مطلعاتی نعت

مطلعاتی نعت

سنہری جالیوں سے نور چھنتا ہے رسالت کا
یہی عرفان کا ماخذ ، یہی منبع ہدایت کا

ثویبہ نے دیا تھا شوق سے مژدہ ولادت کا
صلہ اُس کو یقیناََ مل گیا تحدیثِ نعمت کا

اُسی کی سمت جاتا ہے ہر اک رستہ سعادت کا
کُھلا ہے کُل جہاں کے واسطے اک باب رحمت کا

شبِ معراج ہو یا ہو کوئی منظر قیامت کا
اُنہی کو تاج سجتا ہے نبوت کی امامت کا

اُنہی کے صحن سے پُھوٹا شجر امن و محبت کا
اُنہی کے گھر سے نکلا ہے علم رسمِ شہادت کا

قیامت تک رہے گا معتبر رستہ شریعت کا
کہ یہ منشور ہے حسن ِ فلاح ِ آدمیت کا

اِدھر نکلے ، اُدھر سے اک اشارہ ہو شفاعت کا
سُن اے عابد ؔ مزا تب ہے ترے اشکِ ندامت کا

Vulnerability of Women in Disasters: A Case Study of District Badin

The climate change is universal phenomenon, its severe impact can be clearly observed in poor countries having mainly dependence on natural resources and having limited coping strategies for extreme climate change. Given the role of women in society, they tend to face more damages in terms of reduction in their income level, saving pattern and the level of education in disaster prone areas. This article examines the impact of disaster on women. The data for study is collected through questionnaire from district Badin of Sindh province. The findings of study revealed that income level of household is affected after disaster, and households who were low at saving pattern are affected more than households with high savings. To combat the impact of disaster on women the government should initiate awareness drive to respond the disaster related vulnerabilities.

Prevalence of Suspicious Ultrasound Findings in Patients With Mammographic Focal Asymmetry at Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi

Background: Breast cancer has become the leading cancer in women in both economically developed and developing countries, accounting for 25% of all cancers diagnosed worldwide in 2012. The cornerstone of breast cancer control remains early detection in order to improve outcomes and survival. Thus far the only breast cancer screening method that has proved to be effective is mammography. Although mammography is the mainstay of early detection, a fundamental limitation is its low inherent contrast difference between the soft tissue structures in the breast. Mammographic specificity relies on the ability to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions based on their margins and morphological features. When breast malignancy presents with subtle mammographic features such as focal asymmetry, its specificity is reduced. Overall, the larger portion of false -negative mammograms comprises of cancers which are visible in retrospect as ‘minimal sign’ cancers. Additional imaging with ultrasound is useful to further characterize areas of mammographic focal asymmetry, and sonographic findings are used to determine the need for subsequent biopsy for histological confirmation. However, mammographic focal asymmetry has historically not been subjected to adequate follow up, and there is limited data in radiology literature regarding ultrasound findings in its evaluation. Objective: To determine the prevalence of suspicious ultrasound findings in patients with mammographic focal asymmetry. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, whereby women presenting for mammograms at the Radiology Department with a mammographic descriptor of focal asymmetry (as per the American College of Radiology guidelines) and recommendation for additional imaging evaluation with breast ultrasound were consecutively recruited. The whole breast ultrasound images were evaluated for normal and abnormal findings, and allotted a final imaging assessment categorisation using the ACR Breast Imaging – Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS®) ultrasound lexicon. Ultrasound BI-RADS® 1-3 categories were assigned as benign findings, while ultrasound BI-RADS® 4 and 5 were assigned as suspicious findings. A total of 141 patients were enrolled. Analysis: Data collected were entered into a spreadsheet application (Excel for Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Corporation) and analysed using Stata® version 11.2. The proportion of suspicious ultrasound findings in mammographic focal asymmetries was calculated. Results: A total of 141 patients met the eligibility criteria during the study period and were enrolled into the study. The median age was 50 years, with a range of 31 to 79 years. The prevalence of suspicious ultrasound findings in patients with mammographic focal asymmetry was 7.1%. There was equal involvement of right and
