Introduction Urinary lithiasis is usually managed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Patients are examined using non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) in order to evaluate the feasibility of ESWL, according to where the stone is located and how big is its size. The objective of this study is to determine the outcomes of ESWL in patients having high-density renal stone, evaluated using NCCT.

- The study aimed to determine if cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can help reduce latrophobia (fear of medical professionals) and manage white coat hypertension in adults.
- The research was conducted over a year with participants randomly assigned to either a therapy or control group, where the therapy group received 20 sessions and showed improvements in their fear levels and significant reductions in blood pressure.
- Results indicated that a majority of those undergoing therapy reported decreased fear and a notable drop in their systolic blood pressure, suggesting CBT's effectiveness in addressing this specific phobia.
Article Synopsis
- Objective of the study was to evaluate how new teaching methods impact the understanding of respiratory physiology among undergrad medical students.
- A comparative study was conducted at Bahria University Medical & Dental College with two groups: one using traditional methods (Group A) and the other employing interactive approaches like problem-based learning (Group B).
- Results showed that Group B had a significantly better understanding (84%) of respiratory physiology compared to Group A (42%), indicating that interactive teaching methods enhance learning and student satisfaction.
Objectives: To evaluate the possible synergistic interaction of collagen-adenosine diphosphate and collagen-epinephrine in aggregation of human platelets.
Methods: An experimental study was carried out at Armed Forces Instiute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from June 2001 to December 2002. The platelet aggregation was determined by means of turbidometric method, which measures changes in optical density of platelet suspension.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare lipid and lipoprotein (a) profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) on insulin and oral hypoglycemic therapy.
Methods: The study took place in the Department of Physiology, Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, during 2002. Ninety-seven type 2 DM patients participated in the study.
Background: Efficient hemostasis in human body depends on a complicated series of events which actively involve blood platelets. Platelets exhibit diverse responses in a variety of agonists. In vivo, most of the agonists act in synergism, causing aggregation of platelets.
