gênero. Ademais, demanda atuação transversal e multidisciplinar, bem como proposição de atividades educativas com foco na construção de vínculos de solidariedade e respeito às diversidades.Palavras-chave: Saúde Pública; Sistema Único de Saúde; Vigilância em Saúde e Epidemiologia; Violência; Equidade
A GENTE SÓ CONSEGUE VIVER ENQUANTO COMUNIDADE: TRAÇANDO OS ITINERÁRIOS TERAPÊUTICOS DE HOMENS TRANS EM CURITIBA
Authors: Andreassa Soares Gregório , Vianna Dantas dos Santos Deivisson
Published: December 2023

O estudo buscou conhecer e compreender os itinerários terapêuticos de homens trans em Curitiba, revelando as estratégias e desafios vividos na busca por soluções para demandas em saúde. Através de entrevistas virtuais semiestruturadas, analisamos o conteúdo das narrativas em diálogo com a literatura atual sobre o tema. Os resultados revelaram o papel central da rede de apoio mútuo formada por pessoas transmasculinas da região na facilitação do acesso aos serviços e na construção coletiva e autônoma de conhecimento e estratégias de enfrentamento de barreiras. Também identificamos - no trânsito constante entre os serviços de saúde e fora deles - desafios relacionados ao tempo de espera, à dificuldade em encontrar profissionais de saúde sensíveis às suas necessidades e ao desconhecimento sobre as transmasculinidades. A questão do tempo e da demora se mostraram fundamentais para compreender a experiência da transmasculinidade e sua relação com a saúde em conceito ampliado. Com esses achados, espera-se contribuir com o conhecimento a respeito das experiências dos homens trans e fornecer subsídios teóricos para aprofundar as discussões sobre a saúde dos homens transgênero no contexto brasileiro.Palavras-chave: transmasculinidade; transgênero; rede de apoio.

Mesmo com o reconhecimento da importância da interdisciplinaridade na conservação da biodiversidade, ainda há resistência em incorporar a pesquisa em ciências sociais (PCS) ao pensamento e à prática conservacionista. As razões para tal resistência podem ser resumidas em três afirmações gerais ainda comumente atribuídas à PCS: 'tem pouca utilidade' e 'menos rigor metodológico' quando comparada à pesquisa em ciências naturais e, sobretudo, é pouco confiável porque 'as pessoas mentem'. Neste ensaio, desenvolvido a partir da experiência dos participantes de uma comunidade de prática, formada por profissionais de diversas áreas e setores relacionados à conservação, e das discussões geradas nesse espaço de aprendizado coletivo, abordamos as limitações e os equívocos por trás das afirmações acima. A PCS não é menos útil na conservação e nem tem menos rigor metodológico do que a pesquisa em ciências naturais, e quando as pessoas mentem para o pesquisador o problema não está na pesquisa em si, mas na relação entre sujeito e pesquisador. Argumentamos que à medida que os conservacionistas se familiarizam com a PCS e que os princípios de equidade e justiça são incorporados aos valores e objetivos da conservação, a importância e necessidade da PCS na conservação tornam-se óbvias, e a falta de confiança entre pesquisador e sujeitos deixa de ser uma preocupação significativa. Capacitar, integrar e apoiar são nossas recomendações básicas para pesquisadores, educadores, gestores e tomadores de decisão nas áreas de conservação, ensino, publicação e financiamento, para que a PCS cumpra plenamente seu papel na conservação.

Crew Management System: A Study among Loco-Pilots of Howrah Division, Eastern Railways
Authors: Guha Ushnish
Published: December 2023

The concept of occupation has become specific, specialized, and competitive with time. Locomotive Pilots (Loco-Pilots) are one such specific group tasked with operating the Locomotives in Indian Railways which power and haul the trains. The themes highlighted from the literature in the country context (which is mostly quantitative) talk about occupational stress, fatigue, noise noise-induced hearing loss among others. The literature also points toward duty and rest, frequency of duty, and crew management systems. Crew Management System is a software application which was introduced to streamline the scheduling and management. The objective of this study was to document and discuss this Crew Management System. Methodology: The research design was descriptive and the tools of questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used to collect data for quantitative and qualitative respectively. The sampling was been conducted purposively. The ethical considerations of informed consent and anonymity were put into place. Results: The Crew Management System made a contribution to scheduling and management and is better than the manual scheduling of the past. Although, initially there was an issue to learn the software and interface but now it is acceptable. There exist some operational problems, that in some stations the internet or link often is not stable thus operation of the CMS becomes difficult and sometimes it does not operate at its regular speed across devices. The CMS is a tool for the future that if monitored and enhanced with a further simplified user interface will provide direct benefits to crew scheduling and management.

Authors: Patangia Bishal
Published: December 2023

This systematic review examines the complex interplay between employee motivation and competitive dynamics within organizations. The study aims to identify cognitive and behavioral challenges affecting employee motivation, investigate the impact of workplace competitive dynamics, and propose strategies to enhance motivation and productivity. Based on the PRISMA Checklist, a systematic search was conducted between 2000 and 2023 across databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar. Upon initial screening, 11 studies were selected, which were evaluated for cognitive and behavioral factors influencing employee motivation within competitive organizational dynamics. The review identifies cognitive challenges, such as confirmation bias and attention-related cognitive errors, which have a significant impact on decision-making processes and motivation. A number of behavioral challenges affect job motivation, including ambiguity bias and a lack of attitudinal professionalism. Goal-setting, autonomy, and effective leadership are some of the strategies to improve motivation, as well as reducing biases and creating a conducive working environment. The review synthesizes the existing literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between employee motivation and competitive dynamics. By identifying cognitive and behavioral challenges, providing insights into their interplay, and proposing practical strategies to improve organizational performance, it contributes to the improvement of organizations. By leveraging the identified challenges and strategies, organizations will be able to improve their decision-making processes and cultivate motivated employees. The findings revealed that a positive work environment and sustained employee engagement can be achieved by addressing biases, clarifying roles, fostering autonomy, and promoting effective leadership.

Published: December 2023

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the nutritional status and the effect of radiotherapy (RT) on nutrition in all ambulatory cancer patients.
Material and Method: In this prospective observational study 105 cancer patients with various diagnoses treated between 2013 and 2014 were evaluated. All patients were ≥18 years old and had Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70. Anthropometric measurements, body composition with bioelectric impedance, and patient-generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) tools were used. The height, weight, body mass index (BMI), triceps skin fold thickness, mid-upper arm circumference, hemoglobin, and serum albumin levels were determined twice before and after RT. Additionally, nutrition-related symptoms and short-term weight loss results were determined by PG-SGA questionnaires.
Results: The patients’ median age was 53 years (range, 18-82 years). At initial evaluation 74 patients were well nourished using the PG-SGA global rating. Malnutrition developed in totally 33 of these 74 patients after RT. The PG-SGA results after RT were significantly worse than before treatment. PG-SGA revealed no significant relationship between nutritional status prior to RT and the parameters including gender, age, mean weight, BMI, disease duration, pre-RT hemoglobin and albumin levels. Post-RT evaluation showed a significant relationship between deterioration (PG-SGA B-C) and mean weight, BMI, serum albumin, hemoglobin levels, and concomitant chemotherapy. Gastrointestinal and head and neck cancer patients had the most deterioration after RT. The patients' weight, BMI, fat-free mass, total body water, and the percentage weight loss at the end of RT were significantly lower than the initial assessment.
Conclusion: It is considerable to use multiple tools for nutritional monitoring. Patients who received RT to the head and neck and upper abdomen region had a high risk of deterioration after treatment. These patients should be monitored carefully during all treatment periods.

Published: December 2023

Objective: To assess the effects of regular medication administration, diet, sleep, and physical activity provided by hospital care on inflammatory markers in schizophrenia patients. The primary hypothesis of our study is that the assembly of various factors, will reduce low-grade inflammation in a short period.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective longitudinal study involved 106 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia who met the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Inflammatory markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte Ratios (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratios (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios (PLR), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratios (CAR), and systemic immune inflammation indices (SII) were calculated at the time of hospital admission and after three weeks.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 39.0±13.1 years and the majority were male (n: 75). Reductions were observed in all inflammatory markers after three weeks. The CRP decreased from a median value of 2.6 (interquartile range (IQR): 1.1-5.3) to 1.90 (IQR: 0.85-3.30) (p=0.001, effect size=0.375). The CAR changed from 0.064 (IQR: 0.026-0.115) to 0.043 (IQR: 0.017-0.077) (p=0.005, effect size=0.371). The NLR demonstrated a significant reduction from 2.31 (IQR: 1.73-3.24) to 1.73 (IQR: 1.28-2.27) (p<0.001, effect size=0.647). The SII decreased from 634 (IQR: 425-870) to 470 (IQR: 321-645) (p<0.001, effect size=0.577). The PLR went down from 9.85 (IQR: 7.4-12.7) to 8.21 (IQR: 6.22-10.3) (p<0.001, effect size=0.547). Lastly, the MLR reduced from 0.297 (IQR: 0.221-0.378) to 0.258 (IQR: 0.195-0.319) (p<0.001, effect size=0.522).
Conclusion: This study underscores the influence of regular antipsychotic treatment and hospital care in reducing inflammation markers like NLR, MLR, PLR, SII, and CAR in schizophrenia patients. Future studies should explore the potential of markers like CAR and SII in detecting low-grade inflammation, and further probe into the role of sleep, nutrition, and physical activity, emphasising the paramount role of comprehensive hospital care.

Published: December 2023

Objective: Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in our country and the world. This study investigated the seroprevalence of brucellosis in individuals who were engaged in animal husbandry in Erzurum region, were over 18 years of age, or did not have any clinical complaints of brucellosis.
Materials and Methods: Our study was conducted on 271 volunteers engaged in livestock farming in 20 districts of Erzurum province between 2020 and 2021. Brucella antibodies were investigated in blood samples using ELISA IgG, ELISA IgM, Rose Bengal, and Standard tube agglutination tests. A questionnaire was administered to the participants to investigate the risk factors of brucellosis.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 43.6 ± 15.7.2 years (min:18, max:90), and there were 137 male (50.6%) and 134 female (49.4%) particpants. Seropositivity was detected with ELISA IgG in 40 of 271 participants (14.8%). Seropositivity was detected in the ELISA IgM test in 2 of these 40 participants (0.7%). Seropositivity was found in 46 participants (17%) in the Rose Bengal and 29 individuals in the STA test. According to the serology results, ELISA IgG positivity was higher in male participants compared to female participants (ratio=1.6). Among pet owners, ELISA IgG seropositivity was found higher than the participants who did not have pets (ratio=1.9). In the evaluation based on educational status, the rate of seropositivity was slightly higher in the participants who were illiterate and had a poor level of education.
Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that the prevalence rate obtained by ELISA IgG was consistent with previous studies conducted in the region. No significant relationship was observed between the serology results of the participants and their gender and educational status. On the other hand, the positivity of ELISA IgG results was higher among the participants who had pets, and there was a significant relationship at the margin.

Published: December 2023

Background: In the process of detecting cervical cancer, cytology and HPV genotype screening both play a significant part. More researches are required to determine whether or not multiple HPV genotyping can accurately predict cytological abnormalities.
Methods: A total of 696 female individuals were subjected to analysis for cytology and HPV genotype testing. HPV-DNA, smear and final pathology results of these patients and the relationship between them were investigated using statistical methods.
Results: Cytological data indicating abnormalities were seen in a total of 110 subjects. HPV-16 was determined to be the most prevalent variety among the patients, and HPV-16-positive females were found to have an elevated risk of cervical lesions. HPV 16 infection rates were substantially increased in patients with HSIL and higher lesions.
Conclusion: An infection caused by HPV-16 is a major risk factor for cervical lesions. A test that examines many HPV genotypes may be able to predict cytological problems.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a multifactorial disease with a range of pathogenic microbes as causative agents including parasites, fungi and bacteria. However, the main causative pathogen in UTIs is bacteria. The UTI is one of the common reasons for nosocomial infection in the community. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence of UTIs followed by investigating the most effective antibiotics and the amplification of β-lactamase (bla-TEM) gene in isolated bacteria. The Present study was conducted in the tertiary care hospitals of various areas in Peshawar, Pakistan Mid-stream urine samples were collected from UTI patients. Inoculation of entire samples on MacConkey and Blood agar followed by urease, catalase test for gram-positive and citrate, and indole test for gram-negative bacteria was done. Culture sensitivity analysis for various antibiotics was done according to CLSI guidelines. DNA extraction and molecular characterization of bla-TEM resistance genes was also performed using specific primers by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. 117/531 (22.03%) samples were positive for UTI. Among these, most of the samples belong to female population 64.9%. In the age-wise distribution, the middle to older age group has the highest prevalence of UTI. 117 isolates separated with E. coli (62.4%) followed by Klebsiella spp (11.1%) and 7.7% of Pseudomonas as the most prevalent urinary tract infectious microbes. Antibiotic susceptibility showed gentamicin and meropenem as the most resistive antibiotics. Meropenem and ciprofloxacin were the most sensitive antibiotics. Molecular characterization showed 69/117 (58.9%) and 61/117 (52.1%) sample amplification for β-lactamase and aminoglycoside-resistant genes, respectively. It is concluded that UTI is a serious multi-pathogenic problem prevailing in District Peshawar. Most of the uropathogens show resistance towards different antibiotics based on the resistance genes detected in them.

Araştırma, yaşlı bakım bölümünde okuyan öğrencilerin yaşlılara yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tamamlayıcı-kesitsel tipte gerçekleştirilen bu araştırma, Aydın ilinde bir üniversitenin Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu Yaşlı Bakım Programı öğrencileri ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 165 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veriler, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Yaşlılara Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (KOPS)” ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde, Kruskal Wallis Varyans Analizi ve Mann Whitney U-testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin %55.8’inin lisans tamamlama amacıyla bu programı tercih ettikleri ve çoğunluğunun da, olumsuz kavramları yaşlılıkla bağdaştırmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin KOPS ortalama puanı 100.12±13.53 olup, yaşlı bireylere yönelik tutumları olumlu olarak değerlendirilmiştir. “Yaşlı” kelimesinin çağrıştırdığı anlama göre “rahatlık” kavramında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p=0.038). Çalışmamızda yaşlı bakım programını seçme nedeni “aile baskısı” olan öğrencilerin KOPS puan ortalamasının 108.92±18.74 ile en yüksek puan ortalamasına sahip olduğu saptanmış ve yaşlıya yönelik tutumları da pozitif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda, öğrencilerin yaşlıya karşı saygı duydukları ve yaşlıya yönelik tutumlarının da olumlu olduğu saptanmıştır. Yaşlı bakım bölümü öğrencilerinin ön lisans eğitiminde; bakım ile ilgili etik ve ahlaki yaklaşımların daha fazla ön planda olması, yaşlı ile birlikte daha fazla etkinlik ve faaliyetlere katılımlarının desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.

The present study analyzes the hydrothermal liquefaction of residual coffee biomass using glycerin from the production of biodiesel through the homogeneous route. The reactions occurred by varying the glycerol/water ratio (1:0, 1:1, and 1:2) and the solvent/biomass ratio (70 and 90%) with heating at 180°C for 30 minutes (mixing phase) and at 250°C for 15 minutes. The products obtained were identified as light bio-oil (BOL), heavy bio-oil (BOP), gaseous fraction (FG), and solids (SOL). These products were submitted to characterization through density, thermogravimetry, and viscosity analyses. The condition that generated the highest oil yields was the one where 70% solvent and a glycerin/water ratio of 1:2 were used, producing approximately 83% of bio-oils. In this perspective, coffee biomass and residual glycerin were suitable for use in the hydrothermal liquefaction process.
“They made space for me”
Authors: Rivera Catherine
Published: December 2023

Drawing on 16 months of ethnographic fieldwork with young, Anglican social justice activists in Aotearoa New Zealand, this article engages with Romand Coles’s theory of receptive generosity, and the theme of the western church as marginal, to explore why a particular Anglican Diocese was attracting new, millennial aged members, most of whom did not grow up Anglican. I consider how spaces of generous reciprocity were formed and enabled through living in intentional communities (ICs) and being able to engage with pluralistic ‘broad table’ spaces of discussion and dissent. These factors were part of what drew the research participants to this Diocese and to Anglicanism in general, as well as enhancing their social justice activism. My research shows the importance of intentionally making spaces of belonging for millennials and Gen Z aged people in a faith community, rather that hoping the status quo of the past will suffice.
Bending the Light

Published: December 2023

The shifting structure of religious life requires new research methodologies that can attend to the dynamic nature of faith and resource ongoing scholarship and religious practice. Rather than approaching research and resourcing as separate and iterative movements, a contextually-centered approach can engage and support religious scholarship and practice in dynamic religious climates. While existing methodologies have advanced research and practice in considerable ways, these developments now make possible an integrative approach that combines research, resourcing, and collaborative inquiry into a dynamic movement. This paper advances an argument through a theological fieldnote based on a year of collaborative research and resourcing completed by the Program for the Future Church (PFFC). Established in 2021, the PFFC is a research, resource, and relational hub that pilots solutions for emerging and pressing challenges before the Church. The methodology, “Bending the Light,” pursues collaborative action research by constituting three sites of inquiry: a Celebration, a Collaboratory, and a Contextual Research Hub. Nine practices guide individual and collective investigation(s): 1) identifying present gifts; 2) creating connections; 3) identifying commonalities; 4) clarifying presenting crises; 5) developing shared language; 6) elevating individual and collective imagination; 7) complexifying anchoring concepts; 8) exploring shared practice; and 9) piloting research and resources. Combining reflections from conveners and participants, this methodological structure enhances attention to the lived theologies that ground the life of faith and the forms of practice that can resource future research and Christian practice.

Using Scratch to Teach Coding in Massive Online Open Courses
Authors: Arantes do Amaral Joao Alberto
Published: December 2023

In this case study, we present our findings regarding a massive  open online Scratch programming course. The course, which followed a project-based learning approach, was delivered from July 4 to 30, 2022 to 186 students in Brazil. The students were challenged to develop individual coding projects. Our research goal was to investigate teaching and learning course dynamics. We followed a convergent parallel mixed-method approach. We collected quantitative and qualitative data by means of questionnaires. We were able to identify five intertwined feedback loops that drove the educational process. Our main findings are as follows: 1) The development of coding skills was driven by the effort of watching video-lectures, remixing of peers’ codes, and by sharing knowledge between the students. 2) The project-based learning approach created opportunities for the students to collaborate and exchange ideas.

Adrenergic β-receptor blockers are widely used in clinic for the management of cardiovascular disease and some other illnesses. However, this group of drugs known to cause central nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, sleep disturbance, hallucination, migraine and tremors. As anti-epileptic drugs exert their action mainly through the inhibition of the central nervous system to decrease the firing and the excitability of neurons. Accordingly, β-blockers might influence the pharmacological activity of anti-epileptic drugs. Aim:The aims of this study is to investigate the influence of β –blockerson the anti-convulsant activity of two anti-epileptic drugs, i.e. phenytoin and phenobarbital. Methods: Three beta blockers with different β-receptor blocking selectivity and degree of solubility (atenolol, metoprolol, and propranolol) were injected intraperitoneally (IP) into mice either alone or in combination with phenytoin or phenobarbital. After 30 min mice were injected with picrotoxin (8mg/kg) to induce convulsions. Convulsion parameters recorded were; the onset of jerks, number of tonic and clonic convulsions, and % mortality. Results: Picrotoxin produced 100% death in all control animals. However, mosttheanimals treated with antiepileptics alone or in combination with β-blockers were protected from death. The effect of phenytoin on the onset of convulsions was significantlyenhanced when it combined with β-blockers. However, in regard to phenobarbital only the increase was noticed with propranolol. Giving phenytoin with β-blockers improves its effect in reducing clonic convulsion, whereas, no change in phenobarbital activity when administered together with β-blockers. Combination of either phenytoin or phenobarbital with β-blockers did not result in any significant change in their ability to reduce tonic convulsions except when phenytoin co-administered with metoprolol a significant decrease was observed. Conclusion: The administration of β-blockers in concomitant with phenytoin and phenobarbital increased their anticonvulsant activity. However, β-blockers alone could have some protective effect against convulsions.
