O b j e c t i v e s : To demonstrate the usefulness of Bronchoscopy as a diagnostic tool in various pulmonary disorders. D e s i g n :Prospective study. Setting: Nawaz Medicare Hospital Faisalabad. Period: June 2004 to December 2007. Materials & M e t h o d s : This studywas conducted on 52 patients, 37 were male & 15 were female. Their ages ranged from 26 to 85 years. These patients who under wentBronchoscopy were either suspected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma or had difficult to treat un-resolving pneumonias. Endobronchialbiopsies and bronchial aspirates were obtained. R e s u l t s : In the patients suspected of bronchogenic tumor 66.67% patients turned out tobe positive on endobronchial biopsies. Bronchial aspirates were diagnostic in 73.32% cases of un-resolving pneumonias. The commonestsymptoms in patients under going Bronchoscopy were haemoptysis and cough. C o n c l u s i o n : Bronchoscopy is very useful in the diagnosisof suspected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma. Bronchial aspirates are helpful in the diagnosis of un-resolving pneumonias.

Objectives: To determine the effect of LASIK on tear film stability. Study Design:Cross sectional, prospective study. Setting: The study was conducted in D. G. Laser Vision andDiagnostic Center, D.G. Khan, South Punjab, Pakistan. Period: From March 2016 to September2016. Materials and Methods: One hundred patients (two hundred eyes) were selected forthis study. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Categorical variables presented asfrequency and percentages and numerical variables presented as mean ± standard deviation.Results: It is observed that values of tear break up time, Schimer I and Schimer II were decreasingat one week and one month post LASIK as compare to one week pre LASIK values. Mean tearbreak up time at one week of pre LASIK was 14.72 ± 1.08 seconds (P=0.000), at one week postLASIK was 13.64 ± 1.507 seconds (P=0.000) and at one month post LASIK was 13.02 ± 1.695seconds (P=0.000). Conclusion: Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) significantly changestear film stability and tear secretions for at least one month post operatively.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the role of hyperbilirubinemia as a new diagnostic tool for predictor of gangrenous / perforated appendicitis. Methods: Hospital based prospective study was conducted on 100 patients with perforated/gangrenous appendix Results: In acute appendicitis case out of 84 cases 26 cases bilirubin level was more than 1mg/dl, in gangrenous appendicitis out of 3 cases all cases bilirubin level was more than 1mg/dl and in perforated appendicitis out of 13 cases 12 cases bilirubin level was more than 1mg/dl Conclusion: It is concluded from present study that elevated total serum bilirubin without elevation of liver enzymes is a good indicator of appendicular perforation. Keywords: Perforation, Appendicitis, Bilirubin

Objective: To compare the maternal and neonatal complications after instrumental deliveries.Design: Prospective study. Setting: At MH Rawalpindi. Period: Six months from April 15, 2006 to October 14, 2006.Results: Total 96 instrumental deliveries were carried out; of which 46 were ventouse and 50 were forceps deliveries.58% of forceps deliveries were carried out in nulliparous and 42% in mulitparous patients as compared to 61% ofventouse deliveries in nulliparous and 39% in multiparous patients. Fetal distress was indication in 68% of forcepsdeliveries and 61% ventouse deliveries. Prolong second stage (>1 hr) was the second commonest indication i.e., in18% of forceps deliveries and 13% of ventouse deliveries. Success rate was 90% in ventouse and 97% in forcepsdeliveries. Extension of episiotomy was more likely to occur with ventouse deliveries and third degree perineal tearoccurred more with forceps deliveries. 14 babies were admitted to NICU and 90% of them were due to meconiumstaining. There was only one intrapartum death in the ventouse delivery group and that was due to intrapartumasphyxia. Conclusion: Forceps are more likely to be used in primigravidas and less likely to fail. Most commonindication of instrumental deliveries is fetal distress followed by prolonged second stage. Cephalhaematoma andjaundice are more common in ventouse deliveries. Extension of episiotomy and low apgar score at one minute is morelikely to occur with ventouse deliveries where as third degree perineal tear and subconjuctival haemorrhage are morelikely to occur in forceps deliveries

Objective: to chart the use of alcohol and tobacco during pregnancy. Design: prospective study. Setting: outpatient clinic at a major hospital in Oslo at the time of 17th week ultrasound examination and the maternity ward at the time of delivery. Subjects: representative sample of pregnant women in the Oslo area. Main outcome measures: interview at 17th week of pregnancy, questionnaire at time of birth, biological markers for tobacco and alcohol. Results: Alcohol consumption decreased significantly, mainly among women with low levels of consumption. Use of tobacco showed a relatively stable tendency during pregnancy.
