    Abstract Background: To evaluate the opinions of healthcare workers regarding drug therapy problems linked to anti-infective medicines used for the treatment of COVID-19 infection in Pakistan.
    Research methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to October 2022 using a self-administered questionnaire developed by the authors, having three sections: demographics, knowledge, and perception. The study was validated by research experts and pilot-tested on 30 subjects. The study included medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists from Punjab's government and private medical institutes.
    Results: In this study, 382 of 400 participants replied. The mean knowledge score was 9.52 (SD 2.97), showing that participants had adequate knowledge of COVID-19 pharmacological interventions. The knowledge scores were significantly higher of those who treated COVID-19 patients and were from Lahore. Many doctors considered that elderly patients and those with blood disorders were at greater risk of experiencing drug-related problems. Most pharmacists support electronic prescription systems. Many doctors thought the lack of unified treatment guidelines, multiple prescribers, and self-medication were key obstacles in managing COVID-19 patients.
    Conclusion: Most respondents had adequate knowledge. Older patients with comorbidities are at risk of adverse effects. Self-medication, polypharmacy, and multiple prescriptions can lead to misdiagnosis and complications. Electric prescriptions, team effort, and training programs can decrease these issues.

    Abstract Background: Data on Pakistani COVID-19 patient mortality predictors is limited. It is essential to comprehend the relationship between disease characteristics, medications used, and mortality for better patient outcomes.
    Methods: The medical records of confirmed cases in the Lahore and Sargodha districts were examined using a two-stage cluster sampling from March 2021 to March 2022. Demographics, signs and symptoms, laboratory findings, and pharmacological medications as mortality indicators were noted and analyzed.
    Results: A total of 288 deaths occurred out of the 1000 cases. Death rates were higher for males and people over 40. Most of those who were mechanically ventilated perished (OR: 124.2). Dyspnea, fever, and cough were common symptoms, with a significant association amid SpO2 < 95% (OR: 3.2), RR > 20 breaths/min (OR: 2.5), and mortality. Patients with renal (OR: 2.3) or liver failure (OR: 1.5) were at risk. Raised C-reactive protein (OR: 2.9) and D-dimer levels were the indicators of mortality (OR: 1.6). The most prescribed drugs were antibiotics, (77.9%), corticosteroids (54.8%), anticoagulants (34%), tocilizumab (20.3%), and ivermectin (9.2%).
    Conclusions: Older males having breathing difficulties or signs of organ failure with raised C-reactive protein or D-dimer levels had high mortality. Antivirals, corticosteroids, tocilizumab, and ivermectin had better outcomes; antivirals were associated with lower mortality risk.

    Abstract Symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals play a significant role in the transmission dynamics of novel Coronaviruses. By considering the dynamical behaviour of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, this study examines the temporal dynamics and optimal control of Coronavirus disease propagation using an epidemiological model. Biologically and mathematically, the well-posed epidemic problem is examined, as well as the threshold quantity with parameter sensitivity. Model parameters are quantified and their relative impact on the disease is evaluated. Additionally, the steady states are investigated to determine the model's stability and bifurcation. Using the dynamics and parameters sensitivity, we then introduce optimal control strategies for the elimination of the disease. Using real disease data, numerical simulations and model validation are performed to support theoretical findings and show the effects of control strategies.

    Abstract This article examines hepatitis B dynamics under distinct infection phases and multiple transmissions. We formulate the epidemic problem based on the characteristics of the disease. It is shown that the epidemiological model is mathematically and biologically meaningful of its well-posedness (positivity, boundedness, and biologically feasible region). The reproductive number is then calculated to find the equilibria and the stability analysis of the epidemic model is performed. A backward bifurcation is also investigated in the proposed epidemic problem. With the help of two control measures (treatment and vaccination), we develop control strategies to minimize the infected population (acute and chronic). To solve the proposed control problem, we utilize Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. Some simulations are conducted to illustrate the investigation of the analytical work and the effect of control analysis.

    Abstract Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare, progressive disease that accounts for about 19% of all inflammatory myopathies. Dysphagia occurs in about 20%-30% of IMNM patients. This case results in the third presumptive instance of IMNMwith dysphagia as the initial symptom. Given that isolated dysphagia in IMNM is atypical to the conventional symptoms in the late stage of the disease, it is critical for clinicians to have a high degree of suspicion for IMNM due to the aggressive nature of the disease and its refractoriness to treatment. Additionally, this case also highlights an atypical autoantibody, PL-7, being positive in an IMNM patient who presents with dysphagia as an initial symptom.
