Background:Obesity is officially recognized as a chronic disease and a top public health priority by several global societies and healthcare bodies.This research aimed to examine the awareness of patients who are suffering from obesity and adopt the required healthcare measurements to minimize the level of obesity. Methods:A cross-sectional study was used in this research work that helped in raising the awareness of patients regarding obesity and adhering to healthy activities. The philosophy of positivism would be appropriate because this research work involved a detailed analysis of gathered data which is quantitative in nature. The approach of research that would be best for this research work is an inductive approach which is based on developing a new theory and that is what is required for executing this research work. The design for executing the research work is descriptive because a cross-sectional study was executed and therefore the assessment of the gathered data involved a detailed and descriptive assessment of the retrieved data. Results:Of 610 participants included in the current study, 486 of study participants agreed that they feel that obesity is increasing in recent times (79.7%). Vast majority of study participants believed that eating habits have a role in the development of obesity (n= 594, 97.4%). The same percentage almost believed that avoiding oily and junk food would reduce obesity (n= 581, 95.2%). In addition, more than half of study participants experiencedsome issues with excessive weight and suffering from obesity (n= 353, 57.9%).The most frequent issue experienced by obese individuals was diabetes (n= 300, 49.2%). They responded that low carbohydrates diet is the best choice (n= 406, 66.6%) followed by green vegetables (n= 169, 27.7%) then fruits came in the last place (n= 35, 5.7%). Conclusion:Most of study participants agreed that they feel that obesity is increasing in recent times. Vast majority of study participants believed that eating habits have a role in the development of obesity. Study revealed that the most frequent issue experienced by obese individuals was diabetes.

Background:Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a common disease of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by mucosal damage due to the secretion of pepsin and gastric acid. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence and causes of recurrent peptic ulcer. Methods:The current study adopted an exploratory study design in order to determine the prevalence and causes for recurrent peptic ulcer disease in individuals and predict an outcome. The participants for the current study were individuals belonging to the age group 18-75. This age group is chosen as the major influence of peptic ulcer disease is observed within this group.For the current study, questionnaire was adopted for data collection, which was also categorized as a study tool. Results:Study included 589 participants. It is noticed that most of participants (n= 530, 90.1%) strongly agree that they visit the doctor periodically to check on their health. Previous item has the highest rank followed by participants follow smoking lifestyle (n= 526, 89.4%). On the other hand, the least rank item on which participants strongly disagreed was participants suffered from soreness or bleeding from their stomach (n= 249, 42.4%). This gives a prevalence of 42.4% of peptic ulcer disease among study participants. Conclusion:Peptic ulcer illness burdens health care systems, which urge for adequate treatment to limit recurrence and effects. H. pylori, smoking, and aspirin usage are risk factors for 5-year peptic ulcer recurrence. Long-term PUD hazards include smoking and aspirin. Avoiding risk factors reduced the recurrence rate of H. pylori eradication, acid suppression medication, and surgery. This shows how eliminating risk factors may enhance long-term performance. Proper PUD treatment requires multicenter research to prevent recurrence and repercussions.

Background:Evidence-based treatment and service design should reflect the perspectives of parents with eating disorders among their children on useful parts of care, but there is a lack of data to do so.This research aimed in assessing the effects of eating disorders that are prevailing among children in a detailed perspective. Methods:This research work involved following a cross-sectional approach of study and therefore included collecting first-hand data. This was accomplished through the conduction of the survey and data that are considered through the conduction of the survey are quantitative in nature. This would help in enhanced perception of the eating disorders that are prevailing in children. The method that would be employed for considering the size of the sample is stratified random sampling. The survey involved conducting a survey of children who falls within the age range of 10-17years of age. Results: The study included 572 children. Most of parents are concerned about the change in the eating disorder among their children (n= 420, 73.4%). Most of parents believe that eating habits can affect the rising in eating disorders (n= 486, 85%). Furthermore, parents think that reducing oily and junk food may help in minimizing eating disorders among their children (n= 456, 79.7%). Their most frequent answer was loss of appetite (n= 241, 42.1%). Figure 1 shows the distribution of parents answers. In addition, parents responded that it is minimal painful to lead a life with an excessively heavyweight (n= 228, 39.9%). They answered low-carbohydrate content food with no sugar (n= 253, 44.2%) while green vegetables came in the second place (n= 209, 36.5%) followed by fruits (n= 110, 19.2%). Conclusion:The studys findings revealed that the most common symptom reported by youngsters with eating disorders was a decrease in appetite. Parents said it hurt just somewhat to have to care for an overweight child all the time. The ideal option, according to parents, is meals with minimal carbohydrate content and no added sugar. According to parent reports, a healthy diet is the most effective weapon against childhood eating problems.
