ABSTRACT A cross-sectional community-based study was carried out in Khartoum urban area aimed at stratifying the area by risk of malaria transmission. Two thousand households (8092 individuals) were surveyed during the cold, dry and rainy seasons of 2002. Households with screened windows, using bednets or both were 5.0% (95% CI: 4.1–6.0), 10.9% (95% CI: 9.5–12.3) and 1.8% (95% CI: 1.2–2.5) respectively. Access to health services was high. Only 3.8% (95% CI: 2.9–4.7) of households kept antimalarial drugs at home. The parasite rate, spleen rate and fever rate were very low (0.21%, 0.17% and 0.97% respectively). Overall, people in Greater Bahry suffer a greater burden of malaria than those in Greater Khartoum or Greater Omdurman, with a seasonal pattern of transmission.

Placental Mesenchymal Dysplasia With Normal Fetus: A Rare Case Report
Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare benign placental abnormality. It is characterized by hydropic degeneration of stem villi, placentomegaly, and increased maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP). It can be associated with different congenital abnormalities, karyotype abnormalities, and feto-maternal morbidities. It is difficult to differentiate PMDfrom partial mole, complete mole wit...
متن کاملPreconditioning repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of premotor cortex can reduce but not enhance short-term facilitation of primary motor cortex.
Short trains of suprathreshold 5-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over primary motor cortex (M1) evoke motor potentials (MEPs) in hand muscles that progressively increase in amplitude via a mechanism that is thought to be similar to short-term potentiation described in animal preparations. Long trains of subthreshold rTMS over dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) are known to affe...

مطالعات اخیر نشان داده که میراگر جرمی غیرفعال می تواند پاسخ تغییرمکان حداکثر سازه های نامتقارن رابه طور مناسبی کاهش دهد. ولی در اکثر سازه ها کاهش همزمان شتاب و تغییرمکان دو لبه از اهمیت بالاییبرخوردار است. در این مقاله کنترل لرزه ای ساختمانهای نامتقارن یک، چهار و هشت طبقه با خصوصیاتمختلف پیچشی با استفاده از میراگر جرمی با مشخصات و موقعیتهای مختلف مورد مطاله قرار گرفت. کاهشحداکثر تغییرمکان و شتا...

Carex divisa is a patrimonial rhizomatous species and acts as an important component of grazed wet permanent grassland on the French Atlantic coast. This study treated three storage regimes (wet-cold, dry-cold and dry-warm), burial in soil, fluctuating temperature and salinity on seed germination of C. divisa. The seeds were dormant at maturity. No seed germinated after 2 and 6 weeks of dry sto...
متن کاملPelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a rare and progressive condition affecting the central nervous system. [1] It is one of a group of gene-linked disorders known as the leukodystrophies, which are all characterised by myelin sheath abnormalities. This is due to a mutation in the gene that controls the production of a myelin protein called proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1). The exact type of PLP1 ...
