To explore undergraduate medical students' perception of variation in teaching and supervision at different clinical teaching sites. ⋯ This study tool highlights variation in clinical teaching and supervision at four clinical teaching sites. It provides specific, actionable information which can be utilized to deliver equitable learning experiences across clinical clerkships and teaching sites. It places emphasis on the fact that lack of physical facilities hampers clinical teaching and supervision, hence, on call rooms, lockers and separate rooms for independent student interaction with patients should be provided at all clinical teaching sites.

The purpose of the study was to access the efficacy and response of the endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery in pituitary adenomas. ⋯ The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach for pituitary adenoma is the safest procedure with marked improvement in complications and reduction in patient's hospital stay.

To study and detect immunohistochemical expression of Estrogen Receptors, Progestrone Receptors and HER-2/neu Receptors in Endometrial Carcinoma (EC) and to find their associations with histological types, grades and stages of the tumor. ⋯ It is suggested that EC showing over expression of HER2/neu with immunohistochemistry may be treated with anti HER-2/neu treatment with better chances of survival and decreased post-treatment morbidity.
-
To compare the effectiveness of Morphine alone and Morphine with MgSo4 in pain management after CABG surgery. ⋯ Morphine with Mgso4 has better efficacy as compared to morphine alone when used as analgesic agent after CABG surgery.

Everolimus-eluting stents, compared with bare metal stents, reduced the risk of restenosis in clinical trials with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The objective of this study was to determine the three months clinical outcomes of Everolimus Eluting Stents in patients with stable angina pectoris in Pakistani population. ⋯ Short-term results from this study suggest that real-world outcomes among 378 patients are comparable to those reported in other registries and trials, and safety outcomes as measured by rates of TVR, MI were low. The long-term safety of Everolimus-eluting stents needs to be ascertained in large, randomized trials.
