Confidence in Prescribing Practices: Perspectives of Senior Medical Students and Recent Graduates at Qatar University.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the perceptions of senior medical students and recent graduates from College of Medicine (CMED) at Qatar University regarding their undergraduate education and training related to prescribing, their confidence in achieving the learning outcomes specified in the curriculum and their preparedness to prescribe in practice.

Patients And Methods: This was a cross-sectional web-based survey with qualitative elements, utilizing a 22-item pre-validated questionnaire developed through a multi-phase iterative process. The survey was administered to all senior medical students (year 4-6) and recent graduates of CMED at Qatar University.

Trends in Mortality Due to Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the United States: A CDC WONDER Database Analysis (1999-2020).

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global health issue profoundly impacting quality of life. The United States accounts for nearly a quarter of the world's IBD patients, with the highest prevalence rates. This study aims to identify the demographic and regional trends of IBD-related mortality in the U.

Phytochemical characterization and anti-arthritic potential of green-synthesized CuO nanoparticles derived from the root extract.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that mainly causes joint damage. The patient experiences loss of appetite, pain, fever, and fatigue. The present study was designed to phytochemically characterize and evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of green-synthesized copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) using the hydroalcoholic extract of roots in an adjuvant-induced arthritic rat model.

Biopesticidal Efficacy of Green Synthesized Selenium-Doped Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles against Macrophomina phaseolina The causal agent of Maize Charcoal Rot.

This study explores the potential antagonistic effects of selenium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Se-ZnO NPs), synthesized through a sustainable approach, on maize charcoal rot induced by the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina. Se-ZnO-NPs were prepared using the rhizobium extract of Curcuma longa and characterized for their physicochemical properties. Characterization included various in vitro parameters such as FTIR, ICP-MS, particle size, PDI, and zeta potential.

Single (375 mg/m) vs. double dose of rituximab along with mycophenolate mofetil for children with steroid-dependent/frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome: a multicentre open-label randomized controlled trial.

Background: Optimal dosing of rituximab when given with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (FRNS/SDNS) remains uncertain.

Methods: This was a prospective, non-inferiority, open-label randomized controlled multicentre study. Children (2-18 years old) with difficult FRNS/SDNS were randomized to group A (rituximab 375 mg/m once) or group B (rituximab 375 mg/m twice; 7-14 days apart) followed by continuous MMF and 3 months of tapered steroids.
