Comparative analysis of the conventional primary healthcare services and family health program in Cairo, Egypt
...Show More Authors

Background: Primary healthcare in Egypt has undergone significant reforms since the 1990s, including the pioneering Family Health Program (FHP). However, limited evaluation exists regarding the FHP's impact on enhancing the delivery of primary healthcare services. The primary objective of this study was to analyze and understand the efficiency and effectiveness of the FHP in altering the delivery of primary healthcare in Egypt. We aimed to outline the fundamental characteristics of the primary healthcare system, compare them between the conventional and the newly reformed FHP centers, and gauge the awareness level of these variances among key decision-makers, focusing specifically on Cairo, Egypt. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a mixed methods approach to evaluate and compare the quality of care between conventional clinics and FHP clinics in Cairo using the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) tool. The study population consisted of healthcare providers and municipal health authorities in Cairo. A purposive sampling method was used to select 19 FHP clinics and 12 conventional clinics, representing 75% of the total government primary care clinics in Cairo. Surveys were conducted among healthcare providers at these clinics, and interviews were conducted with 8 carefully selected municipal health authorities in supervisory roles. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the survey responses. The chi-square (y2) test was employed to examine variations in scores between FHP and conventional clinics, with significance attributed to differences at the P < 0.05 level. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the reliability of the scales used within each primary care dimension. Results: FHP clinics scored significantly higher on continuity of care (4.17 ± 0.37 vs. 3.68 ± 0.51, P = 0.05), family-centered approach (4.28 ± 0.59 vs. 2.97 ± 0.44, P = 0.01), and provider competency (4.29 ± 0.39 vs. 3.42 ± 0.99, P = 0.01) compared to conventional clinics. FHP clinics were more likely to offer domestic violence services (2.76 ± 1.49 vs. 1.80 ± 1.74, P = 0.02), tuberculosis treatment (2.73 ± 2.11 vs. 0.12 ± 0.34, P = 0.029), and prenatal care (4.75 ± 0.00 vs. 4.01 ± 1.56, P = 0.014). Conclusion: While FHP clinics demonstrate benefits in continuity, family-focus, and provider competency, quality improvements are still required in both conventional and FHP clinics to achieve comprehensive, continuous, integrated, and patient-centered primary healthcare aligned with community needs. Further evaluations are warranted given the continued expansion of the FHP program.

The effect of unsecured use of chemical pesticides on the environment and health in Iraq
...Show More Authors

The wide use of pesticides in recent years leads to rapid distribution of these pollutants in the environment (air, water and soil).They were transported by means of air or water to biological ecosystems. They become more toxic through the processes of biological magnification while some of them persist for along period.The aim of this work is to show the negative effect that chemical pesticides causes, and in the same to show their side effect on the environment and health in Iraq. We could conclude that the bad use of these chemicals could cause an urgent impact now or in the future. Governmental offices dealing with these materials should take the right measures to minimize the danger and the misuse of these chemicals by seeking alternat

Efficacy of Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery in the Treatment of Primary Trigeminal Neuralgia
...Show More Authors

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), or Tic Douloureux, is one of the most common neuropathic pains. Gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GNSRS) has been considered one of the procedures for treating primary TN. Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of GNSRS in treating primary TN in patients who are unresponsive to medical treatment in a single-center experience. Subjects and Methods: This study was conducted on 180 patients from January 2018 to October 2021. The study utilized the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) pain intensity score to assess pain before and after GNSRS treatment. Results: A total of 180 patients with primary TN were included in this study, 108 female with a 1.5:1 female: male ratio.  Results

Implementation of Power System Stabilizer Based on Conventional and Fuzzy Logic Controllers
...Show More Authors

To damp the low-frequency oscillations which occurred due to the disturbances in the electrical power system, the generators are equipped with Power System Stabilizer (PSS) that provide supplementary feedback stabilizing signals. The low-frequency oscillations in power system are classified as local mode oscillations, intra-area mode oscillation, and interarea mode oscillations. A suitable PSS model was selected considering the low frequencies oscillation in the inter-area mode based on conventional PSS and Fuzzy Logic Controller. Two types of (FIS) Mamdani and suggeno were considered in this paper. The software of the methods was executed using MATLAB R2015a package.

Use Conventional and Statistical Methods for Porosity Estimating in Carbonate Reservoir in Southern Iraq, Case Study
...Show More Authors

Porosity is important because it reflects the presence of oil reserves. Hence, the number of underground reserves and a direct influence on the essential petrophysical parameters, such as permeability and saturation, are related to connected pores. Also, the selection of perforation interval and recommended drilling additional infill wells. For the estimation two distinct methods are used to obtain the results: the first method is based on conventional equations that utilize porosity logs. In contrast, the second approach relies on statistical methods based on making matrices dependent on rock and fluid composition and solving the equations (matrices) instantaneously. In which records have entered as equations, and the matrix is sol

Background: Gray-scale sonography is generally
considered as a first-line diagnostic tool for patient with
suspected acute cholecystitis. It is suggested by gallstones,
Murphy's sign, thickening of the gallbladder wall and bile
sludging, but the specificity of these sonographic findings
are not as high as their sensitivity. Blood flow of the
gallbladder wall is increased in acute inflammation.
Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of
power Doppler sonography and compared with conventional
color Doppler and gray-scale sonography in diagnosing
patients with acute cholecystitis.
Type of the study: This was a cross sectional study.
