	Introduction: This study is to formulate the Euterpe Oleracea in-situ gel for better treatment of conjunctivitis. The Euterpe Oleracea ophthalmic drug solution can treat the ocular infections effectively.&#xD;
	Aim: Formulation and evaluation of Eutepe Oleracea in-situ gel for better treatment of conjunctivitis&#xD;
	Methodology: Euterpe Oleracea drug containing in-situ gel prepared by using different polymers like carbopol-940, HPMC K15, HPMC K100, HPMC K4M, as a pH triggered gelling system, these polymers are used to controlled release to increase bioavailability.&#xD;
	Result: After the formulation prepared it will undergo evaluation i.e. visual appearance, pH, clarity checking, gel capacity, drug content and rheological studies, in-vitro drug release studies, sterility testing were determined. The prepared in situ gel was clear and transparent, it is having good gelling capacity.&#xD;
	Conclusion: The drug content of these formulations was determined to be 98%. Developed formulation was stable, and non-irritant, effective therapeutically it can be release in the form of sustained release.&#xD;

	Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is middle ear infection, perforation and inflammation usually with purulent middle ear discharge. Different immune markers such as IgE and interferon were proved to be elevated in CSOM.&#xD;
	Aim/Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate of these inflammatory biomarkers (IL6, IL8 and TNF gamma) in patient of CSOM to suggest future therapy of chronic infections with inflammations.&#xD;
	Methodology: This is a case-control study conducted in ENT ward in a tertiary care hospital in Jinnah Post Medical centre, Karachi during November 2017 to May 2018. Patients or healthy volunteers were divided into two groups as G1 (without any disease) and G2 (CSOM patients without treatment), G3 (CSOM patients treated with co-amoxicillin) and G4 (CSOM patients treated with ciprofloxacin). The serum was subjected for the quantitative measurement of IL6, IL8 and TNF Gamma by ELISA Kit method via antibody-antigen-enzyme complex formation and measured at 450 nm.&#xD;
	Result: Study shows that IL6, IL8 and TNF gamma concentration was significantly high in G2 (positive control), G3 (ciprofloxacin) and G4 (co-amoxicillin) in contrast with G1 (negative control). Moreover, IL6 concentration was significantly low in G3 (ciprofloxacin) and G4 (co-amoxicillin) as compare to G2 (positive control).&#xD;
	Conclusion: Elevated levels of IL6, IL8 and TNF gamma in CSOM showed alteration of immune response in chronic suppurative otitis media. Moreover, anti-inflammatory role of ciprofloxacin and co-amoxicillin in CSOM may provide additional benefit beside attenuation of infection.&#xD;

	Introduction: Pregnancy is a state of metabolic stress associated with high lipid levels; the highest concentration observed during third trimester. The imbalance in the amount of lipidshas been related to maternal-perinatal pathologies such as preeclampsia (PE), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preterm birth.&#xD;
	Aim/Objectives: Our study was aimed at studying the association of serum lipid profile during second trimester with the various adverse pregnancy outcomes.&#xD;
	Methods: A cohort of 150 antenatal mothers were recruited and were evaluated for serum lipid profile during the second trimester. They were followed up till delivery and maternal and neonatal outcome, were recorded.&#xD;
	Conclusion: It was concluded that there were direct implications of dyslipidemia on maternal and perinatal outcomes. Increase in maternal TG, TC, LDL and VLDL concentrations were the most important changes affecting maternal outcomes and had significant association with GDM, PE and PTB. HDL did not have any association with any adverse maternal or neonatal outcome.&#xD;
