Background/Objectives: Globally, 64 and 103 million people are chronically infected. Major risk factors for this blood-borne virus infection are unsafe injection drug use and unsterile medical procedures (iatrogenic infections) in countries with high HCV prevalence. In regions with high HCV prevalence, improper injectable drug use and unsterile medical procedures (iatrogenic infections) are major risk factors for this blood-borne viral infection. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis C in District Swat. Methods: The zone investigated in my examination work is the Swat region. The data was collected for research through surveys and questionnaires. The statistical technique of data collection was done by simple random sampling. A total of 300 subjects from each tehsil were selected randomly. The sample was collected for a serum test of HCV. All statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism 6.0 (GraphPad Prism Software, San Diego, CA) and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The maximum prevalence was in the age groups of 41-50, 51-60, and 61-70 in both urban and rural areas. The major risk factors associated with HCV were Poor proficiency, low financial status, poor sterile condition, incorporate intravenous medication misuse, hemodialysis, transfusion of blood items, inking, over-sexual conduct, introduction to social insurance and organ transplants from HCV-positive contributors, and utilization of blood tainted straws for cocaine grunting. Conclusion: The incidence of HCV in district swat's rural and urban areas has risen significantly over so many years. The survey shows more HCV incidence than previous studies done in Pakistan. In our study, HCV is more prevalent in an urban area (Babozai) of the district swat.
We analyzed the electronic data (e-data) of n=5231 vaccinated candidates including n=3671 males and n=1560 females. We studied the COVID-19 vaccine brands such as Sino pharm, CanSino, SinoVac, Moderna and Pfizer. We noted adverse effects in post-vaccinated candidates were Instability in blood pressure 29.5%, Swelling 3.5%, Redness 14.2%, Itching 7.13%, and Rashes 2.4%. Comorbidities in the vaccinated candidates such as Hypertension 33%, Diabetes mellitus 17%, Kidney disease 42%, and Chronic respiratory disease 9%. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy 1153, 22% and Non-Hesitant 4078, 77%. We analyzed the e-data of COVID-19 vaccinated candidates, the acknowledgement of COVID-19 immunization in pregnant women. Worrying about vaccine safety was the significant justification for hesitancy. Recognizing mentalities among study groups will be valuable for coming up with vaccine strategies that increment the ongoing pandemic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
