جو تیری یاد کبھی انتہا اٹھاتی تھی،
تمہارے ہجر میں وہ لان بھی ہے افسردہ،
چراغِ راہ تھے جب، روشنی لٹاتے تھے،
بلا کا صبر ، سماعت اٹھاۓ پھرتی تھی،
ہماری آنکھ اب اس آنکھ کو ترستی ہے،
جو سحر دم تری خوشبو میسر آتی تھی،
جو لمحہ بھر کو کبھی تم سے روٹھ جاتے تھے، خدا سے مانگنا ہوتا تھا جب بھی تیرے لئے،
تو سانس سانس نئی ابتدا اُٹھاتی تھی۔
کہ جس کی گھاس ترا نقشِ پا اُٹھاتی تھی۔
تو کتنے ناز ہمارے ہوا اٹھاتی تھی۔
تمہاری خامشی سے بھی صدا اٹھاتی تھی۔
جو بے تردد و کوشش حیا اٹھاتی تھی۔
وفور-شوق سے اس کو صبا اُٹھاتی تھی۔
چہار سمت سے ہم کو فنا اُٹھاتی تھی۔
ہمارے ہاتھوں کو فوراً دعا اُٹھاتی تھی۔
Background: Chronic hepatitis C infection has created a huge burden of disease causing serious health effects. The combination therapy used to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection includes Pegylated interferon and Ribavirin. As cholesterol biosynthesis plays a pivotal role in HCV replication, the use of various statins has been associated with higher sustained viral response Objective: To compare the efficacy of atorvastatin plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin versus pegylated interferon and ribavirin alone in patients of chronic hepatitis C with genotype-3a Methods: This Randomized controlled trial was conducted at outpatient department, Mayo Hospital Lahore for six months i.e. May to November 2017. After ethical approval, 60patients of ages 25 to 55 years of either gender with chronic hepatitis C with genotype 3a were included in the study. Informed consent was taken from all patients. Then patients were randomly allocated into two groups “A” and “B” using random number table. Patients in Group A received standard of care treatment for chronic hepatitis C i.e. Pegylated interferon and ribavirin while the patients in Group B also received tab atorvastatin along with the standard treatment. Patients were follow up for 4 week. Blood samples were collected and HCV RNA detection. All this information were entered in proformaResults: In standard therapy group, the mean age of patients was 39.50±8.39years. In atorvastatin plus standard therapy group, the mean age of patients was 34.30±6.78years. In standard therapy group, there were 25 (83.3%) males and 5 (16.7%) females. In atorvastatin plus standard therapy group, there were 16 (53.3%) males and 14 (46.7%) females. After 4 weeks, Rapid VirologicalResponse (RVR) was achieved in 4 (13.3%) patients in standard therapy group while in 14 (46.7%) in atorvastatin plus standard therapy group. The difference was significant (p<0.05) Conclusions: Atorvastatin in combination with Pegylated interferon and ribavirin have better efficacy as compared toPegylated interferon & ribavirin alone in chronic hepatitis C-3a.
This study was designed to explore the relationship of the institutional and social factors with adolescents’ socialization and attitude towards learning. It further aimed to highlight the impact of demographic variations such as adolescents’ age, gender, academic achievement, parents’ qualification and socio–economic status of the family on their socialization and attitude towards learning. The objectives also included to discover which of the factors influence students’ socialization and attitude towards learning more; institutional or social. For measurement of the perception of adolescents, teachers and parents about the adolescents’ socialization and attitude towards learning three indigenous inventories were developed separately, each having four subscales. Teachers’ role, discipline, hidden curriculum, peer relationship were the subscales of the variable institutional factors. The variable social factors have four subscales such as, relationship with parents, home environment, media impact and community influence. For the variable socialization the four subscales were positivity, confidence, self-respect, organized. For the variable attitude towards learning the four subscales were responsibility, behavior, diligence and decision making. The sample was comprised of 300 students; 200 teachers and 200 parents taken from the population. The data was analyzed through various statistics on SPSS. Results revealed that there was a remarkable difference in the perception of adolescents, teachers and parents regarding the impact of various institutional and social factors on adolescents’ socialization and attitude towards learning. Adolescents whose parents were highly qualified were better in their socialization. It was also concluded that when the adolescents were asked to compare their relationship with the teachers and with the peers they answered that peer have a stronger impact on their attitude towards learning rather than teachers. It is recommended to bridge the communication gap between the adolescents and their adults. Supportive and caring relationship with the teachers’ help adolescents build the attitude towards learning and would promote academic achievement. Teachers may learn to deal with the variations in the nature of adolescents that vary from individual to individual which is also commonly known as the individual differences. Parents may build a friendly relationship with their children based on trust, peace and harmony.
