Many recent studies indicate that testosterone, which can increase muscle mass and strength, stimulates erythropoiesis, promotes competitive behavior, and enhances sporting performance of female athletes. Methods: The comparative study was designed and conducted in which a sample of female athletes (n=40) who had been diagnosed with PCOS by a qualified gynecologist based on clinical features and lab tests. At the same time, a healthy group of female athletes (n=40) was selected from participants of the same population and having regular menses and showing no clinical features of PCOS. The main objectives of the study included: 1) to compare both the groups of female athletes on clinical features of PCOS, and 2) to compare both the groups on self-perceived sports performance. Data was collected from The Universi...

It causes infertility among females by disturbing the ovulatory process during menstruation. It impairs the female endocrine system and causes an increased level of male hormones. It has multiple etiologies such as genetic, environmental, life style but the pathogenesis is not clear. Molecular pathways and key players involved are yet ambiguous. It is polygenic with multiple etiologies and multiple symptoms. PCOS arise during puberty and a marked feature is insulin resistance. Awareness regarding PCOS among females is very less and they are unaware mostly about this condition. More researches are required for awareness regarding management of PCOS through life style modification such as diet, physical activity. Diagnosis and treatment should also be done timely at an early phase.

Proper monitoring of dengue cases is necessary for its early diagnosis and prevention, especially in developing countries with limited resources. Our study aims to use some hematological parameters as Early Diagnostic Indicators in Acute Dengue Infection which can help reduce mortality and morbidity. Materials and Methods: Dengue NS1 Antigen test was used to identify 119 Dengue Patients over August-October, 2019. Hematological data from such patients was collected and analysed. Results: In our study thrombocytopenia was prominent with sensitivity based on gender distribution being 86% for males and 76% for females. According to age, distribution thrombocytopenia had a sensitivity of up to 81% in the younger age group and 80% in the older age group. The other prominent findings in younger age groups were lymphopenia, neutropenia, and monocytopenia with a sensitivity of 55%, 43%, and 24% respectively. Lymphopenia and neutropenia had si...

This qualitative research depends on a field study and a descriptive analysis. This importance is due to three aspects: The first is the ta’bîr courses of materials prescribed in any Arabic language learning institutes to develop students’ four skills. The second is that lexicons are tools for teaching and learning the Arabic language, especially in the subject matter of ta’bîr.

The results indicate that language acquisition is the most important of that knowledge. Furthermore, in acquiring the Arabic language, many factors are linguistic and non-linguistic. Dictionaries are considered one of the primary tools in language acquisition in studying the subject matter of ta’bîr.

Methodology: The knowledge of patients concerning pulmonary TB visiting Shifa International Hospital over a period of six months was evaluated by using a pre-validated questionnaire established by the researchers and piloted beforehand. A total of 254 adults were chosen at random and were questioned regarding their knowledge of TB. Patients who had active TB, had a history of TB or were medical professionals were excluded. Results: Out of 254 subjects, 120 (47.24%) were males and 134 (52.76%) were females. The highest number of participants in order of education were: illiterate (n=53;20.87%), secondary (n=50;19.69%), and lastly bachelors (n=47;18.50%). The highest number of participants in financial categories were in the 10001-20000 range (n=86;33.89%), 5000-10000 range (n=45;17.72%), 20001-30000 range (n=39;15.35%), and >50000 range (n=28;11.02%).
