A unique presentation of peliosis hepatis: A case report and comprehensive review of the literature
Authors: Teshon Alex , Walker Crystal , P Schammel David , Marie-Gilligan Schammel Christine , Devane A Michael
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign vascular condition characterized by dilatation of hepatic sinusoids with occasional involvement of other organs. While associated with chronic immunosuppression, anabolic steroid use, oral contraceptive (OCP) use, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), and infection with Bartonella, most PH patients are asymptomatic and, thus, identified incidentally. Compromised liver function is sometimes evident through laboratory tests; however, mortality results from cyst rupture and hemorrhage spontaneously or during surgical procedures.

Case Report: We report a case of PH identified in a 33-year-old Black female radiologically evaluated for abnormal liver function tests. Computed tomography (CT) revealed enhancement of >100 lesions throughout both liver lobes; a CT-guided biopsy revealed mild macrovesicular steatosis and marked sinusoidal dilation, consistent with peliosis hepatis.

Conclusion: We also present a comprehensive literature review describing the associated conditions, pathology, diagnostic methods, and treatment options for PH patients.

Authors: Natarajan Deepak , Rana Poonam
Published: June 2023

A 51-year-old woman who had received 2 injections of a ChAdOx1 vaccine in 2021 and a booster dose in 2022 was recently admitted for central chest pain accompanied with palpitations for the previous 2 weeks. She was negative for the COVID-19 virus, troponin was not elevated, both the 12-lead electrocardiogram and 2D echocardiogram were normal. At peak exercise during exercise treadmill test she developed a single ventricular couplet, but coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. A 24-hour electrocardiogram recording revealed symptomatic non-sustained ventricular tachycardia while she was in bed. A 3T cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated late gadolinium sub-epicardial uptake at the left ventricle apex suggesting fibrosis. The patient was diagnosed as late presentation of myocarditis following ChAdOx1 vaccination, and was discharged on oral amiodarone and colchicine.

Practices and determinants of self-medication among undergraduate medical students of Peshawar, Pakistan
Authors: Tila Salma , Shams Hina , Jamil Mubashira , Sajawal Aasma , Javed Namra , Shuja Muhammad Ibrahim , Khalid Salma
Published: June 2023

Self-medication, which often includes over-the-counter (OTC) medications, is described as a global public health issue affecting a vast number of individuals. The rate of self-medication has risen considerably among medical students, as evidenced by various published studies. Self-medication was reported to be quite common (88.4%) when 389 medical students were polled about it. The frequency were found higher in female students (66.3%) as compared to male students (22.1%) with significant p-value (p=0.007). The most frequently used items were painkillers (77.57%), antipyretics (52.06%), cough and cold medications (48.71%), antitussives (40.20%) and antibiotics (30.92%). They primarily purchased self-medication supplies from pharmacies and extensively relied on family members and their own prior medical experiences for knowledge on the medications they used (p<0.05). However, among these medical students, the idea of self-medication is well-established because they realized that mild illnesses could be treated without visiting a doctor.  High levels of education and professional success have been said to be indicators of self-medication. The results suggest that in order to prevent the rising trend of self-medication, rigorous laws should be implemented that prohibit the distribution of pharmaceuticals without a valid prescription. The risks of self-medication should be made known to young people, especially females.

Authors:   University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya, Nyamboki Japheth Rasugu
Published: June 2023

Globally masonry workers are often exposed to work-related risks resulting to development of musculoskeletal disorder and associated diseases affecting their body's movements. Despite the gains made, existing workplace risk management preventive and control methods have not adequately addressed this problem. The investigation was on the role of organizational culture in the management of musculoskeletal disorders of masonry workers in Building Construction Works, Nairobi County. Multiple-case study methods were employed to complete the inquiry. The study was guided by the complexity theory. A review of the existing literature in the field of the study was carried, and the knowledge gap for the study identified. The field data was collected using questionnaires and interview guides. Paired null and alternative hypotheses for the study were defined. The data collected was subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis for logical patterns, relationships and level of statistical significance. The key findings of the study showed involvement of masonry workers in risk management decision-making, work performance, process audits and reviews. The Pearson correlation results (P<= 0.05) showed that organizational culture was positively related to workers musculoskeletal disorder of masonry workers. The regression model summary results of the study indicated that R =.576, implying that the organization's culture, OSH government policies, and challenges correlated at .576. The study results for the coefficient for multiple-regression determination (R- squared) was .332, implying that the changes in independent variables influenced changes in the dependent variable by 33.2%. Other factors beyond the scope of this study explained the remainder 66.8% out of 100% of the changes. However, the figure does not reveal information about the causation relationship between the independent and dependent variables or indicate the correctness of the regression model. Keywords: Role of Organization Culture, management, Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders, masons, building construction workplaces.

Unleashing gender: Dependency, subjectivity and recognition in dominant/submissive relationships
Authors: Smith Sarah A.
Published: June 2023

Within psychoanalysis, BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, sadism and masochism) has typically been interpreted as pathological, resulting from the (gendered) tension between assertion and recognition developed in the oedipal phases and enforced in dominant ideology. To practitioners, however, BDSM recognises the physical and psychological dependence of people on each other. The tasks inherent to successful BDSM redefine traditional masculine and feminine identity; dominants recognise their own dependence and submissives are independently powerful. Expanding on feminist psychoanalytic theory, this paper argues that BDSM relations may embody the psychologically ideal state of ‘mutual recognition.’ Practitioners take pleasure in connection without the threat of engulfment. Significantly, the skills developed in BDSM may help mediate a variety of interpersonal and institutional power relations.
The construction of an open time dimension in narratives about the becoming of lesbian and gay families: An act of resistance
Authors: Nelson Karin Zetterqvist
Published: June 2023

This article draws on a study of lesbian and gay (LG) families with children. Narratives about the long and often challenging road to become a family with children have been analysed. In speaking as a LG parent, hegemonic narratives about reproduction and parenthood as a matter for heterosexuals, in a twoparent family structure, are resisted. However, resistance is also displayed through the way time dimension is conveyed in the telling of stories. Instead of assuming a single temporality the narrative analysis is based on multiple concepts of time, so called bakhtinian ‘multiple chronotopes’. In the article the complex relation between counter narrative and master narrative is discussed in relation to the construction of temporality. It is proposed that the LG identity of parents does not per se suffice to produce resistance. Four specific stories have been analysed.
Empty spaces, new possibilities
Authors: Hicks Stephen
Published: June 2023

This article responds to contributions to the special issue of Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review, volume 7(1), on lesbian, gay, polyamorous and queer parenting and families. The author draws upon Foucault’s work to suggest that new relational possibilities might be imagined via the practices of lesbian and gay parenting. After briefly reviewing his own involvement in research on gay and lesbian foster care and adoption, the author goes on to discuss questions about gender role models, methodological debates on the nature of research knowledge, and the emergence of narrative/discourse analysis within lesbian and gay parenting studies. The author discusses and responds to a number of problems raised by the contributors, and emphasises an approach to gay and lesbian parenting studies based upon a discursive concern with power/knowledge.
Kiss Me Kate: A new view of women and sex
Authors: Adams Naomi
Published: June 2023

The way that we conceptualise sexual difficulties is always dependent on what we construe as ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ sexual functioning. Active female sexuality has historically been seen as more problematic and controversial than male (hetero)sexuality. Traditional models of sexual response have been often been based on male dominated paradigms of penile-vaginal sex and as such provide a limited basis for understanding the range of female sexuality. This article describes some of the limitations of traditional classification systems and some of the recent developments in our understanding of female sexual difficulties, are, I would argue, more helpful than others. However, it also acknowledges that we can never step outside of our own values and beliefs and invites the reader to consider the ways that we as clinicians conceptualise our work and the impact that this has on our clients.
Resisting the binary: Discourses of identity and diversity in bisexual politics 1988–1996
Authors: Bowes-Catton Helen
Published: June 2023

In this article, post-structural discourse analysis is used to examine discourses of identity in the political literature of the UK bisexual movement during the period 1988-1996. Two competing discursive strategies are identified, both of which draw on academic discourses of essentialism and constructionism to articulate resistance to dominant binary categories of sexuality. The first of these strategies seeks to establish bisexuality as essential and authentic, dismissing homosexuality and heterosexuality as socially constructed. The second presents bisexuality as unifying and liberating, compared to divisive and restrictive binary categories.
Perceptions of people who use heterosexist and non-heterosexist language by people of different sexual orientations
Authors: Reisner Michael , Holmes Tabitha R.
Published: June 2023

Participants who self-identified as heterosexual (N=149) and queer (N=141) were asked to read a vignette containing a character who used either heterosexist or non-heterosexist language. Queer participants were expected to rate the character using non-heterosexist language as more: (a) supportive of queer rights; (b) exposed to queer people; (c) likely to be queer; (d) open to new ideas; (e) politically liberal; and (f) someone with whom they could be friends than heterosexual participants. Results showed that both groups made attributions based on language; however, queer participants made stronger attributions. One explanation for our findings suggests that queer individuals, particularly males, may have a greater need to be vigilant in their identification of supportive others.
To reveal or not to reveal, that is the question
Authors: Sand Shara
Published: June 2023

Sharing one’s sexual orientation can be a public or private experience. Coming out in the classroom can impact both the teaching and learning process. The decision to come out to my students when I began teaching a class on sexual orientation was stressful and complicated. It was not a spontaneous revelation, but a conscious and deliberate choice. In retrospect, it was one of the most important decisions I have made in my teaching career and one I have never regretted. Teaching and learning are companions; I and my students have learned much from my stating, ‘I am a lesbian’ in the classroom.
Analysis of the category ‘Gay Identity’: Situated knowledge in Mexico
Authors: Lozano-Verduzco Ignacio , Rocha Sánchez Tania E.
Published: June 2023

Identity is a dialectic, permanent process between the person and their surrounding contexts. This paper analyses the production of a gay identity within a context of strict gender and sexuality norms that exclude homoeroticism. Because of heteronormativity, any identities outside this system suffer from stigma. We analyse Mexico’s gay movement to understand how ‘gay’ and ‘homosexual’ have become identity categories that help understand where the gay movement in Mexico stands, and its impact on identity development. Through a literary revision and critique, we conclude that gay identity makes the stigma against homoeroticism visible, but moves towards the normalisation of sexual expression. Because of this normalisation, ‘gay identity’ must be a temporary term that should be questioned and deconstructed since it assumes that all people who identify with it are homogenous, and does not recognise sexual fluidity.
Collaboratively setting the priorities for health and social care research for older lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans* people
Authors: Nagington Maurice , Dickinson Tommy , Hicks Stephen , Pilling Mark
Published: June 2023

This paper reports on a novel approach to setting research priorities relevant to the needs of older LGBT people. Research is growing in this area and has recognised the negative impact of contemporary and historical discrimination towards non-normative genders and sexualities. The results of a symposium, survey and agreement analysis are presented to identify the levels of priority placed on 60 different research topics. Discussion focuses on the novelty and/or similarity to existing research patterns on LGBT ageing, as well as prioritising topics such as: how to include unheard voices; exploring trans* people’s experiences and preferences around long-term hormone use; and, embedding research findings into policy and practice.
Increasing intimacy and pleasure while reducing risk: Reasons for barebacking in a sample of Canadian and American gay and bisexual men
Authors: Marcus Natania , Gillis Joseph Roy
Published: June 2023

Recent advancements in HIV treatment and prevention call for a re-imagination of our definition and understanding of bareback sex. The present online study used content analysis to examine 256 gay and bisexual men (GBM)’s definitions, reasons, contexts and feelings about barebacking in Canada and the US. Themes were related to defining barebacking, psychosexual benefits and narratives of risk. Findings suggest that barebacking increases relational intimacy, and that GBM use harm reduction strategies (such as seropositioning and PrEP) to reduce risk of HIV transmission. Previous literature has pathologised the act without considering how GBM who bareback may enhance pleasure and intimacy while reducing HIV risk. HIV-prevention efforts should focus on increasing access to PrEP, adherence to ARVs and efficacy of harm reduction strategies for GBM who bareback.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures and memory impairment is a common side effect of epileptic treatment. The present study was conceptualized to evaluate the protective effect of the nootropic herbal drink MulminaTM against memory impairment induced by Gabapentin in a pentylenetetrazole-induced epileptic mouse model. The antiepileptic and memory impairment activity were found to be significantly (p<0.05) higher in the gabapentin group, whereas the combination of gabapentin + MulminaTM significantly (p<0.05) increased antiepileptic and decreased the memory impairment activity. Furthermore, Mulmina, alone exhibited synergistic antiepileptic and memory enhancement activity. Thus, combining herbal drugs/nootropics with anti-epileptic drugs provides synergistic activity while lowering the dose of synthetic drugs, which may cause more adverse effects in the human body. The results of this study show that gabapentin has memory impairment potential and that it can be corrected by co-administration of MulminaTM. However, future research is warranted to assess the underlying molecular mechanism of memory enhancing activity of MulminaTM against gabapentin induced memory impairment.

The goal of this research was to create a stable formulation of gabapentin solid lipid nanoparticles which would allow it to pass across the blood-brain barrier more easily. They were prepared by solvent evaporation method. In the present investigation, beeswax and carnauba wax were used as solid lipids, egg lecithin was used as a surfactant and Tween 80 was used as a co-surfactant. Nine formulations were formulated using different concentrations of solid lipid and surfactant. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various tests. The results shown that F6 formulation, containing higher concentration of egg lecithin, was a better formulation as percentage drug content was 97.57±0.62%, entrapment efficiency was 95.95±0.07% and in vitro release of gabapentin was 97.18±1.02% at the end of 12 h. After in vivo testing, it was observed that animals treated with gabapentin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles had seizures that appeared later than animals treated with traditional gabapentin formulations. Hence it was concluded that solid lipid nanoparticles is a promising drug delivery system to achieve increased permeability through blood brain barrier.

Because of its far-reaching effects, diabetes remains a major health problem on a worldwide scale. It's a metabolic illness that causes hyperglycemia and a host of other health issues, including cardiovascular disease, renal failure, and neuropathy. Many scientists have spent time and energy over the years trying to develop a reliable diabetes prediction model. Researchers are forced to adopt big data analytics and machine learning (ML)-based methodologies since there are still major open research concerns in this area owing to a lack of acceptable data sets and prediction techniques. This study seeks solutions by way of an examination of healthcare predictive analytics. The major purpose of this research was to explore the potential applications of big data analytics and machine learning-based approaches in the field of diabetes. In this study, we used the neutrosophic AHP as a feature selection method. The neutrosophic AHP is used to compute the importance of features, then apply the machine learning methods to these features. This study applied logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) to predict the disease of diabetes.

An Exploration of Motivations for Users Purchase Intention in Live-Streaming E-Commerce from a Perspective of Social Impact Theory
Authors: Liu Zihan
Published: June 2023

Live-streaming (LS) e-commerce has become popular since it appeared in China in 2019. In light of this, this research explored the motivations for peoples purchase intention in LS under the theoretical framework of the Social Impact Theory (SIT). 160 questionnaires were collected and analyzed. Additionally, relevant analysis on the platform Douyin was conducted. Results showed that streamers, other customers, and the LS platform contribute to affecting peoples purchase intention. Specifically speaking, the strength of streamers (how professional and popular they are) influences peoples trust; the number of other customers and their comments mediated peoples purchase intention; the immediacy of Douyin (how the platform makes the communication and purchase easier) also has an impact on the purchase intention
Post-Truth Era: Gender-Related Reversal Events Taking the Case of Ying Liang and Guanjun Luo as an Example
Authors: Li Mei
Published: June 2023

Given the high transmission efficiency and the vast loads of users on social media platforms, Weibo in China is used by victims to reveal immoral or illegal behaviors to the public. In the post-truth era, an individual's subjectivity on the Internet outweighs objective truths in exerting significant impact. Taking the event of 'Ying Liang and Guanjun Luo' as an example, this study analyzes how digital culture constructed and reinforced public opinion direction by citing statistics on https://ef.zhiweidata.com and several representative comments on Weibo. It can be concluded that the priming effect influences how people evaluate this case and the development of public opinions. Furthermore, this reversal event eventually caused a decline in public trust among netizens, created more obstacles for other female victims who genuinely needed help, and induced a discredit towards feminists radically participating in supporting the female victim.

Authors: Wang Yi
Published: June 2023

Nowadays, consumption has become an indispensable part of people's lives, and people enjoy the satisfaction brought by consumption. The rapid development of e-commerce and express delivery industries has boosted consumption. And women as the main consumer group for the Internet economy have brought a new trend. With the increase in women's income and the improvement of social status, women have gradually become the main body of virtual consumption that can not be ignored. In response to this situation, some new media platforms began to cater to the needs of female consumers, resulting in a gender imbalance. Xiaohongshu is popular among female users through "note-sharing" and e-commerce. Using the Xiaohongshu platform as a case to analyze women's consumption behavior in new media. This paper mainly studies the characteristics of female consumption behavior in the era of rapid development of new media. By means of literature analysis and case analysis, this paper studies female consumer groups.

This paper introduced the manifestations and formation of traditional linguistic sexism in the English world, elaborated on the new characteristics of linguistic sexism in the era of social media, and analyzed the effects of social media on linguistic sexism and gender equity. In general, social media makes gender equality present two trends. On the new characteristics, social media has reshaped linguistic sexism deeply in two ways: one is the anonymity of social media that has changed the traditional communication mechanism and incited hostile linguistic sexism; the other is social medias openness and interactivity that has increased the risk of linguistic sexism as well as the quarrel over gender issues. On the prospect of gender equity in the era of social media, this paper concluded two effects: one is the promotion of gender equity awareness, and the other is the risk of group polarization of attitudes towards gender issues

Reformation of Dispute Settlement Mechanisms for International Trade Organizations: Ensuring Developing Country Interests
Authors: Zhong Jia
Published: June 2023

Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) are frequently advantageous for developing countries and can help them prepare for future trade opportunities provided by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Developing countries face a dilemma when disputes occur within an RTA; the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) tends to be too costly and inaccessible, while RTA dispute settlement mechanisms (DSM) tend to be underdeveloped and immature. In order to minimize the cost of dispute resolution and better safeguard the interests of developing nations and regional trade agreements, which are frequently more beneficial to developing countries, this paper describes why and how the WTO should change its dispute settlement procedures. It also argues that these systems should be established to make the WTO's dispute resolution mechanisms more effective.
Deficiencies of the Nationally Determined Contributions: Risk of Exacerbating Climate Change
Authors: Guo Pengyu
Published: June 2023

This paper examines the effectiveness of NDCs in the Paris Agreement for alleviating climate change and inequality. Incorporating evidence from reviews and journals, this study argues that NDCs effectively solve part of the pre-existing inequality, yet the deficiencies of this mechanism have to be improved to achieve the maximization of its function. More specifically, by evaluating the changes brought by NDCs including independent emission reduction, the improved role of developed country parties, and the re-positioned role of developing country parties, the innovations of NDCs mechanism to successfully solve the pre-existing problems in the Kyoto Protocol are clearly recognized and demonstrated. Yet by analyzing the existing deficiencies of NDCs including weak legal binding causing overall low ambition, potential vicious cycle formed, insufficient compliance motivation, and the problem of free riders causing the tragedy of Race to the Bottom, NDCs are shown to be insufficient to effectively address climate change and respond to inequality. Finally, it is worth considering strengthening the participation of non-state actors and enhancing the link between climate change and trade as possible methods to improve the deficiencies of NDCs, and other possible ways of improvement are put forward.

Authors: Sun Zikun
Published: June 2023

It has been widely known that exercise can improve physical health by decreasing the probability of certain illnesses, such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. There are fewer experiments substantiating the correlation between exercise and mental health though. This article focuses on analyzing gender differences in motivation and frequency in popular team sports through qualitative analysis and literature review, as well as the influences of these differences on mental health. There are experiments on similar topics, but few literature reviews compare motivation and frequency between genders in exercise while applying the difference to mental health. Therefore, this article focuses on using multiple conclusions from previous research and analysis for a deeper application and meaning. Ultimately, this paper concludes that women are more likely to exercise for health, fitness, and weight loss, while men are more likely to exercise for health, fitness, and enjoyment. There is not a significant difference between women and men in terms of frequency of exercise, but women in general have a lower degree of satisfaction with their quality of life than men do.
