Objectives: Vaccinations work with different mechanisms to offer protection against disease; however, process of immunity building can cause symptoms. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the immediate side effects of COVID–19 vaccination in the Pakistani Population. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Foundation University College of Dentistry, Islamabad from February to April 2021. 0.5 mL per dose of the Covid-19 vaccine was administered to the candidates. These 205 candidates receiving vaccination were then interviewed investigating the adverse effects of the vaccine. Post-vaccination side effects were compared among categorical groups using the Chi-Square test, whereas post-vaccination side effects were compared with age using independent samples T-test. A p-value of ≤0.05 was statistically significant. Results: Among post-vaccination side effects, fever was reported by 69 participants, while 56 of 205 reported soreness, redness, and swelling at the injection site. It was reported by 42/205 participants to have felt chills and rigor, whereas gastrointestinal disturbance and flu-like symptoms were reported in 55/205 and 28/205 participants, respectively. Younger participants were more likely to develop gastrointestinal disturbance and flu-like symptoms following vaccination as compared to older participants. Conclusion: Malaise, headache, and fever were observed to be the most common side effects of the vaccine, moreover there was a linear relationship between manifestations of adverse effects and history of comorbidities. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.7.4522 How to cite this:Abbas S, Abbas B, Amir S, Wajahat M.

Abstract Treatment of hypothyroidism is predominantly with levothyroxine due to its ability to generate stable T3 levels and its long half-life. Many patients report continued hypothyroid symptoms despite normal TSH values on levothyroxine and request to switch to desiccated animal thyroid extract. Desiccated thyroid extract is less used for fear of side effects and risks. There are only a handful of studies available comparing desiccated animal thyroid extract to levothyroxine. We conducted a retrospective study on 250 hypothyroid patients over the age of 18 who presented to our clinic from 2008-2018. We excluded patients who had a history of thyroid cancer and documented non-adherence. We analyzed 125 patients on levothyroxine (males=43, females=82) and 125 patients who were on levothyroxine but chose to switch to Armour Thyroid (males=7, females=118). We examined the following variables; when comparisons of proportions were made between the two groups, N-1 chi square test was used to determine significance. 1. Reason for change to Armour Thyroid from levothyroxine: Top reasons were fatigue (n=51/125, 40.8%), inability to lose weight (n=32/125, 25.6%), mental fog (n=8/125, 6.4%), hair loss (n=8/125, 6.4%) and desire for a natural product (n=7/125, 5.6%) 2. Percentage of patients complaining of fatigue/weight gain in euthyroid state: 16/125 (12.8%) of patients on Armour Thyroid and 29/125 (23.2%) of patients on levothyroxine had complaints of fatigue and weight gain with a normal TSH. This 10.4% difference was significant (p value=0.033, 95% CI 0.84% to 19.8%). 3. Presence of side effects: 24/125 (19.2%) patients on Armour Thyroid discontinued it before 6 months. The top reasons were no improvement of symptoms (n=9/24, 37.5%), palpitations (n=5/24, 20.8%), worsening anxiety (n=3/24, 12.5%), cost (n=2/24, 8.33%), and loss of appetite (n=2/24, 8.33%). 5/125 (4.00%) patients on levothyroxine chose to discontinue it before 6 months. The reasons included presence of palpitations (n=3/5, 60.0%), hair loss (n=1/5, 20.0%), and gluten intolerance (n=1/5, 20.0%). A total of 11/125 (8.8%) had adverse effects from Armour Thyroid while 4/125 (3.2%) of patients on levothyroxine had adverse effects to the medication. The difference of 5.6% leaned toward clinical significance and trended toward being statistically significant (p value=0.06, CI -0.4842% to 12.1677%). Our research shows that patients generally feel better on Armour Thyroid compared to levothyroxine. Armour Thyroid is an effective medication to use for patients who remain symptomatic on levothyroxine and should be considered as a viable option in clinical practice. However, our study also indicated that patients may have more adverse effects on Armour Thyroid when compared to levothyroxine and further studies are needed comparing the two medications. Limitations of our study include the retrospective nature of the study and the sample size.

Objective: To investigate the implication of quality of obturation and coronal restoration on periapical tissue in failed endodontically treated teeth. Study Design and Setting: This cross-sectional research was performed in the Operative Department of BUMDC on 187 patients reporting with root canal failure from March 2019 to August 2019. Methodology: Patients of both genders aged between 20-60 years were considered for this study. Single and multirooted teeth indicated for repeated endodontic treatment due to under filled, overfilled obturation, voids in obturation, absence and presence of coronal restoration were included. One operator carried out clinical examination of the teeth and periapical radiograph was taken for each patient by using E-Speed film and evaluated by the same operator using an illuminated viewer box. SPSS 17 for windows software was used for data entering and chi- square test was applied for statistical calculation of the outcomes. Results: Total n=187 endodontic treated failed teeth were evaluated, out of which 52.9% were of females and 47.1% to males. The number of obturations with acceptable length were 81(43.3%), with adequate density were 107 (57.2%) and with consistent taper were 116(62%). Periapical lesion was observed in 118(63.1%) cases. Quality of obturation significantly affects the periapical health. Cross tabulation showed a significant association (p-value <0.000) between inadequate coronal restoration and changes in periapical area. Conclusion: The successful prognosis of the root canal treatment relies on the good quality of obturation and adequate coronal filling.

Level Of Knowledge

Hypertension is one of the number one causes of death and disability in the world. Hypertension contributes nearly 9.4 million deaths from cardiovascular disease each year. Hypertension can cause undesirable effects, it needs good handling, one of them is by doing a hypertension diet. To carry out a hypertension diet requires knowledge, lack of knowledge can increase risk factors for hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship of the level of knowledge about hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City. This research method is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach conducted at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City 2018. Sampling technique is a total sampling with a sample of 64 people in 2018 determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study were analyzed with frequency distribution and then tested with the Chi-square test. Based on the results of this study indicate that of the 64 respondents found elderly who have a good level of knowledge are 41 people (64.1%), 48 people (75.0%) have an age range between 60-70 years. 27 people (42.2%) elderly have the last high school education and 40 people (62.5%) have jobs as entrepreneurs. Elderly people who have normal blood pressure are 40 people (62.5%), and those affected by hypertension are 24 people (37.5%). The elderly who have a family history of hypertension is 21 people (32.8%) and those who do not have a history of hypertension are 43 people (67.2%). Chi-Square Test analysis results show the significance value p = 0.009. This number is significant because the p-value is smaller than the significance level (α) ≤ 5% (0.05), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship about the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. From the results of this study it was concluded that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City in 2016.
