ABSTRACT
Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the levels of burden among nurses working in intensive care units and role of resilience among the staff nurses working in various areas of Intensive Care Units (ICUs), at the National Guard hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Objectives: 1. To determine the demographic variables among nurses working in the ICUs with burden variables.2. To assess the relationship between the resilience and burden level of ICUs nurses. 3. To compare the resilience scores among nurses across different areas. Methodology: A descriptive, and comparative design was used achieve the aim of the study. A convenience sample was used to collect data. The subjects of the study were nurses from all critical care areas of both King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) and King Abdullah Specialized Children Hospital (KASCH) in Riyadh. Results: The results indicated that there were significant relationship between resilience and burden variables which is consistent with previous studies.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of adaptive instructional delivery approach on students’ performance in general woodwork adopting non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental research design. Four research questions and four hypotheses guided the study. A total of 79 vocational II woodwork students’ in 2016/2017 academic session drawn from four co-educational technical colleges in Edo State made up the sample for the study. The instrument for data collection was a 30-item General Woodwork Achievement Test (GWAT), administered as pre-test, post-test and delayed post-test respectively. Three experts validated the instruments. Its reliability of .89 was determined using Kuder Richardson 21 formulae. Mean was used to answer the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses at. 05 level of significance. The results indicated among others that adaptive instructional approach had a significant effect on students’ performance and retention in General Woodwork trade. The study recommended that General Woodwork teachers should employ the use of adaptive teaching approach in teaching General Woodwork to enhance students’ performance and retention. The major educational implication of the findings was that students will do better in General Woodwork if taught with adaptive teaching strategy.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Arteriovenous Malformationis a rare primary lesion of the spine. The lesion could be located extra or intra dural. The conus medullaris malformation is a special lesions which leads to progressive myelopathy or radiculopathy. The lesion is characterized by multiple feeding arteries, multiple niduses, and complex venous drainage. The neurological deficits may be improved dramatically over time when these lesions are successfully treated, however, the numerous feeding arteries and multiple niduses create a potential for recurrence.We report a case of a 36-year-old man complaining of serious lower limbs muscle weakness. The MRI scan showed multiple arteriovenous systems go around the conus medullaris. The spinal cord is enlarged with spinal cord edema. Embolization was proformed to stop the blood flow of main feeding artery. Post-operation the lower limb muscle weekness has been significantly improved. The patient can walk without additional support. Until the 3 months follow-up, the clinical result was satisfied.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Background: Bronchial asthma is known to be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in India. There is paucity of Indian data which evaluate the pattern of drug utilization in bronchial asthma over its entire spectrum and varying severity. Material and Methods: This is a Prospective, observational, non-interventional study of children who presented between February 2020 and November 2020. Study conducted at Department of Paediatric and Pharmacology. With a sample size of 90 patients who confirmed to the following predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: The overall utilization of Anti-asthmatic drugs among paediatric asthma patients were found to be –short acting β2 Agonists (41.1%) long acting β2agonist (LABA) (10.0%), steroids (13.3%) and leukotriene modifiers (1.11%). Pattern of drug prescription in asthmatics showed the highest prevalence of β2 Agonists followed by corticosteroids and finally, the leukotriene modifiers. One additional antiasthmatic drug: anticholinergics were also used among patients. Conclusion: To conclude, this study provides few insights into the drug use patterns in a pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary care teaching hospital. The prescribing from NLEM was fair, the use of injections was low and there is a scope for improvement in case of medicines prescribed by generic name.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic disease that attacks the peripheral nerves, skin and other body tissues. A leprosy reaction is an acute episode in which leprosy occurs as a result of sudden changes in the immune system. Leprosy reactions can occur before, during, and after treatment. In type I leprosy reactions, it is very important to recognize and treat appropriately, otherwise there can be rapid and extensive nerve damage while in mild type II reactions, it can disappear immediately but severe type II reactions can persist for years. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the influence of the determinant factors of leprosy reactions based on Biological, and Psychological reactions in leprosy patients at Naob Hospital, TTU Regency. Material and Methods: This type of research is analytic survey research with cross sectional design. The population in this study was people with leprosy who experienced reactions of leprosy types I and II with a total of 65 people with leprosy. This study uses a total sampling technique, namely sampling in which the number of samples is the same as the population which is 65 people. The data analysis included univariate and bivariate with chi-square test and multivariate with logistic regression test. Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between biological reactions (Type of Leprosy, Duration of Illness and Disability), and there was a significant relationship between psychological reactions (Stress) with the incidence of leprosy reactions in the patients at Naob Hospital, TTU Regency with p-value<α (0.05). Simultaneously, the independent variable (Type of Leprosy, Duration of Illness, Disability and Stress) had an effect of 55% on the dependent variable (Leprosy Reaction) in leprosy patients at Naob Hospital, TTU Regency. The most influential independent variable is duration of illness.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Macleod syndrome is an obstructive pulmonary disease linked to the anatomical sequelae of acute viral bronchiolitis in childhood. We report an observation of a patient with a clear unilateral lung in order to discuss the diagnostic approach and to underline the difficulty of the aetiological research.
