Objective: Determination of celecoxib and diclofenac effects in early young subjects. Study design: Randomized study designed Methodology: All the participants received celecoxib 225 mg two times/day and diclofenac 80mg two times/day. First 21 days all participants received celecoxib treatment, before the start of the following medicine diclofenac 3.5 weeks gap was given. The blood pressure (BP) of patients was measured using the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device (space labs model 90217A). Results: Group one consisted of young participants had a mean ± SD age 29 ± 3.4 while group 2 elderly had a mean ± SD age 55 ± 5.5. The mean body mass index was (group 1) 21.7 ± 1.8 kg/m2 and for group 2 = 27.3 ± 1.0 kg/m2. Group one had 5 (38.46%) females and 8 (61.53%) males while group 2 had 4 (30.76%) females and 9 (69.23%) males. The celecoxib medication baseline BP shows that there was no significant difference found in systolic blood pressure. Similar results for diastolic (mm Hg) for day and night time. Mean arterial pressure was higher in the elderly group -2 than in young group 1, Plasma renin activity was less in group 2 on day one compared to group 1. Plasma renin activity and concentration were decreased after 7 days of celecoxib and diclofenac treatment. A non-significant result was obtained. Group 1 Aldosterone serum (ng/l) for celecoxib received patients 11 ± 2.2 (ng/l) value for day one, day 7 = 13.2 ± 3.2, day 14 = 14.2 ± 3.4. Similarly in the case of diclofenac, the Aldosterone serum (ng/l) value for day one = 11.3 ± 21, day 7= 12.2 ± 2.3, and day 14 = 12.3 ± 2.1. A decrease in values was observed in both groups for aldosterone serum. For group-2 celecoxib, day one=15 ± 2.2, day 7= 14 ± 2.4*. day14= 14 ± 1.4. For diclofenac day one 15 ± 2.2, 7day= 15 ± 1.5, and 14 days = 14 ± 5.1. The comparison of both groups shows that the sodium and potassium decrease in both treatments in both groups. Conclusion: Overall, we got a non-significant response of both drugs on renal function and blood pressure. Keywords: blood pressure, renin angiotensin aldosterone system, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Background: In order to augment the postoperative recovery process in patients undergoing laparotomy, various methods have been evaluated in the past. One such strategy is the use of postoperative abdominal binder. Objective: We compared the efficacy of abdominal binder use in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy by objective comparison of 6-minute walk test and pain on visual analogue scale. Place of study: Departments of Surgery in both Benazir Bhutto Hospital and District Head Quarter Hospital affiliated with Rawalpindi Medical University, Rawalpindi Material and Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial that was carried out at Departments of Surgery of Rawalpindi Medical University, from October 2021 till May 2022. It included 100 patients, 50 in binder group and 50 in non-binder group. The study included patients from 18 to 65 years of age undergoing emergency exploratory laparotomy for acute abdomen or abdominal trauma having ASA Class I-II. In the postoperative period mobility was assessed by 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and pain was assessed using the VAS. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. The mean 6 MWT distance and pain score (VAS) was compared between the binder and no-binder group using the independent samples t-test. Results were considered statistically significant if the p value was < 0.05. Results: The 6MWT distance and the pain scores of patients in the binder group did not differ significantly from the pain scores in the non-binder group on first, third, fifth and fourteenth postoperative day (p>0.05). Conclusion: We did not find a statistically significant difference between the patients using binder and the patients not using binder after surgery with respect to mobilization and pain in the postoperative period.

Published: December 2022

Chronic liver disease of various etiologies is the major causes of mortality and morbidity globally. Liver biopsy is the most accurate and oldest method to determine the chronic liver disease progression and for liver histology. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new non-invasive technique that applies localized mechanical compression to the soft tissue with focused ultrasonography and obtains tension images showing the tissue response. Aspartate aminotransferase to platelets ratio (APRI) on the other hand is relatively less expensive test and can be done on outpatient basis. Objective: To find the relation between APRI aspartate and SWE for detection of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. Study Design: A Cross Sectional study Setting: Medical Unit-1 Lahore General Hospital Lahore and Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Doctors Hospital and Medical Centre, Lahore. Study Duration: From July 2019 to December 2021. Methods: 180 patients met the criteria of inclusion were included, the blood samples were obtained and sent to the hospital laboratory for valuation of AST and Platelets. Reports were evaluated, APRI was calculated and patients were labeled as negative or positive. Then all patients underwent SWE by a senior radiologist for assessment of liver fibrosis. Patients were labeled as negative or positive. Agreement was noted, all data was entered on a specifically designed proforma, and data were analyzed and entered in SPSS version 20 statistical method. Agreement was calculated by generating 2x2 tables between APRI and SWE findings. Kappa statistics was calculated to measure the strength and significance of agreement. P-value ≤0.05 was taken as significant. Results: In this study, the patients mean age was 46.39 ± 16.02years. There were 119 (66.11%) males and 61 (33.89%) females. The mean BMI of patients was 24.70 ± 5.23kg/m2. The mean duration of CLD was 5.50 ± 2.672 years. The mean AST of patients was 73.98 ± 60.23IU/L while mean platelet count was 200.65 ± 92.47/cm3. The mean APRI was 1.41 ± 1.20. The mean SWE was 18.32 ± 23.85kPa. The APRI and SWE agreed on 73 (54.9%) cases and showed 66.7% agreement between them for diagnosis of liver fibrosis (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thus, APRI and SWE showed strong agreement but further trials are required to confirm the evidence.

Objectives: Obesity and high blood pressure are a well-known combination. Some studies Shows that development of hypertension in kids, teenagers, adults, which eventually led to heart disorders.We measured that blood pressure of 15 school-aged kids (ages 5–12) for 06 months, beginning in February 2019 to October 2019, while also providing Regular nutrition class and activities to assess the impact of nutrient as a routine life mediation on the kids' body composition, weight, and blood pressure school-aged children prevention programmer. In children and young children, obesity is an indisputably serious clinical problem. From 2001 to 2010, public research establish that the frequency of weighty in children increased from 6% to 14%. The consequences of adolescent obesity. Methodology: It was a cross- sectional study conducted in a hospital. The Department of Peads Medicine, P.E.M.H, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, conducted this descriptive case series. The research lasted a year. Over the course of a year, from February 2019 to October 2019, the number of children aged 5–12 years who were called in for a regular health check-up from around 100 patientswas lower normal blow cohorts than in the weighty and obese group. This shows a link between obesity and hypertension. During the hour of time spent in two groups, pulse levels decreased. Thiscould be the result of the personalized mediation or the children adjusting to the new situation. A large number of children were fearful. Results: Systolic pulse values can be seen in the results. In the standard group, fifteen children (10 M kids and 05 F kids) had circulatory strain in the 90th percentile or above in at least one calculation. In this study, 15 children (10 M kids and 5 kids F) in the intercession group reported increased cardiovascular strain in at least one estimate. Conclusion: Fat loss is the main-route antihypertensive therapy in children having high blood pressure caused by obesity. In addition, in the management of obesity-related high blood pressure, establishing heart-healthy life that take in daily bodily exercise also a food rich in berries and root vegetable, fibre, that is also low in complex carbohydrate and sweet cold drink critical. This may be problematic in children with stoutness, which is often associated with comorbid illnesses and depression and anxiety decreased flexibility. For maximum adequacy, a multidisciplinary approach is frequently expected. A small number of children will require antihypertensive medication. Both are not effective to lowering blood pressure in children. In any case, the reduced CV events observed in adults treated with RAAS inhibitors are promising.

Published: December 2022

Background and Aim: In-stent restenosis (ISR) in coronary artery disease patients can be effectively treated with drug-eluting ballons (DEB). Yet, the prevalence and binary restenosis related factors have not been assessed in the past. The present study intended to determine the incidence and outcome predictors in drug-eluting ballons treatment of in-stent restenosis. Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 152 coronary artery disease patients in Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore from January 2021 to July 2022. Prior to study conduction, the research and ethical committees approved the procedure. Patient’s demographic details, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and lesion features were recorded. Data analysis was done in SPSS version 26. Results: Of the total CAD patients, 110 (72.4%) were male and 42 (27.6%) were females. The overall mean age was 56.82±4.56 years. The prevalence of different risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as diabetes, hypertension, smoking, LDL >1.40 mmol/l, and family history was 82 (53.9%), 94 (61.8%), 92 (60.5%), 64 (42.1%), and 16 (10.5%) respectively. Other comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease and heart failure were present in 58 (38.2%) and 12 (7.9%) respectively. High-dose statin therapy was given to 40 (26.3%) patients. The occurrence of MACEs, myocardial infarction, targeted vessel revascularization (TVR), and target lesion revascularization (TLR) during follow-up was 56 (36.8%), 40 (26.3%), 10 (6.6%), and 33 (21.7%) respectively. The mortality rate was 13 (8.6%). Multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the independent factors such as diffuse ISR [OR=2.21: CI 95%, (1.2-1.76), stents ≥2 per lesion [OR=1.78; 95% CI (1.12-2.19)], proximal left anterior descending artery [OR=1.31; 95% CI (1.2-1.76)], and triple vessel disease [OR=2.87, 95% CI (1.1-6.3), p=0.005)]. Conclusion: The present study concluded that In-stent restenosis is a coronary angioplasty serious complication with adverse outcomes. For in-stent restenosis, drug-eluting balloons are an effective alternative to stenting. MACE was shown to be prevalent in our data. MACE is a measure of all-cause mortality in a high-risk group and demonstrates that DEB provides both short-term and long-term advantages in ISR.

Background and Aim: Patients with acute coronary syndrome who receive radial access by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are less likely to experience clinical adverse events. The present study aimed to associate the PCI procedural time with left subclavian artery angle in acute coronary syndrome patients. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 124 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore from June 2021 to June 2022. Prior to study conduction, the ethical committee approved the study protocol. After a CT scan on admission, patients with PCI via an LRA were included in this study. The angle of left subclavian artery was measured on CT scan through coronal view as an indicator for tortuosity and was related with procedural time and clinical variables. SPSS version 26 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 124 consecutive patients who underwent PCI, the left radial approach was used in 60 (48.4%) acute coronary syndrome patients. The overall mean age was 64.8±12.6 years. There were 37 (29.8%) females and 87 (70.2%) males. Severe tortuosity patients (left subclavian artery angle <70 degree) had higher incidence of female gender (41.6% vs. 14.2%, p<0.001), older age (73.8±9.87 vs. 59.6±14.2 years, P<0.005), higher subclavian artery calcification (72.6% vs. 32.8%, P=0.001), and hypertension (92.6% vs. 74.8%, P<0.01) than those with angle of left subclavian artery ≥70 degrees. Total procedural time (ρ=-0.29, P=0.003), and sheath cannulation to first balloon time (ρ=-0.48, P<0.001) were negatively associated with left subclavian artery angle. Conclusion: The present study found that Left subclavian artery lower angles are indicators of tortuosity via left radial approach significantly associated with total procedural time and sheath insertion long duration to the first balloon time during percutaneous coronary intervention.

De la energía al resto de los componentes: la generalización del fenómeno inflacionista
Authors: González Mínguez José , Hurtado Samuel , Leiva-León Danilo , Urtasun Alberto
Published: December 2022

Motivación. A partir de diciembre de 2020 la inflación repuntó de forma sostenida. Inicialmente, este repunte se ciñó a los precios energéticos, pero posteriormente se sumaron los alimentos y el resto de los componentes. Es importante entender en qué medida esta generalización es el resultado del aumento de los precios energéticos.

Ideas principales. Se ha observado un aumento de la influencia de los precios energéticos sobre la inflación subyacente. Este aumento se debe en parte al mayor tamaño de las perturbaciones recientes, pero también a una intensificación de la transmisión de las variaciones en los precios de la energía al resto de los precios de consumo.

Published: December 2022

This paper explores the effects of determinants of bilateral trade on export flows of Republic of Moldova during last decade in the framework of gravity model. Being a structural model with solid theoretical foundations it proves that markets are linked and changes in one partner country can cause changes in trade performance of another partner country. The variables include trade partner’s GDP, economic distance, and Association Agreement membership. Specifically, the model relies on a fixed effect panel estimation for explaining the export flows of the Republic of Moldova. In order to check the viability of the gravity equation, there are executed statistical tests. Based on the analysis, there are provided policy recommendations for trade policy.
Morphological features and anatomical variations of the Foramen Transversarium in Cervical vertebrae: A study in Eastern Indian population
Authors: Niloy Kumar Das  , Urmimala Basu
Published: December 2022

Introduction: The foramina transversaria (FT) is a cardinal feature of the Cervical Vertebra. It transmits the vertebral vascular bundle (vertebral artery, and veins) and the sympathetic plexus which accompanies the vessels. Variations in number, size, shape & other morphological details of foramen transversarium give rise to neurological as well as hearing impairment. We in the index study, deliberated over the variations of FT as well as accessory FT. This in turn will help neurology surgeons as well as orthopedic surgeons while performing surgeries on the cervical spine. Objectives: Study of variations in number, size, shape & other morphological details of foramen transversarium in order to facilitate spinal surgery of cervical vertebra. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional, single center, observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital with 160 sets, exactly 1099 human cervical vertebrae. All cervical vertebrae were observed macroscopically, on both the sides for presence of: Variations in number, size, shape & other morphological details of foramen transversarium. Variations in number, size, shape & other morphological details of accessory foramen transversarium. Results: According to our observation type 4 is the most prevalent category in the right side (39.67%); whereas type 5 (30.12%) is the commonest category in the left side, being closely seconded by type 1(28.57%). The incidence of AFT (Accessory Foramina Transversarium) varied from 2.5% to 17.61 %. There is progressive increase in incidence from C1 to C7 except C2 where the incidence was zero. Conclusion: The data provided by the present study on the morphology of foramen transversarium can be helpful in the interpretation of radiographic pictures and in computerized tomography for the diagnostic purposes. They may also be of assistance in determining a more accurate surgical approach to the removal of osteophytes or spurs compressing the vertebral arteries, or for other interventions in that area.

Köpek Öldürme ile İlgili Hadis Rivayetlerinin Tahlili ve Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Özdemir Ömer Ali
Published: December 2022

Hz. Muhammed (s.a.v) zamanında vuku bulup hadislere de konu olan hadiselerden biri köpek öldürme olayıdır. Bu uygulama, Medine sokaklarında artan hastalığın kaynağını izale etmek için köpeklere karşı öldürme emri ile başlamıştır. Emrin geçerliliği, daha sonraları kapsamı daralarak ortadan kalkmıştır. İslâm’ın hayvanlara verdiği değer, bu tikel uygulama üzerinden değil, tümel uygulamalar üzerinden okunmuştur. Köpeklerin öldürülmesi emriyle ilgili bize gelmiş rivayetler, değerlendirme ana başlığı altında; mutlak ve istinâî ara başlıklar halinde, Kutub-i Tis‘a çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Senet tenkidi yapılarak görüş belirtilmiştir. Rivayette senet tenkidini gerçekleştirme sürecini meşhur tabakat kitaplarından edindiğimiz bilgiler ve izlenimlerle sürdürürken metin tenkidi için ise birkaç önemli Kutub-i Sitte şerhinden yararlandık. İkinci ana başlıkla da İslâm’ın hayvanlara tümel bakışı ele alınmıştır. Hz. Muhammed’in (s.a.v) insanların yanı sıra birçok canlıya verdiği değerden ve şefkatten bahsedilmesi, köpek öldürme emrinin şamil bir uygulama olup olmadığı yönündeki karışıklılığa cevap olmuştur. Başka yönden ise köpek öldürme uygulamasının İslam’a getireceği olumsuz izlenimler, ikinci başlıktaki tümel bakışa ait örneklerle dağıtılmaya çalışılmıştır.
Habâis Kavramı ve Habîs Gıdaları Tespitte Mezheplerin Dikkate Aldığı Kriterler
Authors: Kılıç Hasan
Published: December 2022

İnsanın hayatı gıdalara bağlıdır. Bunlar da başlıca olarak; hayvanlar, bitkiler, madenler olmak üzere üçe ayrılır. Şârî fıtrata uygun, hoş, güzel, sağlığa faydalı yiyecekleri meşru kılmıştır. Bu şekilde olanlar nasslarda tayyib/tayyibât şeklinde geçmektedir. Fıtrata aykırı, pis, sağlığa zarar veren gıdalar haram kılınmış olup bunlar ise habîs/habâis şeklinde geçmektedir. Bitki kökenli yiyeceklerde fazla bir ayrıntı ve ihtilaf olmadığı için ulema daha çok hayvansal gıdalar üzerinde durmuştur. Bu bağlamda nasslarda az olduğu için haram olan gıdalar zikredilmekte ve haramı tespit için genel kaideler konulmaktadır. Ancak söz konusu nassların yoruma açık olması ve konuyla ilgili neredeyse her başlıkta delil olarak zikredilen el-A‘râf 7/157. âyette geçen habâisi tespitte mezheplerin dikkate aldığı ölçülerin farklılaşması habâis kapsamına giren yiyeceklerin mezhepten mezhebe değişmesine yol açmış, bir mezhepte habîs kabul edilen diğerinde tayyib sayılabilmiştir. Bu kavramlar hayatın her alanını kapsamaktadır. Bununla birlikte en önemli ve sürekli olan ihtiyacımızın yeme-içme olması, gün geçtikçe yiyeceklerin hem isim hem içerik açısından değişmesi ve yeni gıdalar üretilmesinden dolayı çalışmamızı bu iki kavramla ilgili olacak gıdalarla sınırlı tuttuk. Çalışmamızda kaynaklarda ağırlıklı olarak incelendiği üzere hayvanları ele aldık. Çalışmamıza habâis ve tayyibât kavramlarını tahlil etmekle başladık. Nasslarda bu iki kavramın nasıl işlendiğine yer verdik. İslam’ın genel prensibi olarak helal/temiz/tayyip olanlar çok olup pis/habîs olanlar sayılı ve sınırlı olduğu ve hikmet-i ilahî ve aklıselim gereği az olanı tespit etmek olduğu için habâis kavramının kapsamına giren hayvanlara, bu hayvanların habîs olma yönlerine ve mezheplerin konuyla ilgili esas aldıkları temellere ve görüşlerine temas ederek değerlendirmelerde bulunduk.
