A Clinical Audit Report on Compliance to Hepatitis B Vaccination in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in a Primary Health Care Centre in Qatar: OAJBS Publishers

A Clinical Audit Report on Compliance to Hepatitis B Vaccination in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in a Primary Health Care Centre in Qatar by Maxwell Sleiman* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Objective: Numerous infectious diseases can be prevented in adults through a “lifetime vaccination strategy.” The burden of hepatitis B disease was found to be greater in diabetic patients. Since 2011, the American Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that diabetic patients be vaccinated against hepatitis B. Patients with diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk of contracting hepatitis B virus infection and its complications.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine compliance with the audit criterion for hepatitis B vaccination among diabetic patients and to recommend changes in practice to improve hepatitis B vaccination coverage among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients under the age of 60. Methodology: A random sample of 50 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus aged less than 60 years who presented to Umm Ghuwailina Health Centre (UMG-HC) during the study period will be evaluated for hepatitis B vaccination records during the audit period, which runs from August 1st to October 31st, 2019.

Results: Only 8% (6.8% men and 9.5% women) in the audit group had received hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis B vaccination coverage was found to be low in patients with diabetes mellitus, indicating their vulnerability to this deadly disease.

Conclusion: Hepatitis B vaccination coverage was extremely low among a randomly selected diabetic population in a primary health care centre in Qatar. This may increase the risk of infection with hepatitis B in this population. In patients with diabetes, the hepatitis B vaccine is immunogenic and has a similar safety profile to vaccination in healthy controls. Due to the fact that increasing age is generally associated with a decline in seroprotection rates, the hepatitis B vaccine should be administered as soon as possible following diabetes diagnosis. Much work is required to raise awareness among health care providers and diabetic patients about the importance of hepatitis B vaccination.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron m...

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment: OAJBS Publishers

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible. This ...
