- ItemA rare diagnostic case of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(Science Progress and Research, 2021-12-22) Mujahed Nooraldaem Mirghani Adam; Mohammed NooraldaemMirghani Adam; Alkhair Abd Almahmoud Idris; Ali Seedahmed Mohamed Ali; Ismail Osman KhalidAngioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma is a malignancy of mature T-cells. A 45 years old Sudanese female with generalized lymphadenomegalyreferred from Tayba hospital to Al-tayseer reference medical centre in histopathology and cytology laboratory department (Sudan) for her lymph node histopathology analysis. A surgical lymph node biopsy for histopathology analysis stained by H&E was performed and sections showed effacement of normal architecture of lymph node with disappearance of follicles and germinal center composed of polymorphic infiltrate of small tumour cells and large tumour cells. The small tumour cells showed irregular nuclei and clear cytoplasm. In this case report, we state that the delay of diagnosis was mainly a consequence of an insufficient clinical history, which led to an incomplete histological analysis, delay of reporting and need for second opinions for interpretation.

- ItemAwareness of Sudanese Primary Health Care Workers about Oral Cancer(International Journal of Academic Pedagogical Research, 2021-08) Alkhair Abd Almahmoud Idris; Sakeena Mohammed Aldouma; Fatima Ali MohammedOral cancer is one of the 10 most frequent cancers worldwide; with about three-quarters of all cases occurring in the developing countries. Oral cancer is one of the major health problems in the Sudan, due to the habit use of Toombak which contain high level of the potent carcinogenic component of the tobacco. This study was aimed to assess the awareness of Sudanese primary health care workers about oral cancer. This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in Khartoum State (Sudan).Questionnaires were filled with two hundred primary health care workers in Khartoum State, who were randomly selected included doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technologists, laboratory assistants and counters, assessed their knowledge about oral cancer. Analyses of data were carried out using the SPSS for windows software package. Our results revealed that most of respondents (52%) were at the prime of their youth [20-30 years] and (68.5%) had university education. There was gender differences among respondents, most of them were males constituted 64.5%, the majority (50%) had monthly income between 500-1000 which they were related to middle economic class. Most of respondents (54.5%) were tobacco users, (47%) were cigarette smokers, and among tobacco users majority of them (42%) were used it in between (7-10 years) and (42%) were used it only one time/day. Most of them (82%) were free of alcohol drink and Aragi had been the drink of choice to most of respondents constituted (42%). All respondents (100 %) had heard about oral cancer, Most of them (29%) got their knowledge of oral cancer from television, and majority of them (69%) choice tobacco as the major risk factor for oral cancer. Most of respondents (27%) mentioned that swelling in mouth is the most important signs of oral cancer, and (33%) choice bleeding in mouth as the most important symptoms of oral cancer. Most of respondents (45%) said that histological technique (examination of surgical biopsy) is the best method for diagnosis, and (42%) preferred chemotherapy as the best method for treatment. Majority of respondents (53%) considered stop using of tobacco and early diagnosis as the best method for prevention of oral cancer. In conclusion our results revealed that primary health workers in Khartoum State (Sudan) had a good knowledge about oral cancer risk factors, signs, symptoms, diagnostic techniques and prevention methods but they had poor knowledge about the best treatment methods of oral cancer.

- ItemEvaluation of the Effect of Three Local Methods on Treatment of Contaminated Water in Rural Area in Sudan(International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research, 2021-08) Nazar Abdelaziz El Nasri; Alkhair Abd Almahmoud Idris; Reem Hassan Hussein; Shahinaz IbrahimElnaimWater contamination was playing a major role in the health hazards. Scientific verification for some natural methods used to treat water is still limited. Aim: This laboratory based study aimed to evaluate the effect of Broad bean seed (vicia faba), Fenugreek seed (Trigonela foenum gracium) and Zir in treatment of contaminated water. Materials and methods: One sample of water from Gabarona Camp in West Omdurman was examined for Physical, Chemical and microbial parameters before and after treatment with Broad bean seed, Fenugreek seed and stored in Zir in different duration of times for 5, 10,15,30,45 and 60 minutes . Results: The addition of Fenugreek, Broad bean seeds and storage in Zir lead to partially reduction of Physical characteristics of water. The results of chemical analysis of GWTBB, GWTF and GWTZ, showed that total dissolved salts (TDS) were ranged from (520-900 mg/l). After treatment with the Fenugreek, Broad bean and Zir the level of Total hardness was improved to minimum of 50, 45, and 48 at 60 min respectively. The reduction in total hardness and total dissolve salts for GWBB, GWTF and GWTZ was found to be statically differences (p≤0.05). The addition of Broad bean and storage in Zir reduced water fluoride content at 5 min to 1.3 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l. respectively. While treated water using Fenugreek exhibited lower reduction from 1.7 mg/l to 1.3 mg/l at 60 minutes. The MPN of untreated water sample was (440). The results indicate a reduction in the microbial load in GWTF, GWTBB and GWTZ by increased time duration of treatments. Our results showed that these common local methods for treatment of water slightly reduced the microbial, chemical and physical contamination of water.
- ItemImmunoexpression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor among Sudanese Patients with Bladder Cancer(International Journal of Academic Health and Medical Research, 2021-09) Changjowk Peter Lai AKER; Mohammed Abdelgader Elsheikh MOHAMMED; Elsadig Ahmed ADAM; Alkhair Abd Almahmoud IdrisVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a signaling protein which is important for formation of the circulatory system and growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. Cancers that can express VEGF are able to grow and metastasize, because many solid cancers require an adequate blood supply to grow beyond the limited size. Aim: To determine the Immunoexpression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor among Sudanese Patients with Bladder Cancer. METHODOLOGY: This was an analytical cross-sectional study, included forty patients with (TCC); study patients from different Histopathology laboratories in Khartoum state- Sudan, VEGF was detected by using IHC method. RESULTS: VEGF immunoexpression was reported positive in 20 out of 40 patients (50%), the study conducted that; there was an association of VEGF immunoexpression and higher tumor grade of (TCC) as the frequency of VEGF expression was 16 out of 27 patients (59.2%) with high grade, while the frequency of VEGF expression was 4 out of 13 patients of low grade (30.8%) P value = 0.010. CONCLUSSION: according to obtained results we concluded that; the, there was a significant association between VEGF and bad prognosis of (TCC).
