Of 460 interns from five Pakistani teaching hospitals surveyed, only 22% correctly identified the estimated number of new TB cases in Pakistan. The majority (96%) knew that droplet infection was usual mode transmission. Only 38% considered sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli as best test diagnosis pulmonary and 43.5% follow-up during treatment. recommended four-drug anti-TB regimen prescribed by 56.5% initiation phase two-drug combination continuation 52%. Most (82%) were unable to identify...

ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to investigate spatiotemporal prevalence bovine babesiosis in cattle population (n=376) District Layyah, South Punjab, Pakistan as affected by location, age, breed, gender and seasons. Blood samples were collected aseptically assessed for through microscopy PCR, automated analyzer hematological attributes. Overall results attained PCR showed a significantly (P≤0.05) lower 19.4% (n=72/376) compared 37.2% (n=140/276) microscopy. None studied from...

ABSTRACT Simple animal model systems such as Drosophila , Zebrafish, and C. Elegans have enabled numerous breakthroughs in understanding human health disease. Their conserved biological processes, ever-expanding established procedures for handling, amenability molecular genetic manipulation, addition to the minimal ethical concerns, made these models preferred choices several life science disciplines globally. Owing their cheap maintenance cost, adopting will help bridge research gap between...
