Subacromial Content to Subacromial Space Ratio in Neutral Position of the Arm as Diagnostic Criteria of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
J Med Ultrasound
May 2022
Medical Imaging Department, Afro-Asian Institute, Lahore, Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- Shoulder impingement syndrome is a common cause of shoulder disability, especially among working-class individuals, and dynamic sonography is the preferred method for evaluating it.
- The study measured the subacromial contents (SAC) and subacromial space (SAS) in 772 shoulders using ultrasound to determine a diagnostic ratio that could identify shoulder impingement.
- The results showed a specific SAC-to-SAS ratio for normal shoulders, with high accuracy, sensitivity (99.25%), and specificity (80.86%), suggesting that this ratio is a reliable diagnostic tool for shoulder impingement syndrome.
Challenges perceived by nursing professionals in physician-centred organizations: An exploratory qualitative study.
Int Nurs Rev
September 2022
Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan.
Aim: To explore and analyse contextual challenges in nursing that have affected nurses' perceptions and role performance.
Background: Health system hierarchy and patient/family-centred care has led to a high demand for skilled nurses. However, patriarchal organizations create challenges for nursing clinicians in Pakistan and elsewhere.
Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Years of Life Lost, Years Lived With Disability, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years for 29 Cancer Groups From 2010 to 2019: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

Article Synopsis
- The GBD 2019 study systematically estimated the global cancer burden, providing data on incidence, mortality, and disability to help address cancer worldwide.
- In 2019, an estimated 23.6 million new cancer cases and 10 million cancer deaths occurred globally, marking significant increases in rates since 2010, with cancer becoming a leading cause of both death and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
- The impact of cancer varied across sociodemographic index (SDI) quintiles, with higher SDI areas seeing more new cases, while middle SDI areas experienced more deaths and DALYs, highlighting disparities in cancer burden.
Estimating global injuries morbidity and mortality: methods and data used in the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study.

Background: While there is a long history of measuring death and disability from injuries, modern research methods must account for the wide spectrum of disability that can occur in an injury, and must provide estimates with sufficient demographic, geographical and temporal detail to be useful for policy makers. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study used methods to provide highly detailed estimates of global injury burden that meet these criteria.
Methods: In this study, we report and discuss the methods used in GBD 2017 for injury morbidity and mortality burden estimation.
Epidemiology of injuries from fire, heat and hot substances: global, regional and national morbidity and mortality estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study.

Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Past research highlights that fires and hot substances are significant global health risks, causing morbidity and mortality that necessitate better preventative strategies and healthcare access.
- Using the Global Burden of Disease 2017 framework, the study calculated various health metrics related to fire-related injuries across 195 countries from 1990 to 2017.
- Findings indicate that while global mortality rates from these injuries have declined, there is considerable regional variation, with middle and lower-income areas being more affected and requiring improved safety resources and healthcare infrastructure.*
Relation of Color Doppler Twinkling Artifact and Scale or Pulse Repetition Frequency.
J Med Ultrasound
February 2019
Department of University Institute of Radiological Sciences and Medical Imaging Technologies (UIRSMIT), Faculty of Allied Health Sciences (FAHS), University of Lahore, Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) affect the appearance of color Doppler twinkling artifacts during ultrasound exams over 20 months.
- Researchers examined 500 structures with observed twinkling artifacts and compared them to 500 structures without artifacts using both low and high PRF settings.
- The results showed that changes in PRF did not significantly affect the twinkling artifact, indicating that the artifact's appearance is independent of the PRF/scale used.
