Role of Coenzyme Q10 in Prophylaxis of Myocardial Infarction.

Introduction: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has a potential role in reducing the risk of myocardial infarction by slowing the progression of atherosclerosis and improving ischemia. In this study, we will assess the role of coenzyme Q10 in prophylaxis for reducing myocardial infarction and mortality related to myocardial infarction.

Methods: This open-label two open placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Sukkur, Pakistan from April 2016 to September 2019.

Do COVID-19 Antibodies Provide Long-Term Protection?

Introduction: Post severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, an immune response is generated among healthy, immunocompetent individuals with immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) antibodies. IgM rises earlier than IgG, indicating a recent infection. However, a detailed analysis is required to assess long-term immune reactions induced by antibodies.

Risk Factors Associated With Frequent Acute Exacerbations of Asthma.

Introduction: Asthma can lead to fatigue, frequent hospital visits, psychological problems, and learning problems in children. One of the complications of asthma is its life-threatening acute exacerbation. It is important to identify precipitating factors responsible for frequent acute exacerbations of asthma.

Vitamin D and Serum Immunoglobulin E Levels in Allergic Rhinitis: A Case-control Study from Pakistan.

Introduction Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common non-infectious rhinitis and is associated with sneezing, cough, and flu-like symptoms. The exact pathophysiology of AR remains uncertain. The deficiency of vitamin D has been documented as a probable cause of allergic conditions due to its role in immunomodulation.

N-acetylcysteine in the Management of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable disease of the airways characterized by limited airflow. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) may be precipitated by noxious stimuli. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has mucolytic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity.

Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure Secondary to Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Introduction Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a leading cause of poor quality of life and mortality in developing countries. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) remains the first-line intervention in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to AECOPD. However, NIPPV may fail in some patients.
