Published: February 2025

The prognosis of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a matter of worry for critically ill patients, their families, and healthcare personnel. However, predicting the chances of recovery in the ICU can be challenging. Scoring systems serve as standardized instruments utilized in critical care research to determine which patients should be included in a study and to establish the comparability of different patient groups. Objective: To determine the frequency of use of Scoring Systems to predict the outcome of critically ill patients in the intensive care units of Pakistan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in all the healthcare institutions of Pakistan that are recognized by CPSP for fellowship in ICU training, from 10th April 2018 till 10th October 2018. Forty-one ICU physicians were included. Pre-designed questionnaires were sent to these physicians. Results: Out of 41 physicians, 33 (80.5%) of them used and 8 (19.5%) did not use ICU scoring systems. Only 3 consultants reported the use of Anatomical scoring systems. GCS was the most used Disease Specific Scoring System (97.5%), followed by Child Pugh’s Score (80%) and Ranson’s Criteria (70%). 50% reported the use of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and 42% used Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS). 63% used Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE). 93% did not use any Therapeutic Weighted Score. 77.5% used Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) and 25% used Ramsey’s. Conclusion: It was found that 80.5% physicians used ICU scoring systems to assess mortality and severity of illness.

Published: February 2025

Gingivitis, primarily caused by bacterial plaque buildup, was managed through mechanical removal, though this requires consistency. Chemical agents like chlorhexidine mouthwash were effective but have notable side effects. Honey, with its antibacterial properties, offers a potential alternative with fewer adverse effects. Objective: To compare the side effects of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate and 10% honey mouthwash to determine which offers a safer and more comfortable option for oral hygiene in young adults. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2020 to December 2020 to compare the side effects of two oral care solutions, 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate and 10% honey mouthwash, among young adults. Sixty subjects were recruited from the Department of Periodontology at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi. The primary focus of the study was to observe and document any side effects associated with each mouthwash during and after three weeks of usage for plaque removal and gingival health. Results: The study revealed that participants in Group A (chlorhexidine) reported a higher incidence of adverse effects, including a pronounced bad taste, numbness in the mouth, and noticeable tooth discoloration. In contrast, Group B (honey) participants generally reported a pleasant taste, with significantly fewer and milder side effects. Conclusions: Honey mouthwash offers a more comfortable user experience with fewer negative side effects, including a pleasant taste. This makes it a promising alternative for individuals seeking an effective and gentle approach to maintaining oral health.

Epidemiological studies have shown that cigarette smoking is the independent risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED), with smokers 1.5–2 times more likely to develop ED than nonsmokers. Additionally, long-term research has shown that quitting smoking improves erectile function, with noticeable improvements even within 24 hours of cessation. Objective:  To determine the frequency of erectile dysfunction among male smokers and non-smokers at PMC Hospital Nawabshah. Methods: This research was conducted at the Department of Urology, Peoples Medical University Hospital, Nawabshah. A formal written consent /agreement was obtained from every subject/individual who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and then decided to participate. The measure divides ED into four groups based on IIEF-5 scores: mild to moderate (12–16), mild (17–21), no ED (22–25), moderate (8–11), and severe (1–7). Data were being analyzed by computer software statistical package for social sciences version 23. Frequency and percentage were computed for variables. 85.9% are confirmed to have some degree of ED, and 14.1% are found not to have ED. Results: Among the smokers, 39(27%) had mild ED, but in non-smokers, 53(37%) had mild ED. Among the smokers, 50(35%) had moderate ED, and in non-smokers, 51(36%) had moderate ED. In smokers, 64(45%) had severe ED, and in non-smokers, 38(27%) had severe ED. Conclusions: Smoking tremendously affects the erection of patients. Whereas non-smokers had a little bit less effect on erectile function.

The incidence of anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy correlates with a heightened risk of negative postnatal outcomes. Objective: To access the relationship between hemoglobin levels in laboring women and perinatal outcome. Methods: A prospective cohort study was done at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nishtar Hospital, Multan from September 2020 to December 2021 using non-probability purposive sampling technique. A total of 135 anemic pregnant women (Group A) fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria was recruited for the study from labour room plus 135 non-anemic women were also recruited as control group (Group B). The data was recorded and explored. Results: 135 anemic laboring pregnant ladies were taken in this study having mean age 25.63 ± 4.53 years (range; 19-37 years) and 85.2% had ages less than 30 years. Cesarean section deliveries were noted to be in 50.4% in group A (anemic women) versus 48.1% in group B (non-anemic women). Preterm birth was noted to be 29.6% in group A versus 6.7% in group B. Small for gestational age was 53.3% in group A versus 12.6% in group B. Low birth weight was 54.8% in group A versus 16.3% in group B. Still birth was 7.4% only in anemic women while it was not observed in control group. Conclusions: The results of this study supported strong relationship of low haemoglobin in mothers with untoward perinatal outcome; growth retarded babies, preterm, Low birth weight and cesarean section rate.

Published: February 2025

Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools for evaluating salivary gland lesions. However, its diagnostic accuracy is uncertain due to certain factors. Objective: To analyze the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in salivary gland lesions compared to histopathological examination in a clinical setting. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2021 to June 2022 at Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur, Pakistan. A total of 75 patients, aged 18 to 75 years, were included in the study who were previously clinically diagnosed with salivary gland lesions. Every patient included in the study underwent the FNAC, and the outcomes were compared to the histopathological analysis of the excised biopsies. The results are analyzed in terms of sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, and diagnostic accuracy. Results: Among the 75 patients, the mean age was 42.5 ± 14.3 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.08. FNAC results showed 7 non-neoplastic lesions (9.3%), 61 benign (81.3%), and 7 malignant neoplasms (9.3%). A histopathological analysis identified 63 benign, 5 malignant, and 7 non-neoplastic neoplasms. FNAC showed a 96.0% overall diagnostic accuracy, with sensitivity, specificity, Positive predictive value (PPV), and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 97.0%, 88.9%,98.5%, and 80.0% respectively. Two false-negative instances (2.7%) and one false-positive case (1.3%) were found in the study. Conclusion: FNAC is an extremely sensitive and accurate diagnostic tool especially when it is required to distinguish between benign and malignant neoplasms. However, its low specificity increases the risk of false-negative results where histopathological confirmation becomes an integral part of the diagnosis especially the cases where clinical suspicions are high.

Published: February 2025

Plastic surgery encompasses both reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, addressing functional and cosmetic needs. Misconceptions about its scope are common, even among healthcare professionals, underscoring the need to evaluate their awareness and perceptions. Objectives: To assess the level of awareness and perceptions of plastic surgery as a speciality among healthcare professionals at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad and Jamshoro. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad, and Jamshoro. Participants included 108 house officers and postgraduate residents working in nonsurgical specialities. The study excluded doctors from other specialities related to surgery and dermatology due to overlaps in the scope of practice with plastic surgery. Results: A majority of participants (79.6%) recognized that cosmetic surgery was a component of plastic surgery, while 12% considered them to be the same, and 3.7% disagreed. In terms of the origin of the term "plastic surgery," 82.4% of participants did not know the reason behind the term. Regarding the aesthetic procedures, participants reported rhinoplasty as done by plastic surgeons (61.1%), with 37% favouring ENT surgeons. Non-surgical procedures such as Botox were mostly attributed to dermatologists (51.9%), with 40.7% selecting plastic surgeons. Conclusions: It was concluded that the study revealed significant gaps in both awareness and perceptions regarding plastic surgery among healthcare professionals. There was a noticeable misunderstanding regarding the appropriate speciality for aesthetic procedures, such as liposuction and breast reduction, where other surgeons were preferred over plastic surgeons, indicating a need for improved education and awareness in the medical community.

Published: February 2025

Physical inactivity is considered a worldwide pandemic that leads to numerous health problems. The World Health Organization advises pregnant women to participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week to enhance health outcomes. As in the last trimester of pregnancy, considerable physical, hormonal, and psychological changes at this stage need further exploration. Objectives: To determine the association between physical activity, perceived stress, and well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 245 third-trimester pregnant mothers was conducted at a local healthcare center using non-probability purposive sampling from June 2024 to November 2024. The Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) was used to quantify physical activity, stress levels were measured with the Perceived Stress Scale-04 (PSS-04), and well-being was assessed using the WHO-5 Well-Being Index. Spearman correlation analysis and descriptive statistics were used to investigate the connections among stress, physical activity, and well-being. Results: Increased physical activity is associated with decreased levels of stress, based on the data, It demonstrated a strong inverse relationship between physical activity and perceived stress (ρ=-0.342, p<0.01). Additionally, there was a positive correlation between well-being and physical exercise (ρ=0.232, p<0.01). Conclusions: It was concluded that physical activity decreased stress and improved well-being in the third trimester of pregnant women. This implies that medical professionals should recommend physical activities in prenatal care, especially in various cultural needs programs. More research is needed with larger, diverse groups.
Des mouvements oculaires aux mouvements des images
Authors: BLÜMLINGER Christa 
Published: February 2025

Ce commentaire de quelques mesures oculométriques, réalisées dans un cadre expérimental dans lequel le probant se trouve face à des images en mouvement, propose d’élaborer une série de considérations épistémologiques relativement modestes. Il ne s’agissait pas de rejoindre les théories avancées par certains cognitivistes, s’appuyant sur un savoir scientifique pour expliquer la perception des films, mais de partir des expérimentations oculométriques proposées par un historien de l’art. L’intérêt de l’étude porte sur une corrélation supposée entre les modes de focalisation et les mesures oculométriques des probants. Le premier exemple provient d’un film mexicain post-classique, Amores Perros (Amours chiennes, 2000) d’Alejandro González Iñárritu. L’étude se concentre sur la fonction de certains points de vue récurrents au sein de ce film d’action et sur des moments narratifs intensifiés supposés susciter de l’affect. Les mesures montrent que le regard du sujet testé suit la trajectoire dessinée par la logique des mouvements au service de l’action. Le deuxième exemple se range du côté du geste de la reprise artistique et relève de ce qu’on appelle du found footage. L’Arrivée (1999) de Peter Tscherkassky retravaille en noir et blanc un court extrait du mélodrame Mayerling (1968) de Terence Young. Chez Tscherkassky, le procédé esthétique de la déformation peut être considéré comme décomposition au sens benjaminien du terme. Malgré les nombreuses transitions plastiques et la densité de la composition, les mesures oculométriques font ressortir un centrement relativement constant du regard. En revanche, elles montrent des mouvements de saccade sitôt que l’image d’origine relativement « classique » est repérable. En conclusion, on constate que l’étude oculométrique de l’expérience d’un film pose des problèmes et rencontre des limites, dus à la spécificité de la perception des images en mouvement. L’articulation entre attention, perception et imagination devrait ainsi être comprise d’une manière nuancée, comme une affaire de degrés et non pas selon un schéma exclusif.
La photographie vue par l’oculométrie (et inversement)
Authors: DELBARD Nathalie 
Published: February 2025

En mettant la photographie à l’épreuve de mesures oculométriques, il s’agit tout autant d’examiner les potentialités analytiques du procédé d’eye-tracking, que de comprendre comment certaines œuvres photographiques sont susceptibles de déjouer les présupposés des théories de la vision. La réflexion se développe d’abord à partir d’une relecture de La Chambre claire de Roland Barthes et plus particulièrement de la notion de punctum, qui trouve à la fois sa cohérence et ses limites dans les tests oculométriques consacrés aux photographies de l’ouvrage. La démonstration s’appuie ensuite sur quelques relevés (cartes de saillance et déplacements oculaires) relatifs aux photographies de Jeff Wall et de John Hilliard, deux artistes dont le travail manifeste une connaissance aigue de nos mécanismes attentionnels.

Lombroso's kijk op de Italiaanse maffia
Authors: Fijnaut C.J.C.F. 
Published: February 2025

Lombroso's views on the Italian mafia
The writings of Cesare Lombroso reflect to a high degree the crime problems being discussed in his time. This is certainly true for the phenomenon of the Italian mafia. Inspired by others writers, press reports and his own observations he came to the conclusion that criminal associations belonging to the Sicilian mafia and the ‘Ndrangheta, in particular consisted of professional criminals and were quite often headed by an intelligent born criminal. In a quite detailed manner he described the ways in which these organizations were structured and the initiation rites that were applied to youngsters who wanted to join them. Lombroso made no secret of the political role the mafia groupings played in Italy, but he warned at the same time that one should take into account that these groupings also disguised themselves as political organizations in order to cover up their true nature: nothing else than criminal organisations. This warning gives room for the idea that - like in the United States - the Italian mafia could also take root in other European countries than Italy itself and not only use them as places to hide from the Italian police and judicial authorities or as market places to trade in illegal goods and services.
André Cools en Agusta

André Cools and Agusta; a Belgian affair
This article describes the relation between the murder on the Walloon social-democratic politician André Cools on 18th July 1991 at Liege and the corruption case Agusta - dealing with the purchase of army helicopters - in order to reflect on typical Belgian criminological issues in this political organized crime topic. The murder committed by Tunisian hit-men was ordered through the influence of the personal cabinet of Van der Biest, a former minister. During the murder investigation a link with the Agusta corruption case was discovered and would tear down several ministers as well as the former NATO Secretary-General Willy Claes. Due to the existence of especially journalistic sources and a lack of scientific criminological material, the conclusions of this article are strictly personal. The murder and the corruption prove the fact that political organized crime was a reality in Belgium. This case can stand as a scholarly example in the study of political organized crime in Belgium.
