- Chronic hypertension (CHTN) in pregnant women can lead to serious complications for both mothers and their babies, and this study aims to understand these outcomes and effective management strategies.
- A retrospective analysis of 50 pregnant women with CHTN showed a significant percentage developing preeclampsia and experiencing other maternal (like placental abruption) and neonatal (such as preterm birth) complications.
- Management of CHTN primarily involved the use of labetalol and methyldopa, highlighting the importance of following treatment guidelines to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes, while calling for further research to optimize care.

- Trichilemmal cysts (TCs) are benign skin cysts that can occur in the scrotum but are quite rare, with this being the first reported case in Pakistan.
- A 60-year-old male presented with a right-sided scrotal swelling that was initially misdiagnosed as a hernia, but multiple TCs were ultimately identified and removed during surgery.
- Surgical excision is necessary for infected or large cysts, and the case highlights effective techniques for scrotoplasty, resulting in patient comfort and aesthetic improvement post-surgery.
