تعلیم المدنیت (شہریت کی تعلیم) اسلامی تناظر میں

E come across unpleasant news regarding people from different walks of lives. Teachers Judges, Doctors, Police Officers and so on are allegedly reported for committing malpractices and corruption. This is not the problem in our country. It is a worldwide problem. It is evident that the education which is given is not upto the mark. Though Civic education or value education is being given  across the country but it has not been proven that  much effective which can make character and personality of an individual strong engouh to  stops a person from committing the mentioned wrongs. On the other hand Islamic perspective of Civic education is more comprehensive and covers different angles and aspects of human personality and life. Islam aims to make an individual internally disciplined in the manner where he/ she does not do right things and acts just because he/she is under the eye of Camera but he/she does the right act because he/ she is supposed to do so.

A Randomised Comparative Trial of Seven Versus Fourteen Day Triple Therapy for Helicobacter Pylori Eradication at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi

Background: Helicobacter is associated with a number of important upper gastrointestinal conditions including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric malignancy. Proton pump inhibitor -based triple therapies are considered the standard regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication, but the optimal duration of these regimens is still controversial. Local studies are required to evaluate the H. pylori eradication rates in a country for adequate eradication to prevent H. pylori infection and complications Objectives: The main objective of this study was to compare 7 day and 14 day regimens and determine the optimum duration of triple therapy for H. pylori eradication. Methods: A prospective randomised comparative trial of 7 and 14 day H. pylori eradication triple therapy at the Aga Khan University Hospital Nairobi. One hundred and twenty patients with dyspepsia and H. pylori infection were randomized to receive esomeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin for either 7 days (EAC 7) or 14 days (EAC 14). Compliance and side affects were assessed two weeks after start of therapy and H. pylori eradication was assessed by H. pylori stool antigen done four weeks after treatment. Results: Both the intention-to-treat (ITT; n = 120) and per protocol (PP; n = 97) analyses showed no significant differences between the eradication rates of EAC 7 (ITT 76.7%; PP 92%) and EAC 14 (ITT 73.3%; PP 93.6%; ITT p = 0.67; PP p = 0.76). Poor compliance was reported in only one patient who was in EAC 14 group. Incidences of adverse events were comparable. Conclusion: 1-week and 2-week triple treatments for H. pylori eradication are similar in terms of efficacy, safety and patient compliance.
