Published: June 2023

Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF), an inflammation of the plantar fascia. This study compared the effects of the extracorporeal shockwave and high-intensity laser in reducing pain and enhancing function in chronic plantar fasciitis patients, who have failed to achieve results by the conservative treatment. Aim: To explore the best non-invasive treatment option for chronic PF within the scope of physical therapy. Method: After registry of trial the data collection was started.A total of45 chronic PF patientswere divided, randomly into three groups. Group 1 received BTL-6000 Shockwave therapy (ESWT) , group 2 received Diowave 60W Class IV hot Laser (HILT) and group 3 (the control group) was not given any electrotherapy treatment. All groups were given some exercises for the home plan. The groups were assessed with the Visual Analogue scale (VAS) and foot functional index (FFI) at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up of 2 months. Result: The mean age of participants was 39.66±10.05,38.06 ±12.64 and 37.40±13.18 for ESWT, HILT group and control groups respectively. There was significant difference in VAS and FFI score p=<0.001 across the time. Pre-treatment and post-treatment scores were significantly different but post treatment and follow-up scores were not significantly different for both VAS and FFI score (p=1.00). Practical implication: This study will help us to find out chronic Plantar fasciitis treatment within physical therapy and electrotherapy domain. As both these modalities are non-invasive, cost effective and proved as effective treatment for reduction of pain and improvement of pain in chronic plantar fasciitis patients. Conclusion: Extracorporeal shockwave have been promising treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis but High intensity LASER therapy effectiveness was not explored a lot in previous literature. The study concluded that both ESWT and HILT are effective in reducing pain and improving function on VAS and FFI, though the ESWT group was found better than both groups in FFI score and VAS across time on the basis of the mean differences across time.

Published: June 2023

Background: The main feature of diabetes mellitus (DM), a complicated metabolic illness with significant global impact, is persistent hyperglycemia brought on by either insulin resistance or deficiency, or both. Aim: To assess platelet indices in type 2 diabetic patients with or without complications. Study Design: cross-sectional study. Methodology: This study was carried at Combine Military Hospital-Multan. Total patients (n=120) were enrolled and were divided into two equal groups with complication and without complication. In addition to providing standard follow-up care, the diabetes follow-up clinic screens all DM patients for diabetes-related complications at the initial visit. Patients were then checked for these issues every six months. The data was entered and analyzed in SPSS 23. Mean ± SD were given for numeric data i.e., age and platelet indices. The frequency and percent were calculated for categorical data i.e., gender. Independent sample t-test was used to compare the age and platelet indices between the two groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the gender distribution between the two groups. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Independent sample t test revealed that there was no significant difference in mean age between both groups. The results revealed that the mean PDW, MPV, PLCR and PCT levels was significantly higher in patients with complicated diabetes. Practical implication: This study helped in exploring platelets indices as platelet indices results have notable impact on patient diagnosis and follow-up. With increasing demands and burden of patients in Hospital, new reliable and quick diagnosis is need of hour. Conclusion: It was concluded that all platelet indices like MPV, PDW, and P-LCR increased significantly in patients with complicated diabetes. However, platelet indices can be used as a simple, low-cost metric to track and gauge the likelihood of problems. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Hyperglycemia, Platelet Indices, Complications and Hematological Parameters.

Published: June 2023

Background: Hypospadias repair requires an appropriate wound dressing to prevent complications, but there is a lack of studies comparing the efficacy of different dressings. Aim: To compare the clinical outcomes of occlusive hydrocolloid dressing and petroleum-impregnated gauze with zinc oxide adhesive plaster, and recommend an appropriate dressing based on efficacy, availability, and cost-effectiveness. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on paediatric patients who had undergone hypospadias repair between August 2017 and November 2020 at Dr. Ruth K. M. Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi, Pakistan. All the patients receiving one of the two wound dressings, occlusive hydrocolloid dressing (group A) or petroleum-impregnated gauze with zinc oxide adhesive plaster (group B) during primary or secondary hypospadias repair, operated by the same paediatric surgeon were included in this study. Patients with missing data were excluded. There was only one patient lost to follow up in this study. Results: A total of 64 male hypospadias patients with a mean age of 6.0 ± 3.4 years were included in this study. Group A patients (n=37) received a thick 10 x 10 cm occlusive hydrocolloid dressing whereas, in Group B patients (n=27), a 2.5 x 10 cm petroleum-impregnated gauze with zinc oxide adhesive plaster was applied over the wound. In group A, five patients (13.5%) suffered post-operative fistula and wound dehiscence. Whereas, in group B, the post-operative fistula was seen in three patients (11.1%). This study provides evidence-based information to clinicians and healthcare providers regarding the use of wound dressings for hypospadias repair. By demonstrating the efficacy of a cheaper and more accessible dressing, this study could help improve access to care and reduce costs for patients, especially in resource-limited settings. Conclusion: Occlusive hydrocolloid dressing and petroleum-impregnated gauze are equally effective in the healing of hypospadias repair wounds. The simpler and cheaper petroleum-impregnated gauze may be preferable in resource-limited settings. Keywords: Hydrocolloid dressing; Petroleum impregnated gauze; Paraffin gauze; Hypospadias

Authors: Lidya Ichwana Dewi , Herryawan
Published: June 2023

Red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) is one of the potential medicinal plants known to have properties to cure various diseases. The main components of betel leaf exhibit antiseptic, bactericidal, and antioxidant effects. The betel leaf was concentrated into an essential oil containing the antiseptic chemical. The antibacterial power of betel leaf essential oil is due to the content of phenolic compounds and their derivatives that can denature bacterial cell proteins, so it was considered to have potential as a material that could develop for periodontal therapy. After going through the stages of toxicity testing and repeated dose in terms of mortality, changes in body weight, and relative organ index of Wistar strain rats, the study continued to observe the effects that occurred after using single and repeated doses of 100, 400, and 1000 mg/kg BW in vivo using red betel leaf extract with the parameters of observing the behavior of rats studied for 14 days. Observation of the behavior of the test animals on toxic symptoms at each visit consisted of motor activity, straub phenomenon, piloerection, ptosis, corneal reflex, pineal reflex, lacrimation, vasodilation, catalepsy, dangling, reestablishment, walking backwards, circular walking, flexion, haffner, writhing, grooming, tremor, body shaking, vocalizations, urination, defecation, heart rate, salivation, mortality, posture, and breath changes before and after dosing for 14 days. From the observations, the analysis of the data obtained is primary data. Primary data in the form of qualitative data was obtained from data on effects that occurred after the rats were given a dose. After processing the data, the data is presented in tabular and narrative form based on the observations by showing the test dose used, the number of animals showing a toxic effect, the time of onset of a toxic effect and the percentage of animals in a group showing a toxic result. Based on the results of the study, red betel leaf extract with doses of 100, 400, and 1,000 mg/kg BW which was observed on the first and 14th days, did not cause toxic symptoms in all groups of rats, both on single administration and repeated administration for 14 days.

Can Feedback Boost Prospective Memory Performance?
Authors: Ren Zhi , Liu Wei , Wang Lijuan
Published: June 2023

Prospective memory (PM) refers to remembering to perform intended actions in the future. Although there is ample evidence supporting the benefits of feedback for memory, it is unclear whether these benefits can be extended to the field of PM. Therefore, 2 experiments were conducted to investigate the role of feedback in PM. Experiment 1 compared PM performance in 3 feedback conditions (no feedback, ongoing task feedback, PM feedback). Experiment 2 further examined the effects of feedback valence (positive feedback or negative feedback) on PM performance under different task loads (task variability). Results suggested that providing feedback improved PM performance. The fluctuation of costs to PM during different feedback phases reflected the dynamically strategic monitoring for PM, especially in the PM feedback condition. Additionally, a significant PM performance difference between positive feedback and negative feedback in the invariable condition was observed. More importantly, only under the variable condition did the fluctuation of costs to PM task with positive feedback increase from the baseline phase to the second feedback phase. This finding indicated positive feedback promoted PM performance accompanied by more cognitive resources needed for strategic monitoring, and negative feedback boosted PM performance, relying on spontaneous retrieval independent of cognitive resources. Altogether, feedback boosted PM, and this benefit varies depending on the type of feedback and task variability. These results reflected a flexible change in PM processes and supported the dynamic multiprocess view of PM.

The validity of Ireland’s tragedies fixes itself perfectly on the theory of Malthusian Catastrophe proposed by Thomas Robert Malthus. To prove how Ireland is driven to the Malthusian havoc rests upon proving how and why the Crown exploits the Irish and their country. That is tackled by inspecting Swift’s appeal to the government, A Modest Proposal, and convinces its audience that the ruin caused in Ireland is all in fact the blame of the Parliament, a panorama that Swift clasps onto in his essay. Swift’s claims from this literary piece are used to make explicit why he thought the British were to be blamed for the Malthusian decree of Ireland. Further, the paper meanders into the positive and preventative checks of Malthus’s doctrine aligning it with the absurd solution Swift presents in his essay. An impartial verdict regarding the so-called Ireland’s genocide conspiracy is dispensed. The reasons why Swift’s manuscript turns out a biting satire is picked apart and fiddled with. The researchers employ mammoth support from other research projects, Thomas Malthus’s own records, and also from the controversial masterpiece of Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, and have penned down a carefully formulated chronological stream of evidence that wraps in its bearings the results of the research. The matrix grid of confirmations answers how the population surge was caused in Ireland equating in a Malthusian catastrophe, how do Malthus’s checks align with Swift’s grisly solution and why was his satiric solution so unsettling.

Maintaining inflation is one of the prime goals of the macroeconomic policy executed through the country's central bank. The persistence of inflation is considered a serious problem in developing countries because it erodes the standard of living of the majority of people. Nowadays, researchers are showing interest in energy price shocks as one of the drivers of inflation. So, the present study examines the role of pump diesel and pump gasoline prices on inflation controlling real exchange deprecation and urbanization using NARDL from 1990 to 2020. The result shows that the pump domestic diesel prices and pump domestic gasoline prices have a positively asymmetric impact on inflation in Pakistan. In contrast, real exchange deprecation and urbanization positively affect inflation. This study recommended that the government decrease the dependence on imported energy and focus on cheaper and domestic energy resources to fulfil the growing energy demand.

Multicultural education is increasingly vital for equity in different classrooms. This study examines intercultural education's pros and cons from teachers' and students' perspectives. This study used easy sampling to choose 200 individuals from Lahore, Punjab educational institutions. Multicultural education promotes cultural awareness, empathy, and respect in pupils, which can improve diversity. Multicultural education improves critical thinking, brainstorming, and problem-solving in the classroom. Multicultural education enabled teachers and students to understand and appreciate diverse cultures, faiths, and languages and challenge their assumptions to see the world from different perspectives. Multicultural education also fosters camaraderie in varied classrooms. Multicultural education improved student connections and classroom inclusion. The study also found that teachers feel unprepared to teach in diverse classrooms and lack the resources to effectively integrate multicultural education. Students also say intercultural education overloaded information access. Some also view intercultural education as useless and uncomfortable since it discusses sensitive themes like culture and identity. This research reveals intercultural education's benefits and drawbacks in creating equality in heterogeneous classrooms. Further, instructors need more assistance and training to promote and execute multicultural education in classrooms and offer students with appropriate materials and advice. Despite these limitations, suggested promoting and emphasizing varied teaching approaches in classrooms.

Aim: In this prospective study, our goal is to evaluate the effect of iodine-based contrast agent on renal Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) before and after the contrast agent in patients with normal and abnormal Glomerulary Filtration Rate (GFR) values using computed tomography (CT) imaging.Methods: The patients who applied for CT examination at an age older than 40 years and met the inclusion criteria of patient and control groups were included. DWI was evaluated by two radiologist in the same session. The range of interest (ROI) was adjusted to be less than 1.5 cm².The Spearman correlation test was used for statistical analysis.Results: A total of 48 subjects (23 and 25 subjects for patient and control groups, respectively) with two DWI scans were included. ADC values were compared for both kidneys before and after the administration of the contrast agent and a significant decrease in post-ADC values was observed in the control group (right kidney pre-ADC: 2,11±0,17 x10ˉ³, post-ADC 2,07±0,15 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, p=0,016; left kidney pre-ADC: 2,11±0,17 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, post-ADC 2,04±0,14 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, p=0,011). However, there was no significant difference between the patient groups according to the administration of contrast agent (right kidney pre-ADC: 1,97±0,22 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, post-ADC: 1,97±0,24 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, p=0,95; left kidney pre-ADC: 1,96±0,23 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, post-ADC: 1,98±0,22 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, p=0,64). Moreover, pre-ADC values in the patient group were relatively low. Pre-ADC values in both groups for the right kidney were 1,97±0,22 x10ˉ³ mm²/s and 2,11±0,17 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, respectively (p=0,016). Pre ADC values in both groups for the left kidney were 1,96±0,23 x10ˉ³ mm²/s and 2,11±0,17 x10ˉ³ mm²/s, respectively (p=0,018). No significant differences in the post-ADC values were observed between the two groups.Conclusion: No decrease in ADC values was observed after the administration of iodine-based contrast agent in patients with a GFR less than 60, whereas there was a relatively high decrease in patients with normal GFR.

Upravljanje kvalitetom u javnom sektoru je znatno dobilo na značaju poslednjih godina. Istina, dugi niz godina javni sektor se držao izvan ovog koncepta, a pod pojmom upravljanja kvalitetom podrazumevala se samo isporuka usluga u skladu sa zakonskim propisima. Međutim, kriza javne uprave i područja javnih usluga dovela je do preispitivanja uloge i upravljačkih mehanizama javnog sektora, te se vremenom u sve većoj mjeri, jednostavnim preuzimanjem ili eventualno uz odgovarajuća prilagođavanja, koja uzimaju u obzir specifičnosti i karakteristike istog u odnosu na privatni sektor, mogu uočiti pokušaji uvođenja i prilagođavanja sistema upravljanja kvalitetom usluga u organizacije javnog sektora. U BiH, kao zemlji u kojoj specifičnost državnog uređenja, zakonskih procedura, političkih previranja i uopšte društvene organizacije dodatno usložnjava posmatranu problematiku, važno je dijagnosticirati postojeće stanje primene sistema upravljanja kvalitetom i performansi poslovanja jedinica lokalne samouprave, te identifikovati područja mogućeg unapređenja. S tim u vezi, cilj rada je istražiti razlike u performansama poslovanja jedinica lokalne samouprave sa implementiranim standardom kvaliteta ISO 9001 i jedinica lokalne samouprave koje nisu primenile ovaj međunarodni standard u svom poslovanju. Primarni podaci za potrebe ovog istraživanja prikupljeni su primenom tehnike anketiranja, korištenjem anketnog upitnika kao obrasca za prikupljanje podataka. Razlika je testirana korištenjem t-testa nezavisnih uzoraka, a dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na značaj implementacije standarda ISO 9001, budući da je u jedinicama lokalne samouprave sa implementiranim standardom ISO 9001 zabilježen viši nivo performansi perspektive internih poslovnih procesa, performansi perspektive učenja i rasta i performansi perspektive korisnika u odnosu na jedinice lokalne samouprave koje nisu implementirale isti.

Both amphetamine and methamphetamine are considered to be illegal chemicals, and hence, the purchase, possession, and use of these drugs is forbidden in many nations. Within the fields of forensic and clinical toxicology, there has been a recent uptick in the detection and quantification of illicit substances within urine samples. Objective: To detect and quantify both drugs in urine samples utilizing caffeine as an internal standard with an optimized liquid-liquid extraction procedure. Methods: An alternative rapid and efficient method of liquid chromatography – electron spray ionization – Tandem mass spectrometry (LC – ESI – TMS) was developed and optimized. The chromatographic separation was carried out using an isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and the eluent that was applied was a mixture of 20% acetonitrile and 80% buffer with a pH of 2.6 that included 10mM ammonium acetate and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The run duration was 9 minutes, and the detection was accomplished at 210 nm with a flow rate of 1 mL/min utilizing triple quadruple MSMS to validate ionic transitions following direct infusion and fragmentation of analytes. Results: An excellent linearity was seen in the calibration curves of amphetamine and methamphetamine in urine samples across the concentration range of 0-10 mg/L, with a regression coefficient of 0.91 and 0.97, respectively, for each of these substances. Conclusions: More compounds are able to be identified in urine as chromatographic techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), continue to improve in terms of their sensitivity
