This paper aims to study some unpublished lanterns, preserved in the Islamic Art Museum in Cairo through analytical, historical and artistic study. In general, the lanterns are oil lamps and usually with a large round bulbous body, reaching to a narrower center, where above it is the flaming top section. These lanterns can be placed on a surface, however they were commonly suspended by chains and in these chains there were some loops on the outer surface of the body of lanterns that were used to light mosques or any other architectural buildings during Islamic times and in order to light large areas in groups of lanterns, hanging from a metal frame that had the form of a circle, these circular frames continued to be used in many mosques till nowadays. In researching for the collections and antiques, preserved in the Islamic Art Museum in Cairo, it is observed, that there are some unpublished lanterns, have not been discussed and have not been concentrated and strongly investigated by researchers. This study seeks to discuss these unpublished lanterns that include a significant layout of artistic styles, this is besides the historical and archaeological value of these lanterns. The methodology of this study will be addressed through descriptive, historical, artistic and analytical study; this will be revealed through discussion, investigation, analysis that can be detected through detailed interrogation of the objects, elements and structure of the content of this study.

Islam recommends its followers to protect the body, to enjoy full health and also prohibits them from endangering their own soul (an-Nafs) which is within their body. This study attempts to present the perspective of Islamic Shari‘ah regarding performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) used in sports. This is achieved by showing that using prohibited substances and methods constitutes fraud. Moreover, it also has a detrimental effect on the right to life and the right of bodily integrity. The Problem: The problem states that some sports practitioners accept the idea of taking banned items and consider it to be inevitable in line with the sweeping trend of globalization. However, it is a fact that such behaviour contradicts Islamic ethics and rules which forbid cheating. Methodology: This study employed descriptive, analytical, and inferential methods as these methods suit the objectives and hypotheses of the study. Authenticity and Value: The originality and value of this study appears in its ethical presentation and treatment of the phenomenon which has been stripped of any moral determinant. Findings: The most important finding of this study is that cheating in sports, particularly doping in sports, is a serious problem that needs a radical solution. Furthermore, any respected athlete (male or female) who is taking PEDs should abstain from taking such drugs because it is considered as cheating that harms the body and endangers life. Accordingly, a person who takes prohibited and banned drugs contravenes both the Islamic Shari‘ah and the secular law. Moreover, that person deserves punishment suggested by both of these codes of law.

Abstract Objectives Amenorrhoea in women of reproductive age may be an indication of an undiagnosed and chronic condition. The concept of temperament is a fundamental component of health preservation and diagnosis of various disease conditions including amenorrhoea in Unani medicine. Dystemperament is the commonest cause of various diseases. Therefore, general body temperament and uterine dystemperament in amenorrhoea was determined. Methods A prospective, single-centre, cross-sectional observational study from June to November 2019 was conducted in 80 patients of reproductive age with amenorrhoea ≥60 days. Validated questionnaire for the assessment of women’s general body temperament and clinical features of uterine dystemperament was used. The data were analysed by appropriate statistical analysis. Results The age of patients with amenorrhoea ranged from 14 to 50 years. The most prevalent general body temperament was cold (57.5%) and wet (60%). Cold and wet general temperament was more common at the age of 21–30 years (30 and 36.25%), 60–90 days of amenorrhoea (33.75 and 32.5%) and body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 (47.5 and 50%). The most prevalent uterine dystemperament was cold and dry (95%). A significant correlation between general temperament with age, amenorrhoea and BMI >23 kg/m2 was noted. Moreover, the cold temperament of the body had a significant correlation with cold uterine temperament (r=0.864, p<0.001). Conclusions This study corroborated the claim of Unani scholars that cold and wet general and uterine temperament is more common in amenorrhoea and obesity. However, amenorrhoea can also occur in normal and other temperaments.

AbstractThe recent development of the analytical techniques offers the unprecedented possibility to study simultaneously concentration of dozens of elements in the same biological matrix sample of 0.5–1.0 g (multielement profiles). The first part of this essay entitled “Think globally… An outline of trace elements in health and disease” aims to introduce the reader to the fascinating field of elements, there importance to our nutrition, their essentiality, deficiency, toxicity and bioavailability to the body and their overall role in health and disease, including the genetic metabolic impairments. In the second part of the essay entitled “… and act locally. The multielement profile of depression” we aimed to show the potential of such a hair multielement profile analysis for the study of human depression in a randomized, double blind, prospective, observational, cross-sectional, clinical, epidemiological, and analytical study. The preliminary results of this ongoing study lead us to put forward the hypothesis that the metabolic origin of depression may be due to some “energostat” failure, probably located in the thalamus, and activated by several essential element deficiencies.

Abstract This study aims to add to the body of knowledge on the experiences of families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with the goal of promoting increased participation in community activities. Five factors associated with participation in activities at an art museum were explored, comparing families of children with and without ASD. These factors included both children's frequency of participation and parents' perceptions of the importance of community activities. The differences between groups were statistically significant. Parents of children without ASD reported their children's frequency of participation in museum activities was three times more than parents of children with ASD. Parents of children with ASD reported experiencing three times as many negative emotions associated with museum activities than parents of children without ASD.

Platelets contain a high concentration of the contractile proteins actin and myosin. The properties of these proteins are generally similar to their counterparts in muscle, suggesting that the platelet actin and myosin can generate contractile force. Both proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and little or none of either is present on the outer surface. The distribution of actin in the filopodia and myosin in the body of activated platelets suggests that the force for clot retraction is generated by retraction of the filopodia using a mechanism similar to that in muscle contraction.

The paper proposes a method of rocking the body of a six-legged robot, which provides a flipping of the body and the return of the robot to the operating position. It is shown that the autonomous rescue of the apparatus from an emergency position “upside down” is possible with the help of cyclic movement of the legs, if the body has an upper shell in the form of a truncated cylinder. The legs on the pre-chosen edge of the body through which the flip should occur, are passive, and straightened along the body so that they do not interfere with the flip. The legs on the opposite edge are active; they perform synchronous movement in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body, with a fixed angle in the knee. An analytical study and computer simulation of the full dynamics of the robot were fulfilled which confirmed the effectiveness of the developed technique for restore the functional capability of the robot. Computer simulation was carried out by means of the Universal Mechanism software package. The results of numerical experiments are presented.

Cutaneous amyloidosis is a rare disease that represents mesenchymal dysproteinosis and is characterized by amyloid deposition in the dermis. Generally, it has a benign course, but nodular-plaque option with progression can go into systemic form with unfavorable prognosis, therefore, a regular dynamic assessment of somatic status is necessary. A case of nodular-plaque amyloidosis of the skin is described. On the body of a 64-year old woman, on the outer surface of the lower extremities, symmetrically there were found multiple pinkish-cyanotic nodes 12 cm in diameter, having a dense consistency, which merged into irregularly-shaped tuberous plaques up to 6 cm in size with excoriated surface, covered with erosions and ulcerations, serohemorrhagic crusts, scaled desquamation. Foci of lichenification, depigmentation and cicatricial-atrophic changes in the skin were also determined. On the basis of clinical data and histological study, cutaneous nodular-plaque amyloidosis was diagnosed. Laboratory and instrumental research and consultations of related specialists (neurologist, therapist) allowed to exclude the systematic process. Describing this case, we would like to draw attention to a unique dermatosis, the only variant of cutaneous amyloidosis with potentially systemic lesion that requires special monitoring and control.

Heat Stroke is a kind of medical emergency that can cause severe dehydration and neurological changes as a result multi-organ injuries or failure could be possible. Heat strokes occur when the body temperature exceeds 40 0C due to external heat and humidity. The liver is widely affected by heatstroke that’s why taking care of patients suffering from heatstroke is very important. Various studies have been reported in the literature regarding acute liver failure but none of the studies discussed acute liver failure during the hospital stay. Patients during their hospital stay will have a higher risk of mortality due to heatstroke. In this paper, an analytical study has been done on admitted patients to a government hospital in India. These patients are suffered from heatstroke from April 2007 to September 2011 and a second time period from July 2018 to September 2019. The sample includes 60 patients with 58 (97%) males having a totaled number of 12 fatalities. The observed International Normalized ratio (INR) parameter is greater than 1.6 and no increased mortality has been noticed, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, were not associated with an increased mortality rate.
