The study applied a mixed-method approach involving structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and focal group discussions. \u0000Results: The statistical analysis yields that birth order is statistically inversely related to the level of anxiety, having weak statistical evidence of significance. It predicts that the latterly born (younger) children experience fewer episodes and severity of anxiety as compared to the elder ones. \u0000Conclusion: Family support is a critical factor in buffering anxiety among children. The study suggests the parental consideration of birth order to provide a balance of attention and care to overcome the psychological adverse outcomes among children. Further scholarly attention is required to study the association among these dynamics with multiple approaches for further analysis of associated aspects.","PeriodicalId":477930,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University","volume":"50 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139448010","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}

Some individuals may experience crippling symptoms of arm ischemia and vertebral-basilar insufficiency due to subclavian steal, which is more frequent than the accompanying illness. Patients with uneven arm blood pressure or unilaterally faint pulses should be evaluated for subclavian steal. Although it is not always necessary to check the blood pressure and pulse on both sides, they become significant when these measurements differ and are accompanied by vertebral-basilar or arm ischemia symptoms. Although subclavian steal does not significantly increase the risk of stroke, it is nevertheless essential to recognize and treat asymmetric blood pressure and weak pulses as these may be signs of subclavian steal syndrome. This page thoroughly analyses the aetiology of subclavian steal syndrome, signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and available treatments.","PeriodicalId":477930,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University","volume":"25 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139444873","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}
