The descriptive case series study was conducted at Hope Rehabilitation Centre, Lahore, from March 1 to September 30, 2013, and comprised patients aged > 18 years with symptomatic plantar fasciitis who were treated with silicone heel pad. All patients were assessed at one month and six months for pain relief measured on % Maximum Total Pain Relief and Pain Intensity Difference percentage scales. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Out of 100 patients, 37(37%) were male and 63(63%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 44.25±12.75 years. Five (5%) patients were lost to follow-up during the study, while 7(7%) patients changed their initial treatment because they did not experience relief. Silicone heel pad reported a better outcome measure associated with the patient\'s heel pain as 74(84.09%) patients resolved their condition or reached a tolerance level and showed preferab...

Post-operative bilateral lower extremity colour duplex scan was performed on 55 patients subjected to total knew arthroplasty. The scan was performed 7 days after surgery for detection of DVT. All patients were given Enoxaparin 40mg subcutaneous daily for 2 weeks as prophylaxis against DVT. Two patients were diagnosed as DVT by color duplex scanning and both were distal but only one was asymptomatic. Another patient developed pulmonary embolism and died subsequently. The major and minor wound problems were seen in two and six patients respectively; nearly all complications were seen in obese patients. DVT is not a nonexistent entity in our population. Low molecular weight heparins are safe drugs but apparently the bleeding complications are more as compared to Western literature. Larger case control studies are required to determine...

The authors report two patients with acute mesenteric, portal and inferior vena cava venous thrombosis confirmed on CT imaging. The diagnoses were established within 24 hours of presentation and both patients were successfully treated with therapeutic heparin during hospital admission and continued on oral warfarin because of hypercoagulable state. The protocol that we currently use is evidence based and is leading to optimal outcome.

MR volumes often suffer from biasfield artifacts produceddue to unsteady magneticfield and spatial variationsin reception of the RF magnetic eld emitted by the subject. To cope with these artifacts, we propose a method based on the grey-weighted distance transform (GWDT). It first computes

This study was meant to compare the effect of band ligation and sclerotherapy on development of fundal varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy. Patients with esophageal varices presenting in the endoscopy unit of Shiakh Zayed Hospital, with at least one previous endoscopy were included. Patient's past record was reviewed for findings and type of treatment given for varices during first endoscopy, number of endoscopies till date, number of esophageal varices band ligation (EVBL) or sclerotherapy sessions. All patients underwent upper GI endoscopy and findings were recorded. Type of treatment patient rendered during first endoscopy either EVBL or sclerotherapy was correlated to the presence of fundal varices and severity of portal hypertensive gastropathy observed on present endoscopy, using Chi square test (chi2). Eighty one pat...

$Research paper thumbnail of Functional outcome, mortality and in-hospital complications of operative treatment in elderly patients with hip fractures in the developing world$

Many of these survivors fail to regain their prefracture functional status. No work in this regard has been done in the developing world. Elderly patients with acute intertrochanteric fracture and fracture of the femoral neck were followed up prospectively for 12 months after surgery to record the mortality, morbidity, functional status and complications. Three hundred and forty-five patients (61% female) were assessed at six and 12 months after surgery, which included 62.9% intertrochanteric fractures and 37% femoral neck fractures. The mechanism of injury was from a fall in 67% of the cases. Nineteen patients died within six months after surgery while another eight died during the next six months. Obesity, male gender, multiple comorbidities and below normal ambulation status before fracture were identified as major determinants of bad functional outcome.
