    Editing refers to arranging the text according to the author's intention and identifying the modifications and distortions in it and restoring the text to the state in which the author himself wrote it with the help of other authentic texts and evidence. The main thing is the text. The quality of criticism and research depends on the accuracy of the text. If seen in this sense, the importance of editing becomes clear. The rules and regulations of editing are not scientific and universal in nature. Amendments may be made. In the research study of Urdu language and literature in the first half of the 20th century, the names of Hafiz Mahmood Sherani Mudavvan "Majmua e Naghz", Imtiyaz Ali Khan Arshi Mudavvan "Dewan Ghalib" and Rasheed Hassan Khan Mudavvan"Bagh-o-Bahar" are found. These important authors of Urdu have edited different types of texts and tried to explain the principles and procedures of editing in their prefaces. While reviewing, comparisons will be made so that general principles of editing different types of texts can be brought out.

    Background: The incidence of Laboratory acquired infections is on the rise despite the existence and continuous upgradation of infection prevention protocols. The objective of this study was to determine the practice of lab staff before and after carrying out an intervention in the form of health education intervention based on WHO protocols for infection prevention. Methods: This is a Quasi-experimental study carried out in three hospitals in Rawalpindi. A total of n=38 technical and non-technical lab staff participated in the study. Laboratory practices were observed by the researchers themselves for a week. Then an education session was conducted for the staff regarding the World Health Organization (WHO) standard protocols for infection control. The post-intervention data were collected after about two weeks of health education sessions. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. Paired t-test was applied to compare the mean scores of pre- and post-interventional data. Results: The laboratory staff participated in the study mostly 19(50%) belonging to the age(years) range of 20-27. The percentage of respondents having good practice of infection prevention protocols before intervention was 7.5%, after the intervention this increased to 57.9%. Paired t-test showed that the difference in practice mean score of pre- and post-interventional data was statistically significant (CI=21.55-15.33 p-value=0.001). Conclusion: Pre-intervention data showed that the practice of the staff was not completely in accordance with WHO infection prevention. After delivering the education session on WHO infection prevention protocols, there was a significant improvement in the practices of laboratory staff

    Analgesic efficacy and safety of erector spinae plane block versus serratus anterior plane block in breast surgery—a meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials

    Abstract Background Mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery are key interventions for breast cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Many undergoing breast surgery experience postoperative pain compromising their functionality and quality of life. While multiple pain management strategies are available, evidence comparing the erector spinae (ESPB) and serratus anterior plane blocks (SAPB) for improving post-surgical pain management in breast cancer surgery patients is limited. Therefore, we investigated the efficacy and safety of these two regional anesthesia techniques. Methods After PROSPERO registration, we systematically searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library until May 2024. Risk ratios (RR) were calculated for dichotomous outcomes and standard mean differences (SMD) or mean differences (MD) were computed for continuous data. RevMan Review Manager 5.4.1 was used for the data analysis and generation of forest plots as well as funnel plots. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2.0 (18) and Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines were used to appraise and evaluate the evidence (19). Results A total of 9 randomized control trials enrolling 550 patients were included. Static pain scores at 0, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h after surgery, dynamic pain scores computed at 0, 8, 12, and 24 h after surgery and area under the curve (AUC) static pain score at all time points between 0 and 24 h (SMD (HKSJ 95% CI) − 0.27 [− 0.99, 0.45]) did not significantly vary with either plane block. Postoperative morphine consumption in the first 24 h and the number of patients requesting analgesia were significantly greater in those receiving SAPB [MD: − 1.41 (95% C.I. − 2.70, − 0.13), p = 0.03] and [RR: 1.28 (95% C.I. 1.00, 1.63), p = 0.05], respectively. The time to first postoperative analgesic use was significantly greater among those administered ESPB [MD: 1.55 h, (95% C.I. 1.02, 2.09), p < 0.01]. Patient satisfaction scores and the incidence of nausea and vomiting were similar across both groups. Conclusions While pain scores with either block are comparable, ESPB reduces postoperative morphine consumption and may be the favorable option in breast cancer patients undergoing surgery
