Background: Transplantation has revolutionized
treatment of end- stage renal disease (ESRD) by proving
more cost effective than hemodialysis, with a lower
morbidity and improved quality of life.
Objective: To evaluate the development of these
complications in the first month postoperatively and
correlate their development to the type of donation
whether related or unrelated.
Methods: Fifty (50) patients aged (15-62) years, with a
mean age (34.46 ± 12.4 SD) years with (ESRD), who
underwent renal transplantation from September 2000 to
October 2002, were followed-up for one month
postoperatively clinically and by assessment of renal
function tests, sonographic and Doppler examinations.
Ureteral obstruction was considered in those patients who
had allograft dysfunction, ultrasonic evidence of
peritransplant collection, moderate-severe dilatation of
upper urinary tract of transplanted kidney and
postoperative ipsilateral or bilateral leg edema. Ureteral
leakage was considered in those patients who had
persistent drainage of urine with or without allograft
dysfunction. Two patients were excluded from the followup due to death in the first 24-hour postoperatively.
Results: Six (6) patients (12.5% of cases) developed
ureteral obstruction due to peri-ureteral fluid collection. In
five patients the collection decreased and upper urinary
tract dilatation improved gradually, as shown by
ultrasound, on watchful waiting. One patient had surgical
evacuation of a large hematoma. Four (4) patients (8.3%
of cases) developed ureteral leakage. The leakage stopped
in one patient after keeping the urethral catheter for a
longer period. Three patients had surgical exploration due
to persistent urinary leakage. Redo implantation of
allograft ureter was done in two cases.
Development of ureteral complications was compared
with the type of donation (related or unrelated). The
comparison was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: The development of ureteral
complications in not related to the type of donation.
Extravesical ureteral anastamosis with the use of a stent is
less likely to be associated with postoperative ureteral
complications.
Every cultural achievement is a creative text, and every text is a group of signs. The Winged Bull sculpture is a sort of text that is not confined to some signs; indeed, its cultural signs go far beyond as they are open-ended, everlasting and it lends itself to various horizons of interpretation. The recipient has to combine the signs of this sculpture, which belong to different patterns, in the pursuit for perfection so that he can decode its media message.
I have tackled this sculpture by adopting a semiotic approach. The semiotic approach is a modern critical approach which is as wide as culture and as rich as knowledge. It has been linked to modernism, which in turn has been linked to modern critical approaches, because it can
The intervention in the military institute represents a great role in the Nigerian
political life since 1960. There are many reasons behind this domination. The First is that
many African militants participated in liberating their countries from colonization. The
second is that they tried to stay in power as long as they could stay through the rule of one
party.
There fore, they depend on the process of political and economic reform to get rid of
military rule that dominated the Nigerian Political life to be a civilian state

Christianity rejected abortion, since its inception, it took a luck against abortion, although there is no mention of it in the Bible, as there is no explicit text for abortion in the Old or New Testament and that the early Christians considered abortion a sin in all stages, and beliefs included abortion as an act of murder. What is forbidden in the Ten Commandments is “Thou shalt not kill”, and it is understood that killing here is either plundering one’s personal life (suicide) or stealing another person’s life (killing), or stealing the life of a person who has not yet been born (aborting fetuses). Based on the above, it was necessary for individuals to search for (Abortion in the Christian Religion / Descriptive Study) The resea

Because it documents the cultural heritage of any country through the structural structure of the sculptural form, and its connotations and symbols, which are considered an effective aesthetic image in the crystallization of various intellectual concepts and contents.
Therefore, the study aimed to know the employment of the popular imagination in the artistic works of the sculptor (Muhammad Ghani Hikmat), as well as to reveal the artistic and aesthetic features of the folklore and its reflection on its artistic style. And the references

During the first half of the 20th century, the cinema had great interest from the major countries and their politicians, as well as the commercial turnout of large companies to invest in that field for the profits. In the beginning of the 20th century, the major powers like the Soviet Union, the United States, Germany, Italy, England, and France started to compete in the development of their film industry and the investment of the new medium and the transformation of some famous works of fiction into films that perpetuate their cultur
