Objective: To find out the attitudes of health professionals and family members of the deceased, about a witnessed cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out at Combined Military Hospital Lahore from January 2007 to June 2007. Two hundred and ninety persons related to 190 deceased patients, 40 physicians and 20 nurses were interviewed and were asked to fill a proforma to asses their views about presence of family members during a cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.
Results: Ninety eight percent of the family members wanted to be there while cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of their patient was in progress. None of the physicians favoured a witnessed resuscitation, while 3 out of 20 nurses favoured it.
Conclusion: This study suggests that institutions should consider establishing programmes of witnessed cardio-pulmonary resuscitation for family members.

Importance: Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is an understudied psychiatric condition marked by impulsive aggression and poorly regulated emotional control, often resulting in interpersonal and societal consequences. Better understanding of comorbidities can improve screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of IED and its associations with psychiatric, neurological, and somatic disorders.

Developing superionic conductor (SIC) materials offers a promising pathway to achieving high ionic conductivity in solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). The LiGePS (LGPS) family has received significant attention due to its remarkable ionic conductivity among various SIC materials. molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations have been extensively used to explore the diffusion behavior of Li ions in LiGePS.

Children with autism and their parents face daily challenges that may be stressful for both. However, little is known about biological stress (hair cortisol concentrations [HCC]) in these families and its connection to children's health outcomes. This study investigates biological stress in children with autism and their parents and its associations with child mental health, eating behavior and BMI.

Public expenditure for the improvement of maternal health is crucial in addressing the major social and demographic challenges in developing countries like India. Accordingly, the Government of India initiated the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) in 2005 as a flagship conditional cash transfer scheme to encourage institutional delivery in the country. While the provisions under the JSY remain uniform throughout the country, there are apprehensions that the impact would differ across the states as well as between the rural and urban setups depending on varied socio-economic conditions and local level dynamics.

Background: Male infertility (MI) is a polygenic condition mainly induced by spermatogenic failure/arrest or systemic disease with a large clinical spectrum. Lately, genetic sequencing allowed the identification of several variants implicated in both aforesaid situations.
Methods And Results: In this case study, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on the genomic DNA of a 37-year-old Moroccan man with Non-Obstructive Azoospermia.
