  • Factor V Leiden Mutation in Arabs in Kuwait by Real-Time
    Journal of Human Genetics (2010) 55, 232–235 & 2010 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/10 $32.00 www.nature.com/jhg ORIGINAL ARTICLE FactorVLeidenmutationinArabsinKuwaitby real-time PCR: different values for different Arabs Ali A Dashti, Mehrez M Jadaon and Hend L Lewis Factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation (G1691A) is a risk factor for development of venous thromboembolic disorders. FVL was found mostly in Caucasians (1–15%) but was almost absent in non-Caucasians. Studies on Arab patients and populations revealed very inconsistent results. This study reports FVL in Arabs living in Kuwait with a focus on the nationality of the Arab subjects studied. Whole-blood samples were collected from 400 healthy Arabs who were 268 Kuwaitis (67%), 50 Syrians (12.5%), 34 Jordanians (8.5%), 8 Palestinians (2%) and 40 Egyptians (10%). DNA extraction was carried out for these blood samples and real-time PCR was performed to detect the presence of FVL. Generally, 36 cases (9%) had the mutation (33 were heterozygous and 3 were homozygous), with an allelic frequency of 0.049. The prevalence of FVL differed in different Arabic cases: Kuwaitis 4.5%, Egyptians 15%, Syrians 16%, Jordanians 23.5% and Palestinians 25%. The allelic frequency was 0.022 in the Kuwaitis and 0.088–0.132 in non-Kuwaitis. The three homozygous cases were from Syria, Jordan and Egypt. In conclusion, the prevalence of FVL in Arabs living in Kuwait is as high as in Caucasians. There is a difference in prevalence among Arabs themselves, being relatively lower in Kuwaitis than in non-Kuwaitis.

The two-day meeting, organized by the Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, on the theme “Ending the occupation and establishing the Palestinian State,” brings United Nations officials and diplomats together with a diverse group of Middle East experts. Topics include prospects for Israeli-Palestinian peace, Jerusalem’s spiritual significance, and ways to reset the political dialogue, including through third-party mediation.

  • Yachad Ministries' Israel's News Update August 16, 2018 (5 of Elul
    Yachad Ministries’ Israel's News Update August 16, 2018 (5th of Elul, 5778) For the Yachad Report Newsletter For August 2018 ISRAELI MEDICAL CLOWN HEALS WITH HUMOR: For medical clown Dr. Amnon Raviv, humor for patients with serious illnesses is a survival order – a weapon to fight disease. Well known across Israel for his 23 years of work in medical clowning, Raviv will be in South Africa throughout August 2018 to share his expertise and assist the newly established NGO Dr. Heartbeat with medical-clown training. “Today we know that it is not possible to treat the body without taking care of the soul,” Raviv told media sources. The medical clown treats the psyche, and the stronger it is, the better the chances of recovery. Many studies indicate that medical clowning reduces anxiety and pain in patients – children and adults – and thus allows for better coping with the disease and its consequences. We know that laughter causes the secretion of hormones called endorphins that strengthen the immune system. The special empathetic connection that the medical clown creates with the patients reinforces and strengthens them,” Raviv explained. He added that “humor allows them to observe his or her situation from another, ‘smiling’ perspective. The laughter, brought by the medical clown to patients enables them to celebrate life here and now and to mobilize forces in coping with the disease.” ISRAEL CONFISCATES TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOONS HEADED FOR GAZA: Three shipping containers containing tens of thousands of balloons on their way to Gaza were stopped and confiscated at the Ashdod port on 13 Aug.

World Vision focuses on improving children’s well-being through child-focused transformational development, disaster management, and promotion of justice. 1 In Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, World Vision works through a community-based sustainable framework in which children, families, and communities move towards healthy individual development, positive relationships and a context that provides safety, social justice and participation in civil society. World Vision has developed four high-level Child Well-Being Aspirations that define what we mean by ’life in all its fullness’ for children. Our aspirations for girls and boys are that they: ..are cared for, protected and participating ..are educated for life ..enjoy good health ..experience the love of God and their neighbours These aspirations guide our local-level programming strategies as well as national, regional and partnership strategies.
