Objectives: To determine the role of r-irisin in attenuating nicotine-induced oxidative stress by estimating serum oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes in BALB/c mice.
Method: This 18 month experimental study was carried out at Foundation University Islamabad and National Institute of Health starting in 2020. Thirty healthy BALB/c mice were divided into three groups.
Background And Objectives: The Valsalva maneuver (VM) is the most effective measure that can be carried out to treat supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Our objective was to compare the efficacy of postural modified VM with 20 ml syringe to standard VM for the emergency treatment of SVT.
Methods: This randomized control trial study was conducted at the Accident and Emergency Department, Pakistan ordinance factories hospital, Wah Cantt from July 2019 to September 2020.
Objectives: Our study aims to assess knowledge and understanding of FM among doctors employed at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan with a focus on its diagnostic criteria, treatment modalities, and general knowledge of symptoms.
Study Design: Cross-sectional Study.

Objective: To determine the protective role of irisin in attenuating nicotine-induced oxidative stress in vascular tissue in mice.
Study Design: Experimental study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Foundation University, Islamabad, Pakistan, from January 2019 to June 2020.
Background: Growing evidence suggests that continuous infusion of vancomycin (CIV) is superior to intermittent infusion of vancomycin (IIV) in neonates. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to transition from IIV to CIV with earlier and improved attainment of therapeutic vancomycin levels.
Methods: The Model for Improvement framework with Plan Do Study Act cycles was used.
