Abstract: In order to determine the accumulation of dry matter and harvest index, experiment with different varieties of canola, mustard and turnip crops was done in Gonbad city. Mustard crop genotypes, including genotypes G-98, Bared 1, two genotypes turnip Rainbow and candle and four Canola hyolla 401, valves, RGS003 and Select 4 (a cross between canola and mustard crops), respectively. Experiment in a randomized complete block design in three replications during 2009-2010 and in two different planting dates (the second half of November and December) were performed. The results showed significant differences between genotypes shoot dry matter accumulation at the beginning of grain filling, shoot dry matter accumulation at the time of their maturity and harvest index. Delaying planting these traits also showed a decreasing trend from it. On the first sowing dry matter content in the grain filling, shoot dry matter at the time of maturity and harvest index equal to 10740, 12376 kg per hectare and 20.3%, respectively. In the second planting date, respectively, the average of these traits in 9053, 10188 kg per hectare and 21.6%, respectively. The effect of genotype was significant on all traits. Harvest index Hyola401 with an average of 25.9 percent of the maximum amount and genotype candle with an average of 4.17 percent was the lowest amount.

Abstract: This study investigates the quality of discharged drainage from soil containing different levels of superabsorbent polymers. This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design factorial with two treatments of irrigation regime at three levels (50, 75 and 100 percent of crop water requirement) and four superabsorbent hydrogel application (0, 4, 6 and 8 g per kg of soil) in three replication in the research field of Faculty of Water Sciences Engineering, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. The discharged drainage was studied after irrigation in days of 26, 51 and 85 after planting the lettuce to the pot. The results showed that superabsorbent polymers reduce the electric conductivity of the drainage by absorbing the salt of the soil. The lowest amount of electric conductivity was observed in the treatment of 6 gram.

Abstract: Soil rehabilitation is one of the concerns of those involved in the agricultural sector for sustainable development and it is one of the quantitative developments. This study was conducted in Darkhoein region located in Shadegan city in 35 km north of Abadan. To evaluate the soil, the specimens were collected by digging deep profiles at the depths of 0-20, 20-40, 40-60 and 80-100 cm and after its analysis in the laboratory and calculating ECe, SAR ESP, CEC and…values, the physical and chemical characteristics were studied. The study was conducted as completely randomized block design with 2 treatments (control, tillage) and 3 replications in 1*1 metal plots. The amount of water required for leaching was determined at a rate of 100 cm and at 5 levels. After each step specimens were taken from four depths of soil and the experiments were conducted. Study of the results and statistical analysis showed that tillage process has no desired effect on leaching and it is proposed to use tillage process after leaching to prevent a secondary salinity.

Abstract: Background: Nowadays, patients with cancer receive more intensive chemotherapeutic regimens together with broad-spectrum antibiotics during periods of intense immunosuppression. Thus, cancer patients are susceptible to colonization with C. difficile, but the role of this pathogen in pediatric oncology patients is poorly understood. Objectives: detect the prevalence of C. difficile, analyze what risk factors which favor the development of C. difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) in pediatric oncology patients and evaluate the usefulness of direct stool PCR assay as a diagnostic tool for diagnosis of CDAD as compared with other laboratory tests. Subjects and Methods: The current study comprised Ninety pediatric oncology Patients, having nosocomial diarrhea from National Cancer Institute, Cairo University (NCI) after obtaining an informed written consent for participation in the present study. Demographic Data including age, sex, Diagnosis, disease status and treatment phase of the enrolled patients was collected. Clinical Outcome was reported. Stool samples were collected from each patient and were subjected to direct Toxin A/B ELISA and anaerobic culture on Cycloserine, cefoxitin, fructose agar (CCFA) for 72hrs. Clostridium difficile isolates were confirmed by a distinctive odor, fluorescence, motility and biochemical reactions. DNA was extracted from all C. difficile isolates and stool samples. the presence of tcdA and tcdB (Toxin) genes were tested using polymerase chain reaction. Results: Toxigenic Clostridium difficile strains isolated were detected in 14 (15.6%) pediatric cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Considering the toxigenic stool culture as the "gold standard", the sensitivities, specificities, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracies of the assays, respectively, were 85.7%, 97.7%, 75%, 97.3% and 93.3% for direct Toxin A/B ELISA compared with 88.9%, 100%, 100%, 98.8% and 98.9% for direct PCR detection for toxin A gene and 85.7%, 100%, 100%, 97.4% and 97.8 for direct PCR detection for toxin B gene. Conclusion and recommendations: C. difficile is an important cause of diarrhea in pediatric cancer patients. Direct detection of C. difficile genes from stool samples based on PCR is more sensitive and less time-consuming than culture methods and provides greater sensitivity than an enzyme immunoassay.

Abstract: Cross sectional study was conducted between December, 2009 and April, 2010 with the objective of determining the prevalence of hydatidosis and fasciolosis, identifying major causes of organ condemnation and estimating direct financial losses due to organ condemnation associated with fasciolosis and hydatidosis in cattle slaughtered in Adama Municipal Abattoir, Eastern Ethiopia. Detailed post mortem meat inspection procedures were employed to detect the pathological lesions in 300 cattle. Nearly seven in ten cattle were found affected with one or more of pathological lesions. Overall, 358 different organs were condemned with liver being the highest 151(42.2%). Hydatidosis was the leading cause (53.5%) for organ condemnation. Fasciolosis and hydatidosis were the leading causes of condemnation for liver and lungs, respectively. Overall, 97/300 (32.3%) (95% CI: 27%, 37%) and 146/300(48.7%) (95% CI: 43%, 54%) of cattle were found harboring fasciola and hydatid cyst, respectively. An estimated annual direct financial loss from condemnation of organs associated with hydatidosis and fasciolosis was 39,868.00 Ethiopian Birr (ETB) and 87,210.00 ETB, respectively contributing for total monetary losses of 127,078.00 ETB (approximately $5776.27 USD).

Abstract: The practice of the adoption of different land management systems in the growth of crops have overtime affected the level of crop production in Nigeria, this is because land management system practice determines the amount of nutrient that will either be retained in the soil or loss from the soil. This study was poised to assess the potency of three land management systems in the yield of cassava as a test crop. This was done using the Traditional, (planting on the surface), Ridge and the Mound land management system. To achieve this runoff plots were constructed with the size (5m x 10m) and fertilizer applied to the three treatment plots. The result of the study revealed that the ridge land management system had the highest yield accounting for 156 tubers of cassava which in turn amounts to 35.8t/ha as against the other two land management systems. The study therefore recommended that the ridge land management system should be adopted as a land management practice to increase cassava production which in recent time a foreign earner and for increased production.

Abstract: Spent brewers’ yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) which is a good source of protein, amino acids, vitamins, crude fibre and metabolizable energy remains underutilized in spite of its several advantages. Spent brewer’s yeast was used to formulate poultry feed replacing soya bean in graded levels and used in broiler chicken production. Objective: To investigate the effect of spent brewers’ yeast on growth performance, carcass characteristics and internal organs of broiler chickens. Methods: Two hundred 14 day old “sayed” broiler chickens were used to determine the growth performance and carcass characteristics as well as internal organs fed the formulated feeds. Five experimental diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% spent brewers’ yeast used to replace soya bean were formulated and used to feed broiler chickens for 50 days. The experiments were in a completely randomized design with the five treatments each replicating four times with 40 birds per treatment and 10 birds per replicate. Results: The average live weight of broiler chicken ranged from 1963-2063 g across all the treatments but were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by dietary treatment. Similarly, growth rate and feed conversion ratio were not significantly affected by dietary treatment (P > 0.05). Average daily feed intake was however significantly affected (p <0.05). Carcass yield showed that live weight, plucked weight, dressing percentage, breast, wings and caeca were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by the dietary treatment. However, thigh, abdominal fat, drumstick and back were significantly affected (P <0.05). The percentage weight of the internal organs were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by the dietary treatments except small intestine which was significantly affected (P < 0.0). Conclusion: The results showed that spent brewers’ yeast can be used to replace soya bean up to the levels tested providing protein without adverse effect on growth performance, carcass characteristics and internal organs of broiler chickens.

Abstract: A field trial was carried out during the two sunflower growing seasons 2010 and 2011 to find out the negative effects of climate change (CC) phenomenon on production and water productivity of sunflower crop. The experiments were carried out at Sakha and Giza Agricultural Research Stations. The sites represent middle north Nile Delta and middle Egypt areas, respectively. Global Circulation Models (GCMs) and the dynamic crop growth model OILCROP-SUN which imbedded with the computer program "DSSAT" was used to assess the potential impact of climate change on sunflower crop productivity. The results showed that climate change could decrease sunflower seed yield about 16, 9 and 7 % at Sakha; 22, 19 and 13 % at Giza for sunflower genotypes of Sakha53, Hybrid19 and Hybrid20, respectively. In addition, it will caused reduction in crop water productivity about 21, 14 and 11 % at Sakha; 28, 25 and 20 % at Giza, for the same respective sunflower genotypes. Choosing the appropriate adaptation strategies can significantly contribute in reducing the negative impact of climate change on sunflower productivity along with its water productivity. For example, increasing the amount of irrigation water with 10-20% can be resulted in minimizing the negative impact of climate change. Egypt is facing a series water shortage at present and under climate change, the results showed that skipping last irrigation has the least negative effect on crop production.

Abstract: Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) describes a unique set of conditions that are manifested as erosions and ulcerations in the distal esophagus, non glandular and glandular stomach, and proximal duodenum of horses. There is no established etiology of gastric ulcer in horses although association with risk factors such as stress/disease, treatment (iatrogenic factors), exercise, management and environmental factors, dietary factors and factors associated with withholding of feeds are indicated. The pathogenesis gastric ulcers are uncertain but exposure of squamouse mucosa to the acid is probably involved in the development of ulcers in most horses. Management has an important impact on the treatment of gastric ulcer in horses. Horses with gastric ulcers experience a spontaneous healing when removed from the training and kept at the pasture. Prevention of gastric ulcer disease in athletic horses centers up minimizing factors that promote ulcer development. Many studies have been done in different parts of the world in search of knowledge of equine gastric ulceration syndrome emphasis being given to the risk factors, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation of the case, diagnosis, treatment and control and prevention measures that can be applied in order to alleviate the problem.

Abstract: A study was conducted between November 2009 and April 2010 in Hawassa town of Sidama zone of Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State (SNNP) to isolate and characterize pathogenic bacteria causing morbidity and mortality in chickens. Bacterial culturing and Gram staining were used for identification of bacteria. Further characterization was done using biochemical tests. A total of 50 chickens including 35 sick and 15 recently dead were used. A total of 250 samples were aseptically collected from lungs, spleens, intestine, livers and heart blood of the chickens. Ten genera of potentially pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 36% (18/50) chickens. The identified genera/species of bacteria were: Enterococcus, E. coli, motile Salmonella, S. aureus, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Pasteurella, Yersinia, Edwardsiella and Enterobacter. Enterococcus was the most prevalent bacteria 14% (7/50) followed by E. coli with five isolates and Salmonella with three isolates. Pseudomonas, S. aureus and Bacillus were all isolated from two chickens each and Pasteurella, Yersinia, Edwardsiella and Enterobacter from one chicken each. Most isolates were recovered from lung (13), followed by heart blood (9) and liver (6). Mixed bacterial infections were detected in six chickens while single bacterial pathogens were isolated from twelve chickens. In conclusion, the study revealed that bacterial pathogens are highly involved in morbidity and mortality of chickens in the study area challenging the poultry industry calling for remedial interventions.

Abstract: Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to any group of symptoms attributed to obstruction of the coronary arteries. It usually occurs as a result of one of three problems: ST elevation myocardial infarction (30%), non ST elevation myocardial infarction (25%), or unstable angina (38%). These types are named according to the appearance of the electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) as non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). ACS should be distinguished from stable angina, which develops during exertion and resolves at rest. In contrast with stable angina, unstable angina occurs suddenly, often at rest or with minimal exertion, or at lesser degrees of exertion than the individual's previous angina. ACS represents a life-threatening manifestation of atherosclerosis. The key pathophysiological concepts such as vulnerable plaque, coronary thrombosis, vulnerable patient, endothelial dysfunction, accelerated atherothrombosis, secondary mechanisms of NSTE-ACS, and myocardial injury have to be understood for the correct use of the available therapeutic strategies. The lesions predicting ACS are usually angiographically mild, characterized by a thin-cap fibroatheroma, by a large plaque burden, or by a small luminal area, or some combination of these characteristics. Objectives: In our registry, we aimed at assessment of the impact of gender on clinical outcomes and comparison between results of patients managed by invasive strategy and other patients managed by conservative management in 503 patients presented with acute coronary syndrome to National Heart Institute.. Patients and methods: All patients were subjected to detailed medical history with special emphasis on risk factors, general examination, detailed cardiac examination, full laboratory investigations (including cardiac markers, complete lipid profile, hemoglobin concentration, random blood sugar and serum creaitnine) and electrocardiography. Results: Regarding age distribution, our study showed that the mean age was 57.2 ±10.4 years. Hypertension is the most common risk factor encountered. Regarding treatment, our study showed that In UA/NSTEMI group, 81 males and 15 females had an intervention, while 174 males and 32 females had no intervention. In STEMI group, 107 males and 56 females had an intervention, while 25 males and 14 females had no intervention. Regarding comparison between STEMI group and UA/NSTEMI group as regard complications, our study showed that regarding thirty day complications in UA/NSTEMI group, no complications had occurred, while in STEMI group, only 2 males (0.4%) had re-infarction and 2 males (0.4%) had re-intervention and regarding six-month complications in UA/NSTEMI group, no complications had occurred, while in STEMI group, only one male (0.2%) had re-infarction, one male (0.2%) had re-intervention, 2 males (0.4%) had stroke and 3 males (0.6%) were died. Regarding comparison between male and female as regard complications, our study showed statistically significant difference male and female as regard complications, using chi-square test with p-value <0.05 as no complications occured in 81 male patients (28.9%) vs 252 female patients. Left ventricular dysfunction occurred in 55 male patients (19.6%) vs 22 female patients (22%). Pulmonary edema occurred in 12 male patients (4.3%) vs 3 female patients (1%). Atrial fibrillation occurred in 20 male patients (7.1%) vs 4 female patients, ventricular tachy cardia occurred in 10 male patients (3.6%) and 2 female patients (.7%), ventricular fibrillation occurred in 8 male patients (2.9%) and did not occur in females, while complete heart block occurred in 18 male patients (6.4%) and 2 female patients (.7%). Reinfaction occurred in 3 male patients (1.1%) and 2 female patients (.7%), right ventricular infarction occurred in 9 male patients (3.2%) and 1 female patient (.3%), posterior infarction occurred in 2 male patients (.7%) and 1 female patient (.3%). Overall mortality rate was 0.6%. Mortality was higher in those who have ST elevation as compared to those with other ECG changes. Conclusion: Overall mortality rate was 0.6%. Mortality was higher in those who have ST elevation as compared to those with other ECG changes (0.6 % vs 0%). Mortality was also higher in males compared to females.

Abstract: Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are an emerging interventional technique in which surgical Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is injected via a large bore needle into a vertebral body under imaging guidance. This techniques provides increased strength and pain relief for patients with vertebral compression fractures. Objective: To evaluate the technique & the early results of percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in the management of vertebral osteoporotic and traumatic vertebral compression fractures. Materials and methods: The technique was used between January 2015 till March 2017 in 20 patients (14 females and 6 males) patients with 24 painful vertebral fractures. The etiology was osteoporotic vertebral collapse in 16 cases, 4 cases with traumatic vertebral collapse. Age ranges from 36 to 83 years (average 59.5 years). The vertebrae augmented with PMMA were between D6 and L3. 8 (33.3%) were dorsal and 16 were lumbar (66.6%). On a 10-point scale, in osteoporotic patients, the mean visual analogue scale preoperative was 7.66, decreasing to 1.51. In traumatic group of patients, the mean visual analogue scale preoperative was 8, decreasing to 2.7 after the procedure. Two patients experienced symptomatic complications (none major or life threatening). Conclusion: Percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty are effective methods in the management of vertebral osteoporotic and traumatic vertebral compression fractures.
