الوداع بابا

الوداع بابا

کل مریم نواز نے کہا

کہ ڈرتے ہیں بندقوں والے ایک نہتی لڑکی سے

اس کے جواب میں نور الہدا شاہ نے ایک تلخ حقیقت بیان کر دی

ایک نہتی لڑکی

راولپنڈی جیل

4اپریل 1979ء

صبح سے پہلے

میرے والد کو قتل کر دیا گیا

ویران بدو دار سہالہ پولیس کیمپ میں

میں اور ماں مقید

وہ کربناک رات گزارنے کے لیے مجھے ماں نے نیند کی گولی دی تھی

اچانک

میں بستر میں اٹھ کر بیٹھ گئی

نہیں پا پا نہیں

میری چیخ نکل گئی

ایک نہتی لڑکی

میں نے جیلر کو کہا

ہمیں وزیر اعظم کے ساتھ جا نا ہے

اس نے کہا ،وہ انہیں دفنانے کے لیے لے جا چکے ہیں

گھر والوں کے بغیر انہیں دفنانے لے گئے میں نے تلخی سے پوچھا

کہاں لے گئے ہیں ؟

وہ چپ

میں ششدر کھڑی رہی

ذوالفقار علی بھٹو جو عوام کے ووٹوں سے منتخب ہوئے تھے

موت کی نیند سلا دیے گئے تھے

ایک نہتی لڑکی

میں جیلر کے سامنے بے بس کھڑی تھی

میرے ہاتھوں میں میرے والد کے آخری کپڑے تھے جن سے ابھی تک پرفیوم کی خوشبو آ رہی تھی

میں نے قمیض کو اپنے ساتھ بینچ لیا

مجھے کیتھی کینڈی یاد آ گئی

جس نے اپنے باپ کے قتل کے بعد اس کا لباس پہن لیا تھا

میں بھی کئی راتیں بابا کی قمیض تکیے کے نیچے رکھ کے سوتی رہی

 

 

 

تعمیر شخصیت كے جذباتی اجزاء احادیث نبویہ كی روشنی میں

The main Focus of Islam is to promote a healthy social setup. It is evident that a healthy society is a structure and framework of individuals' peaceful interactions. If the individuals are ofgood character with sound personalities, the society becomes a symbol of happiness and tranquility. It is clear that individuals face different situations in daily life and the way these matters are dealt with, depict the emotional aspect of their personality. Islam neither promotes ascetism nor it advocates to become materialistic, rather it strengthens a harmony between the spiritual and material needs. The balanced emotional expressions not only furnish a positive personality but also lead the individual to real success and salvation in this life and in the life hereafter. This article is an effort to identify the dimensions of different emotions, so that the negative emotional trends at individual or social level should not disturb the balance of the community life. (Note: Main components of the development of the personality are referred as cognitive, behavioral, and Emotional. Thefirst two components have been discussed in Issue No. 19th / 2008, whereas the Emotional components are being discussed in this Article.)

Non Invasive Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B and C

Chronic viral hepatitis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the present day world [Goldstein et al, 2005; Baldo et al, 2008] 1,2 . The situation is particularly precarious in the developing countries [Jafri et al, 2006] 3 . It is estimated that by the year 2020-5, there will be three fold rise in cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma from HBV and HCV [Nguyen et al, 2008; Law et al, 2003] 4,5 . In chronic viral hepatitis the prognosis and management are highly dependent on the extent of liver fibrosis [Sebastiani et al, 2006] 6 . Though classically considered the “gold standard”; the liver biopsy is far from perfect, and has significant limitations [Poynard et al, 2004] 7 . This has led researchers to look for other methods to assess the stage of liver fibrosis [Afdhal et al, 2004] 8 .The noninvasive markers are the most widely used alternative to liver biopsy [ Manning et al, 2008; Castera et al, 2007; Morra et al, 2007] 9,10,11 . In the study presented, the association between serum markers, platelet parameters and liver fibrosis was investigated taking liver biopsy as the reference standard. A set of 5 serum markers, Fibroscore, consisting of: bilirubin, gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), hyaluronic acid (HA), alpha 2 macroglobulin (A2M), and platelets; has shown very high diagnostic accuracy for the near absence of fibrosis, and cirrhosis. The area under the ROC for F2 (stage 2) fibrosis was 0.808, for F3 the ROC was 0.938, and for F4 the ROC was 0.959. A central cut off point of > 0.5, in the model, predicted clinically significant fibrosis, (F2, F3 and F4) with a sensitivity of 82%, specificity of 92%, and overall diagnostic accuracy of 89%. By increasing the cut off to 0.65, for stages F2-F4, the PPV was 95%. Lowering the cut off to < 0.08 for the exclusion of stages F2-F4 provided 98% NPV, thus almost certainly ruling out stages F2-F4. The PDW index consists of platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet count. The area under the ROC for advanced fibrosis (F3-F4) for PDW index was 0.840, compares with the well known AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) with area under ROC of 0.888. It is concluded that, Fibroscore has a high diagnostic accuracy for stages F2-F4, and PDW Index reliably predicts advanced fibrosis. The noninvasive markers will be helpful in the screening and management of fibrotic liver disease [Morra et al, 2007] 11 , and will replace liver biopsy in most patients with chronic liver disease from viral related causes [Castera et al, 2007; Morra et al, 2007] 10,11 .
