Experts say that dozens of Pakistanis are being disabled from cutting feet every day as a result of complications of diabetes. 

Addressing the concluding session of the three-day conference in Karachi, experts said that the number of disabled people in Pakistan due to cutting of feet due to complications of diabetes is increasing day by day and it is estimated that every year about 4 00,000 people in Pakistan are amputated due to injuries caused by diabetes. 

According to experts, if people suffering from diabetes are made aware and 3,000 clinics are set up in the country to treat foot injuries caused by diabetes, then 70 to 80 percent of the people can be saved from disability. 

The conference was organized by the National Association of Diabetes Educators of Pakistan in collaboration with The International Diabetes Federation, Diabetic Foot International and Baqai Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology. 

Addressing the conference, Dr. Saiful Haq, President, National Association of Diabetes Educators of Pakistan said that diabetes is not yet seen as a major health problem in Pakistan even though the number of deaths and disabilities as a result has reached millions. 

Dr. Saif-ul-Haq said that the number of people suffering from diabetes in Pakistan has increased so much that it is no longer possible to treat all of them and only by spreading awareness, people can be saved from the complications of this disease. 

Renowned diabetologist Prof Dr Zahid Mian, Prof Abdul Basit, Prof Zaman Sheikh and experts from France, Italy, Lebanon, South Africa and other countries addressed the conference. 

On this occasion, three renowned health experts of Pakistan, Professor Ejaz Vohra, Professor Tahir Hussain and Dr. Fatima Javed were also given lifetime achievement awards. 

In the closing ceremony of the conference, three young doctors and researchers were also awarded cash prizes for their research efforts.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
