Social media continue to play a significant role in an individual's life in spite of all of the technological advancements. One of the main reasons why people have insomnia in the modern society is the media. Aim: To ascertain whether University of Ibadat International University Islamabad physiotherapy students' use of social media and the quality of their sleep are related. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2022 to February 2023 among students of Ibadat International University Islamabad. Sample was raised through non-probability convenient sampling techniques. 231 participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was analyzed by SPSS 25. Result: Total participants were 112. Out of which 15(13.4%) were males and 97(86.6%) were females, 70(62.5%) were in the age group 18-20 years, 28(25%) were in the age group 21-23 years, 14(12.5%) were in the age group 24-26 years, 88 participants have low addiction; 4 with good sleep and 84 with poor sleep. Whereas 24 participants have high addiction; 1 with good sleep and 23 with poor sleep. Usage of social media 31-60 minutes per day was 2(1.8%), 61-120 minutes per day 35(31.3%) and more than 120 minutes per day was 75(67%). The study population's chi square association (p-value) was 0.709, suggesting that there was no significant correlation between social media disruption and sleep quality. Practical Implication: Smartphone use for work-related communication at night can reduce efficiency and disrupt sleep hygiene. Accessing social media on smartphones can prolong sleep onset latency, reducing overall sleep duration, and resulting in poor sleep quality and problematic patterns. Conclusion: There is no association found between social media usage and sleep among physiotherapy students and health care professionals of Ibadat International University.

Self-stigma and emotion dysregulation in people living with HIV (PLWH) have become urgent issues and have attracted the attention of both physicians and epidemiologists. Aim: To examine the relationship between disease-related stigma, emotional regulation, and depression in patients with HIV. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A purposive sample of 100 patients—70 male and 30 female diagnosed with HIV/AIDS was collected from two public hospitals in southern Punjab. Patients who had been diagnosed as being HIV positive for at least three months were included in the study. The age range of participants was 18 to 50 years. Patients with other medical issues were excluded from the study. Measures for data collection were the Discrimination and Stigma Scale (DISC), Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS), and Hamilton Depression Scale. The data was evaluated using SPSS version 24. Pearson’s correlation was applied. Results: There is an inverse relationship (-.34**) obtained between disease-related stigma and emotional regulation, whereas a significant positive relationship (r =.41**) is found between disease-related stigma and depression. A negative relationship (r=-.59**) is also examined between emotional regulation and depression. Emotional regulation is a mediator between disease-related stigma and depression in patients with HIV. There is a significant gender difference in depression. The mean score of depression is high among females as compared to males. Practical Implication: It improved the psychological health of HIV-positive patients by categorizing the issues they face. Conclusion: It was concluded that disease-related stigma is positively related to depression while emotional regulation is inversely related to depression. Emotional regulation also plays a mediating role between self-stigma and depression in patients with HIV positive. Women scored higher on depression as compared to men.

Aim: To determine the efficacy and safety of a symbiotic in the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria. Method: This was a randomized trial. This experiment at the Lahore General Hospital involved 204 participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria. Participants were randomized into two groups: oral antihistamines plus an oral probiotic sachet (1.5g) twice daily or oral antihistamines alone for eight weeks. The Urticaria Activity Score was used to evaluate efficacy and safety, while the validated Dermatology Life Quality Index assessed quality of life. An independent sample t-test and a Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the age, UAS7, and DLQI score between the two groups. A p-value ≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: Both treatments significantly improved the UAS7 and DLQI scores from baseline; however, the experimental group produced a significantly greater reduction in the UAS7 and DLQI scores compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in the mean baseline score between both groups. A Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare the mean DLQI score before and after treatment in both groups. The results revealed that there was a significant reduction in score from the baseline in both groups. Practical Implication: Due to a lack of clinical data regarding the effective treatment of this health issue, we planned the current project. The results of this study helped us assess the efficacy of probiotics as adjuvant therapy in our local population and added to our local literature. Conclusion: It was concluded that the combination of probiotics and antihistamines showed better efficacy than the antihistamine alone, based on the UAS7 and DLQI scores; hence, they can be used as treatment options among patients. Although further research must be done to validate these findings.

Various approaches used to invent novel signs for FDA accepted drugs are discussed in this review. Results: The repurposing of the drugs has obtained significance in identifying novel therapeutic uses for existing drugs. It is a productive strategy for the discovery of drugs also time and cost-effective.It fills the gap for the absence of efficiency of conventional drug development. Implications: In drug repurposing, selection and decision of suitable repurposing technique depend on previous knowledge and accessible data from particular studies. The best advantage of the drug repurposing technique is that for approved drugs all the required data is available.

Globally, plastic wraps are being used as a low-cost and effective method to maintain temperature. Aim: To compare frequency of neonatal hypothermia in preterm infants wrapped with and without plastic bag after delivery. Study design: This was randomized control trial. Methodology: This study was conducted using at Pediatrics department of SIMS hospital, Lahore, during 6 months. Data was collected using non-probability, consecutive sampling from a sample of 92 (46 newborns in each group). Infants randomized to group-B (no bag group) received standard hospital care based on WHO thermoregulation of the newborn protocol. The data was entered and analyzed in SPSS 23.

Material & Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at the department of Histopathology, Dr. Ziauddin Medical University and Hospital, north campus, Karachi, a total of 114 cases of malignant tumours were enrolled using consecutive sampling technique in a period of six months from 1st April, 2012 to 30th September, 2012. Patients of both genders and all age groups of histologically diagnosed case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastatic tumours, germ cell tumours (GCT) and squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) were all included in the study. The patients with benign tumours, malignant lymphoma, brain tumours, breast tumours, colon carcinoma and malignant melanoma were excluded from the study. The study outcome was determined as frequency of positive GPC-3 expression. Results: A total of 114 cases were enrolled. Average age was 48.8 years with majority of cases (70.4%) were 40 years or above age. Male gender was slight dominance (53.5%). Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common (78.9%) followed by, germ cell tumours (10.5%) including (6.1%) yolk sac tumour and 4.3% Germinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma was found in (6.1%) study cases. Most of the cases (45.6%) were moderately differentiated (SCC and HCC),followed by poorly (42.1%) and well differentiated (12.3%) grading.
