Impact of water pollution with Heavy Metals on sea bream fishes) Sparus Aurata) Health in Marriott Valley
Get PDFThis research was conducted in the outskirts of Alexandria City, in Lake Marriott between December 2021 and June 2022. Samples of water and sea bream fish were brought from a fish farm. Through analysis of water and fish samples, it became clear that the water samples were poor due to the presence of high levels of ammonia and heavy metal such as cadmium and lead. And it resulted in stress for the fish and it was evident by the analysis of antioxidants that consider biological indicators of the lack of water and soil quality in which the fish live.  
Detection the incidence of Rota virus infection among children under eight years presenting with diarrhea
Get PDFAcute diarrhea is a major cause of death worldwide in children and neonates. Rota virus is the most common cause of severe pediatric gastroenteritis and diarrhea, especially in those countries that have not launched a Rota virus immunization program. The primary aim of the study was to detect the incidence of Rota virus infection among children in Al-Asiel Hospital, Al-Bayda City, Libya, from March 2021 to January 2022. Stool specimens from children under 8 years of age with gastroenteritis were examined using a qualitative immunochromatographic assay for rapid detection of Rota virus antigens. There were 100 samples from patients aged between 4 months − 8 years. The data analysis showed that 61% of diarrheal cases were positive for Rota virus antigens. Rota virus infections were mostly found in children between 5 and 11 months of age, as well as in children between one and 8 years of age. Most cases occurred in the winter. Laboratory testing should be undertaken to identify Rota virus in samples from sick children and babies, as the diagnosis of cases that was followed in most pediatric departments in medical clinics was based on clinical symptoms rather than an accurate laboratory diagnosi
The Nature of the Legal Rules Governing the Work of the UN Security Council
Get PDFإن مصطلح التجريد والعمومية التي يتصف بها القانون يختلف مضمونة داخل فروع القانون الداخلي عنه في القانون الدولي, فإذا كانت القواعد الدولية تحمل هذه الصفة في إطارها النظري فإن هذه القواعد تتسم بالنسبية عند تطبيقه؛ إذ إن القواعد التي يتضمنها النظام القانوني الدولي ليست قواعد عامة، وإنما يختلف مضمونها ومداها وما تفرضه من التزامات أو تقرره من حقوق من حالة إلى أخري، فما تنظمه القواعد الدولية يتناسب مع طابع العلاقات الدولية, أي أن العلاقات بين أشخاص قانونية دولية متعددة ترنو إلى تحقيق أهداف تتعلق بالصالح العام للجماعة الدولية، وترتبط قواعد القانون الدولي بإرادة الدول، وتغليب الاعتبارات الموضوعية على الشكلية من أجل تمكين النظام الدولي من أداء وظائفه، حيث تتنوع القواعد الدولية في قيمتها بين القواعد القائمة حاليا والقواعد التي يؤمل الوصول إليها، مما يستدعي التنسيق بينها. وقد حاول ميثاق الأمم المتحدة فيما يتعلق بتنظيم عمل مجلس الأمن ايجاد التوازن المطلوب إلا أن هذه القواعد اتسمت بالغموض، مما جعلت وظيفة مجلس الامن غير مكتملة وهو ما حاولنا تسليط الضوء عليه في هذه الدراسة.The term generality that characterizes the law is different in terms of its content within the branches of domestic law than in international law. If international rules bear this characteristic in their theoretical framework, then these rules are characterized by relativity when applied. As the rules contained in the international legal system are not general rules, what is regulated by international rules is consistent with the nature of international relations, that is, the relations between multiple international legal persons aim to achieve goals related to the public interest of the international community. The United Nations Charter, attempted to find the required balance, but these rules were characterized by ambiguity and absolute generality, which made the function of the Security Council incomplete, which is what we tried to highlight in this study
Maternal Mortality at Al-Wahda Tertiary Hospital/ Derna -Lybia
Get PDFMaternal mortality is one of the major challenges which face the developing countries throughout the world. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is the main public health indicator that determines the quality of health care services and the women’s status. However, maternal mortality is much higher in developing countries compared to developed nations due to lack of adequate medical care; high prevalence of infectious diseases, higher total fertility rate and due to health care system difference. Countries with high maternal mortality ratio have less reliable vital statistics registry system; as a result level of maternal mortality is usually underestimated and little information is available regarding locally specific risk factors for maternal death. The aim of this study is to calculate, identify the risk factors and the causes of maternal mortality at Al-WhahdaTertiaryhospital/Derna- Libya. This was a retrospective descriptive study of ten years conducted at Al-Wahda hospital Derna,Libya. Detailed retrospective reviews of the data were undertaken from the casenotes of 31782 admissions in the obstetrics unit during 10 years period from 2013 to 2022. The information was retrieved from the case notes available in the medical records department of the hospital as well as from the daily records in the maternity and delivery worlds of the hospital during the study period. There was a total of 31782 deliveries conducted during the study period. The maternal mortality ratio was 34.84 per 100,000 live-births in the year 2013 to 2022. The mean age of maternal deaths was34.36±5.54 years. Most of deaths occur in postpartum period.The major causes of deaths were pulmonary and amniotic fluid embolism followed by postpartum haemorrahge. The maternal mortality is high despite the availability of comprehensive emergency obstetric care at the hospital. Pulmonary and amniotic fluid embolism are the leading causes of death in one of the tertiary care teaching hospitals in Libya.

Nurses\u27 knowledge was poor regarding pediatric febrile convulsion as a medical condition but good regarding the nursing care of patients with pediatric febrile convulsions
Iliopsoas Abscess: Presentation, Etiology, Treatment Options, and Outcomes: A Retrospective Analysis of 19 Cases
Get PDFIliopsoas abscess (IPA) is an exceptional condition with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Pyogenic abscesses (PAs), which account for more than half of iliopsoas abscesses, have developed comparatively more frequently as the prevalence of tuberculosis disease has diminished. Our study aims to analyze the presentation, treatment, and outcomes in 19 patients with a diagnosis of IPA. A retrospective analysis of 19 consecutive IPA cases managed at teaching hospitals (Benghazi Medical Center and Urology Center) Benghazi-Libya. Among 19 patients with a diagnosis of IPA, 12 were males (63.1 %) with a mean age of 50 years (range, 11 to 78 y). and 7 were females (36.9 %) with an average age of 41 (16 - 67) years the most frequent feature was lower abdominal pain (73.6 %), fever (57.8 %), followed by limping (36.8 %), and Weight loss (21.1 %). Leukocytosis was the most common laboratory finding (86.4 %), whereas anemia was the second most common laboratory finding found in (26.3%). Three patients (15.8 %) underwent ultrasound (U/S) with negative results before CT (computed tomography) which was the confirmatory scan for all patients. Six patients underwent open surgical drainage (31.6 %) and thirteen (68.4 %) were submitted to percutaneous drainage (PCD) under ultrasound guidance with an overall success rate of 97 %. Compared to surgery, PCD had a lower mean in-hospital stay. US-guided PCD along with the proper antibiotic medication is safe, effective, and results in a shorter hospital stay
