Objective: To find out the frequency of erectile dysfunction in patients who are on hemodialysis. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Urology and Kidney Transplantation, Allied Hospital/Faisalabad Medical University, Faisalabad. Period: November 2015 to May 2016. Material & Methods: Patients enrolled for study included indoor admitted patients, patients presenting in outdoor and patients being admitted in Department of Urology and Renal Transplantation, Allied Hospital/Faisalabad Medical University, Faisalabad for purpose of Arterio-Venous Fistula (AVF) surgery. ED assessed and graded using the questionnaire of International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Results: 60 patients enrolled and out of 60 cases, 27 (45%) were of age 25-35 years while 33 (55%) were between 36-45 years and mean+SD age was 36.15+5.47 years.  49 (81.67%) were having ED while 11 (18.33%) were not suffering from ED. Out of 49 patients having ED, results showed that 32 patients were having severe erectile dysfunction while 11 patients having moderate disease, 4 with mild to moderate disease and only 2 with mild ED. Conclusion: Based upon results, a conclusion has been made that the frequency of erectile dysfunction is significantly higher in patients of renal failure who are on hemodialysis. It is recommended that every patient undergoing hemodialysis should be sort out for erectile dysfunction.

 Objective: To determine how frequent NSAIDs are used for osteoarthritic patients because OA is common old age patients and NSAIDs can cause divesting complications on their health. In our study we tried to identify the main reasons and suggest a best possible solution. Study Design: Community Based Cross-sectional study. Setting: Mohammad Medical College and Hospital Mirpurkhas Pakistan. Period:  June 2018 to August 2018. Material & Methods: In this study, we included more than 300 prescriptions written for Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease. Prescriptions collected from hospital pharmacy (80%) and from other pharmacies (20%). Data was collected on preformed proforma and was analyzed in SPSS version 25. Results: Osteoarthritis mainly affects elderly population. NSAIDs are used for pain relief but can cause acute renal failure and GIT bleeding ulcers. In our study 69% patients were prescribed double NSAIDs. Traditional NSAIDs were used 95% of the time and only 5% percent of the time selective cox 2 were used. Along with these NSAIDS only 20% patient were given prophylactically gastroprotective agents like PPI and other medications. Conclusion: Prescription osteoarthritis include multiple NSAID without any protocol and over dosage was observed commonly.

Objectives: To assess the performance of Lady Health Workers (LHWs) in collection, storage & distribution of drugs andevaluate their effectiveness regarding TB suspect identification, referral, directly observing the intake of medicine, default identification andhealth education in TB-DOTS program. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: In district Toba Tek Singh. Period: From January to Sep2006. Materials & Methods: One hundred and Two LHWs were selected randomly and interviewed using a structured pre-tested questionnaire.Results: Among 102 LHWs, 76.5% were trained in TB-DOTS. Sixty four (62.7%) had qualification matric and above. Collection of the drugswas being performed properly by 87.3%, while 83.4% were storing the anti-TB drugs at proper places. Anti-TB drugs were being distributedto patients daily by 95.1%. Under the direct supervision of LHWs 69.6% of TB patients had completed treatment. In the areas of 58.8% LHWs,TB patients were declared cured after 8 months treatment. Defaulted TB cases were present, in the areas of 19.6% LHWs, while 12.8% of theLHWs had relapsed TB cases in their areas. Most of the LHWs (85.3%) had proper record of medicine and of the patients (84.3%). Conclusion:The experienced and TB-DOTS trained LHWs of urban areas, in the age group of 41-50 years had overall good performance. The LHWs havingqualification matric and above had better performance than the LHWs having middle qualification.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of failed spinal anesthesia in patientsundergoing caesarean section in a teaching hospital in Pakistan. Study Design: It was a cross– sectional study. Setting: Department of Anesthesia and Pain Management PAF HospitalSargodha. Period: January 2015 to May 2015. Methodology: A total of 293 pregnant patientsundergoing caesarean section under spinal anesthesia were included. After prehydration andessential monitoring, all patients were given spinal anesthesia with 25 G spinal needle at L3-L4 or L4-L5 level by 2nd year resident anesthesiologist under indirect supervision using 1.5 mlof hyperbaric spinal injection. Failure to achieve adequate block was managed by differentmodalities like sedation, analgesia with ketamine, repeat spinal anesthesia or to proceed withgeneral anesthesia. Results: Out of total of 293 patients, failed spinal occurred in 9 patients(3.07%). Out of these 9 patients, 02 patients (22.22%) were elective caesarean sections while07 cases (77.77%) were emergency caesarean sections. Conclusion: The chances of failedspinal anesthesia are more in emergency caesarean sections as compared to elective casesand failure rate of spinal anesthesia in PAF teaching hospital Sargodha is 3.07% which is slightlyhigher than 3%

Setting: Tertiary Care Sanatorium inMedicine Department of LIAQUAT University Hospital Hyderabad/Jamshoro. Period: 26-9-2011to 25 August 2012. Material & Methods: Total 144 non-responders cases of Hepatitis C wereintegrated. Both gender, age 18 to 50 yrs, chronic HCV non-responder cases as well as cases fitfor hepatic biopsy were integrated in study. Grading of Inflammation was carried out as indicatedby histopathological measures. Results: Mean age was 48.5 + 5.2years. Uppermost prevalenceof chronic HCV disease was 65(45.13%) at 41 to 50 years age interval whereas 42(29.1%) caseswere noticed in 31 to 40 yrs age group and 25(17.3%) cases were observed in 20 to 30 yearsof young age group. In this study hepatic steatosis occurrence was observed in 103 (71.5%)cases and these were categories as: grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, as (<33%) 45/103(43.68%), (33to 66%) 35/103(33.98%), (>66%) 23/103(22.33%) respectively. Conclusion: Hepatic steatosisis a important risk factor the cases of HCV to decreased response to antiviral therapy and forprogression toward fibrosis as observed in cases related to metabolic steatosis.

Objectives: To develop demi-span height predictive equations for older Mexican Americans. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Data files housed by the Sociomedical Division in the department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Participants: 1,078 (700 females, 378 males) Southwest U.S.A. community-dwelling older Mexican Americans, aged 80-102 years. Measurements: Demi-span, height, weight, BMI, demi-span equivalent height (DSEH), DSEH derived BMI (DS-BMI). Bland and Altman agreement analysis on: height and DSEH; BMI and DS-BMI. Paired t-test comparing derived and actual measures by single-age units and sex. Results: DSEH with Bassey equations (DSEHBassey) are significantly different than actual measures. DSEHBassey derived BMIs (DSBasseyBMIs) are significantly different than BMIs computed from actual measures. DSEH with Mexican equations (DSEHMexican) are not significantly different than real measures. DSEHMexican derived BMIs (DSMexicanBMIs) are not significantly different than real measures. Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that both DSEHBassey and DSBasseyBMIs estimates are significantly different from measured height and BMI. Both DSEHMexican and DSMexicanBMIs estimates are shown to produce similar height and BMI estimates to those obtained from real measures.
