    ‘Obligatory’ is one of the greatest and most honourable sciences. It is Allah almighty who has ensured his status where he imposed the inheritances detailed by his great wisdom and divided among his people with his vast mercy. The Prophet's Sunnah then explained the provisions of the inheritances by the concerted news and the famous relics. This knowledge was disseminated among the Sahaba, and those who followed them are jurists. As with all other sections of jurisprudence, and they have made great efforts in understanding and explaining the rules of inheritance, scrutinizing its titles and scrutinizing its issues to the point where they do not aspire to more. Al-Asfia school in Fallujah has been following this approach since the beginning of its founding, teaching this science, and adopting the curricula received by scholars and aligned away from extremism, including the Book of Rahbia of imam Abu Abdullah Mohammed bin Ali bin Mohammed bin Mohammed bin Al-Hassan al-Rahbi, who died in 577H. We wanted to examine this book and consider the way it was taught. Keywords: The curriculum of the teaching of Al-Asfiaih school

    Road traffic jams, roads construction works, maintenance activities, traffic incidents and other unplanned events represent a major concern in almost all countries that can result in considerable delays, higher fuel consumption, higher cost expenses and many other indirect effects which ultimately require immediate attention to alleviate such concerns that can influence the users. This was a motivation to combine mobile applications with traffic load analysis and develop an application that assists in giving drivers an access to traffic information, mainly road works and incidents, to help them better plan their daily journeys across the city. With this Mobile Application for the SAfety on Roads (MASAR), drivers can now stay in touch with latest information and traffic updates on the move in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. MASAR is dedicated to making drivers journey as safe and reliable as possible. Where delays occur, MASAR wants to make sure that you can access information quickly and easily. Furthermore, drivers can now take advantage of free travel news through MASAR. The current version of the application allows drivers to check how the traffic is flowing on highways and roads in Abu Dhabi before they begin their journey. The app only provides information for roads that are managed within Abu Dhabi, which are detailed within Abu Dhabi Network Maps. The travel information covers unplanned incidents such as accidents and congestion, plus lane closures and other restrictions due to improvement works. As future enhancements, the team is planning to covers all United Arab Emirates roads and makes the application compatible with almost all mobile phone platforms. © IFAC

    ABSTRACT This study is a case control hospital base study conducted from July 2012 to April 2013 to assess the effect of chemotherapy doses on nutritional status of 276 female who diagnosed with breast cancer attending Radiation and Isotopes Center Khartoum (RICK) has been selected randomly to participate in this study. The main objective of the study was to assess the effect of chemotherapy on nutritional status of breast cancer patients. Data collected by using questionnaire and 24-hour food recall were filed through interviews with respondents. The collected data were analyzed using computerized methods of analysis (SPSS and Nutri-sarvey). The results revealed that, among case group the majority of women ages above 50 and more, and most of them lived in Khartoum state compared with control group, the majority of women is ages are between 30-40 and 40-50years old and most of them live in Khartoum state as the cases group, .BMI among control group compared with BMI of women received chemotherapy (case group), as follows: about 43.5% Vs 54.3%of women had normal body weight (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m²). 27.9 %vs 23.2% were overweight (BMI= 25-29.9 kg/m²) and 14.9 % vs 6.9% were obese class I (30-34.9kg/m²) , 3.3 % vs 15.6% were under weight (BMI=<18.5 kg/m²), only 7.3% of control group were obese class II (35-39.9 kg/m ). 24 hours recall demonstrated that energy intake among respondents cases compared with respondents control were lower than the recommended daily allowances (RDA).The intake of fat and cholesterol were lower than the recommended daily allowances (RDA) among both (case and control group) while fiber intake among control group was more than recommended daily allowances compared with lower intake of respondent cases. The intake of Carbohydrates and protein among cases and control group in the present study were more than the RDA and at the same time the intake of fiber among cases was lower than the RDA compared with control group which was more than RDA. The intake of vitamins (A, E, C) zinc and folic acid among women both of case and control group in the present study was less than RDA.The intake of mineral (Sodium, calcium and magnesium) among both cases and control group was less than RDA. Also the intake of potassium was less than RDA among cases compared with control group which their intake was more than RDA, while the phosphorus intake and iron intake was more than RDA among both case and control group .The intake of B vitamins (B1, B2 and B6) among the respondents cases and control in the present study was less than the RDA. Hemoglobin level among 83% of respondents cases within the normal range (10.4-15.6g/dl )and 13.4% were anemic (<10. 4g/dl ).Significant association was found between energy intake(P=0.001), carbohydrate intake(P=0.041) zinc intake(P=0.027)and magnesium intake (P=0.002) with chemotherapy dose among cases group, On the other hand, no significant correlation were detected between intake of fat (P=0.911), cholesterol (P= 0.781) , proteins intake (p= 0.336), sodium, intake (P= 0.789), potassium intake (P= 0.468), calcium intake (P=0.684), iron intake (P=0.632), and BMI (P=0.609) , Hemoglobin level (P= 0.437) with chemotherapy doses among the respondents cases. The study recommended that, all breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy should have nutritional assessment from the beginning of the treatment. Nutrition education is needed among Sudanese populations regarding the breast cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy

    Comparative efficacy and safety among high-intensity statins. Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    Get PDF
    Aim: To summarize the evidence in terms of efficacy and safety of head-to-head studies of high-intensity statins regardless of the underlying population. Materials & methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to summarize the effect sizes in randomized controlled trials and cohort studies that compared high-intensity statins. Results: Based on 44 articles, similar effectiveness was observed across the statins in reducing LDL levels from baseline. All statins were observed to have similar adverse drug reactions (ADRs), although higher dosages were associated with more ADRs. Based on a pooled quantitative analysis of atorvastatin 80 mg versus rosuvastatin 40 mg, rosuvastatin was statistically more effective in reducing LDL. Conclusion: This review further confirms that high-intensity statins reduce LDL by ≥50%, favoring rosuvastatin over atorvastatin. Additional data are needed to confirm the clinical significance on cardiovascular outcomes using real-world studies

    AbstractBackgroundTo investigate the rate of all cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) compared to those without PAD.Methods and resultsAll the subjects were inpatients at high risk of atherosclerosis and enrolled from February to November, 2006. A total of 320 were followed up until an end-point (death) was reached or until February 2010. The mean follow-up time was 37.7±1.5months. Compared with non-PAD, PAD patients had significantly higher rates of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking (P<0.01). Those with symptomatic and asymptomatic PAD had a much higher all cause (37.5% and 23.0% vs. 12.1%) and cardiovascular mortality (18.8% and 13.8% vs. 6.7%) compared to those without PAD (P<0.001). The symptomatic PAD patients were 1.831 times (95% CI: 1.222–2.741) as likely to die as those without PAD, and 1.646 times (95% CI: 1.301–2.083) in asymptomatic PAD patients after adjusting for other factors. Those with symptomatic or asymptomatic PAD were more than twice as likely to die of CVD as those without PAD (RR: 2.248, 95% CI: 1.366–3.698 and RR: 2.105, 95% CI: 1.566–2.831, respectively).ConclusionsPAD was associated with a higher all cause and cardiovascular mortality whether or not PAD is symptomatic

    The Burden of Mental Disorders in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 1990-2013

    Charara R, Forouzanfar M, Naghavi M, et al. The Burden of Mental Disorders in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 1990-2013. PLOS ONE. 2017;12(1): e0169575.The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is witnessing an increase in chronic disorders, including mental illness. With ongoing unrest, this is expected to rise. This is the first study to quantify the burden of mental disorders in the EMR. We used data from the Global Burden of Disease study (GBD) 2013. DALYs (disability-adjusted life years) allow assessment of both premature mortality (years of life lost-YLLs) and nonfatal outcomes (years lived with disability-YLDs). DALYs are computed by adding YLLs and YLDs for each age-sex-country group. In 2013, mental disorders contributed to 5.6% of the total disease burden in the EMR (1894 DALYS/100,000 population): 2519 DALYS/100,000 (2590/100,000 males, 2426/100,000 females) in high-income countries, 1884 DALYS/100,000 (1618/100,000 males, 2157/100,000 females) in middle-income countries, 1607 DALYS/100,000 (1500/100,000 males, 1717/100,000 females) in low-income countries. Females had a greater proportion of burden due to mental disorders than did males of equivalent ages, except for those under 15 years of age. The highest proportion of DALYs occurred in the 25-49 age group, with a peak in the 35-39 years age group (5344 DALYs/100,000). The burden of mental disorders in EMR increased from 1726 DALYs/100,000 in 1990 to 1912 DALYs/100,000 in 2013 (10.8% increase). Within the mental disorders group in EMR, depressive disorders accounted for most DALYs, followed by anxiety disorders. Among EMR countries, Palestine had the largest burden of mental disorders. Nearly all EMR countries had a higher mental disorder burden compared to the global level. Our findings call for EMR ministries of health to increase provision of mental health services and to address the stigma of mental illness. Moreover, our results showing the accelerating burden of mental health are alarming as the region is seeing an increased level of instability. Indeed, mental health problems, if not properly addressed, will lead to an increased burden of diseases in the region
