The lower respiratory tract is the major site of inflammation seen in COVID-19-positive individuals. Vitamin D (Vit D) has been proposed to have a positive role in immunomodulation, hence, this study aimed to determine the association between Vit D levels and the severity of COVID-19 in infected pediatric patients presenting at a secondary healthcare hospital in Pakistan. \u0000Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 100 pediatric patients of the age range 1-18 years from March to December 2021. These patients were hospitalized and diagnosed with coronavirus disease with confirmed results on a real‐time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Blood samples of the patients were taken to monitor the baseline levels of markers of acute infection and Vit D levels. Patients with serum Vit D levels ≤ 20ng/ml were labeled with deficiency, those with levels 21-29ng/ml were presumed to have Vit D insufficiency whereas levels ≥30 ng/ml were considered normal. \u0000Results: There were 57 (57%) males and 43 (43%) female pediatric patients. The mean age of the patients was 10.46 ± 4.25 years (1-18 years). The deficient Vit D level group had a greater frequency of pyrexia, weakness, cough, anosmia, headache, myalgia, and diarrhea.

Oxidative stress is a fundamental component in the pathogenesis of DM Ajwa dates are known to have a high antioxidant content, especially in their seeds. Hence this study was designed to determine the preventive effects of Ajwa date fruit on alloxan-induced diabetes in an experimental rat model. \u0000Methods: This experimental study was conducted at the Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lahore, Pakistan. A total of forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups with eight animals in each. Rats in group A were normal control, whereas rats in group B were induced with intraperitoneal alloxan (160 mg/kg body weight) to develop diabetes. Groups C, D, and E rats were fed on a diet supplemented with Ajwa flesh, seed, and whole Ajwa respectively for 1 week. Blood and urine glucose levels were measured on days 0, 7 (pre-alloxan) and 11, 14, 19 (post-alloxan). Serum insulin, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) for β-cell function (HOMA-β), and insulin resistance (HOMA[1]IR) were estimated terminally. \u0000Results: Diabetes was induced successfully in animals of all experimental groups except the normal control group. Rats of the Ajwa-seed group (D) showed relative resistance to diabetes induction with three non-diabetic rats on day 19. In group E, rats had lower blood sugar levels than rats in group C (p = 0.010). Serum insulin, HOMA-β and HOMA-IR, revealed partial beta cells restoration in the experimental animals of groups D and C. Insulin resistance was significantly higher, despite the highest insulin level (3.77 µIU/ml; p value <0.001) in group C. \u0000Conclusion: Ajwa date seed powder appears to provide relative protection against the development of diabetes in rats induced by alloxan.","PeriodicalId":9186,"journal":{"name":"Biomedica","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87023161","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 objective of the current study is to compare single-staged reverse sural artery flaps with two-staged interpolated flaps in distal lower limb injuries. \u0000Methods: It was a prospective study carried out at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Allama Iqbal Memorial Teaching Hospital, Sialkot, Pakistan, over 5 years from 2015 to 2020. Sixty-eight (n = 68) patients with distal lower limb soft-tissue defects were enrolled and randomly allotted a two-stage interpolated flap design (group A) or single-stage reverse sural artery flap design (group B). The measured outcomes included the frequency of flap-tip necrosis, epidermolysis, partial or total flap loss, and additional procedures needed for managing these complications. \u0000Results: Out of all the patients, 72% were of male gender and 28% were females with a mean age of 38.38 ± 10.76 years. In group A, there were 6% of the cases where tip necrosis was the only impediment as compared to 17% in group B. In patients of group A, epidermolysis was seen in 12% as compared to 35% in group B whereas only 6% of patients in group A required secondary procedures for flap tip necrosis as compared to group B (47%). Paired t-test was used to calculate the statistical significance of the outcome between the two groups (p-value of 0.0491). \u0000Conclusion: The two-staged interpolated flap procedure results in fewer complications as compared to a single-staged reverse sural artery flap procedure.

Pakistan is also combating this infection for the last decade. Cytokine genes play an important role in DF pathogenesis. This study aimed to analyze dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) genes promoter polymorphisms in DF patients. \u0000Methods: A total of 140 (n = 140) dDF patients were recruited for study at the Department of Human Genetics and Molecular Biology of University of Health Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan over a period of 3 years. Simple DF was noted in 105 patients (75%) while 35 (25%) showed bleeding complications. All patients were found positive for dengue non-structural protein or dengue IgM. All patients were tested for two polymorphisms in TNF-α (-238G/A, and -308G/A) and one polymorphism in DC-SIGN (-336G/A) using restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. A single nucleotide polymorphism stats program was used for statistical analysis. \u0000Results: Susceptibility to develop dengue infection in the presence of -336G allele odds ratio (OR = 27.95, p = <0.0001) and GG genotype (OR = 183.77, p = <0.0001) was found to be significantly associated in this study. Presence of a combination of alleles -336G/-238A/-308A was noted in 59.4% of DF cases and 7.6% healthy controls, a difference with statistical significance (OR = 31.46, p = <0.0001). Moreover, prevalence of DF symptoms showed a trend higher in G-carriers versus non-G-carriers of DC-SIGN -336 polymorphism. \u0000Conclusion: This work suggests a potential association of DC-SIGN -336 polymorphism with susceptibility to develop symptomatic dengue illness.

Parents of only those children were included for the study who had failed to receive a polio dose during the last two supplementary immunization activities The parents were interviewed on a pre-tested, semi structured questionnaire. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used for statistical analysis considering p-value <0.05 as significant. \u0000Results: Among 350 parents, 91.7% lacked knowledge about polio vaccination and 82% reported a negative attitude towards the disease and its immunization. A total of 11.4% of subjects completely refused to get their child vaccinated. The socioeconomic status, religious myths, level of literacy, and occupation of the parents significantly influenced their level of knowledge and attitude toward the disease and its vaccination (p < 0.05). \u0000Conclusion: Poor knowledge and negative attitudes of parents towards poliomyelitis vaccination were observed.
