Authors: Ahmed Hind Sh. , Abbas Ahsan K. 
Published: May 2023

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition associated with chronic anovulation, and androgen excess. Clinically, PCOS women usually presents with menstrual irregularities, infertility, and hirsutism. Women with this syndrome are at increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MS).Patients and Methods: This study was conducted during the period from March 2013 until the end of September 2013. A total of 50 PCOS women were studied (25 PCOS women with MS and 25 PCOS women without MS) with an age ranged from (35-45) years. Women with PCOS were referred to Medical City Hospital in Baghdad and compared with 25 healthy women as control group. Serum luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, fasting serum glucose (FSG), serum triacylglycerol (TAG), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured for each individuals.Objective: To study the characteristics of the MS in women with PCOS.
Results: Means of FSG, TAG, LH, prolactin, progesterone, testosterone levels, and LH/FSH ratio were significantly elevated in PCOS women than in the control group, while serum HDL-C levels were significantly lowered in PCOS women than in the control. There was a significant increase in FSG and TAG in PCOS women with MS as compared to PCOS women without MS, (P=0.0001). While, there was a significant decrease in serum HDL-C in PCOS women with MS as compared to PCOS women without MS. No significant differences were found in LH, FSH, prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, LH/FSH ratio, day of menstrual cycle, and duration of infertility between PCOS women with and without MS. Conclusions: The present study showed that PCOS women with MS had abnormalities in hormonal and lipid profile.

The current study was intended to explore the dynamics of attachment relationships with the caregivers formed during childhood and the influence of this attachment on the well-being of the emerging adults. It was hypothesized that insecure (avoidant & anxious) attachment style with mother/father is negatively correlated with subjective well-being among emerging adults (18-25 years old). Furthermore, insecure attachment (avoidant & anxious) with mother/father in childhood predicts decreased subjective well-being in emerging adults. The sample comprised N = 403 undergraduate students, aged 18-25 years, from a public sector university. Experiences in Close Relationships- Relations Structure was used to assess the attachment insecurity of the adult with his/her mother and father both. Subjective well-being was measured using three scales: Satisfaction with Life Scale, Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale, and Flourishing Scale. The regression analyses showed that subjective well-being was significantly predicted by insecure attachment.

Prototype Design and Development of Android App for Blood Donation and Tracking Donors
Authors: Kamran Mughal Muhammad , Fatima Shahzad  
Published: May 2023

The population of Pakistan is increasing rapidly and so is the ratio of blood borne conditions, and diseases. To further aggravate the situation, the furthermost alarming threat is the fact that the ratio of blood donors in Pakistan is just less than 10% of the whole population. This is clearly insufficient to meet the high rising medical demands of the blood in emergency situations. In majority cases, the cause of patient demise in Pakistan is merely due to the sole reason that the blood donor cannot communicate with the recipients properly from any platform. The aim of this research project is to create awareness and motivation for people through a “Cost Free” blood donation application to donate the blood on just one click. The blood bank tab will provide the perfect path to find a potential person willing for the donation. By using maps, everyone can trace the blood banks according to the required need. Likewise, the recipients and the donors can be accessed from the application to find the nearest blood banks and the hospitals via using search bar. This application specifically targets age group ranging from 20 to 50 years; and encourages youth to participate in blood donation. This app enables individuals as well as larger organizations to create profile so that the community may benefit from donors. All blood banks and the hospitals can join the application for best services. This prototype app will be designed and developed according to the required needs; and will be presented through advertising techniques that includes: branding, poster, standees, billboards and an installation for understanding.

Published: May 2023

The subject of the study is the optimization of aerodynamic characteristics by improving the wing profile shape for the fan-wing configuration. The aim of this work is to find a more universal wing shape suitable for various aircraft. The task is to compare the characteristics of three wings with the same rotor engine installed in the nose section, including the base wing used in most previous studies by scientists. Sources suggested that this profile is not well-suited for rotor engines with a large aspect ratio. Experimental methods were used to measure the dynamic characteristics of three wing profiles: a flat curved profile with a cut-out in the rear wing section, a flat lower surface profile, an S-shaped profile with a lower surface bend in the rotor area, and a two-bend contour with a cut-out in the rear wing section on top and bottom. The results showed an improvement in characteristics compared with wing-rotor engine schemes used in previous cases. Specifically, an increase in the flow velocity at the wing exit of 3...8 % depending on the power plant operating mode was found, which led to an increase in lift up to 20 % depending on the flight mode, and an increase in thrust up to 16 %. Conclusions. The proposed S-shaped profile with a lower surface bend in the area of the rotor hub, and a profile with two bends in the contour with a cut in the rear part of the wing from the top and bottom contours have the most optimal and balanced characteristics. In the future, it is planned to manufacture these profiles using composite materials to reduce weight and install them on the aircraft prototype, replacing the rotor structure with a more flexible one using more flexible materials such as PETG plastic for the synchronization of the installed rotor motors, which is necessary to increase reliability and backup the rotor drive. Additionally, several sections with independent engines are planned to be made on each wing console to counteract rotor rupture in the event of engine failure. Due to significant advantages over the standard profile shape and minor structural complexity, the manufacture of more complex profile shapes can find wide applications in aircraft designed according to the fan-wing scheme.

<p>Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) disproportionately affects Indigenous populations. It is possible that exposure to complex mixtures of environmental contaminants contribute to T2DM development. This study examined the association between complex environmental contaminant mixtures and T2DM among Canadian Indigenous communities from the <em>Eeyou Istchee</em> territory, Quebec, Canada. Using data from the cross-sectional Multi-Community Environment-and-Health Study (2005–2009) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the dimensionality of the following contaminants: 9-polychlorinated biphenyl congeners; 7-organic pesticides; and 4-metal/metalloids. Following this data reduction technique, we estimated T2DM prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals using modified Poisson regression with robust error variance across derived principal components, adjusting for <em>a priori</em> covariates. For both First Nation adult males (n = 303) and females (n = 419), factor loadings showed dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and lead (Pb) highly loaded on the second principal component (PC) axis: DDT negatively loaded, and Pb positively loaded. T2DM was significantly associated with PC-2 across all adjusted models. Because PCA produces orthogonal axes, increasing PC-2 scores in the fully adjusted model for females and males showed (PR = 0.84; 95% CI 0.72, 0.98) and (PR = 0.78; 95% CI 0.62, 0.98), respectively. This cross-sectional study suggests that our observed association with T2DM is the result of DDT, and less likely the result of Pb exposure. Further, detectable levels of DDT among individuals may possibly contribute to disease etiology.</p>

<p>Indoor concentrations of black carbon (BC) were measured when wood was burned for traditional cultural activities in a study in a Cree community located in subarctic Canada. The study also included an intervention using a propane-fuelled heater to mitigate in situ BC. Mass concentrations of BC were measured in a game-smoking tent for 39 days and in hunting cabins on the west coast of James Bay, Canada, for 8 days. Five-minute averaged BC mass concentration (N = 12,319) data were recorded and assessed using optimised noise-reduction averaging. Mean BC mass concentrations were lower in hunting cabins (mean = 8.25 micrograms per cubic metre (µg m−3)) and higher in the game-smoking tent (mean = 15.46 µg m−3). However, excessive BC peaks were recorded in the game-smoking tent (maximum = 3076.71 µg m−3) when the fire was stoked or loaded. The intervention with the propane heater in a hunting cabin yielded a 90% reduction in measured BC mass concentrations. We do not presume that exposure to BC is of concern in hunting cabins with appropriate wood-burning appliances that are well-sealed and vent outside. In game-smoking tents, we advise that persons take intermittent breaks outside of the tent for fresh air.</p>

<p>Indigenous populations are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared to non-Indigenous people. Of importance, the prevalence of T2DM is greater amongst females than males in First Nations communities, in contrast to higher male prevalence reported in non-Indigenous Canadians. Therefore, in this study we extend our previously published work with respect to females, and the potential association between environmental exposures to organochlorine pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) to explain the greater prevalence of T2DM among Indigenous females compared to males. Using data from the Multi-Community Environment-and-Health Study, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), examined 9-polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, 7-organic pesticides, and 4-metal/metalloids. Modified Poisson regression with robust error variance estimated adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), regressing prevalent T2DM on the newly derived principal components (PC), adjusting for a priori covariates, including parity. We further examined the relationship between high detection concentrations of DDT and tertials of categorized DDE exposures on T2DM among Indigenous Cree women. Among 419 female participants, 23% (n = 95) had physician-diagnosed T2DM. PCA analysis show that DDT and Lead (Pb) loaded highly on the second axis (PC-2), although in opposite directions, indicating the different exposure sources. As previously published, T2DM was significantly associated with PC-2 across adjusted models, however, after further adjusting for parity in this analysis, T2DM was no longer significantly associated with increasing PC-2 scores (PR = 0.88, 95% 0.76, 1.03). Furthermore, we found that the highest detectable levels of DDT, and tertiles of DDE were significantly associated with prevalent T2DM in the fully adjusted model (PR = 1.93, 1.17, 3.19), and (PR = 3.58, 1.10, 11.70), respectively. This cross-sectional analysis suggests organochlorines, specifically, detectable high exposure concentrations of DDT and DDE are associated with prevalent type 2 diabetes, signifying a possible important link between parity and environmental organochlorines pesticides among Indigenous Cree women.</p>
