Pre-treatment casts were taken of 140 subjects. The mesiodistal dimension of each tooth was recorded through the vernier caliper. Frequency and percentage were calculated for the presence of microdontia. The test applied was Pearson’s Chi-square test to assess the relationship between microdontia and variables like age and gender. P-value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Data analysis was performed on SPSS version 22.\u0000Results: A total of 140 subjects were selected i.e. 105 (75%) females and 35 (25%) males aged range 13 -30 years with mean age 18.29 ± 3.88. Out of 42, single tooth microdontia was found in 3 (7.1%), more than one tooth microdontia, and generalized microdontia was present in 36 (85.7%) and 3 (7.1%) respectively. Microdontia was found to be more common in the maxilla (n=42, 100%) than the mandible (n=14, 33.3%). It was found more common in females (n=37, 35.2%) as compared to males (n=5, 14.3%). Statistically significant relationship was found among gender and prevalence of microdontia (p=0.019) with a statistically insignificant relationship between age and presence of microdontia (p=0.228).\u0000Conclusions: Microdontia was found to be a frequent dental anomaly, was more common in maxilla and females with a significant association with gender.","PeriodicalId":140679,"journal":{"name":"Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133183224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Institutional Review Board approval was taken from Jinnah Sindh Medical University. At KU, permission was taken from concerned authorities for data collection, sample comprised of 386 students. Students were selected on convenience and availability from various departments of Arts, Business, Social Sciences, Islamic Studies and Pharmacy. Written consent was obtained from the students. Data was analyzed on SPSS 20.\u0000Results: Out of 386 participants, the majority of students (67.1%) were willing to attend sessions on first aid. Those who had correct knowledge were more willing to attend the sessions (p<0.001), but were found to be reluctant in providing first aid to victims (p<0.042). Significant difference in frequency of self-assume knowledge among actual knowledge groups was only found for management of boiling water (p=0.021). Majority of the participants with self-assumption of correct knowledge (n= 210, 65.2%) had no accurate knowledge for providing first aid management of burns with boiling water.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Knowledge regarding commonly encountered first aid incidents among KU students was found to be low. However, they showed interest in acquiring this knowledge. It is suggested that first aid training programs should be made part of academic curriculum of schools, colleges and universities and overall awareness regarding its acquisition should be spread among communities.","PeriodicalId":140679,"journal":{"name":"Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care","volume":"67 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132237129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anemia is considered a complication of Hpylori infection. The present study aimed to determine the association of Hpylori infection with anemia in the Pakistani population.\u0000Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in Ziauddin University Hospital after taking ethical approval from the ethics committee. Medical records were reviewed for all those patients who investigated for helicobacter pylori infection and hematological parameters during 2020. Patients’ age, gender, residence, body mass index, presenting features, comorbidity, Hpylori status and other hematological parameters including hemoglobin (g/dL), packed cell volume (L/L), red blood cells (mcL), mean corpuscular volume (fL), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (pg) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (g/dL) were retrieved and analyzed.\u0000Results: A total of 370 records were reviewed. The median age of patients was 39 (IQR=27–50.3) years and the majority of them were females (54.6%). Nearly half of the participants had a helicobacter pylori infection (48.1%). Patients’ age (p=0.034), body mass index (p=0.048), gender (p=0.048) and symptom of heartburn (p=0.002) were significantly different among patients with and without Hpylori infection. 194 (52.4%) patients had anemia. The frequency of anemia among Hpylori positive and negative was 53.9% and 51% respectively. The risk of anemia was higher among Hpylori infected patients than non-infected patients but statistically, it was not significant (aOR=1.22, 95% CI: 0.79 - 1.86). The likelihood of microcytic hypochromic anemia was significantly higher in Hpylori infected patients than non-infected (aOR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.14 - 2.76).\u0000Conclusion: The present study did not find the association of Hpylori infection with anemia among the Pakistani population.","PeriodicalId":140679,"journal":{"name":"Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123321120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It causes symptoms such as insomnia, concentration and mood disturbance which affect the quality of life, job and academic performance.\u0000Objective: This study was proposed to find out the prevalence of RLS among healthcare undergraduate students with its primary complications.\u0000Method: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted in Healthcare Institutes of Karachi in July-19 to October-19. A questionnaire was given to 337 students, which was designed to diagnose RLS on the basis of criteria set by “International Restless Leg Syndrome Study Group”. The inclusion criteria were students aged between 18-25 years. Students having any neurological problem, hypertension, diabetes, pregnancy, musculoskeletal deformity or recent traumatic injuries were excluded from this study. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22.\u0000Results: The median (IQR) age of students was 21 (20-22) years. Out of these 337 students 40(11.9%) were males and 297(88.1%) were females. Restless Leg syndrome was diagnosed in 120(35.6%) students in which 110(91.7%) were females and 10(8.3%) males. 116(34.4%) students experienced leg cramps, while RLS positive students 116(96.7%) did not seek any consultation to health care professional.\u0000Conclusion: This study concluded that there was a high prevalence of RLS among healthcare students yet remains undiagnosed. There should be more awareness programs regarding RLS to prevent its symptoms and to improve the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":140679,"journal":{"name":"Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122684989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected and compared between students with chronic medical illnesses and those who were healthy. A validated Arabic version of the self-reported Brief-COPE Inventory was used to determine mean scores for 14 designated coping strategies. \u0000Results: A total of 405 students participated in the study; of these, 229 (56.5%) were male and 176 (43.5%) were female. Overall, 113 students (28%) had a chronic medical illness. Positive coping strategies named religion, acceptance planning, and active coping were the most frequently reported coping strategies among all students regardless of their health status, while substance use was the least common. There were statistical differences between the two groups in using certain coping strategies. The students with chronic medical illnesses tend to use acceptance and emotional support more than healthy students (P-value of 0.001 and 0.008 respectively). However, the healthy students use self-blames and denial as a coping strategy more than chronically ill students (P-value of 0.008 and 0.029 respectively). \u0000Conclusion: In addition to the current resources available at SQU, encouraging healthy coping mechanisms and provide support to students with chronic medical illnesses are required to alleviate their stresses, especially for students with chronic medical illnesses.","PeriodicalId":140679,"journal":{"name":"Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130858561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
