Abstract:
Purpose:
Study surgical
techniques used in management of CCJ lesions either: Anterior,
Posterior and Posterolateral approach with attention to their
relative effect on the outcome.
Patients and Methods:
Prospective case series, 35
patients with different pathologies, neoplastic and non-neoplastic
lesions treated by either posterior, anterior, combined approach
or far lateral approach. Complete clinical and radiological
study including Plain radiographs and CT and MRI cervical spine
were done in all cases.
Results:
35 cases with different pathologies, the mean age:
Mean ± SD = 51.23 ± 20.24 and
male: female ratio is (28.6%: 71.4%). 5 neoplastic Cases with
different types and 30 Cases of Non-Neoplastic origin. Post
approach was the main approach used in 33 Cases, anterior
approach in 3 cases and far lateral approach was used in One
case. We had mild hypoglossal nerve
dysfunction in one case, Failure of fusion and redo surgery in 2
cases and wound infection in one case.
Conclusion:-
Posterior approach is safe and covers a wide range of management
for most of the CSJ lesions, for either decompression or tumors
posteriorly or poster-laterally located or fusion for
instability cases with minimal side effects.- Anterior and far
lateral approach is less popular with limited indications.

Abstract:
Background: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third
among the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. In Egypt,
CRC is the 7th most common cancer. Several proteins are
associated with the development and progression of colorectal
carcinoma including TRAP1 and KAI1/CD82 proteins. However, it is
still controversial whether TRAP1 and KAI1/CD82 expression can
be regarded as prognostic factors for colorectal carcinoma
patients. Aim of the Work: The aim of this work is
to study the immunohistochemical expression of TRAP1 and
KAI1/CD82 in CRC and evaluate the relationship between their
expression in CRC with the available prognostic parameters such
as grading, staging, vascular and perineural invasion in the
studied cases in order to evaluate their significance in
prognosis. Materials and Methods: The
immunohistochemical expression of TRAP1 and KAI1/CD82 markers
was evaluated in 73 cases of colorectal carcinoma. Results:
TRAP1 expression in colorectal carcinoma showed
statistically significant positive relation with tumor
histopathological grade, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node
status, tumor stage, vascular and perineural invasion. KAI1/CD82
expression in colorectal carcinoma showed statistically
significant inverse relation with the histopathological grade,
depth of tumor invasion, lymph node status, distant metastasis,
tumor stage, vascular and perineural invasion. There was a
statistically significant negative correlation between the
immunohistochemical expression of TRAP1 and KAI1/CD82 in
colorectal carcinoma. Conclusions and Recommendations:
Combined high expression of TRAP1 with loss of KAI1/CD82
expression suggests poor prognosis and high risk of metastasis
in CRC patients. Further studies are needed to confirm the
significance of combined use of TRAP1 and KAI1/CD82 expressions
in the modulation of treatment regimens in CRC.

Abstract:
Objectives:
To determine the prevalence of
expiratory central airway collapse in children undergoing
flexible bronchoscopy.
Methods:
This study was
carried out on 113 patients below the age of 16 years who have
symptoms and signs suggestive of
expiratory central airway
collapse. Thirty eight patients (20
male and 18 female) were diagnosed with expiratory
central airway collapse by flexible
bronchoscopy. End-inspiratory and dynamic expiratory
cross-sectional airway areas at aorta, carina and bronchus
intermedius were recorded in order to assess the degree of
dynamic airway collapse by cine CT in 23 of the 38 patients
included in the study and
the percentage of luminal collapse was calculated. Results:
Thirty eight patients (20
male and 18 female; median age 13 months with range 3-39 months)
were actually diagnosed with expiratory central airway collapse,
indicating a prevalence of 33.6% of the disease. The most common
presenting symptoms were recurrent chest infection in 14
patients (36.8%), stridor in 13 patients (34.2%), wheeze in 9
patients (23.7%), cough in 9 patients (23.7%), rattling in
6patients (15.8%) and cyanosis in 1 patient (2.6%).
Conclusion:
Flexible bronchoscopy is the
“gold standard” for diagnosing and assessing changes in airway
luminal size associated with expiratory central airway collapse.

Abstract:
This work investigates the impact of foreign direct investment
and other factors on unemployment reduction in Pakistan for the
period of 1990-2017. The study utilized Auto Regressive
Distributive Lag (ARDL) model and Error Correction Mechanism (ECM)
to test long run and short run relationship among FDI,
inflation, Bureaucracy, labour density and unemployment. The
results reveal that FDI and Bureaucracy have negative and
statistically negative influence on unemployment both in the
short and long run. In the long run, Inflation has positive
significant effect on unemployment reduction but, in short runs
have no-significant impact on unemployment reduction. However,
Labour density has constructive significant influence on the
reduction of unemployment in both short run as well as long run.
Policy recommendations are given based on the results obtained
in this study.

Abstract:
Objective:
Comparing the incidence of a third head of biceps brachii muscle
in Egyptian cadavers to other racial ones. Introduction:
A third head of biceps brachii is
important both clinically and academically. During routine
dissection of cadavers in anatomy department, Tanta and
Alexandria universities in Egypt, a third head of biceps brachii
was noticed in the upper limb. The third head of biceps
brachiimost commonly originated from anteroromedial aspect of
the inferior part of shaft of humerus (humeral head).Variations
in the biceps brachii muscle heads stands most commonly
recognized to cause compression of nearby neurovascular channels
which must be respected during armsurgery. Materials
and methods: Twenty cadavers were studied for this research.
Forty Arms (20 right and 20 left arms) were dissected in the
Anatomy Section, Tanta and Alexandria Faculties of Medicine
irrespective of age or sex. Results: A third head of
biceps brachii was found in two out of forty upper limbs on the
left side. Conclusion: awareness of additional head of
the biceps brachii in Egyptian population is beneficial in upper
limb surgery.

Abstract: Background:
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a
non-invasive, non-dye-based imaging modality that is used
worldwide in the daily practice of ophthalmology. OCTA enhances
our understanding of retinal diseases and retinal vascular
changes.
Objective: To evaluate, by means of optical coherence
tomography angiography (OCTA) the changes that may occur at the
macular vessels after phacoemulsification surgery and if these
changes can affect the post-operative visual acuity. Patients
and Methods: It was a prospective study carried out at Al
Zahraa University Hospital on 30 eyes of 21 Patients with senile
cataract were included. Retina vessel density at the macular
area was checked by OCT A at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after
cataract surgery. Results:
Thirty eyes (21 patients) were included in the final analysis.
There was a significant increase in retinal vessel density at
the macular area after the cataract surgery, repeated-measures
which extended to the end of the follow-up period. At 3 months
postoperatively, Appearance of hyper reflective retinal spots
post operatively was also noted.
Conclusions:
Macular vessel density increased after phacoemulsification
surgery.
These changes seem not to affect visual acuity. Whether these
changes will persist over a longer period of time, that still
needs to be studied.

Abstract:
Zebda
mango trees during 2017 and 2018 seasons were sprayed four times
by foliar application of turmeric and Rosella extracts as well
as onion and garlic oils at 1.0 % and 2.0% from every materials,
This study focused on the impact of these treatments on growth
status of Zebdatrees, yield, physical and chemical
characteristics of the fruits Sprayed with
these extracts at four times results indicated that spraying was
effective in enhancing growth traits, yield and Fruit quality
rather than non- application " control". The promotion was
associated with increasing the concentration of these
extracts from 1.0% up to 2.0 %. Using
garlic
oil was surpassed those of the other treatments at the
concentration of 2%, in both seasons2017 and 2018,
significantly.

Fast Radio Burst And Gamma Ray Burst: Hidden Causes Of Their
Peculiar Propagation Times
Antonio Puccini

or
antonio_puccini@libero.it
Abstract:
We analyze the peculiar propagation times of Fast Radio Bursts
and Gamma Ray Bursts. The main feature of these peculiar and
high-energy astrophysical phenomena lies precisely in the
different speeds with which the different electro-magnetic (EM)
signals, carried by the Bursts, propagate. Surprisingly, in
fact, instead of travelling all at the same speed (Maxwell
docet), the satellites unequivocally recorded first the
arrival of the most energetic EM signals, i.e. of greater
frequency, and then the less energetic ones (bigger wavelength).
According to astrophysicists, the interstellar medium acts as a
brake, slowing down the EM radiations (EMRs) with
bigger wavelength. We believe that the real cause, the deeper
reason behind the different EMRs propagation speeds,
lies in the different EM sources: the more energetic the source
is the more energetic the acceleration given to the photons
produced will be.

Abstract:
Background:
Parotid gland (PG)
is a unique major salivary that has distinct microanatomical and
microanatomical features.
Aim of study:
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of rat
thyroidectomy on PG ultrastructural features of young adult and
adult albino rats.
Material and methods:
twenty young aged adults two-month-old and twenty adult male
aged six-month-old albino rats were allocated equally into two
subgroups; control and thyroidectomized groups. Rats of each
group were euthanized after five weeks. Bilateral PGs were
dissected and were prepared for light, immunohistochemical
staining for thyroglobulin antibody and electron microscopic
examination. Results:
Thyroidectomized young adult rats revealed acinar alteration in
the form of accumulation of intracellular inclusions. Also,
intralobular ducts revealed indistinct lumen.
Immunohistochemically, it disclosed positive thyroglobulin
staining in
both acinar and ductal cells.
Noteworthy, five weeks after
thyroidectomyin adult rats revealed normal histological and
ultrastructural features of both acinar and ductal cells.
Though, some degree of increased thickness of connective tissue
septa were reported together with fatty infiltration of
parenchymal elements.
Conclusion:
Thyroidectomy seemed to induce a remarkable cellular change in
young adult PG
though, minor changes were reported in adult PG.

Abstract:
This
study analysed artisanal fishing in Degema Local Government Area
of Rivers State. A random sampling technique was used in
selecting respondents for the study. The sample size of the
study was made up of 90 artisanal fishing folks. Data were
elicited from fishing folks with a structured questionnaire
which were administered to the respondents. Percentage, mean,
costs and returns and multiple regressions were used for
analyses of data. The result showed that the mean age of
respondents was 40 years, while the mean house hold size was 6
persons. The result also showed that majority of the respondents
had primary education and that most respondents had no access to
credit facilities to enable them purchase fishing equipments for
their operations. The study also shows that the fishing folks
had never received extension service which should have exposed
them to better fishing techniques and training. The costs and
returns analysis showed that artisanal fishing is profitable in
the study area. The regression analysis also revealed that the
output of individual fishing households is significantly
influenced by variables, namely, capital, labour, operating
costs, fishing experience and education. It is therefore
recommended that relevant agencies should encourage this fishing
folks by providing them with the needed capacities to boost fish
production to curb open and hidden hunger, promote food security
and alleviate poverty.

Education, Kuwait
Email:
prof.fatemah.khuraibet@gmail.com
Abstract:
The rapid progress in training and its methods is one of the
factors that contributed to the high rates of sports injury and
its complications, especially injuries of the muscular and
nervous system, due to the use of high intensity and for long
periods with the absence of the correct codification of
pregnancy in a manner consistent with the functional condition
of the player. The injuries of the articular system are of
concern to athletes, as the human movement in general and the
sports movement in particular depends on the basic movements
performed by the joints, so any injury in these joints hinders
the athlete from successfully completing his motor tasks.
objectives:
The current research aims to design a rehabilitation program
(kinetic - aqueous) and study its effect on the functional
efficiency of the muscles working on the knee joint after the
partial surgical repair of the anterior cruciate ligament and
its effect on: 1. Reducing pain severity. 2. Improving muscular
strength for the group of the flexor and extensor muscles of the
affected knee joint. 3. Improving the affected knee joint motor
range.
hypotheses:1.
There are statistically significant differences between the mean
pre-measurement and the average post-measurement in reducing
pain in the affected knee joint in favor of post-measurement.
2. There are statistically significant differences between
the mean pre-measurement and the average post-measurement in the
muscle strength of the holding muscle group and the extensor of
the affected knee joint in favor of post-measurement.3
There are statistically significant differences between the mean
pre-measurement and the mean after measurement in the kinetic
range of the affected knee joint in favor of the
post-measurement.
Conclusions:
1.
The rehabilitation program (kinetic - aqueous) has a positive
effect on the functional efficiency of the muscles working on
the knee joint after the partial surgical repair of the anterior
cruciate ligament. 2. There are statistically significant
differences between the tribal and the dimensional measurements
in favor of the dimensional measurements in all the variables
(circumference of the thigh, muscle strength, pain intensity,
and kinetic range) of the affected knee.3. Increasing the
improvement in the percentages of the rates of changing the
dimensional measurements from the tribal measurements in the
research variables.
