This qaumi "birth" day, let me share some good news for newborn babies. Your mummy can now have you tested for inherited and non-inherited disorders.
Geneticist Dr Bushra Afroze and @FyezahJehan's Paediatrics team at @AKUGlobal launched Newborn Screening today with Dr Lena Jafri, Dr Salman Kirmani, Dr Azeema Jamil, Dr Ghulam Zainab...
What's unique is the heel prick test to draw one drop of 🩸blood to be able to detect 51 disorders.
Eg: Congenital hypothyroidism in which it doesn't produce enough hormone and the 🐣kid's mental and physical growth is impaired. If you leave it to 2yrs to discover your child isn't talking/walking on time, it's sometimes too late. Now you can tell immediately. And 1 pill, thyroxin, for life fixes this.
This is great for folks who married their cousins, btw.
Costs Rs9,000 and takes 5 days.
Globally this screening is done to tell burden of disease, which we don't know in Pakistan.
Disclaimer: These days I'm working with Paediatrics to help edit scientific papers and update their web pages as a consultant. I don't get paid to tweet this stuff though. My hope is to get this info to parents who need it. @AdilHaiderMD@CEO_AKUHPK said some nice stuff.
Happy to share, Punjab Seed Council approved another CEMB transgenic triple gene cotton variety (CKC-05) for general cultivation in Punjab. CEMB tightly holds flag of true application of biotechnology in agriculture. Congratulations to the scientific and para-scientific staff.
Check out these leaves from the same Quercus cerris tree! 🍃
It's like trying to identify a single actor playing all the roles in a shape-shifting one-man show. In the world of paleobotany, this is our version of a plot twist! 🥲

Congratulations
Another politician is removed from active politics because he was the threat to soo called establishment power.....
The same game played for 75 years with this country.
