Comparison Between Uses Of Contraceptive Methods In LHW Covered And LHW Uncovered Areas.

Background: Family planning is of great importance in population dynamics as unregulated fertility negatively affects the economic stabilization of the country. Family planning is considered an effective way for the improvement of child and maternal health and reduces the maternal and perinatal morality. Total contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) in Pakistan is 29% even of the fact that 97% Pakistani women know only one method of contraception.

ARE WE TELLING THE DIABETIC PATIENTS ADEQUATELY ABOUT FOOT CARE?

Background: Diabetes mellitus affects more than 285 million people worldwide. The prevalenceis expected to rise to 439 million by the year 2030. Diabetic foot ulcers precede 84% of non-traumatic amputations in diabetics.

Comparison Of Efficacy Of 10% Potassium Hydroxide Solution Versus Cryotherapy In Treatment Of Molluscum Contagiosum.

Background:: Different topical therapies are being used for treating molluscum contagiosum. Potassium hydroxide in varying solution strengths with irritant reaction on the skin can help in eliminating the infection. It is cheap, easily available, can be easily applied at home, with good safety profile and cost effectiveness.

Left ventricular thrombus in patients with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction.

Background: Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a frequent and potentially dangerous complication of acute myocardial infarction and is associated with increased risk of systemic embolization. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of left ventricular thrombus in patients with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in departments of Medicine and Cardiology, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, from 15th April to 15th October, 2011.

Improving patient care by unshackling telemedicine: adaptively aggregating wireless networks to facilitate continuous collaboration.

Telemedicine has had a positive impact on some aspects of patient care. However, existing telemedicine systems that use high-quality video are inflexible, requiring investment in fixed infrastructure. We have overcome a number of technical challenges to build a mobile telemedicine system that can reliably deliver high-quality video from both stationary sites and moving vehicles.

Building a High-Quality Mobile Telemedicine System using Network Striping over Dissimilar Wireless Wide Area Networks.

This paper describes an approach to building a high-quality mobile telemedicine system that overcomes the limitations of individual public wireless data networks. Public wireless data channels do not have the capacity to handle the high-bandwidth video needed for applications such as remote evaluation of trauma and stroke patients. Network striping allows us to aggregate multiple physical channels to meet the bandwidth requirements for the video.
