Medical error reporting is essential in creating a culture of accountability in our healthcare system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of reporting errors by surgeons in our setup and to analyse the factors resulting in under-reporting of medical errors. A total of 96 practicing surgeons at Mayo Hospital, Lahore were surveyed between the months of February, 2018 to June 2018 on their beliefs regarding the reporting of medical errors by means of a specifically designed questionnaire.

Immunohistochemical expression and correlation of mammaglobin with the grading system of breast carcinoma.
Indian J Pathol Microbiol
February 2011
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate mammaglobin expression as a potential marker for breast cancer detection and its relationship with the Bloom-Richardson grading system.
- During the study from May 2007 to May 2008, tissue samples were collected from 50 breast cancer patients, and results showed that 84% exhibited positive mammaglobin staining, which varied by tumor type.
- Despite the high expression of mammaglobin in cancerous tissue compared to normal tissue, its levels did not correlate with histological and nuclear grades, suggesting it could be a valuable diagnostic tool for breast cancer.
Objective: To determine the role of lymph node biopsy in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy and to find out the pattern of different diseases in relation to age, gender, and the site of lymph nodes involved.
Methods: This retrospective study was carried out at the Histopathology Department of the Children's Hospital and The Institute of Child Health, Lahore, Pakistan, over a period of 9 years, from January 1999 to December 2007.
