Abstract: Currently the most common chronic liver condition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health concern. Despite its rising global incidence, epidemiological data regarding NAFLD prevalence in Libya remain scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed t…
Abstract: It might be difficult to diagnose acute pulmonary embolism (APE) in a timely manner since it is a potentially lethal illness. The preferred modality is now computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), which adds to the growing strain on CT scanners in emergency roo…
Abstract: Ultrasound (US) is the preferred first-line imaging modality for diagnosing in acute appendicitis. The published sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography are higher than the results observed by clinicians in everyday practice. The aim of this study was to elucidat…
الملخص: هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على علاقة الرقابة الداخلية بأبعادها (بيئة الرقابة، تقييم الرقابة، أنشطة الرقابة، المراقبة والمتابعة) في الحد من مخاطر المالية من وجهة نظر متخذي القرارات في المصارف الليبية بفروع مصرف الوحدة في مدينة بنغازي. ولتحقيق هدف الدراسة أتبع الباحث المنهج ال…
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a condition marked by insufficient regulation of blood glucose levels. It includes various subtypes such as type 1, type 2, maturity-onset diabetes of the young, gestational diabetes, neonatal diabetes, and steroid-induced diabetes. The purpose of the st…
Viral hepatitis is a global health care challenge due to its worldwide distribution, chronic persistence, complications, and high prevalence with unchecked conditions in areas like sub-Saharan Africa. A high proportion of asymptomatic infections allows serious complications and p…
Atherosclerotic plaque is one of the arterial diseases which builds up in the arterial wall and can be identified by the composition of the plaque. Atherosclerosis causes the narrowing or occlusions of the arterial lumen leading to cardiovascular event. Percutaneous (keyhole) end…
Background Viral hepatitis has become a universally established health care challenge due to its worldwide distribution chronic persistence, complications, and high prevalence with unchecked conditions in areas like sub-Saharan Africa. A high proportion of asymptomatic infection…
background Hepatitis B and C virus infections are serious blood borne diseases with global health concern particularly in developing countries. The association between survey participant’s knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) about HBV and HCV infection is rarely studied, pa…
Carotid plaque composition is a key factor of plaque stability and it carries a significant prognostic information. The carotid unstable plaques are characterized by thin fibrous cap ≤65μm with large lipid core (LC) while stable plaques have thicker fibrous cap and less LC. Ident…
Carotid plaque composition is a key factor of plaque stability and it carries significant prognostic information. The carotid unstable plaques are characterized by a thin fibrous cap (FC)≤ 65 μ m with large lipid core (LC), while stable plaques have a thicker FC and less LC. Iden…
A detailed investigation was conducted into the application of an isothermal nucleic acid amplification procedure, LAMP, in conjunction with components of conventional procedure to determine ability to simplify water processing for monitoring Cryptosporidium and Giardia in surfac…
Increasing Si concentrations in the EuCu2 (Ge1−xSix )2 series tunes the divalent Eu antiferromagnetic (AF) compound EuCu2Ge2 (TN = 14 K) to a nonmagnetic intermediate valence (IV) system EuCu2Si2. There is a collapse of the magnetic state and heavy quasiparticles occur at x ∼ 0.7…
Pressurizing strategically selected compositions of the EuCu2(Ge1−xSix )2 series affords an opportunity for gaining microscopic insight into the ground-state properties and interplay between magnetism and valence fluctuations across a quantum critical point. This is investigated…
Abstract. An Environmental Management System (EMS) was introduced to meet the environmental needs and an organization should have an understanding of what those environmental needs are. In a construction industry, the awareness about the environment performance is improving and t…
Background: Raw (fresh) vegetables as part of a healthy diet is an important key to help boost immune health. However, they could also have a negative impact on humans. Vegetables, especially those that are consumed raw and not properly washed, have been the major way for the tra…
Background Giardia and Cryptosporidium are common parasitic diarrhea agents of children contributing to childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Major risk factors, based on the international literature, are expected to include domestic animals, fresh vegetable…
The rupturing of unstable plaques, formed by atherosclerosis, is the main factor contributing to the stroke event. According to stroke association in 2017, the stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the UK. The percentage of plaque composition plays an important role for…
Internet of things (IoT) is considered to revolutionize the way internet works and bring together the concepts such as machine to machine (M2M) communication, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. to work under a same umbrella such that cyber space and human (physical systems)…
Due to the scarce energy supplies of the internet of things (IoT) devices, it is necessary to design the architecture and operation of the network to optimize the power usage. Scheduling algorithm is an essential part of WSNs and IoT networks. Such algorithms allow to classify th…
