BACKGROUND: One of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is heart failure. The study aims to assess the effect of heart rate on the incidence of rehospitalization in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. METHODS: It is a cross-sectional, analytical research conducted over six months, from June to December 2022, at the cardiology department of a tertiary care hospital. Patients who satisfied the modified Framingham heart failure criteria at admission and were discharged with an initial diagnosis of heart failure and those readmitted within 6 months or less of their discharge were included in the study...

BACKGROUND: Brain metastases are a common complication of cancer and approximately 20% of cancer patients develop them over time. Presently palliative whole-brain radiotherapy is used as a palliative treatment for brain metastases because of its cost-effectiveness and easy availability, especially in patients with multiple metastases who are not candidates for surgery or Stereotactic radiosurgery. This study aims to determine the survival in patients who have received palliative whole-brain radiotherapy for brain metastases and to evaluate some of the prognostic factors determining survival in patients with brain metastases...

BACKGROUND: Vesiculobullous disorders are among the leading causes of admission to dermatology. These are characterized by distinct mucocutaneous involvement and by the development of vesicles and bullae (i.e. blisters). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a group of gram-positive bacteria distinct from other strains of Staph aureus. As the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics varies from region to region and from time to time, this study will determine the pattern of antimicrobial susceptibility of MRSA isolates to the commonly prescribed antibiotics in our population...

BACKGROUND: Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is associated with reduced blood loss and transfusions, fewer infections, and fewer thromboembolic events as compared to caesarean delivery. The current rate of repeat caesarean after one previous caesarean is above the WHO standard of 15%. We aimed to determine the occurrence of VBAC and to determine the occurrence of feto-maternal outcomes in successful VBAC cases so that trials of VBAC can be given to carefully selected patients to reduce the rate of repeat caesarean section...

BACKGROUND: Hypoalbuminemia commonly occurs in cardiac patients, especially in elderly patients and those with chronic congestive heart failure, and it has been associated with adverse events such as atrial fibrillation. The study aimed to determine the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CABG) with pre-operative hypoalbuminemia in a major cardiac surgery institute in Karachi, Pakistan. METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study included patients of any gender, aged between 30-80 years, who underwent CABG surgery and had hypoalbuminemia at the time of pre-operative assessment...

BACKGROUND: Accreditation bodies of medical education globally value competency in research that facilitates evidence-based practice of medicine. Physician-scientists need awareness of qualitative research methods for in-depth exploration of sociocultural, gender, behavioural, emotional, and religious factors affecting health that cannot be gauged by quantitative research methods. The introduction of qualitative research at the undergraduate level can enhance understanding of local populations' unique health needs and strengthen evidence-based practice...

BACKGROUND: Causes of vocal cord palsy (VCP) can be identified even before its clinical presentation if a radiologist has knowledge about signs of vocal cord palsy, its various mimics and the anatomy of recurrent laryngeal nerve. Objectives are to know the signs and underlying causes leading to VCP and various mimics which may lead to the false positive diagnosis of VCP.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects a substantial proportion of the global population, particularly older individuals, affecting around 200 million people worldwide highlighting its significant impact on human health. Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most severe clinical presentation of PAD characterized by ischemic rest pain tissue ulceration or gangrene. The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of infra popliteal angioplasty (in terms of wound healing and limb salvage) in patients with below-the-knee total chronic occlusion (TCO)...

BACKGROUND: Spinal anaesthesia has its unique place in modern anaesthetic practice. In past, most of the surgeries, irrespective of the site of surgery, were performed in general anaesthesia but now in the modern anaesthetic field, spinal anaesthesia has markedly replaced general anaesthesia, specifically in obstetrics, lower limbs, and abdominal surgeries. METHODS: A total of 100 patients fit to undergo lower limb surgery between the ages of 20 to 70 years were included in the study...

BACKGROUND: EDTA-dependent pseudo thrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP) refers to a falsely low platelet count occurring in the presence of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant during blood sample collection, which results in the formation of platelet clumps in vitro. This phenomenon has significant clinical implications, including unnecessary administration of platelets. Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of sodium citrate anticoagulant for the resolution of EDTAPTCP. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted in the haematology laboratory of Shifa International Hospital (SIH), Pakistan...

BACKGROUND: Anaemia in patients with HIV infection is commonly multifactorial in origin. Nutritional deficiencies and the presence of opportunistic infections as well as HIV infection itself can cause anaemia. HIV medications like zidovudine can also cause anaemia in patients with HIV infection. This study aimed to study the prevalence and risk factors of anaemia in patients with HIV infection on a zidovudine-based HAART regimen. METHODS: This hospital-based prospective cohort study was done at the ART (anti-retroviral therapy) centre...

BACKGROUND: Benefits of Curcumin for health have been explained by different experimental models and clinical trials. It is a very potent antioxidant. Curcumin was found to play a preventive and curative role in both acute and chronic gastritis. Deltamethrin is a useful pesticide when applied with caution to crops. However, it also has noxious effects on gastric mucosa once ingested with sprayed crops. Its maximum permissible limit, MRL (Maximum Residual Level) as pesticide food residues is 5 mg/kg body weight as defined by WHO...

BACKGROUND: Shivering is one of the most common adverse outcomes associated with the administration of spinal anaesthesia, which, when clinically relevant, leads to numerous detrimental effects on the human body. Hence, its management becomes imperative. Meperidine, an opioid analgesic, is the drug of choice for this condition. However, the use of meperidine is controversial, as it carries the devastating adverse effect of respiratory depression. We explored the role of granisetron, a 5HT3 antagonist and a commonly used antiemetic premedication, in minimising the incidence of post-spinal shivering and decreasing the use of meperidine as a rescue drug...

BACKGROUND: Recently various combinations of direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have been tried successfully. The Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir combination has been used with promising results. Recently, resistance has been noticed against DAAs. Therefore, polymorphism at particular sites in the interleukin 28B gene are under study to find possible association with resistance. This study was aimed at finding out any association of SNPs rs8099917 and rs12979860 (IL28B gene) with response and resistance to treatment in HCV genotype 3 patients in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa...
