Leishmaniasis is still a complex disease of (sub) tropical regions of the world caused by Leishmania spp. Antimonial pentostam is an anti-leishmaniasis drug used medically and it is the primary drug employed against leishmaniasis in Libya. It has multiple acute and chronic adverse effects which can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose. This work aimed to investigate the histological changes in the liver and kidneys affected by different doses of pentostam. Adult male of BALB/c wild mice was divided into four groups, 6 mice of each, and i.p. injected with 10mg/kg, 20mg/kg, and 40mg/kg pentostam in addition to a control group. After 28 therapeutic days and finishing the histological procedure to examine the collected tissue specimens, the obtained results of the liver tissue ranged from demonstrating cytoplasmic vacuoles, to hydropic degeneration, focal and hepatocytic necrosis, and lastly irregular area of hepatocytes with condensed pyknotic nuclei (hepatocyte necrosis). As well, the histological examination of kidney tissue ranged between demonstrating mild cloudy swelling (reversible hydropic degeneration), showed stromal aggregates of inflammatory cells (nephritis), and lastly showed renal tubule casts and necrosis. In a final conclusion, there are clear histological changes in the liver and kidneys, which had been seen in this study, which are dose-dependent changes.

Introduction: Water affects IL-10 levels in the body. Many people do not understand that water is very important and needed by the body for influencing IL-10 levels. The purpose of writing this paper is to be able to understand the importance of water for the body on IL-10 levels in order to avoid various conditions that interfere with health. Method: Review study. Results: The simplest but most important source of nutrients is water. The water content in the body is about 60-70%, and a loss of about 10% of the water will cause death. Water balance is obtained through food, drink, and the body's metabolic processes. Various components of food and beverages consumed such as coffee drinks, vegetable soups/fruit juices contain water and affect IL-10 levels in the body. Likewise, the water content in bath water and various other daily activities affect IL-10 levels in the body. Discussion: Vegetables, even drinks such as coffee contain water so that they can fulfill the body's health functions, both for skin health, all body organs and body tissues and cells, as well as for metabolic functions and avoiding dehydration conditions. The water content in the food we drink and the water we use greatly affects the condition of the body so that it also affects the body's immune response. This is related to the presence of IL-10 levels where the increase and decrease in IL-10 levels are strongly influenced by the components of the food or drink contained in the water or the water content contained in the food and drink. In fact, bathwater containing sulfur also affects IL-10 levels. So water plays an important role in IL-10 levels in the body. Conclusions: Body health is influenced by water and water also affect IL-10 levels in the body so that it is beneficial for body health related to the immune system.

Resistance of malaria vectors to synthetic chemicals with high operational cost and environmental pollution has been a great challenge to scientists. Alternative approaches such as the use of natural plant products which are environmentally friendly are put in place to control malaria vectors. This study was focused on testing the effectiveness of three solvent extracts of Lantana camara on the 3rd instar larvae and adults of Anopheles gambiae s. l. These extracts were obtained by maceration. Bioassays test were carried out by WHO’s method for determination of larvicidal and adulticidal efficacy. The results show that, larval mortality increased significantly with the concentration and exposure time. Lethal concentrations 50 (LC50) and 95 (LC95) after 24 hours of larvae exposure time are respectively 0.31 g/mL and 1.53 g/mL while within 48 h they are 0.27 g/mL and 0.79 g/mL for hexane extract; 1.45 g/mL and 2.0 g/mL (24 h exposure), 0.84 g/mL and 1.55 g/mL (48 h exposure) for acetone extract; 1.96 g/mL and no lethal concentration causing 95% mortality was determined; 0.40 g/mL and 2.20 g/mL (48 h) for aqueous extract. The efficacy of hexane and aqueous extract on the adult knock down and mortality were not significant even with the increasing extract concentrations and exposure time whereas with acetone extract, the adult LC50 after 24 h was 2.4 g/mL but with 95% mortality lethal concentration was not determined. According to the results, hexane extract showed high larvicidal efficacy of An. gambiae and acetone extract showed significant adult mortality. Those two extracts of L. camara can be used to fight against An. gambiae as alternative malaria vector control to replace conventional insecticides.

The study aimed to find out the factors that cause fetal death in the womb in governmental hospitals in Gaza Strip a controlled study during the period 2018-2019. The study problem was formulated in the following main question: What were the most important factors causing childhood deaths in the womb? The study used descriptive and analytical methods. the study sample was (70) women and (70) controls. For each case, one control was matched. The study found that the average age of cases was (29.60) years compared to (27.1) for controls. The most common maternal risk factors for fetal intrauterine death were parity (24.3%) among cases versus (21.4%) among controls. Medication/substance, congenital anomalies of the fetus, bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy, prolonged pregnancy after birth, and intrauterine growth retardation are the main risk factors. The study recommended conducting a continuing education program for women and nurses about risk factors for fetal death in the womb.

A visible posterior fat pad on the lateral view of the elbow is a sign of occult intraarticular pathology. Early elbow ROM is needed to prevent stiffness. If you fixed the fracture, but not well enough to move the elbow, you did not fix it. The “safe zone” for placing hardware on the radial head lies in the interval between the radial styloid and Lister’s tubercle. Examine the wrist when examining all elbow injuries; a radial head fracture may be accompanied by a tear of the interosseous membrane and disruption of the distal radioulnar joint. The posterior interosseous nerve (controlling finger and wrist extension) can be damaged by a radial head injury or by the surgery performed to treat the fracture. Therefore, document functional status preoperatively. The severity of these injuries runs the gamut from minimally displaced fractures needing minimal treatment to those with major displacement or comminution, requiring surgical fixation, excision, or replacement.

Background: Vitamin D (VitD) plays a significant role in human health, survival, and fertility. It is necessary for calcium absorption and bone growth and the regulation of the immune system. This study aims to determine the prevalence of VitD deficiency and the factors affecting it in women working in the campus of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences, Gonabad City, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, 70 women working on the campus of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences in 2019 were selected by the census method. After obtaining their consent forms, the researcher-made checklist was completed by the participants. The serum levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH D3) were the index for measuring VitD. The significance level is set below 0.05. Results: The Mean±SD level of VitD in the research units was 13.67±22.5 ng/mL. About 12.85% of the samples had severe deficiency (less than 10 ng/mL), 32.85% had moderate deficiency (10-20 ng/mL) and 31.42% had mild deficiency (20-30 ng/mL). The prevalence of VitD deficiency was lower in people with a history of physical activity, and those with a history of taking supplements. Also, the highest VitD deficiency was observed in the age group of older than 40 years.

It is necessary for calcium absorption and bone growth and the regulation of the immune system. This study aims to determine the prevalence of VitD deficiency and the factors affecting it in women working in the campus of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences, Gonabad City, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, 70 women working on the campus of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences in 2019 were selected by the census method. After obtaining their consent forms, the researcher-made checklist was completed by the participants. The serum levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH D3) were the index for measuring VitD. The significance level is set below 0.05. Results: The Mean±SD level of VitD in the research units was 13.67±22.5 ng/mL. About 12.85% of the samples had severe deficiency (less than 10 ng/mL), 32.85% had moderate deficiency (10-20 ng/mL) and 31.42% had mild deficiency (20-30 ng/mL). The prevalence of VitD deficiency was lower in people with a history of physical activity, and those with a history of taking supplements. Also, the highest VitD deficiency was observed in the age group of older than 40 years.
