7th International Conference of Endorsing Health Science Research – ICEHSR-19 1 7th International Conference of Endorsing Health Science Research – ICEHSR-19 PREFACE International Conference for Endorsing Health Science Research has been a platform since 6 years for researchers from all over the world to exchange their thoughts on research and future developments in health sciences. ICEHSR with its previous impactful scientific history, has now become a brand enhancing the knowledge and information through numerous scientific activities throughout the session including keynote talks, workshops, panel sessions, scientific oral and poster presentations and publications. For the year 2019, team AEIRC is now back with its 7th International Conference for Endorsing Health Science Research (ICEHSR’19) in collaboration with World Health Organization (WHO) with the theme entitled: “Health for All; Everyone Everywhere” at Dow University of Health Sciences, Ojha Campus. AEIRC has been involved in arranging this mega event each year to encourage younger researchers in the field of health sciences by promoting the tradition of research through investigation, questioning and reaching out to appropriate answers. This year ICEHSR has been programmed to bring in the views from different health sectors. The main aim is to indulge the scientists and researchers from biomedical, environmental, psychological, pharmaceutical and all other health domains to identify the social issues and rather than just discussion the focus is break through the barriers and reach out to all possible solutions for it. This abstract book encloses an extracted form of all the sessions/talks delivered by our honorable speakers as well as 161 abstracts those were selected in the conference, presented by one of the author as poster and oral presentations. All the sessions were attended by respective experts of the field. Keeping up the previous trend, this year ICEHSR showed up with 3 pre-conference workshops of ICEHSR’19 with diverse institutes of Karachi and Hyderabad on different issues related to health science research. The major collaborating institutes for these pre-conference workshops were Dadabhoy Institute of Higher Education, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Sir Cowasjee Jehangir Institute of Psychiatry, Hyderabad and Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science & Technology (FUUAST). We are grateful for the support of World Health Organization (WHO), Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) & Canada Pakistan Research & Development Council (CPRDC) in supporting us to take this objective forward. We are obliged to have all of our invited experts who shared their perspectives in scientific talks and panel discussion. Special thanks to Prof. Dr. Atta-Ur-Rahman and Prof. Dr. Saeed Qureshi for their support, encouragement and inspiration for steering us so constructively and effectively. The conference team is privileged to welcome you all at this informative and healthful event and expects good outcomes of the session. 2 7th International Conference of Endorsing Health Science Research – ICEHSR-19 MESSAGE FROM WHO ON THE OCCASION OF WORLD HEALTH DAY DR AHMED AL-MANDHARI Regional Director WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region Happy World Health Day! This year‘s theme is primary health care (PHC), the path towards universal health coverage (UHC). Primary health care is the first level of contact with the health system, where individuals, families and communities receive most of their health care – from promotion and prevention to treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care – in places closest to where they live and work. Last year, on the 40th anniversary of the landmark Declaration of Alma-Ata on “Health for All”, a global conference in Astana, Kazakhstan, reaffirmed that primary health care is the most cost-effective and equitable way of delivering health services and helping countries make progress towards universal health coverage. It is important to note that between 80% and 90% of essential health services can be delivered at PHC level – including in emergencies, which unfortunately are a defining characteristic of our Region. The WHO Regional Office and our Member States are promoting family practice-based primary health care as the best way to provide integrated health services at the PHC level. World Health Day 2019 puts a special emphasis on equity and solidarity – on raising the bar for health for everyone, everywhere by addressing gaps in services and leaving no one behind. These are key principles in our new Vision 2023 for public health in the Region, which calls for solidarity and action to achieve “Health for All by All”. On World Health Day, I would like to call upon governments, partners, civil society and individuals to come together and work together to ensure the attainment of health by all people in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and beyond. 3 7th International Conference of Endorsing Health Science Research – ICEHSR-19 Address of Chief Guest SOME EXCITING ADVANCES IN HEALTH SCIENCE RESEARCH PROF DR ATTA-UR-RAHMAN (FRS, N.I., H.I., S.I., T.I) We live in a world where truth has become far stranger than fiction. Each day brings thousands of new discoveries, many of which are transforming our lives in a multitude of ways. Disruptive innovations are transforming our lives in serendipitous ways. The blind can, amazingly, today see using their tongue. Anti-ageing compounds have been discovered and when given to old mice, it made them younger! Stem cells promise to cure damaged organs and may change the manner in which medicine will be practiced tomorrow. Genes have been transferred from deep sea jelly fishes to orchids ---- the result are luminescent flowers that glow in the dark. Super-fast gene sequencing under development should allow the entire human genome to be sequenced in minutes! Graphene, a wonder material 200 ties stronger than steel, is being employed to shuttle anti-cancer drugs. Polio virus has been re-engineered to cure glioblastoma. Neuroscience is an intensive area of research and objects can be moved and cars driven through crowded streets by thought control. Our own work in the field has led to the discovery of exciting new substances active against epilepsy. New approaches to impart knowledge are also being developed. Some of these fascinating developments will be presented. 4 7th International Conference of Endorsing Health Science Research – ICEHSR-19 AEIRC TEAM Dr. Shershah Syed Dr. Syed A.

Since the advent of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by Sir Aaron Beck in 1960s, the effectiveness of CBT has long been the topic of interest for the neuroscientists. With over 50 years of research, CBT has become the most widely accepted evidence-based therapy among the vast variety of psychotherapies and it comes at par in terms of efficacy with the objectively defined pharmacotherapy for various
