Study Design: Randomized control trial Setting: Study was done at department of Urology, Nishtar Hospital Multan. The duration of the study was from January 2021 to January 2022. Methodology: 140 patients were divided into two groups randomly. In group A ureterorenoscopy (URS) with Pneumatic Lithotripsy was used for proximal ureteric stones management. URS was performed under general anesthesia. In group B, ESWL was done for the management of proximal ureteric stones identified by ultrasound and fluoroscopy. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis. Results: In this study In Intracorporeal Pneumatic Lithotripsy group the stone cleared in 90% patients and in ESWL group the stone cleared in 78.6% patients (p-value=0.595). In Intracorporeal Pneumatic Lithotripsy group the pain was present in 14.3% patients and in ESWL group the pain was present in 18.6% patients (p-value=0.494). In Intracorporeal Pneumatic Lithotripsy group the bleeding was noted in 25.7% patients and in ESWL group the bleeding was noted in 40.0% patients (p-value=0.072). Conclusion: This study concluded that intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripsy is a good alternate of ESWL for the management of upper ureteric stones (having size from 10 to 15mm).

Methodology: Seventeen hundred pregnant women in third trimester were screened. Out of them, 50 were identified to be suffering from thyroid dysfunction. The pregnant women in their third trimester and within the age group of 18-40 years were recruited. By using enzyme linked sorbent assay the serum levels of TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 were determined for each woman as a routine clinical health check-up practice. The women who had raised analytical levels as well as correlated clinical history were identified as suffering from thyroid dysfunction.

Objectives: The main objective of the study is to find the safety and effectiveness of direct Xa inhibitors vs warfarin in patients with nephrotic syndrome. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital, Barakahu, Islamabad from January 2022 till June 2022. The data were collected from 120 patients which diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. After permission from hospital ethical committee, total 120 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria was enrolled in the study. Detailed history of kidney disease and physical examination was done to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Informed consent was obtained. Results: The data was collected from 120 patients. Out of 120 participants, 60 were treated with warfarin while 60 were considered as control group. Median age was 26 years in group I and 25.3 years in group II (p=0.705). Female cases counted for 41 (86%) and 19 (14%) in I and II groups, respectively. Risk factors, clinical presentation, affected vessels and AF for both groups are depicted in Table I. Results from both groups were comparable and statistically, no significant differences were observed (p• value more than 0.05). Practical implication: This study will help in treating nephrotic syndrome and kidney complications. Conclusion: It is concluded that awareness about nephrotic syndrome in patients were low and its prevalence continues to remain high and is likely to increase globally.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was carried out at department of neonatology of Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital Muzaffargarh from January 2021 to June 2021. Term neonates, aged less than 28 days and diagnosed as the cases of sepsis, were included. After taking demographic information, a detailed medical history was obtained, and a complete clinical examination was done. Blood samples were taken from all the patients and sent to the Hospital diagnostic laboratory to evaluate the CBC, liver function test, serum creatinine level, coagulation profile, CRP, blood culture, and serum lactate level. All the data were collected by using structured study proforma, and SPSS version 26 was used for the purpose of data analysis. Results: A total of 56 septic neonates were studied, their mean age was 13.14+7.79 days. Females were 51.8% and males were 48.2%. Blood culture was positive in 75.0% of the cases, and CRP was positive in 98.2% of the cases.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration: Department of Pediatrics, Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Pakistan from Jan 2019 to Mar 2020. Methodology: A total of 150 children with IDA were included. At baseline, blood sample was obtained for assessment of hemoglobin level. Then children were randomly divided in two groups. In Group-A (n=75), patients were given ferrous sulphate while in In Group-B (n=75), IPC was given. After 12-weeks of treatment, hemoglobin level was assessed. Efficacy was labeled as “yes” if there was 2 g/dl hemoglobin improvement. Results: In a total of 150 children, the mean age in Group-A was 6.56±2.33 years and 6.05±2.78 years in Group-B. In group A, there were 37 (49.3%) males and 38 (50.7%) females while in Group-B there were 35 (46.7%) males and 40 (53.3%) females. At baseline in group A, the mean hemoglobin level was 6.07±1.12 g/dl while in group B, it was 6.16±1.14 g/dl.

Methodology: One hundred and seventy children were included. Those children having supracondylar displaced fractures of elbow with a grade 3 were included in the study as participant. K wires of 1.5-2cm were used after closed reductions were satisfactorily achieved. Padded-Back slabs at posterior position of elbow were applied.
