    Abstract Background: Accreditation bodies of medical education globally value competency in research that facilitates evidence-based practice of medicine. Physician-scientists need awareness of qualitative research methods for in-depth exploration of sociocultural, gender, behavioural, emotional, and religious factors affecting health that cannot be gauged by quantitative research methods. The introduction of qualitative research at the undergraduate level can enhance understanding of local populations' unique health needs and strengthen evidence-based practice.
    Methods: This was a mixed-method study conducted from July to October 2021. Four journals with dedicated student's corner/student journals were hand-searched for qualitative research articles published by students, over the past five years. Quantitative data was collected at four medical colleges of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa for several qualitative research projects being conducted by students. Quantitative data was collected from the faculty of these colleges about the facilities of research departments. After analysing quantitative data, five semi-structured interviews via email were conducted about factors limiting qualitative research at medical colleges. Written responses were analysed for themes.
    Results: There was not a single qualitative research article published by students in local journals in five years. Out of 39 research projects by undergraduates at four medical colleges only one was qualitative. Two themes developed from qualitative data were underdeveloped research departments and a lack of attitude toward qualitative research.
    Conclusions: There is a felt need and gap to include qualitative research objectives at the undergraduate level, but before that emphasis needs to be placed on providing infrastructure, resources, and trained faculty to facilitate implementation. It will facilitate future doctors to find answers to problems impalpable by quantitative methods.

    Abstract Objective: Specialty choices in health profession has long been influenced by gender. The field of General Surgery remains the least preferred specialty by females, especially in Pakistan. The objective of this study was to identify the factors leading to success and retention of females in General Surgery in Pakistan.
    Methods: Qualitative case study was conducted from February to May 2020 at Khyber Medical University, Peshawar. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposive sample of female surgeons at various academic position in different tertiary care hospitals of Pakistan. Data were thematically analyzed.
    Results: Participants were driven by their passion for surgery, which led them to choose this specialty in the beginning. Their survival in male dominant workplace was made possible by their own personality traits and conducive environment provided by the supervisors and peers. However, a structured mentorship program for females was found lacking.
    Conclusion: The necessary ingredients for success are passion and personality traits in any field but attention to nurturing and supportive environment for females in the General Surgery is paramount in determining success. Due consideration to the factors identified in the current study will enhance the retention and success of females in General Surgery.

    Abstract Background: Leishmaniasis is an endemic disease and a major public health problem throughout the world. Its geographic distribution has been extended over the past few years in Pakistan. The available treatment options of Leishmaniasis are limited and mostly parenteral, and hence a nontoxic oral alternative therapy is urgently needed to overcome the problem. The objective of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of Allopurinol as an adjunct therapy along with conventional intra-lesional sodium Stibogluconate in the treatment of cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
    Methods: This single blinded randomized controlled trial was carried out at the tertiary care hospitals of district Peshawar, Pakistan. A total of one hundred and sixty-four (164) patients of age range from 19-56 years, consisting of both genders were included in this study. All subjects were randomly allocated to Group-1 and Group-2 where each group had 82 patients of comparable age and genders. Group-1 patients were given an intra-lesional injection of sodium Stibogluconate at a dose of 1-5 ml depending on the lesion size, where one ml injection contained 100 mg of the drug. Group-2 patients were given combination therapy of oral Allopurinol (20 mg/kg/day in divided doses) along with the same intra-lesional sodium Stibogluconate dose as group-1 until complete cure of the lesion.
    Results: Combination therapy of sodium Stibogluconate along with Allopurinol was found superior to sodium Stibogluconate alone in terms of duration of treatment. Group-1, patients who received only sodium Stibogluconate required prolonged treatment duration of 6-9 weeks depending upon the lesion size, while group-2 patients who received combination therapy of sodium Stibogluconate and Allopurinol responded more quickly and their lesions cured in 3-6 weeks depending upon the lesion size.
    Conclusions: Oral Allopurinol has a synergistic effect when used with intra-lesional sodium Stibogluconate and effectively reduces the treatment duration required for complete cure of cutaneous Leishmaniasis. Treatment duration was reduced by 3 weeks in the present study when combination therapy was given to the patients of cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
