Diabetic patients not only have to face the stressors regarding their disease like frequent blood sugar checks, diet restrictions, strict exercise routine but have also to face anxiety regarding glycemic variations as well as must live with continuous fear of having acute or chronic complications of the 5,6 disease.

All the patients mobilized within first week after surgery were included in group A, and those mobilized after one week of surgery were included in group B. Patients' wound infection was defined as local redness, pain, and pus discharge within three weeks after surgery. Conclusions: We conclude that after lower extremity orthopedic surgeries, early mobilization is needed, as it significantly reduces the postoperative wound infection rates, and early mobility is achieved.

     summary: The majority of distal radius fractures occur as isolated injuries in two distinct populations: youth involved in sports who sustain a relatively high-energy fall, and seniors with osteoporotic bone who sustain a low-energy fall. E-mail: tazysheikh@hotmail.com 26 27 immobilize distal radius fractures in slight flexion and pronation, but there is some evidence to suggest that distal radius fractures should be immobilized with the wrist extended; as noted by Gupta et al. Position of wrist made no difference with regards displacement, in displaced extra- articular fractures with no comminution; in comminuted fractures, both extra articular and intra articular, best results occurred in fractures treated in dorsiflexion; functional results were superior when fractures were treated in dorsiflexion and in contrast palmar flexion was associated with higher rate of fractures displacement.

     summary: Lung function tests included tidal volume (TV), Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and vital capacity (VC).Data was analysed using SPSS 15and correlation was calculated using Pearson's correlation co-efficient between haemoglobin and the lung functions tests. In a developing country like 12 13 Pakistan, where lung functions tests are too costly 14 for an average person and according to study conducted in urban areas of Pakistan anemia is quite common, our study was carried out with an aim to find any co-relation that exists between haemoglobin and lung function tests so in future by 15 knowing Hb level of a person indirect assessment of functioning of lung could be made.

As we did not measure other hormones apart from PYY, such as cortisol and ghrelin, so it remains unclear as to which hormone could have brought about the change observed in fasting blood glucose levels as seen in our study.
