“…The head nurses have low respect perceived climate before program implementation, which increased to 85% of them immediately after post-educational program and decreased to 70 % after three months of program implementation, with statistically significant differences. This finding is congruent with G Hamed et al (2022), who reminds us that respect is learned behavior-regardless of the culture or generational cohort. The following behaviors should be modeled when teaching and learning respect, not in any particular order.…”

Conducting ethics deals with standards of moral judgment. Every day, professional nurses are required to make ethical decisions about patient care. They must have good adequate practice and knowledge of ethics to make ethical decisions. In addition, a head nurse's respect for the respected climate can affect job adherence by improving nurses' professional values and raising their awareness toward moral and ethical issues facing care practice through acceptance and correction of errors, which leads to improved quality of care by enforcing values of the profession and prevents negative consequences of errors hiding. The aim of this study was to examine the consequences of the head nurse's adherence to respect educational programs on nurses' professional ethics and knowledge of moral dilemmas. This study method used a Quasi-experimental research design. Setting: The study was conducted at King Abdul Aziz Hospital. The Subjects were all head nurses who worked in the inpatient and outpatient units, and all staff nurses worked in the same departments. Research Instrument of four tools were used in this study; respect knowledge questionnaire, workplace respect climate Self- Assessment scale, nursing professional value Scale, and moral and ethical issue knowledge questionnaire. The results showed total knowledge score and levels of perceived workplace respect among head nurses were low before the program implementation. After the program implementation, they had higher scores with statistically significant differences; also, the staff nurse professional value scores and moral and ethical issues awareness scores increased after implementing a respect education program for head nurses. In Conclusion, the respective training program positively affected head nurses by increasing their knowledge and self-assessment about perceived workplace respect after the program implementation. Recommendations were periodical conferences and programs for head nurses must develop respect skills, behaviors, and communication to motivate the worth of their professional values towards nursing and acknowledge moral and ethical knowledge.

Background COVID-19–associated mucormycosis (CAM) affected over 50,000 people during the second wave of the pandemic in India. Epidemiological aspects of CAM were reported, but there is a lack of published literature on mortality and its determinants in CAM and other fungal infections. The present study investigated patterns and determinants of mortality in these patients. Methods The retrospective study reviewed case records of 390 patients, with at least 1 year of follow-up, for information related to demographics, epidemiology, clinical features, laboratory investigations, and treatment. The association between categorical variables was studied using the chi-square test of independence and logistic regression between 2 groups of those who survived and those who died during hospitalization or after discharge. Results A total of 157 (40%) patients did not survive; of these, 112 (29%) died during hospitalization and 45 (11%) had postdischarge mortality. The risk of mortality was associated with higher age, use of corticosteroids (odds ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.87–2.16), visual acuity <3/60 at presentation, palate involvement, and abnormal levels of white blood cells and red blood cells. Conclusions The demographic, clinical, laboratory, and microbiological parameters may be predictors of mortality in patients of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis.

“…Systemic inflammation can be assessed by the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) that acts as a prognostic biomarker for many diseases such as inflammatory, hematological, cardiovascular, psychiatric diseases and cancer (11) . Also, PLR was found to be an accessible predictor of COVID-19 infection mortality and its associated complications (12,13) . Subclinical inflammation in schizophrenia was also independently associated with PLR.…”

Background: Chronic inflammation was associated with the hyporesponsiveness to erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. A rising indicator of inflammation is the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Objective: The aim of the current work was to assess the role of the PLR in detection of the response to ESA in HD cases. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 80 patients who underwent regular HD at the
