جناب میر علی محمد شادؔ مرحوم عظیم آبادی
ابھی نثر اردو کے ماتم سے ہم فارغ نہیں ہوئے تھے کہ نظم اردو کے پرانے استاد عظیم آباد کے مشہور باکمال شاعر میر علی محمد شاد کی موت کی خبر آئی، ۸؍ جنوری ۱۹۲۷ء کو غالباً ۸۲ برس کی عمر میں اپنے وطن عظیم آباد پٹنہ میں وفات پائی، ساٹھ برس سے زیادہ کی مشق سخن تھی، لاکھوں شعر ان کے نتائج فکر ہیں، میرؔ اور انیسؔ کے مقلد اور متبع تھے، اس دور میں وہ یورپ میں زبان اردو کے تنہا استاد رہ گئے تھے، ہموطنی کے باوجود کبھی ان کی ملاقات کا شرف حاصل نہ ہوسکا، البتہ تحریری نیاز ایک مدت سے جاری تھا، کچھ دنوں سے ہوش و حواس بھی بجانہ تھے، تاہم شعر برابر وردِ زبان تھا:
آخر ہے عمر ، ضیق میں ، دل بھی ہے جان بھی
مردانہ باش! ختم ہے یہ امتحان بھی!!
مرحوم کی تصنیفات میں دیوان اور کلام منظوم کے علاوہ نوائے وطن وغیرہ نثر کی کتابیں بھی ہیں، مرحوم کا ایک طویل والا نامہ بھی میرے پاس رکھا ہے، جس میں اپنی تصنیفات کی پوری کیفیت لکھی ہے، افسوس کہ ان کا پورا کلام کوششوں کے باوجود بھی یک جاہوکر طبع نہ ہوسکا، جو کام کہ ان کی غایت احتیاط کی بناء پر ان کی زندگی میں نہ ہوسکا، شاید اب ان کے مرنے کے بعد انجام کو پہنچ جائے، اپنے طرز کے وہ تنہا مالک تھے اور زمانہ کا رنگ دیکھ کر توقع نہیں کہ اس طرز کا سخن ور پھر پیدا ہوسکے۔

Aim of study: To identify the effectiveness of particular trunk stabilization versus a general exercise in low back pain management.
Methodology: An experimental study was conducted at the physiotherapy department of Dow University of Health Sciences, 52 participants with low backache were enrolled and assessed for pain intensity using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and disability by using the Modified Oswestry Low Back Disability Index (MOLBDQ-I). Through equal randomization one group got their low back pain treated through trunk stabilization exercises while the other with general exercises, 3times/week* 4weeks. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 by applying non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test.
Results: This study demonstrated that males and females are equally affected by chronic low back pain. Trunk stabilizing and general exercise regimes both significantly reduced the pain and disability in the study population but the effectiveness of trunk stabilizing exercises were significantly superior in reducing pain.
Limitations and Future Implications: Study did not include a control group that received no intervention. It would be valuable to assess the cost-effectiveness of trunk stabilization exercises compared to general exercises or other interventions.
Originality: Trunk stabilizing exercises are superior in reducing pain, disability, and restoring functional mobility than general exercises in chronic back pain.
Conclusion: Trunk stabilizing exercises are superior in reducing pain, disability, and restoring functional mobility than general exercises in chronic back pain.
Effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles supplementation on growth, serum metabolites and intestinal histology in broilers The present research was aimed to evaluate the effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Cr-CNPs) on production performance, viscera development, serum metabolites and intestinal histology in broilers. Two hundred (200), one-day-old, broilers were randomly divided into five groups with five replicates (n=8). Birds in the first group served as control and were fed corn soya-bean based diet, while the remaining four supplemented groups were offered 200, 400, 800, and 1200 µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed, respectively, for 35 days. Weight gain, feed intake, and FCR remained unaffected with Cr-CNPs supplementation. No changes were observed in the relative weights of viscera. The relative length of the small intestine was decreased in birds supplemented with 200 and 800 µg Cr-CNPs/kg feed compared with the 1200 µg Cr-CNPs supplemented and control groups. Serum metabolites remained unaffected with Cr-CNPs supplementation except for the serum HDL that was increased. Cr-CNPs decreased the retention of chromium in the bone at higher concentrations. Jejunal villus height, villus surface area, and villus height to crypt depth ratio were increased in 800 µg Cr-CNPs supplemented group. In conclusion, Cr-CNPs did not affect growth performance, viscera development, and most of the serum metabolites but enhanced jejunal morphological attributes at 800 µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed. Effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles on the electrophysiological indices and glucose transporters in broilers The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Cr-CNPs) on electrophysiological indices, gene expression of glucose transporters and tissue glycogen in broilers. Two hundred (200), one-day-old, broilers were randomly divided into five groups (A, B, C, D, and E) each having five replicates (n=8). Group-A was fed a corn-soya-bean meal-based diet, while the diets of groups B, C, D, and E were supplemented with 200, 400, 800 and 1200µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed, respectively. On day 35, eight birds per treatment were killed to obtain segments of jejunum for electrophysiological study using Ussing chambers. Additionally, two birds per replicate were randomly killed to collect the jejunum for mRNA quantification of glucose transporters and tissues for the detection of glycogen content. The basal short-circuit current (Isc) and tissue conductance (Gt) before the addition of glucose were the same in all the groups. After the addition of glucose, change in short circuit current (ΔIsc) was decreased (P<0.05) in the birds supplemented with group C and group E compared with the control group without affecting change in tissue conductance (ΔGt). Gene expression of SGLT-1 and GLUT-2 remained unaffected (P<0.05) with Cr-CNPs supplementation. The liver glycogen content decreases (P<0.05) linearly with CrCNPs supplementation while no effects were observed in muscle glycogen content. In conclusion, Cr-CNPs supplementation decreases the glucose absorption and liver glycogen content in a dosedependent manner without affecting the gene expression of glucose transporters.
