Read More The term work–life balance is a blend of two words, work and life. In the context of the extant research, the focus is on the health care workers, who are the front-line warriors during the Covid-19 pandemic. They include amongst others doctors, nurses and health care administrators. The contributions of these front-line workers during this pandemic are invaluable. However, they have to face the brunt of the pandemic which affected work life balance enormously. In this background, the present paper is an initiative to understand the various dynamics related to the work life balance of health care workers, particularly during the pandemic, and for this purpose four leading hospitals in the study area were selected for collection of data. The entire data were analyzed under four parameters, work pressure related issues, infrastructure and family issues, organizational policy, and work related cash and non-cash benefits. Overall, twenty two hypotheses were developed and out of these seven null hypotheses and fifteen alternative hypotheses were accepted. As regards to the work pressure related issues three null and three alternative hypotheses were developed, whereas basing on infrastructure and family issues one null and three alternate hypotheses were accepted. On the basis of organization policies, seven hypotheses were developed and all of them were accepted as all alternative hypotheses and similarly, out of five hypotheses related to cash and non-cash benefits, three null and two alternative hypotheses were accepted. Concerns and difficulties in the workplace and personal problems in life affect each other. The equilibrium of work-life is conceived as a dual system that gives fair weightage to the demands of both the employees and employers. There cannot be an equal balance between work and life, rather, it is a matter of prioritizing and managing the burden of each field in order to align time, energy, and resources so that work and life are satisfied. The present paper is an endeavor to decode the various issues related to work life balance of health care workers in the new normal. The paper is hoped to be an additional contribution to the existing literature.

Read More Emulsions could be defined as heterogeneous system thermo-dynamically unstable of a two-phase system consisting of at least two immiscible liquids. A third component, the emulsifying agent, is necessary to stabilize the emulsion. Etodolac is used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. The local administration of the drug topically will avoid the systemic side effects besides some advantages making it a superior dosage form. The present study aims to formulate and evaluate nanoemulsion composed of different oils and surfactant system systems and find the best microemulsion formula in terms of particle size and stability. The present study includes making different emulsion formulas and implementing etodolac into them. The formulas were made by wet gum using DW, oils (almond and eucalyptus), and surfactants (tweens, span, and triton X). Experiments were then done on the formulas to choose successful ones to put etodolac into. One of the successful formulas had etodolac implemented into them and further experiment were done after. Finally, etodolac was tested in-vivo in the form of cream to see its efficacy by a pharmacologist.Results revealed that all prepared formulas succeeded in giving emulsion but with variable degree of properties and stability. Their pH are acidic with no sensitization to skin. Selected formula Fe2 contains eucalyptus oil and a mixture of tween40 and triton x is the best formula in terms of stability, reliability, and globular size. Upon addition of etodolac drug formula still stable and globular size is small and uniform under laser diffraction analyzer. Eucalyptus and almond oils can give stable emulsion. Oil in water emulsion type is predominant in all prepared formulas. A stable and promising formula was obtained with no sensitization was seen, and this formula is ready to be applied to human skin after some more tests to be marketed as microemulsion formula for the analgesic drug etodolac.

Read More Background: One of the most common hereditary hematological disorders is beta thalassemia major manifested by severe hemolysis and profound anemia for which the regular blood transfusions are required that leading to the iron accumulation in blood and body organs as well as increased serum ferritin. Thalassemic patient’s lipid profile levels are significantly variable in many studies.Aims: The study aimed to detect any alteration of serum lipid profiles in thalassemic major patients and to find out if they are correlated with serum ferritin and Hb concentration.Method sand patients: Sixty-two Beta thalassemia major patients were enrolled in the study, aged (6months-15 years) randomly selected (65) matched control children. Obtaining serum samples for lipid profile, and ferritin estimation, as well as blood test of hemoglobin concentration was done. Statistical data analysis was performed using standard methods.Results: The most presented age was (>5-10 years.) followed by (6mo-5years) then (>11-15 years.) (27, 21, 14) patients, respectively. Female were slightly predominant than male (54.8%), (45.2%), respectively mainly in group 2 (55.9%), while male slightly predominates in the younger and older groups (26.5%), (17.7%), respectively. Serum ferritin levels were very high in (98.4%) of cases, mainly in group 2 (43%), then in group 1 (34%), followed by group 3 (23%). The majority of patients had normal cholesterol level (95.16%). Lipoprotein were Low in (35.5%) of patients mainly in group 2 (54.5%) and normal in (64.5%) mainly equally distributed in groups, although not statistically significant, (p.value=0.7). Low Density Lipoprotein was normal in most patients (95.16%), and not significant statistically (P value=0.8). Triglyceride was high in most patients (83.9%), while normal in (16.1%), it was with no statistically significant (p. value=0.4).Conclusion: The present study concluded a positive correlation between (high Triglyceride, low, and high density Lipoprotein) and (low Hb and high ferritin levels) which may attribute to the future fatal cardiac complication.
