Female prisoners have significant unmet needs related to transitional menopause experience because a majority of them are illiterate and from an underprivileged class and limited access to health services. Our objective is to explore the menopause experiences of women incarcerated in jail. \u0000METHODOLOGY: A semi-structured questionnaire was used, 48 women were interviewed using face-to-face interview technique. Participants were selected by convenience sampling. The study was conducted in Kot Lakh Pat jail Lahore among female prisoners, age ranging from 40 to 60 years. \u0000RESULTS: Mean age of women was 45.4 +4.6 years, about 44(91.6%) were aware of menopause, while only 4(8.3%) were aware of its health effects. 44(91.6%) of female prisoners viewed it as a natural process, and 4(8.3%) viewed it as a disease. 41(85.4%) of women are happy with the transition to menopause, while 7(14.5%) are anxious and want to menstruate again. There were statistically significant differences in the Somatic symptoms and psychological symptoms (p<0.05). \u0000CONCLUSION: The majority of female prisoners were concerned about symptoms even though they did not go for consultation due to a lack of information and health services in prison. To increase public health awareness and reduce the magnitude of menopause-related symptoms, there is a need to develop health care services in the context of treatment and prevention for women prisoners in their present locality.","PeriodicalId":178216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University Medical & Dental College","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117029586","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}

The objective is to observe the outcome of diaphyseal femur fracture treatment of femur shaft with the union and full weight bearing by bridge plate osteosynthesis among adults. \u0000METHODOLOGY: A Prospective observational study was conducted in the department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Postgraduate Medical Institute/Lahore General Hospital. A sample of 30 patients was calculated using WHO calculator. Convenient sampling was used for patient selection. After reducing the fracture (indirectly), the other end of the plate was also fixed with screws. Data was collected at 6th months post-operatively to see radiological union and weight-bearing status. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 25. Fisher exact test was applied. p-value≤0.05 was considered significant. \u0000RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 34.66±9.22 years. Gender distribution of patients shows that 17% of the patients were females, and 83% of the patients were male. At the 6th month follow-up, all 30 (100%) patients had achieved bony union. At the 5th month, 14(46.7%) of the operated cases were allowed to bear 36-45 Kg weight (p=0.024), and in the 6th month, there were 20(66.7%) operated cases were allowed to bear full weight after the radiological union (p=0.013). \u0000CONCLUSION: Bridge plating technique is a safe, easy, and effective method of fixation for comminuted diaphyseal fractures of long bones in terms of bony union and weight bearing.

The aim is to evaluate NTL ratio as a prognostic factor in diabetic foot syndrome and its importance in diabetic wounds. \u0000METHODOLOGY: Descriptive cross-sectional study was to evaluate NTL ratio for prognosis of DFS. All cases were assessed for smoking, body mass index, presence of wound, glycated hemoglobin level, peripheral limb ischemia and infection. Patients were examined for a period of 12 months to assess wound if it resulted in minor amputation (below the level of ankle), major amputations (below/above knee amputation), chronic wound or completely healed wound. Chi-Square test was applied for categorical data. \u0000RESULTS: Total 100 patients were included and 61% were smokers. Average BMI was 31.7 and 34.5 in males and females. Complete wound healing found in 18% cases after debridement and chronic wounds in 15% patients. Subjects had to undergo major (above ankle) 16% and minor (below ankle) 51% amputations. Mean NTL count was 3.5 in fully healed wounds, 4.3 in chronic wounds, 6.9 in major amputations, and 5.2 in minor amputations. As the p-value indicates, there is a significant relationship between healed wounds, minor amputations, Chronic wounds and major amputations and the NTL ratio. \u0000CONCLUSION: Results revealed NTL ratio has independent prognosis in DFS for anticipating wound upshot. NTL ratio has a significant link with healed wounds, minor amputations, and major amputations, as indicated by p-value.","PeriodicalId":178216,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University Medical & Dental College","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116263235","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}

Post-burn contractures result in the limitation of movement around a burn area. Burns contractures, if left untreated, may cause limitations in the range of motion and daily living tasks. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of soft tissue mobilization versus static stretching in post-burn contractures at the elbow and wrist. \u0000METHODOLOGY: A pilot study was conducted, and 36 patients were enrolled. Patients with post-burn contracture were divided randomly into two groups. Allocation of patients in both groups was done by computerized generated list. The treatment frequency was 3 times a week.

The objective of this study is to make a comparison and correspond biochemical variants(to analyze the difference) of fasting blood glucose, serum magnesium, and major lipid analytes (serum total cholesterol and triacylglycerol) in diverse medical groups of both T1DM and T2DM. \u0000METHODOLOGY: It was a cross-sectional observational study carried out at Sahiwal teaching hospital, Sahiwal, Pakistan, including 250 research participants. The study used a traditional time-bound sample size of 6 months starting from first March to August 2021through a random selection approach. \u0000RESULTS: Out of 250 participants, 200(80%) of whom(omit) had diabetes mellitus (DM), The number of men with diabetes 110(55%) was greater than the percentage of women with diabetes 90(45%) in this study. 52(26%) of the research participants had T1DM, whereas 148 (74%) had T2DM.
