    Abstract: Aim: To compare the control of blood pressure after oral alpha methyldopa versus oral labetalol for management of gestational hypertension. Study design: prospective, comparative, observational study. Place & duration: The study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Central Park Teaching hospital, Lahore for six months i.e. 1st May 2018 to 31st October 2018. Methodology: Total 150 females were included in the study from OPD after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then females were randomly divided in two groups by using lottery method. In group A, females were given labetalol orally 100mg 2 times a day for 7 days. In group B, females were given 250mg methyldopa 3 times a day for 7 days. The females were followed-up in OPD after 8 days. After 8 days, females were evaluated for systolic blood pressure (SBP) & diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Results: In this study we compared labetalol with methyldopa for management of gestational hypertension. SBP (Labetalol: 123.41±7.42 vs. Methyldopa: 126.62±7.33, p-value=0.009) as well as DBP (Labetalol: 77.18±4.39 vs. Methyldopa: 79.64±5.9, p-value=0.005) were better controlled in patients received labetalol than alpha methyldopa. Conclusion: Labetalol is better than methyldopa in lowering blood pressure (systolic & diastolic) in women for management of gestational hypertension. Keywords: Management, gestational Hypertension, Systolic, Diastolic, Blood pressure, Alpha methyldopa

    Abstract: Objective: To determine the impact of shisha and cigarette smoking on lungs functions and compare the pulmonary function test parameters between shisha, cigarette smokers and non-smokers.Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Aziz Fatima Medical and Dental College Faisalabad from January to September 2018. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Ethical committee. This study consisted of 100 male college students of age 18 to 25 years. Participants were enrolled on voluntary basis. Prior to study, students of Faisalabad based colleges were invited for study. A detailed interview of subjects was taken. Subjects were questioned regarding the smoking habits using pre designed proforma. Subjects who currently smoked cigarettes were classified as cigarette smokers. Subjects using shisha were categorized as shisha smokers. A third category was formed which included subjects using both shisha and cigarettes, subjects without any type of smoking were non-smokers Anthropometric measurements including height and weight were taken and BMI was calculated by formula weight in kg/ height in m2. Pulmonary function tests including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC were performed by digital spirometer. Data was analyzed by SPSS22. Values of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were presented as mean ± SD and compared by ANOVA. P value ? 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Study comprised 100 participants of mean age 20.71±1.87 years. Out of the total study participants 16(16%) were cigarette smokers, 11(10.3%) were shisha smokers, 22(20.7%) were users of both cigarettes as well as shisha and 51(48,1%) were non-smokers. All three parameters of lung functions including FVC (p value = 0.005), FEV1 (p value = 0.046) and FEV1/FVC (p value = 0.023) were lower in cigarette smokers and significantly different from non-smokers. All three lung parameters of shisha smokers were also lower than non-smokers but statistical difference was found only in FVC values (p value = 0.000). FEV1 (2.73 versus 1.5, p value= 0.66) and FEV1/FVC (63 versus 50.5, p value= 0.449) was higher in shisha smokers as compared to cigarette smokers but the difference was statistically not significant. FVC value of shisha smokers was lower than cigarette smokers (2.42 versus 2.89) but no significant difference was noted (p value =0.59). Conclusion: Lung function parameters FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, were reduced in cigarette and shisha smokers as compared to non-smokers. Shisha and cigarette both adversely affect lung functions, however shisha is less harmful than cigarette smoking.

    Abstract: Ants of the genus Cardiocondyla are considered omnivorous in nature. This genus is native to Afrotropical, Australasia, Indomalaya, Malagasy, Oceania, and Palearctic regions. A total of 72 valid species and 2 valid subspecies has been described worldwide. However, little is known about these ants in Pakistan. As a result of a survey of different sites in the Gatwala park of district Faisalabad during 2018, we collected individuals of the genus Cardiocondyla. Collected specimens were identified using the most recent and available literature. Prior to current work, only two species of this genus were reported for Pakistan. In this study we added the first record of Cardiocondyla obscurior for Pakistan, followed by a brief description, distribution, and identification key.

    Abstract: Abstract. Majeed W, Khawaja M, Rana N. 2021. Assessing fluctuation of ant populations in a distinct ecological habitat for the purpose of tracking climate change effects. Biodiversitas 22: 2722-2727. Ants are the most promising group of terrestrial invertebrates, playing an important role in soil fertility by unclearing the vegetation surface of soil. This study focused on the composition and structure of ants' communities in two different sampling stations: Domestic and Wild areas. Ants fauna were collected over a period of six months using an inline-fixing technique combined with pitfall traps and hand sampling. A total of 30 ant species were collected, belonging to 15 genera in four subfamilies: Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Dolichoderinae, and Dorylinae. The maximum population was recorded in the Wild area due to dense forest vegetation present at this station. The most abundantly found species in the Domestic area was Lasius niger, while Formica spp. species was most common in the Wild area. Diversity (H) and Margalef Richness indices were recorded higher for the Wild habitat, while Evenness was found higher in the Domestic. Statistical analysis showed that the abundance and species Richness were highly significant for both habitats (p 〈 0.001). Ant populations showed significant variation with temperature and humidity; for example, an increase in temperature and low humidity favored the abundance of ants. Being the first such study in this region, the results add significantly to understanding this terrain’s ecology

    Abstract: It has been reported that AFB1 is related to renal adverse effects, specially with Uncertain cause chronic kidney disease. It is a phrase that has been employed to refer to CKD that is not caused by any well-known risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, or HIV. Across the world, reports of CKDu are becoming more frequent, and in several areas in Central America, eastern Europe, and south Asia, they are reaching epidemic levels. In the first epidemiological investigation, which was conducted in 2007 and sought to uncover potential risk factors of CKDu, it was claimed that the disease was caused by the environment (1). Environmental factors that have been researched as potential causes of CKDu include heavy metal exposure, high seasonal temperatures, pesticide use, mycotoxins, polluted water resources, and snake bites. In order to comprehend and avoid CKDu, it may be useful to highlight common risk factors across various international settings and populations as the underlying aetiologies in most locations have not been adequately defined. 30% and 21%, respectively, of ESRD patients have diabetes and hypertension; however, younger individuals in underdeveloped nations are more likely to have glomerulonephritis and CKD with an unknown aetiology. As a result, the goal of this research was to follow the theoretical research on AFB1 and its part in the aetiology of chronic renal disease, which is yet unknown.

    Abstract: Background: Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate among all types of cancer worldwide. There is strong evidence that delay in presentation to an oncologist may lead to a decrease in survival. Aims: This study explores factors causing diagnostic and treatment delays among the breast cancer patients enrolled in Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, from 2016 to 2018. Methods: Data from 372 patients were collected, including tumour characteristics, first symptoms, knowledge and experience of breast cancer, first visit to a doctor, etc. We calculated the patient, physician, treatment, system and total delay intervals. Results: Breast cancer cases showed longer mean patient delay in older women ( 〉 50 years) in comparison with younger women. Women with painless lump as the initial symptom showed the longest delay with median total delay 280 days (25th and 75th percentiles 140 and 410 days respectively). Initial symptoms were correlated with total delay (P = 0.036). Educated women showed shorter delay in treatment compared with illiterate women (P = 0.068). Rural residence showed significant delay (P = 0.007). Lump size showed correlation with delay (P = 0.039). Patients with low household income ( 〈 Rs 10 000) had greater delay in diagnosis (P = 0.027) and actively employed women showed shorter delay (P 〈 0.0001). Unmarried women were diagnosed earlier than married (P 〈 0.001). Conclusions: Women showed delay in presentation due to lack of resources and lack of awareness about the disease. They presented late due to fear of surgery and chemotherapy. Using traditional treatment methods leads to diagnosis of the disease at more advanced stages.

    Abstract: Since 2003, the world's developing countries are home to more than 5 billion people thought to be at danger of prolonged consumption of contaminated foods that are aflatoxic according to a number of study efforts conducted in South Africa, Egypt, and other countries in west and east Africa. Additionally, the presence occurrence of aflatoxins and their byproducts in animal tissues used to make food (such as beef and sheep meat) may contaminate human diets. As a result of their increasing prevalence, aflatoxins have recently been identified as a significant public health concern.Aflatoxins are dangerous second-generation byproducts of Aspergillus species. Due to their chemical makeup, the majority of aflatoxins are highly liposoluble substances that can be absorption from the exposed site, such as the gastro-intestinal and respiratory tracts, into the bloodstream, where they can then spread throughout the body and reach various organs, including the liver and kidneys. The primary goals of the study were to monitor and screen for levels of aflatoxin B1 in the Karbala Province using a case-control study. The connection between Aflatoxin B1 concentrations and the common biochemical indicators of liver function as well investigated. How alter liver function by Aflatoxin B1. The study also emphasised the necessity to determine the pathophysiology of AFB1's involvement in the rising number of patients with liver dysfunction. AFB1 levels were quantitated using utilising thin layer chromatography, together with High Pressure liquid chromatography being employed for the quantitative identification (HPLC). In the province of Karbala, an analysis of case-control studies was done to look at the Aflatoxin B1 affects (AFB1) exposure on kidney disease patients. AFB1 levels were quantitated using utilising thin layer chromatography with high-performance liquid chromatography to provide quality results. The evaluations of the samples that tested positive for AFB1 as well as the lipid profile and indicators of liver function tests. The findings indicated that the population under investigation had afflatoxins exposure. AFB1 was found in 100% of individuals with unknown kidney disease (KD) and in 24%, 20%, and 100% of patients with known CKD, respectively. AFB1 concentrations in serum samples ranged from 0.68 to 8.33 ng/mL for patients with questionable KD, 1.21 to For patients, 5.60 ng/mL with known KD, likewise, healthy controls ranged from 0.11 to 1.30 ng/mL. The presence of AFB1 was positively and strongly linked with liver enzymes, specifically ALT and ALP. AFB1 levels among serum samples from KD sufferers and wholesome controls showed a prolonged contact with the poison, suggesting an unknown cause. The evaluation of the biochemical marker of liver functioning supported the effect of AFB1 exposure. This work may help build effective nationwide programmes for tracking AFs exposure. The study also emphasised the necessity to determine the pathophysiology of AFB1's involvement in the rising number of patients with liver dysfunction. Future research is urged to concentrate on more comprehensive topics that cover the entire nation (Iraq).
