Abstract	The Taliban's prohibition of women working in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has severely impacted essential health services in Afghanistan since its enactment in late 2022. This ban has led to the suspension of numerous health and nutrition teams, reduced counseling services, and closure of safe spaces for women and girls. The significant contribution of women in the healthcare sector is evidenced by their presence in various NGOs, with their absence causing a critical shortage of female health personnel. This has further exacerbated the hunger crisis in Afghanistan, putting millions at risk. The international community urgently needs to address this issue to protect human rights and safeguard the well-being of the affected population.

Abstract	Following the Taliban's takeover in August 2021, Afghanistan confronts compounded challenges from both seismic political shifts and catastrophic natural events. Earthquakes in Khost and Herat provinces have resulted in thousands of casualties, with the majority being women and children, highlighting structural vulnerabilities of Afghan homes made from sun-dried bricks. Concurrently, the Taliban's restriction on women's participation in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has strained essential health and aid services. This situation is exacerbated by international decisions to reduce aid allocations. This convergence of crises has disproportionately affected women and children, with potential surges in malnutrition, diseases, and child marriages. This scenario underscores the urgent need for the global community to prioritize humanitarian considerations over political disagreements, ensuring aid reaches the vulnerable and NGOs can operate amidst ongoing challenges.

Abstract	Fibroadenoma (FA) in ectopic male breast tissue is extremely rare. The ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is mostly appearing along the milk line; however, uncommon locations are also seen, such as the present case. Case presentation: The authors report a 19-year-old male presenting with intestinal obstruction. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery, and an excisional biopsy of the lesion was done. The histopathologic result confirms FA arising from EBT. This case is reported for its rarity. It indicates that FA should always be considered when there is an intra-abdominal suspicious mass. Discussion: EBT presenting as FA is also reported in the face, posterior neck, chest, middle back, buttocks, vulvar, and thighs. In this case, the authors present a EBT presented as a FA in the intra-abdomen of a young male patient, causing intestinal obstruction. FA in the male breast is rare; however, benign breast parenchyma showing FA in the intra-abdomen of a male patient is extremely rare. Conclusion: When a tumor is palpated in the milk line, the existence of FA should be taken into consideration. FA of the male EBT in the intra-abdomen is extremely rare. However, a close follow-up of the patient is strongly recommended, as the carcinoma arising from FA has a very poor prognosis.

Abstract	Barchan dunes are among the most common accumulative phenomena made by wind erosion, which are usually formed in regions where the prevailing wind direction is almost constant throughout the year and there is not enough sand to completely cover the land surface. Barchans are among the most common windy landscapes in Pashoueyeh Erg in the west of Lut Desert, Iran. This study aims to elaborate on morphological properties of barchans in this region using mathematical and statistical models. The results of these methods are very important in investigating barchan shapes and identifying their behavior. Barchan shapes were mathematically modeled by simulating them in the coordinate system through nonlinear parabolic equations, so that two separate equations were calculated for barchan windward and slip-face parabolas. The type and intensity of relationships between barchan morphology and mathematical parameters were determined by the statistical modeling. The results indicated that the existing relationships followed the power correlation with the maximum coefficient of determination and minimum error of estimate. Combining the above two methods is a powerful basis for stimulating barchans in virtual and laboratory environments. The most important result of this study is to convert the mathematical and statistical models of barchan morphology to each other. Focal length is one of the most important parameters of barchan parabolas, suggesting different states of barchans in comparison with each other. As the barchan’s focal length decreases, its opening becomes narrower, and the divergence of the barchan’s horns reduces. Barchans with longer focal length have greater width, dimensions, and volume. In general, identifying and estimating the morphometric and planar parameters of barchans is effective in how they move, how much they move, and how they behave in the environment. These cases play an important role in the management of desert areas.

Abstract	Cloud and sediment formation is a major problem in juices and drinks. Barberry juice, as a functional and healthy product, is faced with the sedimentation problem, as an emerging issue. The present study was carried out to identify the sediment forming agents in barberry juice concentrate. The sediment was characterized by a range of different analytical techniques including FTIR, UV spectrophotometry, HPLC and LC-MS analysis. The findings of this research revealed that sugar derived organic acids, which were present in high amounts in barberry juice, were mainly responsible for sedimentation of barberry juice concentrate during cold storage. It was reported that such sugar derived acids with active carboxylic groups could cause instability in products rich in these compounds. The isolated sediment could re-crystalize at different juice concentrations with different shapes and sizes as affected by nucleation and crystal growth rates.

Abstract	Introduction: Despite the popularity of clear aligners, their predictability has not been assessed adequately. Moreover, no study has investigated their effects on numerous dentomaxillary variables. Therefore, this study was conducted for the first time, assessing several new or controversial items. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of clear aligners on the vertical position of the molar teeth and the vertical and sagittal relationships of the face. Methods: This preliminary retrospective before-after non-randomized clinical trial was performed on 168 observations of 84 patients (33.60±9.28 years, 54 females) treated with 0.75mm Invisalign appliances. Pretreatment and posttreatment values were measured for: mandibular plane angle, occlusal plane angle, Y-Axis, ANB, facial angle, lower anterior facial height, overbite, and the distances of the molars from the palate and mandibular plane were measured. The alterations in parameters caused by treatment (delta values) were calculated for each measurement. Effects of treatment and some parameters on delta values were analyzed statistically (α=0.05). Results: Mean±SD of ΔMP-FH, ΔOP-FH, ΔY-Axis, ΔLAFH, ΔNPog-FH, ΔANB, ΔOverbite, ΔSNB, Δ6-PP, Δ7-PP, Δ6-MP, and Δ7-MP were respectively 0.11±1.61, 0.80±1.56, 0.15±1.18, 0.07±0.91, -0.22±1.25, 0.03±0.62, 0.04±1.15, -0.06±1.14, -0.36±0.94, -0.32±1.14, 0.19±0.96, 0.18±1.10. Only the alterations in OP-FH, 6-PP, and 7-PP were significant (P≤0.011). Age, sex, treatment duration, or pretreatment mandibular plane angle were not correlated with any delta values. However, the pretreatment occlusal plane angle was negatively correlated with ΔOP-FH and ΔY-Axis. Crowding was correlated negatively with ΔOP-FH and ΔY-Axis and positively with ΔNPog-FH. Overjet was negatively correlated with ΔANB and ΔOverbite (P≤0.035). Conclusions: Invisalign intruded first/second maxillary molars and increased the occlusal plane angle. Age, sex, and treatment duration were not correlated with post-treatment anatomic alterations.

Abstract	: Development of alloantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII) in patients with severe hemophilia A is the main complication of FVIII replacement therapy. There are many studies indicating several genetic factors associated with inhibitor development. A recent study showed that there is a correlation between the risk of inhibitor development and LCT rs3754689 polymorphism among Italian hemophilia A patients. The aim of this study was to speculate whether LCT rs3754689 polymorphism is correlated to inhibitor development in Afghan and Iranian patients. In addition, we assessed the association of F8 gene mutations and inhibitor development in Iranian patients. This case-control study was conducted on 33 severe hemophilia A patients with inhibitor and 119 samples without inhibitor. Genotyping was performed by Sanger sequencing, inverse and multiplex PCR. According to the obtained data, we found a significant correlation between LCT rs3754689 polymorphism and the risk of inhibitor development in Afghan patients (observed risk, 0.11; 95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.88; P = 0.012). Among Iranian patients, rs3754689 polymorphism showed no significant association with inhibitor development against FVIII (P > 0.05). However, we found a significant correlation between the risk of inhibitor formation and large deletions and nonsense mutations in F8 gene among Iranian patients (observed risk, 7.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.93-27.18; P = 0.003). Lack of association of rs3754689 polymorphism in Iranian population shows the various effects of genetic markers in different populations. More studies in different ethnicities or larger sample sizes are recommended.
