Published: April 2021

Abstract
The basis of coronavirus disease is an infectious process, accompanied by a varying degree of activity of pathological processes. Based on the study of the pathological course of infection, modern approaches to the treatment and prevention of complications of coronavirus infection are presented. The main strategic pathogenetic direction in the creation of effective programs for the treatment of COVID-19, as well as the prevention of fatal complications, should be a set of measures enhancing permissive regulatory influences and events. Endothelium, being a source of inflammatory mediators and a transducer of their regulatory effects on the vascular tone, is involved in the development and alternation of vascular reactions, changing the volume of perfusion. The main mechanism for the development of endothelial dysfunction and damage is associated with an imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species and the power of the antioxidant defense system. Any measures to protect the endothelium, reducing the severity of microcirculatory disorders and hypoxia, will have a therapeutic and preventive effect on fatal complications. In this regard, in the treatment of COVID-19, the use of synthetic gas transport preparations based on perfluorocarbon nanodispersed emulsions with a clinical effect directed at once to several patho-genetic links underlying the progression of COVID-19 disease can be quite effective. The necessity of a comprehensive effect on pathogenesis using sanogenetic principles of treatment, allowing influencing the speed and time of onset of resolution of inflammation, which can reduce the number of complications and deaths of the disease, is substantiated.

Abstract

Objective
The objective of the study was to analyse and compare the subjective quality of life (S-QoL) of women with physical disabilities (PDs) through satisfaction with the quality of life domains and the overall quality of life assessment.

Methods
The sample comprised of women with PDs (n=137), divided into 4 age categories: 19-29 yrs. (n=53); 30-44 yrs. (n=25); 45-59 yrs. (n=24) and over 60 yrs. (n=35). The Subjective Quality of Life Analyses questionnaire and the WHO User Manual were used as a primary research method. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to assess the differences between QoLDs, Kruskal Wallis test to assess differences in S-QoL among four independent groups and Mann Whitney U-test between two age categories.

Results
The highest satisfaction in all age categories of women was found in the social relations domain, and in the 19-29 yr-old women equally in the social relations and physical health domains. The highest dissatisfaction was reported with the psychological health and environment domains. The key finding is that the main differences are between the youngest category (aged 19-29 yrs) and the three older categories with regard to physical health, environment and overall QoL.

Conclusions
It is necessary to continue this line of research with a greater focus on exploring the ways in which the psychological health domain can be improved as an integral part of S-QoL, and to also focus on the QoL indicators that make up the environment domain and search for ways to enhance these.
Design and Analysis Methods for Composite Bonded Joints

Published: April 2021

Abstract
A literature review on existing design and analysis methods for composite adhesively bonded joints has been conducted. Methods that might form a basis for development of practical engineering methodology for adhesively bonded joints were selected and described. Starting from the simplest and the fastest analytical methods (closed-form solutions): average shear stress, shear lag model and adhesive beam model through more complex and more time consuming numerical methods supported by finite element analysis: global models, local models, cohesive zone models. Assumptions and applicability of each method was discussed. Simple and fast methods in order to be reliable have to include many conservative assumptions and therefore may lead to over-designed structure (weight penalty). Structural optimization and weight reduction require the usage of more complex and time consuming methods. Therefore, selection of adequate methods should always be balanced against strength, durability, costs and weight.

Abstract
A systematic analysis of the volumes of fish and seafood production in Ukraine and European countries is conducted, the issue of the ratio of import and export of fishery products in Ukraine is highlighted. It is shown that the fish and seafood market of Ukraine is far from being saturated, but also even from the minimum satisfaction of the domestic needs of the country’s population. The average annual consumption of fish and seafood in Ukraine is much lower than the world average. The main supply of fishery products in the domestic market is provided by imported supplies, which is about 75% of domestic consumption. The expediency of using the European experience, in particular regarding the use of the principles of the Common Fisheries Policy, is outlined.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
COVID-19 represents not only public health emergency but has become a global economic problem. It has affected all economic sectors threatening global poverty. The important question that arises is what catalyses the spread of the disease? In this paper the relationship between population density and spread of COVID-19 is observed which is goal of the paper. For the purpose of the analysis the correlation between the population variables and COVID-19 variables on a global country level (209 countries) and regional level of individual countries with the most cases of infection is observed. The results have shown that on a country level variable population is statistically significant in all regression models for total cases, deaths and total tests variables whereas variable population density was not. The research results from this paper can be important and relevant for economic and health policy makers to guide COVID-19 surveillance and public health decision-making.

Published: April 2021

Background: The COVID-19 lockdown has severely affected all aspects of life, including medical students. The present study was designed to gain perspective on how the COVID-19 lockdown has affected Karachi's medical student's study patterns and mental health.
Methodology: Undergraduate students from twelve medical colleges participated in this cross-sectional survey. A self-administered online survey form was sent to 1000 medical students via WhatsApp and other social media platforms. A total of 670 responses were received. Questions regarding the psychological impact of lockdown and wellbeing concerns about the future during lockdown were part of this survey. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale was used to determine the level of anxiety in students.
Results: According to our survey, 270 (40.8%) medical students who participated in the survey have been severely affected, where 392 students (60.1%) either did not study daily or spent less than 2 hours studying on average. This situation has also taken a severe toll on their mental health as 314 (47.4%) students proved to have anxiety, a feeling of irritation and uneasiness most of the time during the day. Many students, 439 (66.3%), also faced difficulty concentrating while doing menial tasks or studying.
Conclusion: Most students faced a severe loss of study and showed anxiety and depression symptoms during the lockdown period.

Published: April 2021

Background: The patient's follow-up is a significant challenge for managing psychiatric illness, especially psychotic disorders. Although many factors affect patients' clinical non-attendance with psychosis, the approach of patients and their families toward medication influences treatment follow up. The study evaluates the patient's and family's approach regarding OPD follow up and the effect of SMS reminder on OPD follow up of patients with psychosis.
Methodology: This study was conducted on a psychotic patient attending OPD at Karwan e Hayat, Karachi. A total of 248 patients were randomly divided into two groups, the SMS reminder group and the treatment-as-usual or control group. Computer-based SMS to improve patient's follow-up was sent in Urdu and English to the SMS group. A total of four reminder messages were sent to the SMS group within 15 days of each clinical appointment over a period of 24-weeks, while no message was sent to the control group.
Results: All patients (Intervention & Control groups) were divided further into two groups based on the caring family approach reflected through several follow-ups, including a poor follow up group with less than five visits and an appropriate follow-up group having five or more than five visits. The impact of SMS follow-up reminders on both groups was observed through OPD follow-ups. At baseline, all groups were comparable, but after a 3-month appropriate group of intervention were found with a significant (p=0.053) increase in the number of follow-ups compared to patients with poor follow-up groups.
Conclusion: It is concluded from the study results that the SMS reminders are an effective intervention in those psychotic patients and families who have a positive approach to illness.

Background: Recent advances in imaging technology has made it possible to diagnose abdominal masses in the early stages along with accurate image-guided localization of biopsy sites. Contrast-enhanced Computed tomography (CECT) abdomen is one such imaging tool. This study aims to establish the diagnostic accuracy of CT scans in detecting Wilm's tumour.
Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radiology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi, from 20-10-2018 till 04-20-2019. A total of 196 patients who were clinically suspected of renal masses were included in this research project. CECT scan abdomen was acquired. The final diagnosis was based on histopathology.
Results: Mean age in our study was 13.4±5.7 months. 104 (53.1%) were male, and 92 (46.9%) were female, respectively. Moreover, out of 196 patients, sensitivity, specificity, both the positive and negative predictive value along with diagnostic accuracy of CECT scan for diagnosis of Wilm's tumour by taking histopathology as the gold standard was found to be 93.4%, 91.8%, 95%, 89.4% and 92.8% respectively.
Conclusion: It is concluded from the study results that the Abdominal CECT scan, despite its high radiation dose, is relevant and accurate in making a diagnosis of Wilms tumour, making it significantly helpful in early disease detection in poor resource settings such as ours where patients usually present late for treatment.

Published: April 2021

Motivation/Background: In this paper we aimed at clinically analyzing a patient diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, who also displays features specific to multiple personality disorders, in the context of a presentation whose key topic is sexuality. Given the global prevalence and the severity of schizophrenia, it is increasingly important to appropriately adapt and identify the patients' clinical and non-clinical personality profile. This paper also aims at making the profile of a patient diagnosed with axis I disorder ever since the age of 19, who also has got traits specific to certain personality disorders. At the same time, the work provides an interpretation of the behaviour from the psycho-dynamic point of view.
Method: The following instruments were used for performing the analysis: a clinical interview, heteroanamnesis, psychological tests, clinical course monitoring, psychodynamic interpretations, defence mechanisms identification, psychiatric observation and treatment.
Results: Based on the materials aforementioned, it has been established a possible diagnosis which includes multiple disorders: Antisocial Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, Schizotypal Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, Cotard Syndrome, Kandinsky-Clérambault Syndrome. and there were identified defense mechanisms and coping strategies, under the influence of sexuality and sadomasochistic impulses.
Conclusions: It is highlighted the clinical picture of a patient with paranoid schizophrenia, who presents symptoms for differential diagnoses, with disorganized discourse focused on sexuality, with delusional ideation, psychotic manifestation, but also with high suggestibility, especially on the paternal line

Published: April 2021

The case of patient V is one you want to dig for, being an example in which a Cluster B disorder (i.e., borderline personality disorder) is also accompanied by elements from Cluster A (such as those in the paranoid area). Symptoms from the dependent personality can be involved.
Objective: The presentation of a medical case of an 18-year-old young man, initially diagnosed at the age of 16 with Bipolar Affective Personality Disorder, and whose personality structure is better explained by a Borderline Disorder is the aim of the present article.
Method: The patient was hospitalized involuntarily. He was under medical supervision and treatment. He also underwent specialized investigations (EEG, brain CT), psychological and personality tests, as well as daily monitoring. Throughout the procedure there have been a collaboration with his family and the authorities.
Results: From the detailed anamnesis and the reconstruction of the significant life events, a borderline personality structure emerged, having a paranoid core that provided V the capacity of being goal-oriented. The personality scales also showed elements of an antisocial nature, manipulation and desire to be socially liked. Psychodynamic interpretations show an emotional flattening, avoidance of being in touch with he's own emotions and feelings, his unconscious mind housing an unbearable pain.
Conclusions: The diagnosis of Bipolar Personality Disorder, sustained two years ago, is refuted, the patient being included in an axis II frame (i.e. borderline personality with a strong paranoid core and pathology of addiction)
Quantum Organizations with Islamic way forward

Published: April 2021

Firstly, this paper describes a phenomenon of transnational organization and general condition of world and ‘man in the world’. For developing a comprehensive framework, it presents authentic literature review beginning from modernity to post modernity using the hermeneutic-interpretivism research tradition to show the similarities between modernism and post modernism. By revealing the missing link in the quantum paradigm of ralph Kilmann (scholar of quantum organization) on one hand, it develops the possibility of reviving revealed knowledge back into the main frame knowledge of organization theory, on the other hand. By raising and addressing the question of how can the revealed knowledge addresses the current economic dilemma, the paper describes the three lenses available used to understand natural world, socio economic world and behavioral world in Newtonian verses quantum assumptions on organization theory along with their implications. For cross fertilization of ideas and better understanding of God, cosmos and human it presents an alternative of Islamic way forward suggested by scholarly views from East and West. To further substantiate, it presents the stunning insights from the renowned wisdom traditions (pragmatic civilizations) to highlight why religions matter to show (the levels of reality and levels of selfhood as well as relationship between Necessity being and contingent being), responding the situation of power and domination prevalent in organizing world by suggesting historical/civilizational ethical mode and adopting psycho, spiritual-pragmatic approach with holistic world view (Big picture).
