Pharmacist Intervention to Address Drug Related Problems in Patients with Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis
...Show More Authors

Background: Patients with decompensated cirrhosis are often given therapeutic and prophylactic drugs. Polypharmacy raises both the likelihood of prescription errors and the complications associated with drugs. Clinical pharmacists are excellent at recognizing, addressing, and preventing clinically significant drug-related problems.

Objectives: Identification types of pharmacist interventions to address drug-related problems in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and assess the acceptance/implementation of these recommendations. And identify patient factors associated with accepting pharmacist recommendations.

Subjects and Methods: Prospective, interventional, clinical study for 80 hospitalized decompensated cirrhosis patients was conducted at Baghdad Teaching Hospital and lasted for four months, from the first of December 2021 until the last of March 2022. The study involved two phases, the first one was observational to identify drug-related problems and classify them according to the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe classification version 9.1,   and the second phase was interventional to increase the awareness of patients and health care providers about those problems and to propose a proper solution for each one.

Results: The most frequent pharmacist intervention was proposed to the prescriber (54.7%), followed by speaking to the caregiver (37.7%). Acceptance and full implementation were highly observed in 71.1% of the intervention. There is a significant  association between occurring ascites and bleeding in patients and accepting/implementing pharmacist recommendations

Conclusions: Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis have a significant prevalence of drug-related problems. Clinical pharmacists are excellent at recognizing drug-related problems and reducing their incidence, and their interventions were well accepted.

Effect of Liver Enzymes, Oxidative Stress and Vitamin D3 in Psoriatic Patients
...Show More Authors

     Psoriasis is one of the skin’s chronic inflammatory diseases. Psoriasis etiology isn’t exactly known. Recently, it has been suggested that the imbalances in oxidant-antioxidant status happening because of the increase in reactive oxygen species production (ROS) and/or deficient function regarding the antioxidant system might be included in psoriasis pathogenesis. The major goal is to evaluate the antioxidant defense status in patients experiencing psoriasis and oxidative stresses represented by malondialdehyde (MDA) level and evaluate liver enzymes and vitamin D3. There are some tests of biochemical parameters and vitamins (GSH, MDA, VitD3, SOD, GPx, CAT, AST, ALT, and ALP) are conducted on 35 patients experiencing psoriasi

Indications of Liver and Kidney Functions in Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetic Patients
...Show More Authors

This study aimed at the investigation of abnormal liver and renal functions by biochemical manifestations of underlying metabolic abnormalities in relation to hyperglycemia in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. The study comprised 118 diabetic patients (56 males, 62 females) and 60 age-matched healthy non-diabetic controls (30 males, 30 females). All subjects were tested for serum levels of liver enzymatic indicators, which include aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), as well as non enzymatic parameters, including total bilirubin and total proteins.Also, serum levels of renal function markers, including microalbumin, creatinine, urea, and uric acid were measured.

Proposed Measure for Effect Size in Mediation Analysis with Solution to Some Mediation Process Problems
...Show More Authors

In this paper, the effect size measures was discussed, which are useful in many estimation processes for direct effect and its relation with indirect and total effects. In addition, an algorithm to calculate the suggested measure of effect size was suggested that represent the ratio of direct effect to the effect of the estimated parameter using the Regression equation of the dependent variable on the mediator variable without using the independent variable in the model. Where this an algorithm clear the possibility to use this regression equation in Mediation Analysis, where usually used the Mediator and independent variable together when the dependent variable regresses on them. Also this an algorithm to show how effect of the
