This study assessed the knowledge and practices of diabetic patients on insulin therapy in Khartoum, Sudan. It surveyed 385 diabetic patients across several hospitals and clinics. The study found that most patients injected insulin into their thighs or arms but that many did not properly change injection sites. It also found that while most knew the symptoms of low blood sugar, many did not correctly understand how to prepare an insulin dose or the proper injection technique. The study recommends better educating patients about disease management, insulin preparation and administration, storage, and expiration dates to improve outcomes.

Sedation in dentistry | Pediatric Sedation | Conscious SedationDr. Rajat Sachdeva
A phobic patient for their Dental treatment may suffer discomfort during the procedure.
Sedation to calm down the patient is quite necessary for proficient procedure.
Various sedation depending on phases of consciousness are mild, moderate, deep.All these sedation are non-assistant type or patient can breath by his or her own.
But under General anesthesia, patient bin completely unconscious and requires assistant in breathing.
However, to accomplish a procedure, patient should be calm and anxiety free.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

Assessment of knowledge and practice of diabetic patients towards insulin therapy
1. Assessment Of Knowledge And Practice Of
Diabetic Patients Towards Insulin Therapy In
Khartoum State
Presented by:
Afrah Abuagla Awad alkarim Hamd Elnail
Master in Clinical Pharmacy
Lecturer at the Department of pharmacology and Toxicology
Omdurman Islamic University
4. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent
chronic diseases.
Treatment of diabetes is a lifelong one and is
important in controlling and preventing
complications.
5. Patients treated with insulin, particularly face
many problems like problems of
injectionstechnique , storage of insulin,
preparation of dose …ect.
6. Knowledge about these aspects and about
complications related to insulin or to treatment
in general is essential for any diabetic patient
taking insulin.
7. This study is expected to explore these problems
and to identify gaps in knowledge and practice
that need to be tackled and solved.
Specific answers to these questions are expected
to give key information for health care
planners.
11. The top of the vial should be wiped with an
alcohol swab.
12.
13. All insulin preparations, except rapid- and short-acting
insulin and insulin glargine, the vial or pen should be
gently rolled in the palms of the hands (not shaken) to
resuspend the insulin.
14.
15. The insulin vial should be taken and the
equivalent amount of air to the dose should be
drawn to avoid creating a vacuum.
16.
17. For a mixed dose, sufficient air should be put into both
bottles before drawing up the dose.
When mixing rapid- or short-acting insulin with
intermediate- or long-acting insulin; the clear rapid-
or short-acting insulin should be drawn into the
syringe first.
18. The needle should be pushed through the center
of the rubber top of the sterile vial.
22. The vial and syringe should be turned upside
down.
23.
24. The plunger should be pulled down slowly to
get insulin into the syringe.
25.
26. After the insulin is drawn into the syringe, the fluid
should be inspected for air bubbles.
Air bubbles themselves are not dangerous but can
cause the injected dose to be decreased.
28. Insulin may be injected into the subcutaneous
tissue of:
The upper arm.
The anterior and lateral aspects of the thigh.
buttocks
Abdomen (with the exception of a circle with a 2-inch
radius around the navel).
Intramuscular injection is not recommended for
routine injections.
29.
30. The abdomen has the fastest rate of absorption,
followed by the arms, thighs, and buttocks.
33. A fold of skin should be grasped lightly then the
needle inject at a 90⁰ angle.
34.
35. Thin individuals or children should use short needles
or may need to pinch the skin and inject at a 45° angle
to avoid intramuscular injection, especially in the
thigh area.
36. Routine aspiration (drawing back on the injected
syringe to check for blood) is not necessary.
Particularly with the use of insulin pens, the needle
should be embedded within the skin for 5 second after
complete depression of the plunger to ensure complete
delivery of the insulin dose.
38. Rotation of the injection site is important to prevent
lipohypertrophy or lipoatrophy.
Rotating within one area is recommended rather than
rotating to a different area with each injection.
This practice may decrease variability in absorption
from day to day.
41. The vial in current use can be safely kept at room
temperature in a dark place without losing any
potency, as most patients will consume it within one
month .
42. In rural areas or when refrigerator are not available, it
advisable to put the vial in a plastic bag, tie a rubber
band and kept in wide mouth bottle filled with water.
43. During travel, insulin should be kept in a flask with ice
or in a hand bag or proper container if outside
temperature is less than 30.
45. Each insulin vial is stamped with an expiration date, a
slight loss of potency may occur after the vial has been
in use for _30 days, especially if stored at room
temperature.
46. If human insulin vials are stored under refrigeration
while in use and are used beyond 30 days, the
stability of these vials may be affected by a
number of factors; such factors include the number
of injections per day, volume of insulin remaining
in the vial, exposure to light, agitation, and
technique used for dose preparation.
48. Specific objectives:
1-To assess knowledge of diabetic patients towards
insulin therapy regarding:-
preparation of dose and Mechanism of injecting
insulin.
Site of injection and site change.
Storage.
Expired date.
Adverse effects.
49. 2-To observe practices of insulin therapy among
diabetic patients regarding; preparation of the
dose, site of injection and mechanism of injecting
insulin.
50. Materials And Methods
Study design & Study area:
This study is a Descriptive, cross-sectional survey
performed to assess the knowledge and practice of
diabetic patients towards insulin therapy in several
diabetic centers and hospitals in Khartoum state,
Sudan.
51. Sample size:
The sample size was estimated using the following formula:
Where n = minimum sample size z = 1.96 at 95%
confidence interval obtained from standard statistical table
of normal distribution p = estimated prevalence of non-
adherence to guidelines in a given population (obtained
from literature) q = precision i.e. prevalence of adherence
in a given population (1 – p) d = margin of error (0.05)
minimum sample size was found to be 385.
n= Z² p q /d²
52. Data collection tool:
The patients were interviewed and data was collected
by self administered, structured questionnaires.
53. Questionnaire consisted of both closed- and open-
ended questions.
In addition to questions on demographic information,
the questionnaire included questions on preparation
of dose ,site of injecting insulin, injecting technique ,
and storage of insulin.

60. Conclusion
According to this study it was conclude that the
majority of the study participants injecting insulin in
the subcutaneous tissue of thigh and upper arm.
Most of them changed their injection site .however ,
most the patients had a poor knowledge and practice
towards the proper way to draw insulin.
61. Most of the patients knew the hypoglycemic symptoms
and few of them complaint of lipodystrophy .
This study explored several aspects of insulin therapy
related knowledge and practice of patients and
identified the need for improvement in their practices
for insulin.
62. Recommendations
According to this study, the researcher is willing to
recommend the following:
The patient should be educated about the disease, the
complications and need of insulin in order to reduce the
progression of complications into adverse health
outcomes affecting quality of life .
63. They should be taught and reviewed about the
preparation of dose and the injection technique yearly
and earlier if the local site complications are present.
The insulin vial should be inspected before use.
The proper storage place of insulin should be
explained.
