Egypt has a lower incidence of uterine cancer than other countries in the Middle East. In addition to the international incidence variation, there are also wide variations in incidence by rural and urban areas within countries. Therefore, this research project focused on the Gharbiah province, north of Cairo in the Nile Delta, with the aims of investigating demographic and clinical characteristics of uterine cancer, assessing rural/urban variation in incidence rates, and evaluating the possible role of hysterectomy in under-estimating the disease incidence in this population. Methods: Uterine cancer data of 660 cases were obtained from the Gharbiah Population- based Cancer Registry in Gharbiah, Egypt during the period 1999-2010. The hysterectomy data of 1040 cases were abstracted from the main pathologic labs over the entire region. The Egypt 2006 data census was used to determine the total population of Gharbiah and the rural and urban subgroups. Crude, age-standardized (ASR), and age- specific rates were calculated and associated with demographic and clinical characteristics of patients. The uterine cancer incidence pre- and post- adjustment for hysterectomy prevalence were compared and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. iv Results: The results confirmed the low ASR of uterine cancer in Gharbiah, [4.1 per 100,000 (95% CI: 3.8-4.4)]. The incidence rate significantly increased over the 12-year period. The ASR was 2.5 times higher in urban areas compared to rural areas (6.9 and 2.8 per 100,000), in urban and rural areas, respectively. The prevalence of hysterectomy did not have a significant impact on the uterine cancer incidence rate. Conclusions: The study confirmed the low incidence rate of uterine cancer in the Gharbiah province of Egypt and a statistical significant increase in incidence in recent years. Although, the rate of uterine cancer in this population increased over the past decade, it is still lower than the corresponding global rates. The lack of evidence about the possible role of hysterectomy in lowering of uterine cancer rates adds to the need for research to identify the apparent protective factors for uterine cancer in this population. v Table of Contents Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. i Abstract: ............................................................................................................................. iii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................ v List of Tables: .................................................................................................................. viii List of Abbreviations ......................................................................................................... ix Chapter 1: ............................................................................................................................ 1 Background ......................................................................................................................... 1 Anatomy and Histology of Uterus: ............................................................................................................. 1 Physiology and Hormonal Changes: ........................................................................................................... 1 Types of Uterine Cancer: .................................................................................................... 2 Pathologic Subtypes and Genomic Classification of Uterine Cancer:................................ 2 Pathogenesis of Uterine Cancer: ......................................................................................... 4 Tumor Staging and Grading System: .................................................................................. 5 Symptoms and Diagnosis of Uterine Cancer: ..................................................................... 8 Treatment of Uterine Cancer: ............................................................................................. 9 Risk Factors ...................................................................................................................... 11 Age: ........................................................................................................................................................... 11 Parity: ........................................................................................................................................................ 11 Family History and Genetic Disorder: ...................................................................................................... 11 Obesity: ..................................................................................................................................................... 12 Diabetes Mellitus:...................................................................................................................................... 13 Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): ................................................................................................... 13 Tamoxifen: ................................................................................................................................................ 14 Age of Menarche and Menopause: ............................................................................................................ 14 Protective Factors.............................................................................................................. 15 Contraceptive hormones: ........................................................................................................................... 15 Smoking: ................................................................................................................................................... 15 Physical activity:

  • Contentious Politics and the 25Th January Egyptian Revolution
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Contentious Politics and the 25th January Egyptian Revolution Neil Ketchley A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2014 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 44,982 words. 2 Abstract The three articles that make up this thesis consider the diverse forms of contentious politics and mass mobilization that emerged during the 25th January Egyptian Revolution in 2011 and its aftermath. The first article, discussing the eighteen days of anti-Mubarak protest, pays special attention to the position of the Egyptian army in and around Midan al-Tahrir, and recounts how protestors sought to co-opt and neutralize the threat posed by regime forces. It finds that fraternizing protestors developed a repertoire of contention that made situational, emotional claims on the loyalty of regime troops.

  • Enhanced Removal of Dissolved Iron and Manganese from Nonconventional Water Resources in Delta District, Egypt
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Energy Procedia 18 ( 2012 ) 983 – 993 Enhanced Removal of Dissolved Iron and Manganese from Nonconventional Water Resources in Delta District, Egypt Mariam G. Salema*, M’d Hamdy El-Awadyb and Ezzat Aminc a Researcher of nonconventional water resources, Environment and Climate changes Research Institu, Kanater, Kalubia 13621/5,Egypt bProfessor of Water Pollution Control, National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo 12311, Egypt c General Manager of Planning of Sakr Factory, Arab Organization for Industrialization, Cairo, Egypt Abstract The Nile Delta aquifer in Egypt is among the largest groundwater reservoirs in the world. This paper presents main sources causing Fe and Mn pollution to nonconventional drainage and groundwater resources and an applied method to reduce both elements to be safe. The main environmental problems were analyzed to suggest an optimum solution to be implemented in Delta District, Egypt. Raw water samples were collected and analyzed from Gharbia Governorate’s study area as it represents most Delta governorates. One of the main problems related to water in Delta is the reddish colour caused by the presence of ferrous and manganese. Iron and manganese concentrations in most samples exceeded World Health Organization and Egyptian Standard for safe water limits. Iron ranges between 0.1 & 1.33, while manganese shows 0.5 & 1.45 (mg/l) in the raw water, respectively. A (GIS) model was developed to access geostatistical analyst and mapping the probability that Fe and Mn concentration exceeds a critical threshold. Results show that the main polluting sources are from chemicals and fertilizers used in fruits farms as well from petrochemical and industrial activities.

The wastewater treatment plants using different biological treatment techniques (conventional activated sludge, oxidation ditch, extended aeration, rotating biological contactors and aerated lagoons processes). Wastewater samples were collected from both influent and effluent of each plant and the wastewater quality were determined at central laboratory of Garbyia Water Co. The performance of each plant was estimated based on the treated wastewater quality data. Correlations between influent and effluent TSS, COD and BOD5 were developed. Kotour WWTP operates with the oxidation ditch technology exhibits the highest performance efficiency, while Tanta WWTP operates with conventional activated sludge technology exhibits the lowest one. The results show that, all collected samples from Tanta, and El Mehala El Kobra WWTPs were exceeding the Egyptian Permissible limits (COD: 80 mg/l) while the samples collected from Mehalet Marhom, Mehalet Menof, Kotour, El Santa, Shernak and Zefta were complying the Egyptian regulations.
