Relationship between cathepsin K and total oxidative state in diabetes mellitus female patients with osteoporosis in Iraq
Authors: Abaas Jafer Abeer , Hameed Ali Bushra 
Published: May 2023

Introduction and Aim: Diabetes mellitus patients almost always struggle with a metabolic condition known as chronic hyperglycemia. According to the World Health Organization, osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disorder that is characterized by decreasing bone mass and microstructural breakdown of bone tissue that increases susceptibility to fracture and increased risk of breaking a bone. Here, we aimed to compare the levels of CatK and total oxidative state in patients with diabetes and osteoporosis among the female Iraqi population and study the possible relationship between them.

Materials and Methods: This study included 40 females with diabetes (Group G1), 40 with diabetes and osteoporosis (Group G2) and 40 normal healthy females (Group G3) as controls. All participants were checked for their height, weight and BMI. Blood drawn from everyone was analyzed for fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, Cathepsin K, TOS, TAC and MDA. Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis.

Results: According to the findings, the levels of cathepsin K increased significantly (P 0.001) from Group 1 to Groups 2 and 3, as measured by their mean and standard deviation values. The results of total oxidant status, expressed as means and standard deviations (Mean SD), demonstrated a high significant (P 0.001) decline from group G1 to groups G2 and G3.

Conclusion: Cathepsin K was observed to be linked to both type 2 diabetes and bone loss. In postmenopausal Iraqi women with type 2 diabetes, Cathepsin K may serve as a biomarker for both diabetes and osteoporosis.

Abstract. Accurate airborne aerosol instrumentation is required to determine the spatial distribution of ambient aerosol particles, particularly when dealing with the complex vertical profiles and horizontal variations of atmospheric aerosols. A versatile water-based condensation particle counter (vWCPC) has been developed to provide aerosol concentration measurements under various environments with the advantage of reducing the health and safety concerns associated with using butanol or other chemicals as the working fluid. However, the airborne deployment of vWCPCs is relatively limited due to the lack of characterization of vWCPC performance at reduced pressures. Given the complex combinations of operating parameters in vWCPCs, modeling studies have advantages in mapping vWCPC performance. In this work, we thoroughly investigated the performance of a laminar flow vWCPC using COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation coupled with MATLAB. We compared it against a modified commercial vWCPC (vWCPC Model 3789, TSI, Shoreview, MN, USA). Our simulation determined the performance of particle activation and droplet growth in the vWCPC growth tube, including the supersaturation, Dp,kel,0 (smallest size of particle that can be activated), Dp,kel,50 (particle size activated with 50 % efficiency) profile, and final growth particle size Dd under wide operating temperatures, inlet pressures P (0.3–1 atm), and growth tube geometry (diameter D and initiator length Lini). The effect of inlet pressure and conditioner temperature on vWCPC 3789 performance was also examined and compared with laboratory experiments. The COMSOL simulation result showed that increasing the temperature difference (∆ T) between conditioner temperature Tcon and initiator Tini will reduce Dp,kel,0 and the cut-off size Dp,kel,50 of the vWCPC. In addition, lowering the temperature midpoint (Tmid = (Tcon + Tini) / 2) increases the supersaturation and slightly decreases the Dp,kel. The droplet size at the end of the growth tube is not significantly dependent on raising or lowering the temperature midpoint but significantly decreases at reduced inlet pressure, which indirectly alters the vWCPC empirical cut-off size. Our study shows that the current simulated growth tube geometry (D = 6.3 mm and Lini = 30 mm) is an optimized choice for current vWCPC flow and temperature settings. The current simulation can more realistically represent the Dp,kel for 7 nm vWCPC and also achieved a good agreement with the 2 nm setting. Using the new simulation approach, we provide an optimized operation setting for the 7 nm setting. This study will guide further vWCPC performance optimization for applications requiring precise particle detection and atmospheric aerosol monitoring.

Introduction: Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness (BPCR) is an important intervention
included by WHO as essential elements of antenatal care package. It is often delivered to pregnant women
through their active participation by health care provider during antenatal care or initiated/followed up
through visits to the homes of pregnant women by community health workers. Objectives:	To determine
the knowledge and practice regarding BPCR and to identify factors associated with it among rural pregnant
women.	Method:	Cross-sectional study was conducted in rural field practice area of Community Medicine
Department of a medical teaching institutes. A total of 210 pregnant women who were in the second and
third trimesters of pregnancy were selected by simple random sampling and interviewed for data collection.
Results:	Mean age of study subjects was 24.14 + 3.88 years.The highest number of women was in the age
group of 20-29 years (84.8%). More than half (57.6%) mothers had observed at least two or more
components of BPCR. Maximum number of females had identified facility for delivery (63.8%) followed by
transportation (60.9%). Identification of potential blood donor by mothers was low (14.3%). Bleeding was
most commonly identified danger symptom in all three phases of child bearing. Knowledge regarding
danger signs was significantly associated with birth preparedness. Conclusion:	In the present study,
practice of all components of BPCR by mothers was very low. Bleeding was the most commonly identified
danger symptom during all three phases i.e., pregnancy, child birth and after birth.Knowledge regarding
other danger signs was highly inadequate.

important to discuss because it is closely associated with an increasing risk to many diseases. Objective: To
assess the prevalence of obesity among Second MBBS students and find the anthropometric parameters of
obesity. Method: This was a cross-sectional, observational study conducted among 100 second MBBS
students. Demographic data and anthropometric measures, such as Height, Weight, Body mass index, Waist
circumference, and Waist/Hip ratio of the students were collected. Results:	BMI was < 18.5 in 17.34% of
male and 28% of female students. Around 18.67% of male and 24% of female students had BMI of more than
25 and where as student shaving BMI of more than 30 were 6.66% and 4% in male and female students,
respectively. According to the Waist/Hip	ratio,16% male (>0.95) and16% female (>0.86) students were
categorized as at risk for obesity (p-value 0.86). Conclusion:	Almost half of the male and female students
were having normal BMI. More number of female students had BMI lower than normal. Students falling in
the category of overweight were higher as compared to obese students. Such students were advised for nonpharmacological measures of weight reduction through proper exercise, consuming a healthy balanced diet,
and role of physical activity, so as to maintain proper bodyweight and to prevent future complications of

Published: May 2023

Introduction:	Good glycemic control has been defined as achieving a target of fasting plasma glucose
level of between 80 and 110 mg/dl, or glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) of <7.0%. Poor glycemic control is
highly correlated with chronic conditions related to the damaging effects of hyperglycaemia, resulting in
serious complications. To restrict and delay the complications of diabetes mellitus, good glycemic control is
essential. Objective:	To identify the determinants associated with poor glycemic control among Type 2
diabetes mellitus patients. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 403 confirmed type 2
diabetic patients who attendedone of the tertiary care hospitals of North India over a period of six months
(July- December 2021). The collected data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 28. Chi-square test was
applied to compare various determinants of glycemic control. A p-value of <0.05 was considered to be
statistically significant. Results:	Out of 403 participants, 57.6% had poor glycemic control of diabetic
condition. Higher age of participants, illiteracy, being overweight, having positive history of smoking and
alcohol, longer duration of diabetes, participants taking both oral and insulin treatment for diabetes, taking
medicine irregularly were the significant determinants of poor glycemic control. Conclusion: Higher
percentage(57.6%) of poor glycemic control was observed in the study.To improve the glycemic control,
efforts should be made towards improving modifiable factors like overweight, smoking, alcohol, regularity
of medication etc. Good lifestyle interventions help in control of poor glycemic control.

Introduction: Glaucoma is an idiopathic, progressive optic disc neuropathy complicating into
irreversible blindness if untreated. Early diagnosis by screening cases from high-risk populations has a
pivotal role in managing this major public health problem with high treatment expenditures. Objectives:	To
identify the various ocular and non ocular risk factors of glaucoma and to identify the drug prescription
pattern among glaucoma patients. Method: This was an observational, case-control study including 165
adult Glaucoma patients on treatment as cases and 165 age and sex-matched healthy individuals as controls,
all of which were randomly selected from the patients visiting a tertiary eye care center. Various risk factors,
drug prescription pattern and symptoms of the patients were recorded and analyzed.Results: A total of 165
adult Glaucoma patients and age and gender matched 165 controls were enrolled. Majority of the patients
(41.21%) complained of blurring of vision at the time of study. The Odds ratios for Family history,
Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Migraine, Sleep apnea and Smoking showed strong association as risk
factors for Glaucoma and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (p value <
0.05). The mean number of drugs per prescription ± SD was 1.88 ± 0.79. Fixed drug formulations were
prescribed in 42.4% patients. All the drugs were prescribed by their brand names and majority of them were
in the form of eye drops. Conclusion: Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) was the most common subtype
in the study. Age, Family history, Myopia, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Sleep Apnea, Migraine,
Corticosteroid usage and Smoking emerged as putative risk factors. In consistence with present guidelines,
Prostaglandin analogs were the most prescribed antiglaucoma drugs. The considerable proportion of
asymptomatic cases (23%) suggests the need for periodic eye examinations to detect glaucomatous changes at an early stage.

Published: May 2023

Introduction:	The period of adolescence involves a lot of emotional changes as it is a period of transition
to adulthood demanding independence.Adolescents with depression are more likely to have anxiety,
disruptive behavior disorder and substance abuse when compared to those who are not depressed.
Objective:	To estimate the prevalence of depression among school going adolescents and to assess the
factors associated with depression among them. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among
school going adolescents aged 13-16 years in the urban field practice area of a Medical College. Depression
was assessed using Beck's depression inventory (BDI). Total 896 adolescents were included in this study.
Single stage cluster sampling method was done in which schools were considered as clusters and students
constituted the sampling units. Schools were selected by simple random sampling technique using lottery
method. Results: In this study about 45.2% of the adolescents had depressive disorder, out of which mild
depression was reported among 22.2% students, 12.4% moderately depressed and 10.6% severe
depression. Factors like mother's education, lack of communication by father and mother with their
children, lack of needs satisfied by the fathers of the adolescents (61.9%), father's role in adolescents' life
(62%) and domestic violence in family (69.7%) were some of the important reasons for developing
depression among adolescents. Adolescent whose parents were having conflict (69.2%) were found be
depressed when compared to those adolescents whose parents had no conflicts this difference was
statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of depression was found to be 45.2%. Finding
of the study emphasizes the need for creating awareness about the early identification of behavioral changes
leading to depression among adolescents by the parents and teachers. It is also important to emphasize to
the parents on how their relationship and behavior towards the family affects the mental wellbeing of the adolescent.

Public End through Private Means: A Comparative Study on Public Interest Litigation in Europe
Public interest litigation aims to enforce through judicial proceedings not only the rights and interests of the individual claimants, but also those of the whole social group to which they pertain, if not of the whole collectivity. In this sense, it seeks to represent the rights of minorities, advance equality and bring positive social change through the courts. This article aims to situate the debate over public interest litigation in Europe by arguing that, although imperfect, it can still represent a key tool for societal change and for the protection of the new social and meta-individual rights, whenever responsible public actors fail to do so. In particular, building on previous academic literature and on the existing case law, the article, first examines the evolving concept of public interest litigation. Second, it generally presents the complex European architecture of judicial protection in which the different procedural techniques of public interest litigation are called to operate. Finally, under the comparative yardstick, it focuses on three relevant techniques available in such a European framework: constitutional review, the pilot-judgement procedure and class actions.
