    Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the capacity to renew blood cells at all stages of life and are largely quiescent at a steady state. It is essential to understand the processes that govern quiescence in HSCs to enhance bone marrow transplantation. It is hypothesized that in their quiescent state, HSCs primarily use glycolysis for energy production rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). In addition, the HSC switch from quiescence to activation occurs along a continuous developmental path that is driven by metabolism. Specifying the metabolic regulation pathway of HSC quiescence will provide insights into HSC homeostasis for therapeutic application. Therefore, understanding the metabolic demands of HSCs at a steady state is key to developing innovative hematological therapeutics. Lysosomes are the major degradative organelle in eukaryotic cells. Catabolic, anabolic, and lysosomal function abnormalities are connected to an expanding list of diseases. In recent years, lysosomes have emerged as control centers of cellular metabolism, particularly in HSC quiescence, and essential regulators of cell signaling have been found on the lysosomal membrane. In addition to autophagic processes, lysosomal activities have been shown to be crucial in sustaining quiescence by restricting HSCs access to a nutritional reserve essential for their activation into the cell cycle. Lysosomal activity may preserve HSC quiescence by altering glycolysis-mitochondrial biogenesis. The understanding of HSC metabolism has significantly expanded over the decade, revealing previously unknown requirements of HSCs in both their dividing (active) and quiescent states. Therefore, understanding the role of lysosomes in HSCs will allow for the development of innovative treatment methods based on HSCs to fight clonal hematopoiesis and HSC aging.

    Abstract Introduction: Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable disease, and hepatitis C is amenable to treatment. Both are highly prevalent in the prison population. This project provides a comprehensive evaluation of current hepatitis services at Her Majesty's Prison Birmingham, assessing progress since previous work and proposing further suggestions for improvement.
    Methods: A review of hepatitis services was undertaken in 2013, in the context of underperformance against national targets. This revealed that the hepatitis B vaccination and hepatitis C testing coverage was 22% and 0%, respectively. A resulting service improvement plan included interventions such as the development of a bloodborne virus (BBV) policy, implementing opt-out testing and introducing dried blood spot testing for ease of administration. In 2015, national guidelines were used to evaluate current practice, with comparison to previous practice. The indicators assessed included BBV policy, vaccination and testing protocols, prisoner education and reporting of results. Discussions were held with prison stakeholders to address areas that required development, producing a revised action plan.
    Results: Hepatitis services were available to all prisoners starting their sentence in 2015, n=4998. Testing was offered on an opt-out basis to all entrants, increasing the testing coverage by 7.6% from 2013. Vaccination was offered to 57% of entrants, with coverage slightly lower than 2013, largely due to prisoner refusal. In light of this, many strategies were devised to educate prisoners, increase opportunities to receive testing and vaccination, and decrease the risk of patients being lost to follow-up. An update in 2016 saw progress in many of these areas.
    Discussion: Being in prison provides offenders with stability in their lifestyle and easier access to healthcare services. By optimising these services in line with national guidance, and implementing specific strategies to encourage uptake of hepatitis testing and vaccination, we may be better able to serve this vulnerable sector of the population.

    Abstract Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death in which a cell commits suicide while maintaining the integrity and architecture of the tissue as a whole. Apoptosis involves activation of one of two major pathways: the extrinsic pathway, where extracellular pro-apoptotic signals, transduced through plasma membrane death receptors, activate a caspase cascade leading to apoptosis. The second, the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, where damaged DNA, oxidative stress, or chemicals, induce the release of pro-apoptotic proteins from the mitochondria, leading to the activation of caspase-dependent and independent apoptosis. However, it has recently become apparent that proteins involved in apoptosis also exhibit non-cell death-related physiological functions that are related to the cell cycle, differentiation, metabolism, inflammation or immunity. Such non-conventional activities were predominantly reported in non-cancer cells although, recently, such a dual function for pro-apoptotic proteins has also been reported in cancers where they are overexpressed. Interestingly, some apoptotic proteins translocate to the nucleus in order to perform a non-apoptotic function. In this review, we summarize the unconventional roles of the apoptotic proteins from a functional perspective, while focusing on two mitochondrial proteins: VDAC1 and SMAC/Diablo. Despite having pro-apoptotic functions, these proteins are overexpressed in cancers and this apparent paradox and the associated pathophysiological implications will be discussed. We will also present possible mechanisms underlying the switch from apoptotic to non-apoptotic activities although a deeper investigation into the process awaits further study.

    Abstract Tasleem Arif Postgraduate Department of Dermatology, STD and Leprosy, Government Medical College, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Abstract: Salicylic acid has been used to treat various skin disorders for more than 2,000 years. The ability of salicylic acid to exfoliate the stratum corneum makes it a good agent for peeling. In particular, the comedolytic property of salicylic acid makes it a useful peeling agent for patients with acne. Once considered as a keratolytic agent, the role of salicylic acid as a desmolytic agent, because of its ability to disrupt cellular junctions rather than breaking or lysing intercellular keratin filaments, is now recognized and is discussed here. Salicylic acid as a peeling agent has a number of indications, including acne vulgaris, melasma, photodamage, freckles, and lentigines. The efficacy and safety of salicylic acid peeling in Fitzpatrick skin types I–III as well as in skin types V and VI have been well documented in the literature. This paper reviews the available data and literature on salicylic acid as a peeling agent and its possible indications. Its properties, efficacy and safety, the peeling procedure, and possible side effects are discussed in detail. An account of salicylism is also included.

    Abstract Background and aim: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) refers to intracranial hemorrhages frequently caused by minor head trauma and is mostly seen in middle and advanced age. One of the hypotheses regarding the development of CSH is that the inflammatory cascade plays a pivotal role in this process.
    Materials and methods: The inclusion criteria covered patients in all ages who were diagnosed as CSH by computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging and treated by surgical intervention in our clinic between 2018 and 2020. Patient files were reviewed retrospectively, and medical records of age, gender, trauma history, unilateral or bilateral lesion, and leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocytes, and platelet counts were obtained. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used for the most appropriate neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and age discrimination in the presence of CSH, and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to determine the effect of independent factors on dependent variables.
    Results: A total of 68 cases, 57 (83.8%) male and 11 (16.2%) female, aged between 13 and 93, were included in the study. The mean age of the patients included in the study was 72.59 ± 13.13 years. NLR of the cases ranged from 1.37 to 34.18, with a mean of 6.53 ± 6.74 and a median of 3.57. NLR and PLR were found to be statistically significantly higher in CSH patients compared to the healthy control group, and the cut-off values for NLR, PLR, and age were 2.8, 132, and 55, respectively. Age and NLR were found to be independent factors associated with CSH (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: As seen from the results of this study, peripheral blood values in CSH patients may be significantly higher than in the healthy control group, while they are below the normal laboratory cut-off values.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effects of cervical stabilisation exercises on respiratory strength in chronic neck pain patients with forward head posture. The study was conducted from August 2020 to February 2021, at the Jinnah Hospital, Lahore; 44 patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned to two groups-experimental group and control group-. Baseline measurement was taken for numeric pain rating scale, neck disability index, craniovertebral angle, single breath count, and spirometry and all the measurements were retaken at the completion of the fourth week. Results were not significant (p>0.05) before the treatment in both groups but post-intervention results revealed significant differences in both the groups (p<0.05), with the experimental group showing more improvement. Four weeks of cervical stabilisation with isometric exercises is more effective in the management of pain, forward head posture, neck disability and respiratory strength as compared with the four weeks of isometric exercises programme alone.

    Abstract Objective: Diabetes is a chronic fatal disease that has affected millions of people all over the globe. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90% of the affected population among all types of diabetes. Millions of T2DM patients remain undiagnosed due to lack of awareness and under resourced healthcare system. So, there is a dire need for a diagnostic and prognostic tool that shall help the healthcare providers, clinicians and practitioners with early prediction and hence can recommend the lifestyle changes required to stop the progression of diabetes. The main objective of this research is to develop a framework based on machine learning techniques using only lifestyle indicators for prediction of T2DM disease. Moreover, prediction model can be used without visiting clinical labs and hospital readmissions.
    Method: A proposed framework is presented and implemented based on machine learning paradigms using lifestyle indicators for better prediction of T2DM disease. The current research has involved different experts like Diabetologists, Endocrinologists, Dieticians, Nutritionists, etc. for selecting the contributing 1552 instances and 11 attributes lifestyle biological features to promote health and manage complications towards T2DM disease. The dataset has been collected through survey and google forms from different geographical regions.
    Results: Seven machine learning classifiers were employed namely K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Linear Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF) and Gradient Boosting (GB). Gradient Boosting classifier outperformed best with an accuracy rate of 97.24% for training and 96.90% for testing separately followed by RF, DT, NB, SVM, LR, and KNN as 95.36%, 92.52%, 90.72%, 90.20%, 90.20% and 77.06% respectively. However, in terms of precision, RF achieved high performance (0.980%) and KNN performed the lowest (0.793%). As far as recall is being concerned, GB achieved the highest rate of 0.975% and KNN showed the worst rate of 0.774%. Also, GB is top performed in terms of f1-score. According to the ROCs, GB and NB had a better area under the curve compared to the others.
    Conclusion: The research developed a realistic health management system for T2DM disease based on machine learning techniques using only lifestyle data for prediction of T2DM. To extend the current study, these models shall be used for different, large and real-time datasets which share the commonality of data with T2DM disease to establish the efficacy of the proposed system.
