A radiology report serves as an intermediary between a radiologist and referring clinician for suggesting appropriate treatment to the patients, aimed at better healthcare management. It is essentially a tool that assists radiologists in conveying their input to the patients and clinicians regarding positive or negative findings on a case. The objective of this paper is to discuss and propose Radiology Information & Reporting System (RIRS), highlight challenges governing its implementation and suggest way forwards towards its effective implementation across the public sector tertiary care institutions of Pakistan. In the end, it is concluded that the proposed RIRS would potentially offer enormous benefits in terms of cost savings, reporting accuracy, faster processing and operational efficiency as opposed to the conventionally available manual radiology reporting procedures and systems.

Advanced age, having comorbidities, and vitamin D deficiency are three most important reasons for increased vulnerability to COVID-19 and also worsen complications and increase the risk of death. Despite the vast amount of information available and lessons learned, many countries are still not fully utilizing these to manage secondary peaks of COVID-19 infection. Factors associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis include, older age, ethnicity, male sex, having comorbidities, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking; all these are associate with vitamin D deficiency. COVID-19 symptomatology varies from mostly asymptomatic, to, up to 2% fatality. The latter is characterized by cytokine storm, an immune reaction, diffuse arterial thromboembolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary oedema, and death. Vitamin D deficiency positively corelates with disease severity, complications, and deaths. Considering the wider beneficial effects from maintaining vitamin D adequacy, prophylactic broader supplementation programs should be considered by all administrations on public health point of view. With excellent tolerability and safety, even with high doses of vitamin D, and a highly economical nutrient supplement, this approach should be prioritized.

Myiasis is defined as invasion of the body by the larvae of flies, characterized as cutaneous (subdermal tissue), gastrointestinal, nasopharyngeal, ocular, or urinary, depending on the region invaded [1]. Any infection due to invasion of tissues or cavities of the body by larvae of dipterous insects [2]. The disease occurs predominantly in rural areas and is associated with poor hygienic practices.

Advancements in modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography and other radiological procedures have improved the diagnosis of gynecological conditions to a great extent. However, the establishment of a final diagnosis and the initiation of appropriate treatment requires direct viewing of the uterine cavity as in hysteroscopy. In many cases, the patient can be treated during the initial hysteroscopy.

“Gaming disorder”, the official nomenclature given by the World Health Organization (WHO) to compulsive online or offline gaming, was recently recognized as a mental health condition. It was included in the WHO’s 11th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) released mid-2018 and characterized as “a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behavior (‘digital-gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’), which maybe online (i.e., over the internet) or offline, manifested by: (a) impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination, context); (b) increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and (c) continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.” These manifestations whether continuous, episodic or recurrent, must be present at least in the last 12 months to be significant for diagnosis. If severe symptoms and all diagnostic criteria are present, the length of time may be shorter. The ICD is used by medical practitioners around the world to diagnose conditions and by researchers to categorize conditions [1].

Globally, the issue of alcohol consumption and health issues have attracted the attention of health practitioners, scholars, policy makers and governments across the globe. The consequences of alcohol abuse and its health implications have been recorded in both developed and developing nations. The consequences of alcohol abuse spans across disability, diseases and death in all societies from a public health assessment [1]. This is of a particular concern to Australia, where the National Drug Strategy survey, 2016 revealing that 17% of Australians aged 12 or older consumed alcohol beyond reasonable levels [2], equivalent of taking more than two standard drinks (10g of alcohol) in a day [3]. Nearly 50% of 603 online survey among young adults aged 18-24 met the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) (AUDIT) threshold [4]. A national study into the effects of alcohol on third-party in Australia suggests that about a third of Australian workers have had to endure some sort of negative impact of drinking from co-workers through extra working hours to cover for others, translating into an estimated $453 million cost to the Australian economy [5]. The severity of increasing alcohol consumption among vulnerable cohorts and its associated health consequences are on the rise. There is, however, a lack of studies that lay foundation for cumulative evidence-based cohort studies on a chosen vulnerable group. Thus, this paper is relevant and timely as it attempts to lay the ground for scoping review, systematic and meta-analytic studies focusing on alcohol consumption, young adults, rurality and telehealth.

Cajanus cajan is a tropical woody herb with yellow flowers and is a perennial plant belonging to the family Leguminosae. It is commonly known as Pigeon pea in English, “Fiofio in Igbo”, “Waken turawa” in (Hausa) and “Otili” in Yoruba Nigeria. It has a highly nutritious seed of the tropical Pigeon pea plant Luo et al. [1]. It has been cultivated in ancient Egypt, Africa and Asia. This plant was introduced in America and in other several tropical countries and it is mainly produced in India Mc Cuskey [2]. It is a nutritious non-toxic edible tropical legume with several desirable characteristics, widely used in Indian folk medicine for prevention of various liver disorders Luo et al. [1]. The pigeon pea leaf extracts may be valuable natural antioxidant sources and are potentially applicable in both medicine and healthy food industry Wu et al. [3].

For the record, most welcome news is contained in a recent official statement of the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Public Health and Primary Care of the United Kingdom: it has set an ambition for England to go “smoke-free” by the year 2030. This ambition has been encouraged by epidemiological data showing a progressive decline in the prevalence of adult cigarettes smoking in the country since 2011 (Figure 1).

A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper, in tobacco or banana leaves. Another definition is a cylinder filled with cubeb or tobacco or marijuana. Cigarette could be classified into two categories, combustible cigarette and non-combustible cigarette or electronic cigarette. Combustion or burning is a differentiation. While combustible tobaccos release grayish white smoke, electronic cigarettes (cigarlike) produce vapor or aerosol mist.

Wireless Human Body Sensor Networks (WHBSNs) used in healthcare systems have widely attracted the attention of the research community [1]. We identify two categories of healthcare-oriented systems: vital status monitoring and remote healthcare surveillance. In vital status monitoring applications, sensors supervise their vital parameters in order to specify emergency situations and allow caregivers to respond efficiently. Applications include disaster monitoring, cancer detection, vital sign monitoring in hospitals, cardiovascular disease and epilepsy seizure detection [2,3]. Remote healthcare surveillance concerns not vital care services for which the continuous healthcare professional is not necessary. For example, Wireless Human Body Sensor nodes are deployed in remote places to sense clinically relevant data information for rehabilitation supervision [4], elderly monitoring [5] or to provide support to a person with cognitive disorder.
无线人体传感器网络(Wireless Human Body Sensor Networks, WHBSNs)在医疗保健系统中的应用已经引起了研究界的广泛关注[1]。我们确定了两类面向医疗保健的系统:生命状态监测和远程医疗保健监测。在生命状态监测应用中，传感器监督其生命参数，以便指定紧急情况，并允许护理人员有效响应。应用包括灾害监测、癌症检测、医院生命体征监测、心血管疾病和癫痫发作检测[2,3]。远程医疗保健监控不涉及不需要连续医疗保健专业人员的重要护理服务。例如，无线人体传感器节点部署在偏远地区，感知临床相关数据信息，用于康复监督[4]、老年人监测[5]或为认知障碍患者提供支持。
