https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/163
<p>Diabetes mellitus is a global public health crisis, with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimating 537 million adults affected in 2021, projected to reach 783 million by 2045 (<em>IDF, 2021</em>). This editorial synthesizes recent evidence (2021–2025) on diabetes types, their impacts on health and organs, prevention strategies, treatments, potential cures, and the role of physical fitness, urging public health administrators to address systemic inequities and scale innovative solutions. Diabetes’s escalating burden demands urgent action. Public health administrators must scale prevention through community partnerships and technology, ensure equitable access to advanced therapies, and fund cure research. Physical fitness, integral to prevention and management, requires integration into routine care. Critically, addressing SDOH and cost-driven disparities is paramount to reducing diabetes’s global toll. The time for transformative policy is now.</p>Dr. Bahadar Shah

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/130
<p>This research investigates an alternative management strategy involving different nipping dates in chickpea cultivation to reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides for food legumes. The current study conducted during the 2022-23 that utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD). A total of six treatments, consisting of both nipping and non-nipping methods, were implemented starting December 1, 2022, with subsequent treatments applied at 15-day intervals (December 1, December 15, December 30, January 15, and January 30, 2023). A control group was maintained without nipping, allowing for natural growth, to assess the impact of pod borer infestation. The findings indicate that nipping at earlier dates significantly diminished pest infestations and improved grain yields compared to both later nipping and the control group. However, the study's findings may have limitations due to their dependence on specific environmental conditions and the focus on a single growing season, which could affect broader applicability. This research underscores the advantages of early nipping in enhancing yields and minimizing pesticide usage, contributing to sustainable pest management practices in arid regions. The results advocate for the implementation of early nipping within integrated pest management strategies in similar agro-climatic environments.</p>Asma Batool Naveed UllahMuhammad Faisal ShehzadAbdulaziz KhankwaniSyed Safeer AbbasSadaf Javaria

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/149
<p>Because of the paucity of financial, infrastructural, and human resources in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), it is crucial to explore the current knowledge gap and pharmacovigilance practice to adequately deploy resources. To determine the knowledge and practices of ADR among HCPs, we distributed pre-defined questionnaire forms among 1500 HCPs representing 11 LMICs between April 2017 and March 2020. The data was analyzed through Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22, and frequency and percentages were presented for categorical variables, whereas the comparison of Pakistan and other LMICs was evaluated by performing a χ2 test. P-value 0.05 was taken as the level of significance between responses. Among 1246 (83%) responses, the majority, 846 (68%), had >3 years of work experience and were males, 805 (64%). Total 788 (63%) responders correctly identified the International Conference for Harmonization-ADR definition, 578 (47%) indicated that all type of reactions should be reported, 167 (14%) believed that anyone can report ADR and only 17 (1.4%) correctly indicated that Drug-Drug Interactions, Medication-errors & Drug-Food Interactions can likely cause ADRs. A total of 562 (45%) participants reported at least one ADR during their practice, and 269 (48%) preferred reporting in their institution. The study findings suggested that HCPs from LMICs have relatively better knowledge about ADR than its reporting. The ADR reporting culture can further be improved through training, awareness programs, and by identifying potential barriers to underreporting.</p>Mahwish RazaJaffer B. BaqarAtif H.

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/165
<p>The increased prevalence of anxiety and depression across the world makes it imperative to ensure that there are readily available and effective treatments in this sphere. Community-based pharmacists are particularly noted for their potential for early-intervention activities in mental health. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of mental health interventions delivered by pharmacists on patient experiences and care concerning anxiety and depression in community pharmacy. A multi-site, quantitative-intervention study was carried out on twelve different pharmacies using 100 adult participants employing self-administered PHQ-9 and GAD-7 instruments. There was also a marked improvement in the depression and anxiety scores, with the two groups recording a PHQ-9 value of 13.2 compared to 8.1 and a GAD-7 value of 12.5 compared to 7.3. These results suggest that there is a benefit to providing mental health services in pharmacies, enhancing primary care where there are deficiencies, and providing easily accessible, non-hospital-based care that might be more effective for those with mental health issues.</p>Syed Mahnoor ShahOsama AkhtarUsman Ul HaqDr. Saleem Asghar Najaf Abbas GhafoorSyeda Zainab Abbas

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/166
<p>CAD is still a pressing global health issue and a leading cause of mortality and morbidity; its incidence is increasingly observed in developing countries, including Pakistan. The paper aims to explore the CAD prevention plan within ATH, analyzing its successes and failures, barriers, and positives, and future planning to reduce this disease. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to collect data from CAD patients, high-risk individuals, and healthcare providers regarding awareness, preventive practices, medication compliance, and perceived barriers to CAD prevention. The findings show that there is low awareness of CAD, particularly among high-risk groups, failure to follow necessary lifestyle changes, and issues around medication use. Lack of financial resources, low levels of health literacy, and the overall shortage of primary healthcare facilities were identified as the primary challenges affecting prevention. Lack of patient compliance, shortage of resources, and a heavy workload were attributed by most healthcare providers as some of their major challenges in CAD management. However, increased interest was prevalent in community-based prevention programs, telemedicine, and low-cost healthcare services, which point to potential obstacles. Thus, the development of an effective system to fight CAD requires a multi-faceted approach based on the organization of special targeted public health programs, increasing accessibility in healthcare, and utilizing information technologies. Improving primary health care, employing preventive cardiology, and reforming policies will reduce CAD rates in Pakistan in significant ways. The findings of this research are valuable to guide future activities to improve CAD prevention at ATH and to establish national-level policies for cardiovascular disease prevention.</p>Dr. Arshad AliDr. Shahzad HussainDr. Matiullah KhanDr. Sajad Ali

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/170
<p>Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) has emerged as a critical intervention for improving glycemic control and enhancing the quality of life for patients with type2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to evaluates the effectiveness of DSME programs in influencing patient outcomes and behavioral change across both urban and rural populations in Pakistan. With rising diabetes prevalence and limited health literacy, particularly in rural areas, understanding the contextual effectiveness of DSME is vital for public health planning. A comparative, quasi-experimental research design was adopted, with data collected from two major tertiary care hospitals in Karachi and Peshawar (urban) and two district-level public hospitals in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (rural). A total of 300 adult patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes were enrolled. Participants received DSME interventions over a 12-week period, including dietary counseling, insulin adherence, physical activity planning, and blood glucose self-monitoring. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using HbA1c levels, a standardized Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ), and behavioral self-care surveys. Findings revealed statistically significant improvements in HbA1c levels and diabetes knowledge scores in both groups (p < 0.05), with urban participants showing a slightly higher behavioral compliance rate. However, rural participants displayed notable gains in self-care awareness, highlighting the potential for impactful change when access is improved. The study concludes that DSME is a highly effective tool for improving diabetes management in diverse populations. Expanding these programs through primary care units and community health workers could greatly enhance chronic disease control in Pakistan.</p>Muhammad Waqar AliKashan Ali Anika ArifUmbreen Farrukh Nimra Batool Mahnoor AurangzaibDua Khan Minza Amir

<p>This study aimed to evaluate the serological characteristics of patients infected with dengue in 2024 at District Tank, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. In 2024, a total of 100 individuals visited the hospital. Blood specimens from patients in the pathology laboratory. The data on dengue infection was obtained from the District Health Office in Tank. In the designated dengue patient ward, a patient with dengue fever who was showing little symptoms was admitted. For a period of five months, beginning in August and ending in December, the data was collected from hospitals. It was necessary to utilize a distinct form to consider the gender and history of the users. Furthermore, the Immunochromatographic Technique (ICT) was used in the laboratory screening of a patient suspected of having dengue fever. The collected blood samples underwent screening for Dengue infection utilizing the BIOLINE Dengue NS 1 Ag+Ab Combo Test. A total of 100 blood samples underwent screening. Out of the total samples, 28 tested positives for dengue fever, representing a percentage of 28%, while 72 samples, accounting for 72%, were found to be negative. Regarding patient age groups, 22 patients were found positive for Dengue infection, aged between 15 and 35 years, representing 78.57%, which constitutes most Dengue-infected patients. A significant epidemic of Dengue severity among patients was seen in September and October, attributed to the wet and post-rainy season. It is determined that biological, environmental, pharmacological, and educational strategies should be employed to combat illness. In addition, there is a requirement for the formation of teams to investigate the true origin of dengue disease and its potential effects on the residents of the region.</p>Muhammad ZeeshanMehtab Alam Umaira Sadiq KhanRubab KhalilAbdus Sami

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/173
<p>Enteric fever, like typhoid, had the highest morbidity in Asia, accounting for nearly 93% of global cases. Poor hygiene, poor sanitation and sewerage systems, over population are the key contributing factors. The precise epidemiological data regarding typhoid fever in Islamabad is currently unavailable; thus, this study was conceived considering this gap in knowledge. One thousand clinical isolates, irrespective of age and gender, were obtained from typhoid fever suspects who visited Mufti Mahmood Memorial Teaching (MMMT) Hospital between July 2024 and December 2024. Immunochromatographic tests (ICT) were conducted to identify acute (IgM) and chronic (IgG) stage antibodies in the serum of suspected patients. The results indicated that 314 (81%) patients tested positive for IgM antibodies, 70 (18%) for both IgM and IgG, and notably, no samples were positive for IgG alone. Seropositivity for IgM by gender was 129 (37%) males and 219 (63%) females. Among individuals with both IgG and IgM positive antibodies, 31 (42%) were male and 43 (48%) were female. The significant prevalence of typhoid fever among febrile patients attending the hospital signifies that it is a critical public health issue within the spectrum of febrile illnesses in Dera Ismail Khan. Preventive measures, including immunization programs, enhanced sanitary standards, clean water supply, and adequate sewage systems, should be prioritized for typhoid management in metropolitan areas such as Dera Ismail Khan.</p>Dr. Bakhtawar SoomroAbdul SamiAsim Patrick

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/174
<p>Chemical fertilizers are overused, so people across the world are now looking for environmentally friendly ways to cultivate crops. The impact of biofertilizer use on soil, crop production and microbiological activity is studied in wheat and maize. The work was completed in different parts of Pakistan, where four combination approaches were assessed: a control, NPK fertilizer, biofertilizer-only and an approach of 50% NPK joined with biofertilizer. Biofertilizer and combined treatments increased soil organic carbon, nutrients, bacterial and fungal population and activity levels of enzymes more than the control and NPK-only plots. Moreover, important benefits could be seen in plant development, as the root length, shoot height, chlorophyll levels, and total grain yield all improved. The inclusion of treatment in the experiment slightly improved maize and wheat yields by up to 100% and 82.1%, respectively. The use of biofertilizers led to a significant rise in the population of helpful genera such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Rhizobium, which improved nutrient use and the plant’s tolerance to stress. Evidence of many microorganisms being linked to high crop numbers supports the idea of the importance of biology in soil for sustainable farming. According to these results, using efficient biofertilizers can help boost crop output, protect the soil, and support the overall balance of the environment, providing an eco-friendly alternative in farming.</p>Umair SarfrazHasnain Haider RizviMuhammad Zulqarnain AliUnsa AyazMuhammad AkhtarNabila Jabbar

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/171
<p>In Pakistan, particularly in South Waziristan, cutaneous leishmaniasis is a severe public health concern that is an emergent tropical disease. This investigation aimed to evaluate the prevalence of CL in this area. The research was carried out between October 2024 and December 2024 at the District Headquarters Hospital (DQH) located in South Waziristan, Wana. Microscopic slides stained with Giemsa were prepared from needle aspirates, and data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Microscopic testing revealed that 440 (55%) of the 800 clinically suspected patients were positive. Among the 440 patients, 242 (55%) were males and 198 (45%) were females. The abrasions began on the face and spread to the upper and lower extremities. The age category of 5–10 years was the most significant, comprising 202 individuals, or 45% of the total population. One lesion impacted 81.32% of the patients, whereas 13.2% exhibited two lesions and 5.6% had three lesions. A significant frequency of CL was seen from April to August, whereas the lowest incidence was recorded from November to December. The research finds that participants have limited understanding of etiology, risk factors, and treatment options related to CL. There is an immediate and pressing need for an increase in awareness and education throughout the population to minimize the burden of the disease and its impact on the economy. An increase in education and awareness is also necessary.</p>Dr. Bakhtawar SoomroDr. Shakeel Ahmad MemonAbdul SamiAsim Patrick

https://journal.mdpip.com/index.php/oapr/article/view/176
<p>Salmonella species are among the most common foodborne pathogens associated with milk and dairy products. This study investigated the microbiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance patterns of <em>Salmonella</em> spp. in milk, ice cream, and cheese samples collected from August to December 2024 in Layyah District, Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 150 randomly selected samples (50 each of milk, ice cream, and cheese) were analyzed. Isolation and identification were performed using standard biochemical tests and further confirmed using the API 10S identification kit. <em>Salmonella</em> contamination was detected in 20% of milk samples, 10% of ice cream samples, and 6% of cheese samples. Among the isolates, <em>Salmonella Typhi</em> was the predominant serotype, found in milk (6 samples), ice cream (3), and cheese (2), followed by <em>S. Paratyphi A</em> in milk (4), ice cream (2), and cheese (1). Biochemical profiling revealed typical characteristics of <em>Salmonella</em>, including glucose fermentation with acid and gas production, hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) production, and citrate utilization. Antibiotic susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method indicated significant resistance, with notably low zones of inhibition for oxacillin (0 mm), polymyxin B (0.9 mm), trimethoprim (0.8 mm), and amoxicillin (0.5 mm), while imipenem (10.7 mm), ciprofloxacin (10.8 mm), and clindamycin (10.3 mm) showed moderate effects. The findings highlight the public health risk posed by contaminated dairy products and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) <em>Salmonella</em> strains. Strengthening food hygiene practices, ensuring responsible antibiotic use in dairy production, and implementing robust surveillance measures are essential to safeguard public health and ensure compliance with food safety standards.</p>Samia IjazRifat BibiNaziaKhalid KhanShahkar UzairZaheer AhmadSana UllahSaqib Ali RustamAhmad SaeedAta Ur Rehman
