Hazrat Sheikh Bahaa al-Din Zakaria al-Multani (566 AH-661 AH) and his efforts in benevolence, self-purification, and self-purification
Full text linkSheikh Zakaria bin Muhammad Al-Multani Al-Arabi Al-Qurayshi was born in Multan in 578 AH and learned from Sheikh Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi, author of the book (Awarif al-Ma'arif). This research will present the Sheikh’s efforts in purification, charity, and Sufism, and his life is a lesson in the life of this new Islamic nation for the hearts of the dead. Creates a new passion for life. It is the source of Sufi life and benevolence or self-purification. In light of the strenuous efforts and the clear and invaluable impact of the personality of Sheikh Al-Islam Zakaria, may God have mercy on him, in the Indian subcontinent, a chair was allocated in the Department of Arabic Language at Bahauddin Zakaria University in Multan under the name “Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria Chair,” and work on it began in October 2007. The main objective of this chair is to promote the scientific, educational and religious services of Hazrat Sheikh Al-Islam Bahauddin Zakaria in Sufism. Islamic Sufism was promoted in the Indian subcontinent according to the Suhrawardi series at his hands
Pulse-wave Doppler interrogation of the abdominal aorta: A window to the left heart and vasculature
No full textThe long term results of the Ross procedure: The importance of candidate selection
No full textThe Ross procedure has been considered in children as an optimal surgical procedure due to potential growth of the aortic annulus, lack of anticoagulation requirement, very low morbidity rate and excellent survival. Five-hundred-thirty-six (366 male, mean age 29.4 ± 11.1 years) underwent Ross procedure between 1990 and 2016 and had complete clinical and echocardiographic follow-up. Mean follow-up was 16.3 ± 4.9 years. Patients were divided in 2 groups according to age at surgery. Group 1 consisted of 320 (60%) patients less than 18 years old (223 male, mean age at surgery of 9.5 ± 5.6 years). Group 2 consisted of 216 (40%) patients older than 18 years of age (143 male, mean age at surgery of 26.3 ± 8.2 years). One-hundred-thirty (24%) patients had a redo procedure or surgery. Freedom from all re-operation and or percutaneous reintervention on either the aortic and pulmonary valves was 99% after 1 year, 94% after 5 years, 89% after 10 years, 83% after 15 years and 78% after 20 years. Freedom from redo surgery for AV 99% after 1 year, 94% after 5 years, 90% after 10 years, 81% after 15 years and 80% after 20 years. Freedom from redo surgery for PV was 100% after 1 year, 95% after 5 years, 89% after 10 years, 78% after 15 years and 76% after 20 years. The ideal candidate for Ross operation is a patient with congenital aetiology and an aortic root diameter ≤ 15 mm/m2. A pulmonary fresh preserved homograft seems to perform better on the long term

Left ventricular mechanics after arterial switch operation: A speckle-Tracking echocardiography study
No full textThe arterial switch operation (ASO) is nowadays the standard procedure for the repair of dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA). Reduced exercise capacity, coronary artery abnormalities, and reversible myocardial perfusion defects have been demonstrated in patients who have undergone ASO. Despite this, indices of systolic function, assessed by standard echocardiography, are within the normal range. Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) can detect early subclinical myocardial abnormalities in several diseases even in the presence of normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction.Background The arterial switch operation (ASO) is nowadays the standard procedure for the repair of dextro-Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA). Reduced exercise capacity, coronary artery abnormalities, and reversible myocardial perfusion defects have been demonstrated in patients who have undergone ASO. Despite this, indices of systolic function, assessed by standard echocardiography, are within the normal range. Speckle-Tracking echocardiography (STE) can detect early subclinical myocardial abnormalities in several diseases even in the presence of normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. Aim To assess LV systolic myocardial deformation and torsion in asymptomatic ASO patients with normal LV ejection fraction (≥55%) by using STE. Methods We studied 62 asymptomatic patients (26 women) who have undergone single-stage ASO for simple d-TGA, aged 8.5±5.7 years, with a normal LV ejection fraction (≥55%); 31 age and sex comparable controls (14 women), aged 7.9±4.9 years. Results In patients who have undergone ASO, global LV longitudinal strain was significantly lower than that in controls (-19.2±2.9% vs.-22.7±2.4%, respectively, P<0.0001). Longitudinal deformation was significantly impaired in the anterior and both anterior and posterior septal walls. In patients who have undergone ASO global circumferential strain and LV torsion were similar to controls. At multivariate analysis global LV longitudinal strain was significantly correlated only with age at surgery (P=0.005). Conclusion We demonstrated a significant reduction in longitudinal myocardial deformation correlated with the age at surgical repair, despite a normal LV ejection fraction, in the largest series of asymptomatic ASO patients by using STE. Our findings suggest early (≤7 days) operation on d-TGA patients and continued monitoring of ventricular function by STE
The poetic witness of Baha Al-Din Al-Subki in Arus Alafrh Book
Full text linkThe poetic witness has a great effect in the Arabic lesson, ancient and modern, whether the lesson is grammatical, linguistic or rhetorical. By quickly following the references and sources of ancient Arabic, the researcher notes that the poetic witness appears once in a body, another in an explanation, and a third in a summary and abbreviation. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Arabic in general and rhetoric in particular at that time carved an educational approach, so it is noted that the poetic verse was used as a witness or an example of the rule, although in this use the witness was amputated from its context. Among the sources of Arabic that made a lot of use of poetic evidence to reinforce a rule or to refute a previous opinion is the book In Arus Al-Afrh by Bahaa Al-Din Al-Subki (773 AH
