Abstract	Objectives Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh hernioplasty (IPOM) for ventral hernias has been used for a long time. However, there have been some issues associated with it, thereby leading to the introduction of a new technique that involves laparoscopic closure of the fascial defect with suture followed by intraperitoneal onlay mesh placement (IPOM-Plus). We carried out this study to compare the outcome of laparoscopic IPOM with fascial defect closure versus without defect closure in midline ventral hernia repair in terms of recurrence. Methodology This comparative study was carried out in the Department of Surgery, Services Hospital, Lahore, from October 16, 2020, to April 15, 2022. A total of 84 patients of both genders, aged between 18 and 70 years, presenting with midline ventral hernia were included in the study. Patients with recurrent hernia, unstable cardiopulmonary conditions, neurological or psychiatric diseases, chronic renal disease, congestive cardiac failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were excluded from the study. Patients were assigned to two groups. Group 1 underwent IPOM with the closure of the defect, and Group 2 underwent IPOM without the closure of the defect. Patients were observed for immediate postoperative complications. Patients were monitored for one year to assess recurrence through clinical evaluation and ultrasonography. Results In this study, seroma formation was found in 3 (7.14%) patients for laparoscopic IPOM with fascial defect closure and 10 (23.81%) in those undergoing laparoscopic IPOM without defect closure (

Abstract	Objective: To assess the frequency and time of onset of new-onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) and its associated factors. Study design: Observational study. Place and duration of study: Department of Nephrology, Bahria International Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from April 2016 to April 2018. Methodology: NODAT was diagnosed according to American Diabetes Association Criteria with fasting plasma glucose >126 mg/dl or random plasma glucose >200 mg/dl. Those with pre-existing diabetes and follow-up duration less than 12months, were excluded. Patients were divided in two groups: with and without NODAT, for statistical comparison. Results: The study included 115 patients, 101 were males and the median age was 35.0 (29.0-46.0) years. During the one-year period of follow-up, 28 (24.3%) patients developed NODAT. The mean time of onset of NODAT was 5.3 ± 3.6 months. Family history of diabetes was positive in 46% patients in NODAT group, which was significantly higher as compared to 5.7% in non-NODAT group with p-value of <0.001, which is significant. All patients with more than three HLA mismatches developed NODAT. The mean fasting glucose levels (FPG) before transplant in NODAT group was 96.6 ± 15.4 mg/dl, which was significantly higher than FPG of non-NODAT group, where it was 80.5 ± 12.2 mg/dl. It was interesting to note that 35.7% of hepatitis patients developed NODAT as compared to 6 % in non-NODAT group with p = 0.001. Conclusion: NODAT was observed in 24.3% patients. The pre-transplant FPG, family history of diabetes, increased HLA mismatches, and hepatitis C infection were the major associated factors. Key Words: New onset diabetes after transplant, Fasting plasma glucose, Renal transplant.

Abstract	Background: Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a major health problem that affects individuals across the world. Nurses, midwives and healthcare providers need to be confident and competent in identifying and responding to DVA. Aims: To measure current levels of knowledge, opinions and preparedness towards DVA and how it is managed by registered nurses and midwives residing in Australia and the UK. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected using the Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) measuring the perceived preparation and knowledge, actual knowledge, opinions and practice issues. Australian data were collected in 2018 and UK data were collected in 2017-2018. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data and differences in knowledge and attitudes of British and Australian nurses. Findings: Nurses and midwives (n = 368; 130 from Australia; 238 from the UK) responded to the survey. Minimal previous DVA training was reported by the participants. Participants had minimal knowledge about DVA, though had a positive attitude towards engaging with women experiencing DVA. Discussion: Most participants felt unprepared to ask relevant questions about DVA and had inadequate knowledge about available resources. Australian participants scored better than British participants; however, the mean difference in all aspects remained statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Australian and British nurses and midwives have a positive attitude towards women experiencing DVA; however, the knowledge and skills to support women experiencing DVA are limited. Implications for nursing policy: Nursing institutions should develop strategic policies regarding mandatory preparation and training of nurses for domestic violence assessment and management.

Abstract	Background Adhesions occur frequently after surgery. A number of methods are being employed for reducing post-operative adhesions. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of hyaluronic acid gel in the reduction of post-operative bowel obstruction symptoms in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy due to small bowel perforation and presenting with peritonitis. Methods In this experimental study, 78 patients were evaluated. All had presented to the emergency department with peritonitis secondary to small bowel perforation. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and after thorough lavage, a loop stoma was formed on the right side of the abdomen with an injection of hyaluronic acid gel injected into the abdominal cavity before the closure of the abdomen. Postoperative obstructive symptoms at one, three, and six months were evaluated. All patients underwent stoma reversal at three months. Results Obstructive bowel symptoms were seen in 18 patients (23.07%) patients. The cumulative incidence of obstructive symptoms at three months was only 8.97% but after the second intervention without protective gel, it increased to 23.07% at six months. Conclusions Cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel was effective in the reduction of post-operative bowel obstructive symptoms due to adhesions in patients who had presented with peritonitis due to small bowel perforation and had undergone exploratory laparotomy with stoma formation.

Abstract	Background Perforation of peptic ulcers is a common cause of emergency surgery and has significant morbidity and mortality. The use and range of laparoscopic surgery have greatly increased over the past three decades. Laparoscopic approach is an option for perforated peptic ulcers because of the simple nature of the intervention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of laparoscopic approach for peptic ulcer repair in emergency setting by means of operative time, post-operative pain, mean hospital stay, and post-operative complications. Methods In this study, we enrolled patients presenting with perforated peptic ulcers in the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. Approval from the hospital ethical committee and informed consent were taken from all patients. After resuscitation, the patient underwent laparoscopic repair of perforation. Post-operative course of patients was monitored. Duration of surgery, post-operative pain, length of hospital stay, and post-operative complications were noted for all patients. Results Between December 2018 and December 2021, 31 patients with perforated peptic ulcers underwent laparoscopic repair at our hospital. Mean age of patients was 37.25 ± 7.80 years. Most of the patients were male (70.76%). The mean operation time was 109.35 ± 17.02 minutes for laparoscopic repair. Mean duration of hospital stay was 5.10 ± 0.87 days. Mean post-operative pain was 3.55 ± 0.85 assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale. There were no mortalities during the 30-day post-operative window. Conclusion With proper patient selection, laparoscopic surgery offers better results as compared to open surgery in patients undergoing emergency surgery for perforated peptic ulcers.

Abstract	Although we use humor in our daily communication, there still needs to cognize its effects on the attitudes and behavior of the employees. Based on benign violation theory (BVT), the study proposes that leader's humor (LH) conveys social information about counter norms. The BVT has been amalgamated with social information processing theory (SIPT) to develop hypotheses assuming the consequences of LH on the attitude and behavior of the employees. This study hypothesizes that even though LH is linked positively with employee creativity

Abstract	Zinc (Zn) deficiency in soil is an important restriction for the production of crops and a well-known human health issue. In semi-arid and arid regions of the world, deficiency of zinc is very common due to an increase in fixation and decrease in solubility. Zinc deficiency is a growing health concern, with 20.6% of children having zinc concentrations below 60 g/dL. Geographically there is a very close relationship between zinc deficiency in soil and humans which represents the soaring necessity for zinc biofortification in crops. Zinc biofortification of crops can be a cost-effective and long-term strategy for combating zinc insufficiency and preventing morbidity in the target population. The use of organic amendments is very good to overcome this problem by increasing the process of nutrient delivery and improving crop growth and productivity. Food crops that have been biofortified, including grains, beans, vegetables, and fruits, can provide enough micronutrients for the target population. Aside from the challenges, biofortified crops have a promising future in combating hunger.

Abstract	Background: The accumulation of fluid between the retinal layers is called retinal or macular oedema, while intraretinal oedema, or macular oedema, refers to fluid accumulation directly within the retina. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of intravitreal injections of bevacizumab on intraocular pressure (IOP) in Non-Glaucomatous patients with Macular Oedema. Methods: A pre-and post-interventional study was conducted. 220 patients were studied utilizing a non-probability, consecutive sampling method. Open Epi software was used to determine the sample size. The Department of Ophthalmology at Islamabad's Tertiary Care Hospital hosted the study, which lasted six months. Results: The study's participants ranged in age from 30 to 60, with a mean age of 50.38±6.53 years. Male to female ratio of these 220 patients was 1:1.6, with 86 (39.09%) men and 134 (60.91%) women. The mean IOP at baseline was 11.57±1.42 mmHg, and the mean IOP one month after the injection was 12.81±1.18 mmHg, with a mean change in IOP of 1.24±0.87 mmHg. Conclusions: This study found that non-glaucomatous patients with macular oedema experienced a high mean change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after intravitreal Avastin.
