Abstract Background Self-medication with antibiotics (SMA) is a major form of antibiotic misuse behaviors contributing to increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The main source of SMA usually comes from in-home leftover antibiotics which usually disposed as household waste without classification. Therefore, an antibiotic take-back program (ATBP) is urgently needed. Methods A pilot ATBP was launched in Liantang Village, Zhejiang Province from January to March, 2019. A total of 50 households were randomly selected for the baseline survey. A questionnaire was used to investigate their knowledge and antibiotic use behaviors. Health education leaflets and posters were distributed to each household. A village Wechat group was set up for health communication. Residents were encouraged to hand over those unused or expired antibiotics at home to the village clinic to redeem a commodity. The pilot ATBP was implemented for 30 days. The type, name, and amount of antibiotics were collected as after intervention data. Results All of 50 households finished the questionnaire. Although 27 (52.9%) agreed that keeping antibiotics at home would potentially increase risk of SMA, there were still 32 (64.0%) residents reported that they kept antibiotics at home and 25 (49%) residents indicated that their leftover antibiotics usually disposed as household waste. After the 30-day intervention, 10 (20.0%) households handed their in-home antibiotics or medicine to the village clinic. In total, 32 boxes of medicine including 17 (53.1%) boxes of antibiotics were recycled. All of 32 boxes of medicine could be classified into 19 specific types, of which there were 8 (42.1%) types of antibiotics, belonging to four broad categories: Cephalosporins, Penicillins, Macrolides, and Nitroimidazoles. In addition, there were also antifungal drug, antiviral agent, anti-inflammatory drug, and paracetamol tablets handed over by the villagers as antibiotics. Conclusion Using leaflets and social media to promote health education can reduce the risk of keeping antibiotics at home. Rural residents could not identify commonly used antibiotics even after health education. To conduct a broader intervention to recycle antibiotics, further study needs to focus on improving the antibiotic identification among the rural residents.

The article analyses the accessibility of medical facilities in rural areas of modern Russia and the specifics of their organization and development. The authors reveal causes why rural residents have much less opportunities to seek quality medical care than urban ones, what leads to a disparity between the inhabitants of the city and the village. The thesis is substantiated that state programmes that should make health services accessible to the rural population to a greater extent do not cope with the task at hand. An attempt is made to highlight the public’s response to the existing disparity in the health services of the villagers compared to urban dwellers. Such a reaction can be considered an outflow of people from rural areas, and an increase in self-medication among rural people as a result of the difficulty in obtaining health services. The decrease in the number of treatment facilities in rural areas leads to a deterioration in the medicine situation in rural areas. That, according to the authors of the article, justifies the need to study the issues associated with the provision of medical care to the rural population.

The study was set up to potentially determine if a stepwise multiple regression model composed of such factors as sociodemographics, attitudes, and behaviors in combination with selected biomedical measures can be used to predict adolescent at risk health conditions such as hypertension and to examine the implications for health education practice. The study population consisted of 650 ninth grade (14–16-year-old) students in the baseline survey (1981) and 606 twelfth grade students in the final survey of 1985. Data collected included clinical measures of height, weight, triceps skinfold thickness, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), resting pulse, and percent ideal body weight (PIBW). Self-reported health behaviors, attitudes, and sociodemographic variables were also assessed. Principal factor analysis with varimax rotation was employed to determine the grouping of the behavioral/attitudinal test items. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to determine the variables' potentials as predictors of blood pressure in adolescents. Significant potential predictors of male diastolic blood pressure included smoking, alcohol intake habits, obesity, pulse, race, age and parents' socioeconomic status; while predictors for the females focused on smoking, alcohol intake habits, stress, obesity, pulse and race. Potential indicators for male systolic blood pressure were smoking, alcohol habits, weight, height, race, parent's socioeconomic status; while smoking, alcohol habits, stress, obesity, pulse and race for the females. Community health promotion, prevention and educational programs directed at these potential predictors need to be implemented to encourage healthful lifestyles in the younger generation.

One of the principles of the Islamic faith is belief in destiny; “that Allah has power over all things and that Allah surrounds all things in (His) knowledge” (Al-Hilali 768). A human being does not have knowledge of his/her predestination, and thus acts in accordance with a choice and/or a desire from within him. Yet some people in the Saudi Arabian society blame destiny for their idleness as if fate were their problem. They should not attribute their laziness to destiny because Islam requires people to work, and their fate is unknown to them before it takes place. This story portrays how luck or fate can play an important role in the life of some people. The protagonist goes to the café to spend time and drink some coffee. There he gets acquainted with his rich uncle, who had left the village. While introducing the story setting, the author uses such words as “routine,” “mechanical,” “dull,” “gloom,” “boring,” etc.— words that reflect the protagonist’s state of mind, and how he envisions his life; it is a difficult and miserable life. Though he apparently goes to the café for a change of pace from the dull atmosphere at home, boredom follows him everywhere. Yousef is “alone to face the hardships of life....”; even in the café, he is alienated. So he wishes to marry, because a wife, as a partner, would support him, at least emotionally; but he questions “how can *I+ afford marriage expenses?” in a society where marriage requires wealth. He is no different from other main characters in this collection who are struggling to earn a living. Like Hassan, the protagonist of “Before the Station,” Yousef in this story assumes his late father’s responsibilities; he should “make a living for his mother and his two littlem brothers....3 ” The Saudi Arabian society expects the elder son to take care of the family if something bad happens to the father and, at the same time; it rarely provides any support for such families. Hence, Yousef should “become a sailor” who will face the “tyrannical cruelty” of the sea that delivered the deathblow to his father. He has no idea that his life will end up with such a struggle. It is Um-Kalthoom, a famous Arabian singer, whose songs give him momentum to struggle for survival. To him, she creates “an immortal melody” about pain and suffering—“a pleasant song chanted by sad people” like him. And as long as she manages to mold pain into “a pleasant song” between her lips, he has a chance to create a good life for his family out of the hardships he is facing through his daily struggle. Indeed, “a new dawn in *Yousef’s+ life” emerges after a lengthy night, and his fall changes into spring. While he is sitting in the café, a coincidence takes place: an old, rich man appears, looking for his nephew who, in the end, turns out to be Yousef himself. As is the case in “A Point of Change,” the author depicts in this story difficulties of living, and how chance or fate, as people there call it, may change one’s life.

Inappropriate disposal of stored medications leads to an increased risk of environmental toxicity. This study aims to examine practices of Jeddah residents with regard to disposing unused and/or expired medications and to view their opinions about the presence of drug take-back centres. Over a three-month period, 771 participants completed an online questionnaire, that focused on disposal methods and the importance of having drug retrieval centres. The data demonstrated that 91.57% of the participants reported discarding their expired medications in household waste, and 2.98% of them return their medications to hospitals or pharmacies. With respect to unused medications, 67.07% of the participants disposed of them in household waste, and only 10.84% donated their medications. This improper practice, however, contradicted the fact that 92.35% of the respondents were interested in knowing the appropriate methods of disposing. In addition, 90.66% agreed to the need for drug take-back centres. This study demonstrated that a low percentage of respondents knew about correct medication disposal. This emphasizes the need for the Ministry of Health, the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacies to collaborate on a national program about the proper methods of medication disposal and to initiate drug retrieval programs.
