Background: NAFLD is a spectrum of liver disease ranging from fatty liver to steatohepatitis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. Due to the epidemic proportion of individuals with NAFLD worldwide, liver biopsy evaluation is impractical, and noninvasive assessment for the diagnosis of NASH and fibrosis is needed. In this study we aimed to compare FIB-4, APRI, and NFS score to FibroScan for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. Methods: This prospective study included 103 patients with NAFLD and was conducted in the Hepato-Gastroenterology Unit of Functional Digestive Explorations at CHU Ibn SINA in RABAT MOROCCO and covers the period from 01/2016 to 04/2023. A checklist was used to record the demographic features and biological data of the patients. Then, all patients underwent FibroScan using the FibroScan compact 530 device (Echosens, France). Results: Of the 103 patients with NAFLD included in this study, with a mean age of 54.4 ± 11.4 years, 35(34%) were male and 68 (66%) were female. Based on FibroScan results, 58 patients (56.3%) were classified as F1, 13 (12.6%) as F2, 5 (4.9 %) as F3, and 27 (26.2 %) as F4. A significant correlation was found between FibroScan and FIB-4 (r = 0.365), APRI (r = 0.376), and NFS score (r = 0.356) (P < 0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of APRI at the 0.64 cut-off for the differentiation of F3F4 from F2F1 were 59.4, 84.5, 63.3, 82.2 and 76.7%. FIB-4 at the 1.8 cut-off 68.8, 83.1, 64.7, 85.5, 78.6% and NFS at the 0.89 cut-off 71.9, 69, 51.1, 84.5 and 69.9% respectively. Moreover, the area under the receiver operating curve of APRI, FIB-4, and NFS for the differentiation of F3F4 from F1F2 was 0.782, 0.779, and 0.723, respectively. Conclusions: Based on these results, APRI appears to be the most appropriate substitute of FibroScan for the detection of significant fibrosis in NAFLD patients.

The thematic translation of the Holy Quran has been attempted long ago by various translators. And due to the fact that the requirements of the translator of Islamic texts are a bit more complicated, the translation of some Arabic grammatical and rhetorical forms might pose a real challenge for non-native speakers of Arabic. Mastering the Arabic language, being it the Source Language of Islamic texts to be translated into any Target Language, is inevitable for any translator of such text types. The thematic translation of the Holy Quran by some translators having neither the SL nor the TL as their L1, makes their attempt even more challenging. Indeed, Arabic language is the mother tongue of Hilali; yet, not of Khan. This study highlights their rendering into English the definite article “al ال” modifying the Islam-Specific Nouns in selected Surahs: Al-Baqara (2:2), (2:3), (2: 43-45), (2:57), (2:198), al-Imran (3:3), Al-Maida (5: 2), At-Tauba (9:60), and Al-Furqan (25 :38).

The production of discrete guard cells without plasmodesmata, in addition to its highly specialised division and differentiation processes, makes the stomate an intriguing model for developmental biology. Most comparisons of the leaf nutritional properties of different plant forms are focused on the species scale or local scale. Understanding the intercellular communication, asymmetric cell division, and stomatal state transitions that underlie stomatal development in Arabidopsis thaliana. Pathogens affect animal populations, but population status, size, and density affect the rate and effectiveness of disease transmission and dissemination. There is an instantaneous effect of lessening the impact effect of precipitation by direct interception that slows the outflow because of the presence of trees, bushes, and lawn areas. Drought stress and pathogen infection can interact in both antagonistic and additive ways. Given how often drought stress occurs and how many plant diseases have been reported to be affected by it, this combination of stresses may be considered one of the most important combinations affecting crop yields. Physical stressors such as excessive moisture content preventing oxygen from diffusing to the root tip, hypoxia resulting from insufficient water availability, a negative matric potential, compaction, or soil drying can all limit the amount of root elongation.

Most of the molecular targets are genes involved in carbohydrate and sugar metabolism. The jasmonic acid signaling regulation controls a range of plant developmental processes and responses to biotic and abiotic stressors; this regulation most likely involves the photosynthetic apparatus. Proteases and peptidases that are specialized to certain compartments, their number, location, and turnover, protein interactors, and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, nitrosylation, and carbonylation are among these activities. The adding pure natural components and plant extracts to food may help prevent botulism. Furthermore, given the lack of apparent pharmacological treatment, whole foods high in polyphenols and the bioactive substances contain have to be assessed for potential medical benefits. The food chain is seriously endangered by fusarium species and other fungal species that infect food, particularly grain. Mycotoxins' harmful effects on people are limited by the highest amounts that are allowed in food. Several nations have placed restrictions on the number of mycotoxins that can be found in food items.

Objective: (1) To identify and characterize bacterial isolates causing blood stream infection in children. (2) To determine the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of isolates obtained. Materials And Methods: Study design: Descriptive study. Study population: Blood samples collected from pediatric patients aged upto 12 years who are admitted in Government Medical College Kottayam, with clinical features of blood stream infection. Sampling methodology: The sample size of suspected blood stream infection is 345. All pediatric patients with clinical features suggestive of blood stream infection in the study period satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. The identification of bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done by conventional and automated methods like VITEK system. Results: Out of 345 study sample population, 46 were culture positive, of which 21(45.7%) were Gram negative isolates and 20(43.4%) were Gram positive. Major isolates obtained were Klebsiella spp (15%), Methicillin Resistant Coagulase negative Staphylococci (15%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (13%), Coagulase negative Staphylococci (8%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (8%). Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to most of the antibiotics tested except meropenem. All isolates of Coagulase negative Staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus were susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid. Conclusion: Gram negative organisms were predominant pathogens in blood stream infections. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Coagulase negative Staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus were the most commonly isolated pathogens. Amikacin along with the third generation cephalosporins should be used for empirical treatment of Gram negative sepsis. Vancomycin and linezolid can be used for Gram positive pathogens.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a global health crisis, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. As the pandemic has evolved, a critical aspect that has garnered significant attention is the impact of comorbidities on the severity and outcomes of COVID-19. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of comorbidities on patients with COVID-19. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Reproductive and Child Health, National Institutes of Public Health and Social Medicine in Mohakhali, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period from January to December 2020. Total 202 women diagnosed with Covid-19 were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups; patients with comorbidities and patients without comorbidities, each containing 101 patients. Result: Patients with comorbidities were older and had higher BMI compared to those without comorbidities. Common symptoms like fever and cough showed no significant difference between groups, but shortness of breath and dyspnea were more prevalent in patients with comorbidities. Hypertension (64.4%) and diabetes (51.5%) were the most frequent comorbidities. Laboratory findings indicated higher inflammation and organ stress in comorbid patients, with elevated white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, ferritin, and liver enzymes. Clinical outcomes were more severe in the comorbid group, with higher rates of hospitalization (94.1% vs. 74.3%), ICU admission (39.6% vs. 19.8%), and mortality (19.8% vs. 5.0%). Conclusion: This study concludes that patients with comorbidities are in higher risk. Patients with comorbidities manifests more severe symptoms and clinical feature with higher mortality rate.

Hemangioendothelioma is the term used to name those vascular neoplasms that show a borderline biological behavior, intermediate between entirely benign hemangiomas and highly malignant angiosarcomas. Although originally spindle cell hemangioendothelioma was proposed as a specific clinicopathologic variant of hemangioendothelioma, currently, it is considered as an entirely benign lesion, and thus, the name spindle cell hemangioma seems to be the most accurate for this lesion. Authentic hemangioendotheliomas involving the skin and soft tissues include Papillary intralymphatic angioendothelioma (also known as Dabska tumor), Retiform hemangioendothelioma, Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (also known as epithelioid sarcoma-like hemangioendothelioma), and Composite hemangioendothelioma. Each of these neoplasms exhibit characteristic histopathologic features.

Background: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes covid-19 disease. The disease is a multisystem and mosaic disorder that demonstrates extra pulmonary manifestations involving liver and other organs. Elevated blood bilirubin levels have been associated with poor covid-19 disease outcome. However, discrepancies prevail in these findings. The study aimed to evaluate the association between serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels and clinical outcome of covid-19 infection. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. Data was obtained from medical records of patients admitted at Mount Kenya Hospital, Nyeri which was the designated county facility for diagnosis, treatment and management of covid -19 disease in Nyeri, Kenya. Data was obtained from patients’ files admitted between 01/04/2021-30/09/2021. Inclusion criteria: Positive covid -19 patients tested with real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test (rqRTPCR) and patients with serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels done at admission. Exclusion criteria: Positive rqRTPCR covid-19 patients with incomplete medical records, positive covid-19 patients tested using rapid antigen test, patients with comorbidities, and pregnant women. Categorization of liver injury based on bilirubin levels: severe liver injury >5× ULN, moderate liver injury 3–5x ULN and mild liver injury 1–2x ULN. Categorical data were presented as frequencies and the chi-square test was applied to test for associations. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There was no statistical significance between serum levels of total bilirubin (P=0.390), direct bilirubin (P=0.272) and covid-19 clinical outcome (survival or non-survival) and severity. Conclusion and Recommendations: Serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels has no significant association with covid-19 disease outcome and severity and thus are not reliable prognostic markers in our setting and in patients without preexisting comorbidities. The role of serum total bilirubin and direct bilirubin in prognosis of covid-19 be studied further to evaluate more mechanistic explanation.

The emergence of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)is a public health concern worldwide. It is associated with increased mortality due to limited antibiotics available to treat CRE infections. The aim of this study was to understand the epidemiology of CRE infections, associated mortality, and available treatment options. All patients with CRE isolated in blood culture were identified between December 2011 and October 2019. Risk factors and mortality associated with each risk factor at 14 and 30 days were determined.55 cases of CRE bloodstream infections were isolated, with a median age of 56 years. Eighty-four percent of patients received treatment in the ICU. All cases were caused by Klebsiella pneumonia. The rate of resistance to the tested antibiotics was as follows: meropenem 92% (50/54), imipenem 75% (40/53), etrapenam 95% (19/20), Amikacin 71% (37/52), cotrimoxazole 73% (40/53), Gentamicin 47% (25/53) and colistin 7% (3/41). Major risk factors associated were the presence of a urinary catheter (84%), central venous catheter (78%), mechanical ventilation (74%) and post-surgery (67%). Mortality at 14 days and 30 days was 41%, and 52%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that 14 days mortality was higher in patients with central venous catheter (P=0.01). Charlson's comorbidity index was associated with an increased risk of death at 30 days (P=0.04). There was no statistically increased survival in those treated with combination therapy at 30 days (P=0.5). The mortality of CRE infections seems to be high and optimal therapy is not yet well defined. Combination therapy is not associated with increased survival in this cohort of patients.

Leishmaniasis is a tropical infection transmitted to humans by the female sandfly (Phlebotomus argentipes). Leishmaniasis is widely prevalent in the Eastern states of India namely Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal having a hot and humid climate.

The burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major challenge worldwide. This health problem has drawn attention, especially in Saudi Arabia, which is expected to be among the top five countries in 2030. The socioeconomic changes in KSA in recent decades resulted in changes in eating habits and lifestyle patterns. Diet is a modifiable factor that can prevent or delay the incidence of T2DM. Therefore, the relationship between diet and DM is crucial to deliver recommendations. Treatment of DM can only be effective if adequate attention is given to appropriate nutrition. Therefore, the Saudi Diabetes Clinical Practice Guidelines (SDCPG) (2021) recommended developing a nutrition therapy plan for each patient to achieve the treatment goals registered nutritionists provide for all individuals with DM. That is why a panel of 6 experts, a Saudi task force, gathered to develop an explicit, evidence-based consensus for nutrition therapy for T2DM people. An initial concept proposal was obtained. The proposal was divided into several topics discussed in September 2022. A literature review was carried out. The literature search was completed in March 2023. A drafted report was distributed to the entire panel. Approval of the recommendations required consensus, defined as a majority approval (i.e., above 80%). The recommendations were revised to accommodate any differences of opinion until a consensus was reached. Recommendations were finally formulated in June 2023. Subsequently, the panel reviewed and discussed the supporting rationale of the revised recommendations. This article presents these practical recommendations.

Magnesium supplements have been effective for modulating process of bile resistance, decrease oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Current study was designed to functionally evaluate the MgO nanoparticle supplementation in an acute liver injury rat model. The animals were randomly divided into five groups. All groups were administrated with CCl4 to induce hepatic injury except of negative control group which received only vehicle. CCl4 administration is followed by MgO nanoparticles in the concentration of 150 and 300 mg/kg in low dose and high dose treated group respectively except of standard control group. After 21 days of treatment, the animals were sacrificed to collect blood and liver samples. Serum levels of bilirubin, AST, ALT and ALP were determined. Liver sample was also subjected to RNA isolation by Trizol method followed by the cDNA synthesis and Real Time PCR. In addition, lipid profile was also assessed. The data obtained was analyzed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that levels of bilirubin, AST, ALT and ALP were significantly elevated in positive control group while MgO treated groups, somehow, had normal ranges of these enzymes. Furthermore, the qPCR results showed that the expression of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), transcriptional regulator of the bile salt export pump (BSEP) and sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), is reduced in positive control group, while nanoparticles treated groups had normal expression of these genes. In conclusion, our data showed that MgO nanoparticles possess hepatoprotective activity against hepatic injury.
