Self-Medication of Anti-Biotics amongst University Students of Islamabad: Pre...IOSR Journals
The prevalence and pattern of self-medication with antibiotics among undergraduate and graduate community of students at different universities of Islamabad was evaluated using structured self-medication administered questionnaire. This cross-sectional, study was conducted in March 2013. A convenience sample was taken from 4 non-medical universities of the city of Islamabad, Pakistan. Data was analyzed using SPSS v14 and associations were tested using the Chi square test. A total of 210 questionnaires were randomly distributed with a respondent rate of 100%. The prevalence of self-medication was found to be 77.03% (Female: Male Ratio=1:1.14). The major reasons given for self-medicating with antibiotics were; 33.63% assumed knowledge on antibiotics (P=0.478), 26.64% prior experience on use (P=0.378), while 9.17% admitted lack of time to go for consultation (P=0.130). Majority of respondents however, self-medicate with antibiotics occasionally. The most reported antibiotic class (48.58%) was the β-lactams (as amoxicillin) while co-trimoxazole was rarely used (2.23%). The most reported condition for self-medication was respiratory tract infections (59%). About almost half of the respondents (46.79%) purchased the drugs from drug stores. These findings highlight the needs for planning interventions to promote the judicious use of antibiotics within the student population
UTSpeaks: A medicated nation
Has Australia lost its way in a pharmaceutical love affair?
Professor Charlie Benrimoj and Associate Professor Mary Bebawy from the University of Technology, Sydney present at this public lecture on prescription medication held on 13 September, 2011.
How many pills will you take today? Do you really need them? What good (and bad) will they do you?
For many of us prescription medications mean the difference between good and ill-health. There’s no denying their important place in fostering well-being for many. But is it time to reflect on the complex forces at work when managing disease and medications and how this impacts you the consumer?
Featuring leading UTS researchers in pharmacy and using example case studies, this public lecture takes a critical look at how medications are prescribed and consumed in Australia. It considers whether we are getting value for money, the ideal health outcomes we hope for and whether new approaches to the responsible use and explanation of medications could be adopted.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

EUROCAT 2011 symposium,
June 17 20 2011, Antwerp
2. Study design in birth defects epidemiology
• Majority of studies used case-control design
• Method of data collection:
Medical records
Self-administered questionnaire
Interview
• Often data collection takes place months
to years after delivery
• Data on the accuracy of recall of prescription drug use during
pregnancy are scarce
3. Research questions
1. What is the validity of a self-administered questionnaire to
assess prescription drug use just before and during
pregnancy?
2. Do maternal and pregnancy characteristics influence the
accuracy of questionnaire data on prescription drug use
during pregnancy?
4. Methods (1): Study population
• Imbedded in Eurocat Northern Netherlands
Population-based birth defects registry
Covers provinces of Groningen, Friesland, and Drenthe
Annually 18,000 births (10% of all births in Netherlands)
• Infants younger than 16 years and fetuses with birth defects
and genetic disorders eligible for registration
• Validation study: cases registered between 01-01-2009 and
30-06-2010 (n = 1,105)
5. Methods (2): Data collection
• Extensive questionnaire sent to parents
• Separate questionnaire on prescription drug use
Screening question: “Did you use any…”
Questions on specific indications / drug groups
o Specify drug in open-ended question
o Timing of use
• Pharmacy records checked for compliance
by maternal interviews
6. Methods (3): Statistical analyses
• Drugs ordered in three mutually exclusive categories:*
For chronic conditions
For occasional and short-term use
Pregnancy-related
• “Gold Standard”: Eurocat database (pharmacy records)
• Validity: sensitivity and specificity
• Only drugs with ≥10 true exposures
• Multivariable logistic regression analysis for
selected maternal and pregnancy characteristics
*Bakker et al. BJOG 2006
7. Results (1): Descriptives
• Response rate questionnaire 72% (n=777)
• 560 women were included
Pharmacy records not available for 55 women (8%)
Gold Standard not yet available for 162 women (21%)
• Prescription drug use:
Questionnaire:
o 233 women (42%)
o 129 different individual drugs / drug groups
Gold Standard:
o 389 women (69%)
o 221 different individual drugs / drug groups
8. Results (1): Descriptives
• Response rate questionnaire 72% (n=777)
• 560 women were included
Pharmacy records not available for 55 women (8%)
Gold Standard not yet available for 162 women (21%)
• Prescription drug use:
Questionnaire:
o 233 women (42%) Sensitivity: 59%
o 129 different individual drugs / drug groups
Gold Standard:
o 389 women (69%)
o 221 different individual drugs / drug groups
9. Results (2): Validity and reliability comparisons
• Sensitivity drug categories:
Corticosteroids: 12% (systemic corticosteroids: 50%)
Antihypertensives / thyroid therapy: 88%
• Sensitivity individual drugs:
Naproxen: 0%
Salbutamol: 73%
• Specificity: 93-100%
• Sensitivity highest for chronic drugs
• Sensitivity first 4 months pregnancy generally comparable or
slightly better than for complete pregnancy period
10. Results (3): Characteristics influencing disagreement
• Most maternal and pregnancy characteristics did not
influence level of disagreement
• Disagreement occurred more often among:
Younger women (<25 years of age)
Women who had fertility problems
Women who smoked during pregnancy
Women who had miscarriage / stillbirth
Women who completed questionnaire
>1 year after delivery
11. Discussion
• Strengths and limitations:
+ Choice of gold standard
+ High consent rate to obtain pharmacy records
– only mothers of infants with major birth defects
– no information on OTC drugs, low prevalence individual drugs
– screening question
• Validity comparable with studies conducted in the ‘80s and ‘90s
• Use of infants with genetic disorder as control group does not
seem to introduce recall bias
12. Conclusion
• Validity of self-administered questionnaire on prescription drug
use was generally moderate to poor for most drugs
• Future retrospective studies need additional data sources for
prescription drug use
• Drug-specific questions could increase sensitivity
• Data collection should be completed before or as shortly after
delivery as possible
