To determine the ideal method for postoperative pain management after circumcision by comparing the most frequently used different methods like; dorsal penile block, caudal epidural block, subcutaneous ring block, intravenous paracetamol and intravenous tramadol HCl. ⋯ It has been shown that none of the five method has any superiority in reducing pain after circumcision and that all five methods can be used. However, we think that side effects of regional anesthesia and systemic analgesic applications should not be ignored.

To determine the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in healthcare workers in tertiary care hospitals of Rawalpindi, using interferon gamma release assay. ⋯ The prevalence of LTBI in healthcare workers is alarmingly high in our local healthcare settings.

To investigate the therapeutic effect of tirofiban hydrochloride sodium chloride injection combined with cardiovascular intervention on acute myocardial infarction. ⋯ Tirofiban hydrochloride sodium chloride injection combined with cardiovascular intervention has a significant clinical effect in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. It can effectively improve the blood perfusion and reduce the incidence of adverse cardiac events, suggesting a good effect on the prognosis of patients and high application value.
-
To determine frequency of post induction and post consolidation minimal residual disease (MRD) in pediatric B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients and its association with clinical risk factors. ⋯ Despite high frequency of MRD positivity, significant association is not observed between post induction MRD and risk factors. However, post consolidation MRD has a significant association with NCI risk groups, age and CNS status.

To discuss the clinical effect and safety evaluation of laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (LNSS) under selective segmental renal artery clamping (SSRAC) and main renal artery clamping (MRAC). ⋯ SSRAC is a new renal artery clamping technology, and its curative effect on LNSS patients is significant. In addition, SSRAC has high safety and little influence on renal functions.
