Background: The histological pattern and frequency of glomerular diseases differs according to the geographic area, race, age and indications for renal biopsy. This study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of different histological patterns of glomerulonephritis during a 10 years period at our institute. Study Design: Retrospective Case series. Period: 1st January 2007 to 31st, December 2017. Study Setting: Institute of kidney diseases, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Pakistan. Results and Discussion: Clinical records of 415 native renal biopsies performed in patients with mean age 27.17 ± 14.98 years were included in this study. Males were 266 (64.1%) and females 149 (35.9%). Data was analysed for three age groups separately, Children (<18 years) 147 (35.5%), Adults (18-59 years) 253 (61.0%) and elderly (>60 years) 15 (3.6%). Primary GN (glomerulonephritis) was the most common (74.21%) followed by secondary GN (26.41%). Among primary glomerular diseases, Focal segmental glomerulonephritis (FSGS) was (29.6%), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) also known as mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis constituted 19.5% and Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) was the third most common (16.6%). Among secondary GN, acute tubular necrosis (ATN) was the most common (25.4%), followed by amyloidosis (14.7%), hypertensive nephropathy (13.7%) and lupus nephritis (12.8%) respectively. There was a slight male predominance in all types of primary GN except for focal necrotizing GN and most of the secondary types except lupus nephritis and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). Below 18 years, MPGN was (58.3%), focal necrotising GN (57.1%) and minimal change disease (MCD) was (52.2%). Crescentic GN (89.5%), MGN (74.5%), immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (72.7%), chronic sclerosing GN (CSGN) (64.7%) and FSGS (56%) were more common in adults. Frequency of immunoglobulin M (IgM) nephropathy (50%) was equal in children and adults. In elderly patients, the commonest GN reported was hypertensive nephropathy (28.6%), amyloidosis (6.7%) and MGN (5.9%). Conclusion: Among the wide variety of histological patterns, FSGS was the commonest GN in adults followed by MPGN and MGN. Among adults, primary GN was more common. When compared with other studies, FSGS is more common in the present study and some Indian studies, while membranous GN is more common in other regional countries.

Objectives: To observe the effect of lagenaria siceraria on inflammation and fibrosis brought about by arsenic in liver of Sprague Dawley rat. Study Design: Laboratory based randomized control trial. Place and Duration of Study: This experiment was performed at Department of Anatomy, Army Medical College Rawalpindi in co-operation with National Institute of Health (NIH) Islamabad for eight weeks (1st March 2017 to 25th April 2017). Material and Methods: Fifty Sprague Dawley rats (both male and females housed separately) were carefully chosen and distributed randomly into five groups, each consisting of 10 animals. A and B were the control groups whereas C, D and E served as experimental groups. During the first four weeks, experiment groups C, D and E were given a dosage of 5milligram/kilogram body weight of sodium arsenite. At the end of four weeks, animals from control group A and experimental group C were dissected and liver samples were processed for microscopic studies. In the next 4 weeks, group D animals were set aside without any further intervention. At that time, sodium arsenite at a dose of 5 milligram/kilogram body weight and lagenaria siceraria at a dose of 100 milligram/kilogram bodyweight were administered to group E animals. Group B animals served as control for experimental groups D and E. At the end of these 4 weeks animals of groups B, D and E were dissected. Liver was processed, fixed and stained for microscopic study. Area of portal triad as well as liver lobules were studied for inflammation and fibrosis and results were analysed. Statistical tool used to analyse the data was SPSS v 22. Results were considered to be significant when p-value is ≤ 0.05. Results: Experimental group C developed moderate grade fibrosis and inflammation (grade 2 to 3) as compared to group A. Degree of inflammation and fibrosis was mild to moderate (grade 1 to 2) in group D. There was no inflammation and fibrosis (Grade 0 to 1) in group E. Group B served as a control for group D and E. Conclusion: Inflammation and fibrosis developed in the liver of adult rats when they were subjected to sodium arsenite even for a brief calculated period. Simultaneous administration of lagenaria siceraria can shield and diminish the toxic effects of arsenic. Oxidative potential and immunomodulatory properties and presence of flavonoid like substances renders lagenaria siceraria to act as ameliorative against this fibrosis and inflammation in liver lobules and surrounding area of portal triads.

Setting: Out-patient Department of Naseer Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, and private clinic of the author. Period: March 2016 to January 2017. Materials and Methods: All patients with low back pain were evaluated. Inclusion criteria was; all patients with low back pain greater than 3 months duration whether operated or not, patients with non-radiating symptoms, patients with acceptable radiology (no listhesis, obvious stenosis/disk, albeit some degree of degeneration was acceptable), further helping points were morning exacerbations and elicitation of tender spot by the patient. The exclusion criteria was Low back pain with less than 3 months duration, obvious pathology on radiological examination, radiating symptoms, generalized low back pain without any point tenderness elicitation. The patients were sent home on medications and asked to avoid strenuous activity for a couple of weeks, they were followed after one month and asked about their pain satisfaction. Results: Approximately 2800 patients were evaluated for low back pain and of them 237 (8.46%) patients were upto the inclusion criteria, only 112 patients had agreed to have a TPI, which showed an acceptance rate of 47.25%. There were 65 males and 58 females, with a male to female ratio approaching almost 1:1. The age range was from 18 to 48 years, and the mean age was 32 years. The minimum duration of pain was 3 months and the maximum duration was 4 years, 4 patients had undergone back surgery. Almost all patients pointed out the pain spot, but a typical trigger point was elicited in 58(51.78%) patients, while morning exacerbation was present in 43(38.38%). Radiological examination was performed on all patients in the form of simple xrays and Magnetic resonance imaging scans, it was acceptable in 67%, as patients with radiating symptoms were already excluded. 10.71% (n=12) patients had some problems. Conclusion: In patients with chronic low back pain due to Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) eliciting the trigger points by either elaboration through history or physical examination and treating them with a TP injection with lignocaine and a steroids has good short term results.

Investigation in the Effect of Applied Voltage and Working Pressure on Some Plasma Parameters in the Positive Column of Dc Glow Discharge
Authors: Jassim Mustafa K.
Published: May 2019

Comsol multiphysics software is established to make a simulation that is comparable with experimental device. by utilizing comsol, the positive column domain of direct-current glow discharge with argon is considered for both of different applied voltage and working gas pressure. The calculations are exhibited by using a precise collision cross sections and Townsend coefficients for the argon. The impacts of voltage and pressure on the Debye length, number of particles in Debye sphere and plasma frequency are calculated and graphically delineated. With this regard to the dependence of plasma parameters on the applied voltage and pressure, some of them are found to be compatible with the experimental results, while others are not. For example, the calculations of the COMSOL shows that the electron temperature is not always decreasing with the increase in the applied voltage, and the Debye length does not give a linearly decreasing relationship but rather an exponentially decreasing relationship. Also, the calculations do not reproduce and match the experimental results for the dependence electron density on working pressure at various potentials.

Published: May 2019

Chronic renal disease (CRD) is a pathophysiologic process with multiple etiologies, resulting in the inexorable attrition of Nephron number and function and frequently leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In turn, ESRD represents a clinical state or condition in which there has been an irreversible loss of endogenous renal function, of a degree sufficient to render the patient permanently dependent upon renal replacement therapy (dialysis of transplantation) in order to avoid life threatening uremia, reflecting a dysfunction of all organ systems as a result of untreated or under treated acute or chronic renal failure. The current study was involved 80 patients, the age range within 25-70 years, selected sample of patients who attend Iraqi center of kidney dialysis, Baghdad Teaching Hospital and Al-Yarmok Teaching Hospital. All the patient's body mass index [BMI] were measured serum anti diuretic hormone ADH was assessed using enzyme linked immunosorbent kit [Elisa] while urea, creatinine, albumin, hemoglobin were determined by spectrophotometer (PD-303), and sodium, potassium, chloride were determined by Electrolyte analyzer 9180.These patients were divided in two group B (40 patients) as pre dialysis with ESRD,  and group A (40) healthy control. Results showed non-significant elevations in ADH levels in the patient group compared with the control group, while highly significant increase in urea, creatinine and albumin levels in in the patient group compared with the control group, also highly significant decrease in hemoglobin comparing with the control group. Also, it was observed non-significant decrease in sodium, non-significant increase in potassium and highly significant increase in chloride when comparing with the control group.

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF VOIDED NORMAL AND HIGH STRENGTH REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS
Authors: Nimnim Hayder , Zain Alabdeen Zahraa
Published: May 2019

The intent of this paper is to study the structural behavior of voided normal and high strength reinforced concrete two-way slabs. Voided slab is a hollow core slab which has an advantage of reducing self-weight by reducing concrete mass within the center zone of the slab section. The experimental program included testing of twelve simply supported slab specimens with dimensions of (1100 x 1100 x 100) mm, and they were subjected to vertical four patch loads. Many parameters were included, such as shape of voids (spherical and cubic), type of concrete strength (normal of 30 MPa strength and high of 60 MPa strength), and ratio of steel reinforcement (0.002, 0.0026). In addition, they have different values of dimension of void to slab thickness (D/H) ratio (0.5, 0.6 and 0.65). The experimental results showed that the use of voided slabs tends to save in self-weight up to 21.6%. The use of spherical voids in voided slabs is more effective than cubic voids due to cracking and ultimate loads capacity and the structural behavior. The use of voided slabs led to reducing the first cracking load in a range of 15%-62% and 5%-40% for high and normal strength, respectively. Also, using voided slabs tended to reduce the ultimate load capacity in a range of 8%-26% for balls and 9%-48% for cubes. Using high strength concrete in voided slabs led to reducing the crack width in a range of 18.2%-27.8% for voided slabs (65 mm ball shapes). Decreasing the size of voids led to reducing the deflection for the same stages of load in a range of 20%-35.7% for high strength voided slab (ρ= 0.20% ball shapes) specimens. Increasing the reinforcement ratio from 0.2% to 0.26% led to reducing the deflection in a range of 1.6%-35.9% for high strength voided slab (ball shapes D=60mm) specimens.
BUILDING MODEL TO PREDICT LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY USING MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION TECHNIQUE FOR "FORMWORK CONCRETE COLUMNS"
Authors: Yasser S. Nassar Yasser S. Nassar , Khaleel Tareq
Published: May 2019

The productivity rate is the main indicator for the development of construction projects for any developed country. The main goal of this paper is to evolve a mathematical model by using the multiple linear regression technique to predict the rate of production of concrete column molds. This is because the currently used methods in estimating productivity, such as the methods that rely on personal experience and old data, are traditional methods characterized by inaccuracy. So, there was a need to adopt new techniques to estimate the construction productivity in an accurate, fast, and easy way. In this study, eleven factors were identified which are the most affecting factors on construction productivity. They are considered independent variables that affect the productivity rate of the item column formworks. The dependent variable is the construction productivity. The work measurement form was designed for the purpose of collecting real initial data from the site. This model is based on 36 samples of data collected from various projects of Multi-story buildings for residential and commercial buildings, which are used to build the model and verify its performance. From the results of the multiple linear regression MLR results, an equation was derived to calculate the construction productivity of the column formworks. It was found that the multi-linear regression model provides a very good predictability of productivity (82.31%), and the correlation coefficient (R%) was 97.15%. The results showed that the relationship between the independent variables for "the built-in model is very good, and the values"​​calculated from the prediction model are commensurate with actual data".

Published: May 2019

This work contributes two novel modified Taguchi techniques to the optimal parametric setting for minimum water absorption in epoxy composites. Taguchi method, using ASTM standards was applied with factors (initial weight, final weight, length, sample thickness and time of immersion) and four levels in the experimental design. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) evaluates the significance and individual contributions of the parameters. The optimal parametric setting was A1B4C3D4E1 (initial weight, 2.61 g; final weight, 2.69 g; length, 62.73 mm; thickness, 3.88 mm; time, 15.65 hrs). The ANOVA identifies time and length as dominant parameters (98.98 and 1.02 % contributions, respectively). Taguchi-Pareto analysis found only factor-level from the time and length parameters economical to optimality. The Taguchi-ABC analysis revealed the individual weights and contributions of the factor-level irrespective of its initial groupings. The new Taguchi techniques highlighted the importance of time and length of sample in obtaining minimum water absorption of composites.

Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah melalaui questionnaire dan sebagai responden adalah seluruh konsumen yang aktif pada Yamaha Vixion Club (YVC) Chapter Bangkinang sebanyak 30 orang. Analisis data menggunakan metode deskriptif dan kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Kano. Penelitian ini menggunakan variabel kepuasan konsumen dengan 5 dimensi yaitu, kualitas produk, harga, kualitas jasa, emosional serta biaya atau kemudahan. Berdasarkan tanggapan responden bahwa kualitas produk memiliki fungsi linear dengan tingkat kepuasan konsumen. Berbeda dengan harga, bahwa konsumen menjadi tidak puas dengan penetapan harga yang rendah,  namun apabila penetapan harga ditingkatkan tidak pula dapat menyebabkan kepuasan konsumen meningkat. Sementara kualitas jasa dan emosional adalah dimensi kepuasan konsumen kejutan (attracive). Artinya, kualitas jasa dan emosional sangat menyenangkan hati konsumen. Karena dianggap sebagai value added atau bonus, sehingga rendahnya pelaksanaan kualitas jasa dan emosional tidak menyebabkan konsumen tidak puas. Sedangkan, biaya atau kemudahan merupakan dimensi yang tidak menghasilkan kepuasan maupun ketidakpuasan konsumen.
