Objective: To investigate the effect of pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) on Optic nerve head blood flow with OCT angiography in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted at Eye Unit III, Institute of Ophthalmology, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, over a period of seven months i.e. from 10th May 2019 to 10th November 2019. Thirty-five patients having proliferative diabetic retinopathy were included in this study. Ocular blood flow was measured with OCT Angiography, then pan retinal photocoagulation was performed and patients were called for follow-up after one month and ocular blood flow was measured again with OCT Angiography. The difference in the blood flow was calculated. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for the categorical data and mean and standard deviations were calculated for the continuous data. Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test was performed and effects of PRP on blood flow were compared. Significance level was taken as p≤0.05.
Results: Out of 35 patients, 30 patients (85.71%) had decreased post PRP blood flow, four patients (11.43%) had increased post PRP blood flow and one patient (2.86%) did not have any effect.
Conclusion: OCT angiography revealed there is significantly reduced optic nerve head blood flow in PRP treated eyes compared to non-PRP treated eyes.

Published: June 2020

Objective: To determine maternal and perinatal outcome after Ramadan fasting during pregnancy
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Nishtar Hospital, Multan from May to October 2019. A total of 226 women attending labour room, aged 18–35 years, having gestational amenorrhoea 15 – 40 weeks of gestation were included. Women who fasted for more than 15 days were compared with those who did not fast or fasted for less than 15 days in the month of Ramadan. Demographical profile along with maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared between the study groups considering p value less than 0.05 as significant.
Results: Out of 226 women, 58 (25.7%) fulfilled the criteria to be included in the fasting group while remaining 168 (74.3%) were slotted in the non-fasting group. There was no difference (p value > 0.05) in between the both group with respect to demographical characteristics except significantly less women were employed in the fasting group (p value=0.0246). No statistical difference was found in terms of maternal or perinatal outcomes between both the study groups.
Conclusion: Fasting women were not found to have poor maternal and fetal outcomes when compared to non-fasting women.

Authors: Horup Mette Boeg , Soegaard Knaerke , Kjølhede Tue , Fremmelevholm Aase , Kidholm Kristian 
Published: June 2020

Introduction:At Odense University Hospital (OUH) alternating-air mattresses (AAM) are used in the prevention of pressure ulcers (PU); however, static overlays might be more effective and have lower costs. To investigate the properties and consequences of using static overlays for prevention of PU at OUH, a hospital-based health technology assessment (HTA) was conducted.Methods:Two types of static overlays were tested in an observational study and compared with AAM for patients with a medium–high risk of PU in geriatric and orthopaedic wards at OUH. Incidence of PU was investigated 7 months before (n=720) and 6 months after implementation (n=837). Staff attitudes were examined in a questionnaire survey (n=55) and focus group interviews (n=13). Patients who had tried one of the overlays and the AAM were interviewed (n=12).Results:No statistical difference in PU incidence was found before and after the implementation of overlays (2.5% before, 2.7% after, P=0.874, n=1557) and no patients lying on overlays developed PU (n=123). Staff had mixed attitudes, but the majority preferred having overlays as an option for their patients. Interviewed patients preferred overlays due to less noise and improved mobility.Conclusion:Both types of overlay are effective in PU prevention. However, overlays introduce challenges for staff and clear guidelines for the selection of support surfaces are needed. Overall, it is recommended that static overlays are considered as an alternative to AAM for PU prevention.

Introduction
Dilated cardiomyopathy is one of the most frequent causes of heart failure in the world, which is now considered a major public health problem both in developed countries where it is predominant, especially in the elderly, over 65 years of age and in patients on long-term treatment for heart disease, and in underdeveloped countries.The diagnosis of cardiomyopathies is essentially based on para-clinical examinations, more precisely on echocardiography. In Haiti, cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of hospitalization and mortality. These diseases are the main causes of hospitalization at the Hospital of the State University of Haiti (HUEH), the largest hospital in the country, and represent 30% of all cases received in the internal medicine department.
Methodology
This is a retrospective quantitative study conducted on a sample of patients in the Cardiology Unit of the Internal Medicine Department of the Hospital of the State University of Haiti (HUEH).The study was conducted on 54 patients registered in the Cardiology Unit, during the period from January 8, 2014 to June 11, 2014 for heart failure.
Result and discussion
The 50 patients showed a predominance for women, 31 (62%) versus 19 (38%) for men, P=0.04. The results of our study showed that the majority of patients are female (62%), which is similar to the last study conducted on the unit by Dr. Malebranche, who found 62.4%The data showed that the reference examination for the confirmatory diagnosis of cardiomyopathy is echocardiography, with 92% of diagnoses. It should be noted that the other diagnoses were made on an echocardiographic basis but were not complete. These findings are similar to data from a recently published Swedish study in which cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by echocardiography in 99.6% of cases. For chest radiography, 100% of cases have cardiomegaly.65.96% of all heart failure cases are dilated cardiomyopathies compared to undiluted cardiomyopathies 14.89%, p<0.0001

Authors: Shihab Muhammad Iqbal , Syahputra Gita 
Published: June 2020

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB infection spreads through the air and is more likely when using inappropriate disinfectants in medical and laboratory equipment related to TB research. Appropriate disinfectants used for laboratory equipment can reduce the risk of TB disease transmission. Alcohol compound is a common disinfectant with broad-spectrum activity against microbes, viruses, and fungi. Molecular Docking can be applied to support virtual receptor-ligand screening in finding the right mycobactericidal agent as a disinfectant candidate from the alcohol group. Based on docking analysis, octadecanol (C18) has potential as a mycobactericidal agent with InhA as its specific receptor. Gibbs (ΔG) free energy obtained by octadecanol (C18) and InhA is -4.9 kcal/mol.

Published: June 2020

Abstract

The addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to the armamentarium of cancer therapies has resulted in unprecedented improvement in clinical outcomes for a vast range of malignancies. Because they interfere with the physiologic function of immune checkpoints, such as programmed cell death protein 1 or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4, to promote self-tolerance, these agents are associated with a unique spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Immune-mediated endocrinopathies are among the most commonly noted irAEs. Immune-mediated diabetes is an uncommon irAE but can be associated with significant morbidity if it is not recognized and treated in a time-sensitive manner. In this manuscript, we present a case based discussion and review of the literature pertaining to immune-mediated diabetes associated with immune checkpoint blockade.

Key Points
Immune checkpoint inhibitor associated diabetes mellitus often resembles type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) in its pathophysiology and clinical manifestations. However, some patients may present with type 2 DM or worsening hyperglycemia in the setting of pre-existent DM. Early recognition and management is key to preventing life-threatening events such as diabetic ketoacidosis. Endocrinology referral and interdisciplinary management should be considered for every patient to optimize glycemic control and to ensure optimal monitoring for long-term microvascular complications.

В последние десятилетия ХХ века во многих странах наблюдался процесс городского сжатия, основной чертой которого стала устойчивая депопуляция. В России среди наиболее депопулирующих – города с численностью населения до 100 тыс. чел. (малые и средние города). Новая демографическая реальность, обусловливающая изменение городской среды и инфраструктурных требований, предполагает переосмысление городского планирования. Целью работы является анализ проектируемого пространственного развития малых и средних городов, позволяющий определить используемые в России стратегии долгосрочного планирования в условиях значительной убыли численности населения. Кроме того, внимание уделяется связи между выбором стратегии и интересами основных акторов городского развития и их коалиций. Данные получены в ходе анализа генеральных планов 132  городов и полуструктурированных интервью с представителями администраций, бизнеса и локальных сообществ в Воркуте (Республика Коми) и Апатитах (Мурманская область). Результаты анализа генеральных планов свидетельствуют, что сжатие, за редким исключением, игнорируется как текущая и будущая реальность. Ключевой темой городского планирования является создание условий для максимизации прибыли от использования недвижимости и земли. Воркута оказалась единственным городом из  проанализированных, где применяется стратегия адаптации к сжатию, в чем заинтересован ряд акторов, которые образуют альянсы для снижения издержек. Апатиты – типичный пример планирования на рост в условиях сжатия ввиду отсутствия интересантов смены планировочной стратегии, а также непонимания комплексности феномена и  его  последствий.
