Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of PBL in developing knowledge of undergraduate nursing students. Methods: This study conducted a pretest–posttest experimental design among B.Sc. Nursing students of Saida Waheed FMH College of Nursing Lahore. Lottery method of random sampling was used to recruit the participants for experiment group and control group. A PBL-based treatment for the experimental group and a series of lectures was traditionally delivered to the control group on the topic of Diabetes Mellitus. Data was collected using MCQs-based questionnaire during pre-test-post-test processes. Results: This study identified the problem-based learning as more effective teaching method than lecture method after observing a significant difference between the scores of post-tests of lecture method (LM) and problem-based learning. The participants of the experimental group significantly gained more knowledge scores than the members of LM. Conclusion: The intervention of PBL method has significantly improved more knowledge of the participants of experimental group than the members of LBL. It reflects that PBL is a more important and effective teaching method in developing knowledge of nursing students than lecture method.

When the chance of an event occurring is calculated over and over again after adding new data or evidence at each step, the probability can reach the level of near certainty for given inputs. Thousands, even millions of data points are incorporated in calculating posterior probability for predictive analytics. The analytics are input neutral as programs predict the future events irrespective of the type of the data. AI has, thus, blurred the boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological worlds. The initial learning process is considered training where inputs are given to the program already marked for the expected outcome. This training information can either be highly precise or very vague allowing different degrees of freedom to the program but also increasing the burden of training. Once trained an AI algorithm is able to predict or analyze given input to suggest the required outcome with some certainty. This improves with continued training through feedback.","PeriodicalId":43918,"journal":{"name":"Annals of King Edward Medical University Lahore Pakistan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89115601","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}

Plastic surgery can address and markedly improve the anxiety level by addressing such lesions. Medical and surgical concerns related to body may elevate baseline anxiety. Although females are more concerned and fretful about such lesions, we observed that males are also prone to similar levels of anxiety. Objective: The objective of the study is to find out effect of plastic surgery on anxiety level of males having facial lesions. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Plastic Surgery Department of King Edward Medical University, Lahore, Pakistan from Feb 2018 to Jan 2019 and 100 male patients with either congenital or acquired lesions of face were enrolled and operated. Anxiety level was rated by applying Hamilton anxiety scale immediate preoperatively and satisfaction along with quality of scar was noted after 2 months. Results: 53% of enrolled patients were having educational status above secondary school, 63% patients were from urban, 56% patients were below 27 years of age, 44% were above 27 years of age and 33% were married. Trauma was the cause of lesion in 61% while 13% were with Rhomberg disease and 26% with congenital lesions disorder. Majority of patients had lesion involving forehead. On Hamilton anxiety scale, pre-operative anxiety score was high (21.76±5.846) as compared to \u0000postoperative score (10.04±4.537). Scar scoring with Vancouver Scar Scale was 4.36±1.798 post operatively. Majority of patients showed significant improvement in anxiety scores post operatively. Conclusion: Irrespective of age, socioeconomic status and education level, lesions involving face elevated baseline anxiety \u0000in males. Plastic surgery addresses these concerns permanently resulting in marked improvement in anxiety level.","PeriodicalId":43918,"journal":{"name":"Annals of King Edward Medical University Lahore Pakistan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83355882","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}

Vaccination has been shown to be effective in preventing such pandemics 1. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, researchers developed COVID-19 vaccines in record time with the assistance of pharmaceutical industries. By December 2020, many candidate vaccines had demonstrated safety and efficacy in phase III trials, \u0000with efficacy rates as high as 95%. The public's acceptance of vaccination is critical to the success of any immunization program2. Public suspicion about vaccines reduces their acceptance rate. It is well known that conspiracy theories and religious beliefs are linked to vaccine hesitation. During the 2009 pandemic, studies revealed low vaccine acceptance rates (17–67%)2,3,4.

Abstract: Methods: This interventional case series was carried out at Khalid eye clinic, Karachi during the period of March 2019 to August 2019. Twenty-five patients belonging to either gender between the ages of 20 to 50 years were included, having anophthalmic sockets with fornix deformities incapable of retaining ocular prosthesis due to variable causes such as cicatrization, symblepharon, cyst, or poor conjunctival suturing technique following evisceration or enucleation. Amniotic membrane was transplanted following the division of bands, excision of cyst and release of adhesions. Pre and post fornix measurements were done and each patient was followed for a duration of six months after the operation to observe the cosmetic appearance and retention of ocular prosthesis. Results: Good cosmetic outcome with retention of ocular prosthesis was achieved in twenty-three (92%) cases, whereas two (8%) cases ended up in failure despite multiple surgeries. The mean pre-operative lower fornix depth was 3.8 ± 1.23 mm, which improved to 8.9 ± 1.10 mm (p- value < 0.001). None of the patients developed any infection or graft rejection. Conclusion: Fornix reconstruction in an anophthalmic socket is a challenging task, but a good cosmetic outcome can be achieved using amniotic membrane transplantation together with good oculoplastic surgical expertise.","PeriodicalId":43918,"journal":{"name":"Annals of King Edward Medical University Lahore Pakistan","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78104839","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}
