Approaches to Muslim Biomedical Ethics: A Classification and Critique.

This paper provides a perspective on where contemporary Muslim responses to biomedical-ethical issues stand to date. There are several ways in which Muslim responses to biomedical ethics can and have been studied in academia. The responses are commonly divided along denominational lines or under the schools of jurisprudence.

Is Circumcision "Necessary" in Islam? A Philosophical Argument Based on Peer Disagreement.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence in debates on the ethics of child genital cutting practices, both female and male, including within a Muslim context. Opponents of female genital cutting sometimes assert that the practice is not mentioned explicitly in the Qur'an as a way of implying that it does not have any religious standing within Islam. However, neither is male genital cutting mentioned explicitly in the Qur'an, and yet most people accept that it is a Muslim religious practice.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) face-mask ventilation is an easy and cheap option to manage a massive influx of patients presenting acute respiratory failure during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, intensive care units (ICU) can be overwhelmed by the number of hypoxemic patients.

Material And Methods: This single centre retrospective observational cohort study took place in a French hospital where the number of patients exceeded the ICU capacity despite an increase from 18 to 32 beds. Because of this, 59 (37%) of the 159 patients requiring ICU care were referred to other hospitals.

Preparation and characterization of PAN nanofibers containing boehmite nanoparticles for the removal of microbial contaminants and cadmium ions from water.

Nanofibers of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/boehmite were prepared by electrospinning a homogeneous solution of PAN/DMF (dimethyl formamide). Enhancing the amount of boehmite nanoparticles (NPs) led to increase in the nanofibers' diameter. Samples had high pure water flux, which did not change significantly with boehmite concentration, but decreased with increasing electrospinning duration.

A cystine-based dual chemosensor for fluorescent-colorimetric detection of CN and fluorescent detection of Fe in aqueous media: Synthesis, spectroscopic, and DFT studies.

A new dual-responsive chiral cystine based chemosensor, Cys(cou), has been designed and characterized by H NMR, C NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis as well as elemental analysis. This sensor exhibited an excellent response towards Fe and CN with high selectivity and sensitivity by fluorescence turn-off mechanism. The binding mode of Cys(cou) with Fe, and CN was confirmed by ESI-MS, H NMR, and fluorescence titration and also quantum chemical calculation.
