Background: The prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is rising in Iraq. Adherence to medications among SLE patients remains a significant problem, and nonadherence can lead to decreased quality of life (QoL) and poor disease outcomes. Objectives: To determine the efficacy of pharmacist interventions in enhancing medication adherence, QoL, and self-efficacy among SLE patients. In addition, to assess the influence of pharmacist intervention on the uptake and willingness to take the flu vaccine among patients with SLE. Methods: A pharmacist intervention study was conducted at the Rheumatology Unit in Baghdad Teaching Hospital. Participants obtained educational counseling and a self-assembled booklet. Each patient participated in two sessions; the initial session was conducted immediately after the completion of a baseline evaluation of adherence, QoL, and self-efficacy through a face-to-face interview, and the second session was held one month later. Each session continued for approximately 25-35 minutes. The evaluation of adherence, QoL, and self-efficacy was obtained again at the end of the study. Results: The study recruited 90 patients with a mean age of 34.29±9.9 years. The mean scores of adherence, physical, social, and psychological domains of QoL, and self-efficacy were significantly enhanced after the intervention. Still, the environmental domain of quality of life is non-significantly changed. Also, after the intervention, a significant rise was seen in the uptake and willingness to take the flu vaccine. Conclusion: Pharmacist-led intervention significantly improved medication adherence, quality of life, self-efficacy, and the uptake and willingness to take the flu vaccine among SLE patients.

military rule that dominated the Nigerian Political life to be a civilian state
Despite the broad approbation of additive manufacturing technologies over diverse industries, printed parts’ performance, quality, and related build time are still greatly influenced by printing parameters. These parameters majorly affect mechanical strength, surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and overall production time of the printed part. Customized 3D printing layer thickness, speed, and acceleration are crucial parameters that affect the speedy printing process and final product quality. The current work considers layer thickness in addition to speed and high acceleration values effect on the surface quality, surface roughness and productivity time of 3D printed Polylactic Acid (PLA).
