آہ ! مولانا عبدالرحمن پروازؔ اصلاحی
’’مولانا عبدالرحمن پرواز مرحوم دارالمصنفین آئے اورتقریباً ساڑھے تین سال کے بعد یہاں کے لوگوں کے دلوں میں اپنی سیرت کی نیکی اور پاکیزگی، اخلاق کی طہارت و شرافت کی جوت جگا کر اچانک دائمی جدائی اختیار کرلی، وہ ہم لوگوں کے درمیان آکر بیٹھتے تو ان کے خوبصورت چہرے سے عیاں ہوتا کہ لوگوں کی دلآزاری اور ایذارسانی کیا بلکہ ان کی دل شکنی کا دسوسہ بھی ان کے دل میں پیدا نہ ہوتا ہوگا، ان کی نورانی داڑھی سے ان کا علم و فضل ظاہر ہوتا رہتا تھا، انھوں نے راہ طریقت کے ایک سچے سالک کی طرح اس دنیا میں باہمہ و بے ہمہ کا مسلک اختیار کر کے پوری زندگی گذار دی، ان کا بڑا وصف یہ رہا کہ وہ اپنے نفس کو دبا کر بلکہ اپنے اوپر تکلیف اٹھا کر اپنے گھر والوں اور ملنے جلنے والوں کو آرام پہنچانے ہی میں اپنی راحت و مسرت محسوس کرتے تھے، انھوں نے ممبئی کے قیام میں مخدوم علی مہائمی اور مفتی صدر الدین آزردہ کے نام سے دو کتابیں لکھی، جو علمی حلقوں میں بڑے شوق سے پڑھی گئیں، وہ دارالمصنفین آئے تو انھوں نے خود مفسرین ہند پر ایک کتاب لکھنے کی خوہش ظاہر کی، خیال تھا کہ یہ کتاب تیار ہوگی تو ان کی مذکورۂ بالا دونوں کتابوں کی طرح علمی حلقے میں شوق سے پڑھی جائے گی، مگر مصلحت خداوندی سے یہ ادھوری رہ گئی، ان کی اچانک وفات سے یہاں جو سوگواری اور غمناکی کی فضا پیداہوئی ہے، اس سے یہ خاکسار متاثر ہوکر ان پر خود مضمون لکھنا چاہتا تھا، لیکن مولوی ضیاء الدین اصلاحی ان کے ہم وطن ہیں اور ایک ہی درسگاہ کے پڑھے ہوئے ہیں یہ ان کی زندگی سے بہت قریب تر رہے، اس لیے خیال ہوا کہ...
ObjectiveTo compare clinical and functional outcomes and complications of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) by plating and Ilizarov technique in complex tibial plateau fractures. MethodsThis study is a randomized clinical trial accompanying 56 patients having Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures. We divided patients into two groups for management. Group I; open reduction internal fixation versus Ilizarov technique (Group II). We conducted at the Orthopedics Department, Jinnah post-graduate medical centre, Karachi, from April-2018 to Oct2020. The endpoint assessed patients’ satisfaction and clinical and functional outcomes up to an 18-month follow-up. ResultsThe aetiology of tibial fracture was mainly road traffic accidents (RTA); 17 (70.9%) in ORIF versus 23 (71.8%) in the Ilizarov group. According to clinical outcomes, excellent extension lag was achieved in 100% of patients in both groups. Most patients had excellent knee flexion, thigh atrophy and instability outcomes (54.1% vs 59.37%, 87.5% vs 81.2% and 83.3% vs 87.5%). The functional outcome assessment was done and recorded for 18 months of follow-up. There was no significant difference in normal walking, stair climbing, squatting, jumping and duck walking between the groups. The overall rate of complications was similar; 11 (45.8%) in ORIF versus 17 (53.12%) in the Illizarov group (p-value 0.78). ConclusionOur study concludes that there is an excellent clinical and functional outcome found in both procedures. DOI: https: //doi. Org/10.59564/amrj/01.01/008
The adoption of alternative energy resources is essential in the current scenario of energy demand to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The production of biofuels from oleaginous microorganisms is of increasing interest because of its potential benefits on plant-based biofuels. The sustainability of microbial biofuel and its complete independence from food crops make it an attractive option for biofuel production. However, one of the key barriers identified in the commercialization of biofuel from oleaginous microbes is to find a low-cost substrate to reduce the capital cost. In this study, the biofuel potential of bacterial lipids is successfully presented using food waste as a substrate. Oleaginous bacteria (n= 24) were isolated from crude oil and screened for their ability to store lipids using different types of food processing waste (apple, orange and mango waste) as a substrate. Five potent strains were used to test their tendency to reduce the pollution load in terms of removal of organic matter from different types of waste, in which strain KM9 and strain KM15 (Bacillus cereus) had the competent potential for degradation. The strain KM15 represented a greater potential for degradation of mango waste (volatile solids and COD removal up to 38.5% and 48.9%, respectively) while simultaneously exhibiting lipid accumulation up to 41.5% in 96 hours. Strain KM9 showed the highest potential for the treatment of orange waste with 47% removal of VS and 60% removal of COD. Further experiments confirmed the potential of KM9 to degrade citrus waste. The comparative study of strain KM9 with R. erythropolis (known oleaginous strain) showed that biomass production could be increased by supplementation of waste with nitrogen and carbon sources. xix These two strains also represented the potential for storing considerable lipids using waste as a substrate and modified limonene medium. GC-MS analysis revealed that both strains (KM9 and KM15) were able to store more saturated fatty acids (SFA) (38.4% and 39%, respectively) in their cells using a modified limonene medium compared to waste as substrate, however, the use of orange waste triggered the accumulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). The high proportion of palmitic acid and stearic acid indicated its close resemblance to plant-based biofuels. The results of this study not only provide insights into the accumulation of bacterial lipids for sustainable biofuel production in order to meet the growing energy demand, but also offer an added benefit of minimizing waste.
