Abstract	Objective: To determine the final year pharmacy undergraduate students' attitudes toward research after completing a research project. Methods: A research project was introduced in the final year of the PharmD program in January 2022. After a period of one year, in Janurary 2023, students submitted their final research to the faculty members. The survey was conducted from 1st March to 30st April 2023 using a study tool that contained items asking students' demographic, their research perceptions, attitude and experience, and also motivation/barriers faced during the research project. Descriptive and Results: Majority of the students (93.8%) agreed regarding the significance of research in the pharmacy profession. Students were found to have their projects a worthwhile learning opportunity (94.2%). Students' motivation to execute research project stems from mandatory curriculum courses, improving clinical or hospital pharmacist training and fulfilling research skills (90%). Barriers hindered include lack of training, time, and patient follow-up (approximately 70%). Conclusion: The current study's finding was concluded with the fact that research is a valuable component of a well-rounded education and can enhance a pharmacist's skills. However, they need a combination of formal education and practical experience to pursue a profession in pharmacy.

Abstract	Background: In the current scenario of global immunization against Coronavirus, people do have an uncertain thought regarding the efficacy and effects of the vaccine. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and acceptability of vaccines among the general population of Karachi. Methodology: For the purpose of the study, literature focusing on the knowledge, awareness, and acceptance regarding COVID-19 immunization was reviewed. Google Scholar, PubMed, Research Gate, and Scopus were searched using the keywords COVID-19, non-pharmaceutical Interventions, immunization-related knowledge, awareness, and acceptance. A pilot study was designed to demonstrate the COVID-19 immunization understanding and acceptability. Results: Low rate of acceptability for getting vaccinated is observed in the local population. Most perceptions indicated vaccines to be not healthy, harmful, and life-threatening. Conclusion: The current situation of fast-spreading of the virus and the non-acceptance of vaccines is highly alarming for community and health authorities and demands strong health care measures and campaigns to control the disaster.

Abstract	Background: Online learning (OLL) methodology has been incorporated in higher education extensively on the mount over the last few decades and with the onset of COVID-19 situation, the virtual method in academia became essential. After observing worldly destructions and death due to coronavirus, the WHO declared a high alert emergency, and since Pakistan started to follow lockdown since March 2020 to prevent high penetration and consequently, the online teaching method was adapted to keep the learning atmosphere alive. The study is aimed to identify the influencing factors and compliance for the implementation of the OLL system in COVID-19 and, in the future, nonpandemic state as well. Materials and methods: The present study is designed to observe the adaptability and hurdles among pharmacy students, and for the purpose of the study, a questionnaire on the Likert scale was developed and asked to respond from pharmacy undergraduate and postgraduate students after taking consensus, which further analyzed through IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26. Results: The outcomes of the study were analyzed with a high level of conformity; however, the gender-based reservations were observed, and moreover, merits of OLL were observed with high jeopardy. Conclusion: The adaptation of OLL, though proved as the only troubleshooter in an uncontrollable situation and enabled universities, professors, and students for patience, resilience, and hopefully, will serve as swift safeguard for future challenges of epidemic and pandemic disasters. According to the evolution theory, brain adaptability and plasticity of human organisms grow the capacity to adjust itself with an advanced characteristic.

Abstract	Background: Geriatrics refers to age-related health changes and consequently causes complications in polypharmacy, generalizing prescribing patterns. The study aimed to investigate the pervasiveness of medication inaccuracies along with drug interactions. Methodology: Out of 450 prescriptions only 210 were selected that contained Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) and other drugs. Drug-drug interactions were articulated by Micromedex 2.0, and the harm score was determined by National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention. Results: The outcomes revealed that 645 medication errors were identified and multiple errors were present in a single prescription. The most frequent error was unstated patient's weight (98.6%) proceeds from drug-drug interactions (66.7%). According to the harm score, 36.66% of prescriptions were placed in category D, there was a statistically significant association between the drug-drug interaction and the number of prescribed drugs (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The prime solution is that the physicians should be facilitated withal trainings about drug interactions and prescription writing skills according to WHO guidelines or other recognized standards.

Abstract	Objective: After the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic, intense efforts to combat the novel coronavirus were undertaken, with many fatalities in most regions of the world. The high fatality rate and socioeconomic collapse affected the health of uninfected individuals because healthcare measures and scheduled clinical and hospital visits were avoided by people in an attempt to reduce their exposure to the contagion. The general population began self-medication practices as means to safeguard against exposure to the virus. Methods: The present study investigated the effectiveness of self-medication compliance among the general population. For this purpose, a questionnaire on the Zenodo scale was developed and adults and teen respondents were asked to complete it, after providing consent. The data gathered were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26. Results: The study amazingly found high compliance with self-medication among the focused population during the period of COVID-19. Estimated results showed a highly significant correlation of 0.000, P < 0.05, between the adaptation of self-medication and pandemic situation, which was estimated from chi-squared and Fisher test results. Conclusions: However, the fear of coronavirus made the practice, or malpractice, a survival of the fittest, innate ability of human nature.

Abstract	Background: Gestational Diabetes mellitus (GDM) has become a pervasive health issue of today’s era, leading to be a complicated disorder globally. It has also been proved to be highly accountable for causing an undesired impact on maternal health of patient as well as progeny. The high number of reported cases with consequent complications need appropriate medical care and timely attention. Objectives: The present study was intended to display the real figure of a high rise in GDM in Pakistan, with all involved parameters, to rectify the real factors either socioeconomic or domestic, accountable for the jeopardizing of disease. Methodology: The study was conducted in different maternity hospitals of Karachi, Pakistan. Association between GDM with age, family history, co-morbid complications, fetal complications and others were analyzed by Pearson chi-square test using SPSS. Results: More than 50% of participants belong to the age bracket of 31-45 years and 31.2% having a positive family history of diabetes. No known risk factor regarding GDM was present in 40.6% of women. GDM was observed prevalent and associated with poor health management of mother, and found to increase with elderly mothers (i.e. age of mother at the time of conception) in Pakistan. Conclusion: GDM should be considered as primary health care for the trans-generational prevention of diabetes and needs to be addressed as a public health issue in order to cure the mother and fetus during pregnancy and to prevent long term effects of this disease.

Abstract	The idea of this study is based on the marvelous fact of nojirimycin and deoxy nojirimycin, naturally occurring from piperidine class and having their role as alpha glucosidase inhibitors. In the present work some hydroxyl piperidine analogues have been synthesized and analysed for their hypoglycemic effect through glucosidase inhibition owing to the structural resemblance with nojirimycin. The activity was done by spectral absorbance analysis using acarbose as standard. Two analogues (I & IV) were found to pose excellent activity having 87.4 and 54.7% inhibition respectively, hence strengthening the idea of studying piperidine analogiues as glucosidase inhibitors due to structural similarity with nojirimycin.
