Station (Kom Osheem) during 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 seasons to study the effect of tillage operations (number of ploughing) and irrigation at different levels of available soil moisture (ASMD), on yield, its components and some water relations of wheat crop (Giza 168 cv). Three tillage operations, i.e., reduced till. 1, plouphing once to 20 cm depth (T 1), reduced till. 2, plouphing twice to 20 cm depth (T 2) and conventional till., (T 3) were combined with three irrigation regimes, i.e., irrigation at 35% ASMD (I 1), at 55% ASMD (I 2) and at 75% ASMD (I 3), in a split-plot design with four replications. The main results obtained were as follows:-Conventional tillage (T 3) and irrigation at 35% ASMD gave the highest averages of plant height, spike number/ m 2 , 1000-grain weight, grain yield/fed. and straw yield/fed. in both seasons. The lowest averages of yield and its components were obtained from using reduced till-1 (T 1) and irrigation at 75 % ASMD (I 3) in both seasons.-Increasing tillage operation from T 1 to T 3 significantly increased grain and straw yields/fed. and yield components in both seasons. However, increasing the ASMD significantly decreased the yield and its components.-Seasonal consumptive use (ETc) averaged 39.24 and 41.44 cm in 2002 /2003 and 2003/2004 seasons, respectively. Increasing tillage from T 1 to T 3 and decreasing the ASMD from 75% to 35% ASMD increased the seasonal ETc from 33.78 and 36.66 cm to 44.52 and 46.76 in the two successive seasons.-Monthly ETc rate increased gradually from Nov., to reach its maximum values during Mar. and April. Then declined till harvesting. The crop coefficient (Kc) as an average of the two seasons during the growing season duration from Nov., to May were 0.53, 0.74, 0.87, 0.91, 0.99, 0.60 and 0.41, respectively.-The highest water use efficiency values were 1.010 and 0.891Kg grains / m 3 water consumed, resulted from using conventional tillage and irrigation at 35% ASMD in both seasons.

Adaptation should be approached as an opportunity to rethink development as usual, and should be based on “upstream ” interventions that will yield benefits regardless of specific, climate-related events in the future. This policy brief examines win-win strategies for development and adaptation in three key sectors—namely, ecosystems and natural resources, food and agriculture, and health—and focuses on interventions that will be valuable regardless of the uncertainties we face in determining precise climate change impacts.

Willemse, SPE, O. Mostafa, M. El-Ashry, I. Abdallah, and A.A. Sattar, Bapetco, and A. Waheed, SPE, and B. Conrad, Halliburton, prepared for the 2005 SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing Conference and Exhibition, The Woodlands, Texas, 12-13 April. Achieving effective stimulation across zones not readily accessible is a common challenge in the oil field. The full-length paper presents a case history in which a sandstone reservoir not previously matrix acidized was producing at low rates and eventually died. The zones were completed between straddle packers and were accessible only through a sliding side door (SSD) 100 ft above the perforations. A true fluidic oscillator (TFO) was included as a stimulation tool. This tool provides a continuous pressure pulse that causes solids buildup in the perforations to f...

This study reports the initial experience of the Kuwaiti deformity correction unit in utilizing the PRECICE system. Methods: Ten patients (four females and six males) were included in this study. All cases were operated using the PRECICE nail system (five antegrade femoral nails, three retrograde femoral nails, and two tibial nails). All surgeries were performed during January 2019 to February 2020. Results: The mean age of participants was 20 years (12–33 years), with a 21.6 kg/m2 mean body mass index (17–28). LLD etiologies (mean LLD = 39 mm) were congenital (n = 2), developmental (n = 2), post-traumatic non-union (n = 1), post-traumatic malunion (n = 1), post-traumatic physeal arrest (n = 1), and post-deformity correction and lengthening of the contralateral side with circul...

With the adavance in the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, the median survival has shown substantial improvement. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel and carboplatin followed by chemo-radiotherapy in locally advanced NSCLC. Methods: A total of 30 patients (25 males and 5 females) aged between 49–60 years (mean age 51 years) with NSCLC stage III A (10 pts) stage III B (20 pts) were enrolled in the study. Patients received docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV plus carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1 every 21 days for 4 cycles in combination with G-CSF. Patients then received radiotherapy (RT) at a dose 40-45 Gy depending on patients' tolerability combined with a low dose of carboplatin AUC 2 on the 1st day of each week during RT. Patients underwent CT chest and bronchoscopy...

Androgen dependent prostate carcinoma responds poorly to chemotherapy. Recent protocols using vinorelbine, mitoxantrone and docetaxel have significantly improved response rate, survival and pain control for those patients. The study aims to compare the therapeutic benefit of the use of vinorelbine versus docetaxel both plus prednisone in patients with mHRPC. Methods: Sixty pts (50% gpA, 50% gpB) were enrolled between Mar 2005 and Sep 2007. All patients had histologically confirmed prostatic adencarcinoma with evidence of metastatic disease and progression on hormonal therapy. WHO PS O-2, adequate marrow, liver and renal functions. Patients were randomized to gpA; Vinorellrine (V) IV 30mg/m2 d1 and 8, or gpB; Docetaxe (D) IV 75mg/m2 d1. All patients received 5mg of prednisone orally twice daily for 5 days start...

Methods: In the present study 26 cases of urinary bladder cancer and 26 cases of normal tissues far from tumor sites in the urinary bladder of the same patients (as control samples) were collected, also 10 paraffin-embedded tissue samples from consecutive of archival bladder specimens patients and 10 tissue samples that of healthy tissue from the same individual as control group were collected for immunohistochemical detection of survivin protein and real time PCR for survivin mRNA detection. Results: In normal tissues of control samples no expression for survivin gene has been noticed. However, in patients affected with bladder cancer the survivin expression was highly increased by increasing degree of tumor malignancy as indicated by real time PCR for survivin mRNA and immunohistochemistry for survivin protein. Conclusion: From this study, it is concluded that survivin protein was not expressed in normal bladder urothelium but was present in a high percentage in tissue samples of patients suffering from bladder cancer and its expression is associated with disease recurrence, tumor grade, progression and mortality.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a phosphorylated glycoprotein which is implicated in enhancing invasive and metastatic progression of many tumors. Midkine (MDK) is a 13-kDa small heparin-binding growth factor which plays a significant role in carcinogenesis related activities. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of serum Midkine and Osteopontin levels as diagnostic biomarkers of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
