Eclampsia is the onset of seizures (convulsions) in a woman with pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy in which there is high blood pressure and either large amounts of protein in the urine or other organ dysfunction. This cross-sectional study was conducted among patients presenting in obstetrical clinics in different hospital. Name, age, maternal and gestational age, presence, or absence of eclampsia were noted a predefined proforma. All the data was entered and analyzed with SPSS Ver. 23.0. There were 120 patients included in this study. The mean maternal age of the patients was 28.93±2.23 years and the mean gestational age was 8.12+0.22 months. Out of 120 patients, only 7 patients had history of eclampsia. Six patients had history in previous pregnancy. None of the patients experienced further complications.

Objective: To determine the alteration in arterial blood gases values in patients with acute COPD exacerbation after using corticosteroids. Methods: This is Quasi experimental study, conducted in a period of 6 months from June to December, 2017 at Bahawalpur Victoria hospital. Results: 45.5±11.1 years is the mean age of patients. Mean paO2 and PaCO2 are 59±4.4 mmHg and 57.3±2.8 mmHg. The difference between values in beginning and end of treatment was recorded, which was highly significant. Conclusion: A significant improvement in PaO2 was noted after inhaled corticosteroid use in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD, meanwhile a significant reduction in PaCO2 was also noted.

Objective: This study is designed to strive for the elaboration of presentation and pathology of rectal cancer, and to assess the indigenous experience after complete mesorectal elimination at a basic care hospital. Methodology: To take an account of carcinoma rectum, researchers selected a sample of (200) patients which observed mesorectal excision at Allied Hospital, Faisalabad (February to August 2017). These cases reported through outpatient and in emergency departments of the hospital. We conserved the demographic history of each patient and maintained all the related information along with variables, as medical performances and demonstrations, the severity of tumour with a specific location, TNM appearance, and Duke's presentation. Additionally, we also secure the documentation of their surgical process and all those complications which appeared for further considerations during the time of treatments. We conducted all this documentation on proformas for certification. During the process of follow up session, we took the examination of each patient at two months for the first year, then for the next three years, we submitted the follow up at the interval of every four months and annually subsequently. Results: The findings of the research reported almost the same ratio (1.6: 1) of male to female. The study observed age of the patients from (14 – 70) years. We determined the site of tumour at upper one third as (25%), at the middle, one third was (30%) and lower one third was (45%). A great margin of patients that was more than (62%) belonged to Dukes B Group. We did not observe any death case prior to the operation in the course of study, though, the study recorded complications in a total number of fifty-nine (29.5%) patients. These complications mainly related to colostomy (13.0%). We monitored (5%) patients with wound infection in abdomen, anastomotic dehiscence in (1.0%), (5%) patients with infection in their urinary tract, and impotence appeared in (1.5%). Twenty percent patients reported local recurrence. Conclusion: This research claims mesorectal excision as a safe and reasonable technique for rectal cancer operation with feasible perioperative illness and has satisfactory local disease control.
