ABSTRACT: Objective:           To determine the role of amiodarone prophylaxis in the prevention of dysrhythmias following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with low ejection fraction (EF). Methods:           In this prospective comparative study, we included150 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Multan Institute of Cardiology within a duration of 07 months from Jan-2019 to Aug-2019 having low ejection fraction (EF ≤35%). In the intervention(amiodarone) group (N=75), 3 mg/Kg of amiodarone was given after removal of X-clamp and before weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. while in the remaining 75 patients no anti-arrhythmic treatment was given in the peri-operative period. Occurrence of postoperative arrhythmia (AF and bradycardia) during the primary hospital stay after surgery was a primary study endpoint. Results:           There was no significant difference between the mean age, gender and body mass index (BMI) of patients in the two groups. Regarding per-operative data, there was no significant difference in number of grafts in amiodarone group 3.9±0.53 and control group 3.04±0.50 (p-value 0.20). Frequency of Atrial fibrillation (AF) after the surgery was significantly differenced in both groups. In the amiodarone group, 13 (17.3%) patients developed POAF and in the control group, POAF occurred in 25 (33.3%) patients (p-value 0.024). Conclusion:           Amiodarone prophylaxis significantly lower the incidence of POAF after CABG in patients with low EF. Amiodarone is easy to administer and is a valuable adjuvant for prevention of POAF.
摘要:目的:探讨胺碘酮预防低射血分数(EF)患者冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)后心律失常的作用。方法:在这项前瞻性比较研究中,我们纳入了2019年1月至2019年8月7个月内在木尔坦心脏病研究所接受冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)的150例低射血分数(EF≤35%)患者。干预组(胺碘酮)75例,取下X-clamp后及体外循环停药前给予胺碘酮3 mg/Kg。其余75例患者围手术期未给予抗心律失常治疗。术后主要住院期间发生的心律失常(房颤和心动过缓)是研究的主要终点。结果:两组患者的平均年龄、性别、体重指数(BMI)差异无统计学意义。在术前数据方面,胺碘酮组(3.9±0.53)与对照组(3.04±0.50)的移植物数量差异无统计学意义(p值为0.20)。两组术后房颤发生频率差异有统计学意义。胺碘酮组有13例(17.3%)发生POAF,对照组有25例(33.3%)发生POAF (p值0.024)。结论:胺碘酮预防可显著降低低EF患者冠脉搭桥后POAF的发生率。胺碘酮易于使用,是预防POAF的一种有价值的佐剂。

Background: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are considered a good choice for undergraduate formative assessment as they have higher reliability and are generally feasible. The objective of this study was to evaluate the difficulty index of Multiple-Choice Questions in the end of block examination of preclinical undergraduate medical students at Rawalpindi Medical University. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Rawalpindi Medical University. End of Block assessment data was collected from Department of Medical Education, RMU. A total of 60 MCQs scores were randomly selected and the difficulty index was calculated after entering data in MS Excel. Data was then entered in SPSS version 24. Means and standard deviations of Difficulty indices were calculated and compared between first-year and second-year students by independent samples students t-test and between subjects by ANOVA. Results: Out of 120 Multiple Choice Items analyzed, in the first year MBBS block exam, 30% were easy, 65% were acceptable and 5% were difficult. In the second year MBBS block exam, 36.67% were easy, 56.67% were acceptable and 6.67% were difficult. There was no significant difference (p=0.986) between the mean difficulty index of first-year MBBS students and second-year MBBS students. However, the mean difficulty index was highest in physiology (66.53 ± 16.262) followed by biochemistry (64.36 ± 16.756) and anatomy (54.80 ± 17.665), and the mean difference between the subjects was statistically significant (p=0.005). The mean difficulty index in first-year MBBS students was highest for Biochemistry followed by Physiology and Anatomy. In second-year MBBS students, the mean difficulty index was highest in Physiology followed by Biochemistry and Anatomy. Conclusion: The difficulty index of Anatomy MCQs was lower indicating that the students find them more difficult than the other two subjects i.e., Physiology and Biochemistry in the first two years of their undergraduate medical studies.      
背景:选择题被认为是大学生形成性评估的一个很好的选择,因为它们具有较高的可靠性和通常的可行性。本研究的目的是评估拉瓦尔品第医科大学临床预科本科学生分组考试结束时选择题的难度指数。方法:这项描述性横断面研究在拉瓦尔品第医科大学进行。组末评估数据收集自RMU医学教育系。随机抽取60个mcq分数,在MS Excel中输入数据后计算难度指数。然后在SPSS version 24中输入数据。采用独立样本学生t检验计算一年级和二年级学生难度指数的均值和标准差,采用方差分析比较被试之间的难度指数。结果:在分析的120个选择题中,在第一年的MBBS块考试中,30%是容易的,65%是可接受的,5%是困难的。在第二年MBBS模块考试中,容易的占36.67%,可接受的占56.67%,难的占6.67%。MBBS一年级与二年级学生的平均难度指数差异无统计学意义(p=0.986)。平均难度指数以生理学科最高(66.53±16.262),其次为生化学科(64.36±16.756),解剖学科(54.80±17.665),各学科间平均差异有统计学意义(p=0.005)。MBBS一年级学生的平均难度指数最高的科目是生物化学,其次是生理学和解剖学。在MBBS二年级的学生中,生理学的平均难度指数最高,其次是生物化学和解剖学。结论:解剖mcq难度指数较低,说明学生对解剖mcq的难度高于医学本科前两年的生理、生化两门学科。

Background and Objective: Resveratrol is a poly-hydroxyphenol plant toxin that alleviates oxidative stress by increasing endogenous antioxidant levels and prevents tissue damage. The study aimed to investigate the anti-oxidative role of Resveratrol by histochemical, ultrastructural, and biochemical methods in Cisplatin-induced testicular toxicity in Wistar Albino rats. Material and Methods: Quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Department of Pharmacology, Anatomy and Postgraduate Laboratory of ISRA University Hyderabad from October 2020 to March 2021. Twenty-four male, normal adult Wistar albino rats were recruited and distributed equally into; Group-A (Control), Group-B (Experimental group or Cisplatin group), Group-C (Experimental group or Cisplatin + Resveratrol combination group). Pre and post-experimental body weight, analysis of oxidative markers, semen parameters, and histomorphology were carried out in all three groups. SPSS version 24.0 was used for the analysis of Data. Results: A statistically significant decline in the body weight and testicular weight in group B and C respectively (p<0.05). While reduction in sperm count, motility and viability was observed in Group-B compared with Group-C (p<0.05). Oxidative markers were also significantly depleted in Group-B in comparison to Group-C (p<0.05). Evident changes were observed in the testicular histology of Group-B compared with Group-C (p<0.05). Irregular, regressive, and atrophic seminiferous tubules were seen in Group-B. Most seminiferous tubules having normal morphology were observed in Group-C while the number of atrophic and degenerative seminiferous tubules also decreased significantly. Conclusion: Resveratrol is a potent protective agent with promising results in attenuating cisplatin-induced oxidative stress and eventually testicular toxicity.
背景与目的:白藜芦醇是一种多羟基酚植物毒素,通过增加内源性抗氧化剂水平来缓解氧化应激,防止组织损伤。本研究旨在通过组织化学、超微结构和生化等方法探讨白藜芦醇在顺铂致Wistar白化大鼠睾丸毒性中的抗氧化作用。材料与方法:准实验研究于2020年10月至2021年3月在海德拉巴ISRA大学药理学、解剖学和研究生实验室进行。选取24只正常成年雄性Wistar白化大鼠,平均分布于;a组(对照组)、b组(实验组或顺铂组)、c组(实验组或顺铂+白藜芦醇联合组)。对三组大鼠进行实验前和实验后的体重、氧化标志物、精液参数和组织形态学分析。采用SPSS 24.0版本进行数据分析。结果:B、C组大鼠体重、睾丸重量下降,差异均有统计学意义(p<0.05)。与c组相比,b组精子数量、活力和活力均降低(p<0.05)。与c组相比,b组氧化标志物明显减少(p<0.05)。与c组比较,b组睾丸组织学变化明显(p<0.05)。b组精管不规则、退变、萎缩。c组大多数精管形态正常,而萎缩和退行性精管数量也明显减少。结论:白藜芦醇是一种有效的保护剂,在减轻顺铂诱导的氧化应激和最终睾丸毒性方面具有良好的效果。

Objective: To assess the prevalence of internet use for medical purposes by the general public and to correlate it with anxiety levels. Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospitals of Rawalpindi from August to December 2020. Ethical approval was taken. A sample size of 385 was calculated through Rao software. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. Informed consent was taken. A validated questionnaire was used. The data was analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25. Frequencies and percentages were calculated. Chi-square test of significance was applied. P-value less than .05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: A majority of the participants used the internet to obtain health-related information. Majority of the subjects stated that the health-related searches exacerbated their anxiety. The negative effects of excessive or inappropriate internet use are stronger in women than in men. Participants from lower income groups were more prone to anxiety, however participants from higher income groups were slightly more likely to visit a doctor for a perceived health condition. The internet was helpful in understanding the terminology used by doctors for majority of the participants. Conclusion: The study found that most people who use the internet also use it for health related searches. There is a positive correlation between excessive health-related internet use and health anxiety. This correlation is stronger in women. Looking up medical terminology on the internet makes it easier for patients to communicate with doctors and understand their condition. Keywords: Anxiety, web searches, internet, cyberchondria
目的:评估公众为医疗目的使用互联网的流行程度,并将其与焦虑水平联系起来。材料与方法:本研究于2020年8月至12月在拉瓦尔品第三级医院进行分析性横断面研究。通过了伦理审批。通过Rao软件计算样本容量为385人。采用非概率方便抽样技术。采取知情同意。使用了一份有效的问卷。使用IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25对数据进行分析。计算频率和百分比。采用卡方显著性检验。p值小于0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:大多数参与者使用互联网获取健康相关信息。大多数受试者表示,与健康相关的搜索加剧了他们的焦虑。过度或不适当使用互联网的负面影响在女性中比在男性中更强烈。来自低收入群体的参与者更容易焦虑,而来自高收入群体的参与者则更有可能因为自己的健康状况而去看医生。对于大多数参与者来说,互联网有助于理解医生使用的术语。结论:研究发现,大多数使用互联网的人也使用互联网进行与健康相关的搜索。过度使用与健康相关的互联网与健康焦虑之间存在正相关。这种相关性在女性身上更为明显。在互联网上查找医学术语使患者更容易与医生沟通并了解自己的病情。关键词:焦虑,网络搜索,互联网,网络疑病症

ABSTRACT: Background: Failure of treatment with antibiotics occurs due to increase in number of Multidrug resistant gram negative bacteria, worldwide. The objective of this study was to find out the antimicrobial activity of crude ethanolic extract and its further three fractions by Ocimum basilicum leaves against multi drug resistant gram negative rods. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, University of Health Sciences, Lahore from 1st july 2016 to 30th june 2017. Total 80 multidrug resistant gram negative rods were included in this study. Agar dilution method was performed to determine MIC of crude ethanolic extract and different fractions i-e n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate of Ocimum basilicum leaves against multidrug resistant gram negative rods i-e ESBLs and carbapenemase producers. Muti-inoculater was used for inoculation. Results: The mean MICs of crude ethanolic extract, n-hexane fraction, chloroform fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction of Ocimum basilicum against ESBLs were 100.0±8.00, 168.13±8.00, 176.88±8.00 41.75±8.00 respectively. Similarly, the mean MICs of crude ethanolic extract, n-hexane fraction, chloroform fraction, and ethyl acetate fraction of Ocimum basilicum against carbapenemase producers were 77.50±8.00, 113.75±8.00, 132.50±8.00 and 29.50±8.00 respectively. Conclusions: Ethyl acetate fraction and crude ethanolic extract from leaves of Ocimum basilicum showed good antibacterial effectiveness against ESBLs and carbapenem resistant organisms than other fractions. This finding may also promote the effective use of O. basilicum herb and its components in modern medicine.

Introduction .Objectives of the study are:- 1) To determine the frequency of stress incontinence in pregnant females, 2) To determine the frequency of urinary incontinence is increased in primigravida (pregnant for first time), or multigravida. 3) To determine how many of the females are referred for physiotherapy. Methodology: A Cross-sectional survey was conducted among 600 pregnant females from January to June 2018 selected via the convenience sampling technique. Data was collected from different major cities of Pakistan using validated questionnaires including “The Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis” (QUID) and “International consultation on incontinence questionnaire” (ICIQ-SF) and self-structured questions assessing the reference of pregnant women to physiotherapy, for urinary incontinence. Subjects were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria with the consent and approval of the participants. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS v.20. Results Out of 600 females, 84.3% (506/600) had experienced stress urinary incontinence in pregnancy and a 64.5% urinary incontinence was found in multigravida females. According to the results, the complaints of urinary incontinence were increased during the 9th month to 35.5%. 6.2% of the participants were referred to a physiotherapist for exercise, out of which, 3.7% were prescribed daily exercise and 1% followed the exercise regime regularly. Conclusion This Study concludes that the frequency of stress urinary incontinence in third-trimester pregnant women especially during 9th-month multigravida is severed. Referral to physiotherapy for urinary incontinence in pregnancy is extremely low.
引言。本研究的目的是:-1)确定孕妇压力性尿失禁的频率,2)确定初产妇(首次怀孕)或多产妇尿失禁的发生频率增加。3) 确定有多少女性被转介接受物理治疗。方法:采用方便抽样技术,于2018年1月至6月对600名孕妇进行横断面调查。数据是从巴基斯坦不同的主要城市收集的,使用了经过验证的问卷,包括“尿失禁诊断问卷”(QUID)和“国际失禁咨询问卷”(ICIQ-SF),以及评估孕妇对尿失禁理疗的参考的自构式问题。受试者是在参与者同意和批准的情况下,根据纳入和排除标准选择的。使用SPSS v.20进行统计分析。结果在600例女性中,84.3%(506/600)的女性在妊娠期出现压力性尿失禁,64.5%的女性在多发性眩晕中出现尿失禁。根据研究结果,尿失禁的投诉在第9个月增加到35.5%。6.2%的参与者被转介给理疗师进行锻炼,其中3.7%的参与者接受了日常锻炼,1%的参与者定期遵循锻炼制度。结论本研究结论,妊娠晚期,尤其是9个月多孕期,压力性尿失禁的发生频率是降低的。妊娠期尿失禁的物理治疗转诊率极低。
