During the last 100 years, musculoskeletal radiology has developed from bone-only radiography performed by everyone to a dedicated subspecialty, still secure in its origins in radiography but having expanded into all modalities of imaging. Like other subspecialties in radiology, it has become heavily dependent on cross-sectional and functional imaging, and musculoskeletal interventions play an imp

This article assesses the status of the solid waste management system (SWMS) in Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan, using the material flow analysis approach, a widely applied method in waste management (WM) studies. It involves a systematic assessment of the material flows of solid waste under the current WM system. A material flow diagram is developed to visualize the input and output waste f

V/P SPECT from 4 consecutive patients with COVID-19 suggests that ventilation and perfusion images may be applied to diagnose or exclude pulmonary embolism, verify nonsegmental diversion of perfusion from the ventilated areas (dead space ventilation) that may represent inflammation of the pulmonary vasculature, detect the reversed mismatch of poor ventilation and better preserved perfusion (shunt

Aims: The aims of this article were to examine the various meanings ascribed by three stakeholder groups – social workers, journalists and individuals with previous experience of problematic drinking – to four widely used terms in the alcohol field – alcoholism, alcohol dependence, alcohol misuse and risky drinking – and to examine how variations in the definitions of these terms correspond to spe

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the principle public health problems in the 21st century, threatening the available treatment strategies for bacterial infections. Here, we present a human protein-lipid complex, HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) purified from human milk as a potential therapeutic agent which has both tumoricidal and bactericidal activity. HAMLET’s

The effort to address climate change cuts across a wide range of non-environmental actors and policy areas, including international economic institutions such as the Group of Twenty (G20), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These institutions do not tend to address climate change so much as an environmental issue, but as an eco

This pictorial presentation of childhood aims to provide a visual depiction of the social value of the children in rural Punjabi socio-cultural context. I took these photographs in a village in south Punjab, Pakistan while doing an ethnographic inquiry about infant healthcare belief practices and the social value of the child in rural Punjab.

In this chapter, we describe the post-colonial history of higher education (HE) in Kenya and Uganda to explain why domestic doctoral education is still at a young stage in both countries. We present their national HE frameworks, and thereafter focus on local policy and practice in two public universities: Makerere University in Uganda and the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Our results are informe

Purpose – This study aims to understand master’s students’ experiences of service-learning, following their participation in a workshop with local social innovators whose activities had contributed to combating poverty in East Africa and to determine how this participation affected work on the students’ theses. The authors also explored possible gender differences in this context. Design/methodolo

Lucas, Voss, and Paller sympathize with our intentions but disagree with our findings. They argue that a relation between frequency and conceptual priming may have been obscured by methodological details in our second experiment, therefore failing to complete a bridge between conceptual priming and FN400 with name frequency as the mediator. However, renewed inspections of our experiment and a new

The data in the current paper constitutes supplementary material to our article entitled “Plasma tumour and metabolism related biomarkers AMBP, LPL and Glyoxalase I differentiate heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with pulmonary hypertension from pulmonary arterial hypertension” Ahmed et al. (2021). The study investigated 69 plasma tumour- and metabolism related proteins in healthy con

Recognizing diversity within everyone’s lived experience:Strengthening the theoretical foundations of Universal DesignThis paper situates Universal Design (UD) within the framework ofsocial justice theory, drawing Honneth’s conceptualisation of socialjustice as mutual recognition. It takes as a starting point theperspective that UD requires a robust theorisation and rationale tosupport implementat
