There is inter-individual variability in response to the antiplatelet effect of standard doses of aspirin (150, 300 mg/day). The response to aspirin 300 mg/day is enhanced in resistant patients when compared to 150 mg/day. There was a significant association between aspirin resistance and atherothrombotic risk factors (diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and obesity).
his study was conducted to investigate the effect of college hostels residents' life style and eating habits and their impact on liver, kidneys and gastro intestinal system (GIT), and to compare between girls and boys inside the hostels concerning the same parameters. The study started by giving several questionnaires to elicit their general complaints and detailed symptoms, after which anthropometric measures were taken then clinical examinations and laboratory investigations were carried out. The study tried to detect the most prevailing GIT, liver and kidneys diseases that affected students in university hostels. Recommendations to solve these complaints were presented. The study found that college students in the university hostels practiced unhealthy life style and food habits; 53% ate while watching TV, 8% of boys are cigarette smokers, the frequency of sports per week was as low as 1.2 times only, 70% of students preferred junk foods and 45% of students preferred fried foods.

Students were then clinically examined and samples were drawn for laboratory tests. Clinical examination showed prevalence of GIT signs (72%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
