The Prevalence Of Brucellosis In Cattle In White Nile State,Sudan Mohammed, Suhair Sayed; Aidrous, Aidrous Majzoub; Basher, Mona Ali; Elshiekh, Mona Fathalrahman; Abdalrahman, Manahil This study was conducted in White Nile State in order to investigate the prevalence of bovine brucellosis. A surveillance was performed to cover to some areas and eighty three blood samples (n=80, cows,n=3,bulls) were randomly collected from some dairy farms in Assalaia, Kenana and Rabak . Serum samples were obtained and examined by Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) to detect antibodies of brucella. Six samples (7.22%) only were reported to be positive, five cases in Kenana (83.33%) and one case (16.67%)in Rabak . This study indicated that brucellosis could be one of the health and production problems in some dairy farms in White Nile State and probably is one of the magor zoonotic diseases.

Anti- Müllerian Hormone and Lipid Profile in Sudanese Obese Women Diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Sayed, Amel, A.A; O.F, Idris,; I. A, Salah,; Bakhiet, Amel, O. As infertility binds to life style these days, increased lipid profile binds to diagnosis with poly cystic ovary syndrome, which can be diagnosed with AMH level. So this study aimed to assess AMH as a definitive diagnosis tool for PCOS and observing those results though such women with additional criteria, which was obesity. Measurement of all parameters was conducted in Alneelain University. Women were attended to fertility centers in Khartoum state-Sudan. So AMH and lipid profile (cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and HDL were measured among case groups (obese PCOS and non-obese PCOS) and comparing data with other of control group involved fertile non –obese women. Data revealed that there was increase of AMH with lipid profile parameters except the HDL among PCOS women obese and non-obese.

Groundwater Quality Assessment of Some Selected Hand-dug Wells in Wuntin Dada Community of Bauchi- Northwest Nigeria Muhammad, Yusuf Usman; Ahmed, Abdelatif Mokhtar; Jabbo, Josiah Nuhu; Sarki, Ahmed Abubakar This investigation assessed the water quality of ten selected hand-dug wells which for quite sometimes serve as alternative sources of drinking water of the Wuntin Dada inhabitants due to inadequate public supply of potable water. Water from each of the selected hand-dug wells was sampled in a sterilized 500ml plastic container and taken to the laboratory for analysis. Samples were analysed for physical, chemical and microbial parameters. Physical parameters analysed include; pH, Temperature, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity and Total Dissolved Solids. The mean values of all the physical parameters are within the standards set by the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS, 2015) as stipulated in the Nigerian Standards for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) guidelines. Waters from the water sources investigated are therefore safe as far as the physical quality is concerned. Chemical parameters analysed include; Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Lead, and Arsenic. Calcium and Magnesium concentrations are the only two parameters with concentrations higher than the maximum permissible levels set by the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ). Calcium mean value is 184mg/l against the maximum permissible level (mpl) of 75mg/l while that of Magnesium is 70mg/l against the maximum permissible level (mpl) of 20mg/l. The rest are within the maximum permissible levels set by the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS), 2015 standards for drinking water quality. Total hardness is generally high in all the samples with range value of 154 -255mg/l. Water hardness is the traditional measure of the capacity of water to react with soap, hard water requiring considerably more soap to produce lather (WHO, 2011). The water sources investigated provide the inhabitant with hard water. The mean value for Faecal Coliform is 1.6cfu/100ml against the maximum permissible level of 0.00cfu/100ml was rather alarming. This is an indication that the water sources under investigation were recently contaminated and may contain pathogens responsible for water borne diseases. Periodic disinfection of the water sources is highly recommended.

Correlation between patient’s risk factors and H. pylori infection and Seroprevalence of anti- Helicobacter pylori IgG and IgA among out patients in Khartoum State, Sudan with different diagnostic tests H. S, Orsud; AE. O., Mergani; S. M., Elsanousi; G. E, Mohammed This study was conducted to detect seroprevalence of anti- Helicobacter pylori IgG and IgA antibodies by different serological techniques and to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency and reliability of these techniques including Immunochromatography test ICT for rapid H. pylori IgG antibodies detection, enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) test for H. pylori IgA antibodies detection and ELISA for determination of Anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG titer. Two hundred and thirty five patients were subjected to blood sampling and data collection in a questionnaire form, consequently the statistical correlation was tested between H. pylori infection and patient’s risk factors (Age, Gender, Smoking history, Body mass index, Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, symptoms and H. pylori infection history). The IgG antibody titer mean was 95.21 RU/ml and the maximum was 299.20 RU/ml while every sample above 22 RU/ml was considered positive according to manufacturer, the positive samples for IgG were quite high (88.2%) while for IgA the positives were 30% and the positive cases by ICT were 71.9%. In Sudan and similar developing countries ICT is considered as the most commonly used test for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection, this study showed that ICT accuracy was 74.6%, Sensitivity was 75.6% and the Specificity of this test was 88.2%. Hence it is highly recommended that this test should be replaced by other more trusted (invasive or non-invasive) laboratory diagnostic procedure. While the ICT method is not very reliable.
