  • Original Research Article
    Original Research Article Burden of Helicobacter pylori Infections and Associated Risk Factors among Cases of Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Egypt Running title: Burden of Helicobacter pylori Infections among Cases of Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Egypt Abstract Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a worldwide nutritional problem; it accounts for about half of the world’s anaemia burden. Globally, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is becoming an increasingly troublesome economic and public health problem. H. pylori colonization in gastric mucosa may impair iron uptake and increase iron loss, potentially leading to IDA. The mechanisms by which H. pylori is postulated to cause IDA are H. pylori - associated chronic gastritis resulting in hypo/or achlorhydria, reduced ascorbic acid secretion and reduced intestinal iron absorption, occult blood loss due to chronic erosive gastritis, and sequestration and utilization of iron by H. pylori. Aims : To detect H. pylori–related IDA prevalence among asymptomatic cases of anaemia and to address the possibility that such infection may play a detrimental role in their blood picture, serum iron and ferritin levels and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) Study design & Methods: Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted in the period from December 2018 to May 2019. Screening was done for asymptomatic attendants of a number of private laboratories in Beheira, Alexandria and Gharbiya governorates.Three hundreds of whom were proved to be cases of IDA and were further tested for H. pylori antigen in stool. Results: H. pylori Ag test in stool was positive in 180 out of 300 cases of IDA. H. pylori infection significantly affected the haemoglobin level, MCV, MCH and RDW in studied cases (p<0.05).

  • Serengeti of the Southern Ocean
    SOUTH GEORGIA & THE FALKLANDS SERENGETI OF THE SOUTHERN OCEAN ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER | 2018-2020 TM If the astonishing sight of some 100,000+ king penguins in one rookery alone were all this expedition offered; if at the end of our time among the kings—observing, listening, photographing, walking among and communing with them—our team said “Show’s over, Folks,” and everyone were to head back home—it’s likely no one would complain, according to all our expedition leaders. It’s that profound and rewarding an experience. BUT THERE’S MORE: THE GREATEST WILDLIFE SPECTACLE ON EARTH. There’s life in such profusion that it boggles your mind as it sends your spirit soaring. Dense colonies of king penguins, fur seals, elephant seals, macaroni and gentoo penguins. Slopes of stunning windward cliffs teeming with grey-headed, black-browed and wandering albatross— nearly a third of all the birds of this species nest here. Plus, there are the rare endemics: the mighty South Georgia pipit, the only songbird in the Antarctic region and South Georgia’s only passerine; and the Falkland’s Johnny rook. (Life-listers take note.) Once a killing ground for whalers, South Georgia is now a sanctuary, an extravagant celebration of wildlife and pristine wildness. We travel with some of the best wildlife photographers on Earth, and even their best photos can’t do this spectacle justice. So, we offer images on the following pages as an invitation—to see it all yourself. TM Cover photo: A pair of adult king penguins amid fuzzy chicks with their dark brown down.

  • 2019 Uber Lost & Found Index Uber Egypt Reveals the Unique Items Left
    2019 Uber Lost & Found Index Uber Egypt reveals the unique items left behind in rides including homemade pickles, a xylophone, and even a cat! ● The 2019 Lost & Found Index is here and it reveals some interesting facts; Thursday is when riders from Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia are the most forgetful ● Riders from Egypt exited without their wallets and purses on Wednesday’s more than any other day of the week, while riders from the UAE were most likely to forget their phones/cameras on a Friday. Saudi riders left behind backpacks and luggage on Thursdays. ● Some of the most unique items Egyptian riders left behind included a jar of pickles, a tuxedo, a cat and a xylophone. Cairo, Egypt March 20, 2019 We’ve all done it. Forgotten something important or of value in a cab, a plane, or indeed an Uber. We’re also no stranger to the sinking feeling we go through in that moment of realization. And while it is easy to get your lost items back from your Uber, this year’s Lost & Found Index highlights some of the most absent-minded riders in the region. Providing a glimpse into what our riders most commonly forget, the index also lists some of the more surprising items they tend to leave behind. It also highlights which cities are most forgetful, and which days of the week people tend to forget the most. While almost all of us have lost a phone at some point, some of our riders are leaving behind unusual items such as wedding card invitations, a pair of binoculars and unbelievably even a sibling! In Egypt, one rider left behind a wheelchair, while others left unusual items including a ​ ​ ​ container of home-made pickles, a tuxedo, a shisha, and a cat in its travel carrier.
