Bridging the Gap: The Need to Integrate Basic and Clinical Sciences in Undergraduate Medical Education
Full text linkIn the times where medicine is progressing at an unparalleled pace, the segregation of basic and clinical sciences in undergraduate medical education is still a prevalent and sometimes disregarded problem. A gap has been created by the conventional compartmentalized teaching of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and other core sciences that are disconnected from their therapeutic application. This has caused a lacuna between the knowledge which students gain during their preclinical years and the skills they must use during their clinical rotation

Use of Dental Loupes and its Association with Musculoskeletal Problems Amongst Dentists in Pakistan
Full text linkDental loupes are a new ongoing advancement in dentistry. They are being widely used by many clinicians all over the world, which has improved treatment outcomes as well as working conditions for dentists. In this letter to the editor, we aim to highlight the importance of dental loupes in the routine practice of dentists, especially those who suffer from musculoskeletal problems including cervical pain and back pain. Musculoskeletal problems have been a common occurrence in the dental profession and there is a dire need for it to be addressed amongst clinicians. The use of dental loupes provides us with a solution to prevent it from reaching an extreme state

Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma at Birth: A Case Report and Detailed Analysis
Full text linkRenal tumours in infants and children, ranging from benign to highly malignant, present a significant medical challenge and constitute approximately 3% of all kidney tumours in neonates. This study focuses on congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN), the most common renal tumour in neonates. We present a case of a full-term neonate born with a palpable abdominal mass, diagnosed as the cellular subtype of CMN. Typically benign, CMN often appears as a symptomless abdominal mass without cystic elements. The neonate underwent a radical left nephroureterectomy, and a histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
Despite its generally benign nature, CMN can lead to serious complications, necessitating early surgical intervention. Our case, 18 months post-operation, shows no evidence of recurrence, underscoring the importance of regular surveillance in managing this rare renal tumour in neonates. This review discusses the diagnostic modalities, subtypes, genetic implications, and varying clinical outcomes associated with CMN, contributing to the understanding and management of this rare pediatric condition
Challenges in Distinguishing Neuro-Behcets Disease from Other Neurological Conditions. A case report from Pakistan
Full text linkNeuro-Behcet's Disease (NBD) is a rare complication of Behcet's Disease, being reported in approximately 5% of cases. This case study details a 36-year-old man with Behcet's Disease who has developed acute neurological symptoms, including right arm weakness, vision disturbance, facial numbness, and intermittent gait disturbance. The patient had a history of recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers and episodes of uveitis. Diagnostic imaging revealed characteristic findings such as perilesional vasogenic edema and nodular enhancement. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed elevated protein levels and neutrophils, consistent with NBD. However, the scarcity of screening and specific diagnostic tests makes it difficult to diagnose NBD in the early stage. Hence, it is realized that the complexities in NBD demand a multidisciplinary approach where advanced practice nurses, rheumatologists, neurologists, and infectious disease experts can work together to achieve early diagnosis and effective management for optimizing prognosis and enhancing the quality of life. This case also underscores the need for ongoing multispecialty care in the long-term management of NBD
