Published: May 2024

Objective: To determine the prevalence and characterization of thrombocytopenia in neonates and the pattern of illnesses in these thrombocytopenic neonates.
Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 400 neonates in Pathology and Pediatric departments of Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan, from November 2022 to July 2023. Analysis of data was done by using SPSS 23.
Results: Out of 400 studied neonates, males made up 238 (59.5%), while females were 162 (40.5%). Thrombocytopenic neonates were 76(19%) while 324(81%) neonates had normal platelet count. Out of the 76 thrombocytopenic neonates, 42(10.5%) neonates had mild thrombocytopenia, 25(6.25%) had moderate thrombocytopenia and 9 (2.25%) had severe thrombocytopenia. Degree of thrombocytopenia revealed that 46 (11.5%) of neonates had thrombocytopenia in late onset phase while 30 (7.5%) had early onset thrombocytopenia. Correlation of thrombocytopenia with several disorders displayed that neonatal sepsis and anemia were significantly linked with thrombocytopenia, followed by birth asphyxia, neonatal birth in preterm and full-term neonates, low birth weight and Neonatal jaundice, furthermore, the p-value for bleeding in neonates allied with thrombocytopenia was found significant with value of 0.03.
Conclusion: The current study discovered that mild thrombocytopenia among neonates is frequent followed by moderate and severe. Thrombocytopenia has strong correlation with neonatal sepsis, anemia, birth asphyxia, neonatal birth (pre term, full term) and bleeding. Severe thrombocytopenia can be used as a prognostic indicator in sick neonates. Hence thrombocytopenia is a frequent challenge for neonatologists to cope the serious consequences of neonatal health.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To determine the frequency of loss of calretinin expression in clinically susceptible cases of Hirschprung disease in rectal biopsies.
Material and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Histopathology, Combined Military Hospital, Multan for a period of 6 months (17th Oct 2021 to 16th April 2022). A total 93 suspected cases of Hirschprung disease were taken. Specimens received in 10 % buffered formalin and fulfilling inclusion criteria were included in the study. The cases diagnosed as Hirschprung disease were taken and calretinin immunohistochemical stain was applied and result recorded after evaluation by consultant histopathologist. Data was analyzed using (Statistical Software for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19).
Results: Out of 93 cases, 67 (72.0%) were male patients, whereas 26 (28.0%) were female patients. The average age of the study participants was 7.95 months, with a minimum age of 1 month and a maximum age of 12 months. Twenty-eight (30.1%) of the 93 study cases were from rural areas, while 65 (69.9%) were from metropolitan areas. Twenty-five families (26.9%) reported monthly incomes of up to Rs. 35000, while 68 families (73.1%) reported incomes of over Rs. 35,000. Of these 93 study cases, failure to pass meconium was noted in 24 (25.8%) patients, constipation was noted in 75 (80.6%) and abdominal distension was noted in 62 (66.7%) patients. Loss of calretinin expression was noted in 34 (36.6%) of our study cases.
Conclusion: According to the findings of our investigation, calretinin is very helpful in identifying suspicious cases of Hirschsprung disease. When acetylcholinesterase enzyme histochemistry is not accessible, it can be a helpful, cost-effective diagnostic assistance in centers with limited resources. It is a reliable and efficient diagnostic tool for early diagnosis of the illness. Loss of Calretinin expression was significantly associated with age and residential status.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To assess the knowledge, practice and attitude about venipuncture amongst Nursing staff of a tertiary care hospital.
Material and Methods: This questionnaire-based survey was done at Rawal General and dental hospital, Islamabad, from January to April 2022. The Questionnaire was developed as per the CLSI H3-A6 and WHO‘s venipuncture guidelines. It was distributed to nursing staff by hand. Most were filled inside the classes in front of the teacher.
Results: The frequency of correct responses in the knowledge section varied from 4(4.6%) about the number of tube inversions to 79(90.8%) about wearing of gloves before taking a sample while 47(54%) selected the correct option of identifying a patient. Regarding the standard phlebotomy protocols, the response was quite low which was 26(29.9%), 18(20.7%) and 8(9.2%) about the correct angle of needle insertion, what to inspect of the supplies and the location of applying the tourniquet respectively. Recapping with two hands is still done by 13% and 79% still put the sample by holding tube in the other hand. In spite of all this 66% still think that one can learn venipuncture by practicing the techniques without going through a proper course.
Conclusion: Nursing staff in Rawal General and dental hospital is not fully aware about basic laboratory protocols and their importance. This unawareness can lead to generation of erroneous lab reports. Formal education, training with summative assessments should be a part of the curriculum of nursing courses followed by rigorous implementation monitoring.

Objetivo: Avaliar diferentes métodos de clareamento dental intracoronário com percarbonato de sódio ou perborato de sódio associado ao uso de água destilada (DW) ou peróxido de hidrogênio (HP), avaliando a resistência a fratura em dentes restaurados com resina composta (RC) ou cimento de ionômero de vidro (CIV). Materiais e métodos: Sessenta dentes bovinos extraídos foram divididos em quatro grupos experimentais e dois controles (n = 10) após o tratamento endodôntico. Após a obturação do canal radicular, uma barreira de ionômero de vidro foi realizada na junção cemento-esmalte. Depois disso, as câmaras pulpares foram preenchidas com: G1: restauração com RC; G2: restauração com CIV; G3: Perborato de sódio + DW + restauração com RC; G4: Perborato de sódio + HP + restauração com RC; G5: Percarbonato de sódio + DW + restauração com CIV; G6: Percarbonato de sódio + HP + restauração com CIV. Os agentes clareadores foram substituídos após 7 dias, e os dentes foram mantidos em saliva artificial por mais 7 dias, após os quais as pastas foram removidas e as cavidades de acesso coronário foram restauradas com ionômero de vidro. As coroas foram submetidas a carga de compressão a uma velocidade de cabeça cruzada de 0,5 mm/min posicionada a 135° ao eixo longo da raiz por uma máquina de teste EMIC até a fratura coronária. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste ANOVA e Tukey (p=0,05). Resultados: Não foram observadas diferenças na resistência à fratura entre os grupos experimentais (P>0,05). Conclusão: Aguardar sete dias para realizar a restauração final após o clareamento interno favorece a resistência a fratura do elemento dentário

Authors: Hameed Falah Mahmood , Kadhim Fateh , Al-Tomah Hayder Mohammed Mohsen , Altaee Raeed 
Published: May 2024

The Aim of Study: The current investigation was designed to compare the anesthetic and physiological effects of ketamine with different pre-anesthetics protocol.
Methods: A total of twelve healthy male rabbits were chosen for the clinical anesthetic trial. Animals were presented to the faculty of veterinary medicine at Kerbala University for skin wound procedures and separated into two equal groups 6 rabbits each (group A and group B). Rabbits in group A were administered an intramuscular injection of xylazine (10mg/kg BW) followed by ketamine (50 mg/kg I.M) after 10 minutes. while those in group B were injected with fentanyl (0.04 mg/kg BW, I.M) first plus ketamine (50 mg/kg I.M) after 10 minutes. The physiological and anesthetic parameters to assess the complications that associated with anesthetic, were recorded and analyzed.
Results: The level of induction and recovery varied significantly (P<0.05) among the groups. Compared to group B, group A had a considerably (P<0.05) shorter induction time. Furthermore, group A's mean time for losing pedal reflex revealed a substantial (P<0.05) decrease. Between-group differences in the responses to the pain test and muscular relaxation were statistically significant (P<0.05). Group A experienced a substantially longer (P<0.05) induction period, surgical anesthetic duration, and recovery period than group B. No rabbits died as a result of the anesthetic or the recuperation.
Conclusion: Compared to Fentanyl-ketamine (FK) combination anesthesia, administration of Xylazine with ketamine (XK) apparently does not influence the physiological parameters. Additionally, this method provides a very successful anesthetic procedure for a flawless induction, suitable muscle relaxation, extended anesthesia, and a painless recovery.

Published: May 2024

Background
Pregnancy in young girls negatively affects their health, their unborn and later-born child, and their social and psychological life. Effective use of Emergency Contraceptives (EC) significantly decreases abortion-related morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess knowledge and practices towards EC among female secondary school students in Geita Town Council in the Geita Region, Tanzania.
Materials and methods
This was a descriptive cross-section study design that used an interviewer-administered questionnaire to gather information from 384 participants who were advanced secondary school-level female students in Geita. Multistage sampling was used to select study participants. Data was analysed using Stata software version 14.0. Frequency was estimated for categorical variables and mean, and standard deviation were used to summarize continuous variables. The Chi-Square test was used to establish the relationship between knowledge of EC and independent variables such as demographic characteristics and practices on EC.
Results
The majority, 336 (87.5%) of study participants had never heard of EC, and 208 (61.9%) had adequate knowledge of EC. Pills were the most reported form of EC 266 (79.2%) while 231 (68.7%) mentioned the correct dose of EC pill. More than half 198 (58.9%) agreed that using EC lowers the risk of getting pregnant and only 99 (29.5%) knew the correct timing of taking EC. The school was reported to be the most source of information 135 (40.2%). Students aged 15-19 years have a higher proportion, 138 (66.3%) of adequate knowledge than those aged 19 years and above. Students in form five classes were more knowledgeable (51.4%) about EC compared to form six classes (48.6%). Students with mothers who have a primary level of education have a higher proportion of 82 (39.4%) of adequate knowledge compared to other categories. Respondents whose fathers have ordinary college/University levels of education have a higher proportion of adequate knowledge than others.
Conclusion
Female secondary school students in Geita have adequate knowledge of EC, but very few have ever used it. More education and information on EC are needed for female students and the general population.

Introduction
Mesothelioma is a rare and rapidly advancing tumor that usually emerges on the mesothelial surfaces of the pleura or peritoneum. Despite being a well-recognized rare disease for decades, the only approved primary treatment protocol has been platinum-based treatments plus pemetrexed, whether or not bevacizumab is administered. Immunotherapy-based immune checkpoint inhibitors demonstrated a promising antitumor efficacy in a variety of cancer types. This is a systematic review of the current role of durvalumab in the management of this condition.
Methods
A systematic search was carried out through the databases and search engines. Regardless of study design, line of therapy, mode of therapy, or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, studies that primarily focused on the outcomes of treating this disease with durvalumab were eligible for inclusion. After the initial and full-text screenings, five studies were reviewed.
Results
The median age of the total 235 patients was 66.9 years. Males comprised 174 (74.04%) of the cases, with 61 (25.95%) cases being female. The Epithelioid mesothelioma subtype accounted for 194 (82.55%) of the patients. Durvalumab, in combination with pemetrexed cisplatin/carboplatin as therapy, was used in 109 (48.38%) cases. Durvalumab and tremelimumab were used in the treatment of 40 (17.02%) cases, of which 17 (7.23%) had retreatment with both immunotherapies. Among the patients who underwent durvalumab treatment, 69 (29.36% ) of the individuals previously received carboplatin/pemetrexed and cisplatin/pemetrexed.
Conclusion
Durvalumab can be utilized as an effective alternative for malignant pleural mesothelioma treatment, providing positive results and acceptable safety profiles.
