Cyclohexane-1,3-dione
(1) was used as a template to develop new anticancer compounds. The ring modification
of compound 1occurred through its reaction with either aromaticaldehydes or benzenediazonium
chloride to produce the corresponding products. The latter compounds underwenttheterocyclization
reactions through the reaction with elemental sulfur and some active methylene
reagents to produce tetrahydrobenzo[ b]thiophene
derivatives. The reaction of compound 1 with elemental sulfur and ph...

Introduction: Medical care is provided
by multidisciplinary teams. There is great need for high levels of coordination
among teams. Paper medical records pile up leading to logistical difficulties
owing to the passive nature of paper records. Sometimes finding a piece of
medical history can be difficult. Information and communication technology
solutions can solve such problems. The Zimbabwean AIDS & TB Unit under
the Ministry of Health installed an electronic Patient Management System in 83
hea...

Background: Healthcare organizations regularly face new challenges. Their
leaders must be adaptive through systematic approaches. These approaches must
meet three basic needs: 1) facilitation of workflow/process/task assessment and
improvement; 2) creation of high reliability organization; and 3) respect of
each practice as a special part of the total healthcare system. The US Institute
of Medicine has called for higher quality at lower cost through “ leadership that fosters continuous learnin...

The changes of chlorophylls and main metabolites in three cultivars of Triticum
aestivum L. under the effects of osmotic and lead stresses, as well as their
interaction, were investigated. The results indicated that, the decreased Ψs and Pb concentration caused an increase in the chlorophyll content in
all plants. Conversely, the chl. a/b ratio was decreased.
Apparently, the total soluble proteins were increased in response to low ...

Introduction: Out of fifteen countries that have the
highest death rate from clinical pneumonia in children younger than
five-year-old, Ethiopia ranks as number four in the world. Regardless of this
fact, efforts to identify determinants of pneumonia have been limited in
Ethiopia. This study identifies the risk factors of pneumonia in children aged
two months to five years in urban areas of Oromia Zone, Amhara Region,
Ethiopia. Methods: The researchers used an institutional-based unmatched case

Background: Minimally invasive video-assisted
thyroidectomy (MIVAT) has been proposed as an alternative procedure to get the
same completeness as a conventional thyroidectomy in selected cases of differentiated
thyroid cancer. It’s considered as safe as the conventional procedure. Objective:
The purpose of the study was to do a retrospective evaluation in a series of
patients who underwent MIVAT for thyroid nodule or thyroid cancer over a two
and a half year period, in two academic centers in Co...
