Langston Hughes and Dream Deferral
Authors: Gilyard Keith
Published: September 2022

“Langston Hughes and Dream Deferral” examines the protests over George Floyd’s murder through the lens of Langston Hughes’s famous motif of dream deferral. Keith Gilyard argues that Hughes’s primary concern as a poet was illuminating the process by which black people’s dreams have been deferred throughout American history. However, much of the essay focuses on conflicting viewpoints on black resistance in the post-civil rights era. Gilyard shows how Hughes speaks to contemporary issues, interweaving between the poet’s commentaries on politics and the controversies over the use of violence during the protests.

Published: September 2022

Background: Depression and anxiety are among the most comorbid disorders in End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Most of the scales currently in use for screening of anxiety and depression are translated into Urdu language from English. Aga khan university anxiety and depression scales (AKUADS) ,a scale developed in Urdu language contains items that assess for psychological as well as somatic symptoms of anxiety and depression. The aim of the current study was to compare the AKUADS with two other commonly used scales for the detection of anxiety and depression in ESRD patients Materials and methods: Current inpatients at Nephrology unit, Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore who were on dialysis were invited to take part in the study. Patients who provided informed written consent were administered three psychiatric rating scales: AKUADS, patient health questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) for assessment of depression and General anxiety disorder 7 (GAD-7) for assessment of anxiety. Results: AKUADS was strongly related to both GAD-7 and PHQ-9. The prevalence rate of depression in our patients was 36.4% (Mild depression) as assessed by PHQ-9 and of anxiety was 24.6% as assessed by GAD-7. The prevalence of anxiety and depression as assessed by AKUADS was 33%. Female participants were significantly more likely to have higher scores on all the three scales as compared to male patients Conclusions: AKUADS can be used for the screening of anxiety and depressive disorders in the local population and is well correlated with other more widely used and well validated psychiatric rating scales.

Published: September 2022

Background: Neurological disorders are one of the most noticeable causes of morbidity and mortality that have a negative impact on patient’s lifestyle. A significant rate of these diseases exists in developing populations. However, there is lack and shortage of literature on neurological illnesses in Pakistan. This study was therefore carried out to determine the pattern of neurological diseases in this setting which can also provide a benchmark for planning and care for neurological illnesses at tertiary care level. Methodology: This is a Descriptive cross-sectional review conducted at the neurology outpatient clinic of the Lahore General Hospital, Lahore over the duration of 9 months between April, 2021 and December, 2021. Data was gathered through a predesigned questionnaire from the patients which included data regarding gender, age, marital status, occupation, residential status and affected disease. Results: Among all patients (140) who visited the neurology clinic over this duration, the most frequent neurological disorder was migraine (40%), followed by stroke (25%) and seizures (20%). The major age group that visited the neurology clinics was between 51 and 60 years (30%) and among them, most were males (60%). Conclusion: Stroke, migraine, and Parkinson's disease were the most common neurological disorders among participants of present study. Neurological diseases outnumber other diseases in Pakistan, affecting all age groups and genders. Headache, migraine, stroke, and seizure were found to be more common than AD and other dementias in Western countries and as significant reasons of morbidity. Keywords: Neurological disorders, neurology clinic, outpatients

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD), being a psychiatric condition, is defined as mood swing that alternates between mania, hypomania, and depression. Studies have been conducted globally to assess lipid profile for bipolar disorder with varying results. No such studies have been conducted in Pakistan. Therefore, present study was designed to assess total cholesterol and triglycerides in clinically diagnosed bipolar disorder. Materials and methods: One hundred and twelve blood samples were collected of diagnosed bipolar patients visiting Sheikh Zayd Hospital (SZH) and Punjab Institute of Mental Health (PIMH) Lahore. Total Cholesterol (TC) and Triglycerides (TG), were estimated using standard biochemical methods Results: Results obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS. A total of 112 bipolar patients, 48 (58.5%) were manic, 26 (31.7%) were depressive, 8 (9.8%) were euthymic. The mean Cholesterol level (191.01±40.67 mg/dl),in bipolar group ( manic, depressive and euthymic) were statistically significant as compared to control group with p-value 0.026. The mean TG level (163.01±89.08 mg/dl), in bipolar and control groups were statistically insignificant with p-value 0.609. Conclusions: The present study suggests that TC level is raised in depressive patients. TG levels were same in bipolar and control groups.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To assess the rationale for bone marrow biopsy/aspiration as a part of a routine systemic workup in advanced intraocular retinoblastoma (RB) in relation to high-risk histopathological post-enucleation features. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology of the Children’s Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Data regarding demographics, clinical presentations, staging workup, and treatment strategies of all the newly diagnosed retinoblastoma cases registered at our centre from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS statistics version 22. Results: Of the 61 patients, 41 (67%) showed unilateral disease, while bilateral and trilateral involvement was found in 17 (28%) and three (5%) cases, respectively. The mean age of presentation in our cohort was 25 months (median: 24 months; range: <1–72 months). Amongst 81 eyes (61 patients), tumours were limited to an intraocular location in 54 eyes (46 patients). In this group, 42 eyes (38 patients) underwent enucleation. Adverse histopathology was found only in nine (23.68%) patients. None of the patients with the intraocular disease, with or without adverse histopathological features in enucleated eyes, were found to have bone marrow (BM) involvement. For 15 patients with extraocular disease, five (33%) patients were found to have bone marrow involvement based on initial investigations. Conclusion: Our study did not show any correlation between bone marrow positivity and advanced intraocular groups D/E RB. Therefore, BM evaluation can be avoided in this subset of patients with retinoblastoma at presentation, while stage III and IV patients (International Retinoblastoma Staging System IRSS) must be evaluated for metastasis. This will reduce the risks of biopsy to the patients and the burden on services. Keywords: Retinoblastoma, Bone Marrow Involvement, Intraocular disease.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To early diagnose the patients of AMI by using cardiac markers like CK, CK-MB, to find out the significance of these enzymes in comparison with high sensitive Troponin T hs and to find out the presence of a micro-infarction by using newly developed cTnT hs method. Patients and Methods: This was a cross sectional study, conducted at Punjab Institute of Cardiology and included 545 patients. Blood sample of every patient “Suspected of AMI” was sent to the laboratory for estimation of CK, CK-MB by conventional kit method and a high sensitive Troponin T reagent kit was used for prompt diagnosis of AMI. Patients of varying age were included and demographic details like hypertension, diabetes and smoking, family history of IHD, were collected to find out association with AMI. Results: Out of 545 study participants 62.65% (n=341) were male and 37.43% (n=204) were females, the mean age was 54.8 ± 13.42 years, the most frequent risk factor seen was hypertension (HTN in 72.0 % (n=90), followed by Smoking 45.5% (n=90), Diabetes mellitus (DM) 43.3% (n=90), and frequency of family history was seen 18.8% (n=90) in patients positive for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). 78.8% (n=90) males and 21.2%(n=90) females, indicated more prevalence of AMI in male population with frequency of AMI in patients from 41-60 years of age. There was significant association between hypertension, smoking and diabetes with AMI. Family history was not significantly associated with the incidence of AMI. CPK, CK-MB were performed on patient’s serum sample according to the procedures determined by reagent kits of Roche Diagnostic company on Chemistry Analyzer Hitachi 912. Optimized UV test method was used according to DGKC (German Society of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) and IFCC. Special Chemistry analyzer Cobas e 411, automated instrument was used for the quantitative measurement of Troponin T by using Chemiluminescence method (Troponin T hs reagent kits of Roche Diagnostic Company). Conclusion: It was concluded that a direct relationship exists between Troponin T and CPK, and CK-MB was more specific with even more closer and linear relationship with Troponin T hs. It was further observed that high sensitive Troponin T reagent method alone was sufficient to make a final diagnosis of AMI. Troponin T hs alone not only reduces the investigation time but reduces the overall cost as well. Keywords: Acute Myocardial Infarction.

A Private Anatomical Atlas?
Authors: Huisman Tim
Published: September 2022

The recently rediscovered volumes of myological illustrations by artist Martin Sagemolen after preparations by the anatomist Johannes van Horne enjoyed something of a reputation directly after they were made. Visitors to Van Horne’s private quarters, who saw the drawings were impressed by the quality of the work. Later Herman Boerhaave acquired the manuscript for his library and at the auction of Boerhaave’s belongings after his death it was among the highest priced items, valued at 390 guilders. The rediscovery of this early modern anatomical project in the collection of the BIUSanté enables us to put forward various questions. The questions I will concern myself with in this study have to do with the function of the manuscript in the professional activities of Johannes van Horne, and with the intentions with which both the artist and the scientist undertook this project.
Johannes van Horne can be counted among the more progressive medical scientists of the later 17th century. As a student at Leiden and Utrecht successively he was associated with Johannes Walaeus - one of the earliest defenders of Harvey’s theory in the Dutch Republic - and with Johannes Regius, an early follower of Descartes at Utrecht University. As a professor of anatomy in Leiden Van Horne belonged to the progressive faction at the medical faculty, together with his more famous colleague Franciscus Sylvius. Van Horne’s (small) output can be divided into didactic works, a manual on anatomy and a manual on surgery, and experimental projects: a study on the chylous duct and a study on the female reproductive organs. The latter in co-operation with his brilliant student Johannes Swammerdam. Both qualities - the didactic and the experimental - we can find in his private scientific collection, which contained anatomical preparations, anatomical models - and an anatomical atlas.
Van Horne’s collection functioned as an asset for his privatissima. These private lectures were a way for a professor to make money on top of his usual wages, as students had to pay a fee to attend. For the students these private lectures and - demonstrations were essential to get in touch with the particular insights and originality of their professors. I argue that the anatomical illustrations made by Sagemolen for Van Horne must be seen in this context. Van Horne used them in his privatissima and probably had no intention of publishing them, although the artist Sagemolen may have had other plans. Specifically the use of colour in the illustrations - a conspicuous feature - made them very suitable as didactic material, but at the same time makes it improbable that they were immediately intended to be published in printed form.

Published: September 2022

Целью работы являлось выяснение возможности определения левотироксина в представленном нанопрепарате спектрофотометрическим методом. В качестве растворителя использовали 10%-ный раствор NaOH. Щелочной раствор нанопрепарата нагревали на водяной бане, фильтровали и охлаждали. Спектрофотометрическое определение проводили с использованием спектрофотометра «Agilent Technologies Cаry 60 UV-Vis». Установлено, что максимум поглощения левотироксина в растворах (стандартный образец и нанопрепарат) наблюдается при длине волны 330 нм. Выявлено, что левотироксин из нанопрепарата в раствор переходит в малых количествах 13%. Наличие лево-изомеров в растворах подтверждено поляриметрическим методом. Предложенный спектрофотометрический метод подтверждает наличие левотироксина в нанопрепарате, но его переход в раствор щелочи происходит медленно.

The aim of the work was to elucidate the possibility of determining levothyroxine in the presented nanopreparation by the spectrophotometric method. A 10% NaOH solution was used as a solvent. An alkaline solution of the nanopreparation was heated on a water bath, filtered, and cooled. Spectrophotometric determination was carried out using an Agilent Technologies Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It has been established that the maximum absorption of levothyroxine in solutions (standard sample and nanopreparation) is observed at a wavelength of 330 nm. It was revealed that levothyroxine passes from the nanopreparation into the solution in small amounts 13%. The presence of levo-isomers in solutions was confirmed by the polarimetric method. The proposed spectrophotometric method confirms the presence of levothyroxine in the nanopreparation, but its transition into the alkali solution is slow.

The infestation of sheep with Eimeria, strongyloid and eimeriastrongyloid invasions depends on the age and season of the year.
Studying of The Qur'an Annisa' Verse 3 Regarding The Phenomenon Of Paid Polygamy Mentoring
Authors: Hayati Irma Nur Hayati , Zenrif Fauzan Zenrif
Published: September 2022

Abstract:

This paper tries to reveal another side of the phenomenon of violence against women which is currently viral on social media. It is related to the case of paid polygamy mentoring which is not in accordance with Islamic law and the conditions of Indonesian society in particular. The glorification of women's violence is a frightening threat to marriages that can start with polygamy. In the sense of violence, Polygamy has implication for the concept of gender, both in terms of gender, physical, sexuality, and psychological differences.In fact, the scholars explained in the Qur'an, namely, "Shalihun likulli zammani wa makkani." It means that the Qur'an emphasizes that women's justice in marriage is appreciated contextually, namely monogamy. The aim of this paper is analyzing of the Qur'an on Annisa’ Verse 3 on women’s violence glorification in paid polygamy mentoring campaigns. It is used the Maudhu'i interpretation method. Thus, there is an effort to reform the style (uslub) of Islamic da'wah without the need to explore the law in length and width which has implications on the grammatical side, which is also able to prevent the emergence of ideological contradictions of contemporary thought.In conclusion, polygamy may be carried out as long as it is carried out with the correct Shari'ah and Islamic law and is not due to customary factors, or local environmental traditions, and does not burden one party.

Published: September 2022

Women Entrepreneurship in Pakistan; Motivations, Success and Barriers a study on Sindh, Pakistan. An entrepreneur is someone who explores new opportunities, business, products/ services, or ideas (Kuratko 2016). During the early 1980s, the Women Entrepreneurship has elicited suitable recognition, especially as a driver of economic growth and development. According to Roomi and Parrott (2008), the women position throughout Pakistan is not homogenous. Cultural practices and norms related to role and status of women and religious prescriptions vary widely in the Pakistani society. Pakistani researchers have also critically examined existing literature on women entrepreneurship in Pakistan. Primary focus of this research study is about the very less work or no research evidence found in the province of Sindh, Pakistan on women entrepreneurship (Ashique, Najia, Ali, and Rajjar, 2012; Saad and Rajjar 2015). The data in this study is Primary, and involve gathering of research figures straight from the respondents using a structured 5-point Likert scale with the help of questionnaire based on women entrepreneurship. The population of the study consist of female entrepreneurs running businesses or involved in entrepreneurial activities from both urban and rural areas of Sindh. In this study, to ensure an adequate sample, data is collected from 150 respondents (female entrepreneurs). Regression method was used to analyze the data. This analysis is performed with the help of SPSS software. The current study uses the dependence model for testing the data because each hypothesis measures the impact of one independent variable on three dependent variables that is motivation, success and barriers women entrepreneurs face while becoming entrepreneurs. Result of this study suggests that 71% of the female are of age group 15-25 years, are energetic and most willing to start their own business, among all motivational factors including to be their own boss is having strongly positive impact to peruse entrepreneurship rather than regular job, among all success factors female entrepreneurs believed that having good managerial skills lead to successful business. Week economy and lack of laws regulations in the country is causing a huge barrier to begin their own business according to the responses of entrepreneurs belonging to female group.  Furthermore, the study suggests that Government of Pakistan should propose business laws and ensure its practice in the small and medium size enterprises. Also, there are many programs offered by the Pakistani Government to promote entrepreneurship but female and nascent entrepreneurs are not aware of these programs at large. So, these programs should be introduced in all educational institutes and universities so that female entrepreneurs should get most of it.

Lymphatic filariasis, a group of parasitic infections which can lead to disfigurement, disability and chronic pain. It causes social stigma which adversely affects their social and economic life. For elimination of LF, mass drugs administration is being implemented since 2004 in Odisha. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Baragarh district in the month of April 2021. Data regarding MDA was collected from 300 (200 rural and 100 urban) households (HHs) in a pre-designed, pretested questionnaire. A total of 300 households were covered in the post MDA survey of Bargarh with 1412 individuals. Of them, 1367 (96.8%) were found to be eligible. Of those who received the drugs, compliance was 94.1%. Overall effective coverage of MDA was 82%. But the difference in compliance among the three studied clusters was not found to be significant. In all the age groups only 25% of the eligible persons had consumed the drugs in front of the DD (Effective Supervised coverage). Though the coverage and compliance were found to be better, the effective supervised coverage of MDA is still low.

Deficiencies of Selenium (Se) is correlated with the risk and onset of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). The aim of this study was to determine the association between Se supplementation and AITD. Methods: Electronic data searches of 4 databases were performed. We assessed the included studies using PRISMA for protocol assurance. Five studies met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The predictor covariate in the present study was Se administration. The outcome measures were levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab), thyroglobulin antibody (Tg-Ab), free thyroxine (fT4), and thyroid volume. Results: Of the five studies that met the inclusion criteria, one randomized controlled trial (RCT) was included in the qualitative review, whereas four quasi-experimental studies were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that Se supplementation significantly reduced TPO-Ab levels (MD 90.85; 95% CI 61.71–120.00; p<0.00001) and fT4 levels (MD 1.52; 95% CI, 0.55–2.50; p=0.002), while the RCT showed that Se supplementation significantly reduced Tg-Ab levels. Conclusions: Se supplementation significantly reduces TPO-Ab and fT4 levels in children and adolescents with AITD. The limited number of studies and population sizes emergence of further studies especially RCTS are needed to make a better meta-analysis

Authors: Hussein Fouad M. , Ismail Ali S.
Published: September 2022

Sustainable polymers have enough potential to overcome petroleum materials and not completely rely on them for the presence of renewable raw materials, as well as the possibility of developing polymerization methods for renewable raw materials to have these materials recyclability, biodegradability and being a non-toxic material. This has been the focus of recent years. Solvent-free emulsion copolymerization of β-myrcene, a naturally occurring monoterpene monomer, the co-monomers that were used with β-myrcene, tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, iso-bornyl methacrylate, and tert-butyl methacrylate, and each methacrylate monomer was polymerized separately with β-myrcene monomer, β-myrcene –methacrylate monomer (MY/MA) copolymers of different compositions were synthesized under nitrogen atmosphere at 60 ºC, using copolymers composition 50/50 comonomer reactivity ratios, and  has been added sodium dodecyl sulfate as emulsifier, and ammonium persulfate as initiator. 1H-NMR, 13CNMR and FTIR spectroscopy were used to confirm the chemical structure and composition. It was found that the copolymerization reaction of each copolymer is influenced with the form of the methacrylate(s) side chain. Furthermore, the thermal properties of copolymers were characterized by DSC and TGA, where the value Tg indicate that random composition copolymers, due to the difference in crystallization of each side chain.

Introduction. The electronic medical portfolio is part of the formative evaluation that allows the educator to adapt their didactic process to the needs of their students. It also promotes effective formative feedback that helps create horizontal relationships between educators and students. The aim of this review was to describe the use of medical portfolios and their impact on medical training. Methods. A review of the literature in PubMed and Scielo was carried out, including articles and studies on the topic, published in English and Spanish, ranging from 2012 to 2022. Discussion. Medical Education in Latin America, especially in Honduras, relies heavily on summative assessment as a prevalent evaluation method. In countries like the United States and some in Europe where the student portfolio is used, it has thrived and been accepted by both educators and students, generating a positive impact on their learning. Conclusion. The implementation of the medical portfolio in Honduras is a viable and an appropriate process that will allow the pre-existing traditional academic culture to be innovated. Its multiple advantages such as encouraging a complete evaluation through feedback from superiors and peers, in addition to ongoing training and improvement of the student's practical skills, place it as an essential tool for medical education.
