    Abstract Waardenburg-Shah syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive [AR] inherited disorder characterized by the presence of Hirschsprung's disease with a high likelihood of aganglionic megacolon, due to which the mortality is high. The management of the condition involves surgical intervention for the removal of the aganglionic segment of the colon. Here, we report a neonate that presented with a white forelock, white eyelashes, iris hypopigmentation, and sensorineural deafness associated with bilious vomiting, refusal to feed, and failure to pass meconium indicating intestinal obstruction.

    Abstract Background: The Indigenous knowledge of plants is scientifically and culturally very significant. This paper elucidates the empirical findings of an ethnobotanical survey of Banda Daud Shah, District Karak, Pakistan.
    Methods: Data collection was carried out from October 2011 to September 2012. Total twelve survey trips were made, three in each season. About 100 respondents were interviewed; most of them were aged people between 60-70 years. Interviews were conducted using structured questionnaire composed of variety of questions regarding ethnomedicinal uses of plants of the study area. Direct matrix ranking (DMR), informant citations and market survey of multipurpose plants were also carried out.
    Results: The local community was using 58 plant species belonging to 52 genera and 34 families for different purposes. A total of 25 plant species were herbs followed by 18 shrubs. Leaf (45%) was the most commonly used plant part followed by the whole plants (23%). In total, 40 plant species were medicinally used to treat variety of diseases, of which highest number of species being used for gastro-intestinal problems (19 spp.), expectorant (3 spp.) and antipyretic (3 spp.). Beside medicinal values, 25 species were used for fuel and 18 for fodder purposes. Informant consensus showed that gastrointestinal and respiratory infections were ranked highest (FIC = 0.75) among all ailments. According to DMR output, Dalbergia sisso ranked first due to high multipurpose uses among all species and was found most threatened with higher market value.
    Conclusion: The investigated area is rural in nature and the inhabitants are highly dependent on the native plants for their health care needs and other requirements like fuel wood and fodder due to financial constraints and unavailability of resources. Medicinal plants for high ranked diseases may be phtyochemicaly and pharmacologically investigated to prove their efficacy. The local medicinal flora is facing overexploitation, overgrazing and improper way of collection. Proper conservation strategies such as controlled grazing, reforestation and rangeland management among many others may be adopted to promote the sustainable use of medicinal plants.

    Abstract A field experiment was carried out on farm at Peshawar, Pakistan, during spring 2012 for evaluating the efficacy of weed management strategies to control weeds associated to three chickpea cultivars and their cost benefit ratios. The design of the experiment was randomized complete block with split plot arrangement. Different chickpea cultivars (Karak-I, Sheenghar, and Karak-III) were assigned to main plot while weed control treatments i.e. black plastic mulch, white plastic mulch, saw dust mulch, wheat straw mulch, Stomp 330 EC, Dual Gold 960 EC, hand weeding and untreated control were assigned to subplots. The parameters recorded were the fresh weed biomass (kg/ha), the number of seeds/pod and the cost benefit ratio. The results revealed a relatively divergent response of various treatments and chickpea cultivars for all the studied parameters. The results showed that the lowest fresh weed biomass (655.33 kg/ha) was noticed in hand weeding followed by herbicides (Stomp 330EC and Dual Gold 960EC) while among chickpea cultivars the minimum fresh weed biomass (705.02 kg/ha) was recorded for Karak-III. Black plastic mulch and hand weeding positively affected the chickpea production where the maximum number of seeds/pod was of about 1.67 and 1.61, respectively. The cost benefit ratio results revealed that the highest net return to the farmer as a result of added cost to the crop was obtained by applying Stomp 330 EC (1:2.18) followed by Dual Gold 960 EC (1:1.94) and hand weeding (1:1.91). Hence, the present study recommends the sowing of chickpea cultivar Karak-III with hand weeding practice or herbicide application (Stomp 330 EC or Dual Gold 960 EC) at the recommended rate to obtain maximum weed control and high net income in the agroecological conditions of Peshawar.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review will examine the most current evidence for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) in the pediatric population, specifically in terms of weight loss outcomes and improvement in comorbid conditions and complications. Additionally, we compare surgical and non-surgical interventions, review current guidelines, and propose a stepwise evidence-based approach to the management of obesity in children.
    Recent findings: MBS is a safe option for appropriately selected pediatric patients which leads to significant and sustained weight loss. This weight loss is associated with improvement of related comorbid conditions. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has emerged as the procedure of choice with a better safety profile. Despite the evidence, very few adolescents undergo MBS. New pharmacologic agents specifically the GLP-1/GIP agents have shown early promise especially in patients under body mass index 40, but the long-term effects are unknown. MBS is an effective tool in the management of pediatric obesity, and its use has been recommended by professional societies. Early referral to a multidisciplinary obesity team can help identify appropriate patients.

    Abstract Retained foreign bodies are foreign materials which are left accidentally inside a patient's body after a procedure. In this report we present the case of a 57 year old man who presented to the ENT clinic with a history of symptoms stretching over 8 years back to when he underwent a hypophysectomy through the transsphenoidal approach. These symptoms included cacosmia, ageusia, altered taste at times, foul smelling discharge, nasal discharge and dizziness. He had undergone multiple radiological examinations as well as antibiotic courses. It was only after the examination of the nose under general anaesthesia, conducted by the corresponding author that a swab was found in the sphenoid sinus which was left behind from his surgery 8 years ago. Cases of retained foreign bodies are very rare and are easily preventable. This case highlights the importance of adherence to health and safety protocols to prevent such an avoidable complication.
