    Abstract Background Epilepsy is described as an enduring disposition toward recurrent unprovoked seizures and by the neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of this condition. This study aimed to find the clinical characteristics and etiology of epilepsy in children aged below two years. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of pediatric neurology, the Children's Hospital and Institute of Child Health, Multan, Pakistan, from February 2021 to July 2021. During the study period, a total of 226 children of both genders, aged below two years, presenting with epilepsy and who underwent electroencephalography (EEG) were included. Socio-demographic and clinical data along with clinical features and radiological/imaging findings were noted. Results In a total of 226 children, 121 (53.5%) were male and 105 (46.5%) female. Overall, the mean age was calculated to be 14.6±5.2 months while 107 (47.3%) children were aged between 13 to 24 months. Residential status was found to be rural in 142 (62.8%) children. Generalized seizures (both primary and secondary) were reported in 205 (90.7%) children while the remaining 21 (9.3%) children had focal seizures. The most common etiology of epilepsy was noted to be structural/metabolic in 122 (54.0%) children. Abnormal EEG findings were observed among 150 (66.4%) children. Developmental delay (p=0.0016), hypotonia (p<0.0001), microcephaly or macrocephaly (p<0.0001), abnormal brain CT or MRI (p<0.0001), and abnormal EEG findings (p=0.0161) were found to have a significant association with etiology of epilepsy. Conclusion Generalized seizures like tonic-clonic and clonic types were the most common findings among children below two years of age with epilepsy. Structural abnormalities were the most common etiology in children with epilepsy. Age between one to two years was the commonest age of onset of seizures among young children.

    Abstract A study was conducted to assess the number of limbs salvaged among diabetic patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia after infra-inguinal bypass surgeries at a low- to middle-income country (LMIC) hospital. It was a retrospective chart review of diabetic patients who underwent infra-inguinal bypass for lower leg revascularisation for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia at the Section of Vascular Surgery, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi (Pakistan) from January 2008 till April 2019. Diabetic patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia had a salvage rate of 90.5%(29/32) after infra-inguinal bypass surgery in our set up which is comparable to those described in the literature.

    Abstract Abdominal vascular injuries are the common cause of death post-trauma. These are challenging injuries to manage due to severe haemodynamic instability, other associated injuries and difficulty in accessing and controlling these deep-seated vessels. Early control of bleeding can decrease mortality in these patients. Abdominal vasculature is divided into three zones, each requiring different operative strategy for exposure. Standard vascular surgery principles of achieving proximal and distal control before exploring any haematoma are followed when managing these injuries. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta is a minimally invasive method of achieving proximal aortic occlusion. This also acts as bridge for definitive intervention or surgery. Endovascular interventions, including angioembolisation and stent-graft, have shown to improve outcomes, especially in patients with blunt abdominal trauma. Updated knowledge is necessary for all those directly involved in managing these patients. The current narrative review was planned to discusses relevant anatomy, principles, different surgical approaches and endovascular techniques to deal with these injuries.

    Abstract Endoleaks are the most common complications following endovascular aneurysm repair. Depending upon their origin, there are five types of endoleaks, types I-V, which can also be classified as direct and indirect endoleaks. Direct endoleaks (type I and III) have higher risk of aneurysm rupture due to rapid sac expansion, and require immediate correction. Indirect endoleaks ( type II, IV and V) have a relatively benign course compared to direct endoleaks. Most of them resolve with time and very few need interventions upon sac enlargement. Type V endotension is a special situation where there is sac enlargement despite no demonstrable endoleak. Proper planning and appropriate selection of stent-graft can prevent most of these endoleaks. With improvement in stent-graft technology, the incidence of endoleaks has been reduced. The current narrative review was planned to describe the pathophysiology, risk factors and treatment options for each type of endoleak.

    Abstract In humans, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is linked to small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and glioblastoma. Receptor kinase inhibitors against EGFR have become a standard treatment option for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer patients, and even for those with EGFR mutations or resistance. About 2734 FDA-approved medication compounds were subjected to virtual screening for EGFR kinase inhibitory activity. The top 30 molecules were chosen based on the binding affinity scores and subjected to extra-precision docking and binding free energy analysis. The ADMET profile of the top three hit molecules was verified to confirm their druggability nature. Top three hits- compound 1047 (ZINC000001550477), 1302 (ZINC00003781952), and 2332 (ZINC000019632618) were identified on account of their MMGBSA binding affinity values. The top three hit compounds were subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for 100 ns. The dynamic nature of the ligand-protein complex was analyzed which corroborated the results of molecular docking and MMGBSA analysis studies. All the top three hits were further subjected to steered MD studies for testing the strength of these ligand-receptor binding in the presence of an external force. Compound 2332 (ZINC000019632618) was identified as the best hit molecule that can be used as a lead to develop newer derivatives of EGFR kinase inhibitors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
