Authors: Kuntorini Evi Mintowati , Nugroho Laurentius Hartanto , Maryani  , Nuringtyas Tri Rini
Published: May 2022

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa has been used as a traditional medicine for a long time in Southeast Asia countries and also in Indonesia. It is believed that the phytochemical content of its fruit at different levels of ripeness may affect its antioxidant activity. Therefore, this study aims to determine the antioxidant activity, phenols and flavonoids contents, and their distribution in the leaves and fruits of R. tomentosa at different levels of maturity. The antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH and FRAP analysis. Furthermore, the total flavonoid and phenolic contents were analyzed using the colorimetric and Folin–Ciocalteu methods. The distribution of secondary metabolites in the leaves or fruits tissues was determined using histochemical analysis. Antioxidant capacity was analyzed using DPPH and FRAP, and a comparable result was obtained. The highest antioxidant activity was observed in the green fruit with the value of 1419.75 ± 3.48 and 1367.59 ± 9.12 μmol TE/g DW for DPPH and FRAP, respectively. The highest TFC value observed in the young leaves and green fruits of the ethanol extract was 96.375 ± 3.96 and 95.731 ± 5.42 mg QE/g DW, respectively. The highest TPC was found in the red fruits 50.772 ± 7.46 mgAGE/g DW. The histochemical analysis provided a clear distribution of flavonoid and phenolic within the leaves and fruits. It was found that both compounds accumulated in the epidermis, mesophyll, vascular bundles, secretory cavity, and parenchyma midrib of the leaves, and also in the exocarp and mesocarp endocarp, secretory cavity, vascular bundles, seed, trichomes of the fruits. This study showed that young leaves and green fruits have a higher potency of being a natural source of antioxidants and flavonoid compounds

Authors: Li Zhi-Yuan , Wang Mei-Chun , Wang Yu-Lan
Published: May 2022

In this paper, reproducing kernel interpolation collocation method is explored for nonlinear fractional integral differential equations with Caputo variable order. In order to testify the feasibility of this method, several examples are studied from the different values of parameters. In addition, the influence of the parameters of the Jacobi polynomial on the numerical results is studied. Our results reveal that the present method is effective and provide highly precise numerical solutions for solving such fractional integral differential equations.
Some new identities of a type of generalized numbers involving four parameters
Authors: Abd-Elhameed Waleed Mohamed , Amin Amr Kamel , Zeyada Nasr Anwer
Published: May 2022

This article deals with a Horadam type of generalized numbers involving four parameters. These numbers generalize several celebrated numbers in the literature such as the generalized Fibonacci, generalized Lucas, Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, Pell-Lucas, Fermat, Fermat-Lucas, Jacobsthal, Jacobsthal-Lucas, balancing, and co-balancing numbers. We present some new identities concerned with the generalized numbers of four parameters. An explicit expression for these numbers is developed, and a mixed recurrence relation between two certain families of the generalized numbers is given, and after that, some new identities are presented and proved. A large number of identities between several celebrated numbers are obtained as special cases of our developed ones. Furthermore, some of the identities that were previously published in other articles can be deduced as special ones of our new identities.
Comparison principle and synchronization analysis of fractional-order complex networks with parameter uncertainties and multiple time delays
Authors: Fan Hongguang , Zhu Jihong , Wen Hui
Published: May 2022

This paper investigates the global synchronization problems of fractional-order complex dynamical networks with uncertain inner coupling and multiple time delays. In particular, both internal time delays and coupling time delays are introduced into our model. To overcome the difficulties caused by various delays and uncertainties, a generalized delayed comparison principle with fractional-order and impulsive effects is established by using the Laplace transform. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and mixed impulsive control technologies, some new synchronization criteria for concerned complex dynamical networks are derived. In addition, the synchronization criteria are related to the impulsive interval, network topology structure, fractional-order, and control gains. The theoretical results obtained in this paper can enhance the value of previous related works. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the correctness of our main results.
ACRnet: Adaptive Cross-transfer Residual neural network for chest X-ray images discrimination of the cardiothoracic diseases
Authors: Wang Boyang , Zhang Wenyu
Published: May 2022

Cardiothoracic diseases are a serious threat to human health and chest X-ray image is a great reference in diagnosis and treatment. At present, it has been a research hot-spot how to recognize chest X-ray image automatically and exactly by the computer vision technology, and many scholars have gotten the excited research achievements. While both emphysema and cardiomegaly often are associated, and the symptom of them are very similar, so the X-ray images discrimination for them led easily to misdiagnosis too. Therefore, some efforts are still expected to develop a higher precision and better performance deep learning model to recognize efficiently the two diseases. In this work, we construct an adaptive cross-transfer residual neural network (ACRnet) to identify emphysema, cardiomegaly and normal. We cross-transfer the information extracted by the residual block and adaptive structure to different levels in ACRnet, and the method avoids the reduction of the adaptive function by residual structure and improves the recognition performance of the model. To evaluate the recognition ability of ACRnet, four neural networks VGG16, InceptionV2, ResNet101 and CliqueNet are used for comparison. The results show that ACRnet has better recognition ability than other networks. In addition, we use the deep convolution generative adversarial network (DCGAN) to expand the original dataset and ACRnet's recognition ability is greatly improved.
Optimal control and Bayes inference applied to complex microbial communities
Authors: Romero-Leiton Jhoana P. , Prieto Kernel , Reyes-Gonzalez Daniela , Fuentes-Hernandez Ayari
Published: May 2022

Interactions between species are essential in ecosystems, but sometimes competition dominates over mutualism. The transition between mutualism-competition can have several implications and consequences, and it has hardly been studied in experimental settings. This work studies the mutualism between cross-feeding bacteria in strains that supply an essential amino acid for their mutualistic partner when both strains are exposed to antimicrobials. When the strains are free of antimicrobials, we found that, depending on the amount of amino acids freely available in the environment, the strains can exhibit extinction, mutualism, or competition. The availability of resources modulates the behavior of both species. When the strains are exposed to antimicrobials, the population dynamics depend on the proportion of bacteria resistant to the antimicrobial, finding that the extinction of both strains is eminent for low levels of the resource. In contrast, competition between both strains continues for high levels of the resource. An optimal control problem was then formulated to reduce the proportion of resistant bacteria, which showed that under cooperation, both strains (sensitive and resistant) are immediately controlled, while under competition, only the density of one of the strains is decreased. In contrast, its mutualist partner with control is increased. Finally, using our experimental data, we did parameters estimation in order to fit our mathematical model to the experimental data.
Finite-time velocity-free relative position coordinated control of spacecraft formation with dynamic event triggered transmission
Authors: Wu Jiao , Qiu Shi , Liu Ming , Li Huayi , Liu Yuan
Published: May 2022

This paper investigates the finite-time relative position coordinated control problem of distributed spacecraft formation without velocity information over limited communication bandwidth. In this design, a dynamic event triggered transmission scheme among spacecraft is designed to reduce communication burden, and a finite-time extended state observer is proposed to estimate the velocity information and the effects of non-linearity and disturbance of each spacecraft. A fast terminal sliding mode control law is developed to achieve finite-time coordination of the overall spacecraft formation. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Authors: Lardone Anna , Liparoti Marianna , Sorrentino Pierpaolo , Minino Roberta , Polverino Arianna , Lopez Emahnuel Troisi , Bonavita Simona , Lucidi Fabio , Sorrentino Giuseppe , Mandolesi Laura
Published: May 2022

We have previously evidenced that Mindfulness Meditation (MM) in experienced meditators (EMs) is associated with long-lasting topological changes in resting state condition. However, what occurs during the meditative phase is still debated.

Utilizing magnetoencephalography (MEG), the present study is aimed at comparing the topological features of the brain network in a group of EMs (n = 26) during the meditative phase with those of individuals who had no previous experience of any type of meditation (NM group, n = 29). A wide range of topological changes in the EM group as compared to the NM group has been shown. Specifically, in EMs, we have observed increased betweenness centrality in delta, alpha, and beta bands in both cortical (left medial orbital cortex, left postcentral area, and right visual primary cortex) and subcortical (left caudate nucleus and thalamus) areas. Furthermore, the degree of beta band in parietal and occipital areas of EMs was increased too.

Our exploratory study suggests that the MM can change the functional brain network and provides an explanatory hypothesis on the brain circuits characterizing the meditative process.
Tarihten Kurtulmak: Turgut Uyar'ın "Terziler Geldiler" Şiirinde Tarih ve Kentleşme
Authors: BAKIR Tuğrul
Published: May 2022

“Terziler Geldiler” Turgut Uyar’ın Dünyanın En Güzel Arabistanı kitabının ardından yayımlanan şiirlerinde çokça görülen köy-kent, kırsal-şehir karşıtlığı üzerine kurulmuştur. Şiirin alt metninde uygarlık ve liberal ekonominin Türkiye’ye girişinin köyden kente göç edenler nezdindeki yansımaları aktarılmıştır. Şiirde dekor olarak kullanılan kent ve atın bulunduğu kırlar şairin duygularını keskinleştiren nesnel dekorlara sahiptir. Bu yönüyle şiirde nesnel bağlılaşık bulunur. Şiirdeki iki farklı sembol üzerinden Türk toplumunun geçirdiği dönüşümleri okuyabiliriz. Sembol dilinin çözülmesiyle iki farklı dünya ve zamanın şair üzerinde bıraktığı duygusal etkiler açığa çıkar. “Terziler Geldiler” şairin Tütünler Islak kitabındaki diğer şiirlerinin temasını da oluşturan kapitalizm ve modernleşme eleştirisini içerir. Uyar, modernleşmenin bireyi gelenekten ve doğal hayattan kopardığını düşünmektedir. Yarattığı “altın çağ” ile Türk tarihinin geçirdiği merhaleleri tarih algısındaki değişimler çerçevesinde kendi bakış açısıyla yeniden değerlendirir. Yeni tarih algısıyla şair mevcut resmi tarih görüşünden uzaklaşmaktadır. Türkiye’deki kentleşme ve değişime maruz kalan kitlelerin bir örneği olarak moderniteden ve bunalım yaratan modern tarihten kurtulmanın yollarını aramaktadır. Türk tarihinden seçtiği mitik “Orta Asya Dönemi” ile distopik “Modern Türkiye”den zihinsel kaçış yaratmaktadır. Çalışmada nesnel bağlılaşık kavramından bahsedildikten sonra şiirdeki sembollerin ne olduğu belirlenerek Turgut Uyar’ın tarih ve kentleşme algısı “Terziler Geldiler” şiiri üzerinden çözümlenmiştir.

A superação dos desafios da pandemia exige repensar a formação continuada do professor iniciante, na busca do acolhimento, da colaboração e da valorização do trabalho docente.
Aulas com o Professor Deleuze: Possibilidades para um Estudante-egiptólogo da Matemática
Authors: Silva Patrícia Lima da , Duarte Claudia Glavam
Published: May 2022

Este artigo faz parte de um estudo de doutorado que busca pensar algumas práticas da educação matemática relacionadas às olimpíadas de matemática. Primeiramente, apresentamos a ideia de egiptólogo pensada por Gilles Deleuze (2010) na obra Proust e os signos e nos detemos em compreender no que consiste esse ofício usado pelo filósofo para fazer referência ao aprendiz. A partir desse movimento, construímos algumas torções entre o ofício de egiptólogo e algumas características que Jorge Larrosa (2003) tem associado ao estudante, fazendo emergir a noção de estudante-egiptólogo. Operamos essa noção juntamente com enunciações extraídas de nosso material empírico de estudo, construindo as características de um estudante-egiptólogo da matemática.

Qual a Medida dessa Grandeza? Uma Revisão da Literatura sobre Grandezas e Medidas
Authors: Cunha Daniel Maués da , Ferreira Joubert Lima , Costa André Pereira da
Published: May 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é compreender como a literatura mais recente, publicada em periódicos da área de Educação Matemática, apresenta o tema Grandezas e Medidas. A necessidade em se investigar tal temática se justifica, pois é um campo da Matemática Escolar reconhecido nos últimos 30 anos tanto pela produção científica como pelos currículos escolares, não devendo ser mais confundido como um conteúdo ou anexo da Geometria. Com uma abordagem qualitativa, fez-se o uso da pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando o método de revisão sistemática de literatura ao analisar os artigos publicados entre 2009 e 2019 que compuseram o corpus de análise. Observou-se que o foco das pesquisas tem sido considerando a abordagem das grandezas geométricas comprimento, área e volume. As pesquisas mostraram que atividades que propõem a utilização de materiais manipulativos e softwares, através de uma abordagem diferenciada e lúdica, propiciam resultados melhores na compreensão das propriedades das Grandezas e Medidas. Por fim, verificou-se que, em geral, os trabalhos apresentam comprimento, área e volume como atributos de objetos geométricos, enfocando atividades de comparação, produção, composição e decomposição, possibilitando de forma subjetiva a dissociação entre o quadro das grandezas, o quadro geométrico e o quadro numérico. Tal abordagem é importante pois pode contribuir com a aprendizagem dos estudantes da Educação Básica ao estudarem esse tópico na escola, em especial, no reconhecimento de grandeza não como um número ou uma medida, mas como propriedade de um objeto geométrico ou de um fenômeno natural que pode ser comparada ou medida.

ABSTRACT
Various efforts have been made by the Indonesian government to reduce the number of positive cases of COVID-19 which is still growing. As a form of participation in preventing the spread of COVID-19, community service activities were carried out to increase public awareness during the pandemic about the importance of vaccination programs in preventing transmission and implementing health protocols and healthy lifestyles. Activities are packaged in the form of counseling and education through distributing brochures, masks, hand sanitizers to residents' homes with the help of several students. The target location is Jalan Haji Ridan RT01/RW01, Poris Plawad Indah Village, Cipondoh District, Tangerang City, Banten Province. From the Budi Luhur University campus, it is approximately 15-20 kilometers. The schedule of activities starts from June 24 to August 1, 2021. The method of implementing this community service activity applies the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) method, by filling out a questionnaire to get an assessment from the community of the activity implementers. The result of the assessment from the eyes of the community is 73 out of 100. This means that this activity is quite well received. During this pandemic period, it is possible to carry out community service without gathering residents and continuing to carry out health protocols, and can even play an active role in preventing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: May 2022

In today's world the number of the vehicle gets rapidly increasing along with it the price of the fuel(petrol & diesel) are also increasing due to this many types of crime related to fuel (like fuel stealing, fuel tampering) occurs in our country, But now a day's the fuel tampering becomes a major problem. Most of the workers of petrol pumps cheated consumers by showing them the wrong figure of fuel which filled into the tank, Also some fuel pump owners fix a chip inside the fuel machine and by using it they change the original value of fuel and like this, they cheated with the consumer. To overcome this issue we have designed an IoT-based system that will show the accurate value of petrol and its cost (which filled into the fuel tank) on a custom-designed Android app. This app also has an auto-update price feature so whenever we fill the fuel, then it will show its cost based on the price/rate of the petrol that day.
Application of Bamboo Treatment for the Construction of Shelter Houses
Authors: Chakraborty Prantik
Published: May 2022

Over the previous few decades, several investigations on various aspects of bamboo's structural use have been conducted. Some of these led to the development of various preservation methods to prevent the bamboo from bio deterioration and so improve its use, particularly in shelter housing. As a result, a variety of bamboo building materials have been developed. However, considerable research shortages exist in areas such as bamboo treatment methods and shelter construction styles. There has been a demand for a simple building standard for a long time. These concepts must be demonstrated before the full potential of bamboo as a building material can be realized. As a result, more research into bamboo treatment methods and shelter house construction patterns is required.
Dimensions of Intertextuality in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God
Authors: Bula Andrew
Published: May 2022

The readings on Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God are, for the most part, steeped in Igbo culture and cosmology as well as the deployment of language in the texts. None, consequently, has taken up the question of examining both texts by means of Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality. This research report occupies that critical void. Concretely, it utilizes select dimensions of Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality in investigating Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God. This is in order to understand what the characters are saying and what the narrator is saying, the role played by culture in these discourses, and whether the theory’s select dimensions apply to Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God. Ultimately, it is uncovered that indeed intertextuality is applicable to and exists in Things Fall Apart and Arrow of God by means of the various dimensions of the theory. By Kristeva’s account, these dimensions are the intersecting of citation and narration within the novel, dyadic figuration and arbitrary termination, the relationship between the literary text and the text of culture, the figure of double destinations, the horizontal dimension of the function of the symbol, the non-conformity between a named object and its name within the Symbol as Ideologeme, and the relationship between individual texts (books).

Authors: Martin Inacio Malmonge
Published: May 2022

In the months of December 2021 to March 2022 the ITA group of research (ATMOSRAD)* have made the monitoring of rainfall and low energy gamma rays in São José dos Campos, Brazil region. A sodium iodide NaI (Tl) (3” x 3”) scintillator was used, coupled to a photomultiplier (PM) and associated electronics. All of these instruments are capable of measuring ionizing radiation between 200 keV and 10.0 MeV. It can be seen from the measurements made by the scintillator that the detected radiation is related to the intensity of rainfall at the same time of the observations.

Authors: Garg Kamakshi , Namrata  , Garg Rajeev , Dhanota Devinderpal Singh , Singla Nitika , DA Pratibha , Saggar Kavita
Published: May 2022

Background: The study is to correlate Chest X-ray scoring with the laboratory markers and to determine the oxygen requirement in COVID-19 patients. Methodology: We conducted a retrospective study in COVID confirmed patients in the age group of 18 to 80 years admitted in our health care system. At the time of admission within 24 hours, chest X-ray and blood investigations like complete blood count, C-reactive protein, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), d-dimers, serum ferritin were performed in all the patients. Patients data including his oxygen requirement was collected by electronic medical records. Brixia scoring system was employed to account for the extent and density of airspace opacification. The scoring of the Chest X-ray was correlated to the various blood test. Result: One hundred nine COVID confirmed cases were included in our study. There was a statistically significant correlation between Chest X-ray and age with p = 0.008; chest X-ray and d-dimers with p=0.004. Also patients requiring high oxygen therapy had significantly higher chest X-ray scores (p=0.001) Conclusion: Patient having increased oxygen requirement were found to have higher N/L Ratio, D-dimer and LDH values. Chest X-ray scoring is highly correlated with laboratory findings and disease severity and might be beneficial to speed up the diagnostic workflow in symptomatic patients.
Privatization of SOEs a Shift from Protectionism and a Factor of Economic Growth
Authors:   Lecturer, School of Postgraduate Studies, Ernest Bai Koroma University of Science and Technology, Magburaka, Sierra Leone, Davies Dr. Joseph
Published: May 2022

In the framework of economic development, we argue that privatization of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) is unarguably one of the gateways to succeeding in economic growth. It provides the basis for perfect market competition, promoting employment, reducing government expenditure burden on its budget, promoting employment growth and provides efficient services, boost innovation and the technological revolution of especially developing countries which is an undisputable evidence for economic growth seen for example in Asia and China to be specific. China and a good number of countries with perfect market structures, early economic successes can be largely accredited to privatization of their underperforming SOEs model of promoting economic growth. In this article, we will attempt to draw the attention of readers on the conjectural background of privatization of SOEs, its effects in promoting economic growth and strategies of its implementation drawing from the experiences of other countries. We used descriptive analysis approach to describe the facts and effects about the significance of privatization of SOEs in economies that are opening up or still moving up the economic development ladder. The paper also draws lessons from developed economies like the US where privatization is a symbol of a capitalist and free market society, although focusing on developing countries with specific reference to Sierra Leone, bench marking the case of China. We discovered that privatization helps government save more and improve efficiency largely through competition that motivates development as well as innovation.

Surgical intervention in aggressive ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum
Authors: Maham Mudassir  , Rabia Ali  , Sikandar Saeed  , Ali Rafique Mirza
Published: May 2022

Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, debilitating, and painful disease of the skin. Its aetiology and pathophysiology are not well understood. However, it is known that PG is not bacterial in origin, as previously believed. A significant number of cases of PG report a phenomenon called pathergy, which is characterized by the appearance of new lesions after the application of trauma to the skin. This represents a unique challenge for surgeons in cases that are refractory to medical therapy. The objective of this study is to review past literature and report a case of PG in a 19-year old woman, who presented with recurrence, after undergoing skin grafting one year back. The patient was referred for split thickness skin grafting (STSG) to reduce the psychological and physical morbidity as a result of this disease.

Severe mixed mitral valve disease due to massive mitral annular calcification — a case report and literature review
Authors: Fateh Ali Tipoo Sultan  , Sheema Saadia
Published: May 2022

We present an unusual case of massive mitral annular calcification (MAC) leading to severe mixed mitral valve disease viz: severe mitral regurgitation and severe mitral stenosis. To our knowledge severe mixed mitral valve disease secondary to MAC is extremely rare. The patient presented with worsening shortness of breath and signs of congestive heart failure. Echocardiographic examination revealed massive mitral annular calcification. Despite the massive annular calcification, she had experienced neither embolism nor endocarditis in the past. Because of severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation and mitral stenosis, surgery was advised, however the patient declined.

Role of Rituximab in miraculous cessation of ventricular tachycardia in Granulomatosis with polyangiitis: a case report
Authors: Sultan Nadia , Mushtaq Fahad , Noor Natasha , Ullah Zafar , Saleem Asad Ali
Published: May 2022

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare systemic disorder of unknown aetiology. The histological findings comprise necrotising granulomatous inflammation of small arteries, arterioles, and the capillaries mainly of upper and lower respiratory tract and the kidneys. However, the disease rarely involves the cardiovascular system but may manifest as pericarditis, myocarditis, coronary arteritis, valvular lesions, and severe conduction disorders. We present an interesting, unusual, and complex case of a middle-aged man who initially presented with symptoms suggestive of Wagener’s granulomatosis but two years later developed malignant ventricular arrhythmias. A diagnosis of exclusive involvement of the cardiac conduction system, without overt myocarditis, was made only after ruling it out by cardiac MRI, cardiac enzymes, echo, and normal serological markers. Evidence was paired with the cessation of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia due to induction therapy with Rituximab. In this case report, we highlight one of the rarest manifestations of GPA, i.e. Ventricular tachycardia

Published: May 2022

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare and serious COVID 19 manifestation characterized by generalized inflammatory response including inflammation of heart, blood vessels, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes and gastrointestinal system. Children usually present with fever lasting for 24 hours or more along with other symptoms like abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, red eyes and swelling of the lips, tongue, hands and feet. The children with MIS-C usually have negative results for a current infection with the COVID-19 but positive antibody results indicating these children were infected with the COVID-19 virus in the past.
We present 12 months old girl with multisystem inflammatory syndrome presenting as systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SOJIA) and positive COVID-19 PCR, she was treated successfully with dexamethasone and naproxen.

Ruptured splenic abscess: a rare case entity
Authors: Ayra Suleman  , Muhammad Zeeshan Sarwar  , Yasin Rafi  , Syed Asghar Naqi
Published: May 2022

Ruptured splenic abscess has been reported as a rare clinical entity in literature. We present the case of a middle aged female with peritonitis due to a ruptured splenic abscess. Emergency splenectomy was done and broad spectrum antibiotic was given postoperatively. However, the patient could not survive and died on the 4th postoperative day. We propose that a ruptured splenic abscess should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of peritonitis, especially in an immunocompromised individual.
Key Words: splenic abscess, immunocompromised, splenectomy.

Most commonly prescribed blood pressure lowering drug linked with increased risk of skin cancer.
Authors: Alam Rehmani Soha , Alam Rehmani Maha , Shoaib Navaira
Published: May 2022

To the Editor,
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is the most commonly prescribed antihypertensive drug that belongs to a diuretic class.1 It mainly works by increasing the removal of excess water and salts from the body into the urine and by this function it is most widely used alone or in combination with other medications to treat patients with uncontrolled blood pressure and edema that results from numerous medical conditions like heart, Liver and kidney diseases. It also helps treat other ailments like diabetes insipidus, renal tubular acidosis and reduce the risk of kidney stones in patients with high calcium levels in urine.
Despite its various uses and benefits, HCTZ comes with a heavy price of undesirable side effects like fatigue, lethargy, gastrointestinal discomfort and is known to cause hyperuricemia and hypokalemia associated with increased blood glucose.2 Furthermore, HCTZ increases the skin sensitivity to sunlight. However, recent research has revealed a more worrisome side effect of HCTZ that needs to be highlighted.
In 2017, a nationwide study conducted in Denmark involving more than 70,000 patients with Basal cell carcinoma and 8000 patients with squamous cell carcinoma found a considerably increased risk of developing Non melanoma skin cancer, particularly among the users of HCTZ.3 A recent study also substantiated that a total of 135 squamous cell carcinoma events per 100,000 person years were reported in new users of HCTZ.4
These alarming figures raise a question mark on the safety of HCTZ use. Moreover, HCTZ is now classified as a carcinogenic agent for humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also permitted changes to the HCTZ drug label to warn the health care workers and patients of the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. 5, 6
Unfortunately in Pakistan, HCTZ is still heavily used as a diuretic and people are not much aware of this new fact. In view of these findings and the fact that HCTZ is among the most generally prescribed drugs in Pakistan, its potential indication of causing skin cancer would impose a serious public health concern so the responsibility lies on the cardiologists, nephrologists and other medical physicians to be aware of this possible hazardous outcome of HCTZ use and should be cautious while prescribing it to patients who are at risk of developing skin cancer or who have had a history of skin cancer.
