Published: March 2023

Background: Regardless of the cause, type 2 diabetes is a frequent consequence of total hepatic illnesses, particularly when they are progressive. Clinical and experimental findings do, however, point to an immediate involvement of HCV in the disruption of glucose metabolism.
Objective: This review aims to assess the connection among hepatitis C virus infection and T2DM (type 2 Diabetic Mellitus).
Material and methods: According to cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, insulin resistance (IR) and T2D are more likely to develop in people with chronic HCV infection.
Results: Although the evidence currently available should be seen as preliminary, it appears that this virus affects glucose metabolism via cellular mechanisms associated with host's innate immune response. Furthermore, epidemiological research has shown that people with T2D may also be more likely to have negative effects from their HCV infection. Both IR and T2D lessen the early and persistent virological response to in addition to hastening the histology as well as clinical development of chronic HCV.
Conclusion: IR and T2D have significant influence on the course of HCV and how well it responds to antivirals, which calls for targeted and efficient interventions to treat such metabolic abnormalities. Therefore, to enhance the therapeutic care of people with chronic HCV, a keen interpretation of the processes behind the glucose metabolic derangements associated with HCV is necessary.
Perspective Of Medical Ethical Practices in Health Care System of Pakistan
Authors: Ambreen Chaudhary Fariha
Published: March 2023

The obligations and duties of doctors, healthcare providers and hospitals towards patients, careers, and society are addressed by medical ethics.

There are a number of bioethics that are specific to the medical field and that apply to various medical institutions and professional groups. The Hippocratic Oath that healthcare professionals must take when joining the medical fraternity contains the legal, ethical, and moral obligations of doctors1 Patients' rights (autonomy), resource equity, patient confidentiality, justice, non-maleficence, beneficence, patient safety, conflict of interests, ethics of privatization, informed consent, handling of the opposite sex, beginning and end of life, and healthcare team ethics are the main ethical issues and principles2. Medical workers are required to follow a set of fundamental, widely accepted medical ethical rules in the realm of health care. In underdeveloped nations, patient treatment frequently disregards bioethical standards and patient privacy.

Although Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has its own code of medical ethics, there isn't much proof that it effectively polices ethical transgressions. In addition to flagrant violations of the code of conduct, it is frequently seen that informed permission, secrecy, and privacy are misused in "reasonable" ways3. At Pakistan's hospitals, both in the public and commercial sectors, there is insufficient adherence to ethical standards. Due to a lack of a strong system of monitoring and sanctions by the relevant Authorities, it is alleged that a lack of effective policy and regulation governing the ethical practice of medicine has a detrimental impact on the profession4

These issues are against the international standards of medical ethics, and the sad reality is that people are paying with their lives for many of the unethical practices because of these issues. Medical ethics and guidelines have been mandated by PMC and PHC for decades to avoid contentious issues and to include biomedical ethics in medical practices and curricula. The National Bioethics Committee was established in January 2004 with the approval of the Pakistani government. It has between 20 and 21 members and is led by the Director General of Health at the Ministry of Health. In contrast, the Centre of Biomedical Ethics and Culture (CBEC), which was established in 2004 at SIUT (Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation) and is the first of its kind in Pakistan, offers Master's degrees in bioethics and promotes bioethical education, research, and training in Pakistan5
South Asian Housewives; Are We Concerned Enough on Their Health?
Authors: Jayasinghe Madhura
Published: March 2023

Although South Asian females are known to be empowered with abilities and willingness to involve in different careers, the number of ‘housewives’ in the region is still high. That is mainly due to one redeeming quality of majority among the regional females; the greater concern towards their family and children. With such commitments and with recent changes of lifestyles and social values in South Asian food cultures, it was doubtful whether they are concerning on their own health and nutritional needs adequately.

To assess this scenario, a study was designed to determine whether the stipulated and such other reasons have an impact to daily nutrient intake of the individuals in the mentioned social segment, who represent the basement of the South Asian family system. Considering an age range between 20–55 years, 800 housewives were selected in Sri Lanka, by disproportionate stratified random sampling. Selected individuals were interviewed using a structured questionnaire, especially to assess their daily food combinations and their consumed portion sizes. Frequently consumed quantitative meal combinations were then chemically analyzed for their macronutrient compositions. Obtained results were compared with world Health organizations’ (WHO) Reference Dietary Intake (RDI) levels of nutrients. The results reveal of significantly (p<0.05) higher daily fat (65.3 ±5.6 g/day) and protein (86.7 ±4.5 g/day) intakes than WHO recommendation levels. However, comparatively lower, but non-significant (p>0.05) daily consumption of dietary fiber (34.3 ±3.3 g/day) levels by selected participants was observed. Digestible carbohydrate intake levels (302.1 ±22.8 g/day) were significantly (p<0.05) higher than reference levels. This indicates of a considerable risk for many individuals in the concerned social segment, of having non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia due to over-nutrition of “calorie generating macronutrients”.

The current study showed that the Q-angle of group A, which was made up of healthy male high school students, went up more than that of group B, which was made up of male high school students with flat feet.

Therefore, there is a strong connection between flat feet and a rising Q angle.Conclusion: This study concluded that greater BMI had a significant effect on flat foot as well as plantar arch index and Q angle.
Remaining Unreconciled: Philanthropy and Indigenous Governance in Canada
Authors: Lee Damien
Published: March 2023

While the Income Tax Act provides structure to philanthropic activity in Canada, an Indigenist reading of it shows that it is also a part of state-building at the expense of inherent Indigenous governance systems. By shaping philanthropic gift giving, this paper shows, the act plays a role in precluding inherent Indigenous leaders from accessing fiscal support based on their own political authority.

A pandémia alatti és utáni oktatási helyzetben az online környezetben történő tanulás hatékonyságának és eredményességének a növelésére az elvárásokkal arányosan fokozottabb figyelem irányult. A tanulási környezetek funkcionalitásának technikai továbbfejlesztése helyett a tanuló sajátosságaihoz igazított, részben adaptív kurzusfelületek fejlesztésével kapcsolatban mai napig nagyon kevés kísérleti jellegű kutatási eredmény áll rendelkezésünkre. A tanulók kognitív és affektív sajátosságai (motiváció, fáradtság, munkaterhelés, rekacióidő, fizikai állapot, mentális állapot) és a tanulási környezetben tapasztalt tanulási tevékenységük (képernyőre fókuszálás, szemmozgások elemzése, tanulási aktivitás) és teljesítményük összefüggésrendszerének jobb megismerésével hatékonyabb és a célcsoporthoz jobban igazodó kurzusfelületek fejleszthetők. A kognitív tesztekre, szemmozgáskövetésre, tevékenységelemzésre, megfigyelésre, illetve interjúra épített adatgyűjtéssel végzett kismintás kutatásunk alapján egyértelmű tendenciákra következtethettünk. A tanulócsoportok közötti különbségek mellett a rövid videófilmek, az oktatói hitelesség biztosítása, rövidebb írásos dokumentumok, illetve nagyobb számú gyakorló teljesítménytesztek a preferáltabb részei a hatékony online tanulási környezeteknek.

Gastro-protective Effect of Carica papaya Leaf Extracts on Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulcer in Rats
Authors: Aliyu Mukhtar , Said, Sani Said  , Abdullahi Muhammad Abdu
Published: March 2023

Carica papaya leaves are commonly used traditionally to treat many diseases, including peptic ulcers; however, these pharmacological claims and safety issues of the leaves have not been adequately resolved. The present study aims to evaluate the possible gastro-protective potential of Carica papaya aqueous and methanol leaf extracts on ethanol-induced ulcers.  Aqueous and Methanol extracts of C. papaya were prepared by percolation method and screened for phytochemicals using conventional method and Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometric methods. The gastro-protective effects of the extracts were determined using thirty (30) rats weighing 180 and 250 g were randomly divided into five groups. Group 1 served as the normal control (distilled water), groups 2 served as the (negative control), group 3 received 25mg/kg Omeprazole (standard drug) group 4 and 5 received 300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg of aqueous and methanol extracts of Carica papaya. Two weeks after the oral administration, gastric ulcer was induced in all rats with 95% ethanol (2 mL). The aqueous and methanol leaf extract of C. papaya showed a significant (p<0.05) dose-dependent protection against peptic ulcer. The effects produced by the methanol leaf extract of C. papaya were comparable to those of the standard drugs (Omeprazole). Phytochemical analysis of the aqueous and methanol leaves extracts of C. papaya revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, reducing sugar and saponins, some of which have been reported to elicit cytoprotective effect. Gas chromatographic analysis showed the presence of cytoprotective agents.  These findings show that aqueous and methanol extracts of the leaves of C. papaya possess potent antiulcer properties; hence justifies the traditional usage of this plant for ulcer treatment.

Sekundärzwecke bei Privatisierungen im Fokus des Beihilfenrechts
Authors: Stapf Johannes
Published: March 2023

In order to prevent negative effects of privatisations, public authorities often impose specific obligations on their private contractual partners, e.g. social and ecological duties. However, this approach limits the attraction of a bargain. It can thus reduce the proceeds and favour the contracting undertaking within the meaning of Art. 107 section 1 TFEU. This thesis analyses the requirements of EU State aid law with regard to such secondary purposes in the context of privatisations. It addresses the question whether these specific duties can be classified as SGEI or be priced into the return of a privatisation. The text also offers suggestions for a further development of the relevant EU State aid law practice.

Why is Britain a country where landslide victories for one party are still possible? This book is the first to analyse British electoral history since 1945, placing special emphasis on general elections from Thatcher to Johnson. A comparable study in English that combines insights into electoral developments and election research over this period of time has so far not been available. This new approach also allows surprising insights into election campaigns, electoral behaviour and social change that have so far guaranteed alternating two-party governments.
Co-Offending im Rahmen vorsätzlicher Tötungsdelikte
Authors: Nieße Charlotte
Published: March 2023

The phenomenon of co-offending has been well researched since the beginning of the last century at the latest. It is known from existing studies that so-called co-offending occurs especially in the case of property offences and that juvenile offenders make up the largest proportion of offenders that act in concert. Due to these circumstances, research has focused on these main areas for a long time. There are fewer findings on the field of violent crimes, however, especially homicides. In the opinion of various authors, a cross-crime analysis in this respect makes little sense because the differences between the crimes are too great. This study examines the phenomenon of jointly committed intentional homicides (attempted or completed) and differentiates between offences committed by groups and pairs. The offences are considered in their entirety, which means that both the pre-offence phase and the offence and post-offence phases are the subject of the study. In this way, the study aims to contribute to a better understanding of jointly committed homicides.

Peculiarità cristiana della nozione di male in Boezio
Authors: Ceci Vincenzo ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: March 2023

This article proposes the philosophical analysis of the concept of evil in Boethius, and the identification of its Christian distinctiveness. Which does not constitute a break with the Platonic tradition; it was precisely the constant confrontation with Platonic and Neo-Platonic philosophers that allowed Boethius to realise an original model of Christian philosophy. The text will proceed with the identification of the sources, both Neo-Platonic and Christian, and among the latter especially the Augustinian ones. The comparison with Augustine will be addressed in the last paragraph. The result will be an understanding of evil dialectically elaborated with Neo-Platonic material, but respectful of the precipitous demands of Christian doctrine, and augmented by the reflection of evangelical ideals, as a moment of the broad and original synthesis of philosophy and Christianity offered by the De Consolatione Philosophiae.

Socrates’ method can be compared with that of Christ, since both often answer the questions of their interlocutors with another question, which the article calls a counter-question. The article first examines the literature on questions in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, and focuses on the works of Douglas Estes, Paul Elbert, Christof Müller and Martin Leutzsch. It then focuses on the counter-questions that Christ asks in Luke’s Gospel, in order to highlight how Christ wants his interlocutors to participate in a pedagogical dynamic in the dialogue they establish with him by means of their own questions.

Incidental Coronary Artery Disease on Routine CT Coronary Angiography –An evidence-based approach
Authors: Sharma Vinod
Published: March 2023

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the leading cause of high morbidity and mortality across the globe [1]. Coronary CT angiography has emerged as a highly accurate non-invasive diagnostic modality for the diagnosis of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease [2]. Coronary CT angiography should be considered as an alternative to stress imaging technique for ruling out atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in patients with the lower range of intermediate pre-test probability for atherosclerotic stable coronary artery disease. However, coronary CT angiography is not recommended as a screening test in asymptomatic individuals without clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease. CT Coronary angiography has been performed routinely before many of the cardiac and non-cardiac procedures like TAVI, atrial fibrillation ablation prior to the organ transplantation. Many a times, advised by Family Physician or patients themselves for a routine screening for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease undergo CT coronary angiography. When incidental atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is found in such patients who do not have any typical or atypical symptom suggestive of coronary artery disease then question arises how to approach this patient as far as the risk estimation for future adverse cardiovascular event and prognostication is concerned. It also becomes imperative to decide the line of management for this patient. To answer these two pertinent questions, we need to understand the behavior and natural history of atherosclerosis & performance of CT coronary angiography in diagnosis and in predicting the prognosis of atherosclerotic disease.

Authors: Oyarzo Juan Fernando , Jusakos Manolis , Greene Charles , Ohrbach Richard
Published: March 2023

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are complex multi-system disorders for which common traditional dental-centric approaches to research and care unfortunately continue to prevail. A committee appointed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAM) of the United States of America summarized important recommendations regarding the urgent need to transform, from the predominantly biomedical model, the research, professional education/training, and patient care for TMDs into the biopsychosocial model that is standard in the rest of pain medicine. The release of the Consensus Study Report identifies eleven short-term and long-term recommendations regarding gaps and opportunities oriented towards the situation in the US, which are equally applicable to the situation in Chile. The first four recommendations focus on basic and translational research, public health research and strengthening clinical research. The next three recommendations concern risk assessment, diagnostics, and dissemination of clinical practice guidelines and care metrics to improve patient care and expand its access. Recommendations eight to ten propose Centers of Excellence for Temporomandibular Disorders and Orofacial Pain Treatment, improving professional school education, and expanding specialized continuing education for healthcare providers. The eleventh recommendation focuses on patient education and stigma reduction. This article highlights the published recommendations and addresses what should be considered by Chilean professionals, as a first step of a major effort to shift TMD research, treatment, and education paradigms for the years to come.

The Soul of a Free Government: The Influence of John Adams’s A Defence on the Constitutional Convention
Authors: Bilder Mary Sarah
Published: March 2023

Contrary to the conventional modern view, John Adams’s A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America (1787) was deeply influential on the Constitutional Convention. Adams’s constitutional system, though not original with him, provided a useful synthesis that emphasized balance as a working principle, checks as the operational corollary, and institutional structures reflecting the many, the few, and the one. Through the contemporaneous serialization in the Pennsylvania Mercury beginning May 11, 1787, this system and Adams’s conceptual terminology were read by key Framers and infusedthe Convention debates. The debate over the Virginia plan responded to Adams’s structural arguments and revealed the instability of the word “monarchy.” During the subsequent debate over the Senate, Adams’s ambivalence over “aristocracy” led to recognition of the new American aristocracy of white slaveowners. Finally, the Committee of Style and Arrangement draft, despite abandoning Adams’s vocabulary, closely paralleled his structural recommendations. The apparent irrelevancy of the Defence to modern scholars arose, ironically, from its crystallization of then-conventional wisdom, the very feature that resonated with so many delegates and generated its significant influence on the Convention. Adams’s Defense thus provides one more example that the Convention’s decisions cannot be understood without including the larger Framing generation.
A Low-Cost Fiber Optic Visible Microspectrometer for the Small Forensic Science Laboratory

The logical first step in any traditional forensic visual examination of trace evidence samples is color comparison. However, comparing the color of two objects to determine if a common origin exists is largely subjective, unless the colors are far apart on the spectrum. To aid in the discrimination process, instrumental methods such as microspectrophotometry have been employed. A number of commercial units have been available over the years to make transmission, reflectance, and fluorescence measurements on these types of evidence, although many of these current and past units are quite costly. This paper describes the use of an Ocean Optics USB-2000+ fiber optic array detector (spectrometer) connected to existing laboratory microscopes and a laptop PC for such measurements. This spectrometer performed more than adequately for the determination of reflectance and transmission visible spectra of glass chips and dyed fibers.

Tricks of the Trade | An Alternative to the Traditional Coverslip Gripper, Particle Disperser, and Crusher

Published: March 2023

When using glass slides, glass coverslips, and liquid mounting media for sample preparation in light microscopy, it is essential to have well-dispersed particles in order to facilitate the characterization and identification of individual particles. The traditional way to disperse or redistribute particles under the coverslip and flatten the mounting medium is by using the eraser end of an ordinary pencil as a means to “grip” the glass coverslip and move it around by hand pressure in a controlled manner using the pencil shaft as a handle. By pressing the eraser on the coverslip and sliding the coverslip in a circular pattern, particles are dispersed individually and the mounting medium is more easily flattened and spread throughout the underside of the coverslip.
