A total of 8 (17.02%) student were found to have ADHD, with a higher frequency in male students. Junk food consumption was found to have an association with ADHD. ADHD is a common finding in school going children of district Kohat. The frequency is particularly high in male children and is strongly associated junk food consumption.","PeriodicalId":184438,"journal":{"name":"LIAQUAT MEDICAL RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117157262","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}

This study was performed at Punjab Institute of Cardiology Pakistan from January 2010 to December 2015. A total of 1105 patients with only primary rheumatic mitral valve disease were prospectively observed. A total of 931 patients were enrolled into the study. After sternotomy & cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at 28-32°C, antegrade blood cardioplegia with potassium, Ice slush was applied all the time during repair or replacement of the mitral valve. A pre-designed proforma was used, that recorded phrenic nerve injury. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 21 was used for the analysis of data. Out of 931 patients who underwent mitral valve repair or replacement, 466 (50.1%) were males. Time spent on CPB ranged from 40 to 120 min; in 58.1% patients the time remained less than 80 minutes. As far as the ascending aortic cross clamp time was concerned, 83.1% patients had less than 40 minutes of cross clamp time. Post-operative chest X-ray remained normal in 97.5% patients whereas it showed atelectasis in 2.3% and elevated left hemidiaphragm in 0.2% of the patients. The total in-hospital mortality was 3.2% during study period. No patient was found to have phrenic nerve injury, unilateral or bilateral, during the study period.Topical cooling of heart, during mitral valve replacement, with Ice slush per se is not responsible for Phrenic nerve injury.","PeriodicalId":184438,"journal":{"name":"LIAQUAT MEDICAL RESEARCH JOURNAL","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123923574","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 complete blood picture (CBC), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen, D-Dimer, liver function tests were performed. Out of 127 cases about 95.8% patients presented with myalgia and 88 had headaches. No splenomegaly or hepatomegaly was observed. Serologic antibodies were found in all patients. Average platelet count and white blood cell count were 47.2x103 /ul and 5.3x103/ul respectively. Eighty-three patients had prolonged PT while 92 patients had prolonged APTT value. Raised total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and SGPT were found in 7, 91 and 87 patients respectively. Highly elevated D-Dimer values were recorded in 96% cases while only 12% patients had higher fibrinogen levels.
