Exploring Public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Barriers to Using Genetic Services in Damanhur City and Beni-Suef City, Egypt: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Advancements in genetic disorder management mark a transformative era in healthcare. This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to using genetic services among the Egyptian population. A cross-sectional study was used to achieve the aim of the study. A convenient sample was used to involve 385 residents of Damanhur City and Beni-Suef City to represent Upper and Lower Egypt. A validated questionnaire covering socio-demographic details, genetic knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers to using genetic services was used. Regarding genetic knowledge, 70.9% of the participants reported an unsatisfactory level of knowledge about genetics. Furthermore, 67.6% expressed a negative attitude towardgenetic services. Concerns about whether the test result is positive were the most common obstacle, cited by 64.94% of participants, followed by cost, which 60.78% of people found to be a major barrier. Significant associations emerge between socio-demographic factors and awareness levels. The findings illuminate significant gaps in knowledge and attitude levels where less than a third of the participants had a satisfactory level of knowledge and about one-third had a positive attitude regarding genetic testing. Barriers such as concerns about treatment strategies, financial constraints, and conflict with personal beliefs emerge as critical obstacles. The identified associations between socio-demographic factors and awareness levels underscore the need for targeted interventions tailored to specific demographic groups. This study recommends developing and implementing culturally sensitive awareness campaigns about genetics tailored to the specific demographic characteristics of the Egyptian population.

Coping Strategies among Elderly Women with Knee Osteoarthritis Pain at Beni-Suef City: Impact of Socio-demographic Characteristics

Background: Given that optimization of management of the subscapularis is essential to ensuring an optimal outcome after shoulder arthroplasty, this review will focus on the ideal method of Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy (LTO) repair and the methods by which this is assessed. Specifically, we will review the existing literature to determine how suture configuration, number of sutures, type of sutures, and osteotomy size all influence the biomechanics of an LTO repair. Methods: A systematic review was performed in which one reviewer searched PubMed to find studies analyzing biomechanical strength of lesser tuberosity osteotomy repairs after a total shoulder arthroplasty. The following keywords were used to retrieve articles: (biomechanical) and (Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy) or (LTO) or (subscapularis repair) and (total shoulder). Results: Nine studies met inclusion criteria. LTO was the strongest, most durable repair in most biomechanical studies. However, the biomechanical testing protocols and repair techniques widely varied throughout the literature. Dual row repair with sutures wrapped around the stem as well thin LTO fragments showed superior biomechanical outcomes. There has been minimal literature focusing on how the number, size and type of suture utilized in a repair affect biomechanical outcomes. Discussion: While the LTO repair technique has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be a biomechanically superior method of subscapularis repair in the setting of TSA, there has not been a single study which has analyzed the effects of repair technique, osteotomy size, as well as suture number/type/size using a standardized biomechanical testing protocol.

Systematic Review of Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy Techniques, Outcomes and Biomechanical Testing Parameters: A Critical Appraisal

Background: The leading cause of pain and incapacity in elderly women is Osteoarthritis (OA). It affects females more frequently than males. The quantity and quality of coping resources that a person may have at their disposal affect the coping style they ultimately choose. The purpose of this study was to examine how the socio-demographic features of older women in Beni-Suef city who were experiencing knee Osteoarthritis (OA) pain affected their coping mechanisms. Design: The current study used a descriptive cross-sectional research design. The investigation was conducted in the orthopaedics outpatient clinic and the physiotherapy unit at Beni-Suef University Hospital. Subjects: In the current study, 300 studied women were recruited using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Tools: Pain Coping Inventory (PCI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Interview Questionnaire Results: Based on the visual analogue scale for measuring pain intensity. It demonstrates that 50% of the older women in the study had low coping skills, 49.3% experienced moderate pain, 50.3% had moderate and 50.3% had severe pain. Younger (65-70 years old), women with intermediate education (38.5% and 32.7%), women who were retired and unemployed (48.1% and 32.7%), married (92.3%), women who lived in rural areas (53.8%) and elderly adult women with an adequate family income (92.3%) were more likely to use high levels of coping strategies. There was a positive association between pain level and activities of daily life (r= 0.109 and p= 0.05) and a severe negative link between the overall pain coping inventory and degree of pain (r= -0.280 and p= 0.000). Conclusion: Age, educational attainment, employment position and marital status all significantly influenced how well older women coped with pain. Even Nevertheless, there was a statistically significant correlation between the ability of older women to cope with pain and their monthly income and area of residence. The overall pain coping inventory and the visual analogue scale were shown to have a substantial negative connection. While the Katz scale for ADL and the pain coping inventory showed a positive association.

Induction of ovulation in women with PCOS using letrozole versus letrozole plus gonadotropin and its effect on spontaneous on going pregnancy rate through multicenter IVF in Beni-Suef city using randomized controlled study

Background: We developed a multicenter randomized observational trial to assess the effectiveness of letrozole monotherapy and the co-therapy of letrozole and gonadotropins on pregnancy outcomes including the ovulation induction, pregnancy rate, estradiol (E2) levels and endometrial thickness in infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).Methods:At three in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers in Egypt, we conducted our study since May 2019 until we have recruited the planned number of patients. Infertile PCOS patients were recruited after they met our criteria. We had two intervention groups based on the treatment regimen.Moreover, baseline parameters, outcomes, and hormonal assessment was conducted throughout the study period. Results: We included 90 patients in this study and were equally randomized into two groups; the letrozole monotherapy (Group A) and the letrozole with gonadotropins (Group B) groups. The mean age was significantly higher in group A [26 (±3.5)] than group B [24.2 (±3.1)] (P= 0.015). Both groups showed resulted in similar pregnancy rates (31.1%) (P= 0.079).Moreover, group B [2.4 (±0.8)] resulted in a significantly higher (P= 0.023) mean number of follicles than group A [2.0 (±0.7)]. On the other hand, no statistical significance was estimated in terms of estradiol levels and endometrial thickness (P= 0.209 and 0.485, respectively).

Conversion of Sewage Water into H2 Gas Fuel Using Hexagonal Nanosheets of the Polyaniline-Assisted Deposition of PbI2 as a Nanocomposite Photocathode with the Theoretical Qualitative Ab-Initio Calculation of the H2O Splitting.

This study is very promising for providing a renewable enrgy (H2 gas fuel) under the elctrochemical splitting of the wastwater (sewage water). This study has double benefits: hydrogen generation and contaminations removel. This study is carried out on sewage water, third stage treated, from Beni-Suef city, Egypt. Antimony tin oxide (ATO)/polyaniline (PANI)/PbI2 photoelectrode is prepared through the in situ oxidative polymerization of PANI on ATO, then PANI is used as an assistant for PbI2 deposition using the ionic adsorption deposition method. The chemical structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties of the composite are confirmed using different analytical tools such as X-ray diffreaction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmision electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The prepared PbI2 inside the composite has a crystal size of 33 nm (according to the peak at 12.8°) through the XRD analyses device. SEM and TEM confirm the hexagonal PbI2 sheets embedded on the PANI nanopores surface. Moreover, the bandgap values are enhanced very much after the composite formation, in which the bandgap values for PANI and PANI/PbI2 are 3 and 2.51 eV, respectively. The application of ATO/PANI/PbI2 nanocomposite electrode for sewage splitting and H2 generation is carried out through a three-electrode cell. The measurements carreid out using the electrocehical worksattion under th Xenon lamp (100 mW.cm−2). The produced current density (Jph) is 0.095 mA.cm−2 at 100 mW.cm−2 light illumination. The photoelectrode has high reproducibility and stability, in which and the number of H2 moles is 6 µmole.h−1.cm−1. The photoelectrode response to different monochromatic light, in which the produced Jph decreases from 0.077 to 0.072 mA.cm−2 with decreasing of the wavelengths from 390 to 636 nm, respectively. These values confirms the high response of the ATO/PANI/PbI2 nanocomposite electrode for the light illuminaton and hydrogen genration under broad light region. The thermodynamic parameters: activation energy (Ea), enthalpy (ΔH*), and entropy (ΔS*) values are 7.33 kJ/mol, −4.7 kJ/mol, and 203.3 J/mol.K, respectively. The small values of ΔS* relted to the high sesnivity of the prepared elctrode for the water splitting and then the hydrogen gneration. Finally, a theoretical study was mentioned for calculation geometry, electrochemical, and thermochemistry properties of the polyaniline/PbI2 nanocomposite as compared with that for the polyaniline.
