01) and adherence to treatment (p<0.01), the reverse was observed for complexity of the APS system (p<0.01). We also found statistically significant relationship of patient satisfaction with treatment adherence (p<0.01) which was positively moderated by cordial doctor-patient communication.

Findings suggest that making the APS system more compatible with patient preference can greatly improve upon patient experience satisfaction and adherence to medical treatment for effective therapeutic outcomes.

In the light of its benefits to patient care and outcomes, APS should be given priority over walk-in services in specialty clinics of developing countries.

The iron overload status in thalassemia patients has been recognized as a potential way to measure liver iron concentration (LIC) levels using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic viral hepatitis on the level of serum ferritin in patients with thalassemia. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving chronic viral hepatitis infection. Mean serum ferritin and LIC levels were recorded. The LIC values were used to divide the patients into two groups; a higher LIC group (>5 mg Fe/g) and a lower LIC group ( less then 5 mg Fe/g). Mean serum ferritin levels were then compared between the two LIC groups. We identified 32 thalassemia patients comprising of 13 chronic viral hepatitis patients, seven patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV), and six patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV). With regard to the group with higher LIC values, the mean serum ferritin levels in the hepatitis group were significantly higher than for those in the non hepatitis group (1776 ± 488 vs. 967 ± 860 ng/mL, p = 0.03). Furthermore, the linear correlation between the mean serum ferritin levels and the viral load in the non transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT) group were found to be significantly correlated (r = 0.7, p = 0.04). Chronic viral hepatitis was determined to be a possible casualty of disproportionately high ferritin levels in the NTDT group.Endoperoxides (EPs) like artemisinin following cleavage of their EP bridge can kill parasites via generation of carbon-centered radicals. As the presence of low molecular mass iron and/or heme is crucial, this study aimed to establish the influence of iron on the leishmanicidal action of artemisinin when present in differing amounts in culture media. In promastigotes cultured in Schneiders insect medium (SIM), that had a 8.0-fold higher amount of iron as compared to Medium 199 (M199), the impact of artemisinin on cell viability, redox status, labile iron pool (LIP), and Annexin-V positivity was evaluated. In SIM, the IC50 of artemisinin was 25.50-fold lower than M199, and in both media its cytotoxicity was decreased by the addition of hemin or following chelation of Fe2+ by Deferoxamine (DFO). EGFR phosphorylation In SIM vis-a-vis M199, artemisinin caused a greater redox imbalance which translated into a higher degree of externalization of phosphatidylserine and depletion of the LIP. The presence of a higher proportion of iron in SIM as compared to M199 significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of artemisinin in Leishmania promastigotes, and was attributed to a higher degree of iron-mediated cleavage of its EP bridge that led to a higher generation of free radicals.Purpose This study sought to explore and describe the experiences of recovery among community-living older people undergoing rehabilitation involving physical activity following hip-fracture surgery. Methods We conducted in-depth interviews with 5 men and 16 women (age range 67 - 84 years). The data were analysed by means of systematic text condensation.Results The analysis revealed the following four interrelated themes (1) what participants bring to the recovery situation matters; (2) support through individually tailored rehabilitation services, involving physical activity, - is key to recovery following hip fracture surgery; (3) needing professional help on the journey from helplessness and vulnerability to being more confident and active; and (4) making progress and regaining function represent the essence of recovery.Conclusions All four identified themes relate to how physical activity, as an aspect of rehabilitation services, contributes to the recovery process for patients who have experienced a hip fracture. Differences were reported with regard to the services used, and all the participants were at the mercy of what their municipalities chose to offer in terms of rehabilitation services.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMunicipal healthcare services should address patients' individual needs when planning, organising and implementing rehabilitation programmes involving physical activity.Healthcare professionals need to recognise older patients' experiences of reduced physical, psychological and social functioning following hip-fracture surgery and then take those experiences into account when tailoring rehabilitation programmes.Healthcare professionals providing physical rehabilitation programmes to people who have undergone hip-fracture surgery should take into account their patients' situation and lifestyle prior to experiencing a hip fracture.Municipal healthcare services should consider using recovery as a conceptual framework in relation to rehabilitation services involving physical activity.This study aims to evaluate the drug distribution, tissue concentrations, penetration depth, pharmacokinetic properties, and toxicities after rotational intraperitoneal pressurized aerosol chemotherapy (RIPAC) in pigs. Because relevant medical devices have not been introduced, we developed our prototype of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) and RIPAC by adding a conical pendulum motion device for rotating the nozzle. RIPAC and PIPAC were conducted using 150 ml of 1% methylene blue to evaluate the drug distribution and 3.5 mg of doxorubicin in 50 ml of 0.9% NaCl to evaluate the tissue concentrations and penetration depth, pharmacokinetic properties, and toxicities. All agents were sprayed as aerosols via the nozzle, DreamPen® (Dalim Biotech, Gangwon, South Korea), with a velocity of 5 km/h at a flow rate of 30 ml/min under a pressure of 7 bars, and capnoperitoneum of 12 mmHg was maintained for 30 min. As a result, RIPAC showed a wider distribution and stronger intensity than PIPAC. Compared with PIPAC, RIPAC demonstrated high values of the tissue concentration in the central, right upper, epigastrium, left upper, left lower, right lower, and right flank regions (median, 375.
