AI Article Synopsis
- Rivers are directly influenced by climate change and the changes in their surrounding watersheds, with the Atbara River being a focal point of this research.
- Various statistical methods were used to analyze climatic factors affecting the Atbara River's discharge across three gauging stations.
- The study found no significant trend in precipitation, but models predicted a slight decrease in river discharge in the coming years.
Article Abstract
Rivers respond directly to climate change, as well as incorporating the effects of climate-driven changes occurring within their watersheds. In this research, climate change's impact on the Atbara River, one of the main tributaries of the Nile River, was studied. Various statistical methods of analysis were applied to study the basic characteristics of the climatic parameters that affect the discharge of the Atbara River. The three hydrological gauging stations on the Atbara River, namely, the Upper Atbara and Setit reservoirs, Khashm el-Girba reservoir, and Atbara Kilo 3 station, were included in the study. The correlation between the meteorological parameters and the hydrology of the Atbara River and the prediction of the future hydrology of the Atbara River Basin was determined. Many hydrological models were developed and tested to predict the hydrology of the river. Finally, forecasting for river hydrology was built. No significant trend was found in the precipitation in the study area. The developed model simulates the observed data with a high coefficient of determination ranging from 0.7 to 0.91 for the three hydrological gauging stations studied. Results predicted a slight decrease in river discharge in future years.

Few researches have explored the production of pharmaceuticals from aquatic plants. Therefore, this study explored, for the first time, the phytochemical composition and bioactivities of ten aquatic plants. Aquatic plant shoots from various Nile River canals were collected, dried, and ground for aqueous extract preparation.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between obesity and hypertension among adults in the River Nile State of Northern Sudan, where high blood pressure is prevalent.
- Conducted from January to June 2021, the cross-sectional study included 1,295 overweight and obese participants aged 18 and above, using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements to gather data.
- Results showed that 86.3% of participants were obese and 79.3% were hypertensive, with significant associations between hypertension and factors like central obesity, age over 40, unemployment, low education, and marital status.

Background: Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims. The aim of this study was to assess risk associated with Ramadan fasting among Sudanese individuals with diabetes (high, moderate, and low risk) according to International Diabetes Federation in collaboration with Diabetes and Ramadan International alliance (IDF-DAR) Practical Guidelines 2021 risk score.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study recruited 300 individuals with diabetes (79% have type 2 diabetes) from diabetes centers in Atbara city, the River Nile state, Sudan.
Background Hypertension is a global entity accounting for one of the most modifiable risk factors for all-cause morbidity and mortality. It is associated with a raised risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in developing countries. Nevertheless, the banking sector profession lifestyle is sedentary and accompanied by high levels of mental stress, thus at a higher risk of developing hypertension.
