Background: Although we are four years into the pandemic, there is still conflicting evidence regarding the clinical outcomes of diabetic patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the in-hospital mortality and morbidity of diabetic versus nondiabetic patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the Northern UAE Emirates. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data from patients with or without diabetes mellitus (DM) who were admitted to the isolation hospital with COVID-19 during the first and second waves of the disease (March 2020 to April 2021). The assessed endpoints were all-cause in-hospital mortality, length of hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mechanical ventilation. Results: A total of 427 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 335 (78.5%) had DM. Compared to nondiabetics, diabetic COVID-19 patients had a significantly longer in-hospital stay (odds ratio (OR) = 2.35; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.19–4.62; p = 0.014), and a significantly higher frequency of ICU admission (OR = 4.50; 95% CI = 1.66–7.34; p = 0.002). The need for mechanical ventilation was not significantly different between the two groups (OR: distorted estimates; p = 0.996). Importantly, the overall in-hospital mortality was significantly higher among diabetic patients compared to their nondiabetic counterparts (OR = 2.26; 95% CI = 1.08–4.73; p = 0.03). Conclusion: DM was associated with a more arduous course of COVID-19, including a higher mortality rate, a longer overall hospital stay, and a higher frequency of ICU admission. Our results highlight the importance of DM control in COVID-19 patients to minimize the risk of detrimental clinical outcomes

This study was conducted at AU to estimate the prevalence of stress and burnout among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to provide insights into the levels of stress and burnout experienced by medical students at AU and identify potential risk factors. The research methodology involved a crosssectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire among 215 College of Medicine AU students. The findings indicated that many participants experienced moderate stress levels, as revealed by data collected on a Likert scale. No significant differences in stress scores were found based on sex, but variations were observed among years of study and living status. An analysis of burnout using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory showed that over half of the participants experienced moderate levels of burnout. No significant differences in burnout were found based on gender, marital status, residence, GPA, motivation for enrolment, or nationality; however, variations were observed among different age groups and years of study. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address stress and burnout among AU students by focusing on the identified risk factors. By implementing evidence-based strategies, AU can promote the well-being and resilience of medical students, thereby contributing to their overall success and the future of the healthcare workforce.

Aims: Hand hygiene (HH) is an essential practice to evade the transmission of germs and minimize community-acquired infections. This study assesses the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of HH and other health and safety measures before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. in university students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted between December 2022 and March 2023, targeting university students from all disciplines and study levels. A 44- item questionnaire was used which included student demographics, knowledge, attitude, and practice of HH, as well as the anticipated risk of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Participants consented before commencing the questionnaire, and the collected data were analysed using the student’s t-test and ANOVA test, as required. Results: A total of 378 responses were received nationwide, with a valid response rate of 98%. The HH knowledge revealed an average score of 62%, which was significantly higher in students with moderate family income. Additionally, the average attitude score was 74.7%, as measured on the Likert scale, and the score lacked any correlation with the other variables. HH practice showed an average score of 86.8%, which was correlated with the students’ gender and field of study. Conclusions: This study showed a moderate level of knowledge, a good attitude, and good practice around HH and other safety measures among the UAE’s university students. Socioeconomic status, gender, and field of study influenced the study outcomes

Background: Vitamin (vit.) B12 is a vital nutrient for ideal hemopoietic, neurocognitive, and cardiovascular integrity. The frequency of vit. B12 abnormalities in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially with the chronic use of metformin, has been demonstrated and verified. In this study, the levels of vit. B12 and its metabolites in metformin-using T2DM participants were measured and compared to healthy participants to conclude any causal relationship. Methods: The study was conducted on selected T2DM patients who are using a high dose of metformin for the long term and compared to healthy volunteers regarding the following parameters: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, complete blood cell (CBC), serum homocysteine, methylmalonic acid, transcobalamin, and holotranscobalamin. SPSS was used for data analysis, implementing the unpaired Student’s t-test and the Chi-square test for significance. Results: Levels of holo-transcobalamin and homocysteine were insignificant higher in T2DM patients. However, transcobalamin was insignificantly higher in the test group, while methylmalonic acid was surprisingly below the normal levels among both groups. No significant difference in BMI was reported between both groups, but T2DM patients had significantly higher waist circumferences compared to their healthy counterparts.

Adv Mach Lear Art Inte, 4(2), 41-43., Advances in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence(AMLAI), Vol: 4, pp.41 - 43, Oct 2023
There has been an observable trend indicating a decline in students' attendance at lectures. Several reasons for this have been proposed, and various measures to mitigate this have been suggested in the past. We implemented a novel approach in our instructional strategy to address this. Real-life clinical problems relevant to the topic were integrated into the lectures, and they were deliberately excluded from the pre-lecture handouts. During the lectures, students were motivated to post questions and actively engage in peer-to-peer and peer-tutor discussions. To evaluate the impact of this intervention, student attendance before and after was monitored, calculated and statistically analyzed to get the average attendance. The results revealed a significant increase in the average attendance, demonstrating a statistically meaningful difference (p

Abstract The clinical diagnostic laboratory plays a very important role in the safe delivery of quality service to the patient. Over 70 percent of all management decisions in clinics and hospitals are based on laboratory results. It is therefore of paramount importance that the laboratory issues out reports that are accurate, reliable, reproducible and available to clinicians in a clinically relevant time frame. The diagnostic cycle can be divided into three phases (which has been further divided into five), with the pre analytical phase being the most error prone. A number of variables effect the results and each variable has to be controlled if we wish to obtain reliable results. Sensitivity and specificity are inherent attributes of a test, but the positive and negative predictive value depends upon the prevalence of the disease in the community. We can increase the value of the test by considering the likelihood ratio and understanding the purpose of the test.

Perspectives of Healthcare Professionals Regarding Factors Associated with Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Their Consequences: A Cross Sectional Study in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Antibiotics 2021, 10, 878. https://doi.org/10.3390/antibiotics10070878
Factors reported in the literature associated with inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials include physicians with less experience, uncertain diagnosis, and patient caregiver influences on physicians’ decisions. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance is critical for identifying emerging resistance patterns, developing, and assessing the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Improvement in prescribing antimicrobials would minimize the risk of resistance and, consequently, improve patients’ clinical and health outcomes. The purpose of the study is to delineate factors associated with antimicrobial resistance, describe the factors influencing prescriber’s choice during prescribing of antimicrobial, and examine factors related to consequences of inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobial. A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare providers (190) in six tertiary hospitals in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. The research panel has developed, validated, and piloted survey specific with closed-ended questions. A value of p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. All data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS version 23.0). 72.7% of the respondents have agreed that poor skills and knowledge are key factors that contribute to the inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials. All of the respondents acknowledged effectiveness, previous experience with the antimicrobial, and reading scientific materials (such as books, articles, and the internet) as being key factors influencing physicians’ choice during antimicrobial prescribing. The current study has identified comprehensive education and training needs for healthcare providers about antimicrobial resistance. Using antimicrobials unnecessarily, insufficient duration of antimicrobial use, and using broad spectrum antimicrobials were reported to be common practices. Furthermore, poor skills and knowledge were a key factor that
