Evaluation of health-related quality of life of female students suffering from primary dysmenorrhea
Background Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a global public health problem affecting the quality of life of menstruating women. This study aimed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of female students experiencing PD. Methodology This cross-sectional study included 484 female students (aged 16–31 years) from different educational institutes in Sargodha, Pakistan from October 2021 to November 2022. Demographic and menstrual characteris…
Quantitative ethnobotanical study of wild plant resources of tehsil Utman Khel, District Bajaur, Pakistan
Background: Plants have historically played a vital role in traditional medicine worldwide. This study investigates the quantitative ethnobotanical knowledge of tehsil Utman Khel, District Bajaur, Pakistan. For the first time, it systematically documents the therapeutic and cultural uses of local flora, aiming to preserve this traditional knowledge and explore its potential for modern medicinal applications. Methods: The area's unique flora suppo…
Evolution of the Human Brain and the Myth of its Ten-Percent Use
The human brain is a complex organ that controls nearly every function of the human body. As science believes, humans evolved from apes but over time, humans achieved domain specification and maturation in the nervous system due to which they gained sensory, language, and other social cognition functions, called higher-level cognitive functions. Neurogenesis, or brain development, is an organized process that starts from the early weeks of pregna…
Use of antibiotics in poultry and poultry farmers- a cross-sectional survey in Pakistan
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which has been ascribed to be due to community carriage of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is highly prevalent in the WHO South-East Asia region. One of the major reasons for this is the misuse of antibiotics in animal farming practices and at the community level, which threatens both human and animal health. However, this problem of antibiotic misuse in poultry farms and in respective farmers is not well …
Evaluation of Penicillins minimum inhibitory concentration against clinically isolated Streptococcus pyogenes
Streptococcus specie is the crucial cause of pharyngitis and tonsillitis in human particularly in youngsters and is the main organisms transmitted from the milk to human. Streptococcus pyogenes cause diseases worldwide, thus increases huge burden to national health care systems. The current study was take on to determine antibiotic resistance pattern of S. pyogenes against penicillin group of antibiotics by disc diffusion method. Furthermore, min…
Antibacterial activity of Rhizopus specie isolated from rhizosphere of Mentha Piperita
Soil is loaded by microbes which are capable of producing antibiotics. These compounds were used therapeutically and sometimes prophylactically in the control of infectious disease. Soil microbes can be grouped into Bacteria, Actinomycetes, Fungi, Algae, Protozoa and Nematodes. Fungi are unique eukaryotes which ingest food from outside and take nutrients through its cell walls and consists of tiny tubular mycelia known as hyphae. The fungi are we…
Assessment of Factors Associated with Unfavorable Outcomes among Drug-Resistant TB Patients
The spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR TB) poses significant challenges to the control and successful eradication of TB globally. The current retrospective study was designed to evaluate the treatment outcomes and identify the risk factors associated with unsuccessful outcomes among DR TB patients. A total of 277/308 eligible DR TB patients were enrolled for treatment at the programmatic management unit of DR TB at the Pakistan Institute o…
Computer-Aided Multi-Epitope Vaccine Design against Enterobacter xiangfangensis
Antibiotic resistance is a global public health threat and is associated with high mortality due to antibiotics' inability to treat bacterial infections. Enterobacter xiangfangensis is an emerging antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogen from the Enterobacter genus and has the ability to acquire resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. Currently, there is no effective vaccine against Enterobacter species. In this study, a chimeric vaccine is des…
Ebb and Flow, Volume 1
Migration shapes the lives of those who move and transforms the geographies and economies of their points of departure and destinations alike. The water sector, and the availability of water itself, implicitly and explicitly shape migration flows. Ebb and Flow, Volume 1. Water, Migration, and Development presents new global evidence to advance our understanding of how fluctuations in water availability, as induced by rainfall shocks, influence in…
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Antibiotics and Its Resistance
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is an emerging global threat to public health. Substantial evidence has indicated that community pharmacists (CPs) can play a critical role in managing the ever-increasing threat of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of CPs ( n = 180) towards antibiotics and antibiotic resistance as well as to improve the rational use of antibiotics. A two-phase mixed-methods (qu…
Frequency and reasons for delayed treatment initiation after HIV diagnosis
Late commencement of HIV therapy in Pakistan is common, and an improved connection is needed between identification of HIV and beginning of therapy. HIV management centres should counsel and monitor patients from the time of a positive HIV test result until they initiate therapy
Health-related quality of life and its predictors among adults living with HIV/Aids and receiving antiretroviral therapy in Pakistan
The current findings have shown that PLWHA in Pakistan adherent to ART had a good overall HRQoL, though with significantly higher depression. Some of the factors identified are amenable to institution-based interventions while mitigating depression to enhance the HRQoL of PLWHA in Pakistan. The HRQoL determined in this study could be useful for future economic evaluation studies for ART and in designing future interventions
Prevalence and predictors of depression among hemodialysis patients
Depression was prevalent in the current study participants. Negative association observed between depression and hemodialysis therapy at NGO's running centers signifies patients' satisfaction and better depression management practices at these centers
