The impact of asset management on achieving bank profitability (Applied study within Al-Khaleej commercial bank)

Banking activity is essential in countries' economies, as banks are considered intermediate financial institutions between surplus and deficit. Bank managers work on achieving the main objectives of any bank, which are: (profitability, liquidity, and security) by balancing the management of assets and liabilities and avoiding risks that face their work, such as liquidity risks and credit risks, as asset management is concerned with choosing the optimal investment combination for available sources of funds, as the funds are utilized in a variety of ways to reduce risks and obtain profit. Maximizing the bank's profitability is the responsibility of the management, as maximizing profitability is a strategic goal for the bank, and it will contribute to expanding the bank's work and obtaining a larger market share. The research was based on the analysis of banking profitability indicators (income of assets, income of investment) and their impact on profitability. As asset management is the one factor that affects the returns of assets and acquisitions, and, in turn, bank profitability is concerned. Thus, asset management must invest money elaborately and keep risks at bay

A 10 Year Survey of Neonatal Kidney Mass in North-East of Iran (Khorasn)

Objective: Although abdominal mass in neonates is not common, it is very critical to detect it promptly. 2/3 of neonatal abdominal masses belong to kidney. Correct diagnosis and immediate appropriate management can prevent morbidity and mortality. This study pays special attention to incidence, associated anomalies and mortality rate in those neonates who suffered from palpable kidney mass. Material & Methods: During a period of 10 years 48250 neonates were examined for abdominal mass by neonatalogists or pediatric residents. Sonography in suspected cases of abdominal mass was performed to confirm the diagnosis. In all cases of neonatal death, autopsy was performed. Findings: Thirty out of 48250 neonates had abdominal mass presenting as nephromegaly (1/1600). Polycystic kidneys (PCK) were the most common cause of renal enlargement followed by multicystic kidney disease (MCK) and hydronephrosis. Conclusion: It was revealed that renal mass contained most of abdominal mass in our study and mortality (73%) was higher than other reports. Also, we found that PCK was the most common abdominal mass in our cases. Lung hypoplasia was the most common cause of death in PCK cases

Aims of study: The purpose of this study is to compare the levels of plasmin, inducible nitric oxide, and nitric oxide in COVID-19 infection patients to a healthy control group, with a scientific interpretation of the predicted results. Methods: Data was collected from ninety people, divided into two groups: patients and controls, and a demographic study was conducted, which included age, gender, oxygen saturation, and BMI, with diabetes and asthma eliminated. The plasmin and inducible nitric oxide levels are estimated using the enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) technique, and nitric oxide is measured using a spectrophotometer. Results: Patients with COVID-19 showed a substantial rise in the values of plasmin and inducible nitric oxide synthase enzyme, as well as a decrease in the value of nitric oxide, when compared to healthy controls

Comparison of Structured Clinical Instruction Module and Video-Assisted Instructor -Led Training in Accelerating and Retention of Nursing and Midwifery Students’ Skill in Neonatal Resuscitation

Background & aim: Some studies have called into question medical students' competency in neonatal resuscitation. Therefore applying standard training methods has been recommended. This study compared the effect of Structured Clinical Instruction Module (SCIM) and video-assisted Instructor -led training (ILT) in accelerating and retention of students’ knowledge and skill in neonatal resuscitation.Methods: In this experimental study 48 nursing and midwifery students of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad Iran, who did not attended in any related education, were allocated in SCIM, VT and control group through stratified randomization. In SCIM group, after lecture, six groups of students rotated through six stations, trained and practiced under supervision of six instructors.  In VT group after lecture an instructional video presented then students repeated the video and discussed its content with each other and instructor. Before, after and one month following workshops all students participated in an OSCE to assess their cognitive, technical and behavioral skills. Paired t-test and One-way ANOVA were used for data analysis.Results: In post-test, both groups of SCIM and VT had better performance than control group (p<.001, p<.001, respectively). But SCIM group demonstrated a marked improvement compared with VT group (202.97±16.6 vs 173.6±15.3 (P<0.001). There was a significant difference between students’ comfort and confidence in both SCIM and VT groups (P<0/001). In retention test total score between three groups showed significant difference (P<0.001); whilst the SCIM group had significantly better performance (P<0.001).Conclusion: SCIM is an effective method in acquisition and retention of neonatal resuscitation skill. So its application is recommended in the neonatal resuscitation training

Genetic Association of UGT1A1 Promoter Variants (c.-3279T>G and c.-3156G>A) with Neonatal Hyperbili-rubinemia in an Iranian Population

Background: Several studies have reported that two promoter variants (c.-3279T>G and c.-3156G>A) in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene may contribute to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. However, these variants have not been investigated in Iranian neonates. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine if the UGT1A1 promoter variants are significant risk factors associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: A total of 178 unrelated neonates, including newborns with neonatal jaundice (n=95) and healthy controls (n=83), were included in this study. Each individual was genotyped by the PCR-RFLP and COP-PCR at nucleotides -3279 and -3156, respectively, using fresh blood DNA. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association of UGT1A1 promoter variants with the presence of significant hyperbilirubinemia. Anthropometric indices and clinical variables were also compared between the different genotype groups. Results: Allele and genotype analysis of the c.-3279T>G and c.-3156G>A variants showed no significant association with the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia neither in the crude nor after adjustment for gestational age, gender, and birth weight in different genetic models (P>0.05). However, in haplotype-association analysis, only one haplotype (A-T) was found to be associated with the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (OR=0.19, 95% CI; [0.18–0.20], P=0.001). Conclusion: This study failed to demonstrate that c.-3279T>G and c.-3156G>A variants alone might contribute to the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Iranian neonates. However, the A-T haplotype may play a significant role in increasing the risk of hyperbilirubinemia
