    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in the treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in Afghanistan.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of all RVO cases that underwent intravitreal ant-VEGF injection at the two leading hospitals in Kabul. The main outcome measures were visual acuity and central retinal thickness as determined by optical coherence tomography. Information was also collected on the distance traveled by each patient and the frequency of injections.
    Results: One hundred and twenty-five eyes of 121 patients (86 males) with RVO were identified as having undergone treatment, with a mean age of 53.1 years (range 20-80). The only agent used was bevacizumab. The mean central retinal thickness reduced from 624.2 ± 24.9 μm at the baseline to 257.8 ± 5.7 μm following treatment (
    Conclusion: Despite the challenges of health-care provision in Afghanistan, this review shows that the use of intravitreal bevacizumab has provided an effective treatment for macular edema after RVO.

    Abstract Introduction: Haemophilia is the most common severe congenital bleeding disorder and can significantly influence patients' quality of life. The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multi-dimensional concept that assess effect of different aspects of health status, including physical, mental, and social domains. Identification of the factors affecting the HRQoL of Persons with Haemophilia (PWH) can guide health care system to better management of patients.
    Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate HRQoL in PWH in Afghanistan.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 PWH in Kabul City, Afghanistan. Data were collected using 36-Item-Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire and analysed using correlation coefficients and regression analysis.
    Results: The mean scores for the SF-36 questionnaire 8 domains range from 33 ± 38.3 to 58.15 ± 20.5. The highest mean value belongs to physical function (PF) (58.15), whereas the lowest is related to restriction of activities due to emotional problems (RE) (33.00). A significant association (p < .005) was observed between all domains of SF-36 and patients' age except for PF (p = .055) and general health (GH) (p = .75). A significant association was also observed between all HRQoL domains and the severity of haemophilia (p < .001). The severity of haemophilia was the significant predictor for Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) (p < .001).
    Conclusion: Due to the reduced HRQoL in Afghan PWH, special attention by health care system should be paid to improve patients' quality of life.

    Abstract The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), like any other disease, has created great worry in Afghanistan. The country's slew of issues has paved the way for HIV to spread and go unchecked. International groups have banded together to stop the virus's spread since the first case was confirmed in Afghanistan. The cumulative effects of international collaboration have aided in the reduction of cases and improved awareness. Because of their injection use, a large portion of the country's population has been classified as a vulnerable category for HIV infection. Awareness campaigns and international collaboration should be implemented to further limit the spread of HIV.

    Abstract Introduction: Mayer-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is the second reason for primary amenorrhea. MRKHS is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of mullerrian structures, uterus, and upper two-thirds of the vagina, with normal fully developed secondary sexual characteristics.
    Case presentation: This report describes the case of a 30-year-old married woman with primary amenorrhea. She had normal secondary sex characteristics, but the uterus, cervix, and upper two-thirds of the vagina were absent. She underwent the modified Abbe McIndoe procedure. The amnion membrane was mounted on the mold with a mesenchymal surface outward to adhere surface of the neovagina. After three months, it was not necessary to use the mold and sexual intercourse was recommended.
    Discussion: The modified Abbe- McIndoe method with amnion graft is save, rapid, and simple procedure. The amnion membrane is easily storable and accessible. Therefore, this technique is effective and simple for developing countries including Afghanistan.
    Conclusion: This case indicates that the modified Abbe McIndoe methods can be used as a safe procedure in the treatment of MRKH Syndrome.

    Abstract Key clinical message: Pancreatic pseudocysts are rare in the pediatric population, commonly a result of trauma. Timely diagnosis and adequate management with a multidisciplinary approach are the key to avoid morbidity and mortality. Larger cysts often require surgical intervention.
    Abstract: We report a case of a 4-year-old female child who presented with a massive pancreatic pseudocyst. Pseudocysts >10 cm are at an increased risk of rupture, hence require surgical intervention. Percutaneous external drainage via pigtail catheter was followed by cysto-gastrostomy due to continuous high output. The postoperative period was uneventful.
