Among the 19 water samples collected year round during (2010 -2011) from Ashtoum El-Gamil Park, 12 samples succeeded to cluster above similarity level of 60%. The samples of similarity less than 60% were mainly sampled during summer. Total phytoplankton diversity marginally changed between lake stations. The highest diversity of 3.1 was found at station No. 4 in winter where a minimum diversity of 1.14 was found at station No. 1 in spring. The dominant classes in Lake Manzala (Ashtoum El-Gamil Park) were chlorophytes, diatoms and cyanoprokaryotes. The three groups altogether constitute more than 95% and 85% of the total phytoplankton abundance and total number of taxa, respectively. Based on cell number, the chlorophytes ranked the first position of dominance with relative abundance of 84.23% and they exclusively dominated the phytoplankton communities year round. Regarding the species composition, chlorophytes dominated the phytoplankton species composition with percentage occurrence of 44% to the total number of recorded species. The phytoplankton abundance showed major peaks during spring at different stations except at station No. 2 where the highest abundance of 28716 cells x 10 5 l -1 was found, whereas the minor peaks were irregularly distributed between other seasons with the least abundance of 704 cells x 10 5 l -1 which was detected during winter at station No. 4. Generall, the total number of taxa per site showed no obvious pattern of variation. It is concluded that presence and biodiversity of phytoplankton are affected by locations and seasons, and the pollution is under the critical levels.
Background: The rectus sheath is closed during a cesarean section using a variety of methods and suture materials. To ensure optimal healing and minimize problems, a few general guidelines should be followed while sealing the anterior abdominal wall. All sutures used to seal the musculofascial wall must be tightened to roughly resemble the incision's margins. The tissue will become ischemic and necrosis will form if a further strain is applied. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the Knotless suture technique to traditional techniques in rectus sheath closure after a cesarean section. Patients and Methods: In this randomized control study 90 patients undergoing cesarean section were divided into two equal groups in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Al-Azhar University hospitals of Damietta for elective cesarean section. Results: In the present study, there was no statistically significant difference between study groups as regards infection of wound dehiscence at 1 st week. Also, there was a statistical increase in the number of granulomas and discomfort in group B than in group A. Conclusion:In conclusion, we can say knotless suture for rectus sheath closure post-CS could save time and provide an effective method for closure of rectus sheath with a lower risk of complications, postoperative pain, and discomfort.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
