Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of board characteristics on the financial outcomes of Shari'ah-compliant banks in Pakistan, with a particular focus on supervisory attributes such as board size, frequency of meetings, and independence in decision-making. The empirical analysis utilizes data from all Islamic banks of Pakistan over the period from 2021 to 2023, a timeframe chosen to evaluate financial performance in the context of post-pandemic economic challenges. Employing panel data analysis through multiple regression models, the study reveals that bank size does not have a significant effect on the financial outcomes. In contrast, the board size plays a crucial role in influencing financial success. Specifically, boards that are composed of independent members that meet regularly for strategic evaluations tend to achieve better financial performance. These results emphasize the importance of enhancing Shari'ah-compliant governance structures, particularly in the context of economic recovery. The implications of these findings suggest that to improve the decision-making process, Islamic banks should focus on quality and independence in board composition and prioritize frequent strategic assessments to improve financial outcomes.

Published: September 2024

Before making a purchase, many find internet reviews to be a vital source of information. On top of that, companies may learn a lot about their products and services via these reviews. Having faith in these reviews was especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many stayed inside and read reviews at a dizzying pace. The pandemic altered the atmosphere and people's preferences in addition to increasing the number of evaluations. Spam reviewers keep an eye on these changes and try to improve their sneaky techniques. In order to deceive customers or harm competitors, reviews that are deemed spam may include inaccurate, misleading, or dishonest information. Consequently, this work introduces a WSVM plus an HHO to identify spam reviews. The HHO is similar to an algorithm in that it optimises hyperparameters and uses feature weights. Using English, Spanish, and Arabic language corpora as datasets, the multilingual difficulty in spam reviews has been tackled. Ngram-3, TFIDF, whereas One-hot encoding are three methods for representing words, while pre-trained word incorporation (BERT) is another one that has been used. Each of the four such studies has shed light on and provided a solution to a different facet. From start to finish, the proposed technique beat rival cutting-edge algorithms in every test. For the Multi dataset, the WSVM-HHO achieved a success rate of 84.270 percent; for the English information set, 89.565 percent; for the Spanish information set, 71.913 percent; and for the Arabic dataset, 88.565 percent. Furthermore, we have extensively researched the review environment before to and during the COVID-19 event. To further enhance detection performance, it has been designed to merge its existing textual attributes with statistical information to build a new dataset.

Published: September 2024

Ophthalmologists rely heavily on retinal pictures to diagnose a wide range of eye conditions. Numerous retinal disorders may lead to microvascular alterations in the retina, and a number of studies have been conducted on the early identification of medical pictures to enable prompt and appropriate treatment. In order to identify various eye illnesses using color fundus pictures, this study develops a non-invasive, automated deep learning system. A multiclass ocular illness A productive diagnostic approach was created using the Remind dataset. A variety of augmentation strategies were used to make the structure robust in real-time after multi-class fundus pictures were collected from a multi-label dataset. Low computational demand images were processed in accordance with the network. The fundamental convolutional neural network (CNN) extracts appropriate characteristics from the input color fundus image dataset, and then processed characteristics were employed to make predictive diagnoses. This multi-layer neural network, called Eye Deep-Net, has been developed for training and evaluating images for the recognition of various eye problems. The performance of the suggested model is determined to be much better than numerous baseline state-of-the-art models. The strength from the Eye Deep-Net is assessed using different statistical metrics. The suggested methodology's effectiveness in classifying and identifying diseases using digital fundus pictures is shown by a thorough comparison with the most modern techniques.

Published: September 2024

Introduction and objective. Cutaneous lesions developing within tattoos is a well-recognized, relatively rare manifestation of sarcoidosis. Lower socioeconomic status is associated with greater skin disease severity in sarcoidosis patients. Therefore, the objective of this retrospective, single-site study was to determine whether residing in disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago, Illinois may espouse tattoo-associated sarcoidosis. Methods. 20 patient charts at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago were found to have tattoos and biopsy-proven cutaneous sarcoidosis. The patients were categorized according to presence or absence of noncaseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis located within tattoo pigmentation. Patients’ Chicago zip codes were ranked by socioeconomic disadvantage using the validated University of Wisconsin-Madison Area Deprivation Index (ADI) where an affluent neighborhood had a score of ≤5 and a disadvantaged neighborhood had a score >5. Analysis utilized Welch’s t-test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. Fourteen patients had tattoo-associated sarcoidosis whereas six did not. Patients residing in affluent neighborhoods (n=8) had significantly higher tattoo-associated sarcoidosis than those in disadvantaged neighborhoods (n=12). Patients with tattoo-associated sarcoidosis had a median ADI of 5 and an average ADI of 4.21 (CI 2.68, 5.75) whereas patients without tattoo-associated sarcoidosis had a median of 9 and average of 8.5 (CI 7.13, 9.87) (p=0.001). Other demographic comparisons were not statistically significant (p >0.05). Conclusions. Tattoo-associated sarcoidosis was correlated to patients residing in affluent neighborhoods in Chicago. However, the mechanism(s) underlying this phenomenon was not found. Prospective, multi-site randomized studies are warranted to corroborate these findings.

Published: September 2024

This comprehensive literature review examines the intricate relationship between Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and dermatological conditions, with a particular focus on those characterized by conspicuous skin irregularities such as acne vulgaris, psoriasis, and vitiligo. Highlighting the significant prevalence of BDD among individuals afflicted with these dermatological issues, our analysis seeks to illuminate the profound psychological repercussions stemming from an exaggerated preoccupation with perceived skin imperfections. Through an in-depth exploration of the psychopathology underlying BDD symptoms, we analyze the complex dynamics between skin health and mental well-being, emphasizing the disorder's impact on patients’ psychological and social functioning. The paper further investigates the consequential effects of BDD on essential aspects of dermatologic treatment, including patient adherence to therapeutic regimens, overall quality of life, and the effectiveness of available treatments. In addition to presenting current therapeutic approaches, we advocate for the integration of psychodermatological interventions tailored to mitigate the dual burden of skin conditions and psychological distress. Future research directions proposed include longitudinal studies to assess the long-term effects of BDD on skin disease prognosis and psychosocial well-being, aiming to refine and optimize treatment modalities to contribute to a more holistic understanding of BDD within dermatological practice.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Hispanic and black patients suffer a worse prognosis of melanoma compared to non-Hispanic whites (NHWs).1 The rising prevalence of comorbidity in advanced metastatic melanoma is emerging as an important determinant in prognosis, treatment, and overall survival.2 Racial minorities are more likely to have comorbid conditions, which could account for their decreased survival rates. Objective: This study analyzes the prevalence of comorbidity among racial and ethnic melanoma populations and its relationship with prognosis. Methods: In this retrospective study, patients from the Texas Cancer Registry database were compared using an unpaired-t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Univariate and multivariable cox regressions and a Kaplan-Meier curve examined survivability based on comorbidity status. Mortality risk was based on survival time, which was determined by calculating the difference between date of death and date of diagnosis. Results: Compared to NHWs, Hispanic and Black patients had more comorbidities and a worse prognosis. While in situ CM was higher among NHWs (27.54%), distant metastasis was higher among black patients (14.4%) and Hispanics (10.9%) compared to NHWs (5.07%) (p-value<.001). A greater percentage of black and Hispanic patients had at least one comorbidity (10.31 and 9.45, respectively) vs. NHWs (6.89%) (p-value<.001). After adjusting for gender, ethnicity, race, insurance, treatment and tumor behavior, mortality risk increased by 41% when comorbidity was present (p-value<.001). Conclusion: Comorbidity was higher among Hispanic and Black melanoma patients and contributes to a worse prognosis. Further research on the impact of comorbidity on melanoma is needed to improve outcomes and racial disparities.

Institutional contamination by student waste at the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE, Sede Latacunga, is of concern due to lack of environmental awareness, inadequate infrastructure and clear recycling policies. The research reveals a strong awareness among students about the importance of separating waste and recycling, although there are challenges in infrastructure and policies. Students perceive recycling as beneficial for the environment and health. Most support the implementation of recycling and waste separation systems. The need for adequate containers and awareness campaigns is highlighted. Health risks associated with hazardous waste are identified. The university should lead changes towards more sustainable practices, promoting recycling infrastructure, waste reduction and local partnerships. Continuous monitoring and evaluation, increased student participation, and clear policies and environmental education programs are recommended

The threat of preterm labor, a pathology endangering the lives of both mother and baby, affects one in ten births and is a serious public health issue. This research aimed to manage the nursing care process for a 35-year-old pregnant woman with a threat of preterm labor, using a purely qualitative approach in a single case study, applying the five stages of the nursing care process. In the assessment stage, Maryori Gordon's 11 functional patterns guide was used, identifying 10 nursing diagnoses based on NANDA-I Taxonomy II, prioritizing: labor pain, risk of maternal/fetal dyad alteration, and infection control. The care plan was developed using NOC and NIC classifications. During the implementation stage, nursing care focused on pain management, prenatal fetal status, and infection control. These were evaluated by comparing baseline scores with achievement scores, resulting in an updated care plan with changes scored at+1, 0, and +2. In conclusion, the nursing care process was managed, providing quality and humanized care to the patient.

Introduction: Epilepsy is an important neurological disease characterized by stigma, high psychiatric comorbidity, and considerable economic costs. Globally, it is ranked as the second most serious neurological disorder in terms of disability-adjusted life years. In Bolivia, no epidemiological studies have been carried out on psychiatric comorbidity in patients with epilepsy in this context. Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic variables, identify the most frequent psychiatric disorders and determine the association between these disorders and the type of epilepsy, in patients with epilepsy treated in outpatient clinics in tertiary hospitals in Santa Cruz.Methods: This study is observational, descriptive, analytical, retrospective, cross-sectional and multicenter. The study population included all patients with a diagnosis of epilepsy seen in an outpatient Neurology clinic, with a concurrent diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. A non-probabilistic sample was used to collect data, which was obtained through the review of medical records and statistical records, using a structured data collection form.Results and discussion: According to the data obtained, an equitable distribution is observed between both sexes. Regarding age, adults predominate followed by children. Regarding education, the majority of participants have primary education, followed by secondary education. The other educational levels (preschool, middle/higher technical, university, and special education) have smaller representations. The relationship between education and age shows that the majority of adults have primary education. Regarding the etiology of epilepsy, the unknown cause predominates, followed by the structural cause and the genetic cause. Regarding the type of epilepsy, the most common is generalized, followed by seal and combined. In psychiatric diagnosis, the most common disorder is mental retardation.Conclusions: The results highlight the high prevalence of mental retardation in its different degrees and depressive disorder among patients with epilepsy. The etiology of epilepsy, the unknown cause predominates, followed by the structural cause and the genetic cause. In psychiatric diagnosis, the most common disorder is mental retardation. More epidemiological studies are required to further evaluate psychiatric comorbidity in patients with epilepsy, which could inform better clinical management and intervention strategies.

Introduction: hysterectomy is a common gynecological procedure in which resection of the uterus and adnexa is performed. Nursing staff plays a fundamental role in continuous care before, during and after the operation, providing adequate care and mastery of procedures to patients. An investigation was carried out with the objective of proposing a survey that identifies the level of knowledge about hysterectomy and its pre- and post-surgical care.Methods: an instrument of 25 multiple response questions was developed, structured into Introduction, Instructions and General Information. The variable level of knowledge was evaluated as low (0 -10 points), medium (11 - 16 points) and high (17 - 25 points), grading the answers as correct (1 point) and incorrect (2 points). The instrument was validated and tested in a pilot group of 10 participants.Results: to facilitate the validation of the instrument, the opinion of 5 experts on the subject was obtained. The validity analysis was carried out using Aiken 's V coefficient, in order to measure the degree of agreement, of which a perfect degree of agreement was found for the instrument with a value of Aiken 's V = 1. The Alpha statistic of Cronbach obtained was 0.85 which proved the reliability.Conclusions: A questionnaire is proposed to evaluate knowledge about hysterectomy, as well as pre- and post-operative care, which, having a simple structure, can be applied quickly and easily to a large number of patients

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Due to the great threat posed by COVID-19, the scientific community must have evidence of kidney damage in patients affected by this disease, which would make it possible to carry out actions aimed at its prevention and early detection.
Objectives: deepen knowledge about COVID-19 and its impact on the kidney.
Methods: a bibliographic review on COVID-19 and kidney was carried out, in research published in Spanish and English, in the PubMed, Scielo, and Dialnet databases. All documents published in the last five years (2019-2023) were selected, which included the keywords: COVID-19, kidney, kidney disease.
Conclusions: within the systemic involvement caused by COVID-19, the kidney plays a predominant role in its pathophysiology and as a target organ. Kidney disease is in itself a risk factor for morbidity and mortality and acute kidney failure worsens the prognosis; Hence, it is necessary to delve deeper into these topics every day to direct novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies
