Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the impact of community-based health interventions on controlling schistosomiasis among schoolchildren, aiming to inform future policies and strategies.
- Conducted at Al-Alaqa male primary school, the research involved 237 students, with 132 diagnosed with schistosomiasis, who received treatment and health education while data were collected and analyzed to measure effectiveness.
- Results indicated a significant decrease in infection rates from 55.7% to 3.8% post-intervention, highlighting the importance of combining treatment and health education for long-term disease control.
Background: Despite the risks associated with energy drinks (EDs), the consumption of EDs remains high, especially among adolescents, so the study aimed to assess the consumption pattern, awareness, perception of EDs, and their adverse impact on adolescent health.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. The study setting is Damanhur City, Beheira governorate, Egypt, with a sample size of 350 participants.

In recent years, advances in medical imaging have greatly improved the acquisition, storage, and visualization of various pathologies, making it a necessary component in medicine today.
Objective: Develop a computer-aided diagnostic system to detect lung cancer early by segmenting tumor and non-tumor tissue on Tissue Micro Array Analysis (TMA) histopathological images.
