<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Takayasu arteritis (TA) alternatively known as pulseless disease and aortic arch syndrome is an inflammatory and stenotic disease of medium and large sized arteries characterized by a strong predilection for the aorta and its major branches. Vessels of arms, kidneys and arteries to the brain are exposed to frequent effects whilst coronary and pulmonary arteries retain less frequent effect. Prevalence of TA is more in Asia among teenagers and young adults females resulting in consistent high blood pressure. M:F=1:9 of thousand patients. Patients present with symptoms of Headache, Malaise, Arthralgias, Fever & Weight loss. Complications are limb ischemia, renal failure, cardiac ischemia or stroke.<br>

<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most frequently encountered entrapment neuropathies. It is prevalent in middle age groups. Conservative management is effective in the majority of population surgery being offered to those who don’t respond to medical therapy.<br>
<strong>Objectives: </strong>To compare the efficacy between endoscopic and open carpal tunnel release procedures for carpal tunnel syndrome patients.<br>
<strong>Design and setting: </strong>Randomized control study in a single neurosurgery department.<br>
<strong>Participants: </strong>Thirty patients aged 35-69 years with clinically diagnosed CTS.<br>
<strong>Main outcome measures: </strong>Primarily – operative duration, bleeding, pain score on day one, the requirement of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), time spent in the hospital, and days took to return to work. Other outcomes included infection, wound status/cosmesis, injury to the median nerve, chronic regional pain syndrome, and patient satisfaction.<br>
<strong>Results: </strong>Fifteen patients were allocated to open surgery, and the other 15 for endoscopic. The average operative duration for open surgery was 9.9 minutes compared to 52 minutes spent on the endoscopic procedure. Cauterization had to be performed 4:1 times in endoscopic compared to open. Pain scores rated 3x higher after open surgery and resulted in increased NSAIDs use. Time spent in the hospital after open surgery was 0.7 hours compared to 2.2 in endoscopic, however, patients were able to return to work an average of 10.6 days earlier after endoscopic surgery.<br>
<strong>Conclusion: </strong>In carpal tunnel syndrome, endoscopic surgery allowed patients to experience less post-operative pain and return to work several days sooner than in open surgery.</p>

<p>Medical Sciences is the branch of science concerned with the study of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Some of the hurdles that women face in medical science which was once unanimously seen as an ‘old white boys club’ are similar cross-culturally but more often are uniquely influenced by cultural and societal norms that vary from country to country. The aim of our study is to elucidate the challenges women face once completing their undergraduate medical education and identify the difficulties that affect them during their specialty and their experiences of discrimination and hurdles when moving up the career ladder. We also wish to find out how their domestic lives influence their careers by asking about the attitudes of their parental and betrothed family. </p>
<p>Frequently cited reasons in western countries by women who are discouraged from pursuing surgery as a career are a lack of female role models and a hostile culture with a lack of work-life flexibility. In addition to this women may not feel comfortable pursuing surgical subspecialty due to the fallacious axiom of the ‘surgical personality’. Whilst there definitely is a surgical personality its characteristics are not gender-specific and may be found in both men and women however having the skills and traits suited to a particular profession may not let one prosper due to social circumstances and external factors. The lack of well-conducted research on such an issue in low and middle-income countries makes this study both exciting and necessary to provide baseline data and give an accurate picture of the issues we face which is the first step to be done if we are to solve them.</p>

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Psychosocial work environments pertain to interpersonal and social interactions and it can influence behavior and development in the workplace.<br>
<strong>Objective:</strong> To test a comprehensive and theory-based psychosocial work environment questionnaire, and analyze associations with mental health in a sample of doctors in a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. <br>
<strong>Methodology:</strong><br>
It was a cross-sectional study, conducted at Shaikh Zayed Hospital (SZH) Lahore, from March 2017 to June 2017. A sample size of 100 working doctors was selected. The technique was non-probability. After informed consent, each doctor was given the NRCWE’s Copenhagen short questionnaire consisting of 39 questions. The analysis of data was entered in SPSS 21. The frequency of obtained data was calculated and demographic variables were elaborated. Independent t-test sampling was applied, and tables and pie chart were drawn.<br>
<strong>Results: </strong>This study included worse working conditions in terms of stress, burnout, work-family conflict, and social support from superiors. High levels of stress and burnout were found. Doctors were almost satisfied with their jobs (scores near to average but less than average). Male doctors were found to be more satisfied with their jobs than female doctors.</p>

<p><strong>Introduction</strong></p>
<p>A 9-month old infant was presented to the OPD on 18<sup>th</sup>-November 2019, with clinical manifestations of fever, vomiting and loose stools since a week.</p>
<p><strong>Clinical Presentation</strong></p>
<p>The fever was described as intermittent fever which used to aggravated during the evening hours and subside during the day time. The patient had non projectile vomiting and loose stools after which he was prescribed Flagyl and Zinc to alleviate the symptoms. The mother also complained of generalized rash over the body after 2 days of the onset of fever which resembled an allergic reaction. However, the rash subsided after 2 days. The child was then prescribed with Oral Zinc and IV fluids after which the intensity of fever, frequency of vomiting and loose stools improved. Whereas, the blood samples were sent on regular basis.</p>
<p>On examination, the patient seemed to be lethargic, weak and irritable. On CNS examination, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 15/15, motor and sensory examination were unremarkable. On CVS examination, pulses were found to be weak, peripheries were cold and the patient had increased heart beats per minute, of around 150/bpm. S1 and S2 sounds were audible and Capillary Refill Time (CRT) was 2-3 seconds. On Respiratory examination, respiratory rate was 55 breaths per minute (bpm), vesicular breathing, with no additional sounds. The temperature was 99 degree Fahrenheit, with no signs of pallor, jaundice or cyanosis. However, CVS and Respiratory exam gave a clue of the patient being in compensatory shock.</p>
<p><strong>Investigations</strong></p>
<p>Lab investigations for Salmonella and Cholera reported no traces, Urine D/R was normal. A complete blood picture reported normal except for platelets, a decreased number of platelets (around 54 x10<sup>9</sup>) were reported. Our final diagnosis was Dengue fever, until it was confirmed by the Dengue NS-1 antigen test.</p>
<p><strong>Dengue</strong></p>
<p>Dengue fever is the most common vector borne diseases and is major health problem in the tropical and subtropical areas around the world.<a href="#_edn1">[i]</a> Dengue fever also known as the “Break-bone fever” is an illness caused by an infection by a virus (Flavi virus) transmitted by the mosquito Aedes Aegypti or rarely Aedes Albopictus. Flaviridae is a family of viruses. Humans and other mammals serve as host natural hosts. They are primarily spread through arthropod vectors.</p>
<p>The incubation period of dengue fever is about 3-14 days, it can result on infection with any of the four types of its stereotypes of Dengue Virus (DENV 1-4).<a href="#_edn2">[ii]</a> Dengue illness is classified into Dengue fever, which is a febrile illness or to Dengue hemorrhagic fever/ Dengue shock syndrome.<a href="#_edn3">[iii]</a> Dengue fever presents with complains of headaches, high grade fever, eye pain, vomiting, muscle/joints pain, positive tourniquet test and settles within 2 weeks of onset. Dengue hemorrhagic fever presents with similar symptoms of dengue in addition with spontaneous bleeding and small number of patients need hospital care. Whereas, in Dengue Shock Syndrome presentations are similar to dengue fever, characteristically rapid pulse, clammy cold skin, decreased blood pressure and a very small number of patient need ICU care.</p>
<p><strong>Life Cycle and Transmission</strong></p>
<p>The female mosquito lays around 100-120 eggs in the containers (above the water level), as many as 5 times during its lifetime. The eggs survive for up to 6 months and submerged in water, they hatch within 24 hours to become larva. After 6 days, they grow into Pupa (transformation stage between immature and mature stage) and further 2 days, into an adult mosquito.</p>
<p>The mosquito bites the dengue infected person, it then ingests blood with the dengue virus and takes 8-10 days for the virus to incubate. Dengue infected person bites another person and that person gets dengue 4-13 later.</p>
<p><strong>Management</strong></p>
<p>There is no specific treatment for Dengue fever, however, we mostly follow the conservative therapy such as fluid intake to avoid dehydration from vomiting and fever. Acetaminophen can alleviate pain and reduce fever. Blood monitoring and blood transfusion in severe cases to replace the blood loss.<a href="#_edn4">[iv]</a></p>
<p><strong>Prevention</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Using of mosquito nets, spray and repellents</li>
<li>Draining of stagnant water sites</li>
<li>Wearing full sleeved clothes from at dawn and dusk</li>
<li>Fumigation</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong></p>
<p>According to the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel/National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP/NPUAP) a pressure ulcer is a, ‘localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear’. Pressure ulcers result in immense pain and distress for the individuals developing them. They can be seen secondary to spinal cord injuries, as in the case of our patient, due to prolonged periods of immobilization.</p>
<p><strong>Case presentation:</strong></p>
<p>We report a case of a 30-year-old female of Asian descent who presented in Surgery Department with a clinical presentation of bedsores. The patient was bedridden and immobilized for 1 year due to vertebral fracture resulting from a fall, which we believe precipitated the bed sores. As per the EPUAP/NPUAP 1–4 scale, category 2 ulcers or above are categorized as reportable incidents in official guidelines in the National Health Service (NHS) in England. While Category 3 and 4 ulcers (which involve injury deep into the skin, muscle, or bone) are widely termed severe pressure ulcers and have to be reported as serious untoward incidents. Factors precipitating pressure ulcers include old age, people with sensory loss of a particular region, immobilization, sitting or lying down for extended periods of time, history of pressure ulcer, have bowel or urinary incontinence, have poor nutrition or hydration. Primary care includes washing the area generally with mild soap and water. If needed skin injuries can be covered with transparent film for protection, should be cleaned with saline to rinse and remove loose dead tissue. These pressure injuries require a dressing that maintains a moist wound environment. Caution should be taken as to not use hydrogen peroxide or iodine cleanser as they can damage skin. Pressure or deeper injuries generally require debridement of necrotic tissue and coverage with appropriate dressings and possibly treatment of infection. Secondary management include redistributing pressure, minimizing friction and shear (via log rolling, draw sheets or trapeze), relieving pain, treating infection, optimizing nutrition and hydration and lastly for chronic cases, wound debridement.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>The management during admission included Inj IV Ceftrixone 1gm BD, Inj IV Kinz 20mg SOS, Inj IV Toradol 30mg diluted in 10Cc distal water TDS, Inj IV Risek 40mg OD, Surbex Z 1 OD, Cremaffin 30ml once 2 tablespoon and blood transfusion. Wound was managed with normal saline wash and daily dressing (Eusol). Nursing care included postural change every 2 hours. And lastly, due to the extent of the bed sore manifestation, wound debridement was done.</p>

<p>Genus salmonella is composed of biochemically and serologically diverse group of micro-organisms. Besides humans they also infect many animals. Capable of invading extra-intestinal tissue and causing enteric fever, most severe form of which is typhoid fever. Aerobic and facultatively anaerobic.After 24 hrs and incubation at 37Cf orm moderately large, grey-white, moist colonies on nutrient agar. Grows on differential agars like <strong>MacConkey bile-salt lactose agar, Brilliant green </strong><strong>MacConkey</strong><strong> Agar. </strong>Inhibitory to <em>E.coli, </em><em>proteus</em> <em>spp</em> and other commensal enterobacteria. Excellent selective and differential medium for salmonella except Typhi. Low convex pale green translucent colonies. LF and rare strains of Salmonella serotypes produce blue-purple colonies. Antigenic structures are composed of <strong>H – </strong><strong>Flegellar</strong><strong> antigens, </strong><strong>O – Somatic antigen, </strong><strong>Vi – Surface antigen </strong>in some species only<strong>. </strong><strong>Biochemical reactions</strong> : Glucose ,Mannitol ,Maltose produce A/G. Salmonella typhi do not produce gas. Lactose/Salicin/sucrose not fermented. Indole –.Methyl Red +.V P -Citrate +.Urease –.H2S – produced by Salmonella typhi. Paratyphi A do not produce H2S. Determinants of pathogenecity are: Adherence factors, Invasive factors and Factors evading host defense.</p>
<p>Blood culture in case of enteric fever:1st week Positive in 90 %. 2nd week Positive in 75 %. 3rd week Positive in 60 %. > 3 weeks positive in 25 %.Salmonella enterocolitis does not need any antibiotic therapy. In severe diarrhea, fluid and electrolytes replacement is necessary. Antimicrobial therapy of invasive Salmonella infections is with ampicillin, SXT, or third generation cephalosporin and fluroquinolones. </p>

<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Bezoars are rare accumulations of indigestible contents within the gastrointestinal tract. These are commonly found in patients with previous psychiatric illness, learning disabilities, and gastric surgery. Computed tomography (CT) is the non-invasive imaging modality of choice as it can not only diagnose but recognize associated complications as well.<br>
<strong>Case Report:</strong> We present a case of a young 16 years old female who presented with nausea, dull abdominal pain, and distension. She underwent a Contrast-enhanced CT scan and was diagnosed as a case of gastric bezoar with gastric perforation and frank pneumoperitoneum. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and repair of the stomach. Per operative, findings were consistent with trichobezoar. The patient recovered well after surgery.<br>
<strong>Discussion:</strong> Bezoar is an accumulation of partially digested foreign material in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Bezoar can occur in any part of GIT, however, are most common in the stomach. Multiple risk factors are recognized however can occur without the risk factor. Bezoars are classified into several main types. Proper clinical history, examination, and imaging can play an important role in its diagnosis. <br>
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Nonspecific abdominal pain in young female patients with a psychiatric disorder can result from uncommon causes such as bezoars and is important for clinicians and radiologists to be aware of this uncommon entity. </p>

<p>Objective: This study was carried out to find out the prevalence of Jervell and Lange Nielsen Syndrome (JLNS) in deaf school children for impaired hearing and to correlate this with consanguineous marriages. Setup: Schools for deaf and dumb children and Sheikh Zayed Medical College, Rahim Yar Khan. Design: Cross sectional, case control study. Period: 2006 - 2007. Methods: Electrocardiographs (ECG’s) of 114 congenitally deaf school children (ages 4-20 years) and also of 23 healthy children with normal hearing function of same age group were recorded. The corrected QT (QTc) interval of all 137 ECGs was evaluated by Bazett’s formula. Mean QTc of healthy children was taken as reference of normal QTc interval. The deaf children with normal QTc were labeled as control group. Patients with long QTc were further evaluated for JLNS by applying Schwartz’s criteria. We also calculated the relationship of the positive cases to consanguineous marriages. Results: We found that 28 deaf children out of 114 cases had QTc intervals longer than 0.44 seconds. This interval was significantly longer [P=0.008] than the QT interval in control group. As per Schwartz’s criteria, 15 out of 28 LQTs cases scored high points (3.5 to 5.5). The presence of consanguineous marriage was 100% in first pedigree of these 28 children. Conclusions: JLNS (an alarming arrhythmic disease associated with congenital deafness) is significantly present (24.6%) in Rahim Yar Khan’s deaf school children. The presence of cousin marriage was 100% in first pedigree of these children<br>

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Medical students are well known to work long hours, have financial difficulties, and face intense competition to succeed which may predispose them to significant psychological stress. Physical Activity may provide relief to stress in this population.<br>
<strong>Objectives: </strong>To evaluate the effect of physical activity on the reduction of stress in medical students in a developing country.<br>
<strong>Methods: </strong>Between April and May 2015, medical students at a private medical college within Karachi, Pakistan participated in a cross-sectional study to evaluate physical activity and stress levels. Questionnaires were distributed to all medical students by convenience sampling. A three-part questionnaire was developed based on the Perceived Stress Score to evaluate for the presence of stress. Patient demographics, Perceived Stress Score, participation, and the total duration of physical activity per week were obtained. Participants were also instructed to answer questions on other activities that they may be performing intending to relieve stress.<br>
<strong>Results:</strong> A total of 235 participants were identified for further analysis. Based upon the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), 30.3% of the medical students were found to have evidence of the stress with a mean PSS score of 16.95 ± 5.72. Participation in physical activity was found to cause a reduction in stress levels with medical students not reporting exercise is twice as likely to be stressed (OR 0.48, p = 0.015). Besides, the total duration of physical activity per week (>4 vs <2) was seen to be independently related to reduced PSS score (16.2 vs 18.2, p=0.028).<br>
<strong>Conclusion: </strong>Both participation and longer duration of physical activity per week are associated with a significant reduction in stress levels within medical students.</p>

<p>The basic understanding of terminologies used in gynaecology are sometimes overlooked. For fair and clear communication between specialists and other co-workers in the field it is vital to remember these terms.<br>
The presentation includes differences between terms that pertain to menstrual irregularities. Some key ideas about early pregnancy disorders and sexual dysfunction.<br>
Here is a comprehensive and concise compilation of important terms and their definitions used in the field of gynaecology. It would not only serve as a revision for all those who want to refresh their basics but also be a guide for those starting their careers.</p>

<p><strong>Aim:</strong> To describe our experience with Metastatic Carcinoma (CA) breast in posterior fossa.</p>
<p><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> All patients who had history of Carcinoma (CA) breast and had posterior fossa space occupying lesion (SOL) were included in this study. Detailed history, examination and baseline investigations were done and patients were operated on list and are on regular follow up. The duration of study was 2 months and is an ongoing project.</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> Three patients were included in this study. All had previous history of mastectomy for Carcinoma (CA) breast. One had invasive ductal carcinoma, other had ductal carcinoma. Third one didn’t have her previous records with her. All patients presented with SOL in posterior fossa. 1 st and 2nd patient had undifferentiated carcinoma and 3rd patient had metastatic differentiated carcinoma on biopsy of SOL brain. It is interesting to note that 1st and 2nd patients completed their chemotherapy and radio therapy while the 3rd patient didn’t consulted her surgeon after mastectomy for further treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for the long term management of patients with Carcinoma (CA) breast and they should be kept on regular follow-up for the rest of their lives.</p>

<p>Dear Sir,<br>
I have read the editorial by Malik AR et al. in which the authors have highlighted a very important issue regarding the last rituals and handling of the deceased during the COVID19 pandemic.[1] I would like to add that mortality may take place at home. So people should be aware of how to manage dead bodies at home with proper care. I believe that for public safety measures, it is important to avoid congregations, and holding mass funerals should not be allowed. To help reduce the risk, religious leaders should advise people to minimize the number of attendees in the funeral so a safe distance of 3 meters could be maintained. Family and friends should not be allowed to touch the dead body. It has been recommended that the clothes worn by the person preparing the dead body should be washed with bleach to avoid the risk of contracting the infection.[2] The clothes of the deceased should be washed too.<br>
I am inclined to believe that post mortem examination is still the gold standard of determining why and how the death occurred. [3] It not only defines the pathophysiology of death but also sheds light on the important clinical and epidemiological insights. Therefore proper care must be taken by the forensic staff to check the spread of disease.<br>
The world is in an emergency situation and there is no licensed vaccine to date. Keeping in view the present circumstances, the responsibility of preventing the spread of disease lies on every shoulder.</p>

<p>First response at a scene requires a protocol to be followed. The two fundamentals of this SRCAB protocol are the airway maneuver and rescue breaths. </p>
<p>The following presentation not only entails the procedure to be followed by the first responder regarding airway and breathing but also shows why they are important in saving a life.</p>
<p>After the presentation, the viewer will be confident enough to perform these procedures and make a huge impact in rescuing the casualty.</p>

<p>Dear sir, I have read with interest the article by Iqbal MR.[1] I would like to highlight the fact that immunity to coronavirus is still a mystery to some extent. The potpourri of antibodies, cells, and other markers responsible for providing protection is still unknown. We seem to be on a trajectory towards herd immunity despite no official acknowledgment that this is the country’s default approach to combat this pandemic.[2] Moreover, the government remains a divided house on this matter too. As a result, COVID 19 has started behaving a lot like the once in a century pathogen.[3] This virus is basically a test of how well states are run. Well, I think that diplomatic efforts to drive international collaboration is the need of the hour. This pandemic is a threat but also a wake-up call. Our future undoubtedly depends on how all of us respond to this pandemic. Thank you.</p>
