Abstract: Diabetes decreases life expectancy and increases mortality rate and morbidity associated with development of complications with enormous cost. It is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Diabetes decreases life expectancy and increases mortality rate and morbidity associated with development of complications with enormous cost. However, with proper diet, exercise and good adherence to medication (three cornerstones of management), diabetes can be managed with minimal or no complications. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Parirenyatwa group of Hospital in Harare, Zimbabwe and it was done in the out-patients' department.......

Abstract: Patient safety is a concern worldwide and viewed as a crucial component of quality in healthcare service. Medication administration errors(MAEs) often used as indicators of patient safety in hospitals because of their common occurrence and potential risk to patients. The aim of the study is to (1) compare the nurses' perception toward patient safety culture at the work unit in the Ministry of Health Hospital and Teaching Hospital. (2) compare nurses' perception of reasons of medication errors occurrence and barriers to reporting at both hospitals (3) and determine how difference innurses'perception of patient safety culture can affect medication error occurrence and barriers to reporting among nurses. A descriptive comparative research design was used. Data was collected from convenience sample of nurses using Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) for assessing nurses' attitude toward safety culture and The Medication..........

Abstract: The present study investigated the ameliorating effect of ginger (Zingiberofficinale) and garlic (Allium sativium) aqueous extract on some renal function parameters in lead-induced nephrotoxicity in adult albino rats. A total of fifty rats were used for this study. Of these, twenty were used for the LD50 determination. The remaining thirty rats were divided randomly into five groups of six rats each. Group A: Served as negative control and were administered with 10ml/kg/b/wtdistilled water. Group B: Served as positive control and received 100mg/kg b wt of lead acetate. Group C: Received 100mg/kg b wt lead acetate and 100mg/kg b wt garlic aqueous extract. Group...........

Abstract: Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of carrying unilateral backpack on dominant and non-dominant sides on posture in female adolescents. Subjects and Methods: Seventy five adolescent female students were participated in this study. Their age ranged from 12-18 years.All students wereassessedusing formetric instrument system under three conditions;during carrying backpack on dominant,non-dominant side, and without carrying any load. The outcome measures includetrunk variables (trunk imbalance, inclination and inclination angle), pelvicvariables (pelvic tilt, torsion, rotation and inclination), spineangles (maximum kyphotic and lordotic angles) anddeviation variables (lateral deviation RMS, maximum lateral deviation and surface rotation).............
