Vol. 24, No. 4, pp. 297-305 (2008) J'- Official Journal of ~ Korean Society of Toxicology Available o nline a t http://www.toxmut.or.kr Characterization of the Heavy Metals Contaminating the River Nile at EI-Giza Governorate, Egypt and Their Relative Bioaccumulations in Tilapia nilotica Ashraf M. Morgan\ Ho-Chul Shin2 and A.M. Abd El Atf·3 1Department of Toxicology and Forensic Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University, 12211-Giza, Egypt 2Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Konkuk University, Seou/143-701, Korea 30epartment of Pharmacology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University, 12211-Giza, Egypt (Received August 4, 2008; Revised November 3, 2008; Accepted November 3, 2008) This study was carried out to measure the concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Mn, Cr, Cd, Ni, Zn, and Cu) in water and Bolti fish (Tilapia nilotica) samples collected from Rasheed branch of River Nile, north of EI-Giza Governorate, Egypt by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The investigated districts through which the branch passes include EI-Manashi, Gezzaya, El Katta, Abo Ghaleb and Wardan. Based on WHO and FAO safety reference standards, the results of the current study showed that water and fish tissues were found to contain heavy metals at significantly variable con­ centration levels among the investigated districts. They were polluted with respect to all the metals tested at Gezzaya district. However, the levels of analyzed metals in water and fish tissues were found lower than legal limits in other districts. The heavy metals showed differential bioaccumulation in fish tissues of the different districts as the accumulation pattern (as total heavy metal residues) was district dependant as follow: Gezzaya > Wardan > El Katta > Abo Ghaleb > El Manashi.

  • Hydrostratigraphic Characterization of Groundwater Systems in Khatatba Area Using Vertical Electric Sounding and Well Log Data, Sw Nile Delta, Egypt
    ISSN 2321 – 9149 IJAEES (2014) Vol.2, No.1, 39-50 Research Article International Journal of Advancement in Earth and Environmental Sciences HYDROSTRATIGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION OF GROUNDWATER SYSTEMS IN KHATATBA AREA USING VERTICAL ELECTRIC SOUNDING AND WELL LOG DATA, SW NILE DELTA, EGYPT Abdulaziz M. Abdulaziz Mining, Petroleum, and Metallurgical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt ( [email protected]) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT: The study area represents the western extension of the Nile Delta flood plain at the contact of the desert, where the importance of ground water is rising. This requires a thorough understanding to the developed groundwater systems, particularly the shallow aquifers. In this study, well log data was integrated to a Vertical Electric Sounding (VES) survey acquired using Schlumberger configuration at the Khatatba area to characterize the aquifer systems. The results were interpreted using the published stratigraphic data of the study area, and consequently the extension of the identified aquifers can be laterally correlated. Two aquifer systems separated by an aquitard or basaltic layer were mapped and characterized in details. The upper aquifer corresponds to El Khashab formation that produces fresh to brackish water and generally shows unconfined condition that could locally change to partially semi confined. The second aquifer is commonly confined

The study was conducted in the inpatient and outpatient clinics of rheumatology and rehabilitation at Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt. Results: There was a significant improvement in knowledge and practice of patients with RA in the post and follow-up phase of the program in the intervention group. In addition, the patients showed a high level of independence regarding ability to perform ADL. There was a statistically significant decrease in disability for patients in the intervention group. Conclusion: It is recommended that non-pharmacological intervention programs be implemented for patients with RA in different settings to help reduce the number of patients complaining of pain and disability. Keywords: intervention program, non-pharmacological, rheumatoid arthritis.
