    Abstract Aquatic pollution mainly by industrial effluents has been a major concern since a few decades. The current study evaluated cyto-genotoxicity of industrial effluents on Oreochromis niloticus exposed to sublethal levels by hematotoxicity, blood biochemistry analysis, micronucleus assay, antioxidants and cerebral toxicity. The significant elevation in differential leukocytes of exposed fish was indicative of infections and compromised immune system. The acute and chronic industrial effluent exposure caused significant decline in aspartame transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) and renal function enzymes. Necrosis, hyperplastic growth, hypertrophy and toxicant accumulation exhibited cerebral toxicity potential of industrial toxicants. A significant decrease in antioxidants, GSH, SOD and catalase (0.14, 0.66 and 1549 unit/mg protein) in chronic exposure group in comparison to 0.18, 2.83, 7680 and 6200.8 values of GSH, SOD, GPx and CAT, respectively. Results showed that acute and chronic industrial effluent exposure caused genotoxicity with higher frequencies of formation of micronuclei and cytokaryotic fusion.

    Abstract Background: Shoulder impingement syndrome is the painful entrapment of the soft tissues between the acromion and the humeral head. The severity of shoulder impingement could be graded according to the limitation of shoulder joint moment. The reliability of sonographic findings in the grading of shoulder impingement severity grading is required to be evaluated by the consistency of findings between the observers.
    Purpose: To assess the interobserver agreement in the sonographic severity grading of shoulder impingement syndrome with the help of a ratio between acromion-to-greater tuberosity distance in the abduction and neutral arm position.
    Material and methods: Patients were examined by two independent observers in the coronal approach with neutral arm position. Acromion-to-greater tuberosity distance was measured in abduction and neutral shoulder position. The ratios of the distances in the abduction and neutral position were calculated to grade the severity of shoulder impingement syndrome.
    Results: A total of 78 shoulders were included in this study. A strong agreement was found for the grading of shoulder impingement severity grading between the two independent observers with Kappa value of 0.94. And correlation between the results of the two observers for the severity grading of shoulder impingement syndrome was significant at 0.01 level.
    Conclusion: Severity grading of the shoulder impingement syndrome was performed based on the ratio of acromion-to-greater tuberosity distance in abduction and neutral arm position. However, the sonographic findings were consistent and a strong interobserver agreement was seen in this sonographic severity grading.

    Abstract Background: Shoulder impingement syndrome is one of the main causes of shoulder disability of working-class individuals. Currently, dynamic sonography of the shoulder is the modality of choice for the evaluation of shoulder impingement syndrome. The ratio of subacromial contents (SAC) and subacromial space (SAS) in neutral arm position could be used as a diagnostic parameter for the subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), especially in patients who have difficulties in the elevation of their shoulders due to pain. To use the SAC to SAS ratio as a sonographic criterion for the diagnosis of SIS.
    Methods: SAC and SAS of 772 shoulders were vertically measured in coronal view with linear transducer 7-14MHz of Toshiba Xario Prime ultrasound unit, while the patient arm was kept in the neutral position. The ratio of both the measurements was calculated, to be used as a diagnostic parameter of the SIS.
    Results: The mean SAS was 10.79 ± 1.94 mm and SAC was 7.65 ± 1.43 mm. SAC-to-SAS ratio for normal shoulders was a focused value with narrow standard deviation (0.66 ± 0.03). However, shoulder impingement is confirmed by any value falls out of the range of ratio for normal shoulders. Area under the curve at 95% confidence interval was 96%, while the sensitivity at 95% confidence interval was 99.25% (97.83%-99.85%), and specificity was 80.86% (76.48%-84.74%).
    Conclusion: SAC-to-SAS ratio in neutral arm position is a relatively more accurate sonographic technique for the diagnosis of SIS.

    Abstract Objective: To find out correlation of body measurements and exercise with blood pressure among medical students in Lahore, Pakistan. Study Design: Correlational study. Place and Duration of Study: Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental College, Lahore, from May to Jul 2018. Methodology: A sample of 332 students was recruited through simple random sampling technique. Resting blood pressure in sitting position along with body mass index of respondents were taken after informed consent. Results: Mean age of respondents was 21.06 ± 1.53 years. Mean sitting systolic blood pressure was 117.5 ± 8.24mm Hg, Mean sitting diastolic blood pressure was 77.9 ± 7.05mm Hg. Significant association was found between weight and both Systolic (r=1, p≤0.00) and Diastolic (r=0.01, p=0.05) blood pressure. Height was negatively correlated with systolic blood pressure (r=-0.004) and diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.07). Body mass index was also significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (r=1, p≤0.00) and diastolic blood pressures (r=0.14, p=0.00). Significant association is found between systolic blood pressure and exercise with number of days (r=-0.15, p=0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.11, p=0.00) and duration of exercise with systolic blood pressure (r=-0.13, p=0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (r=-0.16, p=0.04). Conclusion: Weight and Body mass index are positively correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Keywords: , , , .

    Abstract Pickering emulsions are suspensions of droplets of one liquid in another immiscible liquid which are stabilized by solid particles adsorbed at the droplet-liquid interface. The stabilization of emulsion is done by the solid particles that physically prevent droplets from coalescing. It is possible to alter the emulsifying capabilities of starch by expanding its surface area or changing its charge. Pickering emulsions are stabilized by components such as starch, cellulose, or chitosan. Starch based Pickering emulsions are highly biodegradable and have low toxicity. The inclusion of starch assists in the development of more stable and long-lasting emulsions, extending the shelf life of the developed products. Starch stabilized Pickering emulsions can be utilized to encapsulate pharmaceuticals or nutrients for systemic or targeted administration. The potential for controlled release of Pickering emulsions is highlighted in this review when behavior varies in response to environmental factors like temperature, pH, or light. The investigation emphasized Pickering emulsions with biocompatible and biodegradable particles and focused on numerous environmentally friendly and sustainable techniques for making Pickering emulsions, such as using waste or renewable resource-derived particles. The review focuses on the development, characterization, and applications of Pickering emulsions based on biological macromolecules of starch.

    Abstract Germ cell tumours are common among young males with excellent outcomes even in advanced stages. Despite a superb curability rate, treatment-related side effects and complications affect the quality of life. We report a case where Cisplatin-based chemotherapy, the backbone for germ cell tumours treatment, led to ischemic insult. The purpose is to highlight the importance of keeping the incidence of ischemic events following cisplatin-based chemotherapy in differentials for effective management.
