Abstract	Background: Medical teacher plays an important role in the education of medical students. Medical students always portray their teacher as an ideal. The objective of the study was to find the gap between the best qualities that an ideal medical teacher should have and the best qualities that a medical teacher actually has. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted at Ayub Medical College Abbottabad from April 2021 to Dec 2021. Consented students of 4th year and Final year MBBS were the participants. Data regarding the qualities of the best medical teacher was collected on Likert scaled validated survey questionnaire. Two closed-ended questionnaires were used. Items were the same in both questionnaires. One questionnaire (Questionnaire A) was regarding expectations of students and what qualities they expected in their ideal medical teacher. The second questionnaire (questionnaire B) was about the qualities that a medical teacher actually had been exhibiting those students had experienced. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: A total of 210 students participated in this study, 126 students were from 4th year and 84 were from the final year of MBBS. Ninety-one and a half percent of students thought that an ideal medical teacher should be competent in his/her subject but in reality, 48% of students reported that their teachers are competent. Ninety-four percent of students rated that an ideal medical teacher should have excellent communication skills but in reality, only 33% reported that their teachers are having good communication skills. Eighty-three (83%) students expect their teachers should be students friendly but in reality, only 22% of teachers are students caring. Eighty-nine percent of students expect that an ideal medical teacher shall demonstrate clinical skills to students but in reality, only 36% experienced demonstration from their teachers. Conclusions: There is a big gap between the expected qualities of a medical teacher and the qualities that a teacher has in reality from students' perspectives. Teachers should be trained to bridge this gap.

Abstract	Abiotic stressors are global limiting constraints for plant growth and development. The most severe abiotic factor for plant growth suppression is salt. Among many field crops, maize is more vulnerable to salt, which inhibits the growth and development of plants and results in low productivity or even crop loss under extreme salinity. Consequently, comprehending the effects of salt stress on maize crop improvement, while retaining high productivity and applying mitigation strategies, is essential for achieving the long-term objective of sustainable food security. This study aimed to exploit the endophytic fungal microbe;

Abstract	The intake of various types and amounts of dietary fats influences metabolic and cardiovascular health. Hence, this study evaluated the impact of routinely consumed Pakistani dietary fats on their cardiometabolic impact. For this, we made four groups of mice, each comprising 5 animals: (1) C-ND: Control mice on a normal diet, (2) HFD-DG: High-fat diet mice on a normal diet plus 10% (w/w) desi ghee, (3) HFD-O: Mice on normal diet plus 10% (w/w) plant oil (4) HFD-BG: Mice on normal diet plus 10% (w/w) banaspati ghee. Mice were fed for 16 weeks, and blood, liver, and heart samples were collected for biochemical, histological, and electron microscopic analysis. The physical factors indicated that mice fed on HFD gained more body weight than the C-ND group. Blood parameters do not show significant differences, but overall, the glucose and cholesterol concentrations were raised in the mice fed with a fat-rich diet, with the highest concentrations in the HFD-BG group. The mice fed with HFD-BG and HFD-O had more lipid droplets in the liver, compared to HFD-DG and C-ND.

Abstract	Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) remains the top among Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs). Variations in Apolipoprotein E (APOE) and Paroxonase 1 (PON1) have been associated with Myocardial Infarction (MI) in several populations. However, despite the high prevalence of CAD, no such study has been reported in the Pashtun ethnic population of Pakistan. We have conducted a two-stage (i.e., screening and validation) case-control study in which 200 cases and 100 control subjects have been recruited. In the first stage, Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) was used to screen for pathogenic variants of Myocardial Infarction (MI). In the second stage, selected variants of both APOE and PON1 genes (rs7412, rs429358, rs854560, and rs662) were analyzed through MassARRAY genotyping. Risk Allele Frequencies (RAFs) distribution and association of the selected SNPs with MI were determined using the Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. WES identified a total of 12 sequence variants in APOE and 16 in PON1. Genotyping results revealed that APOE variant rs429358 (ɛ4 allele and ɛ3/ɛ4 genotype) showed significant association in MI patients (OR = 2.11, p value = 0.03; 95% CI = 1.25–2.43); whereas no significant difference (p˃ 0.05) was observed for rs7412. Similarly, the R allele of PON1 Q192R (rs662) was significantly associated with cases (OR = 1.353, p value = 0.048; 95% CI = 0.959–1.91), with particular mention of RR genotype (OR = 1.523, p value = 0.006; 95% CI = 1.087–2.132). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that rs429358 (C allele) and rs662 (R allele) have a significantly higher risk of MI after adjustment for the conventional risk factors. Our study findings suggested that the rs429358 variant of APOE and PON1 Q192R are associated with MI susceptibility in the Pashtun ethnic population of Pakistan.

Abstract	The methanolic extract of leaves and stem of Cestrum nocturnum and Cestrum diurnum were investigated for their antioxidant and anticancer attribute through standard methods. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay was carried out to estimate the antioxidant activity of the extracts. Whereas, anticancer potential of extracts were tested against colon cancer cell line, HCT 116 and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, THP-1. Results showed that extracts of both plants exhibited a very strong antioxidant activity in a dose dependent manner. In addition, both extracts efficiently increased the cell death in two different cancer cell lines. Moreover, DNA fragmentation analysis further strengthens the anticancer potential of extracts of both types of plants. Current study, therefore, provide a preliminary data highlighting the antioxidant and anticancer activities of methanolic extract of leaves and stem of Cestrum nocturnum and Cestrum diurnum.

Abstract	Introduction Implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is an art of science. As the volume of implantation has increased worldwide, so has the rate of complications. Infection, fibrosis, lead and device erosion, lead displacement, right ventricle perforation, lead fracture, and insulation break are the common complications in the implantation process. This exposes the patient for reopening and threatens the implantation for further complication due to infection, fibrosis of veins, failure to retrieve the implanted wire, and failure to re-implant the device on the same site. We slightly changed our implantation technique to preserve the implantation site for future implantation and reduce the rate of complication in the index implantation. Methods This randomized control trial was conducted from January 2016 to September 2019 at Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Pakistan. A consecutive sampling technique was used to obtain a sample size of 602 patients keeping a 95% confidence interval and a 5% margin error. We adopted a strategy to take prick, for implantation of devices, inside the pocket, which reduces the number of sutures, hastens the procedure, prevents erosion, and minimizes the chance of subclavian crush syndrome and insulation break. We also selected the minimum possible length of leads. This will possibly decrease the chances of cumbersome fibrosis around the lead and device and will make future implantation convenient. Results There was a total of 602 procedures in the study period. About 253 (42%) procedures were done in the newly adopted strategy and 349 (58%) were performed in the conventional way. Our complication rate grossly reduces in the novel way of implantation in which we took our prick inside the pocket. Conclusion A slight modification in the implantation of CIEDs not only prevents the rate of complication in the index implantation but will also possibly preserve the site for future implantation.

Abstract	Weeds are one of the major threats to the natural environment. They are destroying native habitats, threatening native plants and animals, and choking our natural systems including rivers and forests. Aiming to explore the existing situation of weed infestation and assessing its impact, present research work was conducted in south Punjab region, focusing on District Layyah and Muzaffargarh. Weed flora of wheat crop at 3 sites i.e. Nawan Kot, Fethpur, and Karor Lal-e-son in district Layyah; and three sites (Kot Addu, Chowk Sarwar Shaheed, and Sultan Nagar) in district Muzaffargarh was observed using quadrat method. Ten quadrats measuring 1.0 m2 were randomly selected to record the data. From each quadrat soil samples (from top 3 cm) were also taken. Different ecological parameters (i. e. Frequency (%) density (%), (%), relative density (%), relative frequency (%) and important value (%) were worked out using proper formulae. Weed species related to 9 families were classified into different frequency classes. Two most important families of these sites were found Poaceae and Papilionaceae each one represented by four species. Chenopodium album, Cynodon dactylon and Anagallis arvensis were observed the most frequent species at these sites.
