Inadequate management of asthma can lead to physical handicap and death. The study aimedto assess knowledge and practice of
asthmatic participants for use meter dose inhaler device. A descriptive study involved 105 participants, conducted at public
hospitals in Khartoum state from July to October2014. Questionnaire and observational check list were used for data collection.
The study enrolled (51%) female and (49%) male. Most of participants their age group ranged, between 36 to 45 years, (35%)
were workers and (31%) received University education while 44 % had a chronic asthma. Level of participant’s knowledge was a
very good regard care and storage of the device; sequent (77% - 79%). There were(64%) had moderate level of knowledge for
preparation dose (69%) replacing inhaler device and cleaning mouthpiece (60%), while 56% had very poor knowledge to rinse
mouth after puff. A highly significant difference between the level of knowledge and education (P value<0.001) regard replacing
the inhaler device, and cleansing mouthpiece. All participants demonstrated correct technique of using inhaler device, position,
removed, pressed replacement the cap, shaking inhaler device and took deep breath. While half of them had moderate skill level
for opened mouth technique, continuous breathing and rinsed mouth after puffuse, and fewer of participants had poor technique
during repeating the puff. Most of participants reflected moderate to poor level of knowledge and have very good practice for
correct used inhaler meter device; this reveals the discrepancy between knowledge and practice.

Change in Practice of using Inhalers for Outpatients have Chronic Obstructive...AI Publications
Objectives: To evaluate changes in the practice of using inhalers for outpatients have chronic obstructive pulmonary at Nam Dinh General Hospital after the intervention. To compare the effectiveness between intervention methods of direct consultation (DC) and direct counseling method incorporating information technology (DC – IT). Subject and method: Intervention study on two groups of patients, 30 patients have chronic obstructive pulmonary in each group with similar characteristics who were treated at Nam Dinh General Hospital from October 2019 to May 2020. Two research groups analyzed and compared the practice of patients at two times, the first time (T1) before the intervention and the second time (T2) after the intervention was 3 months with 3 consecutive interventions (each intervention was 1 month). One group intervened with the direct consultation method; one group intervened with the direct counseling method incorporating information technology. Data were collected by the observational method, using the inhaler procedure and entered and processed on SPSS 20.0 software. Results: The group of patients was intervened with the direct counseling method about practice using inhalers increased after the intervention, the average point of inhaler practice before the intervention was 6.50 ± 1.63 and after the intervention was 8.57 ± 0.63 with p <0.05. The group of patients who intervened with direct counseling method incorporating information technology about using an inhaler increased after the intervention from 6.70 ± 1.29 (before the intervention) to 8.80 ± 0.61 (after intervention), with p <0.05. The efficiency index of using the inhaler dose of (DC – IT) group was higher than the DC group at 63%. Conclusion: The average of the two groups increased significantly after the intervention. However, the intervention method of DC – IT was more effective than the DC method.
Barriers and facilitators to community pharmacy management of people with ost...NIK HADIJAH
Background: Community pharmacists can partner in collaborative management of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis. However, in Malaysia, the involvement of community pharmacists in the provision of osteoporosis care is minimal.
Objectives: To identify the barriers and facilitators faced by Malaysian community pharmacists in providing osteoporosis care.
Methods: Semi-structured one-on-one interviews and focus groups discussions (in groups of 5 participants), were conducted from October 2013 to July 2014. Community pharmacists were purposively sampled based on their years of experience and place of work. One of three trained researchers interviewed the participants using a topic guide. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed thematically using an interpretative description approach.
Results: Nineteen community pharmacists participated (one-on-one interviews=9, focus group discussions=10). None of the participants had directly provided pharmaceutical care to people with osteoporosis. The main barriers were lack of public awareness (n=17); lack of accurate screening tools for community pharmacists (n=16); lack of knowledge (n=13), time (n=6) and collaboration between pharmacists and doctors (n=14); and lack of support from the government and pharmaceutical society (n=11). The pharmacists wanted more public awareness campaigns on osteoporosis (n=17), more continuing education on osteoporosis (n=11), a simple unbiased osteoporosis management guideline (n=13), inter-professional collaboration (n=18), and reimbursement for osteoporosis care (n=8) to facilitate the provision of osteoporosis care. All participants had equally shared the same view on the barriers and facilitators to provide osteoporosis care.
Conclusions: This study has provided an insight into the barriers and needs of community pharmacists to provide osteoporosis care. The findings may help to develop interventions in supporting community pharmacists to improve osteoporosis care in the community.
Complementary therapy use by patients and parents of children with asthma and...home
Complementary therapy use reflects patients' and parents' underlying desire for greater selfcare
and need of opportunities to address some of their concerns regarding NHS asthma care. Selfmanagement
of chronic conditions is increasingly promoted within the NHS but with little attention to
complementary therapy use as one strategy being used by patients and parents. With their desire for selfhelp,
complementary therapy users are in many ways adopting the healthcare personas that current
policies aim to encourage.

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.

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

1. Management of Pulmonary Tuberculosis by Private Practitioners in Meerut AshishYadav, S. K. Garg, H. Chopra, S. K. Bajpai, T. Bano, S. Jain, A. Kumar Department of Community Medicine L.L.R.M. Medical College, Meerut
2. Background A large segment of the population seek health care from the private sector that includes private medical practitioners. Patients seeking health care from these service providers include a significant proportion of tuberculosis patients who are deprived of free TB services provided under RNTCP. 2 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
3. The private health sector did not have a strong presence when the National Tuberculosis Programme was designed. Over the years, however, the private sector has outgrown the public health sector, and today three-quarters of India’s health expenditure takes place in the private sector. 3 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
4. About 80% of the qualified medical practitioners in the country are in the private sector and more than half of TB cases seek treatment from private practitioners. 4 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
5. Objective To assess the management modalities of Pulmonary Tuberculosis by private practitioners of Meerut. 5 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
6. Material and Methods A cross sectional study was undertaken covering all the private practitioners registered under IMA, Meerut Branch. 6 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav Private Practitioners
7. Among a total of 171 registered practitioners, only 154 practitioners participated in the study giving an overall response rate of 90.1% (154 out of 171). They were interviewed by a predesigned and pretested questionnaire about the various diagnostic & treatment modalities of pulmonary TB practiced by them. 7 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
17. Drug combinations used by the private practitioners for Intensive Phase 17 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
18. Use of Sputum Smear Examination as a criteria to stop the treatment 18 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
19. Parameters used as a criteria to stop treatment of tuberculosis 19 10/31/2010 Dr AshishYadav
20. Conclusion Sputum examination is being neglected for diagnosis & as a criterion for stopping treatment. There is marked reliance on X-ray among private practitioners for management of Pulmonary TB. 20 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
21. There is an urgent need to strengthen the RNTCP training of the private practitioners and sensitize them for their reorientation towards standard management of tuberculosis. 21 10/31/2010 Dr Ashish Yadav
