Authors: Atiya Wardil  * Othman , Khaleel Ibrahim Samera
Published: September 2024

In this research, we investigated addressing the challenges associated with the seasonal allergic medical drug inventory system. The focus was on determining the optimal demand by calculating the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and achieving the lowest cost within the Pharmaceutical Industries and Medical Supplies company in Samarra. The primary objective was to efficiently meet the demand for seasonal allergy medications by identifying the optimal demand for medical drugs. The study encompassed two types of seasonal allergy medications, namely Samatifen drink and VALIAPAM 2 pills. The calculation of the lowest cost involved two methods: the multi-component production model without deficit, with restrictions, the solution was done using the classical method (normal) and mathematical analyses, utilizing tools such as QM and Win Qsb. Additionally, linear quadratic bilevel programming (LQBP) was employed. The LQBP model comprised an upper-level decision maker (leader) and a lower-level decision maker (follower). The transformation of the bilevel model into a single-level model was accomplished through the application of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, and the solution was obtained using the modified simplex algorithm. The study's findings underscore the effectiveness of the LQBP method in identifying the optimal solution for the inventory problem by calculating the lowest cost. This approach significantly reduced medical drug inventory-related costs, with a value of 1,496,700,000 Iraqi Dinars (ID) and a production of 1200,700 ID. Notably, this cost was considerably lower than the total cost value obtained using the classical method, which was 1,719,166 ID/year, with a production of 2526,1773 ID. Therefore, bilevel programming (BLPP) demonstrates superior efficiency, providing more accurate and cost-effective solutions. This research emphasizes the potential of bilevel programming in optimizing medical drug inventory systems and contributes to the advancement of operational research in the healthcare sector.

Authors: Leung Roxanne H. , Belfiore Alyssa , Whibbs Hannah , Wilson Emma , Seo Hoyang , Rotman Sydney
Published: September 2024

Importance: Obstetrics and gynaecology (OBGYN) focuses on women’s reproductive health. Many significant challenges in the field of OBGYN stem from limitations in screening, diagnostic, or treatment options. Conditions that are poorly understood, such as pre-eclampsia or endometriosis offer few management options or prevention strategies. In recent years, growing interest and advancements in personalized medicine have led to a deeper understanding of the aetiology and pathophysiology of OBGYN conditions, potential targets for intervention, and novel approaches to management. The aim of this review is to briefly describe some of these emerging areas of research and clinical use.
Observations: Personalized medicine in obstetrics is a foundational concept underlying routine prenatal care and also drives ongoing research in areas such as advanced assisted reproductive technology, screening for medical complications during pregnancy, and fetal treatment in utero of congenital diseases. In gynaecology, developments in our understanding of determinants and mechanisms of common conditions have illuminated potential avenues for improved diagnosis and more individualized approaches to treatment of endometriosis and postmenopausal symptoms.
Conclusions and Relevance: Personalized medicine is a flourishing area of research and clinical application with the potential for significant benefits to OBGYN patients. This concept has driven research interest and advancement in OBGYN disease processes that are poorly understood and offers potential novel diagnostic and treatment options for the future. With endless potential to improve the health outcomes of women and children, personalized approaches to screening, diagnosis, and management are worthwhile investments.
A two-dimensional cellular automaton model of parasystole
Authors: Kodancha Megha
Published: September 2024

Under normal cardiac conditions, the sinoatrial node is the pacemaking region which initiates depolarization in the heart; in parasystole, there also exists an ectopic pacemaker which may initiate depolarization waves. Parasystole is a form of arrhythmia caused by the influence of the secondary pacemaker on cardiac behaviour. Specifically, we consider cases of pure parasystole, where the two pacemakers are protected from each other. Previous theoretical models of pure parasystole consider the interaction of two pacemakers without incorporating physical space. The objective here is to create a simple, theoretical, two-dimensional model of pure parasystole where the distance between the pacemakers may be adjusted. A cellular automaton model was created using Python 3.8.3 and associated packages. The model was used to evaluate how changes in space influenced cell activation cycles and the number of intervening sinus beats (the number of times cells were activated by the sinus node versus being activated by the ectopic pacemaker). The model dynamics were further compared to experiments using optogenetic methods to stimulate a cardiac monolayer from two sites. This model provides insight into the physical dynamics of parasystole in its most basic form so that it may be built upon to eventually be used in a clinical context.

Authors: Kajitani Sten , Kodancha Megha , Anderson Hannah , Smith Kayla , Goodings Anthony , Siddaiah Dr Dayananda , Mthethwa Mpho
Published: September 2024

Background: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a significant public health concern, affecting an estimated 28,725 individuals in Ireland with considerable associated costs. Despite its complexity, the biopsychosocial model offers a comprehensive approach, enabling clinicians to integrate predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating, and protective factors when understanding and managing BPD.
 
Objective: This report presents a case study of a 35-year-old woman with a background of BPD and substance abuse, detailing her biopsychosocial formulation during an episode of acute suicidal ideation.
 
Methods: The case entailed a thorough history and clinical examination, focusing on the biopsychosocial model's 4P causal framework: predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating, and protective factors.
 
Results: Predisposing factors were abundant, including family history of mental health disorders and personal history of trauma. Precipitating factors were multi-faceted, encompassing biological vulnerabilities from alcohol abuse and significant recent social stressors, such as unemployment, eviction, custody battles, and bereavement. Perpetuating elements revolved around ongoing legal challenges and deep-seated feelings of guilt. However, protective factors were also present: no co-existing medical conditions, an eventual stable mood post-treatment, and engagement in therapeutic activities, including mindfulness interventions.
 
Conclusion: This case underscores the value of the biopsychosocial model in psychiatric patient care, highlighting its potential to uncover individualized nuances in classic presentations. Embracing this model can optimize holistic care, underscoring its imperative utility in clinical practice.

Authors: Goodings Anthony James , Kajitani Sten H.
Published: September 2024

Introduction
This case report examines a 6-year-old male patient, NN, with a complex presentation of impetiginized atopic dermatitis. The report adopts a biopsychosocial approach, considering the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors influencing the patient's condition and management.
 
Methods
The case study methodology involved a comprehensive review of NN's medical history, family background, and current clinical presentation. A multidisciplinary approach was employed, integrating insights from dermatology, pediatrics, psychology, and social work to holistically address the patient's needs.
 
Results
Biologically, NN's condition was characterized by severe exacerbation of atopic dermatitis, likely triggered by environmental pathogens and compounded by iron-deficiency anemia. Psychologically, the severity of his skin condition led to increased irritability and social withdrawal, a notable deviation from his previously cheerful temperament. Social considerations highlighted the supportive family environment and the challenges posed by the visible nature of his skin lesions, affecting his school attendance and potential social stigma.
 
Discussion
The case underscores the intricate relationship between biological predispositions, psychological resilience, and social environmental factors in managing pediatric atopic dermatitis. It highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treating such complex cases, considering not only the physical but also the emotional and social wellbeing of the patient.
 
Conclusion
NN's case demonstrates the critical need for an integrated biopsychosocial approach in pediatric dermatology, particularly in complex cases like impetiginized atopic dermatitis. Tailoring treatment to address the multifaceted aspects of the patient's condition can lead to more effective management and improved quality of life for both the patient and their family.
Ermessen im Sinne des Gesetzes
Authors: Zußner Matthias
Published: September 2024

Zur Bedeutung von Ermessensspielräumen für die neue Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit Die Frage nach den Grenzen verwaltungsgerichtlicher Entscheidungsbefugnis bei der Kontrolle der Rechtmäßigkeit verwaltungsbehördlicher Entscheidungen ist so alt wie die Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit selbst. Wie das rezente Erkenntnis des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts zur geplanten dritten Start- und Landepiste am Flughafen Wien gezeigt hat, ist sie deshalb aber nicht minder aktuell - und zwar nicht nur aus Sicht der Rechtswissenschaft, sondern auch für die Rechtspraxis. Das Ermessen bildet dabei schon nach verfassungsrechtlicher Grundlegung den Schlüsselbegriff bei der Abgrenzung der Verantwortungsbereiche von Verwaltung und Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, dem verfassungsrechtlichen Ermessensbegriff mit einer systematischen Modellanalyse Konturen zu verleihen, um so mehr Klarheit über die Reichweite verwaltungsgerichtlicher Entscheidungsbefugnis zu schaffen.

Is Barrett Equation Universally Applicable for Explaining Dielectric Constant of Ferroelectrics and Ferroelectric Thin Films?
Authors: Lahiry S.
Published: September 2024

Slater’s formula for perovskite ferroelectrics was modified by Barrett to include the quantum effect. Dielectric constant vs temperature (e¢ vs. T) data for Strontium titanate (ST) and Potassium tantalate (KT) in single crystals and ceramics fitted well, while the data (e¢ vs. T) for Barium titanate (BT) in single crystals and ceramics did not fit at all to Barrett’s equation. That is, ferroelectrics like ST, which show only Curie-Weiss temperature but does not show a ferroelectric transition, obey Barrett’s equation. The Curie-Weiss law fitted the data of BT well. That KT a cubic and consequently a paraelectric down to 13 K obeys Barrett’s equation is intriguing. e¢ vs T values of Barium strontium titanate (BaxSr1-xTiO3), thin films could be fitted to the Curie-Weiss law, thus eliminating the existence of quantum effect in thin films.
