Diabetes mellitus is a clinical condition characterized by hyperglycemia and other abnormalities of carbohydrates, lipid and protein metabolism due to insufficient or inefficient insulin action. The exact mechanism by which diabetes mellitus occurs is still being debated. Albino rats weighing 120 to 160/grammes were rendered diabetic by alloxan administration (0.11 per gramme) after an overnight fast. Control animals were treated with normal saline. Glucose was determined again on fourth day of alloxan administration and the animals exhibiting fasting blood glucose range >7.78mmol/L was used in the experiment. The body weight of the diabetic rats (133.83±4.67 grammes) was found to be greater than the control rats (121.67±3.25 grammes). There was normal glucose level before induction (i.e. the mean against SEM is 4.63±0.11 mmol/L) but after induction of alloxan the blood glucose level increased to 8.91±0.34 mmol/L, indicating a significant difference at p˂0.05. The weight of the liver after induction of diabetes mellitus also increased. Histopathological studies show liver developed mild and moderate microsteatosis. Experimental diabetes induced by alloxan resulted in fat accumulation in the liver. Whether this is as a result of the condition or is the cause of diabetes mellitus remains to be determined.

The importance of this study lies in the fact that this shift is one of the most recurrent and rich rhetorical phenomena in the Qurʼan. Historically, this phenomenon was not labeled al-iltifāt until the time of ibn al-Mutazz (d. 296/908), but it was given various names, such as al-ṣarf’, alinṣrāf, al-udūl, al-talawūn and mukhālafat muqtaḍa al-ẓāhir. All of these names are now less common than the term al-iltifāt. However, it did not receive a detailed and comprehensive study, especially in the field of translation, as far as I know, to unveil the aesthetic values and the inimitable aspects of the Qurʼanic discourse. For this reason, this paper aims to evaluate some selected English translations of the Qurʼan, with regard to this kind of shift; to analyse this feature, stylistically and rhetorically; and, finally, to draw up a suitable and appropriate translation, which nei...

In the wild, ostriches dwell in flocks of five to fifty and perform well in captivity. Ostrich chicks' early development rate is critical in preparing the bird for later growth up till the slaughter mass. The original egg mass from which the bird emerges determines the hatching weight. Ostrich chicks lose up to 20% of their weight in the first five to seven days after hatching.The typical carcass weight of an ostrich might be 57-58 percent of the live body weight.On a monthly basis, weight and height were determined, and given feed was calculated on a daily basis. The variation in growth rates between the two farms is due to the fact that the Balouch ostrich farm has far better conditions for birds and provides more food, whilst the Hamayoon ostrich farm has a lower growth rate due to restricted food availa...

NAFLD includes a spectrum of progressive liver disease from steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and cirrhosis and can be complicated by hepatocellular carcinoma. It is strongly associated with metabolic syndromes, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, and it has been shown that metabolic dysregulation is central to its pathogenesis. Recently, it has been suggested that metabolic- (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a more appropriate term to describe the disease than NAFLD, which puts increased emphasis on the important role of metabolic dysfunction in its pathogenesis. There is strong evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in the development and progression of NAFLD. Impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and, more recently, a reduction in mitochondrial quality, have been suggested to play a major role i...

Methods: We retrospectively identified 633 consecutive patients who had undergone surgery for infective endocarditis at our center between January 2005 and October 2018. The patients were interviewed, and the SF-36 survey was used to assess the HRQOL of survivors. Propensity score matching (2:1) was performed with data from a German reference population. Multivariable analysis incorporated binary logistic regression using a forward stepwise (conditional) model. Results: The median age of the cohort was 67 (55–74) years, and 75.6% were male. Operative mortality was 13.7% in the NVE group and 21.6% in the PVE group (p = 0.010). The overall survival at 1 year was 88.0% and was comparable between the groups. The physical health summary scores were 49 (4...

In addition, it explicates the views of both ancient and modern linguists and philologists concerning such a phenomenon. Some of them, like Fakhr Al-Dīn Al-Razī (d. 478/1085), Al-Zajjāj (d. 310/922) and Al-Fayrūzabadī (d. 817/1415), argue for the existence of synonymy, and others, like Abū Helāl Al-‘Askarī (d. 395/1005), Ahmad ibn Faris (d. 395/1004) and Al-Tha’ālebī (d. 429/1038), reject the existence of synonymy. Obviously, the phenomenon of synonymity divided linguists and scholars into two groups, namely proponents, who defended synonymy and argued for its occurrence in languages, in general, on one hand, and opponents, who denied its existence in general, and in the Holy Qur?ān in particular, like Al-Khattabī (d. 388/988) and Bint Al-Shāti? (d. 1419/1998), on the other hand.

Recent studies have shown that the incidents of cybercrime vastly involve youngsters, which has serious consequences for them as victims and as cyber offenders. The existing body of knowledge related to cybercrime focus upon various issues of internet in general and social media in particular. However, a thorough approach on the issues of cybercrime with relevance to youth is missing. Therefore, this study tries to fill this gap by offering youth and victim-based approach on the issues pertaining to cybercrime. For attaining this purpose, qualitative research approach was adopted in conducting this research project. Semi structured interviews were conducted with 40 young victims of cybercrime. The respondents were recruited through purposive sampling from district Peshawar of 18 to 25 years of age. Furthermore, the respondents were recruited from three clusters of distri...

Patients scheduled for elective bariatric surgery were prospectively recruited from a bariatric clinic. An intraoperative liver biopsy was performed, and liver histology was evaluated by a pathologist blinded to the patients’ data. The endpoint was significant fibrosis defined as fibrosis stage ≥ 2. Independent predictors of fibrosis were identified by logistic regression. Two hundred ten patients were recruited. Liver histology revealed steatosis in 87.1%, steatohepatitis in 21.9%, and significant fibrosis in 10%. Independent predictors of significant fibrosis were ALP (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.03; 95% Confidence interval (CI), 1.01–1.05), alanine aminotransferase (OR 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01–1.03), HbA1c (OR 1.58; 95% CI, 1.20–2.09), and body mass index (OR 1.06; 95% CI, 1.00–1.13).

We consider a curve = (s) in Minkowski 3-space E31 and denote by fT;N;Bg the Frenet frame of . We say that is a slant helix if there exists a xed direction U of E31 such that the function ⟨N(s); U ⟩ is constant. In this work we give characterizations of slant helices in terms of the curvature and torsion of . Finally, we discuss the tangent and binormal indicatrices of slant curves, proving that they are helices in E31.

In her book, she dealt with the functional approaches to translation, including new concepts, in theory, which require re-adaptation matching the other culture, i.e., the target Arabic, trying to find a full equivalent or a near-equivalent thereof. The novelty in this field lies in the theorization of translation studies and its theories and concepts as well, except for some cases. It is commonly acknowledged that translation, as a branch of knowledge, is early practiced; it bridged the gap between civilizations and some branches of knowledge among the peoples of the world over ages. However, it was basically based on the axiomatic practice, devoid of any theoretical an...

Enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is an emerging biologicallybased ground improvement technique that precipitates calcium carbonate within the pores of a granular soil via hydrolysis of urea catalyzed by free urease enzyme. In this study, samples of a natural beach sand were treated using an EICP solution at one, two, and three cycles of treatment (one pore volume per treatment cycle). Strength and carbonate content of the treated specimens were measured using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) testing and acid digestion. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate the morphology of the precipitates. The treated specimens showed average UCS of 145 kPa, 241 kPa, and 483 kPa at average carbonate content of 1.96%, 2.98%, and 3.69% (corresponding to one, two, and three cycles), respectively. Calcite was observed to be the main crystal ...
