Abstract

The present thesis evaluated the relationship between culinary appropriation and colonialism. The research aimed to examine the historical context of colonial culinary appropriation by reviewing pertinent literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenomenon’s objectives in relation to culinary nationalism, define its factors, and demonstrate its implications. A single case study of Palestinian cuisine was conducted by employing semistructured interviews with 17 participants. The research opted for an interpretive approach followed by thematic analysis. The findings revealed a strong relationship between culinary appropriation and colonialism, as colonial culinary appropriation is a subset of cultural appropriation with a unique set of characteristics and facets. According to the findings of this study, the primary goal of colonial culinary appropriation is to increase the colonizer's sense of culinary nationalism while diminishing that of the colonized. In addition, the results revealed that -narration, commodification, and marketing- serve as the concept's actors, with normalization as its primary implication. It was concluded that food can serve as both a mechanism for the colonizer and a medium for the colonized. A presente tese avaliou a relação entre apropriação culinária e colonialismo. A pesquisa teve como objetivo examinar o contexto histórico da apropriação culinária colonial por meio da revisão da literatura pertinente. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os objetivos do fenômeno em relação ao nacionalismo culinário, definir seus fatores e demonstrar suas implicações. Um estudo de caso único da culinária palestina foi realizado por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 17 participantes. A pesquisa optou por uma abordagem interpretativa seguida de análise temática. Os resultados revelaram uma forte relação entre apropriação culinária e colonialismo, pois a apropriação culinária colonial é um subconjunto de apropriação cultural com um conjunto único de características e facetas. De acordo com os resultados deste estudo, o objetivo principal da apropriação culinária colonial é aumentar o sentimento de nacionalismo culinário do colonizador e diminuir o do colonizado. Além disso, os resultados revelaram que -narração, mercantilização e marketing- servem como fatores do conceito, tendo como principal implicação a normalização. Concluiu-se que o alimento pode servir tanto como mecanismo para o colonizador quanto como meio para o colonizado.

Abstract

Aim of the study: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) affects more than 71 million people worldwide. Many therapies containing different direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are now used. However, lipid profile is considered an important outcome with DAAs. So, this study aimed to assess clinical effects of statins in CHC patients. Material and methods: One hundred patients were recruited from Kobri El koba Armed Forces Hospital and randomly assigned to: the drug group (D; n = 50) receiving simvastatin 10 mg plus sofosbuvir 400 mg/daclatasvir 60 mg (SOF/DAC) daily for 12 weeks; and the placebo group (P; n = 50), receiving placebo plus the same (SOF/DAC) regimen. Sustained virological response at 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12), lipid profile, C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrosis stage were assessed. Results: One hundred treatment-naïve CHC patients completed 12 weeks of the protocol with no clinically significant side effects. There was an increase in SVR failure rate in P (10%) compared to D (only 2%) but not reaching statistical significant difference; SVR12 (p > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that high baseline CRP, low baseline hemoglobin level and non-statin usage had an independent effect on increasing the probability of SVR failure in both groups; p = 0.03, p = 0.0028, p = 0.02, respectively. Conclusions: Statins could have an irreplaceable role in successful treatment of CHC patients receiving sofosbuvir/ daclatasvir. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background Medication errors made by nurses are common in general practice and can lead to harm in patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of pharmacist-led educational implementations in reducing medication errors made by nurses in an emergency hospital in Cairo, Egypt. Methods A prospective pre–post-interventional study was conducted in an emergency hospital using direct observation for the detection of errors. The rate and severity of medication errors were determined before and after the implementation of educational tools. Results In total, 1025 and 1024 patients were examined pre- and post-intervention, respectively. Pharmacist interventions resulted in a significant reduction in the medication error rate from 351 (34.2%) in the pre-intervention phase to 157 (15.3%) in the post-intervention phase (P < 0.001). In both the pre- and post-intervention phases, none of the medication errors were associated with harm/death. Furthermore, all types of medication errors declined as a result of the interventions. Conclusion Clinical pharmacists' interventions focusing on improving nurses' drug knowledge and awareness of errors were shown to be effective in reducing the rate and severity of medication administration errors among nurses in an emergency hospital environment.

Abstract

Manal El-Hamamsy,1 Ramy R Ghali,2 Amr S Saad,2 Sara M Shaheen,1 Ahmed M Salem1 1Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt; 2Department of Clinical Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt Background: FAS-670 A>G (rs1800682) and FASL-844 C>T (rs763110) polymorphisms have been previously correlated with clinical outcome of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast and bladder cancers. We investigated the influence of these polymorphisms on clinical outcome of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) patients.Patients and methods: In this cohort study (NCT02269878), 68 epithelioid MPM Egyptian patients treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy were recruited in the period between April 2014 and May 2015. The genotype analysis was performed using TaqMan® single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping assay. The association between the selected polymorphisms and response rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 18 months was evaluated.Results: The median age of patients was 55 years and 45.6% of them received platinum in combination with pemetrexed, while 54.4% received platinum in combination with gemcitabine. FASL-844 CC genotype was more common than expected in early-stage tumor (P=0.042). It was found that there was no association between the investigated polymorphisms and response rate or 18-month OS. However, the PFS rate at 18 months for FASL-844 CC genotype carriers was 45% versus 10.6% for FASL-844 CT/TT genotypes carriers (log-rank: 6.2; P=0.013). Also, the number of platinum-based cycles and tumor stage were found to be significant variables for PFS by univariate analysis (P≤0.001 and P=0.006, respectively). Stratified Cox regression showed that the carriers of FASL-844 CT/TT genotypes were still more susceptible to disease progression than carriers of FASL-844 CC genotype (adjusted HR =3.77, 95% CI: 1.34–10.62
