Seven case-control papers involving eight studies from Caucasian and Asian populations were included. A significant increase in osteoarthritis susceptibility was found in recessive, homozygous and allele models. Stratified analysis on ethnicity suggested that the polymorphism with increased risk of OA only in Asians under allele model. Stratified analysis related to population-based studies indicated the increased risk of OA with polymorphism in recessive, homozygous, allele and dominant models.

This meta-analysis demonstrated that there may be a weak association of rs12901499 polymorphism and OA susceptibility. Due to the limited size of sample and given ethnic groups, more studies need to validate the result in future.

Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative disease of the synovial joints in the elderly population with hip osteoarthritis as the second most commonly affected joint. A multitude of conservative treatments is used for pain relief and functional improvement including acetaminophen, NSAID, intra-articular corticosteroid, and viscosupplementation (VS). Different preparations of VS based on different molecular weights are commercially available. No systematic review or meta-analysis regarding the use of intra-articular high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) injection for the hip joint was published before. Pexidartinib price This review analyzes the efficacy of intra-articular HMWHA for hip osteoarthritis.

PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library for randomized trials describing the efficacy of HMWHA for hip osteoarthritis was searched. The search terms were osteoarthritis, hip joint, outcomes, viscosupplementation, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid in different combinations. Standardized mean difference (SMer necessary to provide data regarding comparisons between HMWHA for hip osteoarthritis concerning clinicians' convenience, compliance, duration of relief, and cost-effectiveness.

Laparoscopy is considered to be a good diagnostic and surgical way to replace open surgeries in all surgical fields. As it is a least invasive method, with advantages for patients and all associated with medical care. There is a significant increase in the use of laparoscopic surgery in gynecology. This study was done to compare the frequency of operative complications of direct trocar access versus Veress needle insertion technique for initial peritoneal entry in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

This Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Lahore General Hospital, Lahore from 26-12-2019 to 25-6-2020. Four hundred consecutive patients were enrolled and divided randomly into two groups by blocked randomization. Direct trocar insertion (DTI) technique was used for initial peritoneal access in group A and Veress needle (VNI) was inserted first for peritoneal access in group B.

The mean age of the patients in DTI group was 35.76±8.38 years whereas that in VNI group was 35.85±8.38 years. In DTI group there were 8(4%) patients with extra-peritoneal insufflation and in VNI group there were 19(9.5%) patients with extra-peritoneal insufflation. There were 8(4%) patients in DTI group with Omental injury and VNI group there were 13(6.5%) patients with Omental injury. In DTI group there were 7(3.5%) patients with port-site infection compared to 15(7.5%) in VNI group.

According to findings the rate of complications observed with VNI, DTI can be a preferred procedure for gynecological surgeries.

Traumatic spinal cord injury is a debilitating condition that may cause long term disabilities with tremendous socioeconomic impact on affected individuals and their families. Secondary injuries can best prevent or minimized by appropriate pre hospital management and proper referral and transfer. This study was conducted to assess the clinical profile of traumatic spinal cord injuries and level of pre-hospital care provided to patients either at the site of injury or at other healthcare facilities.

This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad, from January 2012 to January 2017. All patients with suspected spinal injury were included in the study. Age, gender, mode of injuries and the pre-tertiary care provided were recorded.

Out of 4464 patients with suspected spinal cord injury, 3685 (82.5%) were male, 779 (17.4%) were female. Age ranged from 10-70 years. 1685 (37.8%) were diagnosed as having spinal injury. Cervical spine was the most common aflects almost non-existent emergency medical (rescue) services, deficient health care facilities.

There is a complete lack of proper transport and referral of trauma patients in our area which reflects almost non-existent emergency medical (rescue) services, deficient health care facilities.

The permanent maxillary lateral incisor (PMLI) shows morphological variations, in the form of different crown shapes such as peg-shaped, cone-shaped, barrel-shaped and canine-shaped. The frequency of developmentally malformed permanent maxillary lateral incisors varies among different populations. The aim of this study was to document the frequency of different shapes of developmentally malformed permanent maxillary lateral incisors in patients visiting the three teaching dental hospitals of Peshawar.

It was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Oral Diagnosis department of Peshawar Dental College, Sardar Begum Dental College, and Khyber College of Dentistry from 1st Sep 2018 to 15th June 2019. A total of 82 subjects were included that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Shape of the malformed PMLI was determined using Computer-aided design/Computer-aided manufacturing software. Descriptive statistics including frequencies and percentages for observed developmental malformation and their types were computed and Chi-square test was applied to see the relation between various shapes and their occurrence with respect to site and position within the jaws.
