This research work aims to analyze part of the electron beam data produced by the Elekta Synergy Platform Linac at the radiotherapy department at Tripoli University Hospital, Tripoli, Libya. In this paper, percentage depth dose (PDD), beam profile and applicators factor were studied at five different electron beam energies (4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 MeV). The relative measurement part of this study was carried out using a PTW MP3-M 3D water scanning system, and the absolute measurement was taken using a plane parallel ionization chamber and a unidose E electrometer. The analysis for these measurements has yielded the following results: a) The Penetrative qualities of all the electron beam energies were within the manufacturer's tolerance limits of ±1%; b) the maximum values of beam flatness of 2.94 and beam symmetry of 1.93 are within the accepted limits of International Electrotechnical Commission criteria; c) A penumbra maximum value of 1.30 was measured at the 4-MeV electron beam energy and using a 14×14 cm2 applicator size. All the obtained parameters were within the permissible limits. Therefore, the electron beams can be safely used for clinical purposes.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023-12-31 Description An account of the resource Medical errors negatively affect patients in the first place, medical service providers as well as health organizations in terms of quality. The main purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of medical errors in terms of causes, departments with the highest incidence of them, the most blame for their occurring, and strategies to prevent medical errors from occurring from the perspective of doctors in Benghazi Medical Centre. A cross-sectional design was chosen to conduct this study, and data was collected from doctors working at Benghazi Medical Center. 281 sample random samples were selected at random. The Epi Info tool calculated the sample size with a 95% confidence interval, and the response rate was 100%. The instrument of data collection was a self-administration questionnaire. (SPSS version 22) was used to analyze the collected data. The results show that the most common errors occurred in the emergency room (66. 9%).In addition, it has been found that one of the most important factors that contribute to the occurrence of medical errors was the lack of necessary resources for some tasks (566%).45.6% of doctors blamed the administration and (57.7) seminars and workshops was the best solution to solve the medical errors issue. Results appears that a lack of required resources was generally the main reason for medical errors. Additionally, the emergency room is a typical location for medical errors to occur. Through workshops and seminars, doctors determined the best way to stop medical errors. Additionally, the study participants attributed the occurrence of medical errors to the administration in their respective departments.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023-12-31 Description An account of the resource The PI3K pathway plays a crucial role in the development of various types of cancers. Specifically, the P110 α component is frequently modified in the formation of human cancer, leading to disruptions in cell growth regulation and the emergence of malignancies. This research paper delves into the increasing utilization of computational tools to forecast potential molecules capable of inhibiting cancer. To validate stable structures of PI3K (P110α) component protein models, the study employed Ramachandran map analysis, which revealed active regions in close proximity to the mutation site. Through the employment of PyRX software, molecular docking studies were conducted, resulting in the identification of four inhibitor derivatives that exhibited significant effectiveness with the lowest docking energies in preventing the mutated PI3K (P110 α) component protein structures. Furthermore, these inhibitors adhered to Lipinski's rule of five, further enhancing their potential.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023-12-31 Description An account of the resource A total of 200 samples of domestic bird droppings were collected from 54 regions in Erbil Governorate and its suburbs, and 23 of the isolates were fungi obtained by using the Niger bird seed medium and Sabouraud dextrose agar medium. The fungal genera were identified through macroscopic, microscopic, and phenotypic properties on agar plates and slides by staining with Lactophenol cotton blue stain. Findings belong to nine genera (Aspergillus, Alternaria, Chrysosporium, Cunninghamella, Helminthosporium, Mucor, Penicillium, Rhizomucor, and Rhizopus). Among the isolates, six species belonging to Aspergillus were identified which also had the highest frequency (44.4 %) in total genera, while the lowest frequency was (0.1 %) for Alternaria sp., Chrysosporium sp., Cunninghamella sp. Results reveal that 17 sites' samples of bird droppings produced negative results when tested on Niger bird seed agar, while only two locations produced no results when tested on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Thus, Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) is thought to be better than Niger bird seed agar (NBSA) for isolating fungi since it is considered a generally rich media for them.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023-12-31 Description An account of the resource Evaluation of hearing is essential in the diagnostic process of children suspected having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study was to examine the efficiency and feasibility of utilizing otoacoustic emissions as an objective test to assess hearing in children diagnosed with ASD. A pilot study was conducted over a period of 3 years (from September 2019 to November 2022) in the Audiology Department at the Center for Specialty Surgeries, Benghazi, Libya. A total of 61 children with autism aged between 2-15 years referred for hearing evaluation were enrolled in the study. The clinical procedure consisted of otoscopic ear examination, and Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) recording. OAE testing was attempted on the study sample (n 51) who met the inclusion criteria. And successfully completed for 44 participants (86%): 40 cases (91%) from the first attempt while 4 cases (9%) needed a second or more visit. Four autistic children (9%) had absent otoacoustic emissions in one ear. Testing couldn't be completed for 7 children (14%) due to behavioral difficulties. Results of this study showed the feasibility of using Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) in assessment of hearing for children with autism for whom obtaining reliable behavioral responses can be challenging.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023-12-31 Description An account of the resource assisted reproduction technology (ART) is up-trending, therefore number of babies born by ART is increasing. ART may influence the secondary sex ratio (SSR) compared to natural conception. to evaluate the effect of ART on SSR. a pilot retrospective medical records review study was conducted on 201 live-birth babies born to couples attended Albayda Fertility Centre. 97 babies were born by ART procedures [intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)] and the remaining were born by non-ART (medical treatment or post-hysteroscopy). The overall SSR was 46%, SSR for non-ART babies was (54.8%) higher than that for the ART offspring (47.4%), however, the difference was non-significant. More girls were born as a result of ICSI (SSR= 43.7%). In contrast, more males were born following IUI (SSR=47.7%) but the difference was insignificant. Regarding the stage of embryo transfer (ET) in babies born by ICSI, a higher but a non-significant difference (Fisher’s Exact test = 0.9) was found in blastocyst stage than the cleavage stage. ART might cause a bias in sex ratio at birth and this change in SSR was found to be affected by the ART procedure applied. The mechanism of these effects is still controversial, larger and multi-centric studies are still warranted.
