Because of increased workload the weight of school bags is also increasing day by day. The weight of bags with heavy books can develop many spinal deformities in young children. Objective: To assess the postural changes happening in school going kids because of heavy backpacks. Method: It is a cross sectional study and was conducted on different schools in Lahore, within the time period of three months from 1st November 2019 to 1st February 2020. The sample size was 145 and the survey followed convenient sampling technique. Children per inclusion criteria were selected from different government schools to collect data and informed consent was taken before data collection. REEDCO scale was used to examine the postural disturbance. Results: Results showed head posture as 3.4% poor & 13.1% fair, neck posture as 6.2% poor & 16.6% fair, shoulder posture as 5.5% poor & 15.2% fair, upper back posture as 3.4% poor & 38.6% fair, trunk posture as 10.3% poor ...

It represents a massive risk group in reproductive terms due to the excessive burden of growth along with reproduction. Pregnancy at such a young age may lead to premature delivery, pre-eclampsia, and massive fetal deaths. These adverse outcomes are influenced by in adequate prenatal care, poor socioeconomic status, and weight gain during pregnancy. The prevalence rate of preeclampsia is twice as higher in teenagers than any other age group of women. Objective: To know the prevalence of pre-eclampsia in adolescent pregnancy and to find out the relationship of pre-eclampsia with age group, body mass index, and education of pregnant young girls. Methods: An observational (cross-sectional) study was conducted on 383 females selected through a nonprobability convenience sampling technique. The study was conducted at Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Teaching Hosp...

Prolapse maybe conceptualized as a type of herniation or bulge of the pelvic organs into or out of the vagina because of damage or weakness of connective tissues and muscles of pelvic floor area Objective: The objective was to determine the prevalence of uterus prolapse among pregnant females. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in pregnant females. Sample size of 189 was calculated. Standardized questionnaire was used for data collection Results: A bulge or protrusion falling out that you can see or feel in your vagina was moderately present in 5.3% (10) females. Heaviness in the pelvic area was felt by 6.9% (13) females. Along with prolapse there was weakness in pelvic floor muscles and ligaments so that the leakage of urine is present in 3.7% (7) females Conclusions: Uterus prolapse is mildly present in 8.5% and moderately present among 5.3% of pregnant females vary...

Each time your liver is harmed regardless of illness, excessive alcohol consumption, or another reason. Advanced cirrhosis is dangerous. The liver harm is done by cirrhosis generally can't be fixed. However, if liver cirrhosis is diagnosed early, and the reason is treated, further damage can be restricted and rarely switched. Liver fibrosis and its connected difficulties keep on representing an essential worldwide health care burden. Over the previous decade, there has been an impressive advancement in the apprehension of the cellular mechanisms and pathophysiology of primitive hepatic fibrosis. This is more noteworthy knowledge into the essential basic sciences that may prompt the advancement of novel treatment methodologies deliberated to obstruct fibro genie cascade or even upgrade matrix humiliation. Moreover, there have been notable benefits in the administration of cirrhosis complexities with different medications now accessible for some conditions. Perhaps most prominently, liver transplantation is currently exceptionally effective treatment for end-stage liver disease or infection and should be considered in all patients with chronic liver sickness. Cirrhosis is a diffuse operation described by fibrosis and transforming standard liver architecture into fundamentally abnormal nodules. Techniques have been set up to avoid complexities in patients with cirrhosis. The application of mitigating nonsteroidal medications should be avoided, and patients should keep an acceptable diet of 1 to 1.5g of protein per kg per day. Antibiotics should be conducted to prevent auxiliary diseases. A comprehensive assessment should be performed before patients with cirrhosis go through elective medical analysis. Alpha-fetoprotein testing and ultrasonography can be reasonable in evaluating for hepatocellular carcinoma. Whenever progressed cirrhosis is convenient, and transplantation isn't attainable, survival is somewhere between one and two years.

A large population of our country is facing diabetic ketoacidosis during their stay in the hospitals. There are many people who are facing challenges with the treatment of this common disease. The disease is easily managed by professionals nowadays. The management of this disease has been improved with a new era and new technologies. The national policies have been introduced which aid in the provision of the standard to the patients, expanding best services and decreasing the rate of deaths and disabilities in the patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. The management of diabetic ketoacidosis includes metabolic targets and leveling the electrolytes and decreasing the harmful effects of this complication.
