Objectives: This study aims to validate and assess the reliability of the Arabic version of the Voice Handicap Index-Throat (VHI-T), as a self-reported questionnaire for patients with throat difficulties.
Study Design: A prospective, observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study was performed in the ear, nose, and throat department of Kafr El-Sheikh University hospitals from October 2023 to July 2024.
Methods: The preliminary VHI-T was obtained through forward and backward translation.
Background: Moderate laryngomalacia lies in the grey zone where the parents and treating team might hesitate to decide the treatment plan for the child. Neurodevelopmental assessment of the child was neither assessed nor incorporated in surgical decision-making in the past.
Objectives: To evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcome of moderate laryngomalacia treatment strategies (surgery versus conservative).
Increasing waste rubber recycling produces a specious range of products for many valuable applications. Waste Rubber/EPDM composite with different concentrations was prepared. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is used to identify the chemical composition.

The integration of a heterocycle at position 2, with or without spacers, of the new key intermediate 2-hydrazinyl-6-morpholinopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (5) yielded compounds 6-10, 11a-c and 12a-h. The National Cancer Institute (USA) tested all compounds for antiproliferative activity.
