Burnout in South Asian rheumatologists in the COVID-19 pandemic: an online survey.

Physician burnout is recognized as a global crisis and an epidemic. However, burnout in rheumatology is an understudied phenomenon. We explored the prevalence of physician burnout among rheumatologists from South Asia in the peri-pandemic period (2021-2022).

The prevalence of fibromyalgia among doctors in the tertiary care hospital: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is an umbrella term for chronic pain syndrome, associated with tenderness, fatigue, reduced pain thresholds, and paresthesia in the limbs. The field of medicine places doctors in constant work-related stress, sleep deprivation, and depression, thus increasing their vulnerability to developing FMS. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and severity of FM (fibromyalgia) among physicians in a tertiary care hospital setting.

Optimizing Deep Learning Model for Software Cost Estimation Using Hybrid Meta-Heuristic Algorithmic Approach.

Effective software cost estimation significantly contributes to decision-making. The rising trend of using nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms has been seen in software cost estimation problems. The constructive cost model (COCOMO) method is a well-known regression-based algorithmic technique for estimating software costs.

Comparison of efficacy three-site versus single-site steroid injections for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis.

Background: Frozen shoulder or adhesion capsulitis is a frequent ailment that causes pain and progressively restricts both active and passive shoulder motions. It is estimated that it affects 2%-5% of the general population and up to 20% of diabetes mellitus patients.We aimed to compare the effectiveness of three-site steroid injections against one-site injections in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis.

Not Another Case Of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Congenital Insensitivity To Pain Presenting With Joint Problems.

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare condition with protean manifestations. Occasionally, these diseases may present with musculoskeletal problems. Here we report a case of young child who presented with joint problems in our clinic.

Association Of Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha -308 G/A Promoter Polymorphism With Susceptibility And Disease Profile Of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphism underlying the auto-immune process governing the pathologic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis has been the focus of study for quite a while. TNF-alpha -308 G/A promoter polymorphism have been reported to be responsible for a number of manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted at the department of Rheumatology at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences Islamabad from 9th May to 9th August 2019 with a focus to determine the Association of tumour necrosis factor-alpha -308 G/A promoter polymorphism with susceptibility and disease profile of rheumatoid arthritis.

The Role of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Markers of Disease Activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic rheumatological condition affecting sacroiliac joint and spine and occurs more often in younger patients than in the elderly population. Objective The purpose of the study was to determine the association of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with the disease activity of AS. Methodology This case-control study was conducted in the rheumatology department at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) hospital in Islamabad from September 2018 to July 2019.
