Investigating the Islamic Architecture By Focusing on the City of Yazd, Iran
Authors: Mohammad A. Mulazadeh  
Published: February 2024

This research aimed to investigate Islamic architecture and its architectural impact on the city form and building structure in the Islamic world. This research's theoretical base was founded on the frequently used term 'Islamic architecture' in the literature that allegedly has created its physical expression. The method of literature review was used to confirm whether 'Islamic architecture' created its iconic physical structures. The Iranian city of Yazd was selected as a case study to document if any identified element in the ancient city of Yazd was affected by the so called 'Islamic architecture'. The reviewed literature revealed no agreement among researchers to confirm that there is a recognised physical form, theory, or method to represent 'Islamic architecture' in the Islamic world. This finding and literature review point to a clear conclusion that there was no typical form of architectural design that could show the existence of so-called 'Islamic architecture' all over the Islamic world. This paper may stimulate and excite the Islamic advocates’ interest to further investigate and introduce evidence of recognised physical form or iconic structure to portray Islamic architecture.
Dialectics and the Relationship between Philosophy and Religion in an Islamic Perspective
Authors: Muhammad Adip Fanani  
Published: February 2024

. Islamic philosophy and religion have undergone long phases of ups and downs, becoming a dialectic of science. Religion and philosophy in the academic world view are two entities that cannot be separated when studied academically to find the truth. Ibn Rushd asserted that the religion of sharia and the philosophy of wisdom do not conflict. Indeed, there was tension between theologians, especially al-Ghazâlî in Tahâfut al-Falasifah, and Islamic philosophers, especially peripatetic philosophers, such as Ibn Sina. This tension is reflected in Ibn Rushd's statement that "reproach from friends hurts more than reproach from enemies, because according to him, religion and philosophy are actually brothers." The research in this article uses descriptive qualitative research methods with a Library Research approach, visualizing and analyzing the phenomena in this research study. The data sources in this research come from various information, journals, and writings resulting from research on the dialectics of Islamic philosophy and religion. The focus of discussion in this article has three focuses of discussion starting from measuring the relationship between Islamic philosophy and religion, characteristics of philosophy and religion in Islam, and dialectics of philosophy and Islamic religious teachings. Philosophy and religion are two entities that cannot be separated and will continue to be discussed and studied because they are academic studies, in search of scientific and rational truth.

Authors: Timsinha Sidarth , Raman Parajuli Sudhir , Pradhan Amshu 
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Medicolegal cases (MLCs) are cases that require legal investigation to determine responsibility for injuries or illnesses. Errors in medicolegal reports (MLRs) can cause misinterpretations and legal disputes that can have serious consequences for the parties involved. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the characteristics of MLCs and to identify errors in MLRs furnished by doctors.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from August 2020 to January 2021 at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Manipal College of Medical Sciences (MCOMS), Pokhara, Nepal. Ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee was obtained and a total of 173 MLRs were analyzed for characteristics of MLCs and errors in documentation. All registered MLCs were included in the study, regardless of type, age, or gender. The study, however, did not include any brought-dead cases. A statistical package for the Social Sciences, version 20, was used to analyze the data and represented as frequency, percentage and ratio.
Results: A total of 173 MLRs were analyzed in this study. Male patients 109 (63%) accounted for the majority of the patients in MLCs. Maximum cases, 66 (38.15%), occurred in the age group 15-29 years. More than half of the MLCs were related to road traffic accidents (RTAs) 55(31.79%). Blunt injury 127 (73.41%) was the commonest type of injury in the majority of MLCs. The study found multiple errors in the documentation of MLRs.
Conclusion: RTAs comprised the major proportion of MLCs. No MLR written by doctors were found to be free of errors.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: The morphological classification of anemia often correlates with the cause of red cell deficiency. Megaloblastic and non-megaloblastic macrocytic anemias are important causes of anemia in at least 1.7% of hospital patients. Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency are rampant in underdeveloped countries. In Nepal, there is a lack of local data evaluating the etiological profile of macrocytic anemia.
Methods: A descriptive hospital-based study was conducted, and thirty-five cases of anemia according to the WHO criteria were included after informed consent. Clinical history, physical examination, complete hemogram (including hemoglobin level, red cell indices, total leucocyte count, platelet count, and reticulocyte count), and a peripheral blood smear were obtained per structured proforma. Appropriate biochemical investigations were acquired. Statistical analyses were performed as per standard statistical protocols.
Results: The mean age of the patients in our study was 42.40 (±10.29) years. There was a slight male predominance (n=20; 57.14%). Most cases (n=27;77.14%) of macrocytic anemia were megaloblastic. Vitamin B12 deficiency (n=13; 48.14%) was the commonest identifiable cause in megaloblastic group, while liver disease accounts for half of the cases (n=4; 50%) of non-megaloblastic group. The mean hemoglobin was lower (9.94±1.43 g/dl) in megaloblastic anemia compared to non-megaloblastic macrocytic anemia (10.96±1.24 g/dl).
Conclusion: The present study showed that megaloblastic anemia was the most common cause of macrocytic anemia, primarily due to vitamin B12 and folate deficiency. Non-megaloblastic anemia was mainly attributed to liver diseases.

Introduction: Globally, tobacco consumption is a major risk factor for mortality with an estimated five million deaths every year. Mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, cancer and respiratory conditions are the main cause of smoking. The rate of becoming smoker of teenagers increase day by day and 33% of them are believed to die due to consumption of tobacco. Almost 90% of them start smoking before the age of eighteen. The objective of this research is to study the prevalence, associated factors and behavior of cigarette smoking.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to find the prevalence of smoking and other associated factors. A sample of 345 students were recruited purposively from the selected school and a self administered questionnaire were used to collect the data in 2020 using WHO step survey.
Data were entered in EPI data and Univariate and bivariate analysis was done using SPSS16. Logistic regression was used to find the associated factors. P value less than 0.05 was considered as statistical significant.
Results: Among 318 students, 65% were male. The average age of the students was 18.03±1.65 years with the range of 15 to 25 years. The prevalence of smoking was estimated 23.3% (male=31.9% and female = 7.2%). The mean age of initiation of smoking was 16.5 years. Presence of parental smoking and smoking status was significantly associated (P < 0.05). Alcoholic habit was the predictor of smoking (p<0.05). Peer pressure (83.7%), exam load (55.8%), frustration (51.2%) family environment (43%), advertisement (34.9%), pleasure (26.7%) and curiosity (22.1%) were the main reason of starting smoking. They had the knowledge of harmful effects of smoking i.e. cause cancer (91.8%), chronic bronchitis (65.70%), laryngeal cancer (42.10%), heart disease (34.3%).

Authors: Pokhrel Sona , Sharma Rupesh 
Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION: Computed tomography (CT) is frequently used for the evaluation of different aortic diseases which is a good method of measuring the aortic diameter. Thus, knowledge of normal aortic diameters is very important in the assessment of aortic disease.
METHODS: This was a prospective cross sectional study done on 105 patients who presented in department of Radiodiagnosis in Lumbini Medical College, Palpa, Nepal from February 5th 2022 to February 4th 2023. Plain helical scan was performed using Siemens Somatom 16 slice CT scanner. CT images were obtained in supine position with full inspiration. Diameters of the aorta was measured at the level of aortic valve sinus, ascending aorta, proximal to innominate artery, transverse aortic arch, distal transverse aortic arch, aortic isthmus and descending aorta at the level of diaphragm perpendicular to the axis of the aorta.
RESULTS: Diameter of thoracic aorta was found to be maximum at ascending aorta with mean of 2.85 cm, followed by aortic valve sinus 2.80 cm, 2.68 cm at proximal to innominate artery, 2.57 cm at proximal transverse arch, 2.41 cm at distal transverse arch, 2.24 cm at isthmus and 2.03 cm at descending aorta at the level of diaphragm. There was smooth tapering of aortic diameter from ascending aorta onwards. There was a significant correlation of mean ascending aorta diameter with the age of the patients(r = 0.475, p< 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Diameter of thoracic aorta was found to be maximum at the level of the ascending aorta and minimum at the level of diaphragm. The diameter of thoracic aorta had significant correlation with the age of patients.

Published: February 2024

Aging is a risk factor for various chronic diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, metabolic, neurological, and cardiovascular disease, and other age-related disorders. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is one of the endogenous intermediate molecules in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis, and its biological function is known to be related to an increase in NAD concentration. NAD levels decline and are critical for human health and longevity. The material and methods using a systematic review of RCT, with participants of healthy adults aged between 20-65 years old, agreed to take NMN supplementation compared to Placebo. The inclusion criteria are RCT studies regarding NMN administration with an outcome to prevent aging using primary objective measurement of blood nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) concentration. Trial quality was assessed using the JBI checklist. We included six studies with an average duration of intervention between 10-12 weeks with a dosage of NMN 250-900mg/day. All six studies showed that NMN supplementation can significantly improve blood NAD concentration and cause only mild adverse effects during the trial. In conclusion, NMN supplementation has a significant clinical impact in preventing adult aging.
MULTISENZORICKÁ INTEGRACE

Published: February 2024

Jednou ze základních funkcí mozku, spolu s celým nervovým systémem, je řídit a produkovat chování, jehož zásadní složkou je pohyb. Ačkoliv se již neakceptuje názor, že pohyb je vždy iniciován z vnějšího prostředí jako pouhá odpověď na senzorickou stimulaci, je za fyziologických okolností pro zahájení a provádění pohybu naprosto zásadní aferentní informace, zejména pak proprioceptivní. O pohybu je tedy potřeba hovořit vždy jako o senzori-motorické aktivitě, přičemž produkci cíleného pohybu předchází vyhodnocení aktuální senzorické situace. Dobře dnes známe funkci jednotlivých smyslových systémů, ale teprve poslední dekády výzkumu ukazují, jakým způsobem tyto systémy spolupracují, vzájemně se ovlivňují a v některých případech i zastupují. Děj, který vystihuje problematiku sdílení informací mezi smysly, označujeme multisenzorickou integrací (MSI). Jedná se o naprosto zásadní proces zpracování smyslových dat, jehož porucha se nutně odrazí v některé oblasti chování jedince. Toto sdělení přináší základní vymezení pojmů týkajících se MSI, posuzuje vývoj této schopnosti a nastiňuje její současné terapeutické využití v rehabilitaci.
