The case-control study was planned to determine if an educational intervention tool could reduce coronavirus disease-2019 vaccine hesitance and resistance in people visiting a tertiary care hospital in a developing country. Participants were randomly enrolled into intervention group A and control group B from July to December 2021. Participants in group A reviewed an educational intervention tool prior to completing a questionnaire, while participants in group B did not.

- - The research paper analyzes a capacity-strengthening workshop aimed at improving grant administration skills in Pakistani academic institutions, addressing the challenges caused by insufficient training and resources.
- - A pre and post-survey was conducted to evaluate participant knowledge, showing significant improvement in Islamabad, where support services are weaker, compared to Karachi.
- - The findings emphasize the success of interactive and inclusive learning methods in enhancing grant knowledge, highlighting the importance of collaborative learning for building a stronger research environment in Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- * While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved survival, resistance and disease progression are common, highlighting the need for new treatment options.
- * Research shows that an anti-EGFR aptamer (EGFRapt) can reduce tumor growth in LUAD cells with specific mutations, offering a promising alternative therapeutic strategy that operates through different mechanisms than current treatments.
Objectives: To determine microbiological pathogens and in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with communityacquired sepsis to the intensive care unit in a tertiary-care setting in a low- and middle-income country.
Methods: The retrospective, observational study was conducted at the medical intensive care unit of a large tertiary care hospital in Karachi, and comprised data from January 1 to December 31, 2019 of patients with community-acquired sepsis who were assessed using the Sepsis-3 criteria. Data was compared between survivors and non-survivors, and independent factors associated with in-hospital mortality were identified.

Shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) is an important measure of how plants respond to shade. Shade conditions are characterized by low light density and low red-to-far-red light (R/FR) ratio. However, low light intensity and low R/FR ratio play considerable and diverse roles in SAS.
