ABSTRACTBackgroundThe Coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) pandemic is not abating and there is no approved treatment yet. The development of vaccines is hoped to help in addressing this disease outbreak. However, in the face of anti-vaccines uprise, it is important to understand the factors that may influence the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines as this will influence how successful the fight against COVID-19 will be in the long term.MethodsA cross-sectional study among 776 adult Nigerians (age ≥18 years) was conducted in the 36 States of Nigeria and the Capital City with online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 5 sections: socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, respondent’s knowledge of COVID-19, respondents risk perception of COVID-19, vaccination history of respondents, and willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Descriptive analysis of variables was done and multivariate analysis using logistic regression was carried out to determine the predictors of uptake of a potential COVID-19 vaccine. The level of significance was predetermined at a p-value < 0.05. Data analysis was done with SPSS version 21.ResultsMost of the respondents were male (58.1%). Most participants were willing to take a potential COVID-19 vaccine (58.2%), while 19.2% would not take it with 22.6% indecisive. 53.5% would prefer a single dose COVID-19 vaccine. For vaccine uptake, being male (p= 0.002) and the perception that “vaccines are good” (p< 0.001) were the positive predictor of uptake of a potential COVID-19 vaccine.ConclusionMost Nigerians were willing to take a potential COVID-19 vaccine with the male gender and perception that “vaccines are good” being positive predictors. There is a need for public enlightenment aim at encouraging those that are indecisive or averse to receiving COVID-19 vaccines.

Total-Cholesterol(TC) to HDL-Cholesterol(HDL-C) ratio in athletes is well-known better than sedentary people. However, there is lack of information about comparison of TC/HDL-C in different groups of cyclists based on cycling touring characteristics and anthropometry parameters. This study was to compare TC/HDL-C ratio among groups based on type of tour participated in cyclists population.Eighty-eight participants were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Mean differences of parameters between groups analyzed by One-Way Anova test and independent t-test, while multivariate analyses was done by binary logistic-regression. P value &lt;0.05 was considered to statistical significance.TC/HDL-C ratio in all groups were less than 4.5. There is no differences of TC-levels (NC240K: 216.6±55.04, TdB140K: 208.1±27.13, TdB100K: 203.1±31.95; p=0.427). But there is significantly different of HDL-C (NC240K: 68.9±19.09, TdB140K: 52.1±13.9, TdB100K: 53.6±12.45; p=0.0001) and TC/HDL-C ratio (NC240K: 3.3±1.12, TdB140K: 4.2±1.07, TdB100K: 4.0±1.06; p=0.007). Based on TC/HDL ratio (≥4 or &lt;4) groups, there were differences of weight, BMI, waist-circumference, hip-circumference and type of cycling-touring (p&lt;0.05). Finally BMI and type of cycling-touring were the most-influenced factor.Long-distance cyclists have a synergistic effect of lipid profile and anthropometry measurements, and the heavier cycling touring participated that represent cycling training habits tend to have lower TC/HDL ratio(&lt; 4).

Donated Blood

Introduction: Donated blood is very crucial and life-saving for those who require large volumes of blood in any medical emergency. Many blood donation camps are routinely organized to fill this void of demand and supply. In a university campus associated with a hospital, it is important that student volunteers should contribute towards the increase in demand for blood during times of crisis. This makes it imperative to understand their perception of this noble cause. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 354 volunteers of a university campus using convenience sampling. The primary outcome was to assess the factors that influence voluntary blood donation among the volunteers. The adjusted association was performed using logistic regression. R Console was used for statistical analysis. Odds ratios and p-value < 0.05 with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to determine the level of significance. Results: A total of 354 responses were received and analysed. Among these, 38.98%, (n=138) participants had donated blood at least once. Factors that were significantly associated with blood donation were gender, being a member of an NGO, frequency of volunteering activities, fear of needles, and belief that they would acquire the disease during blood donation. Conclusion: The majority of the participants had good knowledge of blood donation, but their attitude and practice did not fall along the same lines. The study also highlighted that attitude towards donating blood is high among the participants who are associated with the NGOs or participate in voluntary activities. Voluntary work induces a ‘sense of giving something to the society which appears to be facilitating factor and an effective measure to encourage blood donation among youth.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid as well as protein metabolism virtually affecting every organ in the human body. Dyslipidemia is a group of biochemical disorders, which is frequently seen in diabetic individuals. Dyslipidemia associated with diabetes has a major role in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in diabetic patients visiting OPD of Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly over a period of 6 months. A total of 320 patients were randomly selected for the study and divided into 2 groups depending on HbA1c levels.Results: BMI of controlled diabetics was 26.2±1.91 kg/m2 and of uncontrolled was 27.56±4.36 kg/m2 respectively with a statistically significant p value. Total Cholesterol levels in controlled group was 185.63±52.32 mg% and 217.83±61.33 mg% in uncontrolled group with a p value of 0.0005 which is highly significant. Same was seen in triglyceride and VLDL levels in controlled group which was 173.88±101.77 mg% and 31.5±12 mg% respectively and 203.33±83.7 mg% and 40.67±17.66 mg% in uncontrolled group respectively.Conclusions: The diabetic patients with poor glycemic control had statistically significant high values of Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, VLDL levels and significant low HDL Levels. Good glycemic control can result in improvement in the lipid panel and the patients can be prevented from the high cardiovascular and neurological risk.
