Abstract

Objective: To compare and correlate the value of the Haller index calculated with chest x-ray with the values calculated with a Computed Tomography (CT) scan. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Radiology, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Jan to Jun 2018. Methodology: A total of 50 male patients aged ≥16 years presenting with pectus excavatum were included. Haller index was calculated after CT scan and X-ray. Results: The mean age of the patients was 20.20±2.34 years. The mean Haller Index for CT scan was 2.35±0.39, and the mean Haller Index for X-ray was 2.01±0.45. A strong and positive correlation existed between the Haller index for CT scans and X-rays (r=0.83). Conclusion: X-rays can be used instead of CT scans to measure the Haller index and plan the surgical intervention with similar accuracy.

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to examine how the broader characteristics of Pakistan’s public policies reflect Islamic law, how the financial crime rate has been affected by policy rules, and if the policies do indeed reflect Islamic law, how do they help the process? Methodology/approach It is a qualitative exploratory study where structured interviews have been conducted with experts and practitioners in Islamic Ideological Council and Parliament. Findings The findings constitute a threadbare discussion of financial crimes which policy takes into account under Islamic law; along with the relevant ramifications and recommendations. Research implications It is suggested that the laws of Pakistan be studied taking Shariah density into consideration. Future research can focus on implementation of laws and policies as a factor improving governance. Originality/value This study is pertinent because financial crimes in light of Islamic law and public policy are not discussed in detail in previous research.
