    Goals: Determine of barcode of DNA in green tiger prawn, Penaeus semisulcatus, in the Gen bank of the species. Material and methods: In these study 30 specimens of Penaeus semisulcatus from each region in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman were sampled and preserved in ethanol 96%. The total DNA was extracted, COI gene was first amplified and then sequenced for each species. Finally the collected data were analyzed with the specific phylogenetic software. Result and discussion: Molecular analysis revealed some degree of interpopulation differences within two areas. Also for population study molecular data of species Penaeus semisulcatus were analysed base on COI RFLP and 16SrRNA sequences respectively. The results indicated that COI gen is a good marker for shrimp species differentiation that would be helpful to protect shrimp species

    Sivan Zuarez-Easton,1 Noah Zafran,1,2 Gali Garmi,1,2 Raed Salim1,2 1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Emek Medical Center, Afula, 2Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel Abstract: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications following cesarean section, and has an incidence of 3%–15%. It places physical and emotional burdens on the mother herself and a significant financial burden on the health care system. Moreover, SSI is associated with a maternal mortality rate of up to 3%. With the global increase in cesarean section rate, it is expected that the occurrence of SSI will increase in parallel, hence its clinical significance. Given its substantial implications, recognizing the consequences and developing strategies to diagnose, prevent, and treat SSI are essential for reducing postcesarean morbidity and mortality. Optimization of maternal comorbidities, appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis, and evidence-based surgical techniques are some of the practices proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of SSI. In this review, we describe the biological mechanism of SSI and risk factors for its occurrence and summarize recent key clinical trials investigating preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative practices to reduce SSI incidence. It is prudent that the surgical team who perform cesarean sections be familiar with these practices and apply them as needed to minimize maternal morbidity and mortality related to SSI.
