میرا فون نہیں سنتا ہے
دسویں بار بھی کاٹ دیا ہے
کیسے اس سے بات کروں میں
میسنجر سے بلاک کیا ہے
فیس بک سے اَن فرینڈ ہوں میں
وٹس ایپ بھی بند کیا ہے
نا ای میل پتا ہے کوئی
خط کا زمانہ نہیں رہا ہے
فیس بُک پروفائل پہ بلّی
خود بھی وہ بلی جیسا ہے
ڈی پی نظر نہیں آتی اب
نمبر بھی ڈیلیٹ کیا ہے
میرے اسٹیٹس دیکھے ہیں
ذرا بھی نوٹس نہیں لیا ہے
مجھے بلاک کیا ہے جب سے
فیس بُک پہ ہی وہ رہتا ہے
صادق فون نہ کر تُو اس کو
وہ تجھ سے بیزار ہوا ہے
Cancer is a multifactorial disease with genetic and environmental risk factors. Environmental factors may also be termed as modifiable risk factors and these contribute towards 35% of cancer related mortalities as reported by World Health Organization. Obesity is the leading risk factor in this regard, causing not only deaths due to cancer but also to many other diseases. Among different factors causing obesity, a major contributor is lack of physical activity. In this era of modern technology and digitalization, sedentary mode of life has become a part of life and is mostly unavoidable. At the same time, there is a rise in the incidence of cancer. In the olden times, people used to do all manual work, a lot of walk, exercise and had healthy life style. Such healthy life style may have prevented them from various diseases. Physical activity as a therapy on daily basis, is associated with a reduction in incidence of various carcinomas. It may improve overall wellbeing of healthy people as well as diseases persons from various ailments. As it is a common proverb that, “prevention is better than cure”, physical activity serves as a preventive measure for various diseases and also for fitness of normal healthy people. Although it is a known fact, yet planned population studies are required to provide evidence. Instead of unorganized physical activities, a structured physical activity may help in improvement of condition of cancer patients, prevention of cancer, cancer related deaths as well we quality of life. Healthcare providers should guide the patients in this regard. There is lack of awareness among physicians and mostly they don’t refer them to physical therapists. There is also lack of information regarding the implementation of the programs and regimens of physical exercises for different diseases and cancers. Physical therapists may guide the patients in terms of frequency, intensity, duration of exercises which may serve as a betterment of their condition.
The present study was designed to evaluate the assessment of health status through blood profiling and fecal parasite analysis in three species of pheasants in captive facilities of Punjab.The total 75 blood and fecal samples were collected to determine hematological parameters and prevalence of parasites. Hematological parameters including Total Red Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin, Packed cell volume, Mean Corpuscular Volume, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, Total White Blood Cell Count, Platelets, Granulocytes, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, and Neutrophils, and Plasma Chemical parametersUrea, ALT, AST, Creatinine, Iron, Total Protein and Albumin were calculated. The comparison of mean value of all the parameters among male and female in silver pheasants showed that HGB, MCV, MCH, MCHC, Urea, AST, Iron and Total protein was differ highly significantly (P<0.01) and RBCs and creatinine was significantly (P<0.05). In male and female ring necked pheasants RBCs, HGB, MCH, Neut, Urea and Iron was differ highly significantly (P<0.01) and HCT, MCHC, PLT, AST and creatinine was significantly (P<0.05). In male and female green pheasants MCHC and ALT was differ highly significantly (P<0.01) and GRAN, Neut and creatinine was significantly (P<0.05), and all the other parameters in male and female of three species of pheasants were differ non-significantly (P>0.05). The prevalence of endoparasite in all three species was ranged from 36%-56%. The highest prevalence recorded in ring-necked pheasants 56%, followed by silver pheasants 44% and green pheasants 36%. The overall prevalence of endoparasites was 45.3%. The prevalence of endoparasite among all the nine different facilities differ highly significant (P<0.01) and its range from 0-83.3%. The comparison between male and female parasites of all three species shows that females were (48.8%) more infected as compared to male (40%). The total five species of endoparasites in all pheasants were recorded i.e. Ascradia galli (28%), Capillaria annulate (38.2%), Heterakis gallinarum (47%), Strongyloides avium (17.6%) and Eimeria sp (20%).
The present study provides base line value of hematology and plasma chemistry of apparently healthy pheasants in captivity and can be used as reference values to improve the management practices of these species. The high prevalence of parasites needs to be re-evaluated to assess efficacy and possible nematodicide resistance of these parasites.
