Iqbal tere dais ka kia haal suna'on?

Thank You Allah!

Even Though i clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,
Thank you Allah that i can hear,
There are many who are deaf…
Even though i keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible,
Thank you Allah that i can see,
There are many blinds…
Even though i huddle in my bed and put off rising,
Thank you Allah that i have strenght to rise,
There are many who are bedridden…
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic when socks are lost,
toast is burned, and tempers are short,
Thank you Allah for family,
There are many who are lonely…
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the manu is at times unbalanced,
Thank you Allah for the food i have,
there are many who are hungry…

         

Thank you Allah for each and everything i have.

Lincoln Never Quits.

Abraham Lincoln Didn't Quit

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn't quit, look no further.
Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up. Here is a sketch of Lincoln's road to the White House:

• 1816 His family was forced out of their home. He had to work to support them.
• 1818 His mother died.
• 1831 Failed in business.
• 1832 Ran for state legislature - lost.
• l832 Also lost his job - wanted to go to law school but couldn't get in.
• 1833 Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.
• 1834 Ran for state legislature again - won.
• 1835 Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken.
• 1836 Had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months.
• 1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature - defeated.
• 1840 Sought to become elector - defeated.
• 1843 Ran for Congress - lost.
• 1846 Ran for Congress again - this time he won - went to Washington and did a good job.
• 1848 Ran for re-election to Congress - lost.
• 1849 Sought the job of land officer in his home state - rejected.
• 1854 Ran for Senate of the United States - lost.
• 1856 Sought the Vice-Presidential nomination at his party's national convention - get less than 100 votes.
• 1858 Ran for U.S. Senate again - again he lost.
• 1860 Elected president of the United States.

A shoe or a book?

How this Nation can value “Education & Literacy“ when they proudly buys more expensive

shoes and find it difficult to buy a less expensive book. Why shall we not consider it as

“The nation needs Shoes rather than Books” ???

Light...

I chose, and my world was shaken–so what?
The choice may have been mistaken but choosing was not.
You have to move on.
Look at what you want, Not at where you are, Not at what you’ll be.
Look at all the things you’ve done for me:
Opened up my eyes Taught me how to see Notice every tree! Understand the light!

Caution! Fresh water could be fatal.

Karachi: 8 people were killed atSouthern Part of Pakistan in last one week by amoebic disease identified as ‘Naegleria’.

According to TheNewsTribe’s correspondent from Pakistani metropolitan Karachi that all dies hospitals were admitted in Agha Khan University Hospital and Liaquat National Hospital.

Health expert Dr Shazia says that “Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that lives in fresh water and soil.”

“N. fowleri is a water-borne disease. Exposure occurs when people come into contact with warm, fresh water usually through swimming, diving, water skiing, or other recreational activity.” She said “The organism goes through three stages in its life cycle: cysts, flagellates, and trophozoites. It is the trophozoite form that causes human disease.” She added while talking to TheNewsTribe.

The danger of serious infection comes when water containing Naegleria fowleri is forced in into the nose and nasal mucosa. The parasite then migrates through the olfactory nerves and enters the brain.

Naegleria are “thermophilic,” meaning that they prefer warmer water. However, the cysts are able to survive for months in very cold water. Thus, Naegleria infection is found both in tropical and temperate climates.

Here are some Naegleria fowleri infection facts

Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba that lives predominately in warm, fresh water.

Naegleria fowleri is acquired by people when infected water is forcibly aspirated into the nose. This can occur through recreational swimming, diving, or during sports like water skiing.

Once acquired, the amoeba travels into the brain, causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).

PAM is very rare, and there are only a few cases reported each year in the United States.

People with PAM initially experience changes in smell or taste. The disease advances rapidly, causing fever, stiff neck, and coma.

Infection is diagnosed by examining spinal fluid under the microscope to identify the amoeba. Naegleria fowleri may also be grown in the laboratory, although this takes several days. Newer tests based on PCR technology are being developed.

The treatment of choice is an intravenous drug called amphotericin B. Amphotericin B may also be instilled directly into the brain.

More than 95% of cases of PAM are fatal despite treatment.

Symptoms and signs of a Naegleria fowleri infection

After entering the nose, the amoeba travels into the brain along the olfactory nerve and through membranes to enter the brain. Once there, it causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (meaning inflammation of the brain and the lining around the brain). In the popular press, Naegleria fowleri is sometimes called the brain-eating amoeba, and meningoencephalitis is sometimes referred to as Naegleriasis.

Symptoms usually appear within five days after exposure but can be delayed up to two weeks. Patients may initially notice changes in smell or taste. Fever, headache, loss of appetite, and nausea follow quickly. The patient becomes confused or semiconscious and finally comatose. Physical examination shows fever and a stiff neck (meningismus).

How is a Naegleria fowleri infection diagnosed?

A spinal tap will be done to examine the spinal fluid. Infection is diagnosed by seeing the amoeba under the microscope. Traditional Gram staining is not used to detect Naegleria because the heat used in the fixation process destroys the organism. Although not specific to Naegleria, the spinal fluid often has a mild elevation in the levels of proteins and a mild decrease in glucose, along with a high white cell count, and is often bloody in the later stages of disease.

Because rapid diagnosis is critical, examination of the spinal fluid is imperative. The organism can also be cultured in the laboratory using on a plate that is coated with bacteria for the amoeba to eat. The culture takes a few days. Newer tests are becoming available that use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to detect amoebic DNA in spinal fluid.

How Naegleria fowleri infections be prevented?

Infection with Naegleria fowleri can be prevented by avoiding aspiration of fresh water into the nose. Although there have been investigations of how to reduce the risk of disease, it is not possible to eliminate the amoeba from all freshwater sources. Standard chlorination of swimming pools is sufficient to eliminate the organism. Untreated well water should not be forced into the nose or used to irrigate the nose.

Before current spread in Pakistan, Naegleria appeared in 1965 in Australia. 144 patient died till the date in the USA and UK
