ISOLATION OF SOME PATHOGENIC BACTERIA FROM STUDENTS’ MAKEUP AS A PART OF BIOSAFETY IN THE MEDICAL LABORATORIES
...Show More Authors

The bacterial contamination of lipsticks and face cream may become a great important matter in the medical laboratories. The present study was designed to determine the types of bacterial contamination in the face cream and lipsticks of undergraduate students. Also, the study aimed to determine the sensitivity of the isolated bacteria against many antibacterial agents. The study included 190 swabs samples from 190 face cream and lipsticks samples of the females’ students from five departments in the Medical Technology Institute, Almansour, Middle Technical University were collected in February 2018. The swab samples were collected with sterile condition and cultured on enriched Blood agar and MacConkey agar. Serial dilutions were made up to 10−6 to enumerate the suspected present bacteria in the samples. The identification of isolated bacteria was confirmed by using culture media, Gram stain and biochemical tests. The sensitivity test of the isolated bacteria to different antibiotics was examined according to Bauer - Kirby disc diffusion method. 100 (52.63%) samples were positive; 100 isolates of bacteria were isolated from makeup. Also, the percentage of bacterial isolates isolated from the face cream samples were more than the lipsticks (85% vs. 15%, respectively). The most frequent bacterial isolates were Staphylococcus aureus (66.66% from lipstick swabs and 47.05% from the face cream) followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (13.33 from the lipstick and 23.52% from the face cream). Also, Escherichia coli was isolated and the percentage of E. coli was 13.33% and 11.76%, for the lipstick and the face cream, respectively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed a high resistance to the antibiotics. Whereas, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus spp. and Proteus mirabilis were susceptible to Cephalothin and Ciprofloxacin, while it resistant to Amikacin, Cefazolin and Cefotaxime. The bacterial counts in the makeup were higher than the bacterial limits standards. The lipstick and face cream were relatively contaminated with Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria more than the standard limit, these contaminated accessories lead to distribute the pathogenic bacteria among the students causing several diseases.

The Accuracy of Intraoral Registration for Dynamic Surgical Navigation in the Edentulous Maxilla
...Show More Authors

Purpose: Despite the high clinical accuracy of dynamic navigation, inherent sources of error exist. The purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy of dynamic navigated surgical procedures in the edentulous maxilla by identifying the optimal configuration of intra-oral points that results in the lowest possible registration error for direct clinical implementation. Materials and methods: Six different 4-area configurations were tested by 3 operators against positive and negative controls (8-areas and 3-areas, respectively) using a skull model. The two dynamic navigation systems (X-Guide® and NaviDent®) and the two registration methods (bone surface tracing and fiducial markers) produced four registration groups. The accuracy of the

Study the Characteristic of the Coupling Parameter ( ? ) in Dusty Plasma by Computer modeling
...Show More Authors

Computer modeling has been used to investing the Coulomb coupling parameter ?. The effects of the structure parameter K, grain charge Z, plasma density N, temperature dust grain Td, on the Coulomb coupling parameter had been studied. It was seen that the ? was increasing with increasing Z and N, and decrease with increasing K and T. Also the critical value of ? that the phase transfer of the plasma state from liquid to solid was studied.

Surveying the Organization of Digital Contents in the Internet Environments Using Ontological Approaches
...Show More Authors

     Ontology is a system for classifying human knowledge according to its objective characteristics and hierarchical relations through building clusters or that bear common characteristics. In digital environments, it is a mechanism that helps regulate a vast amount of information by achieving a complete link between sub-thematic concepts and their main assets. The purpose of this study is to survey the previously conducted studies that use ontology in organizing digital data on social networking sites, such as the search engines Yahoo, Google, and social networks as Facebook and their findings. Results have shown that all these studies invest ontology for the purpose of organizing digital content data, especially on
