Background: Drug-related problems (DRPs) can be defined as any event that is drug related that results in harm or in providing less than optimum medical care to patients. The aim of this study is to determine the types and frequency of each type of DRP in selected outpatient settings in Jordan, with emphasis on gender as a grouping variable.
Methods: This study was a non-randomized controlled trial, carried out over 3 days, at Alsarih Medical Health Center in the north of Jordan.
Purpose: This study investigated the effect of leptin (LEP) 2548A/G and leptin receptor (LEPR) Q223R polymorphisms on the levels of HDL, LDL, TG, and total cholesterol (t-chol). In addition, the interactions between examined polymorphisms, statin therapy and environmental factors on lipid profile were examined.
Methods: Adult diabetic patients (n-418) were recruited from diabetes/endocrine clinics in north of Jordan.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of atorvastatin treatment on levels of leptin, adiponectin and insulin resistance, and their correlation with clinical parameters, in patients with type II diabetes. Patients with diabetes (n=394) were divided into two groups, comprising 161 patients who received 20 mg/day atorvastatin (statin group), and 233 patients who did not receive statins (statin-free group). The results showed that atorvastatin treatment of patients with diabetes was not associated with changes in leptin, adiponectin, the leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio or homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).
