Published: June 2022

Introducción: existen métodos como “Interferon-Gamma-Release-Assay” (IGRAs) para diagnóstico de Tuberculosis Latente (TBL). En México hay pocos datos de prevalencia de TBL utilizando IGRAs en población de riesgo ocupacional. Objetivos: describir la prevalencia de TBL confirmada por IGRAs y Tuberculina (TST); cuantificar y correlacionar los niveles de interferón gama (IFN-γ) y quimiocina IP-10 en población del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (INER) en Ciudad de México. Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo, de enero 2016 a mayo 2017, en 84 sujetos de alto riesgo (neumólogos y residentes) y 11 de bajo riesgo (personal administrativo). Se midieron niveles de IFN-γ e IP-10 en sangre y se aplicó TST. Se diagnosticó TBL si TST≥10 mm, IFN-γ ≥20 pg/mL e IP-10≥500 pg/mL. El análisis fue descriptivo y analítico utilizando GraphPad v.5. Valores de p<0.05 fueron considerados significativos. Fue avalado por el Comité de Investigación. Resultados: se evaluaron 40 hombres y 44 mujeres (grupo alto riesgo) y 6 hombres y 5 mujeres (grupo bajo riesgo). La media de edad en cada grupo fue 28 y 37 años con IMC en 25 y 21,5 kg/m2. La prevalencia de TBL fue 31% con IGRAs y 32% con TST en grupo alto riesgo, 0 y 18% en bajo riesgo. El tamaño promedio de TST, IFN-γ e IP-10 fueron mayores en grupo alto riesgo. La correlación de IFN-γ e IP-10 fue buena (r=0,85; p<0,0001). Conclusión: la prevalencia de TBL en población de riesgo ocupacional varía según el método diagnóstico y existe correlación de IFN-γ y quimiocinas.

Published: June 2022

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign salivary gland neoplasm most commonly seen in major salivary glands. It’s composed of several epithelial and myoepithelial tissue elements. Pleomorphic adenoma of the lacrimal gland is a rare entity and accounts for approximately 12–25% of all lacrimal tumours. Of these 90% are seen in the orbital part and only 10% are present in the palpebral part of the lacrimal gland. We present a case report of a 33 years old female with a complaint of painless swelling in the right upper eyelid which was gradually increasing in size. A provisional diagnosis of a lacrimal gland neoplasm was made. The lacrimal mass was resected with enbloc enucleation via supratarsal fold approach. On histopathaological evaluation it showed typical morphological features of pleomorphic adenoma. After 12 months of enucleation, patient recovery was satisfactory without any signs of recurrence. This case is presented for its rarity and it highlights the need for proper diagnosis and treatment plan in the cases of benign lacrimal gland tumours.

Published: June 2022

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are predictable bacterial infections which occur frequently especially during infancy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the etiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns among infants and children who approached our hospital for the treatment of UTIs. In this observational study which was carried out from January 2009 to December 2010. Two hundred and six (206) urine samples, which were collected from children admitted to Benghazi Children’s Hospital (Nephrology department) with suspected UTIs, were studied. Demographic characteristics, etiological agents, and antimicrobial resistance were evaluated. 58 patients (28.2%) had a positive urine culture, and the majority of UTIs were occurring in females. The most common presenting symptoms were fever, dysuria, and abdominal pain. The most common isolated pathogen was Escherichia coli (67.2%), followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (20.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.4%), Proteus mirabilis (3.4%), Klebsiella oxytoca (1.7%), Enterobacter casseliflavus (1.7%) and Enterobacter cloacae (1.7%). In the current study, most of the infected cases were females, and fever was the most common presenting symptom. All isolated bacteria were highly sensitive to Meropenem (98.1%), Imipenem (96.3%), Amikacin (96.2%), Cefoxitin (81.1%), and Ciproflaxacin (80%), and had a high resistance rate to Ampecillin (89.1%) and Cephalothin (60.4%). This phenomena may be contributed to the frequent useage and miss-use of antibiotics without medical prescription.

Published: June 2022

Background: Tranexamic acid (TA) is proven to be effective to reduce perioperative bleeding in orthopedic surgery. However, it remains underutilized in daily practice. The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of TA to mimimise blood loss during TKA in countries like ours where the strategies of reducing blood loss are very limited. Methods: 112 patients were included, and randomly divided into two group of 56 patients each. One group received the IV TA while the control group did not received. For those who received TA, intravenously 10mg/kg 20 minutes before tourniquet application, 10 mg/kg 15 minutes before deflation of tourniquet, and 10 mg/kg 3 hours after the second dose dose in each knee. The main outcomes were the volume of intraoperative bleeding, the amount of blood in the drains postoperatively, as well as the level of Hb at 24 postoperative hours and 5 day postoperatively, the frequency of transfusion, and the number of red blood cells transfused. Also, all complications were recorded. Results: There were no statistical differences in demographics data between the groups. Mean intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower for TA group than for the control group (124,1±22,2 ml vs 256,4±41,08 ml ; p<0,001). Similarly, the mean amount of blood in the drains postoperatively was lower in TA group than the control group. Thereby, total blood loss was consequently less in TA+ group compared to the control group (1091,5±103,4 ml vs 636,67±48,5 ml ; p<0,001). Postoperative hemoglobin levels were higher for TA group than for the control group at 24 hours and 5 day postoperatively. In the control group 11(19,64%) patients needed blood transfusions, in comparison to only 1(1,78%) patient in the tranexamic acid group (p<0,043). Patients in the tranexamic acid group were given 2 (3,57%) units of red blood packed in total, compared with 21(37,5%) units in the control group. No thromboembolic complication were detected in both groups. ................

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is a rare clinical entity characterized by “remitting,” “seronegative,” and “symmetrical” synovitis with pitting edema on the dorsum of the hands and feet. Although rheumatic or malignant diseases are diseases that are known to coexist with RS3PE, other factors such as medication, infection, and vaccination have been reported to be associated with RS3PE. Objectif: To report the case of an 81-year-old man without rheumatic ATCD who had an RS3PE resulting from vaccination against Covid 19, based on an mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2 mRNA) and supported in our training in January 2022. Case report: An 81-year-old man, with cardiovascular risk factors such as type 2 diabetes on metformin, well-balanced hypertension, and a history of hiatal hernia complicated by iron deficiency anemia, was followed up for moderate IM valve disease under treatment. The patient presented to the emergency room with lower limb oedema, and inflammatory arthritis that had been evolving for 2 months. Three days after receiving the third dose of Pfizer's covid 19 (BNT162b2 mRNA) vaccine, the patient presented with bilateral inflammatory polyarthritis and symmetric large joints. The joint involvement was associated with swelling of the hands and feet. The hemogram showed lymphopenia at 900elements/mm3 and CRP at 140mg/L, SV at 76mm and D-dimer at 3000ng/ml. Having first ruled out a cardiac, hepatic or renal origin, we then ruled out inflammatory rheumatism, connectivitis or small vessel vasculitis. In search of the origin of this picture, the thoraco-abdomino-pelvic scanner was in favor of an inhalation pneumonia and a hiatal hernia. He ruled out a probable solid neoplastic origin. The PSA was normal. We retained the diagnosis of RS3PE secondary to vaccination as the only triggering factor for this syndrome. The patient was put on oral corticosteroid therapy with rapid degression and adjuvant treatment. .................

Wisdom in the Poetry of Muḥmood Sami al Barodi
Authors: Al Jaji Khansa Muḥammad Dieb
Published: June 2022

Muḥmood Sami al Barodi is a famous poet who was named the Resurrector of poetry in the early times when many poets of the old era were the cause of the decline in poetry. His poems had been studied from many aspects and by many scholars but no one ever spoke about al Barodi’s writings about wisdom. This article is focusing on the verses and poems that focus on the meaning of wisdom and everything that relate to it. He talked about the importance of wisdom in the poems as he encouraged the other poets to give attention to this meaning. Some published books and articles helped me write this article but I haven’t found any of them that gave this point enough significance though his poetry is full of verses about wisdom and so I chose to write about it.

There are several points which illustrate Qur’ānic I‘jāz and probably rely on Islamic Theologians -Mutakallimin’s- efforts as well as exertions regarding Qur’ānic I‘jāz. Mutakallimin for having good command over Arabic rhetorical structures have demonstrated Qur’ānic I‘jāz in two contexts: theoretically and empirically. They actually validated, that Qur’ān is the book of Allah Almighty, through comparing both standard Arabic texts: prose and poetry into face of Qur’ānic text. All these cherished efforts of Mutakallimin are rooted in Arabic rhetoric which stands for that Arabic Rhetoric and ‘ilm al-Kalām; both have very primary relation resulting in that cannot be ignored while analyzing I‘jāz phenomenon.
Classical Works on Islamic Political Order: Critical Evaluation of the Methodology of the Modern Scholars
Authors: Sadia Tabassum
Published: June 2022

As Muslim scholarship generally treated with the issues relating to rebellion in the manuals of creed, Western scholars and many modern Muslim scholars generally overlooked them. Moreover, when some of them focused on manuals of law-proper where the rules for regulating the conduct of hostilities during rebellion are elaborated, they pick and choose between the views of the jurists belonging to various schools presuming that jurists of various schools followed a common legal theory. The present paper after critically evaluating the methodology of these scholars concludes that every school of law represents a distinct and internally coherent legal theory and as scuh mixing the views of the various schools leads to analytical inconsistency. Hence, it suggests that scholars woking on the legality of rebellion from the perspective of Islamic law should focus on proper legal sources and should adopt a principle-based approach instead of mixing the views of the various schools which are founded on different, sometimes, conficting legal principles.

An Analysis of the Purpose and Causes of the “Central Discourse” in Islām: A Study from Historic to Contemporary Era
Authors: Kattoua Mohamad Turky
Published: June 2022

The wasaṭiyyah (Islamic moderation) concept is deep-rooted in Islam. It is a straight path, a good between two evils; it maintains balance between the two extremes of excess and deficiency, and between fanaticism and negligence. Moderation was widely practiced with the advent of Islam. It was a noteworthy aspect of people’s day to day life and conducts. The term wasaṭiyyah (moderation) emerged in the early eighties. It was initially introduced by Shiekh Yūsuf Al-Qaraḍāwī. He used it in his books and discourses, and gradually it become very prevalent. Few factors resulted in widespread use of the term, the main factor is the western systematic campaign against Islam and Muslims to distort their image and label them with terrorism and extremism. Therefore, they frequently used the term wasaṭiyyah to prove themselves against these accusations. Another factor is the current situation in most Muslim countries and their struggle with social and political injustice which turns Muslim youth to extremism and terrorism that is why Muslim scholars and reformers, through their moderate discourse, stood up and condemned fanaticism and radical ideology. All that made the term wasaṭiyyah widely used by different people from all walks of life, and each has its aims and intentions behind embracing the moderate discourse and raising the flag of wasaṭiyyah (moderation).

The first type of books are written for a common man, in a very simple language and style, just to get guidance from the Sīrah of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). This type of books were discussed by Dr. Sa’īdullah Qaḍī in his article “Sīrah books in Pashto Language” published in “Al-Ḥaq” Monthly Journal of Jami’a Dārul Uloom Ḥaqqānia, Akora Khattak. The second type of Sīrah books are written after deep research and criticism of the narrations. But it is worth mentioning that no comprehensive research has been carried out so far which can cover both types of books. Therefore an analysis of the Selected Sīrah writings in Pashto Language has been made, to explore the remarkable Sīrah writings in Pashto Language.
Analytical Study of Evidences & Signs of Prophecy of Muhammad (S.A.W) in Sharaf-al-Mustafā and Al-Shifā

Published: June 2022

In the status and degrees of spirituality, the highest ranking position is prophecy and apostleship in which a person gets free feeds and knowledge from the creator of the universe and then with this light and illumination brightens the hearts of other mankind. Indeed, it is an unusual claim that a prophet or a messenger does and in fact it requires strong evidences to prove. That’s why all prophets are awarded some qualities, discriminations, signs and evidences from Allah Almighty through which people clearly get awareness and acknowledgement. Such things are “Signs and Evidences of Prophecy” in which the greatest sign is “miracle”. The basic question of this article is that what are signs, evidences and arguments of prophecy in Sharaf-ul-Muṣṭafa and Al-Shifā? And what are their present implementation and importance? These books are famous for the dignity and rights of Prophet (S.A.W) and researched by scholars as a whole on their writers, contents, and methodology but not yet studied in this perspective. In this article few most important of them are selected and analyzed. Innocence and pure race, miraculous appearance, personality, debonairness, eloquence, stamp of prophet-hood, miracles and being illiterate etc. all are symptoms of prophecy of Muhammad (S.A.W). In contemporary situation the best way to prove truthfulness and greatness of Prophet (S.A.W) is to focus on better scientific, rational, logical and practical aspects of Muhammad’s (S.A.W) life and we have to apply it.

Women play a role of paramount importance in the establishment of a distinctive nature of society. Women in Pakhtūn society are regarded with respect and piety. Pakistanis in general and Pakhtūn nation in particular can tolerate monetary losses, owing to their women but they cannot tolerate immoral and disgraceful events attached with their women (mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters) which most often become a reason for the domestic enmities and hostilities. In this article, efforts were made to answer the questions; that whether the different aspects of female lives have been treated according to the teachings of Sīrah or religion is used only as a weapon to suppress them and snatch their rights. The purpose of the study was to investigate the social issues of women from birth related ceremonies, assigning names, training and education, marriage, life after marriage and heredity related issues to their domestic routine issues and how to solve these issues in the light of teachings of the Prophet (P.B.U.H)? Furthermore, suggestions were given to make these solutions more effective and easy to be implemented in our society.

Представлены результаты лабораторных исследований проб природной воды родников Воронежской области. Исследование базируется на проведении натурных измерений, проведенных осенью 2021 года. Предметом исследования являлось выявление загрязнения взятых проб воды различными поллютантами. Применены методы химического и микробиологического анализа качества воды, в том числе определение общей жесткости, минерализации, общего железа и нитратов, а также микробного числа и коли-индекса. Установлено, что основным химическим загрязнителем природной воды в исследуемых образцах являются нитраты. Большая часть опытов на содержание кишечной палочки (Escherichia Coli) характеризует исследуемые источники, как сильнозагрязненные. Установлено превышение общего микробного числа в большинстве проб по нормативам для поверхностных непитьевых вод. Выявлены наиболее загрязненные родники, установлена связь с антропогенными источниками загрязнения. Исследование показало, что 80 % родников не соответствуют требованиям микробной безопасности.

We present the results of laboratory studies of samples of natural water from springs in the Voronezh region. The study is based on field measurements in autumn 2021. The article presents the results of laboratory studies based on data on pollution of springs in the Voronezh region with various pollutants. We applied methods of chemical and microbiological analysis of water quality, including the determination of general hardness, mineralization, total iron and nitrates, as well as microbial count and coli index. The main chemical pollutant of drinking water is nitrates. Most of the samples in the study on the content of E. coli (Escherichia Coli) are classified as highly contaminated. We established an excess of the total microbial number in most samples according to the standards for surface non-potable waters. We identified the most polluted springs, as well as the connection with anthropogenic sources of pollution. The study showed that 80% of springs do not meet microbial safety requirements.
Mental Health Mobile Apps and the Need to Update Federal Regulations to Protect Users
Authors: Jiang Kewa
Published: June 2022

With greater societal emphasis on the need for better mental health services coupled with COVID-19 limits, mental health mobile applications have significantly risen in variety, availability, and accessibility. As more consumers use mental health mobile applications, more data is generated and collected by mobile application companies. However, consumers may have the false assumption that the data collected is protected under HIPAA or have an expectation of privacy protection higher than current regulations afford. This Note examines HIPAA, Health Breach Notification Rule, and section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as well as how these regulations fall short of protecting the data and privacy of consumers who use mental health mobile apps. This Note then advocates for a preventative approach by Congress towards potential data breaches and protection of data from mental health mobile apps. Looking prospectively, the Note suggests how the gaps in consumer protection can be federally remedied.
