ڈاکٹر عبدالجلیل فریدی
افسوس ہے گذشتہ ماہ ڈاکٹر عبدالجلیل فریدی اکسٹھ برس کی عمر میں ہم سے جُدا ہوگئے۔ مرحوم ایک نہایت بلند مرتبہ اور ماہرِ فن ڈاکٹر کی حیثیت سے ریاست میں ہرجگہ معروف اور مشہور تھے ، لیکن عملی سیاسیات کے میدان میں گامزن ہوئے ابھی انھیں دس بارہ برس ہی ہوئے تھے،اس کے باوجود وہ اس شان اور کروفرکے ساتھ اپنی ریاست کے آسمان ِ سیاست پر نمودار ہوئے کہ پرانے چراغ جھلملا کے رہ گئے۔ ان کی سیاست اگر چہ اتر پردیش تک محدود رہی،لیکن ان کی غیر معمولی شخصیت کاوقار اوروزن پورے ملک کے مسلمانوں میں ہر جگہ محسوس کیا جاتا تھا۔اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ مرحوم جذبہ اورعمل دونوں کے انسان تھے، نہایت جری،بے باک اورصاف گوتھے۔ان کی سیاست شترگربگی یامنافقت کے عیب سے پاک وصاف تھی۔اورسب سے بڑھ کریہ کہ سیاست کوجلب منفعت کا ذریعہ بنانے کے بجائے انھوں نے چند در چند مالی نقصانات برداشت کیے اور اپنی کمائی کے لاکھوں روپئے اپنے کازپر بے دریغ خرچ کرڈالے۔اخلاق وعادات کے اعتبارسے بھی وہ بڑی خوبیوں کے مالک تھے ۔عقیدہ اورعمل میں پکے اورسچے مسلمان، ہمدرد ومتواضع، خوش اخلاق وخوش طبع تھے، اس بنا پر مخالفین بھی ان کاادب واحترام کرتے تھے۔ عارضۂ صدر میں مبتلاتھے، روس اور یورپ میں اعلیٰ سے اعلیٰ علاج کرایا مگرمرض نہ گیا۔ایک مرتبہ بڑی حسرت سے بولے : میں نے ڈاکٹر کی حیثیت میں تین لاکھ مریضوں کے ہاتھ دیکھے ہیں،لیکن آج خود اپنا ہاتھ دیکھتا ہوں توحسرت ہوتی ہے ۔آخر یہی مرض جان لیوا ثابت ہوا اوروہ خدا کو پیارے ہوگئے۔ا للّٰھمَّ اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔ [جون ۱۹۷۴ء]
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic illness with high prevalence and mortality, leading toeconomic burden ofhealth due to prolonged hospital stay and re-admissions. Failure to comprehend the importance of identifying mental illnesses could lead to explanations that why the morbidity and mortality of heart failure patients endure to be very high. Objective: To determine the frequency of anxiety and depression in heart failure patients. Methods: It is a descriptive cross sectional study including 323 CHF patients admitted to the Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology hospital, 250 were males and 73 were females, mean age was 54.1 ± 9.2 years having 70 years as maximum and 25 years as minimum. Data was collected with the help of HADS questionnaire. Patients were interviewed for assessment of anxiety and depression. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24. Mean and standard deviation was calculated for quantitative data and for qualitative data frequency and percentageswas calculated. To measure the association of anxiety and depression with age categories and gender, chi square test was used. P values less than and equal to 0.05 were taken as significant. Results: The results showed that 43% subjects had <11 score indicating no anxiety, 57% had >11score indicating anxiety. 45% subjects had<11 score indicating no depression, 55% had >11score indicating depression. Conclusions: The study concluded that frequency of depression and anxiety is high in congestive heart failure patients. Strategies are required to assess and diagnose these mental illnesses to establish early treatment which may foster multidisciplinary health care team approach and interventions that address the psychological burden.
Nigella sativa meal is a byproduct obtained after oil extraction that contains appreciable amount of protein. In the current exploration, characterization, extraction and bioevaluation of Nigella sativa meal protein isolates were conducted to develop protein enriched cookies. The protein isolates were prepared through different methods i.e. isoelectric precipitation, micellization and enzymatic extraction. The highest protein yield 79.69±0.70% was estimated in enzymatic protein isolates (EPI) followed by 64.65±0.64% in isoelectric precipitation (IPI) whilst, the lowest output 46.40±0.47% was noticed in micellized protein isolates (MPI). Furthermore, resultant isolates were evaluated for their functional properties. In this context, the highest bulk density was recorded for EPI followed by IPI and MPI. Conversely, the maximum water absorption capacity was observed in IPI trailed by EPI and MPI nonetheless, higher oil absorption was noticed for EPI. The foaming capacity (FC) was highest in IPI followed by EPI and MPI. Likewise, maximum emulsion capacity (60.74± 0.61%) was observed in EPI. The SDS-PAGE depicted that meal protein isolates had protein bands in the range of 6.5 to 116 kDa. Quantification of essential and non-essential amino acid was also carried out with reference profile. Amongst essential amino acids, the maximum lysine content (38.75±0.38 mg/100g) was observed in EPI followed by MPI (34.04±0.34 mg/100g) whilst, IPI had the lowest lysine concentration (29.33±0.29 mg/100g). The protein scores were 65.43, 53.27 & 55.14 for EPI, IPI and MPI, respectively. Additionally, the maximum PDCAAS 82.25±1.56% was noticed in EPI followed by MPI 80.21±1.13% whereas, the minimum scores 73.75±1.54% for IPI during the session 2010-11. Afterwards, bioevaluation trial was carried out through growth and nitrogen balance study parameters. The maximum protein efficiency ratio (PER), net protein ratio (NPR) and relative net protein ratio (RNPR) were observed in EPI followed by IPI and MPI, respectively for the year 2010-11. Similarly, nitrogen balance study parameters expounded the highest true digestibility (TD), biological value (BV) & net protein utilization (NPU) in EPI trailed by IPI. Similar trend for growth and nitrogen balance studies was noticed during the 2 nd year. On the basis of overall yield, functional properties and bioevaluation, one best protein isolate namely EPI was selected for cookies preparation. For the purpose, composite blends were formulated and analyzed for chemical and rheological properties i.e. mixographic and farinographic characteristics. Afterwards, the protein enriched cookies were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, amino acid profile and hedonic response. On the basis of compiled data for these traits, it is concluded that cookies (T 3 ) prepared by 15% supplementation of enzymatically extracted protein isolates (EPI) of Nigella sativa meal performed better and has potential to address the menace of protein energy malnutrition.
