مولانا مفتی عبداللطیف
افسوس ہے گزشتہ مہینہ مولانامفتی عبداللطیف صاحب کا علی گڑھ میں انتقال ہوگیا۔ مرحوم عوام میں مشہور نہ تھے لیکن ارباب علم کے طبقہ میں بڑی بلند شخصیت رکھتے تھے۔ استاذ العلماء مولانا لطف اﷲ صاحب کے ارشد تلامذہ میں سے تھے۔ علوم دینیہ میں بڑی پختہ استعداد اورایک خاص درک وبصیرت کے مالک تھے۔ سالہاسال جامعہ عثمانیہ حیدرآباد میں شعبۂ دینیات کے صدررہے، وہاں سے سبکدوش ہوکر علی گڑھ آگئے اوریہاں بھی یہی خدمت انجام دینے لگے، آخراس سے بھی سبکدوش ہوکر خانہ نشین ہوگئے۔ مگر مطالعہ اوردرس کامشغلہ آخر تک جاری رہا، چھوٹے بڑے چند رسالے اور دو ایک کتابیں بھی لکھی ہیں۔ اٹھاسی برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی مگر قویٰ خاص طورپر دماغ آخر وقت تک کام کرتے رہے۔باطنی احوال وکوائف سے بھی ناآشنا نہیں تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت و رحمت کی بیش ازبیش نعمتوں سے سرفرازفرمائے۔آمین [جنوری۱۹۶۰ء]
Objective: In order to provide equal educational opportunities, community school networking is an emerging trend to facilitate inclusion of children with mild-moderate Autism. This quantitative research aims to investigate the effectiveness of community networking for children with Autism from Pakistani lower socio-economic stratum of society.
Study Design: Qualitative Research Design
Study Settings and Participants: Six mild-moderate autistic children were enrolled in three mainstreams schools and a liaison between these schools, and a rehabilitation center located in the same area was created to facilitate inclusion. The researchers interviewed six teachers from mainstream schools, three school administrators and one administrator of rehabilitation regarding the effectiveness of community school networking for children with Autism after eight months of this collaboration.
Data Collection Tool: Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews
Results: All participating administrators and teachers underscored the changes in social and behavioral patterns of autistic children which included an imitation of positive behaviors from peers, acceptance, and awareness as strengths of community school networking model. However, major challenges faced were unacceptability from parents of normal children, learning differences, curriculum modifications, time constraints and dependency on the resource teacher. The administrators and teachers recommended that creating awareness programs for parents of normal children, curriculum modifications and in-house psychologists can further facilitate inclusion of children with disabilities.
Conclusion: It was concluded that community school networking model can assist inclusive education and encourage engagement for all children, including those who are autistic.
BACKGROUND Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is also known as encephalomyelitis disseminate, is a white matter disease of brain and spinal cord. It has an extremely variable clinical course and relapsing remission in nature. MS onset usually occurs in young adults females. MS can present with any neurological symptoms or signs, involving motor and sensory systems. The diagnosis of MS in Asian population, particularly in Pakistan, is still debatable. Different techniques including history and clinical examination are initial investigations but the advancement of MRI techniques has revolutionized the early detection and treatment of MS considering its type and the course of the disease. OBJECTIVES The object of this study is to characterize MS lesions, particularly in temporal lobes and its impact on cognitive impairment. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted in the Radiology Department of King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital, Lahore after approval from ethical committee. Patients from all affiliated departments of Neurology & Medicine in the Lahore city Hospitals, encatchment areas where MRI facilities were available in the hospitals in the Punjab province were analyzed. All collected data was analyzed by SPSS version 17. RESULTS: The minimum age was 18 years while maximum age was 65 years with mean age of 43.07 ± 13.88 years. It was more common in females (57 %) as compared to males. MS is associated with different factors including smoking (19%), Alcohol-intake (2%) and Viral Infections (8%). Clinically are most of the patients present with weakness and numbness (53%) and (69%) respectively. However another significant presentation is blurring of vision i.e. about 48%. MS plaque is predominantly supratentorial region of brain (97%) however infratentorial entity is also present (16%). It can involve deep white matter, periventricular and juxtacortical region of temporal lobe and more frequent in periventricular(96%) and deep white matter(95%) and they are detected efficiently on T2WI and flair sequences. Musculoskeletal and vision disturbance is strongly associated with MS plaques. CONCLUSION: MS is disease of young to middle age predominantly in females causing musculoskeletal and sensory neural complications diagnose efficiently on T2WI and flair MR sequences.
