Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a chronic inflammatory condition of the small intestine, is an important driver childhood malnutrition globally. Quantifying intestinal morphology in EED allows for exploration its association with functional and disease outcomes.
South Asia is an enigma for gastric cancer (GC) because it a low risk region with high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections. We evaluated the trend GC clinical presentation and factors in patients dyspeptic symptoms.The medical records patients, coded by international classification diseases (ICD-10-CM, 2015, Diagnosis Code C16.9) malignancies stomach diagnosed esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) histopathology, were studied.394 cases mean age 54±15 years, range 18 to 88,...
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cord compression is a safe effective procedure with good outcomes. However, worsening of myelopathy the most feared adverse event surgery. We report case 36-year-old male patient who presented an acute non-traumatic C5–6 disc herniation causing incomplete quadriparesis. He underwent uncomplicated ACDF at C5–6, after initial period improvement, he developed delayed onset anterior syndrome on day 3, without any discerning cause. have reviewed...
Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is a subclinical enteropathy prevalent in resource-limited settings, hypothesized to be consequence of chronic exposure environmental enteropathogens, resulting malnutrition, growth failure, neurocognitive delays, and oral vaccine failure. This study explored the duodenal colonic tissues children with EED, celiac disease, other enteropathies using quantitative mucosal morphometry, histopathologic scoring indices, machine learning-based image analysis...
The relationship between environmental factors and child health is not well understood in rural Pakistan. This study characterized the related to morbidity of acute respiratory infections (ARIs), diarrhea, growth using geographical information systems (GIS) technology. Anthropometric, address disease prevalence data were collected through SEEM (Study Environmental Enteropathy Malnutrition) Matiari, Publicly available map used compile coordinates healthcare facilities. A Pearson correlation...
To examine the effect of distance travelled for brain tumour surgery on patient outcomes in an LMIC.Data were collected as part Pakistan Brain Tumour Epidemiology Study (PBTES) patients who underwent 2019. Mapping software was used to calculate by each from their primary address hospital. This analysed correlation with (change KPS score, current status) and demographic variables.Of 2366 patients, median across country 104 km (IQR: 9.07 - 304). Only 970 (41%) had access surgical care within...
To provide information about brain tumour epidemiology in Pakistan and potential associated risk factors due to family, medical social characteristics.A retrospective cross-sectional nationwide study was designed by the Society of Neuro-oncology, include patients diagnosed with tumours retrospectively, from January 1, 2019- December 31, 2019. The intended involve data all age groups for cases, irrespective histopathology which would determine national prevalence incidence these tumours.A...
Background and aim Reoperation rate is defined as the percentage of patients returning to operating room (OR) within 30 days an initial craniotomy undergoing a repeat (redo) procedure. It key factor quality-of-care assessments has implications for outcomes, especially in oncological cases. Redo craniotomies are associated with improvement neurological status decreased mortality compared non-surgical interventions but higher costs risk complications. important gauge indications frequency redo...
Objective: To investigate waiting times for brain tumour surgery in Pakistan from a nationwide sample and highlight specific affected patient populations.
 Methods: A study was conducted as part of the Brain Tumour Epidemiology Study; data 32 high-volume neurosurgical centres were collected. The national included 2,750 patients. Time to calculated by difference dates recorded radiological diagnosis date first surgery. This further stratified according demographic factors,...
To quantify the frequency of craniopharyngiomas presenting to tertiary care neurosurgical centres, demographics and mortality rate, commonly practice.Our study was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis patients admitted at 32 centres between January 1, 2019, December 31, with brain tumour. Kruskal Wallis used determine normality; normally distributed variables were reported as means standard deviation, while median interquartile range for non-normally variables.Of 2750 tumours, 114...
This study aimed to compare the thickness of retinal layers patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in ever smokers never using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
We evaluated the difference in tChPV between AA and CAU MS patients.
Cryptorchidism may cause histological changes such as testicular atrophy or fibrosis, even carcinoma in situ of the testis malignancy. Early diagnosis can enable proper management, performing orchidectomy localized irradiation, which save life patient. The present study included a retrospective evaluation biopsies patients with cryptorchidism who underwent Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to evaluate prevalence testis. 20 history were stained H&E specimens. It was concluded that...
Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare subtype of multiple sclerosis. Advanced MRI metrics, such as magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and the total N-acetylaspartate concentration/total creatine concentration (tNAA/tCr) using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (
Over the past few decades, global healthcare community has achieved remarkable success in controlling many communicable diseases across various regions. However, non-communicable now constitute a significant portion of disease morbidity and mortality, particularly low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Among these, cancer, particular, is witnessing notable increase incidence LMICs. cancers, neurological tumours bear impact terms long-term disability, escalating costs comprehensive...
Background No scoring system is available to predict the extent of resection giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters. We developed a novel AKU Giant Pituitary Adenoma (AGPA) score and assessed predictive ability concerning GPAs. Methodology retrospectively collected data patients presenting with GPAs used our assess surgical these tumors. The Lundin-Pederson (ABC/2) method was calculate pre- post-resection tumor volume. relationship between AGPA...
Objective: To explore the differences in demographic, surgical, and prognostic characteristics between two genders patients with brain tumours Pakistan.
 Methods: This study was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of histopathological tumour diagnosis across 32 high-volume hospitals Pakistan. The period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019. There were no restrictions on inclusion apart time.
 Results: From 2750 enrolled study, 1605 (58.4%) male, 1142 (41.6%) female ....
