OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the values of peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and blood flow in normal internal carotid arteries (ICA) together with the percentage of stenosis (for diameter and area), and vascular stenosis index (VSI) in stenotic ICA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen male and 16 female adult patients aged between 50-71 with atherosclerotic plaques with different thicknesses in the internal carotid arteries, and together with 20 normal adult males and 20 females aged between 25 and 45 years were included in this work. The values of PSV, EDV, RI, PI, and blood flow volume of normal ICA were measured. Stenosis percentages and VSI values were obtained in the narrowed vessels due to atherosclerotic plaques. All parameters were shown as mean ± SD. For the statistical analysis, Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 15.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) software was used. RESULTS We have shown the data together in Table 2,3 without discriminating between gender and right left side. The normal lumen diameter of the ICA, the diameter of the stenotic lumen, the percentage of stenosis for diameter, normal lumen area, stenotic lumen area, the percentage of stenosis for the area, and VSI values were shown in Table 3. CONCLUSION We believe that this data can be useful in evaluating cerebral hemodynamics in healthy and sick people because we cannot find any study on VSI in ICA stenosis in the literature

Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act has given a detailed statement admitting that the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive Biological Warfare Weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knows about it. Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, that was approved unanimously by both Houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.

The present study ofCassia obtusifolia leaves (Kawal) were obtained from Darfur region western Sudan ( Kutum, Jineena and Zalingie). The objective of this study is to isolate bacteria from different samples of dried fermented cassia obtusifolia leaves (kawal) and to identify bacteria by using different biochemical tests,which is present in natural environment and fermented traditionally as survival, the study was carried out in Khartoum state-Sudan , during February 2019 to September 2019, the samples were collected from three area (Kutum, Jineena and Zalingie ) . The traditional method for fermentation was used and the bacteria were isolated by using nutrient agar. The biochemical tests were used to determine type of bacteria and the results were cited positive with catalase, citrate, urease, motility tests, while gas and indol were showed negative result, the microorganisms were examined ,.The sugar fermentation tests for bacteria were recorded positive with glucose, sucrose, mannitol tests, while it showed negative at lactose sugar . The results revealed that all the samples were positive in nutrient agar media and the isolation of microorganisms were showed that ,thebacillusubtilis bacteria is only microorganism that was determined in the fermented kawalleave.

This study was carried out in Khartoum State-Sudan, during October (2019). The species Chamaecyparis obtusa (Crippsii) belong to family Cupressaceae , locally known as (Shagarat Bakhor Alanfar) was chosen because it's using traditionally in treatment of many abdominal disease. Phytochemical activities were investigated to detect the effects of antimicrobial and antioxidant; this plant was collected from Gabal maraha , South Darfur State, western Sudan. The dried fruits of Chamaecyparis Obtusa was extracted successively with (ethanol), The phytochemical screening carried out on ethanolic extract of species fruits and showed as table: (1) , that there were secondary metabolize ( alkaloids ,flavonoids, sterol, tannins , triturpenes ,cardiac glycoside, phenol and absent of saponnins). The antimicrobial activity of extract were evaluated against two standard bacteria (Gram positive; Staphylococcus aureus) and (Gram negative; Escherichia coli,), the results of antimicrobial activities of extract at different concentrations and inhibition zone were measured in (mm) table (2) the range of inhibition was found between 15-22mm .Antioxidant was tested and The result of it cited that there is high antioxidant activity in the extraction table (3).

Sex-Object vs. Love-Object: Alike or Unalike

Saeed Shoja Shafti — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000

During counseling or psychotherapeutic sessions, there are a lot of persons that introduce their partner as their absolute sweetheart and companion, while criticize them, as well, regarding their incompetence with respect to gratification or provision of anticipated sexual or romantic desires. Many of them may describe their partner as asexual, hypoactive or dishonest, while their own displeasure or jealousness may have root in a mismatch between sensual yearnings and spiritual longings. Now a question may arise that whether sex-object is equal to love-object, or they are unalike things with different intentions and tasks. Developmentally, while the sex-object may or may not be at the same time a love-object, the love-object can not be anything except than an ultimate item derived from sex-drive, though in a more sublimated shape. If we see sex-object and love-object as unalike items with diverse goal lines, such a distinction may assist patients toward achievement of better insight with respect to their judgments, object-related conflicts and ambivalences, which possibly will guide their expectations towards more realistic objectives and less bewilderment as regards their constant displeasures.
