Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive loss in kidney function over a period of months or years. CKD cause 2.4 million deaths per year and that affects 1 in 10 people worldwide. Aim of the study was to identify the retrospective correlation with risk factors and etiological factors of CKD among Hemodialysis(HD)Patients. Quantitative research approach with retrospectivecorrelational research design was the methodology used in this study. This study was done at Artificial Kidney Unit (AKU) of Arar Central Hospital, Arar,Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Simple Random Sampling Technique was used to collect the data from 100 HD patients. Results of the study shows that, 31 percentage of the subjects were between the age group of 61-70 years and more than half (61 %) of the samples were females. Regarding risk factors, about 17 percentage of the subjects were.......

Abstract: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent infections and of a great health burden both in Nigeria and in the world at large. This study was carried out to determine the common uropathogens, establishing antibiotics susceptibility profile of the urinary pathogensand identify the hospital department with highest UTIs in tertiary hospital in Ile-Ife, Osun State. Urine samples were collected from all the participants who had urinary problems from ranging from ages 1-120years. Mid Stream Urine samples were collected for urinalysis and later cultured. Disc diffusion method of sensitivity testing was used and the susceptibility pattern was interpreted. Three hundred urine samples were tested which were collected from different departments. One hundred and sixty (160) 53.3% were......

The treatment group was given of honey used in oral care intervention and the control group was givedplasebo (chlorhexidine 0,2 %). Patients who had inclusion and exclusion criteria were given of honey used in oral care intervention previously then they measured for mucositis score and after 1 week of administration. The independent t-test results.......
