Article Synopsis
- Plants face various biotic and abiotic stresses that hinder their growth and productivity, making micronutrient application essential for optimal yield, especially in leafy vegetables.
- This study explores how different concentrations of copper sulfate (0, 75, 125, and 175 ppm) affect the growth and biochemical traits of Spinacia oleracea (spinach) and Avena sativa (oats).
- The findings show that 75 ppm of copper sulfate boosts plant height, leaf area, and chlorophyll levels while higher concentrations, particularly 175 ppm, lead to decreased plant health and productivity, highlighting the importance of using optimal nutrient levels.
Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the impact of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on stillbirths and other perinatal outcomes among women in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methodology: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at two tertiary care hospitals, Aga Khan Hospital (AKU) and Liaquat National Hospital (LNH) in Karachi, Pakistan. The primary outcome variable of this study was stillbirth.
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex condition marked by rapid deterioration of renal function (within hours or days), with clinical symptoms ranging from a minor rise in serum creatinine to anuric renal failure needing renal replacement therapy. AKI is one of the complications of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aims to determine the frequency of AKI among patients with ACS and identify its predictors.

Scoring systems that help to quantify mortality risks on the basis of clinical conditions not only help in estimating prognosis, but also help clinicians in making decisions particularly in situations presenting with dilemmas. This study aims to determine SNAPPE-II (Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-Perinatal Extension) score as a predictor of neonatal mortality in NICU at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: This study was conducted to determine whether remdesivir administration for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with reducing deaths among COVID-19 hospitalized patients.
Methodology: It was a retrospective study, and the data was acquired at Ziauddin Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. All patients admitted between February and May 2021 with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection confirmed by polymerase chain reaction testing from nasopharyngeal samples were included in the study, including those who received at least five-day treatment of remdesivir and who did not receive even a single dose of remdesivir.
Background: The aim of this study is to assess the correlation and agreement between venous blood gas (VBG) values and arterial blood gas (ABG) values in patients presented in the emergency department of the Indus Hospital, Karachi. This study also included the evaluation of specificity and sensitivity of VBGs values for the identification of abnormal ABG values.
Method: It was a retrospective, observational study conducted at the Indus Hospital and Health Network, Karachi, Pakistan.
