عناية أئمة النقد الحديثي بفقه الحديث

It is generally perceived in contemporary intellectual movements that canonical Traditionalists did not take had฀th text into consideration as their scholarly efforts were limited to the evaluation of had฀th chains. Aforementioned notion - in my opinion - originates from shallow study of methodology adopted by canonical had฀th critics، as a deeper look into their scholarly works reveals that sciences of had฀th includes the authentication and disparagement of traditions as well as comprehension and deduction from had฀th content. The sole objective of early Traditionalists from transmission، collection of had฀th، its evaluation، authentication and disparagement was to safeguard the true meaning of Sunnah and to transmit it in its pure form to the successors. In fact the peculiarity of their work is that they exert all efforts in order to deal with had฀th as a single undivided whole، where examination of content was not irrelevant to the evaluation of chain، their conscientious efforts recorded in major works of had฀th show how they evaluated content of had฀th to determine that it was not contradictory to Shari‘ah، or with another sound tradition، as there was a possibility that a certain reliable reporter made mistake or speculated in transmitting the meaning of had฀th. Therefore we witness them disparaging a certain transmitter for his negligence and errors whereas his had฀th is forsaken، moreover they would not consider him a Traditionalists or muhaddith฀n if excessive speculations were found in his report. This research paper aims at investigating the aforementioned hypothesis.

Correlation Between Ovarian Volume and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Using Ultrasound.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine abnormality in women of reproductive age with a prevalence of 5-10% in different populations. The prevalence of PCOM in patients with PCOS has been shown to be ≥ 90% in different populations. Diagnostic evaluation accounts for a relatively minor part of the total costs of providing care and evaluating women with PCOS. Hence more widespread and liberal screening for the disorder appears be a cost-effective strategy in susceptible patients. PCOM on ultrasound is diagnosed if one of the following is present in one or both of the ovaries; Ovarian volume of more than or equal to 10 cc, more than 12 ovarian follicles 2-9 mm in diameter. Ovarian volume on ultrasound is easy to measure and has good reproducibility compared to follicle number. Primary Objective: To determine the correlation between ovarian volume as seen on ultrasound and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Study design: Cross sectional study with retrospective collection of data at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Nairobi Kenya. Results: Data from 206 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria was analyzed. The point biserial correlation coefficient was 0.2561 (t statistic = 3.78, p = 0.0002). We further calculated the mean ovarian volume difference between the two groups which was -2.53 (95% CI -3.72 to – 1.34). Multivariable logistic regression model was run, ovarian volume was significantly associated with PCOS (p = 0.003), with the risk of PCOS increasing by 15% (AOR 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.26) for each unit increase in ovarian volume. Distribution of BMI in patient’s diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome was as follows; 56.6% overweight, 34.5% normal BMI and 8.8% obese. Conclusion: We have shown that transvaginal ultrasound has clinical utility in the prediction of PCOS. Our findings can be applied to the local general
