METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted from July to December 2020 in the Department of Gynecology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. A total of 287 women with postdated pregnancies (beyond 41 weeks) were selected through a convenient sampling technique for the study and followed to detect expected fetal outcomes. All women of age 20-45 with no signs of labor onset and cepahlic presentation of singleton pregnancy were included, while women with retained placenta detected by ultrasound, women with a medical disorder like coagulopathies (Haemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, Thrombocytopenia, DIC, Protein S deficiency, Protein C deficiency) detected by the specific investigation were excluded from the study. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. RESULTS: The mean age of the sample was 30.5 years, with a standard deviation of 6.1 years. The mean parity of the sample was 2.1±1.5. The mean BMI of the sample was 26.1±3.8kg/m2. On follow-up, fetal distress in 16%, macrosomia in 18.5%, birth asphyxia in 18.1%, meconium aspiration in 8.4% and NICU admission in 9.1%. None of the neonates died in this study. CONCLUSION: Postdated pregnancy carries a high risk of fetal distress, macrosomia and birth asphyxia. We recommend more large-scale surveys as well as trials to determine the efficacy of induction before pregnancy enters the postdate period and reduce the morbidity and mortality due to postdate pregnancies.

METHODOLOGY: This prospective observational study was conducted at Covid HDU of Dr.Ruth KM Pfau Civil Hospital, Karachi, from October - December 2021. Data was collected using convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria were patients between 18-70 years with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 and positive RT-PCR. Patients with negative RT-PCR with alternate diagnosis, history of using a corticosteroid, pancreatic or esophageal malignancy, and recent burn were excluded. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 23. RESULTS: Out of 141 patients, 66(46%) were classified as non-severe covid and 75(53.9%) as severe covid pneumonia. A significant association between eosinopenia and COVID severity was observed. The NLR was significantly increased in severe COVID patients compared to non- severe patients. Similarly, eosinophil was decreased considerably in severe covid compared to non-severe patients (p-value<0.05). The area under the eosinopenia ROC curve is 0.71 and 0.69 on days 7 and 3, respectively. Thus, eosinopenia on day 7 was fair in predicting severe COVID- 19 pneumonia compared with increased NLR, which was poor in predicting severe COVID-19. Using the area under the ROC curve, an eosinophil count cutoff of < 100 cells/mm3 produced a sensitivity of 75% for severe COVID-19 pneumonia. CONCLUSION: Eosinopenia and elevated NLR were found with increased frequency in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia; however, persistent eosinopenia was a better marker than NLR in predicting COVID-19 infection severity.

METHODOLOGY: An analytical cross-sectional study conducted from December 2021 to February 2022. A sample of teenagers (n=340) were selected from primary care clinics of Chanesar Goth and Hijrat Colony, Karachi. Participants were questioned regarding their daily usage of media. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was administered to assess the behavior. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23. RESULTS: A total of 350 teenagers were enrolled in the study, and the distribution of gender was almost equal. Daily usage of media included Television(88.9%), videogames(47.4%), computer/laptop(79%), mobile phone(90.3%) and tablet(20.9%).

METHODOLOGY: This retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, Dr RKMP Civil Hospital Karachi, in 2021. We reviewed the medical records of patients from January 2015 to December 2020. We included all pediatric patients admitted with suspicion of metabolic storage disorders based on two or more: visceromegaly, developmental delay, regression of milestones, fits without fever, family history of similar illness, and family history of expiry of children due to unknown reasons. Patients of malaria, enteric fever, epilepsy and cerebral palsy were excluded. We noted the demographic and clinical variables and applied descriptive statistics using SPSS version 22. RESULTS: Out of n=140 suspected children, n=40 (28.5%) patients were diagnosed with metabolic storage disorder. Among these, 26 (65%) were Lysosomal, and 14 (35%) were Glycogen storage disorders (LSDs and GSDs). The most common clinical feature of LSDs was faltering growth in 23 (88.4%), while for GSDs, it was abdominal distention and hepatomegaly in 100% of patients. Mucopolysaccharidoses were the most common type of LSD identified in 9(34.6%). Interestingly, family history of similar illness was not a standard feature (19.2% for LSDs and 7% for GSDs). CONCLUSION: Metabolic storage disorders are an emerging concern to pediatric health in our population. Physicians need to keep a high index of suspicion for patients with faltering growth and visceromegaly, with or without a significant family history.

METHODOLOGY: This experimental study was conducted from December 2017 to May 2018 on 100 post PCI patients. Patients who came with post PCI non-ischemic chest pain and on initial screening on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) patients scored 5 to 10 were included. Those who had post PCI ischemic chest pain with complications were excluded from the study. The Short McGill Pain Questionnaire (SMPQ) was used to assess the effectiveness of nursing educational interventions. Analysis of data was performed on SPSS version 21. Percentages were used for categorical variables, and inferential statistics were calculated using the Mann-Whitney Test. Mean and S.D. were calculated at baseline, week two, week four, and week six for both experimental and non-experimental groups. A P-value of 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: This study's findings showed that most participants (74%) were males and almost all (99%) were married.

METHODOLOGY: A hospital-based point prevalence cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out as a pilot project in November 2022 at MTI Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan. Patients satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria enrolled in the study, and a non-probability consecutive sampling technique was used. RESULTS: A total of 850 patients were admitted during the study period; out of them, 24.7% had type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Moreover, there were statistically significant differences χ2(2) = 94.67, p <0.01, in the mode of admission among the T2DM patients, with fewer cases shifted from other units compared to ER and OPD. The antidiabetic regimen prescribed during the hospitalization included an oral antidiabetic regimen (36.9%), oral plus twice-daily insulin regimen (19.63%), and basal-bolus insulin (15.07%).
