Background: Cognitive impairment should be accurately assessed in the elderly. The presence of a valid Arabic version of the SLUMS Examination would allow better diagnosis of cognitive impairment as it considers different educational levels prevalent in the Egyptian community. Aim: To assess the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of Saint-Louis-University-Mental-Status (SLUMS) Examination for cognitive impairment and to estimate the prevalence of cognitive impairment among...

This study integrates quantitative methods to detect surface and near-surface geological linear structures from digital elevation model. A set of altitude, slope and shaded relief maps was enhanced by applying Sobel filter with 10% threshold and percentile stretch to detect geological fractures and their displacements over regional scale. Topographic fabric grain algorithm, which classifies point lines into the ridge/valley and quantifies the degree to which all the ridges and valleys are...

Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem.To i) assess knowledge, attitude, random blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in type 2 diabetics, ii) investigate the effect of different socio-demographic factors on acquiring knowledge about diabetes, iii) assess the effectiveness of health education on knowledge, attitude, blood sugar and HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetics.This intervention study was carried out on 122 randomly selected type 2 diabetics attending diabetes...

Background: Professional nurses need to develop critical thinking skills that will provide them with expertise in situation- specific problem solving. Objectives: Describe the critical thinking and self directed learning abilities of the nursing students following Problem- based learning approach in two countries; Egypt and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia KSA. Method: A descriptive analytic research design was conducted. The study sample was consists of 60 students from first year in faculty of...

Students have unique ways of learning, which may greatly affect the learning process and its outcome. In the process of education, instead of classifying students according to their insufficiency, teachers should try to get to know them and determine their cognitive, sensorial and kinetic characteristics. This study on improving learning style inventory, aims to help technical industrial teachers determine students’ attributes in individualized educational activities in technical drawing...

The aim is to reach the understanding of the breadth, magnitude, complexity and potential of the human brain and its relation to different cognitive performances. The dynamic concept of the mental cognitive formation and the processing of information refer to the interactive of the changing nature of the neurobiological, mental cognitive and motivational emotion of man in his response to the environmental determinants. This point of view of the mental cognitive activity is one of the newest...

The paper had three main objectives which are: 1) to determine the relationship between parents ’education and academic achievement at secondary schools in Mogadishu, Somalia. 2) To examine the relationship between parents ’occupation and academic achievement at secondary schools in Mogadishu, Somalia. 3) To explore the relationship between parents...

The future of the society depends on the quality of life of the children.The nutritional status of school aged children impacts their health, cognition and subsequently their educational achievement.The present study was conducted to determine the nutritional status and dietary habits of school aged children (6-12 years) attending public (non-fee paying-NFP) and private (fee paying-FP) primary schools in Zagazig city; capital of Sharqia governorate, Egypt.Based on the World Health...

Results: The study revealed that 26 (27.7%) patients had normal cognitive function, 32 (43%) had mild cognitive impairment, 21 (23%) had mild dementia, 8 (8.5%) had moderate dementia and 7 (7.4%) had severe dementia. Older age, low education level and longer duration of dialysis history were found to have significant associations with cognitive impairment, [P: < 0.001, 0.002, and 0.012 respectively]. While hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum creatinine, serum urea, serum potassium and Kt/V...

Persistent organic pollutants represent about 95 % of the industrial sector effluents in Egypt. Contamination of the River Nile water with various pesticides poses a hazardous risk to both human and environmental compartments. Therefore, a large scale monitoring study was carried on pesticides pollution in three geographical main regions along the River Nil water stream, Egypt.Organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed by...

Mutations in GJB2, a gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin 26 (Cx26), are a major cause for inherited and sporadic non-syndromic hearing loss, albeit with highly variable clinical effects. To determine new mutations and their frequencies in a Southern Egyptian population restriction fragment length polymorphism, gene sequencing, and single strand conformational polymorphism revealed only 2 mutations for GJB2: c.35delG and p.I71N. The allelic frequency of the c.35delG mutation was...

Ten polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were determined in water samples collected along the River Nile using gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD). PCB concentrations ranged from 14 to 20 μ g/L, which were higher than those reported in previous studies, indicating serious PCB pollution in the River Nile. PCB congener profiles varied depending on the sampling sties. PCB-138 was the predominant congener accounting for more than 18% of total PCBs. The composition of PCB...

<p class="p1"><strong>Background: </strong>In Egypt, several infectious diseases of zoonotic origin have emerged in recent years like H1N1, MERSCoV and H5N1, the latter now endemic. Responding to these diseases requires a workforce trained in multi-disciplinary approaches to zoonotic disease research and control. It is difficult to deliver multidisciplinary and one health training globally because of the limited number of higher education programs that support such training. In low and...
