شاہ ودود احمد

شاہ ودود احمد
قارئین کو یہ خبر سن کر بھی بڑا ملال ہوگا کہ رمضان المبارک کے دوسرے عشرہ میں مولانا شاہ معین الدین احمد ندوی مرحوم سابق اڈیٹر معارف کے صاحبزادے شاہ ودود احمد کا انتقال حرکت قلب بند ہوجانے سے کراچی میں ہوگیا۔ اپنے والد بزرگوار ہی کی طرح وہ بھی بڑے نیک طینت اور شریف النفس انسان تھے، ان کی تعلیم شبلی کالج میں ہوئی اور تقسیم کے بعد پہلے ڈھاکہ پھر کراچی گئے جہاں پیام اجل آگیا۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت کرے اور تمام پس ماندگان خصوصاً ان کی بیوہ، بیٹے اور بیٹی کو صبرِجمیل عطا فرمائے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، اپریل ۱۹۹۴ء)

 

Impact of Traditional Values on the Equality of Females Living in Balochistan, Pakistan

Societies follow a traditional value. Traditions evolve and are adapted according to the wish of majority of the people. Cultures mostly are under the disposition of the patriarchal system, a system dominated by men, where women are discriminated and subjugated because they hold a vulnerable position in the society. The present study focuses on equality of women present in Quetta Balochistan, effected by the cultural values present. Data was selected from seven Government Girls degree Colleges of Quetta based on random sampling method. The researcher used SSPS tool to evaluate the data. Results highlighted that cultural values are affecting the females here in Quetta and they are not treated as equals to their male counterparts.

Association Between Immediate Postnatal Anaemia and Risk of Developing Postpartum Depression at the Aga Khan University Hospital: A Cohort Study

Introduction: Postpartum depression has significant burden on obstetric psychopathology. While risk factors for the same have been extensively studied, most of this studies have focused on the role of psychosocial factors. Data on the role of physiological variables such as anaemia and role of obstetric complications in postpartum depression is now emerging. There are still gaps in literature regarding the same in developing countries and in Africa. Primary Objective: To determine the association between low postnatal hemoglobin andpostpartum depression Secondary Objective: To determine the association between obstetric complication specifically postpartum hemorrhage, operative delivery and NICU/NHDU admission and postpartum depression. Materials and methods: Study design: prospective cohort study Procedure: Using a cutoff of 11 grams/deciliter, 90 anemic and 90 non anemic women without a prior history of depression were recruited on the second postnatal day. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression scale was administered at the six week postnatal visit and a score of 13 was used to determine those at risk of postpartum depression. Results: Using logistic regression analysis, we did not find a statistically significant association between postnatal anemia and postpartum depression. (Adjusted odds ratio 1.25, CI 0.51-3.05, p 0.6290). There was also no significant association between mode of delivery (OR 1.10 CI 0.46-2.60 p=0.8337) nor postpartum hemorrhage (OR 1.45 CI 0.60-3.54 p=0.4092) and postpartum depression. Admission to the neonatal unit (Adjusted OR 6.14 CI 1.09-34.42 p=0.039) and not taking antenatal iron supplements (Adjusted OR 2.83 CI 1.15-6.93 p=0.023) were significantly associated with postpartum depression. Conclusion: Postnatal anemia, postpartum hemorrhage and mode of delivery are not associated with postpartum depression. NICU/NHDU admission and not taking antenatal iron are associated with postpartum depression though this was not hypothesized a priori and may therefore be a chance finding. Recommendations: We recommend a prospective cohort study looking at the association of postnatal anemia, iron stores and postpartum depression. We also recommend a study looking at the association between adverse perinatal outcome (NICU/NHDU admission), operative delivery and postpartum depression.
