Methods: This review was carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using different databases and publishers such as Scopus, Sage, ScienceDirect, PubMed, BMJ, Wiley Online Library, Wolters Kluwer OVID-SP, and Google Scholar. The literature review was based on monkeypox and mental health. The year of publication was 2021-2023, during the monkeypox disease period. Data were extracted from opinions, editorials, empirical studies, and surveys. Results: Based on the literature related to the mental status of patients with monkeypox, the following themes and subthemes were identified: anxiety and depression, self-harm and suicidal tendencies, neuropsychiatric symptoms, mental health, social stigma, sex workers, vaccination, and stress-related diseases. Conclusion: A review of monkeypox virus infection studies reveals that 25%-50% of patients experience anxiety and depression due to isolation, boredom, and loneliness. Factors such as infected people, a lack of competence among healthcare professionals, and shame over physical symptoms exacerbate mental insults. The implications of society include increased self-harm, suicide, low productivity, fear of stigmatization, and transmission of infection.

Among them thirty normal pregnant women were taken as control. Twenty-seven were preeclamptic and twenty seven eclamptic women. There was significant (P < 0.01) reduction in platelet count of preeclamptic and highly significant (P < 0.001) in eclamptic women as compared to controls. It is concluded that there is need to do platelet count in all pregnancy induced hypertensive women, which can be an earlier detector for HELLP syndrome.

The data shows that in Pakistan the severity has increased, 2665 new cases and 59 deaths have been reported in 1 Pakistan as of November 22, 2020. Positive infectivity rate in Pakistan is 7.46% (Official website, Government of Pakistan, 2020). The confirmed diagnoses of COVID 19 depend on molecular testing i.e. polymerase chain reaction (PCR of RNA virus). The limited infrastructure created a backlog of testing in developing countries.

The prevalence of tuberculosis in Pakistan is reported to be 270/100,000 population 1. Pakistan is graded 5 th among 22 countries of the Eastern-Mediterranean territory. Prevalence of TB Multi drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis has emerged as a tenaciousperil, with 490,000 million cases registered in 2016 and around 110,000 cases that were sensitive to the anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid but resistant to rifampicin, which is the most efficacious1stline anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT) available in current era. Death due to MTB is graded above HIV infection in 2016 surveys 2. Multiple factors are responsible for spread of tuberculosis. It is due to penurious social, economic and political circumstances, absence of primary health facilities in many areas, malnourishment,

Material and Methods: Total of 83 subjects was divided into three groups. Of the 83 participants, 31 had active tuberculosis, while 31 were adult family members who lived with and looked after the patients. 21 healthy age matched individuals were chosen to form the control group. SWISS Max analyzer was used to evaluate the levels of lymphocytes and monocytes in the blood and Vitamin D was measured by ELISA. Results: Vitamin D levels and monocyte lymphocyte count in the three groups showed substantial variation. The patient's monocyte and lymphocyte count showed a statistically significant correlation. However there was non-significant correlation of vitamin D with both monocyte and lymphocyte. Conclusion: Caretakers of active tuberculosis patients showed increased levels of circulating monocytes, lymphocytes as well as lower vitamin D levels with increased risk of developing tuberculosis.

This study aimed to compare the context, input, process, and output of the first-year MBBS curriculum in the COVID-19 era (2019–20) and during the para-COVID-19 pandemic (2020–21) using online and hybrid teaching models. Methods A mixed-method study was conducted at Shalamar Medical and Dental College, Lahore, from April 2022 to April 2023. A committee consisting of medical educationists, administrators, and the first-year chairperson analyzed the curriculum. A questionnaire survey was administered, and focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with first-year students from the 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 batches, which were recorded. Various educational resources, including recorded lectures, guidebooks, planners, and question papers, were also analyzed. Additionally, admission merit, module assessments, and professional examination result...

It is one of the leading causes of death among adults due to a single infectious agent. Pakistan is fifth among the twenty two Eastern Mediterranean Region countries with the highest burden of disease which is approximately 270 per 100,000. The emergence of drug resistant MTB poses a serious threat to the ongoing efforts to control the disease epidemic. Drug resistance to the first line drugs such as Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF) needs to be investigated. In this respect the role of various genes conferring resistance should be studied to find better treatment alternatives. The current practice of drug sensitivity testing requiring approximately three weeks is time consuming and a major cause of treatment delay. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to sequence the mutations in katG gene which contribute towards INH resistance and to study association of katG gene with INH resistance in MTB. Me...

To address this deficit, a private medical college instituted curricular reforms with inclusion of a longitudinal communication skills program. A pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of this program by comparing the consultation skills of medical students of this college with a medical college without a communication skills program. Methods: A 4-station Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was conducted in the third and final year. Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the difference in the distribution between OSCE stations total and construct scores. Results: At the end of the third year, 21 (31.34%), students of the study site (medical college 1 [college with integrated longitudinal communication skills program]) and 31 (46.26%) students from the comparison site (medical college 2 [comparable college without communication skills program]) consented. Medical college 1 achieved a significantly higher overall mean total station score of 68.0% (standard deviation [SD] =13.5) versus 57.2% (SD = 15.4) (P < 0.001). Significantly higher mean scores were achieved on three stations. At the end of the final year, 19 students (29.3%) from medical college 1 and 22 (34%) students from medical college 2 consented. The difference in overall mean total station score reduced from 9.2% to 7.1% (70.2) (SD = 13.7) versus 63.1 (SD = 15.2) (P = 0.004). The mean scores of both colleges decreased in "Patient presenting with Hepatitis C Report" station (P values 0.004 and 0.775) and in "Patient Request for Faith Healing Therapy in Diabetes Mellitus" station (P values 0.0046 and 0.036), respectively. Conclusion: Longitudinal communication skills in an undergraduate curriculum positively impacted consultation skills. Community-based training and faculty development are required to develop effective patient-centered consultation skills.

Later it was discovered that these can be corrected by giving vitamin D. Researchers discovered that vitamin D can be synthesized by exposure to sun. Hence it was also named "the sunshine vitamin". As time passed it was observed that low levels of vitamin D were associated with multiple diseases. This sparked the interest of the scientific community to further the research on vitamin D which led to the studies that started associating vitamin D with various diseases like cancers (prostate, colon and breast), autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis), infectious diseases (tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV), cardiovascular diseases, mental illnesses (schizophrenia), diabetes mellitus (type 1, type 2 and gestational) and allergic conditions like asthma. With time, more studies were carried out r...
