The undergraduate curricula of medical schools in King Abdul Aziz University, Saudi Arabia, Umm Al-Qura Arabia and Sana'a Republic Yemen are traditional, like most the Middle East region. curriculum Dundee University Medical School, UK, claims to follow prescriptions UK General Council be outcome based with three interlocking phases students encouraged take responsibility for their own learning. aim this study is measure educational environment, using 50-item Ready Education Environment...
Abstract Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a cyclic peptide immunosuppressant drug that beneficial in the treatment of various ocular diseases. However, its bioavailability posterior eye limited due to poor aqueous solubility. Conventional CsA formulations such as solution or emulsion permeate poorly across static and dynamic barriers eye. Dissolvable microneedle (MN)-based patches can be used overcome barrier properties and, thus, enhance CsA-loaded dissolvable MN were fabricated using...
Microorganisms are becoming resistant to drugs and antimicrobials, making it a significantly critical global issue. Nosocomial infections resulting in alarmingly increasing rates of morbidity mortality. Plant derived compounds hold numerous antimicrobial properties, them very capable source counteract microbial strains. Syzygium aromaticum (Clove) extract has been proven by studies contain active ingredients that demonstrate antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal properties. It...
Studies conducted showed that there were gaps regarding the rational use of medicines (RUM).Evaluate RUM in main government hospitals four emirates UAE, using WHO prescribing indicators.Multicenter prospective cross-sectional comparative study was 4 different Emirates UAE. Using consecutive random sampling method, a total 1100 prescriptions (2741 prescribed drugs) collected and analyzed from surveyed April to October 2012. Index RATIONAL Drug Prescribing (IRDP) used as an indicator RUM.The...
Conventional formulations of antiviral drug acyclovir have various limitations such as low bioavailability. The current study was aimed at developing polymeric matrices for the controlled delivery using sericin polymer and acrylic acid (AA) a monomer. free radical polymerization technique used hydrogel formulation. Briefly, chemically cross-linked with acid. N′-N′-methylene bis-acrylamide (MBA) ammonium persulfate (APS) were cross-linker initiator, respectively. FTIR spectra showed that...
The leaves of the Qat plant (Catha edulis Forsk., Celastraceae) which contain amphetamine like compounds are widely chewed in Yemen and East Africa for their pleasurable stimulant properties. There also a number unwanted side-effects this paper studies effect on heart rate blood pressure 80 healthy volunteers. During 3-h period chewing fresh there was significant progressive rise systolic diastolic rate, levels had not returned to baseline 1 h after ceased. Further needed possible...
Currently, hydrogels are considered as ideal biomaterials due to their unique structure and characteristics that facilitates considerable hydrophilicity, swelling, drug loading release. In this study, we report pH-responsive GG-MAA-AMPS hydrogel delivery system prepared via free radical polymerization technique. Hydrogels were loaded with Metformin HCl a model drug. characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning...
Community pharmacies are widely distributed in the United Arab Emirates where community pharmacists' (CPs') perspectives on provision of extended pharmacy services (ECPS) is not known. This study assessed CPs perception, practices, perceived barriers and willingness to provide ECPS.A descriptive cross-sectional survey using a self-administered Likert-type questionnaire (Cronbach alpha = 0.976) was conducted among 195 Northern emirates, selected through multistage sampling technique. The...
Chewing the leaves of Qat plant (Catha edulis) for their pleasurable central stimulant effect is a habit that widespread in Yemen and certain areas East Africa. The use believed to cause variety gastrointestinal genito-urinary symptoms as well sleep disturbance. We studied subjective effects chewing human volunteers.This prospective study included 1600 healthy adult male subjects who chewed Qat, similar number never serving control. Subjects group at least four hours daily three successive...
This research aims to fabricate and characterize chemically crosslinked CMC/PVP-co-poly (AMPS) based hydrogel for the sustained release of model drug metoprolol tartrate through free radical polymerization technique. Box-Behnken Design was used optimize by varying content reactants such as; polymers (CMC PVP), monomer (AMPS), crosslinker (EGDMA). Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with AMPS a constant ratio PVP ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as in presence sodium hydrogen sulfite (SHS)/ammonium...
Laser-Assisted Chemical Bath Synthesis (LACBS) was used to fabricate pure and magnesium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles. Analysis of these nanoparticles' structural, morphological, optical, antimicrobial characteristics conducted. This analysis spanned across varying concentrations from 1% 3%. XRD confirmed the crystalline nature, revealing hexagonal wurtzite phase. SEM showcased their nanometric domain existence morphology, transforming nanorods nanotubes. Optical showed band gap energy...
Pharmaceutical care (PC) practice is still limited in the United Arab Emirates. It crucial to understand pharmacy students’ attitudes and their perceived barriers towards PC provision, evaluate effectiveness of theoretical practical curricula creating positive toward PC. This study aims assess final year undergraduate students Emirates (UAE), by them A cross-sectional survey-based was conducted February March, 2020, involving colleges UAE offering programs having year. Participants filled a...
