RESUMO
Problem: The problem finds in the following main question: How electronic newspapers Process the issues of political?
Importance: Connectivity features that are unique to electronic newspapers and that makes it fertile ground for political communication occupies the role that could be played by "political Islam" movements, figures prominently in the political debate for the post- revolutions in the Arab world
Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify How electronic newspapers Process the issues of political Islam
Type of study: This study is considered one of the descriptive studies. And use this sample survey method
Sample: The sample included a documentary on a sample of the following electronic newspapers [Al Mary Al Youm, Al- Ahram, the gate of freedom and justice] applied during the period from June 30, 2013 until June 30, 2014 using the method of manufacturing week
Tools: The study data were collected through a content analysis tool
Results: News occupied the first place in the form of the press, in which the issues of political Islam were presented in electronic newspapers. The sample of the study was 67%, followed by the article by 33%, The study showed that the most important issues addressed by electronic newspapers the study sample was the cause of [monopoly reins] in the lead at 80.1%, followed by the issue of [political Islam and the opposition] in second place with 65.9%, and in third place the issue of [political Islam and extremism] increased by 38.3%, then the issue of [young people and political Islam] in fourth place with 15.07%, followed by fifth place the issue of [the relationship between the West and political Islam] increased by 13.2%, and ranked sixth issue [rights of non- Muslims and women] increased by 11.9%, then the issue [of democracy and political Islam] in seventh place with 8.7%, and the issue [media freedom and creativity and political Islam] in eight place with 5.7, and ranked ninth and final issue [Islamic caliphate] by 2.4%
RESUMO
Background: cardiac complications are the most common cause of death in patients with Beta thalassemia. Early diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction is important for prevention of mortality and morbidity in those patients
Subjects and methods: 20 patients with beta thalassemia major and 20 subjects age matched controls were selected for this study aiming to compare left ventricular functions between them. Doppler echo radiography and tissue Doppler were performed in all subjects. All subjects had normal ejection fraction at the time of examination
Results: patients with beta thalassemia had significantly higher E velocity, E/A ratio, IVRT and Tei index [P< 0.001, 0.01, 0.01, and 0.01 respectively]. Tissue Doppler velocities in both systole [s wave] and early diastole [e wave] were significantly lower in patients with thalassemia compared with normal controls starting from base to apex [P <0.001, 0.05, and 0.01] for s wave and [< 0.001, 0.05 and 0.001] for e wave
Conclusions: patients with beta thalassemia with normal ejection fraction had left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction that can be easily detected using TEI index and tissue Doppler echocardiography
RESUMO
This is a prospective observational study, comparing between three general physiology based prognostic scoring systems, which have been primarily developed to measure severity of illness and predict patient's outcome in pediatric intensive care unit [PICU]: Pediatric index of Mortality score [PIM], Pediatric Risk of Mortality score [PRISM] using both the original and current coefficients; in addition to evaluating the type and number of Organ System Failure [OSF]. The main goal was to assess the performance of each score. We prospectively collected data of 750 patients [447 males and 303 females] consecutively admitted to PICU with crude mortality rate of 5.6%. The study demonstrated that PIM score had good performance as evidenced by good discrimination and calibration in both the overall population as well as in two different subgroups [neonates and nonsurgical], but not in surgical, in addition to it is free and simple to use. It has also been demonstrated that PRISM score [original coefficients] had a poor performance in the overall population, as well as in nonsurgical and neonates but not in surgical subgroup. Meanwhile, PRISM [current coefficients] score showed good performance in the overall population, as well as in two subgroups [surgical and non surgical] but not in neonates. This is indicating the need to update and recalibrate prognostic scoring systems to maintain good performance over time. The new coefficients used in PRISM [current coefficients] in this study to compute mortality risk estimates were just developed to show the change in mortality risk over time and do not constitute a new pediatric mortality prediction scoring system. This study found also that organ system failure [OSF] is an important independent risk factor of death and patients with multiple organ system failure [two or more organ system failures] are more likely to die than those with one or less organ system failure
RESUMO
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of variable degrees of environmental exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy in 152 nonsmoking pregnant women. Based on a questionnaire fulfilled by the parents, newborns were classified into five groups depending on degree of exposure. Birth weight of babies born to mothers significantly exposed to tobacco smoke was 230 grams less than those babies born to non- exposed mothers. Also, there was a difference of 176 grams in birth weight between babies born to mothers significantly exposed to tobacco smoke and babies born to mothers occasionally exposed to tobacco smoke. It was concluded that passive smoking has a negative influence on intrauterine fetal growth and duration of exposure is more important than intensity of exposure
