Abstract: Across sectional study was conducted from June- September 2015 on 384 randomly selected sheep Haromaya district East Hararghe zone, Eastern Ethiopia with the objective of determining the major gastrointestinal (GIT) parasites and their prevalence in sheep. Fecal samples were collected from all animals and subjected to floatation, sedimentation and fecal smear techniques. The study found that the overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in ovine was 60.4% (232/384). Different types of helminthes parasites were identified with prevalence of 43.8% strongyle spp, 8.9% strongholds spp, 5.4%mixed and 2.6% Trichuris spp in sheep was recorded. There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in prevalence of GIT parasites between different ages and sex of animals. However, there was no significant difference (P> 0.05) in the prevalence of GIT parasites between peasant associations. Out of 384 sheep examined strongyle spp eggs dominated the spectrum of infections where the prevalence was 43.8% in sheep that indicates strongyle parasites are major health problem of small ovine species in the study area. Therefore, further study is required to quantify the prevailing parasites species and assess for seasonal dynamics of the gastro-intestinal parasites in the study area and thereby to design appropriate control methods that enable to overcome the existing problem.

Abstract: Background: Acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI), primarily pneumonia, is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children younger than 5 y of age, particularly in developing countries. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine whether subclinical vitamin D deficiency in children from 2 months up to 5 years of age is a risk factor for severe acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI). Patient and methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study was carried out on 100 children divided into two groups: Group 1(n=70): patients with severe lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) mostly bronchopneumonia and acute bronchiolitis. Group 2(n=30): control group of apparently healthy children with matched age and sex with patient groups presenting by minimalcompliant in outpatient clinics. All cases were taken from out and inpatient pediatric department and intermediate care unit of Bab- ELshearia university hospital, AL-Azhar faculty of medicine after approval of pediatric department and university ethical committee, during the period from November 2015 to May 2016. Results: Serum vitamin D level was lower in patients (46.24 ± 25.84) than control (64.02 ± 23.79) with significant difference (p=0.002). Conclusion: Subclinical vitamin D deficiency in children younger than 5 years old has significant risk factors for severe ALRI in Egyptian children.

Abstract: Purpose of review: Magnetic resonance imaging has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool for the imaging of the pediatric genitourinary tract. The aim of this review is to evaluate updated role of magnetic resonance urography in evaluation of obstructive uropathy in pediatrics. Recent findings: Magnetic resonance imaging can provide both a detailed anatomic and functional assessment of the pediatric genitourinary tract in a single study without the use of ionizing radiation. Magnetic resonance urography combines static and dynamic evaluation of the urinary tract following contrast administration and has been most often applied to the evaluation of hydronephrosis. In addition to unparalleled anatomic assessment, it allows for the evaluation of glomerular filtration rate, renal transit time, and differential renal function. It also provides unique insights into a wide range of obstructive uropathies and has been demonstrated to be useful in the evaluation of complex genitourinary anomalies. Magnetic resonance voiding cystourethrography has been used to rule out vesicoureteral reflux. Summary: Magnetic resonance imaging has emerged as a powerful tool for the diagnosis of pediatric genitourinary anomalies. It provides functional and anatomic assessment with a single procedure that in most cases is superior to conventional procedures., MRU may serve as the most comprehensive and definitive study in the evaluation of urinary tract obstruction, complex genitourinary anomalies, and infection.

Abstract: Physico-chemical and biological/bacteriological analysis involving colour, odour, temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolve solute, total hardness, total alkalinity, calcium and magnesium hardness, nitrate, Iron, chloride, manganese, calcium, magnesium, sodium, chromium, sulphate, copper, fluoride, bicarbonate, total suspended solid, coliforms, E-coli, and Enterococcus faecalis were carried out on fifteen hand dug and borehole water in Ose and Owo local governments areas of Ondo State, Southwestern Nigeria with the aim of determining their suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. The Water Quality Index and Canadian Water Quality Index were used to characterize the sampled waters. The Water Quality Index showed that the water samples are “very poor/unsuitable” for drinking while Canadian water Quality index characterized the samples as “marginal to fair drinking water” and with 50% correlation. The Wilcox plot showed that the sampled water are excellent for irrigation. The biological test recorded high total coliform and E-Coli values above the Standard Organization of Nigeria specification. However no trace of Enterococcus Faecalis was found in the water samples. The sequence of the abundance of the major ions is in the following order of  >  for cations and >  >  >  for anions. The % Na rated the water as “permissible to Doubtful water” for irrigation. Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) and the Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) of the studied water samples rate the water as “excellent and good” for irrigation purpose. The Permeability index (PI) values fall within the First category of 50 – 100 % irrigation water which is rated as “Good – Excellent.” The variation of Chloride in the study indicates a brackish/brackish salt water Type. The electrical conductivity of the water ranges from 120 to 619  with an average of 310 which corresponds to moderate (medium salinity) and constitutes about 60 % of the study area. Subsequent, combining all these results, the water samples need comprehensive treatment for it to be suitable for drinking but have good/excellent potential for irrigation purpose.

Abstract: Background: Stereotactic biopsies are procedures performed to obtain tumor tissue for diagnostic examinations. Cerebral lesions of unknown entities can safely be accessed and tissue can be examined, resulting in correct diagnosis and according treatment. Objective: In this study, we focus on results, approaches, modalities of anesthesia, and complications. Methods: We performed a study, including 20 patients who underwent stereotactic biopsy of the brainstem. All of the patients underwent preoperative MRI. The Leksell stereotactic frame was used. We evaluated histopathological results as well as further treatment; additionally we compared complications of local versus general anesthesia and complications of a frontal versus a trans- cerebellar approach. mean age of 25.45 years. In all patients a final histopathological diagnosis could be established. 15 patients underwent the procedure under local anesthesia, 5 patients in general anesthesia. In 18 patients a frontal approach was performed, while in 2 patients a trans- cerebellar approach was used. Complications occurred in only one patient. Results: Stereotactic biopsies even of lesions in the brainstem are a safe way to obtain tumor tissue for final diagnosis, resulting in adequate treatment. Approach can be trans-cerebellar or frontal and procedure can be performed either under local or general anesthesia.

Abstract: The use finite element software programs to predict the behaviour of structures under different loading patterns and conditions can be considered today as a default analyses technique especially for conventional load patterns and common use structures such as buildings. Structures that designed to resist blast loads mainly are considered as a special structure which need to predict its dynamic response accurately for different loading scenarios and need special software programs rather than the commercial one. Blast field tests are dangerous, expensive, and always have limited size of explosions. So, the analysis of an air craft shelter subjected to general purpose bomb (GP500) at its middle span was done using two advanced finite element software programs LS-DYNA and WAI-MAZ to verify the use of different finite element software programs in blast load analysis. Response was evaluated for the mid-span displacement time history analysis of the shelter. The displacement response closely captures the same shape for both. The displacement value was extremely in close agreement between the two software programs.

Abstract: In this paper, the mechanical properties of hydroxyl-terminated polybotadiene (HTPB) propellant were tested at 293K in various loading conditions. The experiments were carried out by via the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and universal testing machine. The results show that the stress is directly proportional to the strain, the stain rate was found within the elastic limit, and when the modulus incremented, the strain rate increases in each condition. Consequently, the mechanical properties of HTPB propellant should be rate dependent. In integration, predicated on the model proposed by Yang pouriayevali, a modified visco-hyperelastic constitutive model has been proposed to describe the mechanical properties of HTPB propellant over a strain rates ranged from 3.33×10s-1 to 2000s-1.
