A critical aspect of obstetric care aimed at initiating or augmenting childbirth when natural processes are deemed insufficient or unsafe, employing various methods to ensure maternal and fetal well-being Objective: To compare the transvaginal ultrasound cervical length with bishop score in predicting cesarean section after labor induction. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Azad Jammu Kashmir Medical College (AJKMC), Muzaffarabad from January 2023 to June 2023. A total of 110 pregnant women aged 18 to 35 years having gestational age ≤ 40 weeks were included who underwent transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for measuring cervical length (CL) measurement and Bishop Score assessment before labor induction. Primary outcomes included cesarean section rates post-induction, with secondary outcomes covering maternal and neonatal variables. Results: The study involved 110 participants, with a mean age of 25.9 ± 4.00 years. Mean Bishop Score was 4.53 ± 2.06, and the mean cervical length measured by transvaginal ultrasound was 26.6 ± 7.37 mm. Misoprostol was the primary induction method (65.5%), with an overall Cesarean Section rate of 35.5%. Comparing CS and VD groups, BS was lower in CS (3.74 ± 2.20 vs. 4.96 ± 1.86, p = 0.005), while CL was higher (31.1 ± 6.70 mm vs. 24.1 ± 6.53 mm, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study found that transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) measurement of cervical length (CL) >27 mm demonstrated superior predictive ability for cesarean section (CS) following labor induction compared to the Bishop Score (BS) ≤5.
产科护理的一个重要方面是在自然过程被认为不充分或不安全时启动或促进分娩,并采用各种方法确保产妇和胎儿的健康:比较经阴道超声宫颈长度和 bishop 评分在预测引产后剖宫产方面的作用。方法2023 年 1 月至 2023 年 6 月,在穆扎法拉巴德的阿扎德查谟克什米尔医学院(AJKMC)妇产科进行了一项横断面比较研究。共有 110 名孕龄小于 40 周的 18 至 35 岁孕妇接受了经阴道超声波(TVS)检查,以测量宫颈长度(CL),并在引产前进行比绍普评分评估。主要结果包括引产后的剖宫产率,次要结果包括产妇和新生儿变量。研究结果该研究共有 110 名参与者,平均年龄(25.9±4.00)岁。平均毕晓普评分为(4.53±2.06)分,经阴道超声测量的平均宫颈长度为(26.6±7.37)毫米。米索前列醇是主要的引产方法(65.5%),总体剖宫产率为 35.5%。对比 CS 组和 VD 组,CS 组的 BS 更低(3.74 ± 2.20 vs. 4.96 ± 1.86,p = 0.005),而 CL 更高(31.1 ± 6.70 mm vs. 24.1 ± 6.53 mm,p < 0.001)。结论我们的研究发现,与 Bishop 评分(BS)≤5 相比,经阴道超声(TVUS)测量宫颈长度(CL)>27 毫米对引产后剖宫产(CS)的预测能力更强。

Eating attitudes play a crucial role in the overall well-being of individuals, particularly among university students who often face various academic, social, and personal stressors. Objective: To examine eating attitudes and body shape apprehensions among university students in Karachi, Pakistan, with a particular focus on private and public institutions. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was utilized to address this objective, selecting 200 students from private sector universities and 200 from public sector universities in Karachi, Pakistan, using purposive sampling. The participants, aged between 19 and (M=22.55, SD=1.813), completed a respondent's profile form, the Eating Attitude Test-26, and the Body Shape Questionnaire-16. Results: The findings revealed that undergraduates in public universities exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of disturbed eating attitudes compared to their counterparts in private universities. However, both groups of students experienced body image concerns at a relatively similar level. Additionally, first-year students in both private and public universities demonstrated significantly higher levels of body shape apprehension and disturbed eating attitudes compared to final-year students. Furthermore, students in social sciences exhibited more body shape apprehension and disturbed eating attitudes than their counterparts in science, engineering, and management faculties in both university sectors. Conclusions: This study underscores the noteworthy issue of disturbed eating attitudes and body shape concerns among university students in Karachi. To curb this problem among undergraduates, diligent monitoring and preventive measures are imperative.  
饮食态度对个人的整体健康起着至关重要的作用,尤其是对经常面临各种学业、社会和个人压力的大学生而言。研究目的研究巴基斯坦卡拉奇(Karachi)大学生的饮食态度和对体型的担忧,重点关注私立和公立院校。研究方法:采用横断面研究设计:为了实现这一目标,我们采用了横断面研究设计,通过有目的的抽样,从巴基斯坦卡拉奇的私立大学和公立大学中分别选取了 200 名和 200 名学生。参与者的年龄在 19 岁到(M=22.55,SD=1.813)之间,他们填写了一份受访者概况表、饮食态度测试-26 和体形问卷-16。结果显示研究结果显示,与私立大学的本科生相比,公立大学的本科生饮食态度不端正的比例明显更高。然而,两组学生对身体形象的担忧程度相对相似。此外,与毕业班学生相比,私立大学和公立大学的一年级学生在体形担忧和饮食态度方面表现出更高的水平。此外,在这两所大学中,社会科学专业的学生比科学、工程和管理专业的学生表现出更多的体形忧虑和饮食失调态度。研究结论本研究强调了卡拉奇大学生中值得注意的饮食态度紊乱和体型担忧问题。要遏制大学生中存在的这一问题,必须加强监测并采取预防措施。

The pervasiveness of urinary incontinence (UI) is very high in pregnant females due to various physiological changes during pregnancy. So, its global burden has increased to 41%. Objective: To determine the demographics, physical activity, family history and mode of delivery as possible factors responsible for UI among females during pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted for one year in Rural Health Centres Kangra and Kot Najibullah, District Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, from Dec 1 2022 to Nov 30, 2023, involving 311 women aged 25-45 years, examining UI. It encompasses demographic profiles, prevalent risk factors, and nuanced dimensions during pregnancy. The findings delineate the participants' demographic characteristics, showcasing an average middle age with indications of overweight status. Results: It highlights the multifaceted nature of UI by associating it with various comorbidities, notably emphasizing the prevalence of high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. The detailed exploration of UI during pregnancy reveals the predominance of stress-based types and varying severity levels. Moreover, this study offers insights into the impact of pregnancy on UI, illustrating a notable increase post-pregnancy. Conclusions: The information related to UI and its associated factors contributes valuable knowledge to healthcare professionals and physicians. They can provide tailored interventions and supportive therapeutic strategies to the individuals affected by UI and its etiological factors.

Self-medication is different from self-care in that it uses drugs, which might be helpful or detrimental. According to a number of studies, improper self-medication carries significant health concerns like unpleasant side effects, prolonged pain, and drug dependence. Objective: To explore the adverse effects of self-medication with antibiotics among medical students. Methods: Over the course of seven months, from November 2022 to May 2023, a multi-institutional cross-sectional study was conducted at the University Medical and Dental College of the University of Faisalabad and Bahria University Health Sciences, Karachi (BUHS). The ethical approval was obtained from the Ethical Review Committee of BUHS (Ref: ERC/05/2023) and Institutional Review Board of The University of Faisalabad (Ref: TUF/IRB/153/2022). A sample size was calculated by OpenEpi website calculator. Microsoft excel was used to store the data and IBM SPSS version 23.0 was used for data analysis. A self-designed performa was used to collect data. Results: There was a total of 1340 students in our survey, and an equal number of students 670 (50%) were recruited from each institute. 414 (61.8%) students from BUHS and 494 (73.7%) from UMDC were found to have self-medication practices. 39.9% and 38.2% of the students from 1st year and 2nd year of medical education were found to self-medicate. 69.5% of the hostelite students were found to self-medicate antibiotics. Conclusions: Our research can be concluded as self-medication of antibiotics is a common practice among future health care professionals, with the highest incidence seen in the 1st and 2nd year of medical education. Several adverse symptoms arising due to this practice were seen with the highest being tiredness and dizziness.

Low back pain is localized between the region of the 12th rib and less to the gluteal folds either radiating or not radiating to the lower limb. The prevalence of low back pain in Pakistan is about 41.4 percent. But all over the world, the Physical therapist's rate of work-related musculoskeletal problems is about 57 percent. Objective: To determine the attributes of low back pain among physical therapists and nurses in Pakistan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done from August 2023 to January 2024, throughout Pakistan. A sample size of 661 was divided into two groups. The sampling technique was non-probability purposive sampling. There were two measurement tools used Visual Analog Scale and the Oswestry Disability Index scale to rule out pain and the level of disability. The data were analyzed through SPSS version 23.0 software. Results: The total number of participants was 661, of which 247 were physical therapists and 414 were nurses recruited from all over Pakistan. The pain was measured through the VAS and disability was measured by ODI. The Physical therapists felt mild pain in about 123(49.79%), and they faced no disability in about 127(51.41%)  and nurses felt moderate pain in about 212(51.20%) and they have not faced disability in about 306(73.91%). Conclusions: Our study concluded the prevalence of low back pain is found in both nurses and physical therapists but the level of pain is higher in nurses as compared to a physical therapist due to the lack of ergonomics knowledge among the nurse population. 
腰背痛的部位在第 12 根肋骨之间,较少向臀部皱褶放射或不向下肢放射。在巴基斯坦,腰背痛的发病率约为 41.4%。但在全世界,物理治疗师的工作相关肌肉骨骼问题发病率约为 57%。目标:确定腰背痛的属性确定巴基斯坦理疗师和护士腰背痛的属性。方法:对巴基斯坦的物理治疗师和护士进行横断面研究:于 2023 年 8 月至 2024 年 1 月在巴基斯坦全国范围内开展了一项横断面研究。样本量为 661 人,分为两组。抽样技术为非概率目的性抽样。使用视觉模拟量表和 Oswestry 残疾指数量表两种测量工具来排除疼痛和残疾程度。数据通过 SPSS 23.0 版软件进行分析。结果参与调查的总人数为 661 人,其中 247 人为物理治疗师,414 人为护士,他们来自巴基斯坦全国各地。疼痛通过 VAS 测量,残疾通过 ODI 测量。物理治疗师中约有 123 人(49.79%)感到轻度疼痛,约有 127 人(51.41%)没有致残;护士中约有 212 人(51.20%)感到中度疼痛,约有 306 人(73.91%)没有致残。结论我们的研究得出结论,护士和理疗师都有腰背痛,但护士的疼痛程度高于理疗师,原因是护士人群缺乏人体工程学知识。

Healthcare sector play key role for the wellbeing of overall society. This tiring job of providing efficient and effective healthcare services has severe consequences on the health and personal life of healthcare workers. Previously, studies have emphasized on the wellbeing of the healthcare workers, however, students of medical profession were ignored even they go through the burden while learning the theoretical courses and practical exposure in hospitals. The pressure of theoretical classes and rotational trainings in the hospitals causes stress and ultimately influence their wellbeing. Objective: To investigates the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being (Life satisfaction and Happiness) of the medical students through mediation of perceived stress. Methods: Self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 350 MBBS and BSN students of Allama Iqbal Medical College through convenient sampling. Consent of the respondents, privacy and other ethical requirements were fulfilled. Finally, 201 (MBBS; 103, BSN; 98) medical students from Allama Iqbal Medical College responded the questionnaire. SPSS version 21.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: The results revealed that there exists positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and medical student’s well-being (Life satisfaction and Happiness). Further, perceived stress significantly mediates the relationship of emotional intelligence and wellbeing. Conclusions: This study results found that emotional intelligence and medical student’s well-being (Life satisfaction and Happiness) have positive and significant association. 
医疗保健部门对整个社会的福祉起着关键作用。提供高效和有效的医疗保健服务这项繁重的工作对医护人员的健康和个人生活造成了严重影响。以往的研究强调了医护人员的福祉,然而,医学专业的学生却被忽视了,即使他们在医院学习理论课程和接触实践时也承受着巨大的负担。医院理论课和轮转培训的压力会给医护人员带来压力,最终影响他们的身心健康。研究目的通过感知压力的中介作用,研究医学生的情商与心理健康(生活满意度和幸福感)之间的关系。方法通过方便抽样,向阿拉玛-伊克巴尔医学院的 350 名 MBBS 和 BSN 学生发放自制问卷。调查符合受访者的同意、隐私和其他伦理要求。最后,阿拉玛-伊克巴尔医学院的 201 名医科学生(MBBS:103 人,BSN:98 人)对问卷做出了答复。数据分析采用 SPSS 21.0 版。结果显示结果表明,情商与医学生的幸福感(生活满意度和幸福感)之间存在着显著的正相关关系。此外,感知到的压力在很大程度上调节了情商与幸福感之间的关系。结论本研究结果发现,情商与医学生的幸福感(生活满意度和幸福感)之间存在积极而重要的联系。

Nature has beautifully planned nocturnal hours during which neurobiological processes critical for the preservation of cognitive health and prevention of dementia take place. Irregular sleeping may interfere with the brain’s function of eliminating neurotoxic, and results in onset of neurodegeneration. Studies have revealed a surprising relationship between irregular sleeping and dementia.  Dementia is known to be major cause of disability and mortality worldwide. According to WHO, estimated 55 million  individual suffering with dementia globally and this number is expected to raise up to 140 million in 2050 [1]. A variety of neurodegenerative diseases comes under dementia, and they are all characterized by a loss of cognitive abilities including memory, language, problem-solving, and the capacity to carry out daily tasks. Alzheimer disease is the most common form and may contribute to 60–70% of all cases. It is due to accumulation of beta-amyloid.  Irregular sleeping has become a widespread problem that is silently draining millions of people's cognitive capacities and may even be the precursor to dementia. Findings have shown U-shaped relationship between sleep regularity and dementia risk. Very irregular and overly consistent sleep patterns, both are linked to a higher risk of dementia.  Previous studies have shown the association between irregular sleeping and dementia but does not prove that dementia is caused by irregular sleep. Future studies, including longer follow-up periods and inquiries into the underlying molecular mechanisms, are required to better understand the complicated link between sleep regularity and dementia. It would be helpful to conduct further intervention trials aimed at improving irregular sleep in individuals with highly variable sleep patterns in order to ascertain whether restoring regular sleep patterns actually enhances brain health.   Currently, there is no treatment available for any of the prevalent form of dementia, including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia. Individual with dementia can preserve the quality of life and well-being by engaging in physical activity and by maintaining the social connections that stimulate brain functioning. Some tips can be followed to improve sleep, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule or abstaining from caffeine and stimulating screen time 1-2 hours before bed or by consulting your doctor for assistance and to discuss your sleep issues, habits, and general health.  In summary, the connection between sleep disorders and dementia serves as a warning, drawing attention to a frequently overlooked aspect that may be essential to prevent a wave of subsequent cognitive deterioration. 
大自然精心安排了夜间时间,在这些时间里,神经生物学过程对保持认知健康和预防痴呆症至关重要。不规律的睡眠会干扰大脑清除神经毒素的功能,导致神经变性。研究发现,睡眠不规律与痴呆症之间有着惊人的关系。 众所周知,痴呆症是全球残疾和死亡的主要原因。据世界卫生组织估计,全球有 5 500 万人患有痴呆症,预计到 2050 年,这一数字将增至 1.4 亿[1]。痴呆症包括多种神经退行性疾病,其特征都是认知能力的丧失,包括记忆、语言、解决问题和完成日常任务的能力。阿尔茨海默病是最常见的一种,可能占所有病例的 60-70%。它是由于β-淀粉样蛋白的积累造成的。 睡眠不规律已成为一个普遍问题,正在悄无声息地消耗着数百万人的认知能力,甚至可能是痴呆症的前兆。研究结果表明,睡眠规律与痴呆症风险呈 "U "型关系。极不规律的睡眠模式和过于稳定的睡眠模式,都与痴呆症的高风险有关。 以往的研究表明睡眠不规律与痴呆症之间存在联系,但并不能证明痴呆症是由睡眠不规律引起的。为了更好地了解睡眠规律与痴呆症之间的复杂联系,未来的研究,包括更长的跟踪期和对潜在分子机制的调查,都是必要的。进一步开展干预试验,旨在改善睡眠模式极不稳定的人的睡眠不规律状况,以确定恢复规律的睡眠模式是否真的能增强大脑健康,这将很有帮助。 目前,还没有针对额颞叶痴呆症、阿尔茨海默病、血管性痴呆症和路易体痴呆症等痴呆症的治疗方法。痴呆症患者可以通过参加体育活动和保持社会联系来提高生活质量和幸福感,从而促进大脑功能。可以遵循一些改善睡眠的建议,如保持规律的睡眠时间,或在睡前 1-2 小时戒掉咖啡因和刺激性的屏幕时间,或向医生寻求帮助,讨论自己的睡眠问题、习惯和总体健康状况。 总之,睡眠障碍与痴呆症之间的联系是一个警示,它提醒人们注意一个经常被忽视的方面,这对于防止随后出现的认知功能衰退至关重要。

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the dengue virus. It has 4 different serotypes and is mainly spread by Aedes mosquitoes. The disease is a significant public health problem worldwide. Objective: Assess district health system preparedness for Dengue outbreaks, identify gaps, strengthen surveillance, and determine incidence post-preventive measures. Methods: The study was a mixed-method design, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A cross-sectional design was used to assess the incidence of dengue. Results: A total of 118 participants were selected for questionnaire-based interviews out of which 47.9% were male and 51.3% were females. The average age of the participants was 38.58 ± 9.63 with a minimum age of 24 years and minimum age of 55 years was observed. Overall 8.4% of the participants belonged to the Supervisor cadre, 5.9% were entomologists, 32.8% were CDC supervisors and 52.1% were clinical doctors. Most healthcare professionals find it easy to diagnose and report a case of dengue fever. Only 0.85% of the participants felt it very difficult to diagnose and report a dengue case, 45.76% felt somewhat easy and 44.07% felt very easy in reporting a dengue case. Some of the participants 9.32% neither felt it easy nor difficult to report dengue cases. Conclusions: Punjab, Pakistan's dengue surveillance system has improved but needs further enhancements in case detection, reporting, communication, and stakeholder collaboration. The province has established dengue monitoring units and implemented a comprehensive reporting system. 
登革热是由登革热病毒引起的蚊媒病毒感染。它有 4 种不同的血清型,主要由伊蚊传播。该疾病是全球范围内的一个重大公共卫生问题。目标评估地区卫生系统应对登革热爆发的准备情况,找出差距,加强监测,并确定发病后的预防措施。研究方法本研究采用混合方法设计,同时使用定性和定量方法。采用横断面设计评估登革热发病率。结果共挑选了 118 名参与者进行问卷调查,其中男性占 47.9%,女性占 51.3%。参与者的平均年龄为 38.58 ± 9.63 岁,最小年龄为 24 岁,最小年龄为 55 岁。总体而言,8.4%的参与者属于主管干部,5.9%为昆虫学家,32.8%为疾病预防控制中心主管,52.1%为临床医生。大多数医护人员认为登革热病例的诊断和报告很容易。只有 0.85%的参与者认为诊断和报告登革热病例非常困难,45.76%的参与者认为比较容易,44.07%的参与者认为非常容易。9.32% 的参与者认为报告登革热病例既不容易也不困难。结论巴基斯坦旁遮普省的登革热监测系统有所改善,但在病例检测、报告、沟通和利益相关者合作方面还需要进一步加强。该省已经建立了登革热监测单位,并实施了全面的报告制度。

Large number of patients suffers from urinary incontinence (UI) with COPD leading to urine leakage and affecting their quality of life. Objective: To determine the prevalence and association of UI among with the severity of COPD patients. Methods: The cross sectional study was conducted from February 2023 to June 2023 in Ghurki Teaching Trust Hospital, Shalimar Hospital and Gangaram Hospital. 230 male patients of age 45-65 years suffering with COPD were selected by using convenient sampling technique. The demographic data and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire- Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) were used collected. SPSS version 26.0 along with Chi-square was used for analysis with p-value <0.05. Results: The results showed that 36 (15.7%) suffering with mild COPD, 142 (61.7%) had moderate COPD and 52 (22.6%) had severe COPD in which 33 (14.3%) experience have no urine incontinency, 25 (10.9%) had urge Incontinence, 154 (67%) had stress Incontinence and 18 (7.8%) had mixed Incontinence. Additionally; moderate COPD had shown significant association with stress incontinency with Chi-square value of 188.58 and p-value =0.00 and with the leakage of urine on coughing/ sneezing, during any physical activity/ exercise and all the time with value of 143.37, p-value = 0.00. Conclusions: The study concluded that UI is highly prevalent in COPD patients as stress and urge incontinency is highly prevalent among moderate and severe patients respectively, associated with coughing/ sneezing and physical activity/ exercises. 
许多慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)患者都患有尿失禁(UI),导致漏尿并影响其生活质量。研究目的确定慢性阻塞性肺病患者尿失禁的发病率及其与严重程度的关系。方法这项横断面研究于 2023 年 2 月至 2023 年 6 月在 Ghurki 教学信托医院、Shalimar 医院和 Gangaram 医院进行。采用方便抽样技术,选取了 230 名年龄在 45-65 岁之间的慢性阻塞性肺病男性患者。收集了人口统计学数据和国际尿失禁咨询问卷-尿失禁简表(ICIQ-UI SF)。采用 SPSS 26.0 版和卡方进行分析,P 值小于 0.05。结果显示结果显示,36 人(15.7%)患有轻度慢性阻塞性肺病,142 人(61.7%)患有中度慢性阻塞性肺病,52 人(22.6%)患有重度慢性阻塞性肺病,其中 33 人(14.3%)无尿失禁,25 人(10.9%)有急迫性尿失禁,154 人(67%)有压力性尿失禁,18 人(7.8%)有混合性尿失禁。此外,中度慢性阻塞性肺病与压力性尿失禁有显著相关性(Chi-square 值为 188.58,P 值为 0.00),与咳嗽/打喷嚏时、任何体力活动/运动时和任何时候的漏尿有显著相关性(Chi-square 值为 143.37,P 值为 0.00)。结论研究得出结论,慢性阻塞性肺病患者尿失禁的发病率很高,因为压力性尿失禁和急迫性尿失禁分别在中度和重度患者中发病率很高,且与咳嗽/打喷嚏和体力活动/运动有关。
