FROM LIBERAL ORDER TO RULES-BASED ORDER: DECODING GEOPOLITICS OF GLOBALIZATION
Authors: SINGH MANASI
Published: June 2024

Globalization was considered as a panacea to end geopolitical rivalries by integrating economies and societies into vast networks of interdependence. The web of complex interdependence woven through global supply chains and cross-border connections, although to a large extent, has led to disappearance of geography. Nonetheless, promotion of embedded liberalism has reconstituted political and social boundaries that can be weaponized to gain asymmetric advantages. The liberal order consolidated during the post-Cold War unipolar moment and scripted the story of global governance. Post 2010, the waning United States (US) hegemony and rise of China marked a discrediting of liberal internationalism, supplanting it with the rules-based order which although reflects Western values and interests, but is under constant improvisation by other actors challenging the status quo. With several competing visions in the fray, the future global order would certainly reflect new power constellations, norms and rules. The paper thus argues that both liberal order and its successor the rules-based order largely cater to preserve the geopolitical and geoeconomic interests of dominant powers who advocate for a free and open order. Rules, however, remain an empty rhetoric as the world is in a strategic disarray characterised by growing economic inequality and socio-cultural upheavals.

Authors: Hasan Iman Jaber Hasan
Published: June 2024

One metabolic syndrome is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) marked by polycystic ovary the hyperandrogenism, and anovulation. PCOS affects 6–10% of women in their reproductive years. It is a common condition. When no other cause can be identified, polycystic ovaries, hyperandrogenism, and/or irregular ovulation are the hallmarks of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Since frank (overt) hypothyroidism is linked to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, weight gain, anovulatory cycles, decreased levels of SHBG, and infertility, it shares several characteristics with the PCOS phenotype. Thyroid disorder screening is part of the recommended baseline screening for women who may be suspected of having PCOS, irregular menses, or infertility.Insulin resistance plays a role in PCOS pathogenesis.

Soil Compaction Induced by Different Tillage Systems and its Impact on Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea Mays L.)
Authors: Nassir Aqeelnasssir , Mishall Abbas , mohammed Ahmad
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Maize (Zea Mays L.) cultivation faces challenges from mechanized tillage-induced compaction, impacting soil physical properties crucial for growth. This compaction, stemming from machinery-soil interactions during tillage, alters bulk density, root penetration resistance, and water infiltration rates. Tractive tires play a central role in this process. The chapter explores the intricate relationship, emphasizing its adverse effects on maize root development, nutrient availability, and overall grain yield. While studies report significant yield reductions under severe compaction, a universally agreed-upon critical level remains elusive, necessitating further research into dynamic soil factors influencing maize productivity. This insight informs strategies for optimizing cultivation practices amid mechanized tillage challenges. Soil compaction, a critical concern in maize cultivation, profoundly impacts plant growth. Mechanized tillage-induced compaction alters soil properties, affecting bulk density, root penetration, and water movement. Compacted soil restricts air and water availability, hindering root respiration and nutrient uptake. This multifaceted constraint leads to poor seed germination, reduced yields, and increased vulnerability to root diseases. Mitigation strategies include low tillage machine loads, precision agriculture, conservation tillage, bioturbation, and deep tillage. While some compaction may benefit water retention, excessive levels pose risks. A holistic approach involves soil assessments, controlled traffic farming, cover crops, mechanical aeration, optimized equipment design, and ongoing monitoring. Education and adaptive practices are crucial for sustainable soil compaction management.

Authors: Muter Ayat S. , Ali Loay H.
Published: June 2024

The current study was designed to investigate the impact of pomegranate juice on some biochemical and tissue variables resulting from the administration of Red Bull energy drink in male rats. In this study, 28 male white rats were used and divided into four groups, each containing 7 animals, as follows: Group 1 (G1), received physiological saline solution (5 mL/kg) and a normal diet for 120 days. Group 2 (G2), administered Red Bull energy drink (1 ml per 100 g) and a standard diet. Group 3 (G3), given pomegranate juice (5 ml/kg) initially, followed by Red Bull. Group 4 (G4), given Red Bull initially, and after six weeks, administered pomegranate juice. After the completion of the treatment for all animals, blood was drawn from the heart for laboratory analysis. The results of the current study showed that the consumption of Red Bull energy drink led to an increase in the levels of RBS, AST, ALT, and oxidative damage, as indicated by elevated MDA levels. Additionally, there was a reduction in antioxidant levels, including glutathione (GSH) and catalase (CAT).
Pomegranate juice has the ability to reduce the concentration of RBS, AST, and ALT. The results also demonstrated the ability of pomegranate juice to decrease oxidative stress by lowering MDA levels, along with its capability to increase the levels of antioxidants GSH and CAT in the blood serum. Histological changes in the stomach revealed loss of the histological pattern of the surface tissue, nuclear shrinkage of surface cells, infiltration of inflammatory lymphoid cells, as well as disruption in the muscle layer and thickening of the blood vessel wall compared to the negative control group. Additionally, histological changes in the small intestine tissue showed clear evidence of cell shrinkage (D) in the villi, thickening of the vessel wall (TW), along with pronounced infiltration of inflammatory cells (LI). The results also indicated clear evidence of blood congestion (CON) and degeneration of the muscular layer (DML) in the structure of intestinal tissue, compared to the negative control group. Histological examination results showed that pomegranate juice has the potential for cellular repair of stomach and small intestine tissues, making them closely approximate the histological structure of the control group. This suggests the possibility of using it in the treatment of cellular damage, enhancing the functional efficiency of tissue cells.

Published: June 2024

Non-specific chronic low back pain affects 90% of people around the world, resulting in impairment. Their quality of life can be enhanced by exercising. However, due to the complexity of non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) the most effective type of exercise as a rehabilitation technique is unknown, and more research is required. Objective: To assess the effects of rhythmic stabilization and McKenzie techniques on pain and function in patients with NSCLBP. Methods: A total of 36 NSCLBP patients were randomly assigned to the McKenzie group and the rhythmic stabilization group. Over a four weeks’ period, both groups received 12 sessions. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), modified oswestry low back pain (MODI), and bubble inclinometer were used to measure outcomes at baseline of 2nd, and 4th week. Results: Across the group, both rhythmic stabilization and McKenzie's results were significant. McKenzie had more significant results within the group than rhythmic stabilization (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that both rhythmic stabilization and McKenzie were helpful in improving pain, functional status, and mobility, with significant changes in NPRS, MODI score, and ranges. In CNSLBP patients, however, McKenzie's technique was demonstrated to be more effective in alleviating pain and impairment, as well as improving mobility, when compared to the technique of rhythmic stabilization

Complete dentures are fabricated to restore functional and esthetic needs of edentulous patients. Poor psychomotor abilities undermine their satisfaction level with well fabricated dentures and prosthodontic treatment becomes unsuccessful. Objective: To evaluate the patient’s satisfaction level with newly inserted complete dentures fabricated by final year students and senior prosthodontists. Methods: The cross-sectional observational study population comprised of completely edentulous patients. The study conducted at Prosthodontic department of Lahore Medical and Dental College Lahore; from 8th June till 8th December 2023.A questionnaire was designed to assess parameters. Likert scale was used to answer; ranging from 1 to 5 where 1 is the poorest and 5 is the best value. Dentist, gender and previous experience were compared with patient satisfaction parameters. Results: Out of 62 complete denture patients; 72.6% had no denture wearing experience. 43.5% tooth loss was due to caries followed by periodontitis. Tooth loss in past 5 years’ time was 61.3%. Denture aesthetics was rated as good 46.8%. Patient satisfaction parameters with age group and doctor group showed significant association. Correlation of patient satisfaction parameters with doctor group was statistically significant for mandibular denture speech, mandibular function and operator service p-value <0.05. Conclusions: Patient satisfaction with removable prosthesis determines the success of the prosthodontics intervention. Evaluation of patients’ satisfaction level should be carried out routinely after the completion of the treatment as will help in the improvement of the work quality of a dental practitioner.

Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) is one of the major complications in patients with liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a significant health burden worldwide, and due to the increasing population and aging, the burden has increased since 1990. The pathogenesis of HE has been explained by different hypotheses, like astrocyte dysfunction, the ammonia hypothesis, and the GABA hypothesis. Hyperammonemia is the most likely cause of MHE. The breakdown of amines, amino acids, and purines by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract leads to the production of ammonia. Ammonia is converted to urea in the liver by the Krebs-Henseleit cycle. Guidelines are made to help physicians and gastroenterologists diagnose patients at an early stage of hepatic encephalopathy, and a prompt diagnosis can prevent overt hepatic encephalopathy. Since no previous national guidelines regarding PSE are available, the aim here is to create a unifying guideline regarding the treatment of both overt and covert encephalopathy in a cost-effective manner. The management plan given in these guidelines is flexible and can be changed with more authentic data. We recommended that these guidelines provide a valuable source of information regarding HE in the Pakistani population, its current diagnosis, and its treatment. There is a high cost of treatment for liver diseases, and according to the current available data, we must follow the guidelines of PSH.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in Hematologic Diagnostics

Published: June 2024

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has played a vital role in field of medical diagnostics by providing insights into the genetic causes of various disorders. NGS enables the study of multiple genes linked to hematologic diseases simultaneously and is especially helpful in the diagnosis of complicated diseases such as lymphomas, leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes [1]. NGS helps classify subtypes by detecting particular genetic changes, which is important for implementing the best treatment plans.
NGS integration into hematologic diagnostics improves patient care by using high-resolution data and increasing diagnosis accuracy. This is especially crucial for conditions where the clinical symptoms are similar. NGS-based genetic profiling aids in the prediction of patient outcomes and the course of disease, enabling more informed clinical decisions. Targeted therapy development is made possible by NGS, which also minimizes side effects and maximizes therapeutic efficacy. Despite its potential, the adoption of NGS faces several challenges including cost and accessibility, technical expertise and regulatory and ethical considerations.
 
These difficulties do, however, also provide opportunities: a broader use of NGS might greatly enhance diagnostic capacities and raise the standard of healthcare provided worldwide. International research projects that concentrate on the genetic components of hematologic illnesses can advance medical understanding worldwide and lead to novel therapeutic approaches. Global rates of morbidity and death can be decreased by better managing hematologic illnesses by early and precise diagnosis made possible by NGS.
Globally, next-generation sequencing has great potential to improve hematopoietic diagnosis and patient care. Unlocking this technology's full potential will require addressing its cost, accessibility, and technical expertise limitations. Integrating NGS into routine diagnostics could revolutionize the treatment of hematologic illnesses and improve patient outcomes and prospects globally as the world's healthcare infrastructure develops

Accurate assessment of the complexity of malaria transmission dynamics requires the selection of appropriate Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques that enable thorough analysis of risk factor parameters and structuring of decision problems into well-defined outcomes. A comparative study and analysis of multi-criteria decision-making methods such as TOPSIS, PROMETHEE II, MAUT and COPRAS was carried out using the reference rankings of MULTIMOORA and MOOSRA to evaluate the consistency of the results of these techniques and to rank the risk factors according to the vulnerability of mosquito breeding habitats and the risk of malaria transmission in the study area. The results indicate that TOPSIS ranked the alternative similarly to the reference ranking, while PROMETHEE II, MAUT, and COPRAS were ranked equally according to the weighted Spearman correlation coefficient and the weighted sum rank similarity coefficient analysis. The degree of consistency with which the risk factors in the study area were analyzed through this comparative study shows that the TOPSIS technique is suitable for its application in malaria epidemiology to determine the appropriate intervention measure for vector management in the northern zone of up to certain Plateau State.

Objectives: In this study, hematological changes in both symptomatic and asymptomatic one-humped dromedary camels were investigated.
Materials and Methods: Thirty dromedary camels, aged between 1 to 10 years, from different regions of Northern Nigeria and neighboring African countries, were sampled at the Mai’adua International Livestock Market in Katsina State, Nigeria. The camels were randomly categorized into symptomatic (10) and asymptomatic (20) groups based on clinical presentations such as diarrhea, poor body condition, tick infestation, and cutaneous lesions. Blood samples were collected from each camel into labeled vacutainers containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and subsequently analyzed using a veterinary hematology analyzer.
Results: The findings indicated a significantly (p < 0.05) increased packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), and neutrophil count in symptomatic camels compared to asymptomatic ones. Conversely, there was a significant (p < 0.05) increased lymphocyte count in symptomatic camels compared to their asymptomatic counterparts.
Conclusion: The hematological parameters, including RBC, PCV, Hb, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts, exhibited significant alterations in symptomatic camels compared to asymptomatic ones. Further research is recommended to investigate the underlying causes of hematological alterations in symptomatic camels and the potential impact of factors such as age, nutrition, and regional variations on camel hematological parameters.
