Abstract
Introduction: Empathy is defined as understanding of patient’s experiences, concern and perceptive, combined with a capacity to communicate and intention to help. Patient takes doctors empathy as his good will for successful treatment of his patient while understanding his misery. This study was designed to in investigate the perception of patients regarding doctor empathy and to examine their satisfaction and personal interest or indications of patient compliance.
Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between August 1, 2015 50 August 26, 2015. 100 patients selected purposively from OPD and ward. A self-administrated Likert styled questionnaire originally developed by Hojat et al at Jefferson school of Medicine with Urdu translation was administered. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.
Results: Among the total of 100 patients, 98%patients accept that their Doctor has been taking care of them, 74% patients were satisfied that the Doctor explain the reason for any test, 94% thought that their Doctor explained things clearly to them, 96% strongly agreed that their doctor had knowledge and skills, 100% were satisfied with the care their doctor provided, while 82%claimed that their doctor encourage them to explain the disease to him, 94% wanted their doctor to be present in any medical emergency.
Conclusions: This study reveals a high degree of patient’s satisfaction with empathy of Doctors of MMCH, although some improvement is still possible.
Key words: Patient, empathy, concern, satisfaction, MMC

Biomass-based Porous Functional Materials for Photothermal Decontamination of Water
No full textWater is extremely important for all living things. But global economic development, climate change, and population growth have put water resources under stress. Particularly, freshwater production is decreasing continuously. In the coming years, billions of people will be under water stress conditions. So, serious actions need to be taken. Interfacial solar steam generation is a promising and sustainable approach, which uses solar light as a renewable energy source with low environmental impact, to tackle freshwater scarcity. However, low solar absorbance and high heat losses cause poor solar-to-vapour conversion efficiency. In recent years, several photothermal materials have been developed to be used in solar evaporator devices, yet many problems need to be resolved. For instance, photothermal materials should be low-priced, eco-friendly, stable in harsh conditions, and easy to fabricate. Considering these factors, we have developed different sustainable photothermal functional materials using bone and vegetable waste, with highly porous structure, low weight, enhanced wettability, prolonged stability in water, high optical absorbance, low thermal conductivity necessary for that localization, and adequate solar-to-vapour conversion efficiency. The solar evaporation rate achieved is >1.1 kg m-2 h-1 with a solar-to-vapour conversion efficiency of >80% under 1 Sun irradiation. The prepared biomass-based materials can successfully desalinate artificial seawater, and decontaminate synthetic wastewater, (e.g. water containing dye molecules and hazard metal ions) with an efficiency of >98%. Most importantly the developed materials present salt anti-fouling ability and anti-bio-fouling properties. Thus, the multifunctional highly porous biocomposite photothermal materials prepared in this thesis are a cost-effective promising solution for prolonged wastewater decontamination processes. Last but not least, in this thesis, we also propose effective solutions to valorize food waste offering solutions to two major issues of modern society: water shortage and waste management
Chirality at the Nanoparticle Surface: Functionalization and Applications
No full textChiral molecules, such as amino acids and carbohydrates, are the building blocks of nature. As a consequence, most natural supramolecular structures, such as enzymes and receptors, are able to distinguish among different orientations in space of functional groups, and enantiomers of chiral drugs usually have different pharmacokinetic properties and physiological effects. In this regard, the ability to recognize a single enantiomer from a racemic mixture is of paramount importance. Alternatively, the capacity to synthetize preferentially one enantiomer over another through a catalytic process can eliminate (or at least simplify) the subsequent isolation of only one enantiomer. The advent of nanotechnology has led to noteworthy improvements in many fields, from material science to nanomedicine. Similarly, nanoparticles functionalized with chiral molecules have been exploited in several fields. In this review, we report the recent advances of the use of chiral nanoparticles grouped in four major areas, i.e., enantioselective recognition, asymmetric catalysis, biosensing, and biomedicine
