Pre-treatment lateral cephalograms were manually traced by a single experienced investigator. The sample was divided into two horizontal groups, using point A-nasion-point B angle. Comparisons were made based on gender and sagittal groups, and the effect of nasal profiles was assessed. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.Results: Of the 131 patients, 96(73.2%) were females with mean age 22.70±3.97 years, and 35(26.7%) were males with mean age 20.97±3.21 years. There were 65(49.6%) subjects in sagittal Class I group, and 66(50.4%) in sagittal Class II group. A significant and inverse relationship was noted for columellar length with linear position of the upper and lower lips to E and S lines (p<0.05). Inclination of the nasal base had the most effect on the naso-labial angle (p<0.05).Conclusion: Skeletal Class II had a prominent nose which created a relatively retrusive appearance of the upper and lower lips.","PeriodicalId":54369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association","volume":"76 2","pages":"220-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147461267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two clinics were randomised using the lottery method into intervention group A and control group B. The subjects in group A received two health education sessions in addition to standard care: the first session in the first week, and the second session in the fifth week after the first. The follow-up period lasted 12 weeks. Those in group B received standard care. Data was collected using the Human Papillomavirus Knowledge Scale and the Health Belief Model Scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.Results: Of the 216 subjects, 108(50%) each were in groups A and B; 54(50%) mothers and as many daughters. There were significant post-intervention differences between the groups (p<0.05). Among group A mothers, the intention to vaccinate their daughters was higher compared to those in group B (p=0.001).Conclusions: Health education regarding human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer prevention was found to be effective in increasing knowledge and promoting positive health beliefs, attitudes and behaviours.Rct registration: The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Trial #: NCT04113902 Date of Approval: April 15, 2019).

Malnutrition status was evaluated using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. The patients were divided into malnutrition group A and healthy group B. Prognostic nutritional index and contro ling nutritional status scores were calculated and compared. All the patients were followed up either through telephone or clinic visits for up to one year.
