Prevalence of Pre-Diabetic State among Medical Students of Muhammad Medical College
Full text linkIntroduction: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent disease in Pakistan. Pre-Diabetes is the predisposition to diabetes. This study was conducted to identify the high-risk pre-diabetes individuals and the associated risk factors.
Methodology: A cross section al, descriptive study was conducted among medical students of Muhammad Medical College, Mirpurkhas. Total 100 were identified by using convenience sampling technique, after taking informed consent. WHO recommended procedure Oral Glucose tolerance test were performed and a face to face interview was conducted to collect information to identify associated risk factor by using closed ended pre- tested questionnaire. Data was entered and analyzed by using SPSS version 16.
Result: In total study sample of 100 patients; common age group was 20-22 years (n=49, 49%) and majority were male (n=56, 56%). Family history was present in 64% of study sample. Although all participants were disease free, results of oral glucose tolerance test showed that12% were at pre-diabetic state (FBS>110 &RBS>140). Among these 12 participants, 5(41.7%) were overweight, 4(33.3%) were obese, while 3(25%) were having normal BMI. Among this cohort of prediabetic, 75% have positive family history of diabetes, 50% spend 2-5 hour free with no physical activities, 90.9% take junk food, 91.7% take stress about their family/study and 50% have family history of obesity.
Conclusion: Results of current study showed 12% prevalence of pre-diabetic among medical students. The family history of diabetes, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, stress and use of junk foods are associated risk factors. As a preventive measure, health education should be given to all medical students particularly high-risk group.
Key Words: Pre-diabetic state, Oral glucose tolerance test, Overt Diabetes

Personality traits and investors risk behaviour: moderating role of financial literacy / Muhammad Akhtar and Muhammad Umair Malik
Full text linkThe aim of the study is to examine whether personality traits are associated with investors trading risk behaviour in stock markets. Furthermore, it establishes the association of financial literacy by employing the moderated multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that personality traits have significant influence on investors risk behaviour while financial literacy modifies the basic relationships between personality traits and investors risk behaviour. The findings also conclude that behavioural impact was not only predetermined by individuals' genetic traits but also influenced by financial literacy. The current study provides valuable insights for investors and adamant grounds for future research. The two-fold role of individuals’ personality in case of gains and losses can be of interest for researchers in the future
Evaluation of coronary stents and atherosclerosis employing optical coherence tomography and computational fluid modelling
Full text link© 2017 Dr Muhammad Umair HayatAtherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health burden worldwide and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an established treatment for this condition. Both PCI and invasive imaging techniques have evolved tremendously over the past few decades. Limitations of angiography were largely overcome, first by intra-vascular ultrasound, and then, optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is now recognized as the most sensitive and validated tool to examine the vessel lumen, plaque composition and stent-vessel wall interface.
This thesis centers on randomized, OCT trials of coronary atherosclerosis and stents. In-vivo, comparative studies of drug eluting stents were conducted to directly observe their mechanical and healing characteristics. Results of these trials subsequently laid foundation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) experiments and some illuminating observations were made around the effects of stent malapposition on intra coronary flow dynamics. It is the information of this kind that guides scientists to refine stent designs and clinicians, to improve procedural outcomes
