ABSTRACT Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy is associated with risk of preterm birth and pyelonephritis if untreated. The apparent decline in immunity of pregnant women appears to promote the growth of both commensal and non-commensal microorganisms. Women with asymptomatic bacteria in the early pregnancy develop symptomatic bacteriuria later in pregnancy. The incidence of antibiotic resistance has been steadily increasing over the past few years resulting in limitation of therapeutic...
Abstract This project is Design of a hospital for emergency and trauma services in order to improve the healthcare services and to eliminate the emergency department deficiency . The design depend on the interviews and visits held in different facilities were the data collected and analysed to build the appropriate design. A plan has been drawn up to provide the hospital with all the required equipment in every single department as shown in the design model.The simulation program (ARCHICAD) w...
Abstract The effect of the adoption of koryat plough on the production of peanuts (groundnuts) in Ghbeish locality. the importance of studying : The peanut is the main cash crop in ghbeish locality and is the main feed for animal feeding, especially sheep, as is the result of the source contributes to national income, so it is necessary to stand on the effect of the adoption of the use of farmers to the koryat plough and then put proposals and appropriate solutions. Study Society: The study ...
ABSTRACT The study aimed to determine the normal values of Prothrombin Time (PT) Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), Fibrinogen Concentration (FIB), platelets count (PLT), mean platelets volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW) for healthy police dogs in Sudan and to assess the effect of breed and sex on these parameters. Forty six dogs were used; 20 Labrador Retriever and 26 German Shepherd dogs comprising 21 males and 25 females, 20-83 months old. Bl...
Abstract Blood is a vital constituent in human body that is indispensable for human life, it supplies nutrient and oxygen to all body cells, because of this essential role, blood bank was introduce in this research to help in collecting, separating and storing blood by using computerized information system to organized and maintain information about donors, and blood groups. Manual systems as compared to computerized systems are time consuming and costly, in addition to human errors. A comp...
Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the most important diagnostic tools of modern healthcare. The signal in medical MRI predominantly originates from water and fat molecules. Separation of the two components into water-only and fat-only images can improve diagnosis, and is the premier non-invasive method for measuring the amount and distribution of fatty tissue. Fat-water imaging (FWI) enables fast fat/water separation by model-based estimation from chemical shift encoded dat...
Abstract Patient safety has become an international priority with major research programs being carried out. The aim of this research is to assess the concept of patient safety. Two artificial neural network systems were designed by using questionnaire for the classification of an idle and non-idle hospital. After training and testing the systems results were obtained for classification of data. The Two type of neural networks (Feed Forward Back propagation and Competitive neural network arc...
Abstract The present study aimed to accelerate and improve accuracy of ɣ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutathione (GSH) quantification. These metabolites, present at low concentrations in the brain, are challenging to detect using MR spectroscopy due to the fact that their resonance frequencies overlap with those of other more abundant metabolites. The advanced spectral editing techniques involving J-difference editing that are required to resolve the overlapping signals of these low concen...
Abstract The study comprises of two sections; i) a survey to determine the attitude towards fitness training for rugby and the current fitness training habits of elite high school rugby players in their penultimate year at school, ii) a training study on a sample of the same population group, to measure the effect of a 12 week fitness training programme, based on scientific principles, on anthropometric, physiological and performance variables. The training study also measured the efficacy o...
ABSTRACT Paleolimnology is the reconstruction of historical conditions of lakes using information contained in the sediment proxies. Previous studies have provided evidence for climate variability in the East African region over the last 200 years. However, the response of Lake Baringo to shifts in climate over the years remains unknown. As a consequence this thesis presents a sediment based semi-quantitative reconstruction of water level fluctuations and trophic state variations for Lake Bar...
Medical image play important role in medical investigation. Medical image use in telemedicine field too. When transferring or archiving was demanded, image needs to be compressed so as to reduce its size. Whereas reduction of image size contributes on reduce the bandwidth which is needed to transmit image and minimize the space of storage in archiving case. There are many standards used to deal with medical image like (PACS), (DICOM). In this research two algorithms were created to compr...
The early detection of breast cancer is of the outmost importance in order to increase survival rates. Mammography is considered as an effective tool to detect breast cancer, but due to the complexity of breast tissue texture and the observer variability effect, misdiagnosis of breast cancer frequently occurs. This research develops a simple Computer-aided detection (CAD) system in order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of mammogram interpretation. The first step of the proposed al...
Drug delivery system is the method or process of introducing therapeutic substances into a body and improves efficiency and safety by controlling the rate, time and place of release of drugs in the body. In the past, the delivery of the drug faced many problems such as failure to reach the appropriate amount of specific cells. The drug delivery system using nanotechnology has limited or reduced these problems; despite some of the side effect problems of using this technology, such as th...
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV co-infections have a global prevalence with high morbidity and mortality and Africa is the worst hit. The HIV and AIDS has profound impact on the TB epidemic in Kenya, where up to 60% of TB patients are likely to be HIV co-infected and the mortality rate attributed to TB. Lack of diagnostic capacity has been a major barrier preventing an effective management of HIV-associated and drug resistant tuberculosis (TB). Microscopy is the gold standard for TB diagno...
ABSTRACT Bacteria, intestinal epithelium, and host innate immune responses are among the most critical interacting factors that determine the fate of bacterial infections and disease outcomes. Recent studies have described multiple infections with evidence of more severe diarrhoea and molecular detection methods, suggesting the association of certain pathogens and commensal bacteria with more aggressive Shigella infection. However, the interaction between Shigella flexneri and human intestina...
