     summary: The availability was not con- sidered a barrier for immunosuppressive medications adherence; however, this study revealed a significant association between drug shortage and immunosuppressant’s adherence. In our study, side effects was significantly associated with immunosuppressive medications adherence (P = 0.022); this can be attributed to the fact that only 36.5% of the participants stated that their doctors counseled them about the importance of medications compliance, and this may be contributed to the higher percentage of nonadherent patients which was found in this study.

     summary: The correlation between cytological findings and PCR results are set out in Table 1, showing a Chi-square with p-value > 0.05 which was considered statistically insignificant (<0.05 was considered significant). PCR amplification of MTB gene The amplification was carried out using 10× PCR buffer (10 mMtris-Hcl, Ph 8.3, 50 mM KCL, 1.5 mMMgcl2); 2.5mM of each dNTPs, DNA template and i-TaqTMDNA Polymerase (5U/μl) in a final volume 20 μL. Reactions were performed in a thermal cycler TC-412 with the following thermal profile: primary denaturing at 94ºC for 5 min, denaturing at 94ºC for 30 sec, annealing temperature at 62ºC for 30 sec, extension at 72ºC for 1 min, and a final extension at 72ºC for 30 sec for 40 cycles for the outer PCR.

     summary: Therefore, despite focusing on developing smart healthcare technologies, scholars also need to include domestic and international stakeholders from multi-disciplines such as legal, IT, medical, phar- maceutical, nursing and business to promote a highly reliable healthcare operational Model. However, there are some potential barriers to adopting healthcare 5.0 across healthcare industries, such as heterogeneity of the clinical data, irregularity, and interactiveness during the formu- lation of clinical information, limited computational capabilities, inadequate utilization of energy, lack of validity among sensor’s data, and lack of robustness among intelligent models.

     summary: Therefore, it could be said that as the working time of nurses increased, a decrease in patient safety attitudes were observed, and they exhibited more patient safety attitudes as they got patient safety training. Conclusion: From this point of view, determining the weekly working hours of nurses more appropriately and making them more trained about patient safety may play a key role in creating a higher level of patient safety attitude.

The decrease in the level of heterogeneity (I2) was recorded as 21% in the three studies, Ali et al., 2008, Bliss et al., 1996, and Elamin et al., 2017, and the hypothesis of homogeneity of the studies with a P value = 0.28 was accepted. Additionally, studies of Ali et al., 2008 and Farman et al., 2020 were removed to reverse the heterogeneity caused with their inclusion on the meta-analysis of urea (I2 = 97%, P value = 0.05) reaching homogeneity (I2 = 55%, P value = 0.14).

     summary: 0.417 4. Discussion Drug use evaluation (DUE) is an on-going, authorized and systematic quality improve- ment process, which is designed to review drug use and/or prescribing patterns, provide feedback of results to clinicians and other relevant groups, develop criteria and stan- dards which describe optimal drug use and promote appropriate drug use through education and other interventions. According to the standard criteria the justification of drug use, process indicators, and outcome measures were investigated along with patient’s demographic data.

About 4.2% of the study samples said that handwashing is important for the preterm care while gavage feeding, showing the nurses’ poor knowledge with respect to Abaker’s study [18]. About 97.2% of the responders stated that gavage feeding tube should be checked and fixed with an adhesive tip, and 94.4% of them said that the correct position of the tube in the stomach should also be checked, showing that the nurses had a good practical knowledge of Quesenberry and Hillyers study, which list handwashing, measuring the placement of the tube from tip of the nose to ear lobe and then up to xiphoid, lubricating the tube with lubrication jelly, checking the correct position of the tube in the stomach, withdrawing injection air from the stomach and aspirating the gastric content, fixing the tube with adhesive tip, disposing waste material as per hospital policy as important factors for preterm care

     summary: Results: 18-FDG PET-CT remains a promising method with increasing clinical utility not only across a wide variety of malignancies, but also among gastric cancer patients. Regarding bone metastases, whole-body bone scanning is the most preferred way to evaluate the status, so as, one study revealed the comparison between the value of FDG-PET and whole-body bone scintigraphy for the determination of bone metastasis in gastric cancer patients.

     summary: Study limitations The study was limited by exclusion of mothers below 18 years, selection bias caused by the use of convenient sampling, PPD women were more likely not to attend a six- week follow up, so the 10.9% figure is less likely to accurately estimate the true PPD prevalence. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of postpartum depression among Sudanese women as well as determining the association between postpartum depression (PPD), socio-demographic, and obstetric characteristics.

     summary: Concerning nursing, the common reply to student error has been some type of punishment, vary from a verbal warning to abrupt release or dismiss. Also, several faculty members accept that individual self-vigilance is what matters most and that if an error or a near-miss occurs, the student is at a mistake; if the fact of student errors becomes open knowledge, clinical organization may be unwilling to have students in their facilities [5]. Education in nursing schools is expected to be up-to-date and of high quality, which should be done by ensuring that the new novice nurses are able to offer safe patient care in a variety of clinical settings[6].

     summary: All parameters were compared using the Pearson’s correlation test; the results showed that ABG O2 saturations were closer to the SPO than the PPO but the differences were not statistically significant as the Pearson’s correlation values for all parameters were >0.8. We also compared the parameters by Bland Altman Plot and all observations were outside 95% CI (confidence interval), which means that there was a good agreement between O2 saturations by all three methods, that is, ABG, SPO, and PPO; however, ABG O2 saturations were closer to SPO than PPO but this difference was not statistically significant.

     summary: Fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin level, and thyroid function test (TFT) were measured for each candidate and IR was estimated using the HOMA-IR equation. 50–150 nmol/l, fasting blood glucose (FBG) < 100 mg/dl, and insulin level: 1.1–32.0 IU/ml. HOMA-IR stands for Homeostatic Model Assessment of IR.

     summary: In an attempt to find new treatments, researchers are also focusing on preparing and screening drug metal complexes. Apart from being a potential candidate to treat COVID-19, drug metal complexes could be a source of multifold benefits, for example, the human body needs metal ions to perform vital functions such as an iron-containing protein (hemoglobin) that carries oxygen to all tissues of the body.
