Study Design: Laboratory-based experimental study Place and Duration of Study: Pharmacology Department, University of Health Sciences, Lahore Pakistan, from Jan to Dec2016. Methodology: Thirty-six adult healthy male BALB/C mice with a weight range of 25-35 g were equally divided into six groups and designated as Group-I (Control), Group-II (Positive Control), Groups III to V (Torilis leptophylla extract trial Groups) and Group-VI (Omeprazole). Gastric ulceration was induced by a single dose of Indomethacin (20mg/kg) in Groups II–VI. The plant extract was administered in Groups III-V (100, 200, 300 mg/kg) whereas Omeprazole (3mg/kg) in Group-VI by gavage daily for three days as treatment of gastric ulceration. Nitric Oxide content was measured in gastric juice and serum of all groups by Nitric Oxide assay kit. Results: The positive Control-Group showed little Nitric Oxide in gastric juice and serum. Torilis leptophylla treated Groups (100 mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) showed significantly raised Nitric Oxide content in both gastric juice and serum than the Control Group (p<0.001). Conclusion: The study has determined that Torilis leptophylla possesses antiulcer and mucosal protective effects owing to the antioxidant activity of nitric oxide. This supports the use of the plant for the treatment of gastric ulcers.","PeriodicalId":31059,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal","volume":"11 3‐4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149174","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}

Methodology: Thirty neonates (15 cases and 15 controls) were randomly selected for this study. The Interventional Group was given GM-CSF and standard-of-care treatment; the Control Group only received standard care. Both groups were followed for the primary outcome (i.e., discharge or death). Secondary outcomes included the effects of GM-CSF on haematological parameters of neonatal sepsis. Results: The mean gestational age of the children was 33.46±2.47 weeks. In the Interventional-Group, 56.7% of the neonates were discharged with the resolution of the sepsis. There was no significant difference concerning the secondary outcome, but the mortality was higher in the neonates among the Control-Group (p-value>0.05). Conclusion: Our study showed no difference in mortality between the Interventional and the Control Groups. The GM-CSF therapy could be used as an adjuvant therapy in neonates with neonatal sepsis to increase the total leukocyte and absolute neutrophil counts. Further studies are needed to holistically chart the clinical benefit of GM-CSF adjuvant therapy.","PeriodicalId":31059,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal","volume":"159 5‐7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149247","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}

Study Design: Retrospective longitudinal study. Place and Duration of study: Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jun 2016 to Jul 2021. Methodology: After Institutional Ethical Review Board approval, data of all patients of carcinoma urinary bladder who underwent radical cystectomy during five years at Armed Forces Institute of Urology, was collected. Data was retrieved retrospectively from the hospital operative database, indoor patient records and by contacting the patients on their given telephone numbers. Results: In the study population (n=39), a male preponderance was found (36,92.3%).

Electrocardiogram data was collected in the portable document format that was further transformed into Image format for computational analysis. Administrative data were analysed in multiple episodes of cardiac arrhythmogenesis. Data were classified by using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on computing the results of selected T-waves in three consecutive peaks within each cardiac cycle of patients. Results: One hundred twenty-six patients diagnosed with arrhythmia were selected. The mean episode of premature ventricular contractions in participants was 21.5±30. The mean duration of significant ECG episodes was 3.33±9.65 (seconds).

Methodology: The study comprised sixty-two (62) diagnosed cases of RCC. All the patients had nephrectomy, and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis. Plasma samples for GAG levels were collected in EDTA tubes and assayed by manual ELISA. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed, and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) was calculated. Results: The mean age of the study population was 52.7+10.5 years. At a cut-off of 34 ng/ml, the sensitivity and specificity of plasma GAG levels were 83.9% and 94.2%, respectively, in diagnosing RCC taking biopsy as a gold standard. Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) at this cut-off were 93.7% and 84.9% respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) for plasma GAG levels was 0.97, which further supported the use of this test in diagnosing RCC. Conclusion: Plasma GAG levels can be used as a promising diagnostic test in patients with RCC. It can prove relatively more convenient and cost-effective for diagnosing such cases.","PeriodicalId":31059,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal","volume":"15 3‐6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149407","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}
