Abstract: Background: Cataract surgery has gained worldwide acceptance as a vision-correction operation. Cataract surgery has changed from a sight-saving operation to a refractive procedure. However, cataract surgery is currently associated with the degradation of visual quality with the appearance of artifacts such as halos, glare, and starbursts. The reduction in visual quality is mainly attributed to the development of higher-order aberrations (HOAs) induced by cataract surgery. Aim of the Work: To evaluate the corneal higher order aberration one week before and 3 months after phacoemulsification surgery using 3.2mm keratome with clear corneal incisions. Patient & Methods: A total of 50 eyes from 50 patients (23 right eyes and 27 left Eyes) were analyzed in this prospective study. Results: According to Astigmatism: there is significant difference between pre and post according to astigmatism which it is decreased postoperative. According to coma: there is no significant difference between pre and post according to coma. According to trifoil: significant difference between pre and post according to Trifoil I which it is increased postoperative. According to Spherical aberration: there is significant difference between pre and post according to spherical aberration which it is decreased postoperative. Conclusions: Cataract operation should be preceded by Pentacam to evaluate astigmatism, coma, trefoil & spherical aberrations to consider them during surgery.

Abstract: Background: Extra-oral SMD ligation causes parasympathetic nerve damage which is accompanied by a severe SMG atrophy that may be irreversible. Cell-based therapies using PRP receive great attention in regeneration of various tissues. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of SMD ligation on rat SMG with inclusion of the chorda tympani nerve, examine the microscopic structure of SMG after parasympathetic denervation, and to investigate the effect of locally injected PRP on regeneration of SMG after duct deligation in Albino rats. Methods: The study sample was consisting of 50 adult male Albino rats. Forty rats were randomly divided into two equal experimental groups; group I was subjected to extra-oral SMD ligation for two weeks and left without any treatment after duct deligation, and group II was subjected to extra-oral SMD ligation for two weeks and treated with PRP at the time of deligation. The remaining ten rats were used for PRP extraction. The left SMGs were used as negative control in both groups. Five rats of each group were scarified at day zero, just after deligation, and before any treatment to evaluate the effect of ligation and then on 3, 7 and 14 days after deligation respectively. The rats were anesthetized, and the specimens of SMG were collected and prepared for LM investigation using H & E and Masson trichrome stains. Results: qualitatively, in positive control group, LM results of right SMGs revealed marked degenerative changes persisted on all follow up periods and the severity of these changes was increased gradually from day zero to 14. LM results of the left (unligated) SMGs showed almost normal histological appearances for both groups. Nonetheless, in PRP group clear regeneration of SMG tissues was appeared at follow up periods 7 and 14. Conclusion: Our study showed that extra-oral SMD ligation causes severe irreversible atrophic changes of SMG tissues. Moreover, PRP appeared to be histologically effective in the regeneration of SMGs.

Abstract: Background: Arterial stiffness increments with aging and hypertension. Normal physical action has been suggested as an essential management component of hypertension. Purpose: To inspect the response of interval aerobic training program in diminishing arterial stiffness and blood pressure in hypertensive female patients. Methods: Forty female hypertensive patients referred medically, ages extended from 40:65 years of age, were relegated into two equivalent groups (Group A and B): group A were stage 1- mild grade essential hypertension (EH) while group B were stage 2-moderate essential hypertension (EH) and both groups got a similar high-intensity aerobic interval training program. The duration of treatment was twelve weeks, three times week after week, for a long time forty minutes for every session. Patients were evaluated their arterial stiffness utilizing Non-invasive blood pressure measurement system (Pulse Wave Velocity [PWV] analysis equipment) and peripheral arterial blood pressures utilizing an automated digital electronic BP monitor. Results: Within group comparison, a significant enhancement of estimated factors with more prominent enhancement in all factors for group B. Between group comparison, a significant difference in just estimations of PWV (pulse wave velocity), there was no significant in AIx @75 HR (augmentation index), SBP (systolic blood pressure) and DBP (diastolic blood pressure). Conclusion: The utilization of aerobic interval training can successfully enhance arterial stiffness and blood pressure in both stages (1 & 2) hypertensive female patients, with better enhancement change of arterial stiffness parameters and blood pressure considerably more in group B (stage 2) than group A (stage 1).

Abstract: SINO-PAK enjoys a cordial relationship and friendly relationship over the years. Bilateral trade could further strengthen the Pak-China relationship with the help of China-Pak Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA) signed in November 2006 and effect from July 2007, initiated a new dimension in the promotion of trade between two countries. The panel data set dealing with the period 2003-2017 will be evaluated in this paper. Gravity model used for the analysis of data which is a typically used tool for the evaluation of bilateral trade activities and also showed to be useful in describing bilateral trade of Pakistan with China and with all Free Trade Agreement (FTA) partner nations by higher values of R-Square. The outcomes showed that GDP, trade openness in each country, WTO and the shared border nations positively influenced on Pakistan with all FTA-partner countries’ bilateral trade, while distance and inflation revealed a negative relation towards trade volume. It additionally specified that the overall (Preferential Trade Agreements) PTAs impact on Pakistan along with its (FTA) partner nations’ bilateral trade is strongly significant and negative. We have also estimated enormous Pakistan’s trade potential just in case of China. Pakistan’s industrial sectors, as well as exporters, must take on new steps to increase and maximise the exports to China and to generate sensible equality in the bilateral trading relationship.

Abstract: During 2016/ 2017 & 2017/ 2018 seasons, Valencia orange trees received three sprayes at growth start, just after fruit setting and two months later with Moringa oil and methylene urea each at 0.05 % to 0.2 %. The merit was examining the effect of these treatments on fruiting of the trees. Treating the trees with Moringa oil and/or methylene urea each at 0.05 % to 0.2 % gave an obvious promotion on growth, nutritional status of the trees, yield and fruit quality relative to the control. Using methylene urea was superior in improving all the investigated parameters than using Moringa oil. Combined applications were favorable than using each material alone in this connection. Carrying out three sprays of a mixture of Moringa oil and methylene urea each at 0.1 % was necessary for improving yield and fruit quality of Valencia orange trees.

Abstract: During 2017 and 2018 seasons, Sewy date palms were hand pollinated with five fresh per strand; powdered pollens at 2.0g, powdered pollens enriched with 0.5 to 4.0 g Royal Jelly with or without 0.5 g boric acid per each female spathe. The merit was examining of the effect of these ten pollination treatments on fruit retention %, yield, bunch weight fruit weight and dimensions, seed and flesh weights%, T.S.S.%, total, reducing and non- reducing sugars %, pH, total acidity %, total soluble tannins and total fibre % in the fruits. Carrying out hand pollination using powdered pollens enriched with 0.5 to 4.0 g Royal Jelly with or without 0.5 g boric acid had an obvious promotion on the percentage of fruit retention, yield, bunch weight as well as physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits relative to conducting hand pollination using five fresh strands or powdered pollens at 2.0 g / spathe alone. The promotion was materially associated with increasing levels of Royal Jelly added to powdered pollens from 0.5 to 4.0 g / spathe as well as the addition of 0.5 g boric acid to the mixture of powdered pollens and Royal Jelly. Increasing levels of Royal Jelly applied with powdered pollens from 2.0 to 4.0 g / spathe had no material promotion on all the investigated parameters. Carrying out hand pollination using a mixture of 2.0 g powdered pollens + 2.0 g Royal Jelly + 0.5 g boric acid / spathe was responsible for promoting yield and fruit quality of Sewy date palms grown under New Valley conditions.

Abstract: Background: It is now well known that AKI affecting large number of ICU patients with variable incidence, which increases risk of death especially in patients who need RRT. Aim of the work: This study aims to screen the critically ill patients admitted to El-Sahel Teaching Hospital cardiac and medical ICUs for acute kidney injury that based on RIFLE, KDIGO and AKIN criteria. Patients and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, Patients were screened for AKI during the interval from May 2017 to May 2018, using RIFLE, KDIGO and AKIN criteria. All patients enrolled in the study have subjected to full history taking and thorough clinical examination. The severity of illness of patients admitted to ICUs was assessed using SOFA score. Results: Hospital acquired AKI in ICU was documented in 73.26% (200/273). The most independent risk factor for developing AKI was sepsis according to the multivariate logistic analysis (p value: 0.001, estimated odds ratio: 0.217 and confidence interval between 0.086 and 0.547). Dehydration comes in the second place (p value: 0.020, estimated odds ratio: 0.424 and confidence interval between 0.205 and 0.874). Regarding the outcome of AKI, 71/200 (35.5%) patients show improvement ranging from less severe (RIFLE, AKIN and KDIGO) class to baseline; 40/200 (20%) discharged with full renal recovery, 31/200 (15.5%) discharged with partial renal recovery. 69/200 (34.5%) received RRT and 23/200 (11.5%) patients were discharged on chronic hemodialysis for further follow up. Mortality in the patients with AKI was 106/200 (53%) (10 patients in class R or stage 1, 30 patients in class I or stage 2 and 66 patients in class F or stage 3). On the other hand, mortality in the patients without AKI was 43/73 (58.9%). Conclusion: AKI incidence in El-Sahel Teaching Hospital ICU is 73.26%. The most independent risk factor of AKI in ICU is sepsis. AKI, especially class F or stage 3, has a significant risk in mortality.

Abstract: This study was undertaken during 2016/17 and2017/18 on Balady mandarin trees grown into sour orange citrus root stock. This study consisted of the following twelve treatments Unweeded control, Devo, Devo followed by Round up, Dinimic, Dinimic followed by Select super, Roundup, Roundup twice, life line, Goal twice, mulching with (white and black polyethene) and hand hoening twice. The scope of this investigation was evaluating the efficacy of some single or combinations of pre-residual and postemergence herbicides, manual hoeing as conventional method techniques and plastic mulch as new alternative technique on weeds, and their effects on growth, yield and it components as compared with unweeded check in Balady mandarin orchards Economical study for the promised treatment was calculated. Controlling weeds by using different herbicides manual hoeing and mulching with white and black polyethylene sheets had a material effect on killing the weeds and improving yield and both physical and chemical of the fruits compared with unweeded control. Mulching especially with plastic sheet considerably surpassed the other treatments in controlling weeds and promoting productivity of the trees. For prolonged weed control of the total annual + perennial weeds species which include hard weed combination to kill, It is suggested to use mulching by black plastic sheets or Devo followed by Roundup, or Roundup twice as alternative to control total annual + perennial weeds and to to improve the productivity and fruit quality of Balady mandarin trees grown under middle Egypt conditions Net profit of one feddan previous promised treatment for over the control treatment reached 37825 LE and 43250 LE during both seasons, respectively.

Abstract: Background: The age-related changes of the gastrointestinal tract, availability of the food and the functional ability affect the nutritional intake among elderly people. Most of the diseases originate from malnutrition especially among the vulnerable group as older adults. Therefore, the aim of this study is to improve older adults' nutritional habits. The study followed a quesi experimental research design and was carried out in the Elderly Club at Qena City. Sample; One hundred and six older adults who fulfilled the inclusion criteria participated in this study and assigned randomly into fifty-three intervention group and fifty-three control group. Two tools were used to collect the data; Tool I Structured Interview Form and tool II Mini-Nutritional Assessment Scale. The results of this study revealed that there are no statistically significant differences of frequency of usual food consumed per week between pre-test and Posttest among the intervention or control group (P > 0.05). There are significance differences between pre-test and Posttest of food preparation method and the substances used in cooking among only the intervention group. It was concluded from the current study that the intervention improved the nutritional habits. Based on the study results, it will be useful implement the nutritional educational program at all older organizations which provide services to older adults such as elderly homes, elderly clubs, and hospitals in Egypt.

Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by using Herbal mixtures

ALmoez Ledin Ellah MS Eltouny BSc. Msc. PhD.

Middle East Consultants, Egypt. Email: eltounya@hotmail.com

Abstract: This paper relates the study over fourteen years to determine the causes and treatments of MS, based on Ancient teachings called the Laws of Ancient Wisdom. In essence, the Laws state that: (1) Everything in the Universe is alive and it is full of energy and can be measured. (2) Each herb has an energy level that can be measured. (3) The healing qualities of herbs depend on their vibrational qualities and not only on their chemical or physical properties. Our hypothesis is that the cause of MS is viral and that MS creates negative energy that affects the patient and results in the effects of MS. Taking Vibrational Herbal Medicine treatments, the negative energy due to the disease was eliminated resulting in the two patients becoming fully free of MS in the actual trials. The paper also compares the results of the Vibrational Medicine and the chemical medicine available in the market or in the pipeline of the pharmaceutical companies, on the changes of the energy of the disease and corresponding changes in the symptoms in the patients. The simulation studies showed that none of the chemical medicines, available or in the pipeline was able to reach the energy level that would cause patients’ symptoms to disappear. In contrast, Vibrational Herbal Medicine showed disappearance of symptoms in patients in real life trials. In patients with a long history of the disease, whether the reduction of energy or the disappearance of the disease itself, it was not clear what the degree of recuperation would be. Nor was it evident after what period if any, there would be any reversal of the effects, partially or totally.

Abstract: Pervious rigid pavement is a kind of concrete pavement that allows water to percolate, so it used as storm water drainage system. This paper performed to study utilization of waste materials like; steel slag, crushed granite, and recycled aggregate to develop pervious concrete have appropriate properties to use as concrete pavement. The considered properties in this study were flexural strength, void content, and compressive strength. Three control mixes composed of dolomite with 300kg, 350kg, and 400 kg of cement were used to study the effect of; aggregate type, aggregate size, cement content, and binder to aggregate ratio on the considered properties. The results indicate that concrete mix S3 composed of steel slag aggregate with 400kg of ordinary Portland cement have compressive strength of 325 kg/cm² and flexural strength of 56.35 kg/cm², thus this mix appropriate to use as pavement subjected to heavy traffic loads. While pervious concrete produced using dolomite or crushed granite have strengths and void content with values suitable for concrete pavement subjected to medium traffic loads.
