Background. Trichophyton species are considered the most frequent causative and considerable agents in infection concerns. Objective. The existing training designed to conduct the sequencing analysis ...of nucleotides of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 for Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Methods. The isolation and identification of pathogenic fungi, Trichophyton mentagrophytes from clinical specimens was done based on the standard morphological and molecular methods. The genomic DNA of fungal isolates were extracted and purified to amplify with primers of 18S rRNA gene for detection and sequencing the nitrogenous bases to define the genetic variation among clinical isolates of Trichophyton mentagrophytes in compared with strains recorded in NCBI GenBank. Results. Eight isolates of Trichophyton mentagrophytes were isolated and identified from clinical specimen of dermatophytosis. The DNA sequencing analysis showed the presence of some genetic variation in nitrogenous bases between the local isolates and that recorded in locus of world NCBI GenBank. Multiple Alignment sequence using NCBI BLAST revealed the recoding a new mutant isolate among the local isolates based on DNA homology percent. Conclusion. The present results proved the successful the use of molecular methods in diagnosis the fungal isolates of Trichophyton mentagrophytes especially the sequencing analysis to find the genetically bases of these isolates.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection is a global problem but it can be prevented with the appropriate implementation of evidence-based guidelines. This study was conducted to assess the level ...of compliance of healthcare workers with the catheter-associated urinary tract infection prevention guidelines during the insertion of a urinary catheter.
An observational study using a descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted at Sana'a City hospitals, Yemen. All the nurses and physicians from the governmental, teaching, and private hospitals were eligible to participate in the study. The data collection was performed through convenience sampling from March 2020 to December 2020, using a structured observational checklist prepared specifically for this study.
The majority of the urinary catheter insertions were performed by nurses. There were no written policy or procedures for an urinary catheter insertion and no in-service education or training departments in the majority of the hospitals. The overall mean score of compliance was 7.31 of 10. About 71% of the healthcare workers had a high or acceptable level of compliance and 29% had an unsafe level of compliance. Compliance was low for maintaining aseptic technique throughout the insertion procedure, using a single use packet of lubricant jelly, performing hand hygiene immediately before insertion, and securing the urinary catheter once inserted. Factors affecting the healthcare workers compliance were gender, the working ward/unit of the healthcare workers, the availability of a written policy/procedure and a department or unit for in-service education.
Yemeni healthcare workers' overall compliance was acceptable but it was unsafe in several critical measures. There is an urgent need for developing, implementing, and monitoring national guidelines and institutional policy and procedures for catheter-associated urinary tract infection prevention. Periodical in-service education and training programs and adequate access to the necessary materials and supplies are paramount.

While a large number of aged people are subject to heart disease, the need to a monitoring system that early detect the disease is increased. In this work physiological parameters, such as pulse ...rate, Temperature of human are measure through the proposed system. This system designed using Arduino, heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, and LCD.
(RFID) is a technology used for identification or tracking of any objects. RFID system contains "tag and RFID reader" that performs the main operation of identifying things. a library system has been ...built using RFID components and using special programs. Microsoft access database was used to build the tables that needs to store the information of the books. The implementation of the system has been done in two main stages, the first one is a Hardware Device "RFID-RC522" and "Arduino card", and the second is the implementation of a specific read software program, a graphical User Interface (GUI) for the system has been built by using Visual Basic (VB).
Wireless power transfer depends on some scientific methods such as a ringing and electromagnetic. This idea developed to transfer power to distance more than other methods that used a magnetic field. ...This development leads in inventing wirelessly charging devices that may be used for example in mobile charging. The main objective of this paper is to design a circuit that has a transmitter and receiver worked at the same frequency, and used for wireless power transmitting. For this to be done the transmitter and receiver coils need to be the same, capacitors may be vary depending on the application type.
Summary Background The Arab world has a set of historical, geopolitical, social, cultural, and economic characteristics and has been involved in several wars that have affected the burden of disease. ...Moreover, financial and human resources vary widely across the region. We aimed to examine the burden of diseases and injuries in the Arab world for 1990, 2005, and 2010 using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010). Methods We divided the 22 countries of the Arab League into three categories according to their gross national income: low-income countries (LICs; Comoros, Djibouti, Mauritania, Yemen, and Somalia), middle-income countries (MICs; Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, occupied Palestinian territory, Sudan, Syria, and Tunisia), and high-income countries (HICs; Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates). For the whole Arab world, each income group, and each individual country, we estimated causes of death, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), DALY-attributable risk factors, years of life lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLLs), and life expectancy by age and sex for 1990, 2005, and 2010. Findings Ischaemic heart disease was the top cause of death in the Arab world in 2010 (contributing to 14·3% of deaths), replacing lower respiratory infections, which were the leading cause of death in 1990 (11·0%). Lower respiratory infections contributed to the highest proportion of DALYs overall (6·0%), and in female indivduals (6·1%), but ischaemic heart disease was the leading cause of DALYs in male individuals (6·0%). DALYs from non-communicable diseases—especially ischaemic heart disease, mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, musculoskeletal disorders including low back pain and neck pain, diabetes, and cirrhosis—increased since 1990. Major depressive disorder was ranked first as a cause of YLDs in 1990, 2005, and 2010, and lower respiratory infections remained the leading cause of YLLs in 2010 (9·2%). The burden from HIV/AIDS also increased substantially, specifically in LICs and MICs, and road injuries continued to rank highly as a cause of death and DALYs, especially in HICs. Deaths due to suboptimal breastfeeding declined from sixth place in 1990 to tenth place in 2010, and childhood underweight declined from fifth to 11th place. Interpretation Since 1990, premature death and disability caused by communicable, newborn, nutritional, and maternal disorders (with the exception of HIV/AIDS) has decreased in the Arab world—although these disorders do still persist in LICs—whereas the burden of non-communicable diseases and injuries has increased. The changes in the burden of disease will challenge already stretched human and financial resources because many Arab countries are now dealing with both non-communicable and infectious diseases. A road map for health in the Arab world is urgently needed. Funding Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
