Knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss among the general population in Jordan; A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Obesity has emerged as a global pandemic, with its prevalence notably increasing during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2019. In response, many individuals have turned to pharmacological interventions, including antidiabetic medications, as means of achieving weight loss with minimal effort. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the Jordanian population regarding the use of antidiabetic agents, specifically glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and biguanides, for weight management.

Impact of Jordanian Pharmacists' Knowledge of the Human Microbiome: Has the Practice of Antibiotics and Probiotics Dispensing Been Affected? A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: This study aimed to assess Jordanian pharmacists' knowledge of the human microbiome and the impact of their knowledge on their attitudes and practices toward antibiotics and probiotics.

Methods: A self-administered survey was designed after reviewing the literature. Participants' demographics were collected, and questions to evaluate pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward antibiotic and probiotic dispensing were asked.

The impact of artificial intelligence on the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacists across diverse settings: A cross-sectional study.

The pharmacy practice landscape is undergoing a significant transformation with the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI). As essential members of the healthcare team, pharmacists' readiness and willingness to adopt AI technologies is critical. This cross-sectional study explores pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding AI in various practice settings.

Reduced oxygen extraction fraction in deep cerebral veins associated with cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis.

Studying the relationship between cerebral oxygen utilization and cognitive impairment is essential to understanding neuronal functional changes in the disease progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study explores the potential of using venous susceptibility in internal cerebral veins (ICVs) as an imaging biomarker for cognitive impairment in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients. Quantitative susceptibility mapping derived from fully flow-compensated MRI phase data was employed to directly measure venous blood oxygen saturation levels (SO) in the ICVs.

Multi-locus sequence typing of Escherichia coli isolated from clinical samples in Jordan.

Introduction: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the major cause of extraintestinal infections in the urinary tracts and bloodstream in humans in the community and health care institutions. Several studies on the genetic characterization of E.
