Hepatitis C and B were the most frequent infections, followed by syphilis in the sample. To give painless and stable fingertips to patients by means of vertical figure-of-eight tension sutures. The longitudinal study was carried out from May to October 2019 at the Dow University of Health Science, Civil Hospital, Karachi, and comprised individuals of either gender aged 10-60 years. All patients were surgically managed and were assessed clinically and with radiological films for finger stability and fracture healing during 3-month follow-up. Data was collected using a proforma and was analysed using SPSS 21. Of the 74 patients, 58(78.4%) were males and 16(21.6%) were females. The overall mean age was 28.9±13.23 years. Of the total, 65(88%) were operated under local anaesthesia, while 9(12%) were given general anaesthesia. All 74(100%) patients on early visits had pain and discomfort, 5(6.8%) had infection and none had ischaemic insult. Using vertical figure-of-eight tension sutures was found to be a simple technique which helped in proper healing of distal phalanx fractures and a non-deformed fingertip. Using vertical figure-of-eight tension sutures was found to be a simple technique which helped in proper healing of distal phalanx fractures and a non-deformed fingertip. To calculate the incidence of post-transplant erythrocytosis, and to assess the response to treatment. The prospective study was conducted from April 2016 to April 2018 at the Department of Nephrology, Bahria International Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised patients undergoing renal transplantation who were evaluated and followed up for 12 months. Patients having haemoglobin levels ≥17gm/dl were labelled as having polycythemia. Data was analysed using SPSS 21. Of the 94 total patients, 69(73.4%) were enrolled. During follow-up, 2(2.9%) of them died, and, thus, the final sample stood at 67(71.3%); 57 (85%) males and 10(15%) females. The mean age of the sample was 32.6±8.8 years. Overall, 19(28.4%) patients developed polycythemia and they were either given angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers. Of these 19 patients, 11(57.8 %) responded to the treatment, while 8(42.1%) required phlebotomy. Further, 3(15.7%) patients required one phlebotomy, while 5(26.3%) who had glomerular filtration rate >30% had to have repeated phlebotomy. The incidence of post-transplant erythrocytosis was significantly high at 28.4%. The incidence of post-transplant erythrocytosis was significantly high at 28.4%. To determine outcome of first relapse of Hodgkin lymphoma with standard dose chemotherapy, and to identify the prognostic factors predicting survival outcome in paediatric patients. The retrospective study was conducted at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised data of Hodgkin lymphoma patients who relapsed at least 3 months after the completion of initial treatment from January 2001 to December 2010. Probabilities of overall survival, event-free survival and cumulative incidence were calculated. Data was analysed using SPSS 21. Of the 43 patients, 31(72%) were males and 12(29%) were females. Mean age at relapse was 11±3.3 years (range 4-17 years). selleck kinase inhibitor In 31(72%) patients, early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy was employed. Median follow-up of the cohort was 62 months (interquartile range 4-187 months). Overall survival and event-free survival at 10 years was 23(54%) and 15(35%) respectively. On univariate analysis, initial disease stage (p=0.021), stage at relapse (p=0.003), treatment protocol (p=0.005), treatment responsiveness at initial two cycles of salvage chemotherapy (p=0.002) and at the end of treatment assessment (p=0.0009) were statistically significant factors. Multivariate cox regression analysis revealed dise
