Incidence of Nephropathy After Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis at Muhammad Teaching Hospital, Peshawar: A Single Institution Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
No full textObjective: To determine the incidence of nephropathy after spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients with
decompensated liver cirrhosis.
Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Medicine, Muhammad Teaching
Hospital (MTH), Peshawar, Pakistan from November 1st, 2024, to April 30th 2025.
Methods: A total of one hundred and ten (110) patients were part of the current study. This sample size was
obtained by using the WHO sample size calculator, for which a reference study was considered having a
frequency of renal impairment in about 83.3% of patients who had developed decompensated liver cirrhosis
followed by spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Consecutive, non-probability sampling technique was used. The
confidence interval was equal to 95% while error margin was equal to 6% to calculate the size.
Results: Participants of the study were adults, and the minimum age was 18, whereas the oldest was 60 years,
with a mean of 46.436 ± 6.81 years. As chronic liver disease patients were selected, they had a prolonged
history of decompensated cirrhosis of the liver (mean duration was 8.845 ± 2.38 months). Gender classification
of 110 participants was done, in which males were 91 (82.7%) and females were 19 (17.3%). Nephropathy
(Renal impairment) was observed in 33 (30%) of patients after spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in
decompensated liver cirrhosis.
Conclusion: In this study, the results showed that overall, there was 30% renal impairment in the observed
cases. They were more prominent in Child's Pugh C cirrhosis liver compared to Class A or B cirrhosis liver
because of the development of ascites.

Frequency of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Using Spot Urine ACR and Its Associated Risk Factors
No full textObjective: To determine the frequency of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients using spot urine ACR
ratio and identify its associated risk factors.
Study Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: This research was carried out at the Department of Medicine, Muhammad
Teaching Hospital (MTH) Peshawar, Pakistan from February 01, 2023, to July 31, 2023.
Methods: A total of 150 patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus were investigated. The sample size was
calculated with a WHO sample size calculator using a reference study with a 10.8% prevalence of diabetic
nephropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus; confidence interval = 95% and the margin of error was 5%.
Results: With an SD ± 5.146, the mean age was 49 years old. There were 87 (58%) females and 63 (42%) males
present. Out of 150 individuals, the spot urine ACR was analyzed. Of these, 47 (31%) had microalbuminuria (less
than 300 mg/m) while, 28 patients (19%) had macroalbuminuria (more than 300 mg/m), whereas end-stage
renal disease was found in 6 (4%) with GFR < 30 ml/m -1.73 m2. A study was conducted on 150 individuals to
determine the status of diabetic nephropathy. Of these, 81 (54%) had diabetic nephropathy and 69 (46%) did
not.
Conclusion: Using the spot urine ACR ratio, our study suggests that 46% of type-2 diabetic patients had diabetic
nephropathy. The incidence was 24% in people with diabetes for 5–10 years and 26% in patients with diabetes
for 11–15 years. Patients with diabetes for 16 to 20 years had a 50% incidence. In conclusion, those with
diabetes for a longer period are at a much greater risk of diabetic nephropathy.

Revealing the quasiparticle electronic and excitonic nature in cubic, tetragonal, and hexagonal phases of FAPbI3
No full textThe development of three-dimensional (3D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites has sparked much interest because of their rich light-harvesting capabilities in solar cells. However, the understanding of the electronic and optical properties, particularly the excitonic shifts upon structural phase transition with temperature in these materials, is not fully clear. Here, we report the accurate description of electronic and optical properties of mostly studied FAPbI(3) across the cubic-tetragonal-hexagonal phases, using the relativistic GW method and Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE), including the spin-orbit coupling effects. Our GW calculations reveal that the bandgap values vary from 1.47 to 3.54 eV from the room temperature cubic phase to the low temperature hexagonal phase. Our optical analysis shows that excitonic peaks are blue-shifted, and exciton binding energies estimated by the model BSE approach increase from 74 to 567 meV going from the cubic to hexagonal phases. Our results may have important impacts on the practical uptake of hybrid perovskite based solar cells under different climatic conditions. (c) 2022 Author(s).
