Designing and evaluating an automated intravenous dosage medication calculation tool for reducing the time of stat medication administration in a pediatric emergency department.

Background: Urgent medications are regularly prescribed using the term "stat", which indicates that the medication should be administered within 30 min after it is ordered. However, many hospitals struggle to reliably administer stat medications within 30 min after they are ordered. This study involved developing and evaluating an automated intravenous dosage medication calculation tool (AIVDMCT) for reducing the time between the order and administration of stat medications to children at a pediatric emergency department (PED) in Saudi Arabia.

Synthesis and characterization of PVK/AgNPs nanocomposites prepared by laser ablation.

Nanocomposites of Poly (n-vinylcarbazole) PVK/Ag nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation of a silver plate in aqueous solution of chlorobenzene. The influences of laser parameters such as; time of irradiation, source power and wavelength (photon energy) on structural, morphological and optical properties have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and Photoluminescence (PL). A correlation between the investigated properties has been discussed.

Prevalence of Parkinson's disease and other types of Parkinsonism in Al Kharga district, Egypt.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder in older people. The prevalence of PD varies among ethnic and geographic groups around the world. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of PD and other types of Parkinsonism in persons aged ≥40 years in the Al Kharga district of Egypt.

Epidemiology of non-fatal cerebrovascular stroke and transient ischemic attacks in Al Quseir, Egypt.

Background And Purpose: Stroke is a medical emergency that can cause permanent neurological damage, complications, and disability. We aim to determine the epidemiology of non-fatal cerebrovascular stroke (CVS) and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in Al Quseir City, Red Sea, Egypt.

Methods: The total population (n=33,285) was screened through a door to door study by three specialists of neurology and 15 female social workers (for demographic data collection).
