BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures are widely used for diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Analgesia and sedation/anesthesia are inseparable parts of these studies and their related complications are inevitable. METHODS In a retrograde descriptive study in Shahid Beheshti Hospital, affiliated to Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom, Iran from March 2013 to March 2017, we gathered information regarding common anesthesia related complications and analyzed them. RESULTS 44659 procedures were performed during the study period and records of 21342 men (47.79%) and 23317 women (52.21%) were evaluated. Hemodynamic instability (9998; 22.39%), dysrhythmia (1600; 3.58%), desaturation (608; 1.36%), prolonged apnea (34; 0.08%), aspiration (43; 0.10%), postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (636; 1.42%), headache (106; 0.24%), delirium (51; 0.11%), aphasia (1; 0.00%), masseter muscle spasm (1; 0.01%), myocardial infarction (2; 0.00%), and death (5; 0.01%) were seen in the patients. CONCLUSION Sedation/anesthesia is enough safe in gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures to enhance the patients’ satisfaction and cooperation. If anesthesia with spontaneous breathing and unsecure airway is selected for this purpose, vigilance of anesthesia provider will be the key element of uneventful and safe procedure.

Objectives: To determine the outcome of newborns, admitted with different stages of HIE in Neonatal Unit, Services Hospital, Lahore. Study design: Descriptive Study. Place and duration of study: Neonatology Section, Pediatrics Department, Services Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS) / Services Hospital, Lahore. Over a period of Six months, from 1st August 2005 to 31st January 2006. Material & methods: A total of 170 newborns having Apgar score less than 7 were included in the study. Babies with any congenital anomaly were excluded. Results: 80% were males. 17.64% had weight less than 1.5 Kg, 37.06% weight between 1.5 Kg to 2.5 Kg and 45.29% had weight more than 2.5 Kg. 90.5% of our babies were delivered in Services Hospital, Lahore. 77.64% babies were full term. Babies were divided into three groups; Group-I had Apgar score 0-3, Group-II between 4 & 5 and Group-III had Apgar score 6-7. In Group-I, 65% babies died, whereas 100% had any one of the complications, in Group-II, there were 22% deaths and no baby died from Group-III. Conclusions: Despite advanced technology, a high number of babies have HIE and its complications. It is better to prevent babies from HIE, because once HIE occur, you cannot save babies completely from its complications.

Objectives: Attached gingiva is important for maintaining periodontium in a healthy state. The present study tries to find the normal values of width of attached gingiva in a periodontally healthy Indian population. Material and Methods: The width of attached gingiva was measured with a periodontal probe in periodontally healthy patients attending the periodontics department. Descriptive statistical analysis was done to get the mean, which will represent the normal values of width of attached gingiva for the population. Results: Female patients had a greater width than males and the 20 to 30 year old group had the greatest width of attached gingiva. The mean values of attached gingiva varied in different areas of the mouth with greatest width in maxillary central incisors and least in mandibular molars. Conclusion: Width of attached gingiva varies with age, gender and in different areas of the mouth.

Two patients were of Meniere’s disease and rest 16 were of SNHL, 08 were of SNHL and BPPV combined. The rest of the cases were of mixed hearing loss and other central hearing loss causes will have be ruled out.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The main aim of study is to study clinicopathological aspects in patients with vertigo. We also studied incidence of SNHL in our study. It has been established by this study that hypertension is one the major causes of vertigo in patients whereas VEMP has not proven to be very beneficial in our study to see peripheral vertigo patients. Most of the patients with BPPV also had a normal cVEMP which showed that it was not a very reliable instrument in BPPV.</p>

Aims and Objectives: To nd out all the outcomes in neonates born to mother with premature membrane rupture (PROM or PPROM) of >18 hrs duration. This descriptive study was conducted in Department of P Methods: ediatrics, at Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala over a period of 18 months. Total 58 neonates born to mother with PROM of more than 18 hours were evaluated in this study. Perinatal Results: morbidity was seen in 50% of cases. Neonatal jaundice was the commonest cause for perinatal morbidity noticed in 37.93% of cases followed by respiratory distress/TTN, Thrombocytopenia, CRP positive sepsis, Birth asphyxia, Apnoea, RDS and Culture positive sepsis (27.58%, 18.96%, 18.96%, 10.34%, 10.34%, 8.62% and 8.62% respectively). Perinatal mortality observed was 1.72% (1 out of 58). As the period of gestation increases the duration of latency period decreases and incidence of perinatal morbidities also decreases. Pregnancies complica Conclusion: ted by PROM are signicantly at higher risk of developing perinatal morbidities and mortality. These morbidities are greatly inuenced by the duration of the latency period and period of gestation.

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly discovered ribonucleic acid coronavirus isolated and identied from patients with unexplained pneumonia. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the disease as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Hence the investigator was interested to explore the emotions and experience of the covid care nurses during covid 19 pandemic. This would identify to manage the factors causing the emotions and make better arrangements for good experience among these nurses. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was done with 54 Covid care nurses available during the data collection period by using selfadministered questionnaire in Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences Results: The nding highlights that most of the nurses(43%) were on frequent duties in the covid wards than covid intensive care unit. 70% were not positive to Covid-19 and majority (80%) had covid vaccination. Many (69%) of their family/friends were not infected by Covid-19 and most of them (72%) had not witnessed death of a covid patient. Majority (74%) of covid care nurses did not have emotion of fear but had anxiety (70%) for can't eat/drink and can't use toilet. The results show that nearly half of the covid care nurses overcame fear (46%) and anxiety (45%) emotions because of condence at work & support from coworkers (39%), family and friend's support (37%) and faith in God (24%).

Objectives: To know the prevalence and predisposing risk factors of HBVand HCV in patients undergoing ocular surgery. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting:Department of Ophthalmology Khyber Medical University Institute of Medical Sciences / K.D.ATeaching Hospital Kohat. Period: January 2015 to December 2016. Materials and Methods: Alladmitted patients in eye ward for surgery. Informed consent was taken from patients. Detailedhistory including surgical, medical treatment, blood transfusion and other relevant was taken. Allthose patients who were not previously diagnosed as HBV and HCV positive were included in thestudy. ICT method was used for screening. Those who were positive with ICT were confirmed byEliza test. Eliza negative patients were excluded. During these two years total 2547 patients withmean age of 63.4 years were admitted in eye ward. Results: By ICT method 43(1.68%) patientswere HBC positive in which 24(55.81%) were male and19(44.18%) were female. 121(4.75%)patients were HCV positive, out of them 44(36.36%) were male and 77(63.63%) were female.All positive patients were confirmed by ELIZA test. Regarding predisposing risk factors. in HBVpositive, 13(30.23%) patients had history of major surgical procedure, 9(20.93%) patients haddental extraction, 6(13.95%) had blood transfusion, 6(13. 95%) had quackery injection with nondisposable syringes, 2(4.65%) patients had routine face and armpit shave in barber shops andno significant history in 7(16.27%) patients. In HCV positive, 29(23.96%) patients had history ofmajor surgical procedure, 22(18.18%) patients had blood transfusion, 18(14.87%) patients haddental extraction, 16 (13.22%) patients had history of injection by quack using non disposablesyringe, 13(10.74%)had routine face and armpit shave in barber shops and 23(19.00%) patientshad no significant history. Conclusion: HBV and HCV are common among community. HCV ismore prevalent as compared to HBV. Every patient should be screened before surgery.
