DEPRESSION AND DRUG NON- ADHERENCE

Objectives: To determine the different levels of drug non-adherence in patients suffering from Depression. Design: A casecontrolled study. Place and Duration of Study: Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, From February 2008 to August 2008. Patients and Method: 50-Cases were selected from the out patient department with the DSM-IV diagnosis of major depressive disorder, 50- non psychotic patients were selected as controls. Both sexes were included. The basic socio-demographic characteristics and the clinical profile of all the patients were collected. The level of drug non-adherence was recorded at week 4, week 8 and week 12. SPSS version 15 was used for statistical analysis. The applied method for group comparison was the Chi-square test. Results: The age in mean was 33.78 ± 11.30 for the sample and 30.65 ± 9.40 for control group. 38% of these patients were males and 62% females. 58% were married and uneducated from lowersocio-economical class. 70% of the study group and 59% of control group received treatment. The rates of non adherence were statistically not significant at week 4. However, at week 8 and week 12 the rates of non adherence were statistically significant with the p values of less than (0.001) respectively. Discussion: Rates of non-adherence with psychotropic / antidepressants are difficult to summarize because they varywith setting, diagnosis, severity of illness and type of adherence difficulties. Drug non-adherence is a serious clinical problem and it has direct effects on illness management and prognosis. Conclusions: The available evidence suggests that the outcome for patients who vary medication doses without consulting a professional is poor.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) rich in growth factors has evolved as an important therapy for periodontal tissue regeneration. A healthy blood donors obtained for homologous PRP (h-PRP). The Freeze-drying h-PRP sample provides an effective method to ensure a longer shelf-life. The h-PRP samples are subjected to crossmatch testing in clinics to prevent any immune response in recipients. The present study aimed to evaluate the differences in donor compatibility on crossmatch test results towards fresh and freeze-dried h-PRP (FD h-PRP). This was a laboratory experiment, h-PRP prepared according to the protocol of blood bank, and 40 recipients blood samples divided into two groups, fresh h-PRP (control group) and FD h-PRP. The crossmatch test was performed to evaluate h-PRP compatibilities by using the gel-test method. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results of the study showed that the crossmatch test on FD h-PRP samples was 100 % compatible and could increase the compatibility results of the donor. the FD h-PRP was safe to become donors and clinical applications.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate symmetry of the lip and nose in patients with CUCLP after primary cheiloseptoplasty (Afroze technique), in comparison to non-cleft controls. Methodology: In this prospective study, forty-four patients with operated non-syndromic CUCLP were included. The control group consisted of 44 volunteers without cleft defects of approximately the same age and sex. Primary septoplasty was performed in conjunction with the cleft lip (CL) repair using the Afroze incision. 3D facial images were acquired using 3D stereophotogrammetry. After a 3D cephalometric analysis of the lip and nose was performed in both groups, linear and volumetric data were acquired. Lip and nose symmetry were calculated and compared using Student`s t-tests as well as the Chi square test. Results: For all measurements, the control group was up to 36% closer to perfect symmetry compared to the CUCLP group after primary surgery. This difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: After primary cheiloseptoplasty according to the Afroze technique in patients with CUCLP, asymmetry in the nose and lip area still exists as compared to non-cleft controls. Although non-cleft individuals also show some degree of asymmetry, the results of this study stress the difficulty in obtaining near normal symmetrical relations.

Abstract Background Availability of laboratory testing is the prerequisite for early diagnosis of syphilis. This study aimed to understand the availability of laboratory testing for syphilis among different hospitals in Shandong province. Methods Basic information on hospitals provided clinical health service for sexually transmitted infections in Shandong province and type of laboratory tests for syphilis provided was collected and analyzed using Chi-square test. Results A total of 410 and 456 hospitals provided sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinical services were surveyed in 2012 and 2018, respectively. Significant differences in the availability of nontreponemal tests were observed among hospitals with different levels (X 2 =6.624, p=0.010) and types (X 2 =17.752, p=0.001) in 2012 but not in 2018. A significant difference in the availability of treponemal tests was observed at different levels in 2012 (X 2 =9.937, p=0.002) but not in 2018. Significant differences in the availability of nontreponemal tests, titre of nontreponemal tests, and treponemal tests were observed among hospitals with different affiliations in 2018 (p=0.000; X 2 =15.274, p=0.000; p=0.021) but not in 2012. The availability of both nontreponemal test and treponemal test for syphilis among hospitals in 2018 was higher than that in 2012 (90.13% vs. 57.56%, X 2 =121.219, p=0.000). Conclusions Further efforts are needed to reduce the disparity in availability of laboratory testing for syphilis among different hospitals in China.
