To analyze the clinical outcomes and treatment strategies of patients who underwent conisation in a tertiary hospital clinic. ⋯ To detect high grade cervical lesions colposcopy guided biopsy is gold standard. Although cone biopsy should be performed related to severity of dysplasia in order to sustain the diagnosis and treatment. Contradictory results between colposcopic and cone biopsies should be considered during decision-making process.

To compare and see the association of serum Lipoprotein (a) levels in younger and older patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome compared to healthy controls. ⋯ Serum lipoprotein(a) is strongly associated with coronary vascular disease especially in patients younger than 45 years of age despite comparable LDL and HDL between cases and controls, making Lp(a) likely independent risk factor for coronary vascular disease.
-
To explore the clinical efficacy of intravitreal injection of conbercept in combination with retinal laser photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic macular edema. ⋯ Intravitreal injection of conbercept in combination with retinal laser photocoagulation performs better in improving the BCVA and central macular thickness of patients with diabetic macular edema compared to retinal laser photocoagulation and has high safety.

To assess association of Body mass index (BMI) on respiratory parameters by performing spirometry in apparently healthy adults living in the district Jamshoro and Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. ⋯ We found a significant association between body mass index and pulmonary function parameters. Obesity causes detrimental effects on respiratory system.

To determine the efficacy of probiotic (Lactobacillus Paracasei, LP-33) and compare it with cetirizine for the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis in under five year's children. ⋯ Probiotic (LP-33) was equally effective as cetirizine in under five year's children for the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis. Probiotic has additional benefit to treat allergic rhinitis without causing any major side effect in children reported by the study.
