Background and objective: Classical dengue (DF) is a viral disease transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito, usually Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus. Residents without access to sophisticated laboratory tools need simple clinical and/or laboratory indicators that can provide a reliable diagnosis of dengue fever before admission to the hospital. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate some clinical and laboratory features among confirmed cases with dengue fever in the government of Hajjah, Yemen to differentiate between dengue (DF) and other febrile diseases in the dengue affected population. Methods: Clinical data and blood samples were collected from 46 confirmed cases of dengue fever, which were hospitalizedat the Yasser and Thabit Hospital from September to December 2019. The collected samples were examined for some hematological tests, including: hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells counts (WBCs), and hematocrit (HCT), and a platelet count (PLT). Confirmation of dengue was performed with a non-structural protein tape (NS1). Results: The results obtained showed that males have a higher infection rate (73.91%) of DF compared to females (26.09%). The recurrence rate was also highest (69.56%) among the 16-30 year-olds. Regarding clinical symptoms, fever and headache occurred in 100%, nausea in 95.65%, and vomiting in 78.26% of the patients, while rashes were less frequent (19.56%). Hematological abnormalities frequently occurred with WBC (89.1%), PLT (84.78%), and Hb (63.04%), while HCT was only abnormal in 23.91% of cases. Conclusion: A high frequency of clinical and laboratory variants can distinguish dengue fever from other causes of infection; Dengue fever is most common in males between the ages of 16 and 30. This is the first report documenting the occurrence of dengue fever in Hajjah governorate, which requires more attention to prevent and control it. Further prospective studies are needed to build a valid and generalizable algorithm to guide the differential diagnosis of dengue fever in endemic countries such as Yemen.                    Peer Review History: Received 17 March 2021; Revised 11 April; Accepted 25 April, Available online 15 May 2021 UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system.

Dengue is a vector-borne viral disease. It is a disease caused by any one of the four closely related viruses (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, or DEN-4). The viruses are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes aegypti). Recently, there is an increase in the incidence of dengue fever in adult population in South Asian countries. With an increasing rate of adult dengue fever victims, the number of pregnant women infected with dengue has also increased. Dengue, during pregnancy may be associated with various complications, including abortions, preterm delivery, maternal mortality, low birth weight, neonatal admissions, and fetal anomalies. Timely intervention can improve the maternal as well as fetal outcome. This study was aimed to assess the clinical prole, maternal and fetal outcome of dengue fever during pregnancy and post-delivery. This study shows various outcomes in different trimesters of pregnanc

Biocidal Product

A biocidal product is a substance or mixture prepared to limit, destroy, neutralize or control the effects of a harmful microorganism, plants and animals. The active substance in a biocidal product can be a natural oil or extract, a chemical substance or a microorganism, virus or fungus. Biocides consist of four main groups: disinfectants, preservatives (wood, paint, etc.), pest control and other type of biocidal products. A biocidal substance can also be added to a product to make the product itself into a biocidal product. These products range from disinfectants, hand sanitizers, preservatives, insect repellents, to rodenticides and insecticides and are used to protect humans, animals, materials and articles by controlling the intended target organism by a chemical or biological action. To make sure the use of biocidal products do not have unacceptable risks for people, animals and the environment, they are regulated to control their marketing, sale and use. In the current study biocidal products have been overviewed in the scope of current European Union regulations, product types and conformity tests.

The replacement of consumed with foods containing high carbohydrates, fats and proteins exceed that the daily needs of body, causes many health problems, especially obesity. Complicated health problems have been trying to be solved with drugs, but it is not possible to control diseases if obesity is not resolved. Obesity causes inflammation, insulin resistance, vascular endothelial dysfunction, and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) increase. There are very few weight loss drugs with acceptable side effects, and these drugs are not given to people who are not considered obese according to their body mass index. For this reason, people seek the remedy in over the counter (OTC) (mostly products with active ingredients derived from plants) products or herbal teas. These products, which do not have direct effects, have mechanisms that can help and can be supportive with diet and sports. However, these products and teas that cannot be dosed by a knowledgeable healthcare professional can disrupt the balance of the body and cause various diseases. In this study, the effect levels with the mechanisms supporting weight loss on the biochemical parameters of the active substances in the herbal forms sold and consumed as diet tea, were evaluated.                   Peer Review History: Received: 4 July 2021; Revised: 11 August; Accepted: 6 September, Available online: 15 September 2021 Academic Editor:  Dr. Jennifer Audu-Peter, University of Jos, Nigeria, [email protected] UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system.

Background and Objectives: The over production of gastric acid results in peptic ulcer. This study was done to compare the effects of thymoquinone and Verapamil on volume and acidity of carbachol induced gastric secretion. Methods: There were 24 rabbits used, weighing 1-1.5 kg. The rabbits were kept on fasting for 48 hours. After fasting, the pylorus of each rabbit was ligated. Thymoquinone 5 mg/kg, Carbachol 600mg/kg and Verapamil 10 mg/kg body weight were administered intraperitoneally. Pylorus ligation method was used for getting gastric contents and titration method was used for finding out acidity. Results: Verapamil has been proved very effective for the treatment of many diseases. The drug verapamil inhibits the release of histamine, acetylcholine and gastrin. Verapamil has also shown effects in reducing the secretion of gastric acid. It was found that Thymoquinone reduced the volume, free and total acidity of gastric secretion, which were statistically highly significant when compared with Carbachol (P=0.000) but when we compared the results of Thymoquinones with that of Verapamil, it was non-significant. Conclusions:   It was concluded that Thymoquinone can be used for the treatment of peptic ulcer and all other diseases which are caused by increased gastric acidity like dyspepsia, gastritis and reflux esophagitis.

Objective:  Aspartame (or APM) is the name for an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in many foods and beverages. Aspartame is the methyl ester of a phenylalanine/aspartic acid dipeptide. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener. It is 200 times sweeter than sugar in typical concentrations, without the high-energy value of sugar. Aim of current study was to study the awareness of pharmacists about aspartame side effects. Materials and methods: This study was carried in greater Khartoum, questionnaire for pharmacists to see the consumption and the awareness of them to these interactions during the period from September 2014 to November 2014.Study was conducted among practicing pharmacists. A pre designed and tested questionnaire were used for each category to collect the data. From the hospitals manager. Results: 32% were aware of the number of aspartame products.

Peer Review History: Received 11 June 2020; Revised 28 June; Accepted 3 July, Available online 15 July 2020 UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system. The identity of the authors and, reviewers will be known to each other. This transparent process will help to eradicate any possible malicious/purposeful interference by any person (publishing staff, reviewer, editor, author, etc) during peer review. As a result of this unique system, all reviewers will get their due recognition and respect, once their names are published in the papers. We expect that, by publishing peer review reports with published papers, will be helpful to many authors for drafting their article according to the specifications. Auhors will remove any error of their article and they will improve their article(s) according to the previous reports displayed with published article(s). The main purpose of it is ‘to improve the quality of a candidate manuscript’. Our reviewers check the ‘strength and weakness of a manuscript honestly’. There will increase in the perfection, and transparency.
