Background: Quercetin, a natural polyphenol with demonstrated broad-spectrum antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, has been proposed as an adjuvant for early-stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Objective: To explore the possible therapeutic effect of quercetin in outpatients mild to moderate symptoms COVID-19. Methods: This was open-label randomized controlled clinical trial conducted at department medicine, King Edward Medical University, Lahore, PK....
Dengue is a mosquito-borne flaviviral serious febrile illness, most common in the tropical and subtropical regions including Pakistan. Vitamin D strong immunomodulator affecting both innate adaptive immune responses plays pivotal role pathogen-defense mechanisms. There has been considerable interest possible of vitamin dengue viral (DENV) infection. In present prospective cross-sectional study, we assessed association between serum deficiency (VDD) susceptibility towards severe fever (DF)...
Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM), a rare but fatal fungal infection, has recently emerged as serious complication after corticosteroids therapy in COVID-19 patients, predominantly diabetic and immunocompromised patients. The World Health Organization (WHO) current guidelines recommend administration hospitalized patients requiring supplementary oxygen or mechanical ventilation. Herein, we report case series of seven with COVID-19; three mild, moderate, one severe, from Lahore,...
Vitamin B12 is essential for neurological function, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency can lead to diverse health conditions, including megaloblastic anemia issues. Oral supplementation a standard treatment deficiency. The Sucrosomial
Objectives: Microalbuminuria (MA, albuminuria: 20–200 μg min-1) is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The relationship, usually assumed to reflect an increased blood pressure (BP) load on the heart and kidney. To evaluate this relation between MA LVH, mass index (LVMI) was deter-mined in stage 2 hypertensive patients LVH. Methods: Hundred cases of non diabetic hypertension visiting outdoor indoor Mayo Hospital Lahore were...
