Sweka’ Since the and Dealers Takes Place in a Matter of Min- of Its Rebellious Eastern Cities to the Nazi Inva- Age of 14
ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED NEWSPAPER ON SATURDAY TOBACCO THREAT Villaggio evacuated after fire alarm DOHA: Shoppers crowding Villaggio Mall were evacuated after a fire alarm went off in its precincts yesterday, reports Al Sharq. The evacuation was quite quick despite the fact that a lot of people were there on a Friday, the daily said, adding that the mall’s management chose not to comment on the incident. “People inside the mall were evacuated to safety immediately after the alarm went off and before they could know the reason why the alarm had gone off,” said the daily. It was a good experience for the shoppers at the mall to have been taken to safety since memories of a fire that broke out there on May 28, 2012 and claimed 19 lives, mostly of children, were still fresh in their minds, the daily said. Qatari dies in accident DOHA: A Qatari died following a collision between two cars in Um Al Amid area after Friday prayers yesterday. Witnesses said the collision took place when a car ran a red light and the other driver did not notice the oncom- ing car. The Qatari’s car overturned. The traffic police and an ambulance soon reached the site, however, the victim’s life could not be saved. Prototype Ebola drug clears test hurdle PARIS: A prototype drug that has been urgently given to a handful of patients with Ebola has cleared an important test hurdle, showing that it cured lab monkeys with the disease, scientists said yesterday. Reporting online in the British journal Nature, researchers at the Public Health Agency of Canada said 18 rhesus macaque monkeys given high doses of Ebola virus fully recovered after being given a new drug called ZMapp, even when it was administered five days after infection. -
Molecular Characterization of Hepatitis C Virus 3A in Peshawar Amina Gul1,2, Nabeela Zahid3, Jawad Ahmed1, Fazli Zahir3, Imtiaz Ali Khan4 and Ijaz Ali2*
Gul et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2016) 16:163 DOI 10.1186/s12879-016-1488-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Molecular characterization of Hepatitis C virus 3a in Peshawar Amina Gul1,2, Nabeela Zahid3, Jawad Ahmed1, Fazli Zahir3, Imtiaz Ali Khan4 and Ijaz Ali2* Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to explore molecular epidemiology of HCV genotype 3a in Peshawar based on sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of Core region of HCV genome. Methods: Chronically infected Hepatitis C virus infected patients enrolled under the Prime Minister Hepatitis C control program at three Tertiary care units of Peshawar [Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Hayat Abad Medical Complex Peshawar] were included in this cross sectional observational study. Qualitative detection of HCV and HCV genotyping was carried out by a modified reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) andtypespecificgenotypingassay.TheCore gene of HCV genotype 3a was amplified, cloned and sequenced. The sequences obtained were used for phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 6 software. Results: Among the 422 (82.75 %) PCR positive samples, 192 (45.5 %) were identified as having HCV genotype 3a infection. HCV Core gene sequencing was carried out randomly for the characterization of HCV 3a. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the obtained viral genomic sequences based on partial HCV 3a Core gene sequences with reference sequences from different countries showed that our sequences clustered with some local and regional sequences with high bootstrap values. Conclusion: HCV 3a is highly prevalent in Peshawar, Pakistan and its phylogenetics based on Core gene sequences indicate the prevalence of different lineages of HCV 3a in Peshawar which may have consequences for disease management strategies causing more economic pressure on the impoverished population due to possible antiviral resistance. -

Tall claims were made in 2013 elections of a better governance model by PTI based on which it got elected 2. Since past 14 months we have not seen the “Naya” Pakistan promised neither in D-Chowk nor in KP. 3. PTI attracted new segment of youth, women and the educated middle class into voting; but it ended up polluting their minds with hatred and introduced a politics of blames minus proofs. 4. The idea of WP is not to attract more abuses PTI style but to open the eyes of those who claim to be educated to the failed PTI model in KP where real change could have been a role model for Pakistan. 5. Whilst PTI has mastered the art of breaking all laws, wanting to be treated VIP by not adhering to any laws, and of conducting failed dharnas and entertaining jalsas it has not learnt how to deliver when blessed with governance in KP.

Civic Engagement Through Community Service
Civic Engagement Through Community Service APPNA Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America 6414 South Cass Avenue, Westmont, IL 60559-3209, USA EDITORIAL Through think and thin, APPNA was there It is customary of the festive holiday season to reflect back to get a sense of gains and losses as another year swept by us. I am certain you would agree with me that year 2017 saw some of most significant events in our recent history, If we consider our adopted homeland USA, Republicans and Donald Trump took over the Government and Presidency with a very ambitious agenda, not all of it necessarily favorable to us, the whole country especially Houston, and Puerto Rico was devastated by Harvey and Maria, and currently we are experiencing the coldest winter temperatures throughout the East and Midwest. If we look at Pakistan, Judiciary stepped in and disqualified Prime Minister causing some political instability and uncertainty, while as always people of Pakistan still struggling to access basic necessities like Clean Water, Electricity, Gas and Health Care. One commendable aspect of this year for me was the critical role APPNA played in advocating and protecting not only the rights of its members but utilize the collective strength of its membership to engage with local communities and made significant strides in improving relationships within our communities. This year APPNA chapters played much more prominent role albeit it is to collaborate or establish food pantry, establish or further organize Free clinics, or organize health fair in more and more cities. APPNA was at the forefront of disaster relief work not only in USA but also around the world including sending relief missions to Rohingya Muslims forced to migrate to Bangladesh. -
