Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women worldwide. The course of breast cancer can be alerted through early detection through breast self-examination and prompt treatment. Breast self-examination is a readily available method and doesn’t require a specialized personal or equipment. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of health education and training program for High Institute of Health students on breast self-examination. The study was carried out in High Institute of Health in Benghazi City in Libya [Nursing Department Students]. Sample of the study included 95 students aged from 21 to 26 years old from Benghazi City [urban and rural areas]. The quota sample approach was used. An educational training program concerned with breast self-examination was applied after testing their knowledge about breast cancer and breast self-examination. Re-evaluation of their knowledge and practices was done immediately after the implementation of the program [post-test], and for another time after 3 months [follow-up test] through the same predesigned questionnaire and checklist was conducted to estimate the student’s knowledge and practice before the program.<br /> The results revealed that all students had poor knowledge and practices scores, before the implementation of program and improved markedly after implementation of the program. There is a highly statistical significant difference between pre-test and post-test in knowledge and practices [P=0.000]. Forgetting may lower the percentages of the response in the follow up test but still the different between pre-test and follow-up test [P=0.000]. The study recommended that implantation of health education and training programs for nurses about breast self-examination in Libya, encourage breast self-examination that may be integrated as a part of health promotion program for female, breast self-examination programs must include appropriate cultural content and values that may discourage women and daughters for doing it.

The herein study was endeavored to evaluate the influence of low level laser therapy [LLLT] as an antioxidant on alcohol induced stressors in rats through the determination of malondialdeyde [MDA], glutathione content [GSH], and glutathione peroxidase [GPx] in the blood of 40 rats divided into 4 groups; 10 rats as a control group, 10 rats which ingested ethanol, 10 rats exposed to LLLT, and 10 rats which ingested ethanol and exposed to LLLT. The data of this study revealed that during chronic ethanol consumption there was a high significant increase in the level of MDA associated with a significant decrease in the levels of both blood GSH content as well as the erythrocyte GPx enzyme activity. After applying laser to rats which ingested alcohol there was a significant decrease in the level of MDA associated with a high significant increase in the enzymatic activity of GPx and a significant increase in the GSH content when compared to rats which ingested alcohol alone.<br /> Conclusively, the results of the present study revealed that LLLT have the potential for stimulating enzyme activities which might contribute to increase glutathione concentration and provide protection against oxidative damage. Furthermore, LLLT resulted in a significant increase in the main enzyme of antioxidant system which was glutathione peroxidase resulting in a significant reduction in lipid peroxidation intensity [decrease in the level of serum content of malondialdehyde]. These data suggest that LLLT might have an antioxidant properties and this could explain its therapeutic effects in some pathological conditions.

Background: The expression of leptin and leptin receptors in human placenta and uterine endometrium and the observation that endometrial leptin secretion is enhanced in the presence of viable blastocyst links the polypeptide to early conception development, and to suggest its place among the array of regulators active during the position and adhesion phases of implantation.<br /> Objective: the present study was performed to check the serum leptin level of early aborting females [8-12 weeks] of pregnancy before the development of the placenta. Histopathologic study of the failed abortus was also performed to check the relation between serum leptin level and failure of the trophoblastic invasion and this is the first study correlating these parameters.<br /> Material and methods: Twenty apparently healthy females with 8-12 weeks of pregnancy were matched against thirty apparently healthy aborting females [8-12] weeks of pregnancy. All patients and healthy control were free from any endocrinologic or clinical abnormality at the time of study. Serum leptin was performed by ELISA technique and the histopathologic study was performed by light microscopy.<br /> Results: Serum leptin level was significantly lower in aborting patients than control. Histopathologic study revealed vascular degeneration of the deciduas together with hypertrophic cytotrophoblast showing pseudopapillae sheded in the surrounding stroma in a trial to keep the pregnancy. The invasive syncytiotrophoblast was shedded lining a loose vascular stroma.<br /> Conclusion: Failure of trophoblast invasion in early abortion was associated with low serum leptin level. Hyperplastic trophoblast with pseudopapillary formation was detected by histopathologic study which may be a trial to keep the conceptus. Further studies are needed to determinate if the low serum leptin level is a result or a cause of these changes. This is the first study correlating serum leptin level with histopathological picture early abortus.

The toxigenic metabolic impact associated fungi contamination with some beans in rat consumption was investigated. Sever blood changes have been noticed in association of final body weight and organ deviation. It was seen that aflatoxin strongly decreases the blood albumin, meanwhile, significantly raised up the globulin. Liver function has also been elevated more times, especially with the contamination of <em>Aspergillus paristicus.</em> This strain has dramatically abuse liver tissues. In comparing to the control, the histopathological examination of liver and brain were severely adversely affected. It cause a lot of pathological disorders such as dilatation and congestion of hepatoprtal vessels, Kupffer cells activation, hepatocytes necrosis, hepatocytes active unclei, epithelial vascular lining of bile duct, portal infiltration, lucocytic cells, and hepatocytes cytomegaly nuclei. It is worth to mention that the ranking number used for liver function were identically compromising that of its tissue histopathological findings.<br /> It is concluded that although aflatoxins are potent hepatotoxic and carcinogenic metabolites produced by the fungi <em>Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus</em> or others, food contamination with fungus, especially <em>A paristicus</em>, is a real dangerous task to the liver and adversely affects its subclinical expectancy. Hence, these vegetables might contain natural factors that enhance aflatoxin B1 carcinogenicity. In brief, the biological evaluation appeared in blood changes, enzymes and tissues in connection to suffering of permanent liver damage after being exposed to this batch of contaminated bean show the degree of the adverse health aspect of these toxins.

A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in Qatif City, Eastern Saudi Arabia. This study aimed at assessing disease related knowledge among mothers of children with sickle cell anemia [SCA], to explore different stressors that confront them and their coping strategies as well as to identify which groups of mothers are especially prone to experience much stress. The study population was mothers of children aged from 1 to 16 years who had SCA and attending Qatif Central Hospital. A total of 146 mothers agreed to participate.<br /> The results showed that only 18.5% had good level of knowledge, and those having poor level of knowledge constituted 20.5%. The mean total stress was moderately high [1.81+3.4]. The most stressful category perceived by the mother in the management of their children was disease-related category [X=2.34], then child, psychological, hospital, and family ending by financial stressors [X=1.2]. Those who have poor level of knowledge had the highest significant mean stress score [x=64.33], the reverse among those having good knowledge level. Older, illiterate, not working mothers who had big family size, more than one child with SCA, younger children, and low income had lower mean knowledge score. Higher stress score was also found among older, illiterates, working mothers, who had polygamical husband, bigger family size, younger child, with more children with SCA, and lower family income. Confrontation was the coping mechanism used most, followed by acceptance. Varied coping styles were adopted by a considerable proportion of mothers to handle psychological stressors. The special stress coming from SCA child needs and characters led nearly half of the mothers to either main mechanisms confrontation by giving more care to the child or acceptance and praying.

The present study was conducted to assess breast cancer [BC] and breast self-examination [BSE] related knowledge, attitude and performance among educated Saudi women, to identify which group of women are in need for education about BC & BSE, as well as to examine the utility of theory of reasoned action in predicting BSE among them in Riyadh City. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 302 educated Saudi women. Their mean age was 27.3±9.4 years.
The results show that 26.5% of the participants were ever practicing BSE, and 17.9% of them practiced BSE in the prior 6 months. Only 1.9% of them had good knowledge about BC and BSE. There was a discrepancy between their perceived level of knowledge and the actual knowledge level. The mean proficiency score was moderate [5.13] with a range [0-11]. There was significant difference between scores of knowledge and attitude among different age groups. Women who were in the age group [40-years], divorced or married and teachers had higher significant knowledge score than other groups. Younger married women and teachers attained significantly the highest mean score of BSE skills [proficiency]. It was found that the women who belonged to age group [25-years] had got significantly the highest mean attitude score. University graduated women attained significantly the lowest mean subjective norms. Although there were differences between different groups related to socio-demographic characters as regard BSE intention and performance, these differences were not significant. In agreement with the theory of reasoned action, general subjective norms [GSN], and effect [direct attitude] were found to be among the predictors of intention to practice BSE together with marital status and age [R2=0.233]. Intention and affect [direct attitude] scores were proved as the predictors of BSE performance [R2=0.62].
It is recommended that health educators should design theory-based interventions that foster positive attitudes, increase knowledge about BSE, and motivate women to practice it. These interventions need to be done in the context of the Saudi cultural norms.

The textile industry uses vast amount of water, energy, and chemicals.<br /> So, the objective of this industry is to audit and investigate some pollution prevention measures on five textile companies at Alexandria to save money and protect the environment. The audits were conducted at Nasr Kabo Clothing & Textile, Stia for Cotton Clothes, United & Arab for Spinning & Weaving, National for Spinning & Weaving, and Al-Amria for Spinning & Weaving. Each company was visited several times. Information about the operations, water consumption, energy, and chemicals were obtained by interviewing responsible personnel. Information about wastewater characteristics, water treatment, and disposal records were obtained from the plant’s environmental records. Wastewater samples taken from some operation units and final effluent of each plant were analyzed for COD, BOD, TSS, pH, temp, and total heavy metals. The final effluent was compared with the environmental law that controls its discharge onto receiving body. The collection and analyzed data were used to propose environmental management to achieve positive economical and environmental impact.<br /> From the results, it is evident that Al-Amria and Unirab effluents were not complying with the environmental law 48/82 with respect to TSS, O&G, COD, and BOD. Kabo and Stia effluents were not complying with the environmental law 93/62 [decree 44/2000] with respect to COD and TDS. Only National Company effluent was complying with the decree 44/2000 due to canceling of dyeing department from this company. Since most unit operations in the textile industry were conduct with the same sequences, application of pollution prevention measures in the cotton industries was considered similar. The results revealed that recovery of the bleaching liquor will save LE 153,000 per year. The saving will be increased to LE 336,000 per year by implementing of counter-current flow water between bleach washers stages due to reduction in water and energy consumption. Using of color matching computer will save L.E. 172000 per year. The benefits gained from implementation of waste minimization are environmental improvement, cost saving due to increase in operating efficiency, and risk reduction on the environment.<br /> So, it is recommended to implement water conservation to minimize waste, apply counter current flow between washer’s stages after processing, substitute chemicals of high BOD to low BOD one, recover of chemicals, and use a color matching computer in the dye house.

Although heavy metals are essential for microbial growth at low concentration level, they can exert toxic effect at higher levels. The continuous discharge of them into the aquatic environment will in future limit the multiple uses of waster as well as increasing the frequency of chronic diseases in the human population. One of the most important sources rich in heavy metals is leachate coming from landfills of domestic solid wastes. This is an engineered method of disposing solid waste by spreading and compacting it to smaller volumes thus reducing associated environmental hazard to a minimum. Leachate typically contains high concentrations of organic and inorganic pollutants which can vary seasonally and annually as the waste age.<br /> So, this study aimed at removing heavy metals from leachate using biological treatment. This was done by treatment of leachate biologically using adapted sewage flora followed by immobilized selected strain Acinetobacter sp. bacteria at different detention time.<br /> The results revealed that selected strain of Acinetobacter sp. [beeds] was effective for biodegradation of chromium more than other metals then followed by cadmium, nickel, and lead. However, efficiency of sewage flora for degradation of selected metals was higher than beeds as represented by degradation percent and rate of degradation, this was due to adaptation phases of sewage microorganisms on leachate.<br /> The study recommended that leachate must be treated first in adapted sludge unit to decrease high concentration of these metals then followed by activated beeds unit for complete removal of these metals.

Considerable effort has been applied to identifying antioxidants in foods and the mechanisms behind their antioxidative activity in vivo. Therefore, the effect of systemic food antioxidants [AO] addition on hypercholestrolemic rats has been investigated and the lipoprotein profile in rats induced with cholesterol in diet was examined. The overall data gave the assumption that vitamin C and carotenes that particularly extracted from parsley curly are most important food fragments of active nutrients as Hypocholesterolemic agent besides the unique role of soyproteins. The other most important fact revealed in this study is that dietary therapy needs a long time to be of real efficiency and might not present any remarkable response in the short run. As a matter of fact, the admensration of this dietary therapy, based on the continual addition of some main antioxidants, caused a partial healthier cure. The blood analysis as well as liver morphology, function and histopathology were used in evaluating the final health impact of that systemic antioxidant application. However, the liver, as the main lipogenic organ in the body, was positively affected by specific antioxidant supplementation, most probably soyprotein, carotenoids, and vitamin C. This organ undergoes a great change in mass or size, enzymatic actively, and tissues histological change with changing food additives of those hypercholesterolemic rats. Evidence of that the cholesterolemia is a major great pathological disorder negatively affect most organs especially liver is strong. In consequences, the AO in their best formulation should be deeply incorporated in food pattern in order to protect against a variety of diseases. The form of seimodified food is a practical and effective one.
In general, a simple correlation between normalized serum lipoprotein and organ longevity has been noticed. Normal effective liver, but not enlarged organ, means more actively one for overall body homeostasis. Liver homeostatic function is strongly conjugated to the balanced diet and dietetics, as the liver is the main body organ that deals with nutritional homeostasis. Here, the relatively high content of vitamin C and carotenes in parsley played a sort of synergistic role with soyprotein. Further research is required to determine the mechanism by which some protein in the presence of some specific nutrients or medical substance accelerate the low density lipoprotein [LDL] and very low density lipoprotein [VLDL] uptake and secretion by liver.

Over the past years, remarkable progress has been made in understanding structure and function of genes and chromosomes at the molecular level. Recently, this progress has been made in understanding the organization of the human genome at level of its DNA sequences. Highly polymorphic variable number of tandem repeats [VNTR] provide excellent means for discrimination between individuals. It is a Mendelian monogenic trait that exists in the population in at least two phenotypes neither of which occurs with a frequency of less than 1%-2%. D1S80 locus one of VNTR is located on chromosome 1p36. 1-36.3 and has a core sequence of 16 base pair [bp] that can repeats at range from 14 to over 41 times. It has no known function to regulate an expression of a gene and it shows high level of genetic variation useful for forensic and paternity work.
The aim of this study was to investigate the allele and genotype frequency distribution of D1S80 locus in Egyptian population. The usefulness of this genetic marker for paternity testing was also evaluated. The polymorphism of the D1S80 locus has been analyzed in a population sample of 150 unrelated individuals in Upper Egypt, northern Egypt, and Bedwin. The study demonstrates that the locus is highly polymorphic in Egyptian population; there were 26 different D1S80 alleles and 50 distinct genotypes in the studied sample. Allele 18 [f = 0.223] and allele 24 [f=0.197] were the most common alleles. The distribution of the observed genotypes showed departure from Hard-Weinberg expectation. The heterozygosity, probability of exclusion, and discrimination probability estimates demonstrate the usefulness of this locus for paternity purposes.

من الأشياء الجديرة بالملاحظة والاهتمام تلک الطفرة التي حدثت في المستويات الرياضية في السنوات الأخيرة ، وساعد على ذلک مساعدات تحسين الأداء وتطورها کالمساعدت الميکانيکية، المساعدات الفسيولوجية، والعقاقير، والمواد الغذائية ومنها الکرياتين الذي يلعب الدور الرئيسي في التمثيل الغذائي للطاقة بالعضلات الهيکلية کمانح لجزئ الفوسفات [P] اللازم لإعادة فسفرة ثنائي أدينوزين الفوسفات [ADP] ويحتاج الجسم حوالي ٢ جرام في اليوم من الکيرياتين، ويحصل على نصف هذه الکمية بشکل مباشر من خلال مجموعة الأحماض الأمينية بالغذاء، لذا هدفت تلک الدراسة إلى التعرف على تأثير التزود بالکرياتين على بعض الوظائف الفسيولوجية للکلى ومؤشر کتلة الجسم لدى لاعبي رياضة المصارعة، وأهمية هذه الرسالة ترجع إلى محاولة معرفة التأثير الذي يحدث للکلى وذلک بعد الزيادة التي لاحظها الباحث على الکثير من اللاعبين للتزود بالکيرياتين، هذا وقد بلغ حجم العينة ٩ مصارعين تم اختيارهم بالطريقة العمدية من لاعبي المصارعة بنادي ٢٣ يوليو بالمحلة الکبرى ، وقد استخدم الباحث المنهج التجريبي، وقبل التزود بالکرياتين تم سحب عينات الدم ثم تم بعد ذلک تقنين تناول الکرياتين وذلک لمدة ثمانية أسابيع من خلال جرعات محددة أثناء فترة التحميل بحيث تکون ٢٠ جراما في اليوم الواحد ولمدة أربع أيام في الأسبوع الأول، ثم بعد ذلک ٥ جرامات من الکرياتين لمدة سبعة أسابيع أخري قبل الوحدة التدريبية مع الماء الدافئ ليسهل على الجسم امتصاصه في الدم عن طريق العمل العضلي لللاعب ومن أهم النتائج :
* أدى التزود بالکيرياتين بطريقة مقننة إلى عدم حدوث أعراض جانبية على بعض الوظائف الفسيولوجية للکلى، کما أدى أيضا إلى تحسين مؤشر کتلة الجسم BMI.

أجريت دراسة مقطعية مستعرضة عشوائية في مراکز الرعاية الصحية الأولية في قطاع الدمام، وشملت الفئة العمرية من الولادة حتى السنتين وذلک بهدف تحديد معدل انتشار الرضاعة الطبيعية لدى الأطفال في الفئة العمرية من الولادة إلى السنتين في قطاع الدمام والعوامل المؤثرة عليها وتحديد مدة الرضاعة الطبيعية لدى الأطفال الذين أتموا عامهم الثاني بقطاع الدمام والعوامل المؤثرة عليها وقد تم جمع المعلومات من الأمهات المراجعات للمراکز الصحية المختارة وبلغ حجم العينة 1218 طفلا. بلغ معدل الرضاعة الطبيعية في الدراسة 37,5٪ والرضاعة الصناعية 23,3٪ وکانت الرضاعة المختلطة هي الشائعة حيث بلغت نسبتها 39.2٪ وکان من أهم أسباب فشل الرضاعة الطبيعية اعتقاد الأم بقلة الحليب والعودة إلى العمل. کان معدل مدة الرضاعة الطبيعية 7±12,1 شهرا بالرغم من أن نسبة الأمهات اللاتي تلقين تثقيفا صحيا عن الرضاعة الطبيعية کانت منخفضة حيث بلغت نسبة ذلک 18,9٪ ولقد أوضحت الدراسة أن معدل الرضاعة الطبيعية کان أعلى لدى الأمهات الأصغر سنا وکان لذلک دلالة إحصائية معنوية وکانت کذلک أعلى لدى الأطفال الذکور عن الإناث، ولدى الأمهات غير العاملات خارج المنزل وکذلک الأمهات ذوات المستوى التعليمي المتدني ولدى الأطفال الذين أحضروا لأمهاتهم في الأربع ساعات الأولى بعد الولادة وکان لتلک العلاقات دلالة إحصائية موجبة. کانت مدة الرضاعة الطبيعية أقل لدى الأمهات اللاتي وضعن بولادة قيصرية واللاتي لديهن مشاکل في الرضاعة الطبيعية، وقد کانت لتلک العلاقة دلالة إحصائية معنوية. ارتفع معدل الرضاعة الطبيعية ارتفاعا بسيطا عن بعض الدراسات السابقة إلا أنه لازال منخفضا عما أوصت به منظمة الصحة العالمية، ويلاحظ أن أغلبية الأمهات في هذه الدراسة کن من ذوات التعليم العالي کما ان ثلاثة أرباعهم کن ربات بيوت لذا کان بإمکانهن أن يرضعن أطفالهن بطريقة أفضل، بالرغم من أن نسبة الأمهات اللاتي يتابعن في عيادة الحوامل في مراکز الرعاية الصحية الأولية کان مرتفعا إلا أن نسبة اللاتي تلقين تثقيفا صحيا عن الرضاعة الطبيعية أثناء متابتهن لعيادة الحوامل کان منخفضا، وبناءا على ذلک توصي الباحثتان بإدخال موضوع الرضاعة الطبيعية في منهج الطالبات في المرحلة الثانوية والجامعية، وکذلک تکثيف التثقيف الصحي عن الرضاعة الطبيعية في مراکز الرعاية الصحية الأولية کما توصي الباحثتان بترکيز التثقيف الصحي عن الرضاعة الطبيعية أثناء متابعة الحمل وبعد الولادة.
