Objectives: To assess and compare the student’s attitude to professionalism among government and private medical colleges. Research question: Are there any differences in Professionalism attitudes of students studying in government and Private medical colleges of Pakistan? Hypothesis: Professionalism attitudes of Medical students studying in government and Private medical colleges do not differ from each other. Method: A government medical college of Sargodha & a Private medical college of Lahore were chosen for the study. Study was conducted from May to June 2019. 200 Final year MBBS students were given a questionnaire named Pakistani LAMPS validated through a pilot study. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used. We applied statistical test chi square used for analysis in SPSS 21 version. Results: Out of the study participants, there were 76(38%) were male &124(62%) female. The Pakistani LAMPS had an acceptable reliability index with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.71. The items mean scores vary between (1.93+ 1.03 and 3.00+ SD 3.78, scale 1–5). The score was high significantly in Private medical college students (107/140) than Public medical college (95/140) with p value of 0.0001. Conclusion: The null hypothesis was rejected because the professionalism score of private medical college students was higher than that of government medical college students.

Background: Higher level of stress experienced by medical students has been found to have a negative effect on their cognitive learning. The first year MBBS student have to face the challenge of higher standards of course work and examination as compared to his previous school and college coursework. Moreover, student from rural background and living in hostel has to face additional challenges of coping with homesickness, hostel related and many financial problems. Aim: To determine the experience and feelings amongst First year MBBS students to the first sub stage in anatomy in different public and private medical colleges of Punjab. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore. A sample of 275 students of First year MBBS class were selected from both public and private sector of medical colleges in various cities of Punjab through convenience sampling technique. A self-administered structured questionnaire was prepared for data collection and distributed amongst First Year MBBS students. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 21. Results: The result of the study showed that 53.8% of First Year MBBS students were nervous before the first substage. Results of the study also showed that hostelites and females students were more nervous and these findings were statistically significant. Also our study showed that government medical college students were better prepared for their substage as compared to private college students and there is statistically significant difference between them (p < 0.00).

Background: Gallstones constitute for the most common causes of biliary tract diseases in the adult population. The study thus aims to describe the persistence rate of abdominal symptoms in patients after elective cholecystectomy and to understand which symptoms, improve after cholecystectomy.Methods: This observational study is based in Melmaruvatthur Medical College and Research Institute where 69 patients were a part of the study. A pre and post structured questionnaire was used to assess the decrease in the rate of symptoms. After fully informed and written consent the study participants were interviewed questioneired, examined according to the preformed and pretested proforma, patients with a clinical and ultrasonographic diagnosis of gallstones filled out a structured questionnaire on abdominal pain symptoms and functional gastrointestinal disorder before and at six months after cholecystectomy.Results: From the observed chi square value of 9.315 and p value of 0.002 which is less than 0.01 so it is declared that there is an association between the cholecystectomy and symptoms in the post-surgical group.Conclusions: The findings of the study thus suggest that while much of the findings lean toward ELC being better than DLC, the significance values show that no difference exist between the two. The study therefore states that more research is required to ascertain whether ELC or DLC is better at reducing the symptoms associated with gall bladder disease.

Background: Adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes are related to pregnancies spaced too closely together. Objective of present study was to compare the expulsion rate and complications between post placental IUCD insertion between caesarean section and vaginal delivery.Methods: This study was a prospective comparative study conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at Agartala Government Medical College over 1.5 Years (January 2016-June2017) All cases at term pregnancy delivering by caesarean section and vaginal delivery were divided into two different groups. Sample size of 105 in each group. Subjects recruited from-obstetrics OPD and casualty of Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) and GB Pant Hospital expulsion rate and complications. Comparative evaluation of Expulsion rate and complications following post placental IUCD insertion between caesarean section and vaginal delivery at the end of six months, one year and one and half year.Results: There was no significant difference in either complications between the two groups (P value-.913) or outcomes (p value-.035). Expulsion rate 18.2% following vaginal delivery compared to those with intracaesarean insertion i.e 3.8%.Conclusions: The complications associated with postplacental Intrauterine device insertion is insignificant, still the awareness, acceptance and continuation are very low. Therefore Information, education Communication activity by the field workers must be enhanced to overcome this knowledge gap.
