This lens fogging results in increase per operative time. Many techniques are available to improve vision during laparoscopy. These include anti fog solutions, touching a visceral organ, use of warm water or scope warmer, sterile cloth can be used which can be dry or wet. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was a cross sectional study conducted in general surgery department Gulab Devi Hospital Lahore from January 2022 to July 2022. A total of 70 patient undergoing laparoscopic surgery were recruited in this study. Operative time, duration of time lens remained cleaned or dirty, time wasted during cleaning, methods used for cleaning of lens and there time duration and causes of lens contamination were the variables of this study.  RESULTS Total operative time in all 70 laparoscopic procedures was found to equate to 53 hours and 13 minutes with a mean of 43.8 ± 8.3 minutes. A total of 288 lens contamination events were observed in all these operations with an average of 4.11 lens contamination events per case. According to study an average, 60.9% of the operational time lens remained clear, 31.2% of the operational time lens remained contaminated and 7.92% of the operative time was spent in cleaning the laparoscope.  CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that a significant period of a laparoscopic surgery is performed with foggy display. A lot of time is wasted in lens cleaning which can be saved by reducingcontamination using perfect techniques to clean lens.","PeriodicalId":33701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamabad Medical and Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135994143","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}

It could be primary (Polycythemia Vera), or secondary, due to chronic hypoxia or increased erythropoietic drive. Polycythemia is managed with therapeutic phlebotomy along with treating the underlying cause if determined. Phlebotomy of one unit whole blood should result in fall of Hb of at least 1g/dl. This study was conducted to see the effect of phlebotomy on fall in Hb level.Different parameters which can affect Hb levels in polycythemia patients, like age, JAK-2 mutation status and underlying cause were also studied.Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted at blood bank of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) General Hospital, Islamabad Pakistan January 2020 to December 2020. Data were collected from 121 patients of Polycythemia vera who reported in blood bank for phlebotomy.Results: The average pre phlebotomy hemoglobin of the patients was 17.45g/dl, which dropped to 15.97g/dl after phlebotomy. In total, 89 (73.5%) patients who underwent phlebotomy had a fall in Hb of greater than or equal to 1g/dl, while in 32 (26.4%) patients, Hb drop was less than 1g/dl. One hundred and five patients underwent multiple therapeutic phlebotomies to maintain their hemoglobin within normal range.Conclusion: This study has shown that there is fall in Hb as result of recommended phlebotomy leading to relief in symptoms due to Polycythemia. Phlebotomy is the basis of treating polycythemia, although in secondary polycythemia the underlying cause should also be diagnosed and treated.","PeriodicalId":33701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamabad Medical and Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033693","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}

With limited vaccines available and no effective therapeutic treatments against arboviruses, the control of Aedes mosquito populations is currently the only strategy to prevent disease transmission. The risk of contracting dengue infection has increased dramatically since 190s. This upward trend is due to increases in long-distance travel, population growth and urbanization, lack of sanitation, ineffective mosquito control, and increases the surveillance and official reporting of dengue cases. Traditional control of mosquito vectors using various insecticides has caused toxic effect on environment and living communities, pro magnification, non- target effect and above all developed resistance in vector mosquitoes. Therefore, new tools and strategies are required to control mosquito vectors to control these diseases. Recent studies on midgut and other organs in mosquito vectors indicated the presence of diverse and dynamic microbial flora, known as microbiota. These microbes are mostly containing symbiotic microbiota play a key role in mosquito physiology, reproductive capacity and immunity. The midgut microbiota have also suggested to alter the competency of mosquitoes to transmit various pathogens (arboviruses, malaria parasites etc.). Many of these symbiotic bacteria have been explored for the potential to combat mosquito borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, Zika, yellow fever etc. The possibility to rear mosquitoes in which a particular bacterial species is dominant among the gut microbiota supports the development of strategies based on symbionts that induce antiviral responses or antiviral molecules in Ades mosquitoes","PeriodicalId":33701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamabad Medical and Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136034760","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}

It is well known that no one device suits all patients. Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) and Soft Mist Inhalers (SMIs) are widely used even if benefits to patients are strictly related to their usability. Our aim of the study was to assess the frequency of patients with chronic obstructive lung diseases having improper metered dose inhaler technique. Methodology It was a cross-sectional study done at outpatient Department of Medical Department, Federal Government Polyclinic Hospital, Islamabad over a period of 3.All Patients with COLD presenting in OPD were assessed as having either a correct (performed ALL 6 steps correctly) or incorrect (not performed all steps correctly) inhaler technique, data being recorded on proforma. RESULTS A total of 250 patients were included in the study ranged between 14-70 years with mean age of patients 46.5±15.7 years. Total of 6 steps of inhalation technique was observed. Mean steps was 3.8±1.4.

Stratification for age, gender, duration of COLD, education, marital status, occupation and BMI was also carried out. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that incorrect technique during inhalation is common among our patients with COLD hence it emphasizes an essential role of health professionals in regular evaluation of their patients and caregivers to ensure correct application of inhalation devices.  KEY WORDS Metered dose inhalers (MDI), Chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), Correct technique","PeriodicalId":33701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamabad Medical and Dental College","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136115933","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}
