Abstract

Suicide is defined as a fatal self-injurious act with some evidence of intent to die.1 Suicide occurs more often inolder than in younger people, but is still one of the leading causes of death in the late childhood and adolescence.Every year, more than 1,00,000 people commit suicide in our country.1 Suicide accounts for 1.4% of all deaths,and is the 15th leading cause of death globally.2,3 Suicide is associated with an impulsive nature. Several riskfactors concerning family structure and interactions have been linked to a suicidal behaviour. Direct conflictswith parents and siblings, Occupational status and social acceptance have a great impact, but so do the absence ofcommunication and a lack of empathy.12 Interpersonal losses are also strongly associated with suicide cases. Butin developing countries one of the major reason always remains unemployment and poverty. There are differentrates of suicides and suicidal behaviour between males and females (among both adults and adolescents). Whilefemales more often have suicidal thoughts, males die by suicide more frequently.5 Hence, this study was plannedwith a purpose to know the magnitude and the socio-cultural factors of the problem of suicides, so that a soundprevention program could be suggested, planned and implemented for reducing the incidence of suicides.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the single-dose toxicity of 4-F-MDMB-BUTINACA in Swiss albinomice using histopathological analysis of liver and kidney specimens.The experimental protocol included oral treatment of mice with different doses (5, 50, 300, 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of 4-F-MDMB-BUTINACA) for 24 hours. At the end of the treatment, blood samples had been drawn, andrenal and hepatic tissues have been excised from the experimental mice groups for histological examinations.The results revealed that dose-dependent treatment with 4-F-MDMB-BUTINACA causes mild tremor clinicalsigns with low doses and photophobia (sensitivity to light) and even cessation of breathing as a potential cause ofdeath with high doses in treated mice.The LD50 value of 4-F-MDMB-BUTINACA was 32.60 mg/kg, which is considered as a chemical compound of lowtoxicity. Histological studies confirmed that liver and kidney toxicities have been manifested in the findings ofcongestion, necrosis, inflammation, and bleeding within the liver and to lesser extent in the kidneys.

Abstract

Correctional Institution as a place to house terrorist inmates have not managed to solve the problem ofderadicalization to complete for terrorist inmates, so it is necessary to cooperate with other relevant stateinstitutions. But the deradicalization process has obstacles such as inmates being unwilling to cooperate and theabsence of synergy with other applicable state institutions. The parameters of the success of correctional institutionsin conducting deradicalization are necessary to strengthen the process of returning terrorism convicts to thecommunity, so that this research is important to do. This study uses the research method that is juridical normativeby collecting primary data and secondary data. The results of this study describe the correctional institution to bethe vanguard in the process of deradicalization of terrorism convicts to be ready to return to the community so thatthe implementation of effective deradicalization required cooperation from correctional institutions, relevant stateinstitutions, and inmates. Correctional institutions are an important vector in the fight against radicalism. The roleof correctional institutions in the deradicalization of terrorism prisoners is to synergize with other institutions tofoster terrorist prisoners to become good human beings when they leave correctional institutions.

Abstract

We report five cases of tri-allelic patterns observed during establishment of genetic fingerprint database for 354individual from Iraqi security forces volunteers. These individuals had been typed by using the PowerPlex®Fusion System for the following 22 autosomal STRs: D3S1358, D1S1656, D2S441, D10S1248, D13S317, Penta E,D16S539, D18S51, D2S1338, CSF1PO, Penta D, TH01, vWA, D21S11, D7S820, D5S818, TPOX, D8S1179, D12S391,D19S433, FGA and D22S1045. All five tri-allelic patterns were observed at the Penta D locus and had the genotype9/11/13, 9.4/13/14, 9/10/11, 7/9/11 and 9/10/14 respectively. All cases belonged to the Type 2 tri-allelic pattern;involve a fairly balanced set of three alleles. Five cases in 354 typed individuals is a frequency for tri-allelic patternsin autosomal STRs of 1.41%.

Abstract

Background: The respiratory system is most affected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 (SARS-CoV2). However, COVID-19 can appear in a variety of ways. It has found a link between higher liverenzymes and COVID-19 infection, implying that the virus can induce liver damage through direct hepatotoxicinjury, medication toxicity, or an immune-mediated response.Materials and Methods: In the southern Iraqi province of Basra, a cross-sectional observational study is beingconducted in a single center (Basra teaching hospital) to estimate the prevalence of liver damage among hospitalizedpatients and identify those at risk.Results: The study found that most of the patients have a normal liver function test at the time of diagnosisand or admission, but after hospitalization, there is a statistically significant increase in the liver enzymes thatis positively related to the disease severity and cytokine storm and also lead to more extended hospital stayingand further mortality. Fortunately, the degree of liver damage is of mild severity in the majority of patients. Still,the severe form of liver damage was also noticed in some patients, especially those with a higher degree of lunginvolvement and severely desaturates with raised inflammatory markers.Conclusions: Elevated liver enzymes are prevalent, but the majority is mild with COVID-19 disease. Liver functionabnormalities, particularly increased levels of AST and ALT, are not only common in COVID-19, but they are alsolinked to poor outcomes, mainly if severe liver damage has occurred.

Abstract

A systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses chart(PRISMA) was used in this study. About 7 articles have been included. A month post-injection, corticosteroidinjection reduced pain more than PRP injection (Mean: 1.22; 95% CI:-1.10 to 3.54; p=0.30).However, PRP injectionreduced pain significantly more than corticosteroid injection in three months after injection (Mean: -0.77, 95%CI:-1.46 to -0.96; p=0.03), and in six months later (Mean:-1.22, 95% CI:-2.02 to -0.42; p=0.003). The effectivenessdifference between Platelet-Rich Plasma injection and corticosteroid injection in patients with plantar fasciitisvaries depending on peak period and facial thickness.
