حافظ محمد ابراہیم
افسوس ہے جنوری کے تیسرے ہفتہ میں حافظ محمد ابراہیم صاحب ایک طویل علالت کے دہلی میں وفات پاگئے۔ نماز جنازہ شاہ جہانی جامع مسجد میں پڑھی گئی اوراس کے بعد تدفین نگینہ میں ہوئی۔انتقال کے وقت عمر ۷۷۔ ۷۸ برس کی ہوگی۔ مرحوم علی گڑھ کی پرانی نسل کے ایک فرد تھے۔یہیں فلسفہ اور اقتصادیات کے مضامین کے ساتھ بی۔اے اورپھرایل۔ایل۔بی کیا۔اپنی ذہانت،طباعی اور لیاقت کے باعث اساتذہ اورطلباء میں ہمیشہ نیک نام اورہر دل عزیز رہے۔ دیوبند کے مکتبۂ فکر کے زیر اثر قوم پرورانہ خیالات اور جذبات شروع سے رکھتے تھے۔ چنانچہ جن لوگوں نے مرحوم کا عہد طالب علمی دیکھاہے ان کابیان ہے کہ مرحوم اس زمانہ میں بھی سرسید کے سیاسی افکار کے مخالف تھے اور اس پر اپنے ساتھیوں سے محبت کرتے تھے۔علی گڑھ سے فراغت کے بعد اپنے وطن نگینہ میں پریکٹس شروع کی اورایڈوکیٹ کی حیثیت سے بہت جلد صوبہ بھر میں مشہور ہوگئے لیکن نیشنلسٹ فطرتاًتھے۔اس لیے تحریک موالات شروع ہوئی تواُس میں بڑھ چڑھ کرحصہ لیااورپھر جنگ آزادی کادورآیا توہمیشہ اُس کے ہراوّل دستہ میں رہے۔اس سلسلہ میں جیل گئے اوردوسری پریشانیاں بھی اٹھائیں لیکن پائے ثبات میں لغزش نہ ہوئی۔ پھر جب قومی وزارتوں کا عہد شروع ہوا تو پہلے اتر پردیش میں اور پھر مرکز میں وزیر رہے، آخر میں پنجاب کے گورنر تھے۔ بیماری کے باعث اس سے مستعفی ہوکرگھر آ بیٹھے تھے اوریہی بیماری آخرجان لیوا ثابت ہوئی۔ نہایت خوش خلق، مہمان نواز اور فیاض و سیرچشم تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت ورحمت کی نعمتوں سے سرفرازفرمائے۔آمین [فروری۱۹۶۸ء]
Coronaviruses are a huge family of viruses that originate disease extending from the common cold to further fatal maladies. Objective: The study was conducted to determine the gender based differences in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Study included total 150 participants visiting Department of Medicine, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Data were collected through self-structured questionnaire using non-probability convenient sampling. Prior written informed consents were taken from the participants. Ethical approval was taken fromThe University of Lahore, Lahore. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 25.0. Results: Results showed that among the comorbidities hypertension was most common in COVID-19 patients followed by diabetes mellitus, especially in females. Whereas renal disorders and asthma were most reported in males. Analysis revealed that there was a significant association (p=0.001) between disease severity and gender. Conclusion: Study concluded that there was significant association between gender and disease severity.
The dramatic rise in coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity certain cancers, rates among every aged men particularly adults and children over the past two decades has become a major public health concern. Its is observed that these changes occurred due to unbalanced diet, food containing high amount of saturated and trans fatty acids, re-using of frying oils in restaurant, fast food shops, stuff frying in low quality oils and fats, high consumption of cereal based food, mayonnaise, butter, margarine, biscuits, chips, snacks, ice-cream, etc. these like products containing high level of saturated fat and trans fats. A monitoring, treatment and labeling of oil quality is one most important job for the controlled or the resolved these problems. As well as a special techniques and method should be developed for to overcome these healths related problem, in present work, a rapid Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic trans fat (TFA) method was developed assessed for monitoring and analytical purpose. The application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy in the assessment for the quality, stability and the determination of the and type saturation and unsaturation of oils, fats and some selected food samples was investigated. In fact, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) represents an important tool used for quality control and monitoring process in the food industry due to the cost effectiveness, improved performance and ease of use compared to other methods. It offers a powerful, rapid, reliable method of identifying the quality and origin of foods, detecting contaminated or adulterated products, or discriminating between different types of foods. Because FT-IR analysis is a physical, nondestructive method, no reagents are required and no chemical waste is produced. Various kinds of sampling accessories are available for FT-IR measurements in the transmission, transflection, or reflection mode, and thus a broad range of solid and liquid samples can be analyzed with minimal or no sample preparation. Using this system, an FTIR and GC-MS qualitative and quantitative determination of fatty acid composition and including trans fatty acid, in the fats and oils. The obtained results compared with GC-MS. the FTIR developed methods shown the similar in accuracy, and reproducibility to the GC-MS obtained results. Determination of fatty acid composition, trans fatty acids, Free fatty acids and fat contents of some selected Pakistani product such as margarines, biscuits, potato chips and cereal based foods were also analyze by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy in present work for the obtaining of true value of oil and fats stability and purity. It is observed that samples contains high amount of saturated and trans fat in maximum variety of the samples. On the other hand there was no labeling on the product.
