Authors: Al-Asmari Abdulrahman Samman , Aljohani Khalid Abdullah , Aloufi Mohammad Ayed 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Nonadherence to the medication schedule is common in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and may have serious consequences including increased costs, hospital admissions, and death.

Aim:
In this study, we investigated the prevalence and associated factors of nonadherence in cardiovascular patients in Al-Madinah/Saudi Arabia.

Settings and Design:
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out at tertiary cardiac center in Al-Madinah.

Subjects and Methods:
Study variables including sociodemographic characteristics and disease factors were collected from a random sample of patients attending the CVDs the clinic using a structured questionnaire. Adherence was assessed using the Culig's medication adherence scale.

Statistical Analysis:
Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate factors associated with nonadherence.

Results:
A total of 200 adult cardiovascular patients completed the study; 100 (50.0%) were males and 186 (93.0%) resided in the city. The result showed that 26.0% (52/200) of the patients were nonadherent to medications, missing between 1 and 4 days of medication per week. Overall, 177 (88.5%) of the patients indicated that a healthcare worker explained the medications to them before dispensing. The most common reasons for nonadherence were: not being at home at the drug-taking time (84.6%), forgetfulness (82.7%), and fear of side effects (46.2%). Independent predictors of nonadherence were being retired (odds ratio [OR] 3.4; 95% confidence interval [C. I.] 1.3–9.4) and being uneducated or having general education (OR 4.7; 95% C. I. 2.0–11.2).

Conclusion:
Nonadherence rate was high and was found to be dependent upon patient-level factors. The study recommends improved patient education interventions to boost medication adherence in cardiovascular patients. Further studies are recommended.

Background:
Having a high quality primary health-care (PHC) system leads to a more efficient health-care system, which lower rates of hospitalization and leads to better health outcomes. One of the main criteria for assessing the quality of PHC services is the assessment of patient satisfaction, so the study aims to assess the chronic disease patients' satisfaction with PHC services provided by centers.

Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on patients with chronic diseases who follow-up in PHC centers within the Second Health Cluster in Riyadh using a questionnaire to assess their satisfaction level. A total 210 patients with different chronic diseases from the seven PHC centers (30 patients from each PHC center) who agreed to participate were included in the study.

Results:
In the study, 126 (60%) participants were females and 96 (45.7%) participants were in the age group more than 50 years. The survey showed that patients were satisfied with services offered by physicians, nurses, laboratory, and pharmacy with weighted means (3.81, 3.54, 3.59, and 3.88, respectively), while they were not satisfied with waiting time and services offered by receptionists with weighted means (3.22 and 3.27, respectively). The patient satisfaction showed a significant association with gender and level of education (P = 0.003 and 0.005, respectively).

Conclusions:
The survey showed that patients with chronic diseases were satisfied with services provided by PHC centers of the Second Health Cluster in Riyadh except receptionists' services, appointments, and waiting time. This survey will guide the policymakers for improving the services provided at the PHC centers.

Vayu's vitiated blood later burns the entire blood in the body and gravitates towards the limbs later. This vitiated Vata and Rakta is called Vatarakta. On the basis of etiopathology, Vatarakta may also be linked to Gout. A 52 years old female patient approached the OPD with the chief complaints of: Acute pain in all major and minor joint and Deformity on upper limb fingers in the last one year. The patient was given completely Ayurvedic medicines and Panchakarma therapies for 10 days, and Only Ayurvedic medicines on discharge were later moved and the findings were noticeably seen. Hence this study was taken to prove that Ayurvedic management with Mustadi Yapana Basti has remarkable results on Vatarakta (Gout). Observations and outcomes were drawn on the basis of measurement criteria. During analysis, discussion was carried out on the basis of whole findings. On the basis of the outcome, conclusions were taken.

In acute inflammatory conditions fluid and granulocytic cells accumulate at the site of injury because of the changes in small blood vessels. This response often activates systemic response such as leucocytosis, protein catabolism, fever and synthesis of C-reactive protein, an acute-phase protein In Ayurvedic texts, several herbo-mineral preparations to fight against inflammation have been found; among them, Vatavidhvamsana Rasa (VVR) is one, which is said to be remarkable in inflammation condition. Aim and Objectives: To assess the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of VVR in pharmacologically validated models. Materials and methods: Wistar strain albino rats weighing 200 ± 20 of either sex were used in the study. VVR was administered at a dose of 22.5 mg/kg for the rat. Results: Vatavidhvamsana Rasa (VVR) showed a significant decrease in the carrageenan-induced paw oedema after 1-hour interval in comparison to the control group (P<0.05) and at 3 hours and 5 hours intervals it showed a non-significant decrease in carrageenan-induced paw oedema in albino rats. In the analgesic activity, VVR treated group showed a significant increase in radiant heat response at 30 min. interval (P<0.05) and non-significant increase at 60 mins in comparison to initial and control group. Conclusion: The results concluded that Vatavidhvamsana Rasa has anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Accordingly, it can be used in the management of pain and inflammatory conditions.

Published: December 2021

Background: Myriad of synthetic products has been used in chemical plaque control. There is a constant search for cost effective herbal products with minimal adverse effect to substitute synthetic compounds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of Cocos nucifera and Sesamum indicum and compare their effect with commercially available chlorhexidine on gingivitis. Methods: In this double blind, randomized, control clinical trial, a total of 45 samples from patients aged between 18 to 35 years reporting to the institution, diagnosed with gingivitis were selected and randomly divided into Group-A (Scaling + Cocos Nucifera mouthwash), Group-B (Scaling + Sesamum Indicum mouthwash) and Group C (Scaling + Chlorhexidine mouthwash). Clinical (Plaque index, Gingival index and Sulcus bleeding index), and Immunological (Interleukin-6) parameters were assessed at baseline and 45th day following scaling. Saliva samples were collected and stored at -200C till they were subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. Inferential statistics done were analysis of variance, paired t test, post hock Scheffe test and Chi- square test by using SPSS software (22.0). Results: In Clinical parameters, group B (p˂0.001) showed statistical significant reduction compared to group A and group C. In Immunological parameter group A (p˂0.001) showed statistical significant reduction in Interleukin-6 compared to group B and group C (p=0.126 & p=0.196 respectively). Conclusion: Cocos nucifera and Sesamum indicum mouth washes effectively decreased plaque formation and could be used as an adjunct to scaling in treating plaque induced gingivitis.
