The objectives of this study were to find out the frequency of anxiety and depression in medical students and various coping mechanisms adopted by them to identify the coping trends and to stress the need of equipping these students with positive coping tools to deal with anxiety and depression. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based observational study was conducted on a population of 500 medical students of Federal Medical and Dental College, Islamabad. The duration of the study was three months. By using the WHO sample size calculator, taking the confidence level 95%, anticipated population proportion 70% and absolute precision required 7%, the sample size was calculated at 165. The samples were collected by non-probability consecutive sampling via a questionnaire. In the study, two instruments were used: 1) Aga Khan University Anxiety and Depression Scale (AKUADS), and 2) Brief Cope Inventory. ---Continue

Aim: Though standard laparoscopy has increasingly gained acceptance as the surgical therapy for ovarian cancer, decreasing laparoscopy sequence number remains a significant issue for bigger ovarian tumors. Thus, the goal of this review is to contrast the clinical results of solitary laparoscopy for eliminating large ovarian cysts (16 cm) to those of laparotomy and 3-port laparoscopy. Methods: Our current research included 96 individuals with large ovarian cysts (>16 cm) which had single-port, 3-port, or else laparotomy. Patients’ health records, perioperative surgical results, postoperatively score, and complications were all evaluated and discussed retrospectively. Our current research was conducted at Services Hospital Lahore from May 2020 to April 2021. Results: 1-port laparoscopy produced improved perioperative results and less postoperative discomfort compared to 3-port laparoscopy and laparotomy. The duration during process and waking up in the morning was significantly shorter in 1-port laparoscopy than in laparotomy and three-port laparoscopy (18.548.17 vs 28.428.58 vs 23.558.77, P0.02). The hospital admission was substantially lower in single-port laparoscopy set than in extra two sets (5.070.6 vs 6.472.64 vs 5.820.84, P0.002). Furthermore, single-port laparoscopy resulted in lower postoperative discomfort notches than laparotomy and 3-port laparoscopy. Conclusion: Single-port laparoscopy is indeed very secure and effective method for large ovarian cysts, only with benefits of the shorter surgery duration, less anticipated blood loss, a shorter hospital stays, a reduced spillage rate, and lesser postoperative discomfort.
