حافظ ضیاء الدین احمد
افسوس ہے پچھلے مہینہ حافظ ضیاء الدین احمد صاحب ایڈیٹر ندائے حرم کرانچی کاانتقال ہوگیا۔ مرحوم مدرسہ صولتیہ مکہ معظمہ کے صدر دفتر کے انچارج تھے۔ قرول باغ دہلی میں ان کا دفتر دفترِبرہان کے پڑوس میں تھا۔۱۹۴۷ء کے ہنگاموں میں ہم سے قرول باغ چھٹا تومرحوم اس ملک کو ہی خیرباد کہہ کر کراچی میں جابیٹھے۔ وہ اگرچہ ضابطہ کے عالم نہیں تھے لیکن بڑی اچھی سمجھ بوجھ اوراعلیٰ درجہ کی انتظامی قابلیت رکھتے تھے۔مہمان نوازی، تواضع اورفراغ حوصلگی و سیرچشمی ان کی طبیعت تھی۔ قرآن مجید کے صرف حافظ ہی نہیں تھے بلکہ اس کے عاشق بھی تھے۔ روزانہ خودپابندی کے ساتھ اس کاورد کرتے تھے اوراپنی اولاد کو بھی تلاوت قرآن کی تاکید کرتے رہتے تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ آں مرحوم کوابراروصلحاء کامقام عطافرمائے اورمدرسہ صولتیہ کی اس شاخ کومرحوم جیسے منتظم کے اٹھ جانے کے باعث کسی قسم کاچشم زخم پہنچنے سے محفوظ رکھے۔آمین [مئی۱۹۵۲ء]
Abstract: Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia are associated with a number of complications including kidney damage, neurological damage, cardiovascular damage, damage to the retina or damage to feet and legs, lethargy, impaired mental functioning and irritability. The most abundant mineral in the body is calcium. Its abnormal levels also associated with multiple disorders. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the blood glucose and calcium levels in healthy female volunteersMethods: A cross sectional study was conducted at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, over a period of 6 months, after obtaining the ethical approval from the The University of Lahore. A total number of 60 females were enrolled through consecutive sampling technique. Females of all age groups were included. All of the females had gone through routine history taking and lab investigations for the assessment of blood glucose an calcium concentrations. Results: In this study out 60 female participants, 33.3% were between ages of 15-30 years, 33.3% were between age of 31-50 years and remaining 33.3% were above 50 years old. All females of age group 15-30 years had normal glucose levels while single case of age group 15-30 years had abnormal calcium level. The results indicated that females of above age 50 years had low calcium and high glucose levels due to poor nutrition and less physical activity. Conclusions: The results of the current study showed that females with increasing age should intake food enriched in calcium and low glucose and adopt a physically active life style to manage normal blood glucose levels.
Epidemiological evidences encourage the suitability of intake of fresh leafy green vegetables to combat against a list of neurodegenerative disorders including diabetes, breast cancers, cardiovascular and other diseases. To meet such targets, the field of agriculture has taken a mold towards the betterment of nutritional status of these vegetables via number of plant growth regulating substances. These economic strategies are implemented to nullify the use of pesticides and other environmental threatening agents. In current study, the application of different plant growth promoters (Moringa leaf extract, 6-Benzyl amino purine, Humic acid, Biofertilizer etc.) was appraised on some leafy green vegetables. Moringa leaf extract, 6-Benzyl amino purine and Humic acid, alone and in conjunction with each other (mixture) were applied in foliar mode while Humic acid (6 h, 9 h, 12 h duration) and Biofertilizer (slurry form) were applied as seed priming treatments. The optimized results of pot study were selected on the basis of antioxidant activity on which field experiment was raised later on. Field experiment included various parameters i.e. soil chemistry analysis, growth parameters, biochemical, proximate and antioxidant attributes. Although all treatments of plant growth regulators improved the efficacy of plant against control samples but Moringa leaf extract proved the potent plant growth regulator amongst all regarding biochemical, proximate, growth parameters and as an antioxidant action. Among other foliar treatments, 6-Benzyl amino purine and mixture treatments yielded comparable results and Humic acid showed the least performance. Among seed priming treatments, Biofertilizer and Humic acid (9 h) treatments showed better performance than rest of the treatments i.e. Humic acid 9 h and 12 h. Urea presence in soil showed improved results than in absence in all cases except in case of antioxidants. Overall study concludes that natural plant growth promoters can be a better and economical substitute of fertilizers in view of environmental deterioration. Moringa leaf extract can be preferred as an effective plant growth promoter due to its inherited composition of vitamins (A, B, C, E etc.), minerals (Na, Mn, Mg, K, P, Ca, S, Zn, Fe, Cu etc.), cytokinins, humic acid and other suitable bioactives.
