The pandemic infection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been rapidly increasing the number of patients afflicted with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since December 2019. It has been reported that the entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is unequivocally Angiotensin- Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2). However, it remains an...

The HRAS gene plays a crucial role in regulating essential cellular processes for life, and this gene's misregulation is linked to the development of various types of cancers. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) within the coding region of HRAS can cause detrimental mutations that disrupt wild-type protein function. In the curren...

Objective: To compare mean postoperative pain score and analgesia requirement in thyroid surgery with or without use of Ligasure. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of Surgical, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: one year March 2018 to March 2019. Material & Methods: All included patients were randomly allocated into two...

Background: Accumulation of seroma in axilla and under mastectomy flaps is a common side effect after axillary lymph nodes dissection in mastectomy, which requires repeated aspirations and prolonged stay of the drain causing discomfort to person. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of axillary exclusion technique versus no axillary exclusion...

Background: Thyroid is a highly vascular gland and hemostasis is a key limiting factor in morbidity and mortality in thyroid surgery. Hemostasis has always been a challenge and various techniques have been used. Vessel sealers like Ligasure are now gaining popularity. Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare thyroidectomy by Ligasure w...

Pakistan has more than 225 wetlands (0.78 Million hectares) area. Out of total 74% consist of freshwater and remaining consists of marine water. Pakistan has 19 Ramsar sites. Ichthyologist noted that 27,977fish species are present in whole world; more than 786 species of marine and 171 freshwater ichthyofauna reported in Pakistan. Head Khanki it is...

Introduction: Different body parts of domestic and wild animals are being used as ethnomedicine and food. It has been documented that almost 15 to 20 percent of the traditional medicines is based on animals. Honey is produced by Apis. Honey was used from 10,000 years ago. Beekeeping had been established and honey had been used as a food since 2400...

Introduction: Cirrhinus mrigala belongs to carps family Cyprinidae. It is commonly known as mori, nani or morakhi in Pakistan. Mrigal carp is consumed all around the globe because it has large benefits to health. Protein that is extracted from the flesh of fish is of high quality and easily digestible as compared to protein obtained from other anim...

Introduction: Sol is distributed throughout the subcontinent; occur in standing or sluggish water in swamps, canals, lakes and deep pools in rivers. Live in waters with aquatic submerged vegetation. Channa marulius is carnivorous fish. The main aim of the study is to assess the distribution of sol and interaction with human in Punjab. Materials an...

Drought is a major abiotic constraint limiting the chickpea yield up to a greater level in Pakistan. The yield level remain very low under prolong moisture deficit conditions. A set of 40 chickpea lines including some approved varieties were assessed for drought tolerance under glasshouse conditions. The crop was given an artificial drought stress...

The shoot and root behavior and flowering time of two chickpea genotypes (kabuli and desi types) was examined under well watered and moisture stress conditions in split drainpipes in 2006. The data on shoot and root fresh weight and dry weight and plant and soil moisture percentage were recorded at the late flowering stage. The observations on root...

In Pakistan more than 95% chickpea production comes from rainfed lands where drought is the major abiotic constraint. Chickpea screening for drought under natural environment is not usually reliable due to risk of uncertain rainfall. Studies for developing germ-plasm screening technique are more reliable under controlled environment. In present inv...

Congenital hypothyroidism affects 1/3000-4000 new-borns and it has been estimated that 10-20% are fa-milial cases with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Previous studies of mostly individual cases have led to the identification of mutations in a number of genes, indicating that it is a genetically heterogeneous disease , but no major gene...

Congenital hypothyroidism affects 1/3000-4000 newborns. The causes of this group of disorders are still largely unknown. Although most cases are sporadic, some families have several affected children and/or con-sanguineous parents, suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance. Furthermore, there is a murine strain (hyt) with congenital hypothyroidism...
