The rise of the Muslim Brotherhood In several Middle Eastern countries
No full textThe Muslim Brotherhood is a very influential organization throughout the Middle East, with Members and branches in more than eighty countries such as Hamas in Palestine, Ennahda in Tunisia, and The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. They had been able to remain intact throughout the years from the day the organization was founded more than eighty years ago in 1928 and after so many years of prosecution by regimes throughout the Middle East. The upspring or what came to be known as the Arab Spring that took place throughout the Middle East which started in Tunisia and spread out through the Middle East eliminated some of the old regimes in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya which allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to rise to power after being a banned organization and gain the benefit of political power of these revolution which had started out as a secular movement. This had led to speculation that the Muslim Brotherhood stole the revolution. And now that they are in power which they had gained through free election, there is speculation that they are seizing control with their fundamentalist ideology. The United States as a key international players is trying to figure out ways to deal with the Muslim Brotherhood out of fear for creating more instability in a region that is already instable especially in the Palestinian – Israeli situation, and especially that the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood condemns the existence of the State of Israel. The United States is trying to ensure that the organization would not seize control over these countries and make it difficult for other secular political groups to compete with them making it difficult to move the organization from power if the people are not satisfied with its performance. Islamist political parties in the Middle East now form an important part of the political landscape. Previously operating as opposition movements outside the formal process, parties stemming from these movements have succeeded in recent years in countries including Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Palestine. The political involvement of such Islamist parties such as The Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafies comes with a price, but the inclusion of such Islamist parties is a crucial and a very important step in the development of the democratic system. The Muslim Brotherhood is considered the parent of many of the Islamist political parties in the region, Such as Hamas in Palestine, and The Ennahda party in Tunisia.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Ahmed M Ada

Cervical Lymph Nodes Assessment of Oral and Maxillofacial Cancer Patients Using the Helical CT scan
No full textObjective: To assess the cervical lymph nodes status in oral cancer patients using
helical CT scan.
Material and Methods: Twenty-five oral and maxillofacial cancer patients
underwent preoperative Helical CT imaging. The cervical lymph node features on
CT scan namely the size, the necrosis, the shape and the number were studied, each
parameter was given a score, the total scores in each case was calculated and
referred to as the metastatic score (MS). Then the patients underwent neck
dissection and all dissected lymph nodes were sent for histopathology
Results: Data Analysis showed that, all cases with Metastatic Scores (MS) >= 6
were histopathologicaly positive and all cases with Metastatic Scores (MS) <= 3
were histopathologicaly negative. All cases of nodal sizes >3cm were
histopathologicaly positive, 82% of cases of nodal sizes between 2.1-3cm were
histopathologically positive, 40% of cases of nodal sizes between 1-2cm were
histopathologically positive and all cases of lymph nodes sizes <1cm were
histopathologicaly negative. Seventy seven percent of cases which had a group of
lymph nodes (>=3 nodes/region) were histopathologicaly positive. Seventy nine
percent of cases with rounded nodes were histopathologicaly positive and all cases
with necrotic lymph nodes were positive for malignancy.
Conclusion: The Metastatic Score (MS) is a good indicator of metastatic cervical
lymph nodes and the proposed formula is a good assessment tool for cervical
lymph nodes evaluation by using Helical CT scan in head and neck cancer patients.
CT scan showed a sensitivity of 93%, a specificity of 91% and an accuracy of 92%
in the determination of cervical lymph nodes metastases
Recommendations: to use the (MS) as an indicator for evaluation of cervical
lymph nodes of head and neck cancer patients by using the helical CT sca
