The present randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted on Jordanian participants with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) no other medical conditions, to evaluate the combined effect of 1,25-dihydroxy 3 (Vit.D ) and omega-3 fatty acid (n-3FA) supplements (D+) oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) non-high-density cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels as common predictors cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Participants were into 4 groups follows: a control group (C) that received supplementations, Vit.D...

Lack of access to the patient medical record (90.6%) was major barrier for integration pharmaceutical care into practice. The majority participants (93.0%) encouraged creating a website that provides care. Furthermore, 45.1% would pay such service if present. Moreover, (89.8%) agreed comprehensive database patients’ data will help in decreasing errors. Among four aspects (technical, psychosocial, communication and administrative) were assessed students pharmacist’s, general weakness all...

The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in a community-dwelling Jordanian population geriatrics according 2019 American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria, identify most used PIMs and factors independently associated with use. This was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. sample included 386 participants. Data collected by face-to-face interviews. A total 2894 evaluated. patients using at least one PIM 49.2%. proton...

An increase in glucose uptake by endothelial cells exposed to hyperglycemia is the presumed initiating event that causes systemic vascular disease individuals with diabetes. Diabetics do not develop clinically significant pulmonary disease, however, despite circulation's exposure same level of glucose. We hypothesized artery are protected from detrimental effects because they take up less than circulation, either intrinsic differences between two cell types or lower oxygen tension arterial...

Pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) in an intact vessel are continually exposed to serum, but unless injured, do not proliferate, constrained by confluence. In contrast, pulmonary smooth muscle (PASMC) attain, and maintain, confluence the presence of minimal protected from serum's stimulatory effects except when barrier becomes more permeable. We hypothesized therefore, that confluent PASMC may be less contact inhibition serum than PAEC tested this idea exposing non-transformed human...
