Material and Methods: This is hospital based descriptive study conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology Chandka Medical College & Hospital Larkana. 50 eyes of 37 patients were selected from glaucoma clinic conducted once a week. After history and complete ocular examination the clinical diagnosis of failed trabeculectomy and high risk glaucoma was established. During the surgical procedure patients were divided into two groups (test group and control group). The twenty five eyes underwent trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C (MMC) 0.04% for duration of 3 minutes (test group), 25 eyes underwent primary trabeculectomy (control group). Followup period of 6 months was observed in both the groups. The span of study was from January 2006 to December 2007. Results: In this hospital based descriptive study 23 (62.16%) patients were male and 14 (37.83%) patients were female in both groups and mean age of patients in the test group 33.4 years and in control group were 24.4 years. Mean preoperative IOP in the test group was 34.6mmHg (range 20-62mmHg) while in the control group was 30.7mmHg (range 20-45mmHg) and mean postoperative IOP was 17.4 mmHg (range 10-36mmHg) in test group while in control group it was 21.3mmHg (range 11-46 mmHg). Mean IOP lowering was significantly greater in test group than that of control group. Also the number of patients taking adjunctive anti glaucoma medication to control IOP was greater in the control group than in the test group. Conclusion: Mean IOP lowering effect was statistically (P < .05) significantly greater in the test group with the use of MMC intraoperatively.

Today, kindergarteners are expected to study content that was previously reserved for first grade. For this research, Jamshoro is selected which is commonly known as 'Education City'. The results showed that there is high importance of proper physical activity area to be planned for kids in school. The results also revealed that poor outdoor spaces can lead to stress and anxiety. The implication of this study could be used by architects and designers for revising their plans of kindergarten schools.

It is generally observed that not all designers are fully aware of consequences of their design and only through post occupational survey; the designer usually realizes that what mistakes or bad decisions they have made during design process. Unfortunately, such unforeseen conditions are common in residential building projects in developing regions.

Research paper thumbnail of Issues and Opportunities for the Construction Industry in the Advent of Information Technology: A Technological Perspective

The review also explores themes about the reasons of fragmentation of the construction industry and the opportunities for defragmentation. This study also identifies the potential of IT’s contribution in improving the design and construction processes, with particular reference to assess its potential for similar usage in Pakistan. The literature studied covers a number of disciplines related to this study i.e. from theorists in history, business studies, information technology, construction industry, economics, town and country planning and architecture, which are discussed in a systematic analysis of cross-disciplinary themes.
