    Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are one of the most complex and rare neoplasms that have been discovered, with varying behavior in different cases. They mostly arise in the thoracic and abdominal cavity, the lungs, retroperitoneum, and extremities. They can also be detected in the head and neck area. IMTs have no age or gender preference which makes them tougher to anticipate. Head and neck IMTs are benign neoplasms with locally aggressive behavior and a low risk of metastatic spread. They have an unknown etiology, and they resemble malignant lesions radiologically. In this case report, we will review the case of a 40-year-old woman with an unusual IMT in the maxillary sinus that presented as a challenge in diagnosis and management.

    Abstract Beta-thalassemia is one of the most frequently occurring hematological disorders in [Removed for blinded peer-review]. Regular blood transfusion is required in almost all cases for management. However, this is associated with significant major complications like red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization. This retrospective cross-sectional is conducted to evaluate the RBC alloimmunization frequency in children with beta-thalassemia aged between 6 months and 16 years in [Removed for blinded peer-review]. Antibody screening was performed using the Dia clon3 cell antigen panel. If the screening came back positive, a detailed panel was created for the identification of specific antibody. In our sample, the frequency of RBC alloimmunization was found in 22 (26.19%) patients. Of these 22 patients, the Rhesus system was found in most patients 17 (77.3%), followed by Kell 5 (22.7%). RBC alloimmunization was significantly associated with a family history of a blood disorder and splenectomy.

    Abstract Objective: Vitamin D deficiency in Chronic Kidney Disease is a known fact, but the data regarding the prevalence and extent of vitamin D deficiency in different stages of Chronic Kidney Disease is scarce. This leads to a delay in addressing this issue. We conducted this study to assess vitamin-D deficiency in different stages of Chronic Kidney Disease to improve the evidence available to Physicians and Nephrologists which can help them better address this common finding in Chronic Kidney Disease.
    Methods: This retrospective study from a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, included adult Chronic Kidney Disease patients who had their serum 25 Hydroxy vitamin D levels done. The patients were classified according to stages of Chronic Kidney Disease using Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate values. Appropriate statistical tests were performed to find a correlation between the severity of vitamin D deficiency in different stages of Chronic Kidney Disease with a statistically significant
    Results: In total, 148 patients were included in the study. All patients had serum 25 Hydroxy vitamin D levels less than 30 ng/ml. The severity of vitamin D deficiency was observed to increase progressively from stage 3A Chronic Kidney Disease through stage 5. Vitamin D levels in Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 were significantly greater than in Chronic Kidney Disease stages 4 and 5 (
    Conclusion: All Chronic Kidney Disease patients in our study either had vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. In addition, we observed a significant decrease in vitamin D levels from Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 to stage 5. Greater serum phosphate levels were detected in stage 5 compared to stages 3A and 3B.

    Abstract About 40% of the people with the obsessive-compulsive-disorder do not experience the desired outcome after the existing treatment, and its several side effects were reported. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of alternative drugs and assess the possibility of their use as treatment options for obsessive-compulsive-disorder. The Scientific databases PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Directory of Open Access Journals, MedRxiv and BioRxiv, were searched from inception to March 2022, using appropriate search strategies for each drug and following the Prisma guidelines 2020. Studies were selected according to the already set criteria and assessed for bias. Data were extracted, and descriptive and continuous data were analyzed and presented as frequency/percentage and mean. A total of 16 observational and interventional studies were included for data extraction. The studies focused on four drugs, Psilocybin (n=4), Cannabis (n=7), Nicotine (n=3), and Morphine (n=2), that were used to test out their effect on OCD symptoms. Overall, the majority of the studies showed promising results by documenting a reduction in Y-BOCS scores. However, few subjects, specifically those using nicotine or Cannabis, did not affect their condition or self-reported worsening symptoms. Few side effects were also noticed. This systematic review found that the drugs mostly showed a positive response. All Psilocybin and morphine users, 88.2% and 74.1% of the nicotine and Cannabis users, respectively, reported experiencing the positive effect of these drugs, indicating that these drugs have the potential to be used in the management of OCD. However, further research is required in this arena to thoroughly understand the mechanism of action by which these drugs produce their therapeutic effect. Policies to destigmatize and encourage clinical trials with these drugs are crucial for exploring the use of these drugs as a treatment option for OCD.

    Abstract Measles infection, caused by the "Rubeola" virus is a highly contagious disease with outrageously fatal consequences. Initiating with a variety of symptoms including fever, cough, conjunctivitis, and runny nose, it can lead to more severe sequelae including sub-acute sclerosing pan-encephalitis which is a potentially fatal and serious complication of measles. The lackluster vaccination processes in underdeveloped areas of the world due to suboptimal immunization programs, scarce resources, and insufficient political constancy still leads to increased cases of measles and its complications. A variety of management programs including the use of several medications have been introduced according to the literature in order to counter this dreadful disease. In this review article, we focus on assessment of the previous literature and discussing the possible treatment modalities of this currently irremediable disease.
