Objective: To estimate concentration of six heavy metals (Copper, Ferric, Cadmium, Chromium, Nickel and Lead) in water, sediments and some organs (gills, fins and muscles) of fish collected from river Ravi. Methods: The accumulation level was recorded through atomic absorption spectrophotometer whereas, physiochemical parameters were also studied through testing water quality. Results: The heavy metal analysis indicated that the level of Fe was maximum in water and sediments followed by Ni and Pb. Other metals, Cu and Cr were also above permissible standards for drinking water. Further metal concentration was lower in bank water of river than in the main stream. The gills have higher metal accumulation level which is most likely due to direct contact with water followed by fins and muscles. The pattern of accumulation was Cadmium < Chromium < Nickel < Cupper < Lead < Ferric in fish organs. Higher concentrations of ALP and ASP than reference value which showed that the metal pollutants had started damaging the fish organs. Conclusions: In conclusion, the accumulation of all studied metals was higher in water and sediments than WHO permission standards. Same was true in the case of studied fish organs. Further, metals also fluctuate the hematological parameters of O. bimaculatus.","PeriodicalId":19844,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan BioMedical Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83717327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The global rise in the incidence of bacteremia necessitates the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens to ensure effective patient health management. Objective: To investigate antimicrobial drug resistance trends among bacteria causing bloodstream infections from a diagnostic centre in Lahore. Methods: This research was conducted at the Institute of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of the Punjab, Lahore and Citilab and Research Centre, Lahore, from January 2020 to December 2022. A total of 2919 blood samples were cultured to screen the bacteremia patients. Following standard protocols, four hundred twenty isolates proceeded for gram-staining, biochemical characterization, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The AST results of each strain calculated multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR). Results: Of 420 bacterial isolates, Gram-negative and Gram-positive isolates accounted for 48.57% and 51.43%, respectively. The predominant pathogens were Staphylococcus epidermidis (48.10%) and Salmonella typhi (27.14%), with other significant pathogens including Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter, Acinetobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp., Citrobacter, Morganella morganii, and Proteus mirabilis. AST revealed high resistance to Cephalosporins, Nitrofurantoin, Fosfomycin, and Quinolones. In contrast, Carbapenems demonstrated notable sensitivity. Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibit the highest MAR values.

Varicocele repair has shown promise in improving sperm parameters, but further research is needed, especially in nonobstructive azoospermia cases. Techniques such as microscopic testicular sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection have shown some success in achieving pregnancies. Objective: To articulate our hands-on experience and understanding pertaining to varicocele. Methods: This study included patients who presented to our clinic due to varicocele and underwent surgical procedures between November 2020 and January 2023. Results: This research involved 26 varicocele patients, primarily age rage was 27.5 years old. The majority (85%) had varicocele on the left side, and 15% had bilateral varicocele. The mean vein diameter was 3.58mm and 2.6mm for the left side and bilateral cases respectively, with a general average of 3.45mm. Analysis of sperm count, motility, and morphology reflected an average of 32.6 million/ml, 23.2%, and 5.23%, respectively. An average of 4.45 veins was ligated during surgery, with a slight variance based on the side. One patient lost approximately 85% of the testicular blood supply due to a complication during surgery, leading to testicle hardening without atrophy. Two patients experienced recurrence (7.6% recurrence rate). Negative and positive correlations were found between the number of ligated veins and preoperative sperm count (p=0.043, r=-0.408), and vein diameter and preoperative sperm morphology (p=0.004, r=0.544), respectively.

Case Summary: We present a case of anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) driven by coronary artery thrombosis. The patient upon diagnosis was found to have a clot in proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patient was treated and discharged on anticoagulation therapy. We examined and report the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy via a novel oral anticoagulant. i.e. Rivaroxaban for managing the risk of coronary artery thrombosis associated with AWMI within our patient. Onset of coronary artery thrombosis is associated with the mortality in myocardial infarct patients, regardless of its timing. This calls out for the need to manage the disease by adopting strategies that would prevent the frequent onset of these events in myocardial infarction survivors.

Irisin has a molecular weight of 23,231 KDa and belongs to the domain containing 5 (FNDC5) family. It has been shown to have some very beneficial effects in humans, such as thermoregulation and weight loss, and it is also secreted by the muscles of humans when they exercise or work out. The gene symbol for irisin is FNDC5, which represents the precursor of irisin. At the protein level, both FNDC5 and irisin have characteristics that are similar, but FNDC5 is not appropriate in some situations. It is released during physical activity and is linked to a variety of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, lipid metabolism, heart disease, NAFLD, PCOS, and metabolic diseases of the bones. Irisin is not only responsible for the disorders, but it also has the potential to be used as a biomarker for specific diseases. Humans and mice have both shown that myokine irisin promotes the browning of white adipose tissues while simultaneously increasing thermogenesis and energy expenditures. Irisin therapy reduces body weight while also increasing brown fat-specific gene expression in the patient. Irisin increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cancer.
