Pseudo-neoplastic Lesions of Prostate and the Diagnostic Deception
No full textIntroduction: Many pseudo-neoplastic lesions of the prostate gland are recognized. Histologically these lesions mimic the adenocarcinoma of prostate. Pseudo-neoplastic lesions comprise of different glandular and non-glandular or solid patterns. Largely emphasized on the epithelial origin but some stromal and solid lesions are also important. In developing countries, the routine Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain is most commonly used to stain the histological tissue sections. The other stains and molecular studies are not frequently used. The pseudoneoplastic lesions are so obscure and deceptive that sometimes it become very difficult to recognize. The diagnostic facilities both in government and private sector should have at least the facility of immunohistochemical staging to avoid misinterpretations.
Methodology: This retrospective study performed at Muhammad Medical College Mirpurkhas Sindh. 192 specimens of radical prostatectomy (RP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) received between January 2015 to December 2017 were retrieved for review. All retrieved blocks processed as per standard histopathological techniques. Fresh tissue sections taken and stained with H&E.
Results: All tissue sections reviewed to observe the glandular patterns, their architectural morphology, cytological changes and inflammatory process. The lesions were distinguished on epithelial origin and glandular patterns. Cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia were 169 (88 %), adenosis 06 (3.12 %), reactive hyperplasia 06 (3.12 %), Post atrophic hyperplasia 05 (2.6 %), benign stromal proliferation 02 (1 %) and prostate carcinoma 04 (2%).
Conclusion: Many pseudoneoplastic lesions of the prostate are the mimicker of adenocarcinoma. On H&E stains it sometimes become difficult to differentiate the lesions. The histomorphological diagnosis of these lesions should be facilitated at least by immunohistochemical stains at diagnostic tcenters.t

Mir Gul Khan Naseers’ Urdu Poetry: Unveiling hid Poetic Brilliance: میر گل خان نصیرؔ کی اُردو شاعری،فنی عظمت
No full textThe Balochistan region is home to speakers and understanders of numerous languages. The inhabitants of Balochistan are not fully conversant in Urdu, even in this day and age of print and electronic media. About 80 years ago, Mir Gul Khan Naseer brought the scent of Urdu language to the people living in this desolate region. In the color of Urdu poetry, Balochistan was rather a boring tone before him. He may not be a native speaker, yet his poetry in Urdu has a unique fluidity and elegance. His works accurately capture the circumstances and happenings around him. His use of similes and details writing has elevated his poetry’s elegance. He has a whole system of tips and tricks and a jingle of Hindi words can also be heard in his expression.

Effect of prescribed fire on forage production and nutritive value of the perennial grass Saccharum griffithii
No full textThe effect of fire on growth and nutritive value of Saccharum griffithii Munro ex Boiss-ravennae (Linn.) Murr. hybrid, a low palatable perennial grass in the semi-arid region of the highlands of Balochistan, Pakistan, was evaluated during 2008 and 2009. Prescribed fire treatments were applied in February 2008 and 2009 at the dormant stage of vegetation. Different growth parameters (tiller height, tiller number/plant), forage production (fresh, dry) and nutritive value (crude protein, ash) were compared with control (unburnt) plots. Fire increased the number of tillers, and the fresh and. dry forage production in both years. Fire also improved the crude protein contents. Prescribed fire at the dormant stage of vegetation can be used as a vegetation tool to improve the forage quality and quantity of the less preferred grass species Saccharum griffithii Munro ex Boiss-ravennae (Linn.) Murr. hybrid

Aboveground biomass and concentration of nutrients in semiarid rangeland plant species: Influence of grazing and soil moisture
No full textSpatial and temporal patterns of aboveground biomass and nutritive value of rangeland species with respect to the influence of grazing and soil moisture were investigated. The research was conducted during two years at the Tomagh Research Station, near Sanjawi, Ziarat District, Balochistan, Pakistan. This area is protected from grazing since 1998; however, some of the area is open for grazing. Three sites were selected for research purposes: a protected plain, a protected hilly, and an unprotected plain grazed area. Sampling was carried out during the spring, summer and autumn seasons. Results revealed that soil moisture was greater at the protected than unprotected sites. The aboveground plant biomass was 66% to 76% lower at unprotected than protected sites. The biomass of annual plant species was nearly 0 at grazed sites. Species differed in their nutrient concentrations, but these were similar among protected and unprotected grazed areas. Our findings indicate lower nutrient use efficiency at grazed than ungrazed, protected sites. Eleven years of protection from grazing increased significantly plant biomass, enhanced their nutrient use efficiency and allowed growth of annual plant species
A Novel Family of Starlike Functions Involving Quantum Calculus and a Special Function
No full textThe intent of quantum calculus, briefly q-calculus, is to find q-analogues of mathematical entities so that the original object is achieved when a certain limit is taken. In the case of q-analogue of the ordinary derivative, the limit is q→1−. Also, the study of integral as well as differential operators has remained a significant field of inquiry from the early developments of function theory. In the present article, a subclass Sscμ,q of functions being analytic in D=z∈C:z<1 is introduced. The definition of Sscμ,q involves the concepts of subordination, that of q-derivative and q-Ruscheweyh operators. Since coefficient estimates and coefficient functionals provide insights into different geometric properties of analytic functions, for this newly defined subclass, we investigate coefficient estimates up to a4, in which both bounds for |a2| and |a3| are sharp, while that of |a4| is sharp in one case. We also discuss the sharp Fekete–Szegö functional for the said class. In addition, Toeplitz determinant bounds up to T32 (sharp in some cases) and sufficient condition are obtained. Several consequences derived from our above-mentioned findings are also part of the discussion
