The most common complications included pin tract inflammation/ infection among (n=31;100%) patients and stiffness of knee joint among (n=19;61.29%) patients.
 
  Majority of the patients were males, aged 9-16 years. Road traffic accidents were the commonest cause of the fractures. The Ilizarov method of segmental bone transport was effective in treating the majority of infected non-unions.

  To determine the incidence of anatomical variants of sinonasal region and its correlation with symptoms of sinusitis.
 
  The study was conducted from January-June 2020 at Radiology Department of PNS Shifa Hospital, Karachi. The study involved 50 symptomatic subjects of sinusitis with age ranges from 18-60 years which were prepared for computed tomography of paranasal sinuses. The scans were reviewed for nasal-septum, turbinates, uncinate process, ethmoid air-cells along with other anatomical variants and were correlated with symptoms of sinusitis.
 
  Out of 50 subjects, 34 were males and 16 were females with mean age of 42.68±18.22 years. Most common anatomical variants observed were agger nasi cells (64%), deviated nasal septum (56%), and concha-bullosa (46%). Statistically significant correlation existed between bilateral agger nasi cells and nasal obstruction (p=0.017, ρ= -0.336).
 
  The anatomy of sinonasal region is highly complex. However, anatomical variants can disturb the sinus mucociliary drainage pathway resulting in patient suffering. Therefore, considering the variable anatomy of sinonasal region, CT-PNS is recommended for every subject in order to avoid surgical hazards.

  To find out the relationship of domestic violence with depression, anxiety and quality of life in married women in hospitals of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
 
  This co-relational study was conducted in Rawalpindi Institute of Health Sciences from January 2019 to December 2019. All the females' patients who were the victim of domestic violence were the population of the study. Consecutive non-probability sampling technique was used for selection of sampling from the target population. The inclusion criterion for this study was diagnosed case of domestic violence. DASS 21 (The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale) and Quality of life (WHO) scales were administered to 116 patients.
 
  The study's key results were that domestic abuse has positive relationship with depression, anxiety, and stress. It was also found that domestic abuse has a negative relationship with quality of life of those who have been subjected to domestic violence of this sort.
 
  It was concluded that domestic violence whether verbal, physical, emotional or sexual has strongly effects the mental health and quality of life of abused women.

  To investigate the effects of etibatide combined with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on blood perfusion and cardiac function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.
 
  This was a prospective, randomized, controlled study. From November 2015 to June 2019, 196 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency PCI admitted to Baoding First Central Hospital were enrolled. The 196 STEMI patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, STEMI patients were treated with emergency PCI + etibatide; while in the control group, only PCI was performed. Observation indexes included general data, myocardial perfusion and cardiac function indexes and major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
 
  There was no significant difference in general data between the two groups (
  > 0.05). The rate of ST-segment resolution (STR) in the experimental group was better than that in the control group (
  < 0.05). In myocardincy PCI could improve myocardial reperfusion and cardiac function in patients with acute STEMI without increasing the incidence of MACE.

  To assess trends of real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction test in Coronavirus infected Patients.
 
  This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Tertiary Care Institute, Rawalpindi from March 2020 to June 2020.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/4-hydroxytamoxifen-4-ht-afimoxifene.html  All patients confirmed COVID positive by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with recent travel history, close contact with known diagnosed patients and had symptoms of fever or upper respiratory tract with body aches. Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken and results generated within 48 hours. Positive PCR was admission criteria follow up was carried out at 7
  and 8
  day, with negative PCR were discharged. However, those who had persistent positive PCR on the 8th day were tested again on 11th and 12
  day. Those with persistent positive results beyond 12
  day were shifted to specialized quarantine centres.
 
  A total of three hundred and ninety-two patients with mild to moderate illness, PCR positive for COVID 19 were included study with age range 9 - 45 and mean 33.22±7.98 years. A total oiochemical assays.
  To assess the knowledge and confidence of junior doctors and non-specialists in examining and making a diagnosis of patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases.
 
  This was a Cross-sectional study of 121 doctors working in medical clinics at a tertiary hospital between October and December 2019. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Doctor's awareness regarding different MSK examination methods including gait, arms, leg, spine (GALS), pediatric gait, arms, leg, spine (pGALS) and regional examination of musculoskeletal system (REMS) was noted. Undergraduate teaching of these methods and use in their daily practice was surveyed.
 
  Majority of the doctors lacked awareness about different MSK examination techniques. Awareness about GALS, REMS and pGALS was 44.6%, 59.5% and 18.2% respectively. There was significant correlation of GALS/REMS awareness with the undergraduate teaching and doctor's clinical experience (p-value <0.05). Confidence level of doctors in diagnosing patients with adult MSK pathologies was 55%.
