Background: Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is essential for optimizing patient care, treatment adjustments, and medical decision-making, particularly in post-Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients, but limited data exists on HRQOL post-MI from Pakistan. This study aimed to assess HRQoL and its determinants in the Pakistani population.
Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.
Background/objectives: This study examined the association between adherence to the Mediterranean dietary approaches to stop hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, its components, and recurrent depressive symptoms (DepSs).
Methods: The analyses included 4824 participants (73% men, mean age = 61; SD = 5.9) from the British Whitehall II cohort study.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of muscle energy technique (MET) combined with conventional physical therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, comparing it to conventional therapy alone.
- - Conducted over 11 months, the trial involved two treatment groups receiving three weekly sessions, assessing pain and function through various scales, with significant statistical analysis used to determine results.
- - Findings indicated that while both treatment approaches improved knee pain and function, the MET combined with conventional therapy resulted in more significant improvements in knee pain, range of motion, and functional limitations.
