Abstract

This study aimed to prove the effect of black cumin oil supplementation through analysis of levels of CYP2E1, MDA, GSH, and hematological profiles in experimental animals, Wistar rats, which were exposed to benzene in gasoline vapors from gas stations. Sixty-four experimental Wistar rats were divided into eight groups with eight rats each, two control groups (C1 and C2), and six experimental groups (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6). Blood samples of experimental rats were taken through intracardiac with ketamine-xylazineacepromazine anesthesia on day 15 for group C1, C2, T1, T3, and T5; and day 29 for group T2, T4, and T6. The ELISA method measured the levels of CYP2E1, GSH, and MDA in this study, while the hematological profile used a hematology analyzer. This study indicates that benzene in gasoline vapors exposure caused significant hematotoxicity (P <0.05). Supplementation of black cumin seed oil at a dose of 2.5 ml/kg, 5 ml/kg, and 10 ml/kg, all of which have the potential to provide a protective effect against the hematotoxicity of benzene in gasoline vapors through increased internal antioxidants (GSH). The GSH can play a role in the mechanism of vapor metabolism of substances in gasoline vapors in the body through decreased CYP2E1 levels and decreased MDA levels. Further research is still needed with a more extended treatment duration to ascertain the chronic effects of benzene hematotoxicity on the genomic pathway to assess black cumin’s role, whether in the form of oil, powder, or other forms of extraction.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has inflicted disastrous damages on various aspects of human lives, especially the healthcare sector. The shortage of beds, medical staff, and other facilities in hospitals posed an acute dilemma over who should be given precedence in the treatment process and whether a more seriously ill person should sacrifice for people with less severe illness. With an interpretative approach, this short research article discusses the above questions by using compulsory organ donations as a proxy. After evaluating the compulsory organ donation from the ethical aspect, researchers then dig into the issue from legal and socioeconomic perspectives. The authors are convinced by Kant and Nozick’s proposals on ethics and justice regarding organ donation and patient sacrifice. The research also found out that the problem is not merely limited to the question of morality but also extended to an opt-out system for ensuring social welfare. Finally, the paper encourages medical practitioners, legislators, and social activists to make decisions about medical-legal issues based on interdisciplinary views.

Abstract

Cholelithiasis is the presence of one or more gallstones within the gallbladder. Gallstone disease is a common cause for surgical intervention all over the world.The objective of the study is to determine the order of frequency of clinical presentations for cholelithiasis in laparoscopically cholecystectomized patients in ALKarama teaching hospital.A total sample of 156 clearly documented gallstone disease and laparoscopic cholecystectomized patients were involved in the present study. In the current study, 156 laparoscopic cholecystectomized patients; (34) males and (122) females, ages range between 20 and 69 years with a mean (m=39.24±11.7). Common factors that justified the indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were found in the majority of patients with asymptomatic and mild GI presentation those factors include microlithiasis < 3mm, risk for gallbladder CA, history of bariatric surgery, coexistent morbidities like diabetes mellitus (DM) and hemolytic anemia (HA) or the LC was done in concomitant with another laparoscopic surgery.From the present study, we concluded that the mild GI symptoms represented by dyspepsia, nausea, flatulence and constipation, were at the top of clinical presentations for gallstone patients who underwent LC. The distribution of cases was higher in the 4th decade of life with female predominance.
