Full textAbstract:
Abstract Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is an advanced subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) with limited therapeutic opportunities. Here, we applied an unbiased systems-based modeling approach called Kinome Regularization (KiR) to identify candidate kinase inhibitors (KIs) for the treatment of CRPC. KiR is a method of target deconvolution that harnesses the polypharmacology of KIs to identify critical kinases involved in a specific cellular activity (i.e., cell proliferation). By computationally integrating the results of a functional drug screen with prior biochemical knowledge, we generated KiR models for a panel of PCa cell lines that predict KIs effective at abrogating CRPC cell growth and proliferation. Two predicted KIs (PP121 and SC-1) showed significant inhibition of PCa cell growth and kinase-mediated growth factor signaling in vitro and in primary subcutaneous tumors. However, therapy resistance emerged in bone metastases, as identified by analysis in a 3D in vitro engineered bone mimetic environment and in tumors implanted in mouse bones. A combination of PP121 and SC-1 with standard-of-care chemotherapy overcame the resistance, enhancing both tumor response and mouse survival. These results suggest that combining multi-targeted KIs with chemotherapy may represent an effective strategy for CRPC treatment. Overall, our findings demonstrate the application of a multidisciplinary strategy that blends bench science with machine-learning approaches for rapidly identifying KIs that result in desired phenotypic effects.

Full textAbstract:
The generation of large volumes of municipal solid waste is a major issue of concern. As municipal authorities struggle for its appropriate management, it has been realized that the issue cannot be addressed through technology alone and that public participation is a key factor for success, especially concerning waste segregation, reuse, and recycling at source. It has also been realized that students can play a major role in taking this forward in society and contribute towards achieving long-term sustainable development goals. However, this is possible only if they are aware, have the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitude, and are motivated to adopt environmentfriendly practices. The present study was conducted at Pushpa Gujral Science City, Punjab, with school students, both, from rural and urban areas, who visited Science City during the study period to assess their perception, understanding, and behaviour towards environment and sustainable development, with a focus on municipal solid waste management. A questionnaire-based approach was adopted. The study indicates that though awareness levels are adequate, especially among high and higher secondary school students, however, adoption of appropriate practices and participatory action is urgently required. Though 80% of respondents agreed to the collective responsibility of government and public for municipal solid waste management (especially w.r.t. reduction in the volume of waste generated and source segregation), however, >10% believed that they could not contribute at the individual level. This points out the need for an attitudinal change. Further, 10% of the urban students also informed that they had initiated waste segregation at the household level but it was discontinued because the garbage collectors remixed the waste in their waste collection carts. The family structure had no significant impact (p>0.05) on household-level waste management practices. Knowledge about Sustainable Development Goals among students is also abysmally low (4%). The study has brought out that certain government programs have percolated to the grassroots to some extent which has contributed towards improving awareness levels. No significant variation was observed among urban and rural students. The study points out the need for further generation of data across various economic groups to help to design intensive targeted programs.

Malaria is a vector borne disease which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. It is one of the major diseases in the category of infectious diseases. The survival and bionomics of malaria is affected by environmental factors such as climatic, demographic and land-use/land-cover etc. Currently, a very few under developing countries are using Geo-informatics approaches to control this disease. Gujrat a district of Pakistan, is still under threat of malaria disease. Current research is carried on malaria incidents obtained from District Executive Officer of Health Gujrat. The objective of this study was to explore the spatio-temporal patterns of malaria in district Gujrat and to identify the areas being affected by Malaria. Furthermore, it has been also analyzed the relationship between malaria incident and environmental factors in highly favorable zones. Data is analyzed based on spatial and temporal patterns using (Moran’s&nbsp;I). Moreover cluster and hot spots analysis were performed on the incident data. This study shows positive correlation with rainfall, vegetation index, population density and water bodies; while it shows positive and negative correlation with temperature in different seasons. However, variation between amount of vegetation and water bodies were observed. Finding of this research can help the decision makers to take preventive measures and reduce the morbidity and mortality related with malaria in Gujrat, Pakistan.

The biggest health disaster of the 21st century hit the world in Nov-2019 in the Hubei Province of China. The present study focused on the role of socio-cultural practices in the COVID-19 spread. Further geographical mobility discussed as a reason for the spread. It is a qualitative study based on observations, key informants interviews, and desk research. The study revealed three main elements that bring Coronavirus to Gujrat, return of migrant laborers, and pilgrimages, especially from Iran and Saudi Arabia. The paper highlights the role of law enforcement agencies in the implementation of government policies to control the Corona spread. The role of religious institutions carries a significant value as paper research shows how people used the Mosques to get spiritual strength. The study founds that local socio-cultural practices became a major factor behind the high number of Corona cases in Gujrat. Cultural practices and facetious attitudes play a supporting role to spread COVID19 in Gujrat.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: This study examines the relationship of socio-economic characteristics of start-ups with their size in Gujarat, India. It also assesses the determinants affecting the annual sale of start-ups.
Methods: It includes primary information based on a survey of 120 founders of start-ups. Linear and semi-log linear regression models have been applied to assess the determinants of start-ups. Probit regression models have been considered to assess the factors affecting the annual sale of the start-ups.
Results: Stage of start-up, the participation of founders in conferences, educational qualification, and new products launched by start-ups, professional connections of founders, source of funding, and support from incubator/accelerator/supporting organizations are found crucial determinants of start-up size in Gujarat. The annual sales of the start-ups are positively associated with stage of start-up, support from a mentor, team members, founder's academic qualification, and collaboration with national or international organizations, unskilled workers.
Implications: Technology transfer and commercialization, development of new products, government regulations, the requirement of costumers, free rights for entrepreneurs, appropriate financial support for new entrepreneurs, transparency and clarity in government policies, the establishment of high-tech start-ups, and development of digital infrastructure, increase in R&D spending in research academia, and association of research institutions with entrepreneurs would be conducive to create an appropriate start-ups ecosystem and to reduce regional development disparities across Indian states. Subsequently, it would be helpful to increase sustainable development in India.
Originality: This study has used primary information of 120 founders of start-ups to assess the determinants, and the factors affecting annual sales of start-ups using the regression model in, Gujrat, India. Thus, it has an empirical contribution to the body of knowledge.
Limitations: This study could not provide rational justifications on most factors that show an insignificant impact on start-ups due to the small sample size. Further research, therefore, may be considered to identify the association of start-up size with the variables using a large sample size in India.

The current study uses a constructivist epistemological stance and a qualitative research design. This research aims to explore the emotional experiences of the family members of irregular emigrants left behind in the rural areas of district Gujrat, Pakistan. This study is a part of a larger research project. The present research's target population comprises the male family members of the irregular emigrants in the rural areas of district Gujrat. For the present study, a snowball sampling technique has been used to select the respondents because it was complicated to identify irregular emigrants due to their hidden nature. In the first phase of the data collection, some male family members of the emigrants were contacted working in a public sector organization in district Gujrat with the principal researcher. Later on, these initial contacts facilitated the chief researcher to approach various family members of the irregular emigrants in the peripheral villages of Gujrat city. The fieldwork comprised in-depth interviews that were started with a broader discussion on the issue of irregular migration. The initial four in-depth interviews were analyzed parallel, and it led to the emergence of new themes for further interviews. A total of thirteen in-depth interviews were conducted until saturation. Three major themes emerged at the time of border crossing, family gatherings on social events and advice for the aspirants' migrants. Keywords: Irregular Migration, Emotions, Family Left Behind, Border Crossing, Pakistan.

Full textAbstract:
To study the accumulation and contamination of heavy metals (i.e., Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn) in soil, air, and water, few insect species were assayed as ecological indicators. Study area comes under industrial zone of district Gujrat of Punjab, Pakistan. Insects used as bioindicators included a libellulid dragonfly (Crocothemis servilia), an acridid grasshopper (Oxya hyla hyla), and a nymphalid butterfly (Danaus chrysippus) near industrial zone of Gujrat. Accumulation of Cd was highest in insect species followed by Cu, Cr, Zn, and Ni atp<0.05. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HACA) was carried out to study metal accumulation level in all insects. Correlation and regression analysis confirmed HACA observations and declared concentration of heavy metals above permissible limits. Metal concentrations in insects were significantly higher near industries and nallahs in Gujrat and relatively higher concentrations of metals were found in Orthoptera than Odonata and Lepidoptera. The total metal concentrations in insects were pointed significantly higher at sites S3 (Mid of HalsiNala), S9 (End of HalsiNala), and S1 (Start of HalsiNala), whereas lowest value was detected at site S6 (Kalra Khasa) located far from industrial area. HACA indicates that these insect groups are potential indicators of metal contamination and can be used in biomonitoring.

Water harvesting systems are traditional technologies that have met the needs of local populations for many centuries indicating the systems are clearly sustainable. It is simply defined as a method for inducing, collecting, storing and conserving local surface run-off for future productive use. It is one of the oldest and most commonly used sustainable water management systems in India. There are various types of systems to harvest rainwater in India ranging from very simple to the complex industrial systems. Examples of traditional rainwater systems in India include bamboo pipes and Apatani systems of eastern Himalayas, Ghul of western Himalayas, Zabo and Cheo-ozihi of north eastern India, Dongs, Garh and Dara of Brahmaputra valley, Kund, Khadin, Talabs, Beri, Johad, Baoli etc. of Thar desert and Gujrat, the Havelis of Jabalpur, bandh and bandhulia of Satna, virda of Gujarat, ahar-pynes of Bihar, Eri and Kulam of eastern coastal plains, Jackwells of islands, most of which showed immense structural simplicity and high efficiency. Almost all forts in India, built in different terrains and climatic conditions, had elaborate arrangements for drinking water. Most of the old temples in south India built centuries ago have large tanks in their premises. These tanks are either fed by harvested rain water or by tapping underground springs. The traditional water-wisdom at all levels of the society ensured adequate availability of water for all, which in turn, formed the basis for all round development and prosperity. We should again learn and comprehend the ancient knowledge and apply it in our modern society to get rid of the present water stressed condition

Examples of traditional rainwater systems in India include bamboo pipes and Apatani systems of eastern Himalayas, Ghul of western Himalayas, Zabo and Cheo-ozihi of north eastern India, Dongs, Garh and Dara of Brahmaputra valley, Kund, Khadin, Talabs, Beri, Johad, Baoli etc. of Thar desert and Gujrat, the Havelis of Jabalpur, bandh and bandhulia of Satna, virda of Gujarat, ahar-pynes of Bihar, Eri and Kulam of eastern coastal plains, Jackwells of islands, most of which showed immense structural simplicity and high efficiency. Almost all forts in India, built in different terrains and climatic conditions, had elaborate arrangements for drinking water. Most of the old temples in south India built centuries ago have large tanks in their premises. These tanks are either fed by harvested rain water or by tapping underground springs. The traditional water-wisdom at all levels of the society ensured adequate availability of water for all, which in turn, formed the basis for all round development and prosperity. We should again learn and comprehend the ancient knowledge and apply it in our modern society to get rid of the present water stressed condition

Objectives: To study the prevalence and demographic correlates of depression, anxiety and stress among university students.
Study Design: Correlational Research Design
Place and Duration of Study: Data was collected from University of Gujrat, Gujrat between 6 February, 2019 to, 5 April 2019.
Material and Methods: A sample of 400 students selected by random sampling technique were approached from two departments namely Psychology and Environmental Sciences which were randomly selected from Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Sciences respectively. Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-42 (DASS-42) along with demographic sheet and informed consent forms were administered.
Results: Prevalence of moderate to extremely severe level of depression, anxiety, and stress as 54.8%, 73.5%, and 44.3% respectively was found among university students. Depression, anxiety, and stress were found to be positively and significantly related, having high Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability coefficients. Among demographic variables, type of study group significantly predicted level of depression, anxiety, and stress among students. Age and income significantly predicted level of depression, while the former also contributed in anxiety. However, gender was significant predictor of stress only among university students.
Conclusion: The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress was high among university students in Gujrat. There is a need for launching of counseling and preventive interventions to halt psychiatric disorders at early stages among university students.

Full textAbstract:
Background & Aim - ‘Katlu’ or ‘Battrisu’ is a traditional Gujrati preparation consisting of 32 herbs and is given to lactating mothers. With globalization and exposure to varied cuisines, diet patterns in urban areas in India have changed considerably. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine whether consumption of ‘katlu’ and knowledge about it, has changed over three generations. Methodology - Practices related to ‘katlu’ consumption were examined across three generations within the same family; lactating mothers (n = 79), their mothers/ mothers-in-law (n = 77), and their grandmothers/ grandmothers-in-law (n = 57). Participants were recruited by snowball sampling from three cities – Mumbai, Maharashtra state, and Junagadh and Ahmedabad in Gujarat State. Results - More than half of participants from all three generations were aware of ‘katlu’ and knew how it is prepared. Among the participants, 98.2% of new mothers and all participants from the two older generations had a favourable opinion about ‘katlu’. Percent participants who consumed ‘katlu’ were slightly higher among grandmothers (70.9%) as compared to 64.9% mothers/ mothers-in-law and 65.8% new mothers. Conclusion - These results suggest a declining trend for consumption. There is a need for further research into the medicinal benefits of ‘katlu’ and other such herbal preparations and to bring this knowledge to consumers and create public awareness about their benefits. Keywords: katlu, battrisu, lactation, galactagogues, polyherbal formulation, traditional food.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not Gujari learners tend to make a connection between L2 forms and their L1 equivalents. They accomplish this by transmitting all semantic and conceptual knowledge from L1 to L2. This trend can be observed even when L2 lexemes share a single L1 translation. Consequently, second language learners may demonstrate usages distinct from those of native speakers and/or be less capable of discerning the nuances of word pairs that share the same L1 translation. For example, the word pairs ‘give’ and ‘donation’ are translated into deo (دیو) in Gujari and the Gujari learners are liable to commit an error and use the word pairs interchangeably. The present study investigates the influence of Gujari on learning English lexemes by using group-guided conversation. Five-word pairs are used in the context of education to know the semantic and conceptual influence of an already learned language. The results which were validated by the retrospective process show that Gujari learners have a poor understanding of English word pairs and they were found using them interchangeably and mapping the already learned concepts in their native Gujari equivalent(s). They tend to transfer the already learned concepts in a single lexeme into English word pairs that have distinctive concepts and different nuances of meanings for the native speakers as in the aforementioned example of ‘give’ and ‘donation’ both having one Gujari equivalent which is ‘deo’ (دیو) and this word ‘deo’ was found encompassing two distinctive concepts of English word pairs ‘give’ and 'donation’.

Objective: To compare and predict the irrational beliefs and cognitive functioning among depressed and non-depressed adults in Gujrat, Pakistan.
Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Zulfiqar Hospital, Akram Hospital and Aziz Bhatti Hospital, Gujrat and Department of Psychology, the University of Gujrat from Dec 2017 to Mar 2018.
Methodology: The data was collected from 200 adults, 100 depressed adults and 100 non-depressed adults using consecutive sampling. The non-depressed adults with no past psychiatric history were recruited from the community. The irrational beliefs were assessed using the Evaluative beliefs scale, and cognitive functioning was measured using the Montreal cognitive assessment scale.
Results: The independent sample t-test indicated that there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) in the irrational beliefs of depressed and non-depressed adults, and the irrational beliefs of depressed were more (37.83 ± 8.12) than the nondepressed adults (4.33 ± 4.64). The comparison of cognitive functioning of the depressed and non-depressed was also significantly different (p<0.001). The cognitive functioning of depressed adults was poorer (12.44 ± 3.85) than the nondepressed adults (26.92 ± 2.55). Further-more, irrational beliefs predict cognitive functioning [R²=0.729; F (1,198) = 532.763, p<0.001].
Conclusion: The study findings indicated a difference in the irrational beliefs and cognitive functioning of depressed and nondepressed adults. Further, the depressed had more irrational beliefs and worsened cognitive functioning.

Full textAbstract:
The large spatial variability in monsoon rainfall over India demands for regional models for predicting the seasonal rainfall. Hence, models were developed for predicting seasonal (June-September) rainfall of three regions (north, middle and south) of Gujarat using multiple regression technique. The monthly weather data of 30 years of Anand (1980-2009), 22 years (1987-2009) of Navsari and 27 years (1983-2009) of SK Nagar were used. The models were validated with independent data set of four year (2006-2009). The best models were selected based on higher R2 and lower model error. Four models were obtained; 2 for Anand (middle Gujarat) and one each for SK Nagar (north Gujarat) and Navsari (south Gujarat). Different models explained 74 to 93% variability in seasonal rainfall with models error ranging between -2.5 to 5.1%. During the validation period the performance of model was quite satisfactory with model error rainging between -12.6 to 2.6%. All the models were used to predict the rainfall for 2010 season. Results suggested that the rainfall would be higher than the normal rainfall in all the three regions. Navsari (south Gujarat) is expected to receive 1529.0 mm (14.5% higher than the normal), Anand (middle Gujarat) is expected to get 1294.0 to 1363.0 mm (62-71% higher) and SK Nagar (north Gujarat) is expected to receive 770.0 mm (40% above normal) rainfall during June to September period of year 2010.

Full textAbstract:
Gujarat is the westernmost state of India and is known for varied climatic conditions starting from moist deciduous forest to pure desert conditions as in the Greater Rann of Kachchh. A major part of the geographical area of Gujarat is a semi-arid region with dry climatic conditions; but studies on pteridophyte diversity of Gujarat state have always been neglected by botanists. Consequently, the diversity of pteridophytes in the state was poorly represented with 12 genera and only 16 species reported in previous literature. The present investigation was carried out to document species diversity and to update the checklist of pteridophytes occurring in Gujarat state. A total of 50 naturally occurring species or subspecies representing 23 genera in 14 families were collected from different regions of the state. An additional 13 species cultivated in the University Botanical Garden or in homes and gardens have also been noted. Among the indigenous species, Aleuritopteris anceps, A. formosana, Ceratopteris thalictroides subsp. thalictroides, Ophioglossum indicum, O. lancifolium, O. lusoafricanum and O. petiolatum are reported as new distributional records for the state. The maximum diversity was observed in south Gujarat, followed by Central Gujarat and the Saurashtra region whereas less diversity was observed in the North and Kachchh regions. Results of our study are compared to findings made by earlier workers.

Full textAbstract:
Human-Crocodile conflict (HCC) occurs to varying degrees around the World, and with a number of crocodilian species (CrocBITE 2013). The Mugger or Marsh Crocodile Crocodylus palustris found in Gujarat State is the crocodilian species responsible for conflict with local people. This paper is a compilation of HCC occurring in various parts of Gujarat from 1960 to 2013. A total of 64 crocodile attacks were recorded: 44 (24 fatal & 20 non-fatal) on males, and 20 (9 fatal & 11 non-fatal) on females. By region 52 HCC were recorded in central Gujarat; five in Saurashtra, four in the northern region and three in Kutch; no crocodile attacks were recorded in southern Gujarat. Of the two major river systems in central Gujarat, 41 attacks occurred within the Vishwamitri-Dhadhar River System and 11 in the Narmada system. Most crocodile attacks happened between the months of April and September, peaking in May with 14 attacks. These months are the peak breeding season for the species in Gujarat. The most obvious contributors to HCC are lack of basic facilities in rural areas, poverty, illiteracy and the presence of adult animals close to human settlements and activities. Other contributing factors are lack of preventive measures by the forest department, absence of protocols for mugger crocodile rescue, and haphazard release of problematic animals.

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a very common problem in developing countries and in extreme situations, it is responsible for vision impairment as well as death. To conduct a comprehensive cross-sectional evaluation of the deficiency of vitamin A and the associated risk factors responsible for its deficiency, a questionnaire based survey was conducted in District Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan. In order to evaluate the data related to VAD and its relationship with different variables, a cross-sectional survey was conducted of 400 female students from three different schools in District Gujrat. The schools were situated in both rural and urban areas. A questionnaire eliciting personal information, family status and diet related information was used to collect the required data for the survey. The results did not pertain with the participants’ gender. The results were based on the summer season routine of diet and physical activity. All information was sorted and the results were analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2010 update and SPSS version 20. It was found that 39% girls (156 out of 400) were deficient in vitamin A. The main source of VAD was found to be inadequate dietary consumption. It was also found that children with poor socioeconomic standing, low fluid consumption, and from urban areas have more VAD than others. Moreover, the age group of 8-11 years carried a higher percentage of VAD, while physical activity had no impact on VAD. A large number of girls were reported as the victims of VAD due to poverty and related socioeconomic constraints prevailing among the school going children in District Gujrat. A crucial approach towards reducing VAD is to learn about the preventive measures to control VAD. In low-income countries, the use of vitamin A supplements with daily diet is required to reduce the impact of VAD.

Full textAbstract:
The objectives of the research are 1) To assess the relationship in emotional distress, social isolation and psychological well-being among care givers of children with cleft lip and cleft palate. 2) To confirm mediating role of social isolation between emotional distress and wellbeing. This cross-sectional correlational research was conducted in Department of Psychology, University of Gujrat after approval from ASRB and data was collected between January to April, 2021. A sample of 200 caregivers visiting cleft hospital in Gujrat with their children who have cleft lip and cleft palate was purposively selected. There were 96 males and 104 females between age range 20 to 75 years old (M=34.71, SD=10.80). Majority was educated, residing in rural areas of Gujrat in joint family system. Urdu versions of three standardized scales were used for data collection, Caregiver Social Isolation Scale (CSIS, Shafiq & Amwar-ul-Mustafa, 2022), Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWS, Boztepe, Çınar, & Özgür, 2020) and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21, Lovibond, & Lovibond, 1995) to measure emotional distress. Permissions were taken before using the scales from the test developers and translators. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between emotional distress (Depression, Anxiety and Stress), social isolation and psychological well-being among caregivers of children with cleft lip and cleft palate. Social Isolation has positive significant positive relationship with depression, Anxiety, stress and negative significant relationship with psychological well-being and has mediated either partially or fully among them. Depression has partially strengthened social isolation to mediate with wellbeing of caregivers. However, anxiety and stress has completely enhanced this withdrawal to weaken their sense of wellness. Implications are discussed in the light of the findings. Keywords: Caregivers, Child, Hospitalized, Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate, Congenital Abnormalities, Social Isolation.

Objectives: To determine morphometric measurements of external ear amongmedical students of Nawaz Sharif Medical College, University of Gujrat. Study Design: Crosssectional. Setting: This study was done among students of First & Second year MBBS classesat Nawaz sharif Medical College, University of Gujrat. Period: 2015. Methodology: The studygroup consisted of 120 girls and 80 boys with age range 18 to 22 (median 20). Total Ear height,lobular height, lobular width and distances of helical root and insertion of the lobule from thelateral palpebral commissure were measured by using vernier caliper. Results: With analysisof normative cross-sectional data, this study endeavors to show anatomic and aestheticdifferences between boys and girls. The average total ear height across the study group forboth left and right ears was 6.50cm. The average lobular height was 1.9cm. The average lobularwidth was 2cm. The height of the pinna was significantly larger in boys than girls. The distancebetween helical root and lateral palpebral commissure was significantly larger among boys ascompared to girls. The average height and width of the lobule of boys and girls were statisticallyinsignificant.

Full textAbstract:
In the residential sector, a great part of the electricity goes into heating water by electric water heaters, which results in high CO2 emissions as well as an unprecedented increase in electricity demand leading to an energy crisis. This study offers solar water heaters as a more economical and efficient replacement for electric water heaters. The present study is aimed at investigating the potential for solar water heaters in the subcontinent, especially in India. A feasibility analysis is performed for seven cities in the subcontinent, namely Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Assam, Gujrat and Madhya Pradesh. Simulated results are based on a solar fraction, equity payback, multiple collectors (one, two or three), horizontal and tilted, type of collector (evacuated tube, glazed and unglazed), electricity saved and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. The collector’s area is made such that it should receive at least 50% of the solar fraction. The range of payback period varies from five to 15 years. The results show Gujrat being the most ideal site for solar water heaters.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of Covid-19 in the district of Gujrat, its association with gender, age, its correlation with respiratory and cardiac symptoms and to find the link of this disease with travel history of patients to affected areas.
Methodology: A total of 222 COVID-19 -Positive patients (Male and Female) out of 514 clinically suspected cases (fever, cough, dyspnoea, lethargy & anosmia) as per WHO guidelines were selected. The use of the data for research purposes was explained to patients, and informed consent was taken. The study was approved by the ethical committee of Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Hospital. Samples were extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs using standard extraction protocol. Statistical tools used was SPSS Version 24. Chi-square test and correlation of age with respiratory and cardiac symptoms was calculated.
Results: Male gender was significantly affected by this disease (P=0.001) as compared to the female gender. Regarding the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, 31(14%) were asymptomatic. 37(16.7%) had Dyspnea, 45 (65.3%) cough (P= 0.001). Nine (4.1%) developed pneumonia. Fever and Cough was the most common symptom in the age group 21-40 yrs(P=0.001). While pneumonia developed in the older age group. The cardiac symptoms appeared in young age group (p=0.000) in the age group 21-40 yrs (70.9% n=78).38 patients (17.2%) had the symptom of chest pain, 24(10.9%) tachycardia and 1(0.5%) developed arrhythmia. Out of 222 COVID positive patients, 67.1% (149) gave a history of direct contact with positive patients, 19.8% (n=44) gave travel history,4.5% (n=10) had a history of going to Raiwind Ijtamah and 8.6% (n=19) were zaireen/pilgrims from Taftan.
Conclusion: The COVID -19 is comparatively more common in male patients. 50% of the patients were of age group 21-40 years showing the symptoms of fever and cough along with mild cardiac symptoms. Acute pneumonia developed in older age groups while cardiac symptoms were significant in young age. In Gujrat District, the majority of the patients (67.1%) developed Covid-19 due to travelling.
