Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and sixth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide, with an estimated recorded number of 1.1 million cases and 307,000 deaths which allocates 15% of all new cases of cancer in men. Androgen receptor (AR) expression is maintained throughout prostate cancer progression, and the majority of androgen –independent or hormone refractory prostate cancers express Androgen receptor. HER2/neu, a biological marker named human epidermal growth factor receptor -2[EGFR-2] is also known as c-erb-2 plays a major role in understanding the oncogenesis of prostate adenocarcinoma and has a significant prognosis in the disease. Aim of The Study: To study the histomorphological features and grading of prostatic neoplasms with Gleason’s scoring. To study over the expression of HER2/neu & androgen receptor status in prostate neoplasm. To study the correlation of Gleason’s scoring with AR & HER2/neu expression in prostate cancer. All patients who were diagnosed to have prostatic cancer and PIN and were diagnosed by prostatic biopsy either by prostatectomy, TURP or Trucut procedure were included in the study and were examined for analyzing various histomorphological features and grading of various neoplasms of prostate with correlation to overexpression of immmunohistochemical markers Her2/neu and AR. Conclusion: This study may help the clinician in finding out her2/neu over expressed cases and implementing anti her2/neu therapy along with androgen deprived therapy for longer survival of prostate cancer patients although further studies on larger series of prostate carcinoma is required for new generation of more efficient anti her2 drugs.

Introduction: Caesarean section is the most common obstetric intervention in the world. The operating wound it causes can experience an unfavourable development. The objective: of this work was to compare the evolution of operative wounds in caesareans with or without dressing. Patients and methods: This was a randomized, open and controlled trial over a period of 5 months from 1st May to 30 September 2019 at the reference health centre in the commune V of Bamako district. Results: The study involved 294 patients, including 147 for each arm. We recorded 30 cases (10.2%) of infection of the operating site, including 13 (8.84%) among patients with no dressing, versus 17 (11.56%) among those with dressing without significant statistical difference (p = 0.25). The average cost of the dressing was estimated at 24,075 CFA francs (48.15 Dollars) for caesarean sections with a dressing and 3,075 CFA francs (6.15 Dollars) for those without a dressing with a difference of 21,000 FCFA (42 Dollars). In sum: We did not find a statistically significant difference in regard to the evolution of the surgical wound in the two attitudes. However, this results in a certain economic interest if the operating wound is not covered with a dressing.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of total factor productivity and employment level on economic growth of Saudi Arabia. The data used in the analysis is a time series data covering the period 2005-2019, and a semi-log regression model was estimated. The results showed that real GDP growth is fluctuating during the study period depending on oil price level. The total factor productivity in Saudi Arabia lagged behind that of many emerging economies. The model results revealed that the total factor productivity is more important for economic growth than increasing the size of the labor force. The paper recommends policymakers seeking to foster economic growth in Saudi Arabia, to put more emphasis on improving productivity of capital inputs and labor through adoption of proper technologies, training, and research and development.

Objective: was to take stock of the screening and treatment of precancerous and cancerous lesions of the cervix in the health district of commune V of Bamako in Mali. Patients and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study with retrospectiveand prospective data collection over a period of 08 years from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2017. Results: From January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017, 42492 women were screened on a target of 174777 women, a frequency of 24.30%. The median age of women screened was 32 years; 25% were under 25 years of age. A similar proportion were over the age of 40. 3/4 of the women screened belonged to the age group of 20 to 49 years. Women aged 55 and over were the least represented by 5.7%. Screening coverage was over 35% among the 25-49 age groups. It was 31.9% and 23.1% among women aged 50 – 54 and 55 – 59 respectively. Screening coverage was less than 15% among 60-year-olds and older. Of the 22842 women screened, 90.1% had a normal cervix at IVA/IVL. However 4.1% cervix positivity to acetic acid and 5.1% positivity to Lugol. 0.7% of the women screened had clinically cancerous lesions. At the anatomo-pathological level, various histological lesions have been observed with regard to precancerous lesions, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinomas. Indeed, among the women screened 96.5% had a normal cervix with benign lesions. For those with pathological histological results, 2.6% of them had histology with precancerous le sions and 0.8% had squamous cell carcinomas. A low rate of 0.1% of adenocarcinoma was recorded in our series. Conclusion: The improvement of screening indicators with IVA/IVL which does not require large resources is a promising avenue in Africa on which, it can hope for the rate of morbidity and mortality by cervical cancer.
