The Kalasha are a marginalized ethnic and religious minority group in northern Pakistan. The Kalasha minority is known for their divergent polytheistic beliefs, and represents the outliers of the collectively monotheistic Muslim population of Pakistan. This study aimed to explore the psychological resilience beliefs and lived experiences of the Kal

The provision of confined and renowned care to the patients is the most important concern of hospitals, in line with patients’ privilege and rights. It is the state’s primary responsibility to provide all types of free healthcare services to the population, particularly maternal healthcare, on a priority basis. In this regard, public hospitals

To handle huge data traffic in networks, deployment of femtocell and macrocell in Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the future of the network society. The efficiency of the system is increased. However, the system deployment may yield to major issue such as the inter cell interference with their neighboring cells. The effect of this issue is the occurre

Spectrum scarcity is one of the most discussed restraining aspects in wireless communication system. To solve this issue Frequency Reuse (FR) concept is introduced. It is a promising development to fulfil the requirement of Long Term Evolution Advanced (LET-A). With the introduction of FR comes the problem of Inter Cell Interference as the neighbor

With the increasing demand for spectrum in communication system, Long Term Evolution (LTE) system has been proposed. It allowed users to use a new and much wider spectrum comparing to the other previous technologies. To utilize the full capacity of the LTE system Frequency Reuse (FR) has been adapted. It is a promising aspect of transmission of hig

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may present in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia. However at times it is difficult to distinguish between the pure obsession and psychotic obsessions that exist in patients. We present a case of a patient initially diagnosed as Schizophrenia due to the disorganized aspect of her behaviour, only to discover an

A substantial percentage of patients will have an inadequate response to clozapine in treatment resistance schizophrenia. Therefore, different approaches need to be considered for managing this group of patients. We present a case of a treatment resistant schizophrenia patient who shows poor response toward clozapine. Later, he was started with hal

A combination of 0.3 mg/kg buprenorphine and 1.0 mg/kg naltrexone treatment shows a promising result due to its ability to attenuate reinstatement (relapse) in morphine/methamphetamine (polydrug)-dependent mice in a conditioned place preference (CPP) model. This prompted us to identify which opioid receptor that contributes to its anti-relapse acti

A combination of buprenorphine/naltrexone treatment had been proven to successfully attenuate relapse (reinstatement) to morphine/methamphetamine (poly-drug) addiction in mice using a conditioned place preference (CPP) model. This treatment combination exhibits a mixed opioid receptor pharmacological activities (mu/kappa antagonist and partial NOP
