Soil damage has been increased the in the few last decades due to human activities, urbanization and other erotic factors. Absorption of water through soil and aerial parts of plants and resource management strategies allow for the conservation of water. While, organic matter playing important role in good soil structure and water holding capacity, promotes water infiltration, and protects the soil from erosion and compaction. The best water conservation practices to be made in order to optimize the water usage as quantity of water reflected to the crops cultivations. Soil restoration increases the chances to minimize the risk of climatic conditions that ultimately helpful for making the soil fertility. In soil, water from different sources absorbed including the rain sources, surface water, ground water and external water sources. Agricultural groundwater sources are also maintained for irrigation and storage of water needed for survival of climatic conditions. Water storage through solar panels also another way for marinating the water balance and also helpful for storage system. Vertical flow CWs (VFs) are more efficient for marinating the water balance in the agricultural land as compared to the horizontal flow.

Our purpose is to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its relation to various factors among pregnant women in the local population. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 105 pregnant women attending routine antenatal care (ANC) in Al Ain Hospital. Participants were screened for urinary incontinence using the International. Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire -Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-UI Short Form). English and Arabic Versions. Of 105 pregnant women, 49% (n=51) complained of Urinary Incontinence. Stress incontinence being the most common type accounting for 52% women, followed by Urge incontinence with 42%. 50% women reported leaking no more than once a week; in 76% of them the volume was small in amount. Majority (60.4%) of the women reported that incontinence had no or minimum effect on their quality of life.The incidence of incontinence increased with advanced age where 65% of the older age group (> 35 years) complained of UI compared to 42% of the younger age group (≤35 years) (P = 0.027). Urinary incontinence was experience more in multiparous women compared to primiparous (p=0.034). Also, women with multiple vaginal deliveries had more UI compared to Csections (P = 0.012). There was no significant correlation between the presence of UI and other factors such as Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Urinary tract infections and Constipation. In conclusion, a significant proportion of pregnant women experienced urinary incontinence which was not reported to their primary care providers. Therefore, more education and awareness must be enforced to ensure early detection and management.

Summary: The management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during pregnancy remains a clinical challenge for oncologists, obstetricians, patients and their families. Although the incidence of AML during pregnancy is low at 1 in 75,000 pregnancies, cancer is the second most common cause of maternal death behind pregnancy-related vascular complications. Due to the small number of patients diagnosed, there are only retrospective reviews and case series to guide complex management decisions. Case Report: A 35-year-old woman presented to our facility at 32 weeks' gestation after being found to have hyperleukocytosis, neutropenia, and anemia during a routine antenatal evaluation. Bone marrow aspiration demonstrated a diagnosis of AML. The blast population compromised 93% of the cellular elements.

Background: The tongue is a muscular hydrostat that forms the floor of the mouth, perform functions like mastication, speech, taste and osculation. The tongue is relatively affected by both oral and systemic conditions in all ages and acts as a “mirror” for oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Prevalence of tongue lesions varies due to demographic and/or geographic differences of the sample studied, differences in the diagnostic criteria, methodological approaches, and sampling methods employed. Objective: To determine the socio-demographic distribution of different categories of tongue lesions and their oral presentations. Methods: Information were retrospectively retrieved from Maxillofacial Clinical and Surgical day cases registers. Data such as age, gender; duration of lesion and location of lesions on the tongue and category of lesion were also extracted using relevant descriptive and inference statistics All statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Ninety- two cases were recruited retrospectively from two tertiary centers with a male preponderance of 53.3% (n= 49). The mean age of presentation of tongue lesions in the study is 41.1years 22.4 years, dorsum of the tongue presented the highest number of occurrences of tongue lesions (52.2%). The most common lesions on the dorsum of the tongue in this study are squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), benign migratory glossitis and irritation fibroma. The mean age of presentation for benign lesion is 23years, inflammatory/reactive lesion 44.9years and malignant lesions 51.6years respectively. The mean duration of tongue lesions in our study is 9.1 months (median = 6 months), mean duration of presentation of benign lesions (14.8 months) was longer than that of malignant lesions (6.4 months). The association between duration and category of lesion is statistically significant at p < 0.0001. Conclusion: Delayed clinical presentation by patients and patronage of unorthodox traditional doctors contribute to the overtly increased incidence of oral malignancies in Sub-Saharan Africa; this coupled with improper or lack of accurate record keeping may have also culminated in this increased prevalence of oral malignancies. All tongue surfaces can be affected, gender predilections for any of the surfaces is yet to be affirmed by any study however aging is related to malignant occurrences.

Soil communities, the microorganisms, are the initial and primary recipients of hydrocarbons or any xenobiotics incidented on the soil. This study evaluated the biology of soil organisms, ex-situ; the hydrocarbonclastics and non-hydrocarbonclastics, following an exposure to spent engine oil. The result demonstrated that at low and moderate contaminations of 1.5 and 2.5% w/w, hydrocarbons reduced the microbial population from control, 1.28 x109 cfu, to 3.42 x108 and 3.06 x 108cfu on week one respectively. However, at increased contaminations of 3.5% w/w, hydrocarbons from large oil spills weaken microbial ability to degrade the added hydrocarbons as the prejudicial nature reduced the population to 1.62 x 108cfu on week one. Overall, across the weeks, there was insurgence of hydrocarbon-degrading organisms, the hydrocarbonclastics, which on the other hand induced a limitation in microbial diversity. The isolated hydrocarbonclastic microorganisms in the descending order of their biodegradation potentials are: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Arthrobacter, Alealigena, Corynebacter, Flavo-bacterium, Archromobacter, Micrococcus, Norcardia and Myco-bacterium. Thus within the ecosystem they devised metabolic diversity with increased catabolic properties primarily aimed at biodegrading the xenobiotics; making them hydrocarbonclastic organisms.

Background: Refugees and internally displaced children are often fed food with a low nutritional value or high in carbohydrates, predisposing them to a relatively higher risk of dental caries, and periodontal diseases. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the oral health status among a group of refugees and displaced children. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study among (172), 3–13-year-old children (59 boys (34.3%) and 113 girls (65.7%) from in Almoshama camp for displaced and refugees coming from different areas of Sudan and outside Sudan. The participants were selected by non-probability sampling technique based on convenient accessibility and availability of children from friendly child spaces in the camp. Dental caries was assessed by dmft for primary teeth and DMFT for permanent teeth, while periodontal status was assessed by community periodontal index (CPI). Comparison between different non-parametric data was done by Chi-Squire test and parametric data by student T-test, with the level of statistical significance difference set at P-value ≤ 0.05. Results: The prevalence of dental caries among the participants was 33.3%. The mean ±SD dmft score was 2.28±1.77 and the DMFT score was 1.63±1.51. A statistically significant difference in mean DMFT between different age groups (P=0.004) and between boys and girls (P-0.03). While the mean CPI was 0.73. Almost half of the participants had periodontal diseases (54.1%) of whom 37.2% had gingival problems, 14.5% calculus, and only 2.32% have pocket problems. Conclusions: High prevalence of untreated dental caries and periodontal diseases among Refugees and internally displaced children living in Almoshama camp in West Kordofan, Sudan. Emphasis on motivation in oral health promotion campaigns and provision of primary health care services among those vulnerable groups is paramount.
