Abstract: Background: Women with a prolonged second stage of labor are liable to develop spontaneous damage during childbirth and therefore they need special attention and care to shorten second stage of labor, protect the perineum and prevent neonatal trauma. Different interventions have been used to facilitate shortening the second stage of labor one of these methods may include the use of obstetric gel or virgin olive oil. Objectives: Identify the effect of using extra virgin olive oil versus obstetric gel during vaginal examination on the second stage of labor outcomes. Design: Experimental study.

Abstract: Background: Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are common in children. The cause of URTIs is usually viral, but mothers' knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) often contribute to inappropriate use of antibiotics, and thus promoting antibiotic resistance. Objective: To investigate maternal knowledge, attitude and practice of antibiotics use in children with acute upper respiratory infections and to determine the relation between mother's socioeconomic factors and their KAP toward the use of antibiotics.

Abstract: Malnutrition of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), is frequent and associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Nutritional status is frequently ignored in many dialysis centers while simple methods of nutritional assessment could have a favorable impact on patient management. Aims: To assess the nutritional status of patients undergoing hemodialysis and to assess the severity of malnutrition among those patients. Research Design: A cross-sectional study conducted to assess the nutritional status and prevalence of malnutrition among patients undergoing hemodialysis
