    Abstract Objective: To determine the association of serum kisspeptin, leptin, and other hormonal profile with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) in infertile male subjects.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Australian Concept Infertility Medical Center, and Ziauddin University, Karachi from March 2018 to March 2020. The duration of the study was two years. Serum samples of 106 azoospermic participants were taken. Division of the subjects was done on a histological basis into obstructive azoospermia (OA) n=36, NOA n=70 which were further divided into spermatid maturation arrest (SMA), n=41, and sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS) n=29. Serum kisspeptin and leptin were measured by ELISA (Cloud-Clone Corp).
    Results: The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (p<0.01), luteinizing hormone (LH) (p<0.01), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (p<0.01), and estradiol (p<0.01) was significantly high in the NOA group. However, kisspeptin was significantly decreased (p<0.01) in the NOA group. In the multivariate analysis after adjusting for other variables, the results showed that with the decrease in kisspeptin, the chances of being NOA were increased. Moreover, with the increase in Leptin, FSH, LH, and TSH the chances of being NOA were significantly enhanced.
    Conclusion: Serum kisspeptin, leptin, FSH, LH, TSH, and estradiol can be a potential marker for NOA in terms of better diagnosis, targeted therapeutic management, and the decision to proceed with surgical intervention.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the perceptions of mentors, mentees, administrators (including chairs, co-chairs, and coordinators of the mentoring program), and leadership regarding the Faculty Mentorship Program at AKU School of Nursing and Midwifery (AKU-SONAM). Additionally, the study aimed to explore the strengths and challenges faced by the program.
    Methods: A qualitative exploratory study on mentorship was carried out in AKU-SONAM from February till December 2021. In this study we conducted purposive criterion sampling. The study participants included mentors, mentees, administrators, and the dean of AKU-SONAM. An interview guide was developed, validated, and reviewed by experts. After piloting, two focused group discussions and three in-depth interviews were conducted.
    Results: Thematic analysis of the data revealed the following themes: "Nurturing growth and development in mentoring relationships," "Establishing a strong foundation for effective mentoring," and "Opportunities for growth and development through overcoming challenges."
    Conclusion: The participants expressed confidence in the existing support system, leadership, and mentorship program at the institution. They highlighted the significance of regular monitoring to recognize areas of improvement uphold high standards and ensure excellence.

    Abstract Objective: To conduct an on line Flipped Class Room (FCR) to facilitate synchronous (in class activity) and asynchronous learning [Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)] and acquire feedback of the learning experience from medical students at Aga Khan University.
    Methods: This interventional study was conducted with year II students undergoing Endocrine Reproduction Module at the Aga Khan University during April 13 to May 22, 2020. Pre reading material and pretest was shared with the students via Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) one week before the class. Microsoft Teams was used to conduct online session by two facilitators, where student discussion on case studies was encouraged. A WhatsApp group was created with the facilitators to respond to any student queries. The session was recorded and later uploaded on VLE. Posttest and a student satisfaction survey was conducted at the end of the session.
    Results: The average score for the pretest and posttest was 19.67 ± 1.37 and 24.60 ± 1.34 respectively (p value <0.05). The learner curve showed an increase in the knowledge learned by 4.93 points (p value <0.05). Fifty-five percent students felt that placement of session was appropriate and were satisfied with the instructions and expected outcomes, received constructive feedback for improvement and generated positive attitude towards learning.
    Conclusions: The innovative model of FCR through facilitation of synchronous and asynchronous learning empowered student's engagement and interactive learning. Students perceived this as a great learning experience which they enjoyed with positive reinforcement from feedback given by the facilitators. They suggested continuation of this model for further learning sessions in other modules of undergraduate medical education at Aga Khan University.

    Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of female infertility in Pakistan is currently estimated at 22%, and emerging research suggests that vitamin D (VD) deficiency (VDD) may play a significant role in influencing female fertility. The focus of this study was to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) patterns within the VD binding protein (VDBP). The study aimed to explore dysregulated pathways and gene enrichment through an interaction network analysis, specifically focusing on the interplay between the VD receptor (VDR) and VDBP in females experiencing unexplained infertility (UI) coupled with VDD.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on VD-deficient, fertile, and UI female subjects. VDBP and VDR were assessed by enzyme-linked immunoassay and genotyping performed. FunRich (version 3.1.3; http://funrich.org/index.html) was employed for analysis of the identified proteins: VDR and VDBP and with their mapped gene datasets, gene enrichment, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.
    Results: The mean VD and VDR values of infertile females were significantly lower than those of fertile females. VDBP in infertile females (median (IQR)): 296.05 (232.58-420.23)) was lower than that of fertile females (469.9 (269.57-875.55), (p=0.01)). On sequence analysis, a mutation rs 4588 SNP (Thr 436 Lys) was found in exon 11 of the VDBP gene of UI females, but no mutation in exons 8 and 9 of the VDR gene, with some insignificant intronic variants, was observed. The proteins such as plasma membrane estrogen receptor signaling pathway (p < 0.001), VDR, SMAD3, NCOR1, CREBBP, NCOA1, STAT1, GRB2, PPP2CA, TP53, and NCOA2 were enriched after biological pathway grouping when VDR was made the focused gene and directly interacting with VDBP.
    Conclusion: The females with UI exhibited significantly low VD, VDBP, and VDR. The plasma membrane estrogen receptor signaling pathway was enriched in VDD infertile females.

    Abstract Faculty mentoring is relatively new in health sciences literature. Faculty mentors are considered to have multiple roles including being a supervisor, teacher, or a coach. Little or no attention to formal mentoring of faculty allows faculty to seek informal mentoring, creating a risk of unexpected outcome. There is dearth of literature with respect to formal mentoring programs from the subcontinent. Although, informal faculty mentoring has been in place but there is no standard faculty mentorship model to be followed at Aga Khan University Medical College (AKU-MC). An observational study was conducted in September 2021 at AKU MC with convenient sampling to share the perceptions of the AKU-MC faculty mentors in a faculty mentorship workshop so that further advanced level faculty development workshops could be planned in this area. Twenty-two faculty mentors participated to share their perspectives on the responsibilities of faculty mentor, faculty mentee and the institution to see faculty grow and to have a sustainable mentorship programme. Challenges faced by the faculty mentors during the process of mentorship were also discussed. Majority of the participants emphasized on the role of the faculty mentor to be supportive, guiding, reflective and formative (respond to the emotional needs, encourage, effective communication, know own limitations, observe, provide feedback). Faculty mentor role modeling, ability to maintain confidentiality, creating and maintaining mentor-mentee relationship, availability of framework of formal mentoring in an academic institution and opportunities within the academic setting to learn mentorship were the main challenges of being a faculty mentor. The process provided valuable training and education to the faculty for the development and strengthening of formal mentoring program. Faculty recommended that institutions should provide the opportunity for development of junior faculty mentors by organizing capacity building activities.
