We used purposive sampling technique. Total 100 consenting individuals were recruited that were equally divided into control group and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease group. Anthropometric measurements alongwith peak expiratory flow rate and hand dynamometry values were measured. Results: We found significant difference in hand grip strength and peak expiratory flow rate between the case and control groups, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients have decreased peak expiratory flow rate and handgrip strength. Weak correlation exists between peak expiratory flow rate and hand grip strength with significant p value. No relationship was found between waist hip ratio and hand grip. Also, body mass index showed a weak negative but statistically significant correlation with hand grip strength. Conclusion: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, hand grip strength is decreased and determining hand grip strength may ensures quick assessment of quality of life.","PeriodicalId":350655,"journal":{"name":"ANNALS of JINNAH SINDH MEDICAL UNIVERSITY","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129827907","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}

Data was collected from undergraduate MBBS students via an online questionnaire. Results: Total participants in the study were 219. Age range was between 18 and 26 years. A majority (82%) of medical students were aware of the causal relationship between HPV and cervical carcinoma. Only 53% of students had the knowledge for the need for regular pap smear. Students confessed about lack of knowledge regarding HPV and its preventive measures with 82% of students admitting to having gaps in their knowledge.

All women of reproductive age attending the outpatient department were consecutively included. A pre-structured questionnaire was used for the purpose of collection of data. We obtained information regarding the use of contraception before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and the contraception methods used by these women. Furthermore, reasons for discontinuing contraception amongst those women who were using it earlier. The occurrence of pregnancy during pandemic was also noted. Results: Of the 350 women, 306 (87.4%) women practiced contraception before and 288 (82.3%) practiced it during the lockdown. Of 306 women practicing contraception before the lockdown, 265 (86.6%) continued practicing during the lockdown as well. Condom 145 (50.3%) and withdrawal method 116 (40.3%) were the most used methods amongst the 288 women practicing contraception during the lockdown. The noticeable increase in the number of those using withdrawal method was due to the lack of consultation following the fear of getting COVID (17 women, 41.5%) and no access to the clinic (14 women, 34.1%). These were the most common reasons for not using contraception, amongst the 41 women practicing contraception before the pandemic. Pregnancies were reported by 93 (26.6%) women out of whom 75 (80.6%) reported these to have been unplanned. Conclusion: The COVID pandemic has largely affected the utilization of contraceptives among women who were already practicing different contraceptive methods. Moreover, unplanned pregnancies are increasingly reported by women.","PeriodicalId":350655,"journal":{"name":"ANNALS of JINNAH SINDH MEDICAL UNIVERSITY","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116795214","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}

A total of 97 consenting patients who suffered from delayed union following intramedullary interlocking nailing were included in the study. Dynamization involved removal of proximal or distal locking screws in statically locked intramedullary nail. Patients were followed up for six months to check for delayed bone union. All the collected data were entered into a pro forma and used electronically for research purpose. Results: Over all union was achieved in 72 (74.2%) cases after dynamization. The mean age of our study population was 39.42+13.79 years. Advanced age, smoking, fresh or old fracture, the time of initial intramedullary nailing, and diabetes were associated with decreased efficacy of dynamization, with p-value <0.001, 0.033, 0.007, and <0.001 respectively. While no significant association was found between gender, BMI, hypertension, and union (p-value >0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study support the idea that dynamization can be an effective method to promote healing in tibia diaphyseal fractures for delayed union. More randomized comparative clinical trials are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamization.","PeriodicalId":350655,"journal":{"name":"ANNALS of JINNAH SINDH MEDICAL UNIVERSITY","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125003329","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}

Data was collected prospectively from patients’ medical record files. COVID-19 infection positive cases were diagnosed according to the guidelines of the WHO on laboratory investigation of real time polymerase chain reaction tests on a nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab. Result: Total 143 patients were enrolled in the study with median (IQR) age of 58 (48–69). The majority of the patients were males (n=96, 67.13%) and had moderate to severe disease (n=128, 89.51%). During their hospital stay, patients developed the following complications; pneumonia (n=99, 69.23%), ARDS (n=19, 13.28%), sepsis (n=11, 7.69%), septic shock (n=5, 3.49%) and pedal edema (n=2, 1.39%).

While 54 (37.76%) patients died during their hospital stay. On multivariable model, pneumonia, use of non-invasive ventilation, and mechanical ventilation, were identified as independent predictors of mortality.

The participants were students of 3rd year, 4th year and 5th year M.B.B.S. The sample size was calculated to be 282, using open EPI software. The data was collected through a scientifically designed questionnaire which included questions about the over all knowledge, risk factors, complications, diagnosis, treatment, methods of prevention, and WHO criteria of Diabetes Mellitus. SPSS version 22.0 was used for data analysis. Results: About 275 (98%) students had knowledge of the site of insulin production and 255 (90%) knew exactly how insulin produces its effects. Regarding the clinical presentation of DM, 262 (93%) of them agreed that hunger, thirst, and urination present as the major symptoms of this disease (p=0.005).
