Pharmacokinetics, renal clearance and urinary excretion of fixed dose combination antituberculosis drugs (Rifa-4 Schazoo Pakistan) was investigated following oral administration of a single dose (INH 225mg, RMP 450 mg, PZA 1200 mg and EMB 825 mg) in adult healthy and diseased (Pulmonary TB) human male volunteers. The increased maximum concentrations (C max ) of EMB, PZA, RMP and INH in plasma of patients to healthy volunteers may be due to repeated therapy of drugs in patients each day. The elimination half life of isoniazid was significantly lower in healthy volunteers (3.47 ± 0.5 h) as compared to the TB patients (4.04 ± 0.5 h) while its values for PZA were higher in healthy volunteers (7.4 ± 2.2 h) than TB patients (5.7 ± 1.2 h) significantly, however the half life of ethambutol and rifampicin between two populations did not differ significantly (P≤0.05). The mean ±SD values for the volume of distribution for INH and PZA are higher for healthy volunteers compared to the TB patients in contrast to its values for EMB where these are higher in TB patients; however the Vd values were not significantly different for RMP in healthy volunteers and TB patients. An overall significantly (P<0.05) increasing trend was seen for C max :MIC in our studies in healthy volunteers for all drugs except for rifampicin having higher values in patient volunteers compared to healthy volunteers but these higher levels of RMP in patient volunteers did not reach the level of significance. Endogenous creatinine used as an index of glomerular filtration rate in EMB, RMP, PZA and INH in healthy and patient volunteers. EMB and INH respectively have significantly higher clearance rates in healthy volunteers as compared to the patients while RMP and have statistically non significantly different clearance rates. The cumulative percent dose of RMP nonsignificantly (P<0.05) differ in healthy volunteers and TB patients, whereas INH, PZA and EMB have significantly (P<0.05) higher cumulative %dose in pulmonary TB patients compared to healthy volunteers. The mean total protein level had lowered values in active pulmonary TB patients, compared to healthy controls, while creatinine globulin, bilirubin and blood urea were increased in patients and relatively decreased in healthy controls respectively. It was observed that the total level of the cholesterol was significantly lower in patients (141.1 mg/dL) than in healthy controls (211.3 mg/dL). Fasting glucose levels in our studies did not differ significantly in healthy controls (128.6 mg/dL) and pulmonary tuberculosis patients (126.4 mg/dL). The mean BMI in all patients ranges from 14.76 -22.51 and in the healthy volunteers it ranges from 20-25 kg/m 2 .

مولوی محمد مسعود خاں

مولوی محمد مسعود خاں
افسوس ہے کہ ۳؍ جولائی ۲۰۰۲؁ء کو مشہور قومی کارکن مولوی محمد مسعود خاں ایک سڑک حادثے میں دہلی میں وفات پاگئے، وہ ایک دین دار گھرانے کے فرد تھے، ان کے بڑے بھائی مولانا محمد سعید خاں شبلی نیشنل اسکول میں ہڈ مولوی اور سلسلۂ نقشبندیہ مجددیہ کے شیخ طریقت تھے، جن کی ذات سے لوگوں کو بڑا فیض پہنچا، مسعود خاں صاحب نے شروع میں دینی تعلیم حاصل کی، پھر بی۔اے ایل ایل بی کر کے اعظم گڑھ کی کلکٹری کچہری میں وکالت شروع کی۔
قوم و ملت کی خدمت کی جانب ان کا طبعی میلان تھا، اس لیے وکالت کے ساتھ اپنے جدید وطن منگراواں کے مکتب کو عربی مدرسہ کی شکل دے دی، ہر سال گرمیوں میں اس کے جلسے کراتے جن میں جمعیۃ علمائے ہند کے جنرل سکریٹری مولانا محمد حفظ الرحمن سیوہارویؒ بھی تشریف لاتے تھے۔
جمعیۃ علما سے تعلق کے باوجود وہ کانگریس سے اس کے متعصبانہ اور مسلم دشمن رویے کی بنا پر سخت بیزار تھے، اس لیے مسلم مجلس میں شامل ہوگئے تھے، لیکن ڈاکٹر عبدالجلیل فریدی کے انتقال کے بعد اس کے حصے بخرے ہوگئے، تو انہوں نے چودہری چرن سنگھ کی پارٹی کا انتخاب کرلیا اور وفات تک اسی کے ساتھ تھے، اس وقت لوک دل (اجیت) کی ریاستی شاخ کے صدر تھے، ان میں بڑی تنظیمی صلاحیت تھی اور وہ ایک ایمان دار اور عملی آدمی تھے، اس کی وجہ سے پارٹی میں ان کا وزن تسلیم کیا جاتا تھا، اس کے ٹکٹ پر وہ کئی بار یو۔پی اسمبلی کے ممبر منتخب ہوئے، پھر راجیہ سبھا کے ممبر ہوئے، اس وقت بھی یو پی کونسل کے ممبر تھے۔
۱۹۷۷؁ء میں مسٹر رام نریش یادو کی سربراہی میں اترپردیش میں جنتا پارٹی کی حکومت بنی تو مسعود خاں پی۔ڈبلو۔ڈی منسٹر ہوئے اور...

Corporate Diversification, Cost of Capital, Financial Policies and Firms Performance: Evidence from Pakistan

Diversification has become a popular practice for firm expansion and growth. When firms go for diversification strategy, they need extra capital and they have to manage cost of capital and other financial policies. This research examines the effect of corporate diversification, cost of capital and financial policies on firms’ financial performance.The population of the study is manufacturing firms of Pakistan, with the sample being from 2004 to 2017. Two-step dynamic estimation was used for the analysis. Data was collected from DataStream. Financial performance of firms is measured through Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE) and Tobin’s Q. First, overall analysis of manufacturing sector was done followed by sectoral analysis. In the first and second models, Product Diversification (PD) and Geographic Diversification (GD) were used to measure corporate diversification. In the third model, the combined effect of PD and GD was analyzed. Firms’ financial policies measured as capital structure decision, dividend policy, investment policy, corporate governance, and audit quality are included in firms’ financial policies.Overall analysis reveals that both measures of corporate diversification have a significant impact on ROE and Tobin’s Q. Cost of capital, capital structure and dividend policy have a significant effect on all three measures of financial performance. Investment policy has an insignificant effect on financial performance. Analysis reveals mixed findings regarding the impact of corporate governance and audit quality on ROA and ROE. However, these variables have significant impact on Tobin’s Q. Sectoral analysis reveals mixed results depending on the nature, features and policies of the sectors. It is recommended that firms may manage diversification strategy and financial policies to make rational decision to improve the firms’ financial performance.
