Using statistics from two LICs, namely Pakistan and Bangladesh, this research looks at if there is a correlation between socioeconomic position and achievement in cessation. A study in Pakistan and Bangladesh involving 628 smokers found that those who quit smoking had higher levels of favorable affect and lower negative impact, as well as improved HR-QOL. The study used various tests, including the Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI), Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS), and Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale. The results showed significant dispariti

In developing countries, the nosocomial infections accounts for 25% of all the infections and causes significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to find the distribution and antimicrobial resistance pattern of bacteria isolated from different operation theaters in the district headquarter hospital, Pakistan. For this purpose, a cross-sectional study was conducted; 72 samples were collected from air, floor, walls, instruments, equipment, operating bed, drapes, mop and hands of the surgeon and assistants. Settle plate’s method was used for air samples and swabs for surfaces a

The current study aims to investigate the efficiency of fluid viscous dampers (FVDS) in enhancing a low-rise construction domestic reinforced-concrete building's seismic performance. The study conducted in Bangladesh from June 2023 to June 2024 aimed to understand the operation, design specifications, and effectiveness of fluid viscous dampers in mitigating seismic activity. The study used a real-world example of a building retrofit project and used E-Tabs software to create a detailed 3D FEA model of a 10-story structure. The study aimed to assess the ways in which fluid viscous damping syste

Interdisciplinary teams (IDTs) have gained widespread attention as a promising way to meet the growing complexities of modern patient care. This review synthesizes findings from 45 primary studies (2010–2023) to explore how IDTs impact clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and medical errors. Collectively, IDT interventions demonstrated a 25% reduction in hospital readmissions, a 20% decrease in length of stay (LOS), and a 30% drop in medical errors. Patient satisfaction increased by approximately 15%. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including communication breakdowns, role ambiguity, r

The increasing use of 3D printers has heightened the need for sustainable solutions to manage the polymeric waste generated, such as PLA. This study presents the development of an innovative shredder capable of processing 3D printing waste and transforming it into reusable granules for the production process. The project involved the design of a knife mill, adapted for PLA, with blades offset by 30°, ensuring efficient distribution of cutting forces and reducing stress on the components. Critical components, such as blades, shafts, and motor, were dimensioned using precise calculations to det
