Objective: To determine the position of hyoid bone on lateral cephalographs in various vertical facial patterns of orthodontic patients visiting Peshawar Dental College. Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted at Department of Orthodontics, Peshawar Dental College. A total of 75 patients (46% male and 54% female) fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included through non-probability purposive sampling technique. These patients were divided into three groups of 25 patients each on the basis of FMA and Y axis on lateral cephalographs. Six angular, seven horizontal and seven vertical linear measurements were measured to evaluate the position of hyoid bone with its associated structures in different facial heights. Results: One way ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni tests showed a statistically significant difference between hypodivergent and hyperdivergent patterns for angular measurement H axis-MP (p=0.021*) and vertical linear measurement H-MP (p=0.025*). In horizontal linear measurements, H-Pog has shown a statistically significant difference (p=0.023*) between normo-divergent and hyperdivergent facial patterns. Conclusions: Hyoid bone is positioned more infero-anterior in hyperdivergent subjects and superior-posterior in hypodivergent cases. The hyoid bone is positioned anteriorly in hyperdivergent subjects.

Objectives: The study describes the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures doped with metals including Ca, Mg, Mn, Ag and Cu using a co-precipitation method. Methodology: The nanostructures were examined through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) assessment The antibacterial efficacy of these nanostructures was evaluated using a modified disk diffusion Kirby Bauer method. Results: Nanostructures displayed effective antimicrobial activity against a variety of bacterial strains. The most effective nanostructures were found to be those made with Ca-Cefotaxime and Ag-Cefotaxime doped ZnO. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that the combination of ZnO and Cefotaxime with different metal ions has an impact on the antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains. To the best of our knowledge, nanoparticles with cefotaxime have not been studied in the literature before. Further studies should investigate the mechanism of action.

Objective: To report the frequency of IVH in preterm neonates and IVH grading on cranial ultrasound. Methodology: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out at NICH. All preterm infants of either gender were consecutively enrolled. Detailed history of the infant regarding the clinical examination and socio-demographic characteristics of the infants were noted. IVH was observed in all preterm neonates, and all infants were categorized according to the Papile grading. Results: Of 144 neonates, the mean age was 2.34 ±0.97 days. There were 93 (64.6%) males and 51 (35.4%) females. IVH was observed in 144 (37.6%) neonates. A significant mean difference of age (p: <0.001), gestational age (p: <0.001), birth weight (p: <0.001), APGAR score at 1 min (p; <0.001), APGAR score at 5 min (p: <0.001) was observed in between IVH and non IVH neonates. Furthermore, a significant association of place of admission (p: <0.001), mode of delivery (p: 0.038), need of invasive/non-invasive ventilator (p: 0.002), and preterm status (p: <0.001) was observed with IVH. IVH grade I was observed in 75 (52.1%), grade II in 45 (31.3%), grade III in 18 (12.5%), and grade IV in 6 (4.2%) neonates. Conclusion: A notably higher number of preterm neonates had IVH. While grade I was most common, a majority exhibited severe grades (III and IV). Extremely early preterm births carried increased risk of spontaneous delivery and greater reliance on invasive/non-invasive ventilator support.

Objective: To determine the factors influencing umbilical cord (UC) unhealthy practices among mothers of newborns babies Methodology: A total of 264 infants who were all new born babies presenting to neonatal unit, both genders and Pakistani nationals were included. Mentally retarded parents and infant with severe deformities like syndromes were excluded. The recorded data were age, gender of infants, parent’s education and socioeconomic status, place and mode of delivery, mother’s awareness of UC care, ompahilitis sign and umbilical cord care (healthy and non healthy). Chi square test was run to compare healthy and unhealthy practice among various factors. Binary logistic regression was run using cord care practice as dependent variable and significant factors as independent variables to calculate odds ratios with 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results: The mean of the participants were 5.66 ±4.72 days. The females were 107 (40.53%). Unhealthy UC practice was present in 107 (58.15%). Significant association was found of unhealthy UC practice with parent’s education (p<0.001) and socioeconomic level (p<0.001), place of delivery (p<0.001), and mother awareness (p<0.001). Less educated parents, low socioeconomic families, less aware mothers, infants born at home and influence of grandmother had more unhealthy UC practice. Conclusions: Non-healthy practices of UC are quiet higher in our set up. The significant risk factors for this are delivery at non health care facility, presence of omphalitis sign and awareness of mother.

Objective: To determine the moderating role of social support in determining the relationship between emotional exhaustion and the quality of life among rescue workers. Methodology: Correlational research was conducted. Purposive sample of 170 rescue workers as calculated by as calculated by G power formula. The age range of the sample was 22-46 years (M = 31.7, SD = 5.05). The data were collected from rescue offices of three districts of Punjab including Layyah Bhakkar, Jhung and one district Dera Ismail Khan of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa using demographic information sheet and related assessment measures. Data were analyzed using SPSS-26. Pearson product moment correlation and moderation through multiple hierarchical regression analyses to test the hypotheses. Results: Emotional exhaustion found to be positively related to secondary traumatic stress (r= 0.24, p < 0.01) and burnout (r= 0.21, p < 0.01) subscales of quality of life in rescue workers. It was also found that social support showed negative relationship with secondary traumatic stress (r= -0.22, p < 0.01) and burnout (r= -0.36, p < 0.01), while positive relationship with compassion satisfaction (r= 0.22, p < 0.01). Further, emotional exhaustion positively (B =.22, p < .01) and family support negatively (B =- .21, p <.01) predicted the burnout and secondary traumatic stress. The results showed significant interaction effect of family support and emotional exhaustion (B = -.97, p < .05) in predicting secondary traumatic stress in rescue workers. Conclusion: It is concluded that emotional exhaustion has an adverse effect on the quality of life of rescue workers, and this influence can be moderated and improved through the presence of social support.
目的:探讨社会支持在救援人员情绪耗竭与生活质量关系中的调节作用。方法:进行相关研究。目的样本为170名救援人员，由G幂公式计算得出。样本年龄22 ~ 46岁(M = 31.7, SD = 5.05)。数据是从旁遮普三个地区的救援办公室收集的，包括Layyah Bhakkar, Jhung和开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省Dera Ismail Khan的一个地区，使用人口统计信息表和相关评估措施。数据采用SPSS-26进行分析。通过多层次回归分析对Pearson积矩的相关性和适度性进行检验。结果:情绪衰竭与继发性创伤应激呈正相关(r= 0.24, p <0.01)和倦怠(r= 0.21, p <0.01)救援人员生活质量量表。社会支持与继发性创伤应激呈负相关(r= -0.22, p <0.01)和倦怠(r= -0.36, p <0.01)，与同情满意度呈正相关(r= 0.22, p <0.01)。进一步，情绪耗竭积极(B =。22、p <.01)和家庭支持负向(B =- 0.21, p < 0.01)预测倦怠和继发性创伤应激。结果显示家庭支持与情绪耗竭的交互作用显著(B = -)。[qh].05)预测救援人员继发性创伤应激。结论:情绪耗竭对救援人员的生活质量有不利影响，这种影响可以通过社会支持的存在得到缓解和改善。
