Item THE ROLE OF CERVICAL LENGTH ASSESSMENT IN MANAGEMENT OF LOW AND HIGH RISK OF PRETERM LABOUR, REVIEW ARTICLE(مركز النيلين الطبي, 2015) Khalid Yassin 1, MRCOG MRCOG; Elhadi Miskeen 2; A/Salam Gerais 3 MD, FICS, FRCOGBackground: Transvaginal ultrasonography has been widely accepted as a non-invasive and objective method for the evaluation of cervical status in women with preterm labor, low risk and high risk. Method: In this review, we focus on clinical studies involving transvaginal sonographic assessment of the cervix in asymptomatic women at high risk of preterm delivery and in the general pregnant population. Publication Types included systematic reviews, meta-analysis, randomized-controlled trials (RCTs), and case-controlled studies. Result: We included thirty studies in this review. A significant role of the role of cervical length assessment in management of preterm labour was shown in details. Conclusions: High-quality ultrasound machines in labour wards is more strongly indicated for predicting spontaneous preterm, although staffing issues and the feasibility and acceptability to mothers and health providers of such investigation to be explored. Further research should include compare with other investigations of low-cost and effective tests to assess the cervical length by transvaginal sonography in predict of preterm labour is highly require.

The genus Helicobacter belongs to the subdivision of the Proteobacteria, order Campylobacterales, family Helicobacter-aceae. The genus Helicobacter consists of over 20 recognized species (Fox, 2002). Members of the genus Helicobacter are all microaerophilic organisms and in most cases are catalase and oxidase positive, and many but not all species are also ureases positive. Helicobacter species can be subdivided into two major lineages, the gastric Helicobacter species and the enterohepatic (nongastric) Helicobacter species. Both groups demonstrate a high level of organ specificity, such that gastric helicobacters in general are unable to colonize the intestine or liver, and vice-versa.Item Situation analysis of Participation of Married Men in Family planning - AlkalaklaAlgoba North-Jebel Aulia Locality-Khartoum State (2014)(مركز النيلين الطبي, 2015) Omima Edris Mohammed Edris1; Dr. Mustafa Elnimeiri 2Background: Family planning allows individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their births. .Objectives: The overall objective was to study the situation of the married men in Alklakla Algoba North regarding their attitude and participation of family planning. Methods: A community-based descriptive cross sectional study conducted from April 2012 to April 2015 at Alklakla Algoba North in Jabal Awlia Locality - Khartoum State. The estimated sample size mounted to three hundred and seventy two participants .By simple random sample clusters are selected and all house hold in the cluster were included(single-stage cluster sampling).A standardized administered questionnaire was developed, pre –tested and used to generate information on personal –demographic characteristics, general knowledge, attitude and participation about family planning methods .A modified scale (Very poor –Very good) and six point Likert type scale was used. The collected data were analyzed by the computer programme SPSS version 16 and presented as tables, pies and pillars coupled with narrative description. Regarding test of significance, p-value was accepted as 0.05. NMJ June 2015 vol.3 No.16 ISSN 1858-6155 Results: Third of participant (35%) were fall in age group (30-39). The results showed that the vast (98% of participants had heard about family planning from mass media source, In addition 94% of participants knew that family planning methods could be obtained from health related facilities.52% of the participant did not use to help their wives in the choice of the family planning methods. Most participant (56%) did not use FP methods because they did not have enough information, (28%) of them did not participate for religious reasons and (18%) for cultural reasons. Moreover the knowledge of the respondents was statistically significant with the level of education (p-value =0.04) and opinion of men (p-value=0.021). Conclusion: Most of the interviewed men had heard about family planning from mass media source and their knowledge about types of the methods , In addition they had negative attitude towards helping their wives in choice of the family planning methods.

Rayes4Background: Hepatic rupture during pregnancy is a rare but lethal condition requiring rapid recognition and multidisciplinary management. The condition is most often associated with preeclampsia/eclampsia and/or HELLP syndrome (Haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) (1). Because of the difficulty of diagnosis, the condition is often associated with increased morbidity and mortality (2). Different modalities of treatments have been suggested. Treatment should be individualized depending on extend of rupture and available expertise. We describe a case of spontaneous postpartum hepatic rupture in a 40 -year’s grandmultiparous with the diagnosis of Pre-eclampsia, abruptio placentae and postpartum haemorrhage. Clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are discussed and related literature reviewed. .

Pylori and Urticaria or Gastritis(مركز النيلين الطبي, 2015) Sheema Mohsin Mustafa1; Ahmed Bolad1; Maha Ibrahim1; Tarig Abbas1; Alsagad Altayeb1Background: Studies have established that Helicobacter pylori can cause chronic gastritis. Recent evidence suggests that Helicobacter pylori infections play a great role in the pathogenesis of a variety of skin diseases, the best evidence for such a link is found for two diseases; chronic urticaria and immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Objectives: the current study is aiming at evaluating the relationship between H. pylori among patients with different cutaneous problems mainly chronic urticaria by using immunological methods. On the other hand the study is aiming at verifying the effect of treatment on the prevalence of disease. Materials and Methods: 119 Specimens (blood and stool samples) were obtained. Serum was stored at -20°C until used. Stool was collected in clean container and tested immediately. Specimens were processed by Serum ICT (ACCURATE, diagnostic use, china) and Stool Antigen ICT KITS (CERTEST BIOTEC S.L.) for detection of H. pylori. Significance tests, measures of accuracy and confidence intervals were calculated using the biomedical Stats Direct Statistical Software v2.7.9 (7/9/2012). IBM SPSS Statistics v22 was used in the descriptive data analysis. Results and discussion: H. Pylori infection was detected in about half of the patients who suffered from either urticaria or gastritis. The prevalence of H. Pylori was estimated in the three groups as 48.3% (CI: 35.2% to 61.6%); in the urticaria group, 51.7% (CI: 32.5% to 70.6%); in the gastritis group and 13.3% (CI: 3.8% to 30.7%) in the apparently healthy group (labelled ‘Normal’). Proportions of H. Pylori infection in the urticaria and the gastritis groups were not statistically significantly different. Both groups, however, had a significantly different proportion of HP infected patients when compared with the apparently healthy (Normal) group. This statistically significant difference was suggestive of an association between H. Pylori and both of urticaria and gastritis. Keywords: H. Pylori; Urticaria; Gastritis
