Background: Consanguineous marriage is an established factor associated with CHD. Because cousin marriages are practiced in all parts of the country, it was needed to study the association of consanguineous marriages and CHD in the context of Afghanistan. Methodology: A case-control study design was employed to conduct the study. 200 individuals with CHD and 200 individuals without CHD (controls) were selected from three well known cardiac centres in Kabul. Data was collected with interview through structured questionnaire. The data was then analysed by logistic regression to find association between consanguinity and CHD in the presence of other risk factors. Results: The results showed that gender distribution was the same in both cases and controls. The most common CHD in the current study was VSD. The Findings revealed that consanguinity was associated with CHD with OR = 2.1 and 95% CI = 1.36 – 3.23.Other factors significantly associated with CHD were family history of CHD, education of the parents and age of the mother at marriage. Conclusion: the findings of the study suggest that consanguinity increases the risk of having a CHD by two times. Because cousin marriages are common in Afghanistan, there is an urgent need to educate people on consequences of cousin marriages and at the same time strengthen the health care system for its timely diagnosis and treatment.

بھٹو آج تک لوگوں کے دلوں میں کیوں زندہ ہے

بھٹو آج تک لوگوں کے دلوں میں کیوں زندہ ہے ؟وجہ

یہ ایک تاریخی تصویر ہے ۔ایک بوڑھا شخص 18اکتوبر 2007ء کو محترمہ بے نظیر بھٹو شہید کے استقبال کے لیے کراچی ائیر پورٹ ننگے پائوں آ یا ۔اس نے وہاں موجود صحافیوں کو یہ تصویر دکھائی اور بتا یا کہ میں آج اس واقعے کو دہرانا چاہتا ہوں جب میں اس طرح شہید بھٹو سے ملنے ننگے پائوں گیا تھا کیونکہ میرے اس وقت پہننے کے لیے جوتے نہیں تھے ۔شہید بھٹو نے جب میری یہ حالت دیکھی تو انہوں نے مجھے اپنے گلے سے لگایا ۔میں نے ان کی آنکھوں میں بغور دیکھا تو وہ بھیگ چکی تھیں ۔انہوں نے مجھے کافی پیسے بھی اور جب میں واپس جائے لگا توشہید بھٹو اپنے جوتے اتار کے خود بھی ننگے پائوں میرے ساتھ کا فی دور تک چلے !

 

Booster Dose of COVID 19 and Ethical Issues

COVID 19 is a recent and global pandemic. Preventive medicine is not very popular in Pakistan. With the limited resources, an average Pakistani would spend on a medical treatment rather than on a preventive drug. In Pakistan, booster shots are recently made available only to those who can pay for the cost of the vaccine. A Utilitarian approach has been adopted at various levels since the pandemic emerged by health care organizations and the government. The purpose was to maximize the benefits and minimize the risk of harm. It is the need of the hour to think about health equity and justice in a pluralistic way and refrain from initiating booster shots for elite of a resource-poor country. This pandemic will never end if a maximum number of people are not vaccinated in each country. This is only possible if there is an equitable distribution of vaccines.

Analog of Groebner bases in a polynomial ring with countably infinite indeterminates

In this dissertation we have developed the theory of Sagbi bases and Sagbi Groebner bases in a polynomial ring with countably infinite indeterminates over a field and also explored the behavior of Sagbi Groebner bases for ideals in algebras of polynomial ring with finite indeterminate over a field under (de)homogenization technique. We have discussed that the things work in a same manner for Sagbi Groebner bases as in case of Groebner and Sagbi bases
