The clinical features of the leishmaniases differ, and in general, these diseases have different geographic distributions. The face, hands, and feet represent the body parts that are most frequently infected by the parasite. If not treat promptly Lieshmania causes permanent scars, in Aghanistan it has become a significant social issue due to limited awareness and the perception that those who suffer from Leishmanian scars are flawed individuals. \u0000Methods: This is prospective cross-sectional study conducted from March2023 to February 2024 in Nangarhar University Teaching Hospital including all those patients who had cutaneous Lieshmaniasi. \u0000Result: Over the course of a year, this study was carried out in the dermatology department of Nangarhar University Teaching Hospital. 26574 patients visited the Dermatology department this year; 347 (1.3%) of them had cutaneous leishmaniasis, male were more affected by the disease (63.2%); majority of the affected individuals were resident of the rural areas (82.42%) and (84.43%) were represented with ulcerated lesions. five individuals complained about the disease for two years, and one person for four years. \u0000Conclusion: Illiteracy, poverty and rural life contribute to the disease’s high incidence in the east zone of Afghanistan.

The SCA smoothly transits from exploration to exploitation using adaptive range change in the sine and cosine functions. On the other hand, pressure vessel design is a complex engineering structural optimization problem, which aims to find the best possible design for a vessel that can withstand high pressure. This typically involves optimizing the material, shape, and thickness of the vessel to minimize welding, the material, and forming cost while ensuring it meets safety and performance requirements. This paper evaluates the performance of SCA for solving pressure vessel design problems. The result produced by SCA is compared with the results obtained by other well-known metaheuristic optimization algorithms, namely; ABC, ACO, BBO, CMA-ES, CS, DE, GA, GSA, GWO, HSA, PSO, SSO, TLBO and TSA. The experimental results demonstrated that SCA provides a competitive solution to other metaheuristic optimization algorithms with the advantage of having a simple structured search equation. Moreover, the performance of SCA is checked by different numbers of populations and the results indicated that the best possible population size should be 30 and 40. In addition to this, the SCA search agent success rate is checked for different numbers of populations and results show that the search agent success rate do not exceed 4.2%.","PeriodicalId":507877,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141348986","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 patient had a history of amenorrhea for three months and no family history of autoimmune disease or drug-induced liver injury. Upon examination, the patient exhibited deep icterus and mild tender hepatomegaly, but without signs of acute liver failure. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated liver function markers and positive autoimmune antibodies, including antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA), while ruling out other possible etiologies such as viral hepatitis, Wilson's disease, and hemochromatosis. Imaging studies showed features of acute hepatitis, and liver biopsy could not be performed due to prolonged prothrombin time. The patient was diagnosed with probable autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and initiated on a treatment regimen consisting of prednisolone 40 mg daily, which was gradually tapered over time and added azathioprine 100 mg daily. The patient demonstrated significant improvement in liver function tests with this treatment approach. However, she discontinued treatment on her own accord but continued to have normal liver function during subsequent follow-up visits. During the consultation, the patient and healthcare provider engaged in a comprehensive discussion concerning the significance of sustained treatment over an extended period and the inherent possibility of relapse.","PeriodicalId":507877,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273525","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}

Understanding the trends in water quality changes in seas enables the anticipation of future challenges and the implementation of plans to address them. Water quality management necessitates the collection and analysis of a vast amount of data and water quality parameters. To facilitate this, various tools have been developed for simpler assessment of data and water quality, among which water quality indices are highly utilized. The objective of this study is to assess the water quality of the Balkh Sea using the (IRWQISC) and (IRWQIST) indices, alongside examining the levels of heavy metals, cations, anions, and its physical characteristics. Sampling was conducted at two time points: initially in October 2022, with heavy metal analysis performed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS), and subsequently in April 2023, where samples were collected from various points, and the concentrations of cations, anions, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) were measured. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26, and ArcGIS 10.4.1 was employed for map production. The research findings indicate a trend of heavy metal changes as follows: Al>As>Pb>Cd>(Cr=Co=Ni)>Hg. Based on the calculation of the toxicity index (IRWQIST), the studied water falls into the poor category. Consequently, sea water, due to the presence of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, is relatively to very toxic and unsuitable for drinking. Additionally, it may cause detrimental effects for other uses such as agriculture and livestock farming.","PeriodicalId":507877,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141122054","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}
