Vestibular activity participation measure Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) used. mean age 36.70±11.58 years. There a significant (p=0.05) difference...

To determine the role of icaAD and agr genes in biofilm formation evaluate consistency two phenotypic methods for measurement.A total 81 clinical S. aureus strains were included analyzed by methods. The microtitration plate method was optimized using computational fluid dynamics compared with Congo red assay. detected PCR.Of isolates, production 43% isolates while microtiter assay showed 92% isolates. Both correlation 30% PCR detection gene 42 (52%) Out 65 (80%) contained 16 (20%)...

Objective: To study the prevalence of inducible clindamycin along with vancomycin and methicillin resistance assessment hyper variable region (HVR) mecA gene among different clinical isolates Staphylococcus spp.
 Methods: A total 176 Staphylococci were collected from Pakistan Institute Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad during 2014-2015. The sample sources pus, blood, urine, sputum, tracheal secretions tissue fluids. Bacterial identification was done by colony morphology biochemical...

Staphylococcus aureus is a notorious Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, opportunistic bacterium that causes variety of infections including bacteremia, endocarditis, pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections, several others. Also, the overuse misuse drugs attributed to crises multidrug resistance especially in MRSA. Objective: Therefore, aim this study was determine prevalence rate MRSA, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles S. aureus, MSSA isolates commonly used antibiotics, its resistant...

Background: Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe form of stroke characterized by bleeding within the brain parenchyma, posing high risks mortality and disability. Accurate rapid diagnosis crucial for effective management. This study aimed to evaluate detection diagnostic accuracy computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in acute ICH. Objective: assess imaging. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional was conducted from February 2023 June at Rehman Medical Institute...

Background: Hepatitis is a liver inflammation, most often caused by viral infection. Among these viruses, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) infections account for large proportion of diseases around the world. HBV HCV are main etiological factors chronic disease, which include hepatocyte carcinoma cirrhosis. Objectives: This study aimed to determine Frequency in adult patients visiting Dental Out Patient Department at Mardan Medical Complex, Mardan. Method: cross-sectional survey was...

Background: Mupirocin is an antibacterial drug and it used for topical application either alone or along with other antiseptics, in areas where ever infections colonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are found. Enhanced use mupirocin ointment these days local has led to the rise data its resistance. Many carriers patients treated inappropriately due lack sensitivity testing improper reporting development different levels resistance strains. Due next level treatment...

Background: The rapid emergence of carbapenemase producing healthcare-associated Proteus spp. causing Urinary tract infections (UTI) is a matter great concern. current study was carried out to determine the prevalence Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs), plasmidic Ampicillinases (pAmpC) and carbapenemases in multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates, collected from UTI specimens Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Pakistan. Methods materials: A total 150 isolates patients were collected,...

Abstract Biofilms are complex surface associated communities where bacterial cells enclosed by self-produced extra cellular polymeric substances (EPS), mainly consisting of exopolysaccharides, proteins and extracellular DNA. Treatment biofilm persistent infections is an emerging issue for clinicians as adhere with human epithelial or indwelling medical devices such implants catheters, used in urinary tract respiratory infections. Several methods practice to assess the formation strains. Most...

Background: The aim of this study was to the prevalence biofilm formation in MRSA and its effect on virulence antimicrobial resistance pattern strains from different clinical samples.Methods: A total 221 isolates S. aureus were selected various specimens. Prevalence estimated according age, sex, location. antibiotic susceptibility test conducted guidelines CLSI by VITEK 2 automated system. 113 identified as cefoxitin disc methods which then subjected Microtiter plate assay method confirm...

Background: Transgenders, male to female, are exceptionally predominant in India-Pakistan, dreaded be alarming for sexually transmitted diseases. The objective of this study was determine the frequency diseases and their associated risk factors among transgenders.
 Methodology: This cross-sectional conducted amongst transgenders at Institute Paramedical Sciences (IPMS), Khyber Medical University Peshawar from January July,2021. About two ml venous blood collected a gel tube under...

Introduction: In haemodialysis patients, mortality from cardiovascular disease is much greater than in the general population. The current study aimed to evaluate effects of two different types heparin, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) and high heparin (HMWH), on lipid profile patients undergoing haemodialysis.Material & Methods: A total 60 were selected main hospitals Lahore, Pakistan divided into major groups based type used. 5 ml blood sample was taken dialysis machine get serum...
