To narrate the characteristic of life of patients having type II Diabetes mellitus (DM2) & the factors influencing it. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) who were over the age of 18 were chosen. Age, gender, profession, matrimonial status, time of type two diabetes development, other diseases, depressive status were all evaluated as factors that affect quality of life (Beck Depression Inventory). A (HRQOL) scale was utilised to assess the quality of life by using the thirty-six-item short-form survey (SF-36). Based on their SF-36 patients were separated into three groups. Results: One thousand three hundred and ninty four sample had a middle phase of 62  years. An average score of 50.1 was assigned to the global HRQOL. According to bivariate analysis, phase, matrimonial status, gender, employment, comorbidities, DM2 duration, and other diseases all had an effect on HRQOL. In the regression model (logistic), age (OR 1.04) and depression (OR 4.4) were identified as independent factors that influenced overall quality of life. Conclusion: The HRQoL of DM2 patients is lower, which is associated to a higher risk of depression. The presence of depression and advanced age have a negative impact on the patient's HRQoL.

Stroke leads to long term disability and spasticity is one of them. Neurodynamic is a movement which aimed to restore the electrical signal directed to the nerve and the spinal cord. The neural mobilization is used to restore the movement and improve elasticity of nervous system to improve the arm function and regain the motor ability in patients with stroke.  Objective: To assess the effects of neurodynamics on spasticity in upper extremities of stroke patients. Methods: It is a Randomized controlled trial. Data was collected from 46 stroke Patients. Simple Random Sampling was done and data was collected from District headquarters hospital (DHQ) Jhelum. Patients with chronic stroke, age 40-60 years, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) ≥1 to 3 and both male and female were included in this study. For 6 weeks, the experimental group received conventional therapy with neurodynamics (10 reps/ set, 1 set/ day, 3 days/week), whereas the control group received conventional treatment (12 reps/ set, 1 set/ day, 3 days/week). The MAS, Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Scale (FMUE), goniometry and Action Research Arm Test were used to examine the participants at zero, three, and six weeks (ARAT). The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to ensure that the data was normal, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 21. Results: Statistically significant improvement was found in between group analyses in MAS, FM-UE motor score and AROM as the p-value was <0.05. There was no significant difference in ARAT, FM-UE sensation, joint pain, passive joint motion, coordination and PROM as p-value was >0.05. Statistically significant improvement was found in within group analyses in MAS, FM-UE motor score, sensation, joint pain, AROM and PROM as the p-value was <0.05 except in ARAT and FM-UE coordination. Conclusion: The result shows that neurodynamic combined with conventional treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone to reduce spasticity, improve upper extremity function and AROM. The result also shows that there was significant improvement in upper extremity joint pain, sensation and PROM and no improvement occurred in coordination and fine task performance within groups. The study concludes that neurodynamic is effective for spasticity and has additional benefit in improving UE functional performance and active range of motion but the effects of neurodynamic combined with conventional treatment are no different than conventional treatment alone on passive range of motion, joint pain, coordination, fine task performance and sensation.

In places like Asia, the use of Glycated Albumin (GA) as a diabetes diagnostic marker has increased in recent years. Glucophage (GA) has been shown to be effective in the diagnosis of diabetes in asymptomatic people who have medical records and rising blood glucose levels that indicate a high risk of acquiring diabetes. Objective: To find out the impact of glycated albumin in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study included a total of 250 participants including one or even more diabetes risk factors or Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) varying from 5.6 molar ratio to 6.9 molar ratio but no symptoms of diabetes. The lab Taurus device was used to assess plasma GA using an enzymatic technique. Results: Among the patients, 20(6.9%) had HbA1c greater than 49 molar ratio. As per the outcomes, GA's diagnosed diabetic participants with a sensitivity of 73.6% (95% confidence interval: 44.4 – 92.4) and a specificity of 74.5% (95 % confidence interval: 44.4 – 92.4) at a cut-off of 15% (Area under the ROC curve: 0.79; 96%, CI: 0.79-0.99; P≤ 0.01), which corresponds to the better diagnostic performance. At different cut-offs for diabetes diagnosis, the specificity and sensitivity of GA are examined. The 14.2% cut-offs were linked with greater sensitivity (89.5%; 96%, CI: 59.2 – 89.5) and adequate specificity (63.6%; 95%, CI: 52.9 – 66.5), making it more appropriate for screening at-risk individuals. Conclusions: This research proves the clinical efficacy of GA for diabetes diagnosis participants at risk for the disease. Further investigation is required to evaluate the relative relevance of GA in relation to the other diabetes screening indicators

Seated Medicine Ball Throw (SMBT)test at 45 degrees throw angle is used to measure the Upper body power. Measurement of grip strength, is an important component in body strength evaluation and can provide us with a quick assessment of an individual’s upper limb strength. Objective To assess the relationship between handgrip strength and upper body power among physiotherapy students via Digital Handgrip Dynamometer and Seated Medicine Ball throw test respectively. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Shalamar School of Allied Health Sciences, Lahore. This study recruited 45 participants of both gender, age between 18 to 24 years. Peak grip strength of both hands was taken using digital handheld dynamometer in kg. Seated Medicine Ball Throw, also called the medicine ball chest pass was performed by the participants using 2 kg medicine ball. SPSS was used to calculate the correlation of all variables. When the ball is released at 45 degrees, this study found a high association between handgrip strength and Seated Medicine Ball throw distance. SMBT has a mean of 149.7837.14, Right Handgrip Strength has a mean of 21.26kg5.3, and Left Handgrip Strength has a mean of 20.53kg4.69. Results: Grip strength left (r=.0.899) and right (r=.871) were found to have a significant link with Seated Medicine Ball throw (SMBT) performance in Pearson product-moment analysis. The dependent variable, SMBT, and the independent variables, HGS and Height, had a strong positive linear association (r=0.908). Conclusion: A higher Handgrip strength leads to a longer Throw distance, implying that a stronger Handgrip signifies a stronger Upper body.

Published: June 2022

At a concentration of 4 g/L, an enteric polymer is utilized to target drug release in the small intestine and causes considerable toxicity in cells. Our ecology and ecosystem are also harmed by their non-biodegradable qualities. We isolated and identified polymer-degrading bacteria from industrial effluent in this work. The isolated strain's morphological, biochemical, and antibiotic sensitivities were also examined. The isolated strain was found to be gram-negative, round-shaped, and non-motile in morphological tests, while biochemical tests revealed it to be negative in starch agar and TSI but positive in methyl red, mannitol salt, Simmon citrate, urea agar, and catalase test. The isolated strain was highly resistant to ciprofloxacin and vancomycin. The isolated bacterium was identified as Acinetobacter sp. by 16S rRNA sequencing. Additionally, Acinetobacter sp. strains of Escherichia coli and Brevibacillus sp. were used separately to observe the degradation of five synthesized non-biodegradable polymers (maleic acid propane-1,2 diol glycerol co-polyester, maleic acid phthalic acid propane-1,2 diol glycerol co-polyester, maleic acid phthalic acid butan-1,4 diol glycerol co-polyester, phthalic acid succinic acid propane-1,2 diol glycerol co-polyester, and phthalic acid succinic acid buten-1,4 diol glycerol co-polyester. The capacity of all three strains to degrade the above-mentioned polymers was greater than 75%. E. coli, for example, had a rapid disintegration rate but was responsible for human gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections. As a result, our isolated Acinetobacter sp. can be employed to degrade synthetic polymers.

Published: June 2022

The Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test is one of the most popular and specific diagnostic tests to easily recognize the Peste des Petits Ruminants virus (PPRV) genome in clinical samples. The sensitivity of the RT-PCR test depends on gene-targeted primer sets. The literature appears to be lacking in designing primers used in RT-PCR to detect PPRV genome in Bangladesh. This study aimed to develop an N gene based PPRV primer set, a standardized RT-PCR protocol, and its validity test by comparison with other available primers. A total of seventy clinical samples and ten PPRV positive isolates were used in real-time RT-PCR and conventional RT-PCR using one pair designed primer set NF/NR and three pairs of published gene F1/F2, F1b/F2b and N1/N2. N gene-based PPRV primer sets (NF/NR) were designed from a published sequence of PPRV (Accession number GQ122187.1). Statistical analysis was carried out. The designed N gene-based primer positive PPRV samples were sequenced and analysed. The N gene-based primer sets were more sensitive to PPRV detection than F gene-based primer (P =.002) in the RT-PCR test. PPRV detects the highest (86%) of clinical samples in the RT-PCR test using a designed N gene-based primer. Sequence analysis showed that designed N gene-based the 402bp sequence of PPRV isolates is clustered with other Bangladeshi PPRV isolates and belongs to Lineage IV. New primers sets were designed from the conserved region of the N gene of PPRV. Designed primer sets successfully worked in real-time RT-PCR. The standardized RT-PCR protocol with the designed primer sets (NF/NR) can be used for the specific detection of PPRV from clinical samples.

Authors: Kena Tame , Nobin Hage , Kothapalli Jyothinath
Published: June 2022

Background: Atypical antipsychotics are the drug of choice to manage schizophrenia in general clinical practice. Antipsychotics cause various side effects, including metabolic syndrome, extrapyramidal symptoms, hyperlipidemia, weight gain, and hypotension in patients treated for schizophrenia.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the side effects due to antipsychotic drugs and their effect on the outcome in schizophrenia cases.

Materials and Methods: A total of 200 cases with the diagnosis of schizophrenia were recruited. Cases were divided into five groups based on administered drugs (Asenapine, Iloperidone, Olanzapine, Aripiprazole, and Ziprasidone). Treatment procedure and side effect profile were documented. Drug side effects were assessed by a standard antipsychotic side-effects evaluation questionnaire. Cases were followed up for the status of side effects at the end of 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month, and 12th month.

Results: The rates of weight gain were 20%, 30%, 50%, 25%, and 15% and menstrual complications were seen at 2.5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, and 1% in all five groups, respectively. Lactation disturbance was observed in 5%, 5%, 12.5%, and 5% iloperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and ziprasidone, respectively. The extrapyramidal symptoms were higher in the iloperidone group compared to the asenapine, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and ziprasidone drug groups.

Conclusion: Atypical antipsychotic drug consumption leads to considerable weight gain and few metabolic abnormalities. Clinicians should estimate the adverse events associated with atypical antipsychotics and compare the benefits of antipsychotics versus the quality of life of cases.

Published: June 2022

Background and Purpose: Stroke is a major cause of disability and premature death in various developing countries,
including India. Although various physical and psychological dysfunctions are associated with stroke, sexual
dysfunction that is not often addressed either by the patient or by the health care provider can greatly influence the
quality of living among stroke survivors.
Aim: The study is aimed at comparing the physiotherapy outcomes of sexual rehabilitation on sexual dysfunction
among ischemic and hemorrhagic post-stroke survivors.
Materials and Methods: A total of 109 stroke patients, Ischemic (n=76) and Hemorrhagic (n=29) were selected for this
research. A written consent was taken after inclusion criteria is satisfied. Both groups were given structured
physiotherapy daily for a one-hour session along with psychological support by verbal communication. The sexual
functioning is calculated by CSFQ-14 before intervention and after six months of follow-up.
Results: After sexual rehabilitation, both groups showed statistically significant improvement in sexual functioning
(CSFQ-14 scores), pIS LESS THAN 0.001. But there was no significant difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic post-stroke
survivors in sexual functioning statistically.
Conclusion: Both ischemic and hemorrhagic post-stroke survivors showed similar results on sexual functioning after physiotherapy. Hence, both ischemic and hemorrhagic post-stroke survivors can be included in a sexual rehabilitation program.

Published: June 2022

Au Québec, près de 340 000 personnes travaillent dans le réseau de la santé et des services sociaux. En date du 7 mai 2022, 60 000 d’entre elles étaient temporairement absentes du travail comme le révèle le Tableau de bord du ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux. Plusieurs responsables et porte-paroles du milieu ont exprimé leurs inquiétudes de ne pas pouvoir assurer des services sécuritaires à la population, surtout à l’approche de l’été. Les gestionnaires au sein du réseau sont donc confrontés aux défis d’optimiser la santé de la population et assurer la présence au travail d’une main-d’œuvre généralement plus âgée que dans d’autres secteurs. Cette main-d’œuvre plus âgée présente des risques accrus de problèmes de santé et d’absentéisme. Les personnes de 45 ans et plus sont notamment surreprésentées parmi les personnes souffrant de douleurs musculosquelettiques et celles touchées par l’épuisement professionnel. Quels sont les leviers à mobiliser pour répondre à ces enjeux de santé au travail ? Cette étude de Carl-Ardy Dubois, Doyen et professeur titulaire à l’École de santé publique de l’Université de Montréal et Chercheur CIRANO, réalisée en collaboration avec cinq autres experts, fournit des réponses en s’appuyant sur un riche cadre d’analyse qui permet d’identifier les meilleures pistes d’action pour répondre aux défis qui se posent. En matière de prévention, les auteurs concluent qu’au-delà des interventions de nature simplement cognitive ou comportementale, il faut envisager des interventions plus étendues visant à adapter les conditions organisationnelles et l’environnement psychosocial de travail. Les organisations peuvent agir en créant des conditions et contextes de travail favorables : avoir une plus grande latitude décisionnelle dans l’exercice de son travail et bénéficier de soutien de ses pairs agissent comme des facteurs protecteurs qui réduisent les risques de troubles musculosquelettiques et de problèmes de santé mentale et psychologique au travail.

Revisiting ‘Minimal Nuclear Deterrence’: Laying the Ground for Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament
Authors: Erästö Tytti
Published: June 2022

The prospects for nuclear arms control appear dim following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Instead of continued reliance on nuclear deterrence, the resulting new awareness of nuclear risks should inform bold nuclear disarmament measures in the long term. Drawing on previous debates on ‘minimal nuclear deterrence’, this paper argues that nuclear deterrence is possible at low numbers, and hence reliance on nuclear deterrence is not an obstacle to significant progress in nuclear disarmament. In particular, there is scope for reducing the vast Russian and United States nuclear arsenals, which risk planetary-scale destruction and stand in the way of multilateral nuclear disarmament. At the same time, recent military-technological evolution has raised the bar for minimal nuclear deterrence by questioning the survivability of nuclear forces. In addition to making recommendations on how to address such strategic challenges, the paper addresses some conceptual dilemmas traditionally associated with minimal nuclear deterrence.

Bunların hepsi “Tanrısal, İlahi; kutsal” anlamındadır. Hunca *İgis sanı Ahmed Yesevî ve Nevaî’de geçen İge “sahip; Rab”dandır. Göktürkçe *İsig sanı Yunus Emre’de geçen ısı, isi “sahip”, Nevaî’de geçen ısı “sahip”tendir. Uygurca *İdigen sanıysa Orkun yazıtlarında geçen idi “sahip”, Ahmed Yesevi’de geçen İdi “sahip; Rab”dan gelişmiştir.

Ayrıca *İdigen sözünün i- > e- > ö- evrimiyle Ötüken olduğu belirtilmiştir. Varılan sonuçların en önemlilerinden biri Hunca *İgis sanının Hunların Türkçe konuştuğunu kanıtlayan sözlerden biri olması, öbürü Ötüken “Tanrısal, İlahi; kutsal yurt” adının köken ve anlamının açıklanmasıdır.
