Prevalence Of Tobacco Use Among Women: A Cross Sectional Survey From A Squatter Settlement Of Karachi, Pakistan, Nousheen Iqbal, Muhammad Irfan, Nida Ashraf, Safia Awan, Javaid A. Khan
Section of Pulmonary & Critical Care
Background: While the prevalence of tobacco use has been slowly declining in the developed countries, rates have been steadily rising in the developing countries. This has led to a rapid rise in tobacco related lung diseases among women.
Objective: Determine the prevalence of tobacco use (both smoking and smokeless) among women in an urban squatter settlement (Orangi Town) in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 19,325 females aged between 15 and 80 years in Orangi Town, an urban squatter settlement in Karachi, Pakistan. Modified questionnaire, developed by World Health Organization WHO and Global Adult …

An Evaluation To The Adherence Of A Sepsis Protocol At A Central Kentucky Community Hospital, Somer K. Robinson
DNP Projects
Background: Sepsis is defined as a “systemic response to an active infectious process in the host” and “represents the systemic inflammatory response to the presence of infection” (American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference, 1992, p.865). In 2008, an estimated 727,000 patients were hospitalized with a diagnosis of sepsis, an increase from 326,000 in 2000, or a 55% increase in prevalence over the eight-year period (Hall, Williams, DeFrances, & Golosinskiy, 2011). Early identification of sepsis with early and effective management strategies has been shown to improve patient outcomes and decrease mortality and prevent organ dysfunction (Levy …
Vitamin C: A Potential Regulator Of Inflammatory Response, Bassem M. Mohammed
Vitamin C: A Potential Regulator Of Inflammatory Response, Bassem M. Mohammed
Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: Neutrophils (PMNs) and Macrophages are the first responders recruited consecutively to the site of injury/inflammation. PMNs’ response/fate as well as macrophage reprogramming ultimately determine the course of resolution of inflammation. Physiologic wound healing has a significant inflammatory component. An exaggerated inflammation however is self-defeating leading to delayed healing. Parenteral vitamin C (VitC) attenuated inflammation in murine sepsis models and in patients with sepsis. However information about the mechanisms by which VitC regulates these events is limited.
Methods: Humanized mice lacking VitC synthesis capability (Gulo-/-) were used. VitC sufficient and deficient mice were challenged with sterile inflammation, or …
