To compare frequency of caesarean section in singleton primary-para women induced at 39 week and its comparison with conventional management. The other objective was comparison of perinatal and neonatal outcomes. ⋯ No significant difference was observed in frequencies of CS, Foetal, Neonatal, and Maternal outcomes.

To assess the effects of in-bed cycling (IBC) combined with high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on arterial oxygen and respiratory dynamics in patients with severe respiratory failure (RF). ⋯ IBC combined with HFNC can significantly improve arterial oxygen levels, lung function, and respiratory dynamics in patients with severe RF. IBC in combination with HFNC is associated with shorter stay time in the ICU, reduced of ICU-acquired weakness, and better physical recovery of patients.

To apply the more accurate technique for mandibular superimposition and provide a valuable reference for the assessment of mandibular tooth movement and condylar remodeling before and after orthodontic treatment. ⋯ All mandibular superimposition procedures, including the voxel- and surface-based ones using the mandibular ramus as a reference, have acceptable surface errors (< 0.20 mm), indicating the good reliability of these techniques. Under the specified conditions, surface-based mandibular superimposition appears to yield a higher degree of precision compared with the voxel-based technique.

Ataxia is usually caused by cerebellar pathology or a decrease in vestibular or proprioceptive afferent input to the cerebellum. It is characterized by uncoordinated walking, truncal instability, body or head tremors, uncontrolled coordination of the hands, dysarthria, and aberrant eye movements. The objective of the current investigation was to identify the underlying genetic cause of the hereditary ataxia that affects the Pakistani population. ⋯ The current study broadens the mutation spectrum of several hereditary ataxia types and suggests the next generation sequencing in conjunction with clinical research for a more accurate diagnosis of overlapping phenotypes of this disorder in the Pakistani population.

To compare and analyze the clinical effectiveness of conventional puncture hematoma drainage and stereotactic robot-guided puncture hematoma drainage in managing intracerebral hemorrhage. ⋯ Stereotactic robot-guided puncture hematoma drainage is a dependable and safe operative method to treat patients who had intracerebral hemorrhage, resulting in various benefits such as short length of operation, less injury, less inflammatory reaction, high hematoma clear efficiency and satisfactory recovery of neurological function.
