Introduction: On July 10, 2024, a brutal and complex homicide case came to light in Korba District, Chhattisgarh, when dismembered human body parts were discovered in bags and sacks near a dam. The absence of an identifiable torso and the decomposed condition of the remains posed significant forensic and investigative challenges. Methodology: A multidisciplinary team comprising the District Scene of Crime Mobile Unit, Korba Police, and Cyber Cell undertook a scientific site inspection. Visual examination of the scene, systematic underwater searches with local divers, and meticulous documentation of body part distribution were performed. Forensic profiling, including analysis of clothing, cutting patterns, and associated evidence (passport, Aadhaar card, gold chain receipt, and airline tickets), was conducted. Cyber forensic tools were employed to trace the victim’s communication and location history, and CCTV footage was reviewed to identify the suspects and reconstruct the sequence of events. Results: A total of 33 dismembered body parts were recovered, showing signs of cuts made using both a heavy sharp-edged weapon and a saw. Through identification documents found in the victim’s clothing and corroboration via family and cyber evidence, the deceased was identified as a Muslim youth who had returned from abroad days prior. Further investigation revealed a motive rooted in deception and betrayal involving a love affair, ultimately leading to the arrest of the perpetrators who attempted to conceal the crime by dismembering and disposing of the body. Conclusion: The case underscores the critical role of interdisciplinary forensic methods in solving blind murder cases, especially when traditional identification methods are hindered.

Background: Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common convulsive events in early childhood, affecting 2–5 % of children between 6 and 60 months, with up to one-third experiencing recurrence. Although generally benign, recurrent FS cause significant caregiver anxiety and prompt consideration of pharmacological prophylaxis in high-risk cases. Over the last two decades, newer benzodiazepines, second-generation antiseizure medications, and neurohormonal agents have been investigated as alternatives to traditional regimens. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies published from 1 January 2000 to 30 June 2025 evaluating pharmacological strategies to prevent recurrent FS in children. Eligible designs included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and systematic reviews reporting recurrence outcomes. Two independent reviewers screened, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using Cochrane RoB 2 and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Results: Seven studies (n = 577; 3 RCTs, 2 open-label RCTs, 2 cohorts) met inclusion criteria. Intermittent benzodiazepines significantly reduced FS recurrence compared to no prophylaxis. Across three trials, clobazam demonstrated superior efficacy and comparable tolerability to diazepam. Pilot and comparative studies of intermittent levetiracetam (LEV) reported recurrence rates <10 % with fewer behavioral adverse effects relative to clobazam. A single blinded RCT found melatonin non-inferior to diazepam while markedly reducing sedation. No post-2000 evidence supported continuous phenobarbital or valproate prophylaxis. Conclusions: Intermittent clobazam remains the best-supported agent for recurrent FS prevention, while LEV and melatonin are promising, safer alternatives requiring validation in large, multicenter, blinded RCTs. Current evidence supports a selective, individualized approach focused on high-risk children, with caregiver education and rescue strategies as the foundation of management.

Advancing patient-centered diabetes care through interprofessional collaboration is increasingly recognized as a vital approach to improving outcomes for individuals living with this chronic condition. This model emphasizes a holistic, tailored strategy that integrates the expertise of diverse healthcare professionals—such as physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and social workers—to address the multifaceted needs of patients. By fostering effective communication and coordinated care, interprofessional teams can better manage glucose control, prevent complications, and enhance patients’ quality of life. This collaborative framework also empowers patients by actively involving them in decision-making processes, tailoring treatment plans to their preferences, lifestyle, and social determinants of health, which ultimately promotes adherence and self-management, Moreover, interprofessional collaboration in diabetes care facilitates comprehensive education and support that extend beyond medical treatment. Team members work together to identify barriers, such as psychological stress or socioeconomic challenges, that might impede a patient’s progress and address these issues through shared resources and community connections. This integrated approach not only improves clinical outcomes but also enhances patient satisfaction and engagement by creating a supportive care environment rooted in respect, empathy, and mutual understanding. As healthcare moves towards value-based models, strengthening interprofessional collaboration is key to delivering cost-effective, personalized diabetes care that aligns with the evolving needs and goals of patients.

https://doi.org/10.36348/sijog.2025.v08i08.001
Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication linked to higher perinatal risks for mother and baby. Elevated serum uric acid levels can contribute to insulin resistance by inhibiting the insulin-mediated release of endothelial nitric oxide and directly impacting the adipocytes. During the first trimester, serum uric acid levels are similar to pre-conception levels, so increased levels may signal a higher GDM risk. Objective: Our study was conducted to analyse the relationship between first-trimester serum uric acid levels and the development of GDM. Additionally, we sought to evaluate the potential of elevated serum uric acid as an early predictor of GDM. Methods: This prospective observational study recruited eligible antenatal women with live singleton pregnancies and a gestational age of less than 15 weeks who attended the outpatient clinic using convenience sampling. Pregnant women with a gestational age above 15 weeks, overt diabetes mellitus, those taking steroids in any form, or consuming drugs known to increase serum uric acid levels, as well as women with gout, other endocrine disorders, chronic renal disease, liver disease, cardiovascular disorders, or who smoked, were excluded. Blood tests were conducted, and serum uric acid levels exceeding 3.5 mg/dL were regarded as elevated. The study participants underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation. GDM was diagnosed according to the criteria of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI). A statistical analysis was performed, including measures of diagnostic performance. Results: One hundred and eight antenatal women participated in the study, with a mean age of 23.6 (± 4.08) years. Most women (46.3%) were aged 21 to 25, and the majority (56.5%) were primigravida. The prevalence of GDM in this group was 19.4% (21/108). A univariate analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid levels and various factors. Women with first-trimester serum uric acid levels exceeding 3.5 mg/dL demonstrated a significant (p < 0.001) correlation with abnormal OGTT results. The diagnostic performance tests for elevated first-trimester serum uric acid levels in predicting GDM revealed a sensitivity of 90.5% and a negative predictive value of 97.1%. Conclusion: We concluded that elevated serum uric acid in the first trimester is linked to a higher risk of developing GDM and may serve as a screening tool for early identification.

https://doi.org/10.36348/sjm.2025.v10i08.001
Background/aim: The PMS2 gene was evaluated for its role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer by analyzing its expression in blood samples obtained from healthy postmenopausal women, newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, and the same patients following surgical and therapeutic treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 47 blood samples were analyzed, including 7 from healthy controls, 20 from newly diagnosed breast cancer patients (disease group), and 20 from the same patients’ post- treatment (cure group, 4 months’ post-surgery or therapy). RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and RT-PCR analysis were performed on blood samples to determine the expression levels of the PMS2 gene across groups, providing insight into the genetic changes associated with breast cancer progression and the impact of clinical interventions. SPSS was used for statistical analysis, including correlation and paired-sample t-tests. Results: PMS2 expression exhibited a highly significant difference between group 1 (healthy control), which showed no expression, and group 2 (disease group), which demonstrated upregulation of the PMS2 gene (P < 0.001, paired sample t-test) with a 99% confidence interval. A downregulation of gene expression was observed in group 3 (cure group) after treatment, and the comparison between the disease and cure groups revealed a statistically significant difference (P = 0.042, paired t-test) with a 95% confidence interval. The majority of patients aged 50–60 were diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. This systematic regulation of PMS2 expression highlights its role in disease development, progression, and therapeutic response. Conclusion: The data confirmed the involvement of the PMS2 gene in breast cancer aggressiveness and progression.
This article identifies the critical legal and sociolegal issues of marital rape in Islamic countries, and calls for immediate reform. Despite recent achievements in promoting women's rights and facilitating access to justice, marital rape remains legally and socially undefined in many Islamic countries. This article employs a comprehensive comparative analysis of statutory law, case laws, and judgements in Islamic countries such as Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia, comparing this to developed Western jurisdictions, including the UK, the US, and Australia. The analysis draws upon statutory law, landmark cases, and scholarly literature to identify the significant gaps produced by traditional interpretations of marital acquiescence. These results highlight the need for substantial legislative reforms, and encourage policymakers and human rights to advocate the adoption of progressive and consent-based approaches in line with universal human rights principles. More importantly, this study provides practical recommendations for bringing about real policy changes and for enhancing the protection of women's rights and dignity in marriages in Islamic-majority countries.

Schmidt's syndrome combines several autoimmune diseases, including Addison's disease, thyroiditis and peripheral gonadal insufficiency. A 21-year-old female presented 15 days prior to admission with a digestive complaint of nausea, vomiting, generalised asthenia and epigastric pain, all evolving in a context of weight loss. Clinical examination revealed an altered patient, hypotensive to 80/60 mmHg, normocardial to 70 bpm. Paraclinical examinations revealed acute renal failure, hyperkalaemia (8 mmol/l) and hyponatraemia (124 mmol/l). Given the hyperkalaemia without electrical signs on ECG, the patient was treated with Kayxalate and calcium gluconate and hydration with saline and sodium; the blood ionogram improved. In the face of chronic constipation, a TSH was performed, returning to 11 uui/ml with antiTPO antibodies at 1000. An ultrasound scan revealed thyroiditis, and the patient was put on levothyrox 50ug/d. The patient continued to suffer from profound asthenia and also reported secondary amenorrhoea for 4 months with negative BHCG and a hypophysiogram showing hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in favour of primary ovarian failure. On re-examining the patient, our attention was drawn to the presence of hyperpigmentation of the skin and slate- coloured patches, slate-coloured patches in the oral mucosa. The diagnosis of Addison's disease was suspected. A cortisol assay was ordered, which came back collapsed at 0.01μg/dl with ACTH elevated to 199pg/ml with anti-21-hydroxylase antibodies at 5.0U/ml (VN<0.4) confirming the diagnosis. The patient was started on intravenous hydration and hydrocortisone, with marked improvement in clinical and paraclinical parameters and restoration of menstrual cycles, followed by oral hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone. As part of the etiological diagnosis, an adrenal CT scan revealed adrenal atrophy (absence of visible adrenal parenchyma). Other autoimmune disorders in the context of polyendocrinopathy were ruled out in our patient. Adrenal insufficiency is most often caused by an autoimmune disease. Autoantibodies to steroidogenic enzymes in the adrenal cortex are present in 86% of patients with primary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency, the most common antibody being anti-21- hydroxylase.
Cancer is still one of the top causes of deaths in the world, taking almost 10 million human lives in 2020. While great strides are being made in the management of this disease, traditional tumour treatments still grapple with immense systemic toxicity, drug resistance, and the failure of drugs to precisely target complex tumour environments. Nanotechnology may overcome these issues, and a nanostructure robot for targeting drug delivery nanobots is increasingly considered one of the groundbreaking approaches in oncology. The present review covers the development, mechanisms, and applications of nanobots in cancer therapy, focusing on their potential to improve treatment efficacy with reduced adverse effects. Smart, stimuli-responsive nanobots can release their content based on tumour-specific factors like pH or temperature, enhancing therapy precision. Applications range from immunotherapy and gene therapy to overcoming obstacles in the form of the blood-brain barrier, demonstrating the versatility of nanobots in the treatment of aggressive cancers. More recently, AI and organ-on-a-chip models are combined to further perfect the design of nanobots and forecast the results of therapeutics, moving toward personalized treatments of cancer. Challenges are yet incomplete: biocompatibility, immunogenicity, and scalability remain relevant, besides regulatory and ethical concerns. Overcoming such limitations requires both interdisciplinary collaboration and technical development. The present review underlines the transformative potential of nanobots in the field of drug targeting and cancer therapy, a position whereby nanobots are a cornerstone of next-generation precision medicine. Nanobots overcome current limitations, hence promising safer, more effective, and personalized solutions for cancer treatment.

All of forms life needs water to survive. Therefore provision of clean water for consumers either for drinking or for irrigation purpose is necessary. But nowadays the quality of water is deteriorating day by day due to exposure of several contaminants like domestic and industrial solid waste and effluents, different microbial pathogens and toxic chemicals which frequently cause waterborne pathogenesis and diseases in Pakistan. In current study, the water samples from tehsils of district Kasur were collected which is considered as an industrial hub and center of agriculture and much populated too. That is why; different physiochemical and microbial parameters of water samples of tap, filter plants, tube well and canals of Kasur region were examined. In these parameters the pH, turbidity, hardness, acidity of water, alkalinity of water, total dissolved solids, microbial contamination, level of bioaccumulation and many other factors were observed. A hospital based survey was also performed to gather information about the waterborne diseases. The obtained results showed that the values of some parameters were within permissible limit whereas some of them were not according to the WHO standard. It was concluded that the water of district Kasur is not good for drinking and irrigation purposes. In this regard a proper guideline should be provided to the general public by government and private sector concerned departments to improve public health of selected region.

https://doi.org/10.36348/sijlcj.2025.v08i07.004
This study aims to analyze the implementation of restorative justice-based prosecution terminations as an effort to strengthen the role of the Prosecutor's Office in Indonesia. To date, the Prosecutor's Office has been more dominant in carrying out conventional prosecution functions oriented towards retaliation. However, with the growing paradigm of restorative justice, an approach focused on restoring relationships, compensation, and reconciliation between perpetrators, victims, and the community has become relevant. This study uses normative legal research methods with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results show that restorative justice-based prosecution terminations, as stipulated in various Prosecutor's Office regulations, offer significant potential to reduce case backlogs, provide substantive justice for victims, and encourage more constructive accountability of perpetrators. The Prosecutor's Office's role in this process is no longer merely to prosecute, but also to facilitate dialogue, mediation, and ensure the achievement of restorative agreements. Effective implementation of this policy is expected to strengthen the Prosecutor's Office's image as a humanistic law enforcement agency responsive to the needs of the community, while supporting the creation of a more just and dignified criminal justice system in Indonesia.

The research investigates ways to improve farming incomes within sustainable development in agriculture, moving from a focus on production to a focus on income when thinking about agricultural policy. The way in which farm income is treated in the study is as one combined measurement, including returns from crops, livestock, allied activities, and non-cash components (e.g. family labour and self-consumed). The study used descriptive and analytical methods with secondary data from government reports, international organisations, and academic literature to assess the components of farm income, measuring methods, cost structures, and indicators. The study identified an array of significant constraints to farm income including the rising costs of production; inefficient markets; lack of access to credit; climate risk; and inadequately measured farm income. The results of the study demonstrated that enhancing farm income requires a multi-faceted approach that includes: diversification; cost savings; value adding; improved marketing systems; irrigation development; adoption of technology; crop insurance; financial inclusion; and extension services. The study also illustrates the importance of accurate measurement of farm incomes and the strategic enhancement of farm incomes through integrated policy interventions and institutional support as critical to creating profitable, resilient, and sustainable agricultural production and for achieving inclusive rural development and sustainable agriculture over the long-term.
