A prospective study was performed to assess the practice of antibiotic prophylaxis for surgical procedures in Pamukkale University Hospital, Denizli, Turkey. All surgical procedures performed between April 1 and July 31, 2001, were included. During the study period 897 operations were reviewed. 96% of all procedures were elective, 4% emergencies. Approximately 70.7% were clean surgery, 25.3% clean-contaminated, 2.8% contaminated, and 1.2% dirty. 98% of patients (879) received antibiotic prophylaxis. Although timing of prophylaxis was appropriate in all procedures, the duration of prophylaxis was optimal in only 47.7% of all cases. Sulbactam/ampicillin (SAM), cefazolin and cefepime were the most commonly used antibiotics during the study period. The results of our study suggest that the choice of prophylactic antimicrobial agent was inappropriate in most cases. In conclusion, we think that compliance regarding the optimal choice, frequency, and duration of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is not adequate in our hospital, and that more education on the subject is necessary.

In last 10 years, while tuberculosis (TB) incidence is declining in Turkey, preventive treatment cases are increasing. Related with national guidelines, analysis of data in the field is required. <b>Aim:</b> We aimed to analyze the causes and results of TB preventive therapy in Ankara 5th TB Dispensary. 1999-2012 preventive treatment data of this dispensary evaluated retrospectively; in this period new preventive therapy proposals were put forward for close contacts and immunosupressed patients. <b>Method:</b> In Turkey, preventive treatment (registration, follow up, completion) is managed by TB dispensaries. In this study, by analyzing individual records of cases , we evaluated the causes of beginning chemoprophylaxis and completion results. <b>Results:</b> In 14 years, totally 3796 persons registered for preventive therapy, 2036 (56,9%) of them were close contacts. 1364 (35,9%) tuberculin skin test positive (TST +) children (15 years and younger) were the second majority group. 332 (8,7%) patients who underwent immunosupressive treatment were the third group and 268 (80,7%) of them were anti TNF drug users. 2016 cases were treated with Izoniasid and 20 with Rifampisin (either izoniazid resistance of index case or side effects related with izoniazid) Preventive treatment completion rates of close contacts 81,2% ; TST (+) children 94,1 %; immunosuppressed patients 83,4 % and treatment failure rates 11,7% ; 4,2% ; 6,9% respectively. 9 cases were diagnosed TB during preventive therapy and 6 cases after completion; 13(86,6%) of them were close contacts. <b>Conclusion:</b> Although chemoprophylaxis completion rates were high in general, results show that we need more collaboration for reducing preventive treatment failure and new health policies about latent TB infection.

To prevent acute or chronic rejection in renal transplant recipients, immunosuppressive treatments are applied. However, immunosuppressive treatments increase the risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in efficacy and cost of prophylactic and preemptive treatment strategies applied in respect of CMV infection to renal transplant recipients.&#x0D; Methods. Patients who underwent renal transplantation in our center between 2010 and 2015, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were allocated in two groups as those who received prophylaxis or preemptive treatment. A record was made of the kidney function tests (KFT), CMV PCR copy numbers, the presence of CMV infection, antiviral treatments received, and the costs were calculated of the tests and treatments. The groups were compared in respect of CMV infection and costs.&#x0D; Results. A total of 71 patients with a median age of 38 years (range, 19-74 years) were included in the study. The prophylaxis group included 43 patients and the preemptive group included 28 patients. CMV infection was detected in 7 (16.3%) of the prophylaxis group and 2 (7.1%) patients of the preemptive group (p=0.467). The cost per month of the tests and treatment was lower in the preemptive group than in the prophylaxis group (p&lt;0.001).&#x0D; Conclusion. No significant difference was determined between the prophylactic and preemptive treatment protocols in respect of the CMV infection in the intermediate-risk group renal transplantation recipients. Preemptive treatment was seen to be a more cost-effective method than prophylactic treatment in Turkey.

<b>Aim:</b> Tuberculosis risk has been defined to increase in liver transplant(LT) recipients. This is especially important in high endemic areas, like Turkey. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of TB and evaluate the clinical characteristics of TB patients in LT recipients. <b>Methods:</b> All patients who underwent LT between January 2004 and December 2013 and whose data was accessible were included in the study. Demographic features, previous TB history, clinical and radiological findings, Tuberculin skin test (TST) results and TB occurrence of the candidates were evaluated. <b>Results:</b> Four hundred-three patients had LT by this time. Mean age was 47.27±11.04; 280 (69.47%) were males. Mean MELD score was 16.30±6.54. Previous TB history, contact with an active TB patient and smoking were asked to 214 (53.10%), 211 (52.35%) and 212(52.61%) of the patients respectively. TST was administered to 108(25,91%) and Quantiferon TB test to 1 of them. TST positivity was determined in 28(25.93%), median TST values were found 7 (min0-max25) mm. Chemoprophylaxis was not recommended to any of LT candidates. In the postransplant period 5 patients (1.24%) developed TB over a median duration of 14 (min7-max84) months. <b>Conclusion:</b> TB prevalence of LT recipients of our center is similar with the current literature. In the early post transplant period it was difficult to handle TB treatment of our patients. LTBI screening including risk factor assessment, TST/ Quantiferon TB testing, and regular recording and follow-up should be considered in the management of transplant recipients.

Background: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease with an unknown etiology influences mainly the axial skeleton, as well as peripheral joints, enthesis and extra-articular systems. Clinical characteristics of antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents-related tuberculosis (TB) in AS are not well described. The aim of this study was to present the follow-up results of a single center from Turkey, a country with a high rate of active and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), for INH chemoprophylaxis in patients receiving anti-TNF-α therapy for AS infection. Methods & Materials: In this study, patients who received an anti-TNF agent for AS were evaluated for the presence of active infection or LTBI by a chest X-ray and a tuberculin skin test. Patients with LTBI were given chemoprophylaxis 1 month prior to commencement of anti-TNF treatment. All patients were followed-up bimonthly for any signs of pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB. New cases of TB were identified by reviewing the medical records of 164 patients with AS treated with (TNF-α) blockers; adalimumab (n = 68), infliximab (n = 39), or etanercept (n = 53) between 2003 and 2012. Demographics data, the presence of HLA-B27 positivity, PPD, urine analysis prior to urine culture for mycobacterium tuberculosis, disease and (TNF-α) blockers treatment duration and INH chemoprophylaxis were recorded. Results: A total of 164 patients, 57 female (34.5%) and 107 male (65.5%), with a mean age of 41.0 ± 13.1 years (18-78) were enrolled in the study. The presence of HLA-B27 was positive in 72 patients (43.6%); negative in 29 patients (17.6%); undefined in 64 patients (38.8%). LTBI was identified overall 99 patients all of whom received chemoprophylaxis those of 76 (46.1%) for 9 months, 9 (5.5%) for 6 months. Only 6 patients (3.6%) received chemoprophylaxis for 3 months due to INH hepathotoxicity. Only 2 patients received chemoprophylaxis for 9 months developed urinary tract tuberculosis at 21 (Adalimumab) and 24 (Etanercept) months, (PPD with 12 mm; PPD with 13 mm) respectively. Urine culture for mycobacterium tuberculosis was positive in both patients. Conclusion: Our results suggest that urinary tract tuberculosis in both patients was a new tuberculosis infection rather than a reactivation of latent tuberculosis.

Turkey is a country with intermediate tuberculosis (TB) prevalence (24 cases per 100,000 population) where BCG vaccination is mandatory. Immunocompromised patients are at risk for TB infection. However, tuberculin skin test (TST) has limitations in immunocompromised patients while diagnosing latent TB infection (LTBI) and commencing isoniazid (INH) chemoprophylaxis. After 2000 consensus statements recommended INH prophylaxis in higher risk patients with a cut-off TST value of 5 mm. This retrospective study was conducted to determine the frequency of TB in HSCT recipients and the role of chemoprophylaxis with different cut-off values of TST (<5 mm, 5 to 10 mm, 10 to 20 mm, and ≥20 mm) in a region with intermediate TB prevalence. Five hundred and ninety two patients [320 (54 %) autologous and 272 (46 %) allogeneic] transplanted at our center between September 2003 and July 2014 and survived for ≥100 days post-transplantation were included. The median age was 51 years-old (range 16-71) in autologous and 29 years-old (range 15-64) in allogeneic HSCT recipients. The decision to initiate INH prophylaxis was usually based on universal guidelines however modifications were also made at the discretion of the pulmonologist responsible for the pre-transplantation consultation or the new released guidelines. Anergy was defined as any reaction size of 0 to 2 mm in diameter. BCG scar data was available in 148 of 320 autologous (46.3 %) and 133 of 272 (48.9 %) allogeneic HSCT recipients. Distribution of positive BCG scar and INH prophylaxis with respect to TST values are given in table. Anergy was detected in 141 (44.1 %) of autologous and 124 (45.7 %) of allogeneic HSCT recipients. Positive BCG vaccination scar data was available in 47% of anergic patients. Ninety-two (28.8%) of autologous and 64 (23.5 %) of allogeneic HSCT recipients received INH prophylaxis. None of the allogeneic HSCT recipients and 1 in 320 (0.3 %) patients in autologous HSCT developed TB. This patient was TST anergic prior to transplantation and was not on chemoprophylaxis. Our data showed low frequency of TB after HSCT despite variable chemoprophylaxis practices. Recent guidelines recommended reduction of TST threshold to 5 mm in higher risk patients. However our results suggest that these general guidelines do not apply to all patients and all regions.TableDistribution of BCG scar positivity and presence of INH prophylaxis with respect to TST valuesAutologous HSCTAllogeneic HSCTN=320N=272TST valuePositive BCG scar/INH prophylaxis/total # of patientsPositive BCG scar/INH prophylaxis/total # of patients0-4, 9 mm68/13 /15370/10/ 1375- 9, 9 mm21/14/ 3724/16/ 3310- 19, 9 mm53/56/ 8731/29/ 57≥ 20 mm5/9/ 177/7/ 8data not available2637 Open table in a new tab

Introduction: Malaria is among the most significant travel-related infections encountered by travelers to endemic countries in terms of morbidity and mortality. In Qatar, imported malaria has increased over the last 5 years; 493 travel-related cases were confirmed in 2016. In the current study, the knowledge of malaria chemoprophylaxis among physicians in the State of Qatar was assessed. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted during a national travel health workshop at the Ministry of Public Health, Qatar. Physicians participating in the workshop from different national healthcare institutions providing travel medicine services were invited to voluntarily complete a self-administered, structured questionnaire. Results: Forty-two medical doctors participated in the study (92 response rate). Based on their specialty, almost two-thirds (64.3%) of the participants were family medicine physicians, and one-fifth (21.43%) were general practitioners. Furthermore, most of the doctors were untrained in travel medicine. The majority of participants demonstrated a good knowledge of the malaria parasite (100%), Plasmodium species (64.3%), incidence (83.3%), transmission (66.7%), and drug-resistance (95.2%) of malaria. Additionally, most physicians (>90) were knowledgeable about the major features of severe or complicated malaria as well as malaria prevention and chemoprophylaxis. Conclusion: This study highlights several areas of good knowledge on travel-related malaria prophylaxis and prevention among the study participants; however, there are still a few knowledge gaps that require mitigation. Continuing training programs on malaria prevention in travelers will sustain this good level of knowledge among physicians and improve the quality of pre-travel advice provided by travel medicine practitioners in Qatar.

Imported malaria is increasing in nonendemic countries, including the State of Qatar, mainly as a result of the influx of immigrant workers. A retrospective chart review of 153 malaria cases identified at Hamad General Hospital during 2000-2602 is used to emphasise the scale of the problem especially the need to create greater public awareness that travellers to malarious areas must take suitable precautions including appropriate chemoprophylaxis.

This chapter concentrates on bacterial meningitis. The reported incidence of neonatal meningitis varies with diagnostic practice, changes in prevalent organisms, rates of prematurity and the use of intrapartum maternal antibiotic chemoprophylaxis to reduce GBS infection. Most cases of neonatal meningitis are thought to result from bacteraemia. The evidence for this statement comes from animal models such as infant rats. GBS was the most commonly reported organism causing meningitis in case series from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Trinidad, West Indies and was an important cause in case series from Thailand and Kenya. The common clinical manifestations of the disease are: bulging fontanelle, seizures, and neck stiffness. Diagnosis involves testing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters such as CSF white cell count and CSF glucose levels.

Abstract Background There is a growing body of evidence showing substantial underuse of appropriate venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients at risk. In the present study, our goal was to assess the current practices in the use rate of VTE prophylaxis among hospitalized patients in Jordan and Lebanon. Methods A cross-sectional, multicenter, observational study was conducted on 40 centers across Lebanon and Jordan. We included patients who were admitted to the participating hospitals for the treatment of a serious medical or surgical illness. The patients’ records were screened for the fulfillment of inclusion/exclusion criteria during a single assessment visit. The proportion of medical and surgical patients who were at risk of VTE and the thrombo-prophylactic measures employed by physicians for these patients were assessed according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP 2016) guidelines. Results The present study included 704 patients (400 from Jordan and 304 from Lebanon) with a mean age of 54.9 ± 17.5 years. Almost 59% of the patients received prophylaxis treatment in form of pharmacological anticoagulant prophylaxis and/or mechanical prophylaxis. Low molecular weight heparin was the most commonly used anticoagulant for VTE prophylaxis in 366 out of the total 704 (51.9%) patients in the analysis cohort. Two hundred and sixteen patients (52, 95% confidence interval [47.1–56.9%]) received appropriate prophylactic agents out of 415 patients who were eligible for prophylaxis according to the ACCP 2016 guidelines. On the other hand, 199 (72.1, 95% confidence interval [66.4–77.3%) patients received prophylaxis out of 276 ineligible patients. The rate of compliance to guidelines showed wide variations according to the type of hospital, specialty, and the patients’ age. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only age was a significant predictor of appropriate VTE prophylaxis (odds ratio [OR] 1.05, P &lt; 0.001). Conclusion The rates of the appropriate use of VTE prophylaxis are low in Lebanon and Jordan. There is a lack of compliance to guidelines for VTE prophylaxis use for hospitalized patients in both countries.

Venous thromboembolism is a common complication and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Patients with malignancies have a four-fold greater risk of venous thromboembolism compared with patients without malignancies. Underuse of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis persists, despite guidelines supporting its use in hospitalized cancer patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of DVT prophylaxis and its appropriateness in hospitalized cancer patients. This retrospective study included cancer patients admitted to Rafik Hariri University Hospital, a tertiary referral center in Beirut, Lebanon, over 2-month period, who were hospitalized for at least 2 days. We evaluated the use of anticoagulants for DVT prophylaxis in the absence of contraindications for their use. The risk factor profiles of the patients were reported in addition to the choice of the anticoagulant and the use of mechanical prophylaxis in patients with contraindications to anticoagulation. One hundred and thirty patients were studied out of which 34 (26.2%) had contraindications to anticoagulation use. In addition, 21 patients out of 95 (22.1%) who qualified for DVT prophylaxis received pharmacologic DVT prophylaxis. Enoxaparin was the most frequently prescribed anticoagulant (76.2% of the patients). Of those who received anticoagulation, only 47.6% received appropriate agent and dose. Among patients with contraindications to anticoagulation, only three (8.8%) received mechanical devices as nonpharmacologic DVT prophylaxis. DVT prophylaxis in hospitalized cancer patients is significantly underutilized. Several options are available to increase physicians' awareness of the problem.

Abstract Background There is a growing body of evidence showing substantial underuse of appropriate venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients at risk. In the present study, our goal was to assess the current practices in the use rate of VTE prophylaxis among hospitalized patients in Jordan and Lebanon. Methods A cross-sectional, multicenter, observational study was conducted on 40 centers across Lebanon and Jordan. We included patients who were admitted to the participating hospitals for the treatment of a serious medical or surgical illness. The patients’ records were screened for the fulfillment of inclusion/exclusion criteria during a single assessment visit. The proportion of medical and surgical patients who were at risk of VTE and the thrombo-prophylactic measures employed by physicians for these patients were assessed according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP 2016) guidelines. Results The present study included 704 patients (400 from Jordan and 304 from Lebanon) with a mean age of 54.9 ±17.5 years. Almost 59% of the patients received prophylaxis treatment in form of pharmacological anticoagulant prophylaxis and/or mechanical prophylaxis. Low molecular weight heparin was the most commonly used anticoagulant for VTE prophylaxis in 366 out of the total 704 (51.9%) patients in the analysis cohort. Two hundred and sixteen patients (52 %, 95% confidence interval [47.1% - 56.9%]) received appropriate prophylactic agents out of 415 patients who were eligible for prophylaxis according to the ACCP 2016 guidelines. On the other hand, 199 (72.1%, 95% confidence interval [66.4% – 77.3%) patients received prophylaxis out of 276 ineligible patients.. The rate of compliance to guidelines showed wide variations according to the type of hospital, specialty, and the patients’ age. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only age was a significant predictor of appropriate VTE prophylaxis (odds ratio [OR] 1.05, P &lt;0.001). Conclusion The rates of the appropriate use of VTE prophylaxis are low in Lebanon and Jordan. There is a lack of compliance to guidelines for VTE prophylaxis use for hospitalized patients in both countries.

Background QTc interval prolongation has been reported when combining fluoroquinolones and triazoles for chemoprophylaxis in cancer patients. Herein, we aimed to identify the prevalence and contributing factors to QTc prolongation in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients who received these agents during the neutropenic phase. Methods This is a retrospective medical chart review conducted at a university hospital in Lebanon from 2017 to 2020. It included all adult HCT inpatients on antimicrobial prophylaxis with fluoroquinolones and triazoles and whose baseline ECG monitoring done prior to chemoprophylaxis administration, then on day-3 and day-6 of therapy, were available. Results Overall, 68 HCT recipients met our inclusion criteria, of which 22% developed QTc prolongation. Based on bivariate analysis, female gender contributed to QTc prolongation ( P = 0.001). There was a trend to QTc prolongation in patients with predisposing thyroid disease ( P = 0.12), grade 2 vomiting and diarrhea ( P = 0.16, P = 0.46, respectively), baseline hypokalemia ( P = 0.18) and hypocalcemia ( P = 0.3), hypomagnesemia on day-3 ( P = 0.21) and day-6 hyponatremia ( P = 0.36). Patients receiving two or more drugs with a known or probable risk of QTc prolongation (other than the fluoroquinolone/ triazole combination) were more prone to experience a prolonged QTc interval ( P = 0.09). None of the patients that had QTc prolongation died or developed serious arrhythmias. Conclusion The prevalence of QTc prolongation was 22% among HCT recipients on fluoroquinolone and triazole prophylaxis, yet we did not identify any independent risk factors for this issue. None of the patients that had QTc interval prolongation died or developed serious arrhythmias.

Introduction: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ( KSA) suffered an outbreak of malaria in 1998, Effective strategies to shrink the malaria map were carried out. Aim: to through light on recent reports of malaria disease in KSA from 2011 till 2016.Methodology: The present study searched the previous publications in the last five years from 2011 till 2016 about malaria in the KSA. Then the collected data were arranged accordingly into:1 The geographical distribution and prevalence of malaria in Saudi Arabia. 2. The species of Plasmodium present. 3. Clinical presentation in different areas in the kingdom 4. Methods of diagnosis used. 5. Methods of treatment in kingdom. 6. Methods used to control malaria in KSA. Study design: Review article , Peroid of time: Four months. Data Source: Data for this review were identified by literature searches of PubMed and general searches using the Google and WHO search engines. Also, National Library of Medicine via the PubMed and MEDLINE were used for research articles, reviews, books, and other reports. We searched by using key word searches such as “malaria” and “Saudi Arabia”. Results: The number of malaria cases in Saudi Arabia decreased between 2011 and 2016.. Incidence continued to be reported at low levels (between 0.01 and 0.1 per 1,000 of the population) with: P. falciparum predominantly, remainder was P. vivax .species. Artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine were the first line treatment. Chloroquine showed resistance. Chemoprophylaxis and mosquito avoidance were recommended. Conclusion: Malaria control has reduced the incidence of disease over the last 15 years, there are only few cases in rural areas of Jeddah, Al Jouf and Jizan emirates by border of Yemen, reported in 2016. Saudi Arabia is on the way to eradicate malaria.

Introduction . Malaria had been eliminated in Tunisia since 1979, but there are currently 40 to 50 imported cases annually. Soldiers are no exception as the incidence of imported malaria is increasing in Tunisian military personnel after returning from malaria-endemic area, often in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods . We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and biological presentations, treatment, and outcomes of 37 Tunisian military personnel hospitalized at the Department of Internal Medicine, the Military Hospital of Tunis, between January 1993 and January 2011, for imported malaria. The clinical and laboratory features were obtained from the medical records and a questionnaire was filled by the patients about the compliance of malaria prophylaxis. Results . Thirty-seven male patients, with a mean age of 41 years, were treated for malaria infection. Twenty-two were due to Plasmodium falciparum . The outcome was favourable for all patients, despite two severe access. The long-term use of chemoprophylaxis has been adopted by only 21 (51%) of expatriate military for daily stresses. Moreover, poor adherence was found in 32 patients. Conclusion . The risk of acquiring malaria infection in Tunisian military personnel can largely be prevented by the regular use of chemoprophylactic drugs combined with protective measures against mosquito bites.

The screening of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is necessary to prevent infection in patients with chronic inflammatory disease (CID) undergoing biological treatment. We aimed to assess the efficacy of LTBI screening prior to biological treatment in Tunisia, considered as a high-incidence area of active TB disease. We conducted a retrospective study over a period of 8 years [2007–2014] including patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism receiving biologic agents since at least 6 months. The screening of LTBI was performed according to national Tunisian guidelines. There were 35 men and 78 women. The mean age was 47.67 ± 13.50 years. Rheumatoid arthritis (70.8%) was the most common cause of CID. The diagnosis of LTBI was established in 23 cases. Among these 23 patients, 12 patients had negative tuberculin skin test (TST) associated with positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G), 10 had TST more than 10 mm, one patient had a TST between 5 and 10 mm associated with positive QFT-G and one patient had a history of tuberculosis inadequately treated. Preventive anti-tuberculous therapy was prescribed before biological therapy initiation in cases of LTBI. During the follow-up period (3.91 years), no case of tuberculosis reactivation has been reported among patients diagnosed with LTBI. However, 2 cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in patients with initially negative TST and QFT-G. Our study showed that the Tunisian recommendations allowed detecting a LTBI in 20% of biologic therapy candidates. Preventive measures including screening of LTBI and eventually a prophylactic treatment improve the safety of biological treatments. Le dépistage de la tuberculose latente (TBL) est nécessaire chez les patients atteints de maladies inflammatoires chroniques et candidats à un traitement biologique afin de prévenir la survenue de la tuberculose maladie. L’objectif de ce travail était d’évaluer l’efficacité du dépistage de la TBL avant l’instauration d’un traitement biologique dans un pays à haute incidence de tuberculose comme la Tunisie. Nous avons conduit une étude rétrospective sur une période de 8 ans [2007–2014] ayant inclus tous les patients sous biothérapie depuis une période supérieure à 6 mois. Le dépistage de la TBL a été effectué selon les recommandations nationales tunisiennes. Il s’agissait de 35 hommes et 78 femmes. L’âge moyen était de 47,67 ± 13,5. La polyarthrite rhumatoïde était la maladie inflammatoire chronique la plus fréquente (70,8 %). Le diagnostic de TBL a été retenu dans 23 cas. Parmi ces 23 patients, 12 patients avaient une intradermoréaction réaction à la tuberculine (IDR) négative et un test QuantiFERON (QTF) positif, dix patients avaient une IDR supérieure à 10 mm, un patient avait une IDR entre 5 et 10 mm et un test QTF positif et un patient avait un antécédent de tuberculose maladie non correctement traitée. Une chimioprophylaxie a été prescrite avant l’instauration du traitement biologique dans tous les cas de TBL. Durant le suivi (3,91 ans), aucun cas de réactivation tuberculeuse n’a été rapporté parmi les patients ayant une TBL. En revanche, une tuberculose pulmonaire a été notée chez 2 patients qui avaient initialement une IDR et un test QTF négatifs. Notre étude a montré que les recommandations tunisiennes ont permis de détecter la TBL chez 20 % des patients candidats à un traitement biologique. Des mesures préventives incluant le dépistage de la TBL et éventuellement un traitement prophylactique permettraient d’améliorer la tolérance des traitements biologiques.

The prevalence and possible risk factors for anaemia were investigated in 744 pregnant Sudanese women attending the antenatal clinic of New Halfa teaching hospital, eastern Sudan between October 2003 and April 2004. Of those, 466 (62.6%) had anaemia (haemoglobin [Hb]: <11 gm/dl); 52.4% had mild anaemia (Hb: 9.0-10.9 gm/dl); 8.1% had moderate anaemia (Hb: 7.0-8.9 gm/dl); and 2.2% had severe anaemia (Hb: <7 gm/dl), respectively. The prevalence of anaemia (73.2%) was significantly high in grandmultigravidae. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that age and parity were not significantly associated with anaemia. Malaria (OR = 4.5, 95% CI 2.5-8.1; P < 0.0001) and pica (OR = 1.6, 95% CI 1.05-2.6; P = 0.03) were the risk factors for anaemia. Thus, preventive measures against malaria (chemoprophylaxis and insecticide-treated bednets) may be needed for all pregnant women irrespective of their age or parity.

Four villages in Kordofan Province of the Sudan were selected by the authors to determine the effectiveness of mass prophylactic treatment with sulfa drugs and penicillin in controlling cerebrospinal meningitis epidemics in rural areas with highly primitive living conditions. Sulfadimidine was given orally in two of the villages, and procaine penicillin G in oil with 2% aluminium monostearate (PAM) was given intramuscularly in the other two. The population of the villages was classified by age and by sex and given the following prophylactic doses: in Kaldung village, where 93% of the population was treated, 4 g of sulfadimidine were given to persons over 15 years of age, 2.5 g to those between 15 and 5, and 1.5 g to those under 5; in Korongo Abdulla, the same age-groups received 2.0 g, 1.0 g, and 0.5 g, respectively, and 34% of the population was treated; in El Machicha and Miri Bara villages, PAM was given to 38% and 90% of the respective populations in the dosage of 150,000 units to those over 15 years of age, 100,000 units to those between 15 and 5, and 75,000 to those under 5.In this campaign, some 4,000 people were examined daily and, where necessary, treated by a medical staff of four with five trained assistant dressers. The drugs had a noticeable influence on the number of cases in the protected groups, which showed an incidence of 4.86 cases per 1,000 of the total population of the 4 villages against 17.68 cases per 1,000 in the unprotected groups. The authors point out that in the Sudan it is not possible to take a neighbouring village as the control unit, since each village is an epidemic unit in itself and the results from treated and untreated would thus not be comparable. It was therefore decided to take that portion of the village population which did not receive treatment as the control series. The conditions under which the controls lived were, as regards environment and exposure to infection, strictly comparable to those of the treated persons. The results were similar with sulfa drugs and with penicillin.The authors conclude that mass chemoprophylaxis with sulfonamides or penicillin of populations living under primitive conditions is effective in the group treated, whatever the stage of the epidemic at the time of treatment, but that there is no reason to assume that it influences the development of the epidemic. There is no clear explanation why the groups protected did not become reinfected, but it is thought that this was perhaps due to the development of a low-grade immunity in previous carriers cleared by the prophylactic treatment.

Abstract Successful development of a chemoprophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 could provide a tool for infection prevention implementable alongside vaccination programmes. Camostat and nafamostat are serine protease inhibitors that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 viral entry in vitro but have not been characterised for chemoprophylaxis in animal models. Clinically, nafamostat is limited to intravenous delivery and while camostat is orally available, both drugs have extremely short plasma half-lives. This study sought to determine whether intranasal dosing at 5 mg/kg twice daily was able to prevent airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from infected to uninfected Syrian golden hamsters. SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was above the limits of quantification in both saline- and camostat-treated hamsters 5 days after cohabitation with a SARS-CoV-2 inoculated hamster. However, intranasal nafamostat-treated hamsters remained RNA negative for the full 7 days of cohabitation. Changes in body weight over the course of the experiment were supportive of a lack of clinical symptomology in nafamostat-treated but not saline- or camostat-treated animals. These data are strongly supportive of the utility of intranasally delivered nafamostat for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection and further studies are underway to confirm absence of pulmonary infection and pathological changes.

Toxoplasma gondii has arisen as an important opportunistic agent especially in the central nervous system and in advanced HIV disease can cause significant morbidity and mortality. This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among HIV-positive patients in Iran. Blood samples were collected from 201 HIV-positive patients and anti-toxoplasma antibodies were detected by using conventional ELISA. An antibody titer of >3 IU/ml was considered positive. The majority of studied patients were male (male to female ratio: 5 to 1) with the mean age of 36 ± 1 yrs. The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in HIV-positive patients was 49.75%. The mean CD4 count in HIV patients with positive toxoplasma serology was 332.5 ± 22.4 cells/µl. Only 1% of the patients had IgM anti-toxoplasma antibodies and 10% of the patients had clinical toxoplasma encephalitis. The mean CD4 count in this group was 66.4 ± 15.5 cells/µl and there was a significant association between CD4 count and rate of toxoplasma encephalitis (P<0.001). Previous reports suggested that toxoplasma encephalitis could be prevented by appropriate chemoprophylaxis. In view of the relatively high prevalence of toxoplasma infection found among the HIV-infected patients in our study, we suggest that routine screening for toxoplasma should be undertaken for all HIV-infected patients in Iran.

Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS or S. agalactiae) is a major cause of severe disease in neonates. In perinatal infections or early-onset disease, GBS is transmitted vertically to the newborn from the birth canal during labor and delivery. Limited information is available on the prevalence of GBS recto-vaginal colonization among pregnant women in Iran. Methods: We performed a systematic search by using different electronic databases including Medline (via Pubmed), Embase, Web of Science and Iranian Database. Meta-analysis was performed by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (Biostat V2.2) software. Results: Of 250 articles published from January 2000 to September 2016, 25 studies that reported incidence of GBS colonization in pregnant women were included in this review. The meta-analyses showed that the prevalence of GBS colonization among Iranian pregnant women was 9.8% (95% confidence interval, 7.9–12). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that GBS screening measures and chemoprophylaxis guidelines concerning GBS infections must be established for pregnant women in Iran, and these guidelines must provide guidance for obstetricians, midwives and neonatologists on the prevention of GBS infections.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite, and causes zoonotic infection. Human latent toxoplasmosis occurs in about half the world's population though most cases are asymptomatic. Toxoplasma encephalitis (TE) has become one of the more frequent opportunistic infection in HIV infected patients. Methods: This retrospective and descriptive study was carried out at the Referral Behavioral Counseling and Modification Center in Shiraz, Iran. We were able to review the medical records of 208 HIV infected patients. They were examined and their records were screened via the standardized data collection sheet for demographic characteristics. Diagnoses of TE based on the presence of at least two of the following findings: a history of neurological symptoms, neurological signs, suggestive CT, clinical and radiological response to antitoxoplasmosis medication. Results: The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among 208 HIV/AIDS patients was (18.2%) (38 patients) while 4 (10.4%) and 34 (89.6%) subjects showed Toxoplasma seropositivity with and without TE respectively. The majority of these patients were in the 25-34 age group, male, unemployed, single and residence in Shiraz, southern Iran. Conclusion: Toxoplasmosis is a silent disease, which poses many diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Based on findings of this study, we support a screening program of Toxoplasma infection. Primary chemoprophylaxis should be routinely given to all HIV infected with Toxoplasma seropositive status. Also HIV infected individuals with Toxoplasma seronegative status may be advised about preventive behavioral practice.

Despite all recent treatment advances and the worldwide decline in the incidence rate, gastric cancer (GC) remains an ongoing global health challenge and one of the major leading causes of cancer-specific deaths, particularly in high-incidence regions including Iran. Since GC is often diagnosed in advanced stages, the best action may be to enable early diagnosis of the disease or even prevent it in the first place through identification and control of the underlying risk factors. Endoscopy, as the gold standard method, is both expensive and invasive, making it an unfavorable device in this regard. Therefore, it is crucial to implement a reliable region-specific screening and surveillance program to identify high-risk individuals with more efficient screening modalities. Here, in addition to a review of current GC knowledge, we presented the data of newly-established Population-based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) in Iran. Our assessment confirmed earlier reports of a very high GC incidence rate in the northwestern and northern provinces of Iran, most notably Ardabil. Along with the important role of conventional risk factors such as Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and high dietary intake of salt, of more interest, we highlighted new region-specific risk factors, namely hookah, and opium. In conclusion, it seems the best results in reducing GC incidence and mortality rates on larger scales arise from modifying behavioral and environmental risk factors and advancing genetic and molecular biomarkers in order to supersede endoscopy. Regular endoscopic screening and antibiotic chemoprophylaxis against HP are still more appropriate in high-risk groups with specified criteria.

Objectives: To establish a baseline of a hospital's problem, it is recommended to conduct a surveillance of clean (class I) surgical procedures. The present study was conducted to determine the infection rate of clean surgical procedures and to estimate the magnitude of nosocomial infection in some Iranian university hospitals. Materials and Methods: A total of 845 clean surgical wound cases were screened for infection by standard microbiological investigations during a 9-month period of time. Results: The overall clean wound infection rate was found to be 4.9, which is comparable to the expected infection rate of 0.8. The most common organisms isolated were Staphylococcus epidermidis (74), Staphylococcus aureus (17) and Enterobacter aerogenes (5). The in-vitro sensitivity of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus to the common antimicrobial drugs showed that they were resistant to penicillin, ampicillin and amoxicillin. Our study revealed that the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics in preventing wound infection after clean surgical procedures is unquestioned. Conclusions: Having considered the high rate of clean wound infection, a high rate of hospital infection in the region might be inferred. This study calls for the need of a more organized and effective infection control program that includes active infection surveillance in Iran.

Background: Tuberculosis in children is one of the major causes of mortality in the third-world countries. Source of tuberculosis transmission to the children is infected adult patients with positive pulmonary smear who are in close contact with these children. This study conducted to reveal the rate of active tuberculosis among symptomatic close contact in children. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 124 children with symptoms and history of close contact with active tuberculosis between March 2000 and March 2002 in National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (NRITLD). Diagnostic criteria used for detection of childhood tuberculosis consisted of having at least three out of five following criteria: clinical symptoms, history of close contact, radiological findings, positive PPD test, and positive bacteriological or pathologic findings. Results: Of 124 cases, 65(52%) were female and 59(48%) were male. 68(55%) were Afghan refugees and 56(45%) were Iranian. All patients had positive clinical symptoms. 65(53%) of children had a PPD induration more than 10mm. Positive radiological findings (Chest-X-ray or Computed Tomography) were detected in 56(46%) cases. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from gastric washing fluid in 25(20%). Considering aforementioned criteria, 56(45%) patients were diagnosed as active tuberculosis while 68(55%) were received chemoprophylaxis. Among those with active disease, 23 had three positive criteria, 21 had four positive criteria, and 12 fulfilled whole criteria. Conclusion: Our results are important for the setting of priorities and rationalization of screening, chemoprophylaxis and early treatment measures, particularly among symptomatic close contacts in children. Multidisciplinary and multi-level approaches both by the government and private health care providers will have a positive impact on the childhood tuberculosis status in Iran.

Background: The emergence of HIV infection and its close association with TB poses an even greater challenge to the health systems and when co-infection is present, it is the most potent risk factor for progression of the disease to an active TB. This study was performed to determine the HIV-seropositive individuals with Mycobacterial infection referring to Center for Counseling and Behavioral Modification in Shiraz, southern Iran. Methods: From January 2004 to December 2006, 459 HIV-positive individuals who referred to Center for Counseling and Behavioral Modification in Shiraz, Southern Iran were enrolled. HIV antibody tests included ELISA and western blot tests, and the tests used for M. tuberculosis infection were PPD skin test, chest x-ray, Ziehl-Neelsen technique, culture in Lowenstein-Jensen medium and pathological examination. Results: 28.5% of HIV-positive individuals had a positive PPD skin test, among whom 89.3% showed a latent tuberculosis infection and 10.7% active tuberculosis. 7.9% of HIV positive patients had active tuberculosis including pulmonary (75.8%) and extrapulmonary types (24.2%). Among the latter cases, 62.5% had TB lymphadenitis, 25% pericarditis and 12.5% TB pleuritis. 40% of those with pulmonary tuberculosis and 50% with exptrapulmonary TB had a positive PPD skin test. Conclusion: As tuberculosis is a common opportunistic infection in HIV-positive patients in Iran with a higher prevalence of extrapulmonary type and the complex clinical presentation of disease, HIV-positive patients should be regularly screened for tuberculosis. Early recognition of latent tuberculosis infection and adequate chemoprophylaxis seem to be essential too.

Maternal recto-vaginal organisms are the main cause of early-onset sepsis in neonates. The aim of this study was to determine the most common organisms and compare maternal recto-vaginal colonization in term and preterm delivery.This cross-sectional study was done from October 2014 through October 2016 among participants referred to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital in Babol, Northern Iran. All pregnant women within gestational age (GA) ≥ 26 weeks and labor pain were included in this study. By a cotton applicator, culture from the lower third of the vagina and another one from the rectum were taken and transported by Stuart media to the laboratory, and were cultured on main Medias within 24 hours. Then microorganisms in preterm and term delivery were compared together. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16. The variables were compared between two groups by chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test and logistic regression. P<0.05 was statistically considered significant.Among 511 mothers with successful culturing, 417 delivered at term and 94 fewer than 37 weeks. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were the most abundant organisms. The frequency of E. coli in term and preterm delivery was 52.5% and 68.1% respectively (p=0.006). Group B strep was more frequent in term delivery (13.7% vs. 3.2%, p=0.004).Based on our findings, the frequency E. coli and other gram-negative bacteria were higher in preterm delivery groups which indicates the need to assess the efficacy of chemoprophylaxis in situations such as prolonged rupture of membrane, and preterm delivery.

Abstract Aim Patients with chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) are at a significant risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Surgeons should weigh the advantages versus disadvantages of anticoagulants in the postoperative period. Patients and Methods This study was a randomized clinical trial conducted in Isfahan, Iran, from May 2016 to April 2021. Patients with CSDH eligible for bur‐hole craniostomy were primarily enrolled. All of them underwent bilateral lower limb Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) screening. The patients were randomized into the case ( n = 66, enoxaparin initiation 24 h after operation) and control ( n = 70, enoxaparin initiation 72 h after operation) groups. Routine postoperative brain computed tomography scans were obtained 1 and 3 days after surgery. A second DUS was performed 96 h after operation to screen newly developed venous thrombosis; P value &lt;.05 was defined significant. Results A total of 73 patients (59.8%) were female and 49 (40.2%) were male. The mean age was 65.1 ± 10.19 years; 9.9% of the patients had previously used antiplatelets. One patient had asymptomatic preoperative DVT. The mean values for enoxaparin dosage were 40.4918 ± 5.43 mg/day. Postoperative DVT or rebleeding prevalence was 0% in both groups. The mean follow‐up duration was 19.139 ± 2.2 months. Long‐term recurrence rate was 2.4% ( n = 3). Postoperative pneumocephalus was associated with a higher recurrence rate ( P = .031). Conclusion In terms of VTE chemoprophylaxis, following bur‐hole craniostomy for CSDH, enoxaparin will effectively prevent VTE development without any clinically significant rebleeding.

Accidental kerosene ingestion is still a common problem in Libya. It causes considerable morbidity and occasionally mortality. The role and choice of antibacterial agents in its management remain unsettled. Pulmonary damage has been reported as resulting from aspiration. In aspiration pneumonia, anaerobic organisms may be important pathogens and metronidazole may have a place in therapy. The present randomized trial in 100 children with accidental kerosene ingestion assesses the role of ampicillin, carbenicillin and metronidazole in its management. The results are not conclusive but chemoprophylaxis appears to decrease morbidity. Of the various regimens used, the ampicillin/metronidazole combination was found to be slightly better than the others. Further study is recommended.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of hospital-related deaths worldwide. However, the proportion of patients at risk of VTE who receive appropriate prophylaxis in Egypt is unknown. The ENDORSE study in Egypt is part of a global initiative to uncover the incidence of high-risk surgical and medical patients and determine what proportion of these patients receive appropriate VTE prophylaxis.Ten Egyptian hospitals participated in this observational study, enrolling all surgical and medical patients that met the study criteria. This resulted in a cohort of 1,008 patients in acute care facilities who underwent a retrospective chart review. Each patient's VTE risk status and the presence or absence of appropriate prophylactic care was assessed according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines 2004.Of the 1,008 patients enrolled, 395 (39.2%) were found to be at high-risk for VTE. Overall, 227 surgical patients were at high-risk, although only 80 (35.2%) received ACCP-recommended prophylaxis. Similarly, 55/268 (32.75%) of high-risk medical patients received appropriate VTE prophylaxis. Low molecular weight heparin was the most commonly used anticoagulant, while mechanical prophylactic use was quite low (1.5%) in high-risk patients.In Egypt, more than one-third of all patients hospitalized for surgery or acute medical conditions are at high risk for developing VTE. However, only a small fraction of these patients receive appropriate VTE prophylaxis. Corrective measures are necessary for preventing VTE morbidity and mortality in these high risk patients.

Background Current international guidelines recommend 6–9 months of isoniazid (INH) preventive chemotherapy to prevent the development of active tuberculosis (TB) in susceptible children exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, this is dependent on good adherence, as shown by previous studies. Objectives This study was conducted to describe the outcome of screening of contact children aged 5 years or less with household exposure to an adult pulmonary TB index case to determine the prevalence and possible risk factors of infection among contact children and to determine the extent and outcome of adherence of contact children to unsupervised INH chemoprophylaxis for 6 months. Methods A descriptive facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2009 to August 2010. Research settings were three of the National TB control program chest dispensaries (primary care facilities) in Alexandria, Egypt. Facility-based TB treatment registers of the previous 3 months were used to identify all new adult pulmonary TB cases. All children aged 5 years or less living in the same house as the index cases were identified and screened for TB. The contact children were given unsupervised INH preventive chemotherapy once active TB was excluded. Adherence to and outcome of preventive chemotherapy were followed up. Preventive chemotherapy consisted of unsupervised INH monotherapy for 6 months with monthly collection of tablets from the clinic. Adherence was documented after completion of the 6-month preventive treatment period. Adherence was considered reasonable if tablets were collected for more than 4 months, poor if collected for 2–4 months, and very poor if collected for less than 2 months. Outcome measures (a) Prevalence of infection and disease and the possible risk factors among contacts. (b) The extent and outcome of adherence to unsupervised INH chemoprophylaxis among contact children. (c) Factors behind poor adherence. Results In total, 197 adult TB index cases from 187 households were identified. In all, 297 children aged 5 years or less experienced household exposure, of whom 252 (84.9%) were fully evaluated. Tuberculin test was positive in 136 of the 252 child contacts (54.0%), of whom 130 were contacts of sputum-positive patients and six were contacts of sputum-negative patients. The important risk factors for transmission of TB infection were younger age, male sex, severe malnutrition, absence of BCG vaccination, contact with a sputum-positive adult who was a source case, household overcrowding, and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Thirty-three children were diagnosed and treated for TB at the baseline screening and 217 received preventive INH chemotherapy. Of the children who received preventive chemotherapy, only 36 (16.6%) completed at least 4 months of unsupervised INH monotherapy. During the subsequent follow-up period, eight children developed TB (secondary attack rate for TB disease was 3.7%), of whom four received no preventive chemotherapy and four were poorly adherent. Conclusion The prevalence of TB infection and clinical disease among children in household contact with adult patients is high, and risk is significantly increased because of child contact, index patients and environmental factors. Adherence to 6 months of unsupervised INH chemoprophylaxis was very poor.

United States military personnel deployed to Somalia were at risk for malaria, including chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria. This report details laboratory, clinical, preventive, and therapeutic aspects of malaria in this cohort.The study took place in US military field hospitals in Somalia, with US troops deployed to Somalia between December 1992 and May 1993. Centralized clinical care and country-wide disease surveillance facilitated standardized laboratory diagnosis, clinical records, epidemiologic studies, and assessment of chemoprophylactic efficacy.Forty-eight cases of malaria occurred among US troops while in Somalia; 41 of these cases were P falciparum. Risk factors associated with malaria included: noncompliance with recommended chemoprophylaxis (odds ratio [OR] 2.4); failure to use bed nets (OR 2.6); and failure to keep sleeves rolled down (OR 2.2). Some patients developed malaria in spite of mefloquine (n = 8) or doxycycline (n = 5) levels of compatible with chemoprophylactic compliance. Five mefloquine failures had both serum levels > or = 650 ng/mL and metabolite:mefloquine ratios over 2, indicating chemoprophylactic failure. All cases were successfully treated, including 1 patient who developed cerebral malaria.P falciparum malaria attack rates were substantial in the first several weeks of Operation Restore Hope. While most cases occurred because of noncompliance with personal protective measures or chemoprophylaxis, both mefloquine and doxycycline chemoprophylactic failures occurred. Military or civilian travelers to East Africa must be scrupulous in their attention to both chemoprophylaxis and personal protection measures.

To identify malaria in US Marines returning from Somalia and to determine their compliance with chemoprophylaxis.Case series.The US Navy health care system.Consecutive sample of 106 US Marines diagnosed with malaria after returning from Somalia in 1993.Identification of the incidence and clinical features of imported malaria. Determination of compliance with chemoprophylaxis in this cohort.As of December 20, 1993, there were 112 cases of imported malaria in 106 US Marine Corps personnel returning from Somalia. Plasmodium vivax accounted for 97 (87%) of 112 malaria cases, and Plasmodium falciparum accounted for eight (7%) of 112 cases. Mixed infection with P vivax and P falciparum was noted in six (5%) of 112 cases, and a single case of Plasmodium malariae was identified. Patients with P falciparum malaria were diagnosed a mean of 20.9 days (range, 1 to 82 days) after returning to the United States compared with 91.8 days (range, 7 to 228 days) for P vivax infection (P < .0001). The self-reported chemoprophylaxis compliance rate was 56%; however, only 45 (50%) of 90 patients were given an optimal chemoprophylaxis regimen.Noncompliance with personal protective measures and chemoprophylaxis contributed to the largest outbreak of imported malaria in US military personnel since the Vietnam conflict. Since military personnel frequently go on leave after deployment, health care providers throughout the United States must be aware of the presence of imported malaria from Somalia.

To the Editor: A weekly dose of 250 mg of mefloquine (Lariam) is being used by U.S. forces for chemoprophylaxis against malaria in Somalia. We report two cases of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum in U.S. soldiers who were taking mefloquine. A 23-year-old man was admitted on March 3, 1993, with a seven-day history of fever, chills, and headache. A blood smear showed P. falciparum. The serum mefloquine level in blood drawn when the patient's smear was positive was 1067 ng per milliliter for the parent compound and 4014 ng per milliliter for the primary metabolite. He had been taking . . .

THE CHEMOPROPHYLAXIS of malaria has become complex because of increasing resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to various drugs and adverse reactions associated with them. From a military perspective, peace enforcement and peace keeping activities have recently seen personnel from various armies deployed to areas of the world where malaria is endemic. Over the past two decades the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has deployed personnel to malarious countries such as Bougainville, New Guinea, Cambodia, Somalia, Rwanda and East Timor. Due to the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant P. falciparum parasites, the armamentarium of effective prophylactic drugs has shrunk considerably. In addressing the urgent need for improved malaria prophylaxis, the ADF has been in the forefront of assessing the effectiveness of new drugs and drug regimens.

Stimulated by the world-wide interest in cardiovascular diseases, the authors made a study of 1001 consecutive admissions to a female medical ward in Baghdad, Iraq, and found that 146 patients were in congestive failure on admission, and an additional 197 patients were suffering from primary cardiovascular disease without failure. Of the group in failure, 47.9% had rheumatic heart disease; none of these patients had been on chemoprophylaxis. Bilharziasis was associated with a considerable number of cases of hypertension and with a small percentage of cases of cor pulmonale. The authors feel that prevention of rheumatic fever and bilharziasis should constitute the corner-stone of any effective control programme of cardiovascular disease at this stage of medical development in Iraq.

In Brief BACKGROUND Soldiers with combat-related traumatic injury are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and often require regional anesthesia (RA) for pain control. We evaluated whether the recommended reduction in chemoprophylaxis in the presence of RA increases VTE rates. METHODS We collected data each hospital day for all soldiers admitted to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center following injury in Iraq or Afghanistan. We analyzed thromboprophylaxis and RA rates and assessed risk factors for VTE. We separated outcomes by whether RA was central neuraxial (cNAB) or peripheral blockade. RESULTS Among 1,259 patients, 323 received RA for a median of 12 days (5–27 days). Those with RA were younger and more likely to have been injured in combat or by an improvised explosive device. They also received more packed red blood cell transfusions and had longer admissions. Patients with RA spent a greater percentage of days on enoxaparin 40 mg daily compared with those without RA (34.4% vs. 22.0%, p < 0.001) and more hospital days without any chemoprophylaxis (2.0 [1.0–6.0] vs. 1.0 [0.0–3.0], p < 0.001). Patients with cNAB were less likely to be placed on enoxaparin 30 mg twice daily. Patients with RA in place had mechanical prophylaxis ordered at the same rate as those without RA. Neither the presence of any RA nor cNAB specifically was associated with an increased risk for VTE. No bleeding or neurologic complications occurred in those receiving RA. CONCLUSION Despite changes to chemoprophylaxis, soldiers wounded in combat who receive RA are not at increased risk for VTE. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study, level III.

AIM: To evaluate the effectivity of the combination of intracameral moxifloxacin 0.1% with subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide 4 mg as prophylaxis of infection and inflammation after phacoemulsification in comparison with topical medication treated group. METHODS: A total one thousand patients with age range from 38 to 70 years old who scheduled for phacoemulsification were divided into 2 groups of no statistically significant differences in age, preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and central macular thickness (CMT), P=0.6, 0.9 and 0.8 respectively. The surgeries were done by 2 surgeons each one planned to use one method of prophylaxis at Eye Speciality Private hospital, Baghdad, Iraq. For the 1st group of patients (500) a topical moxifloxacin hydrochloride 0.5% and dexamethasone 0.1% eye drops were prescribed four times a day for 1mo postoperatively. For the 2nd group intracameral (IC) diluted moxifloxacin at 0.1% with subconjunctival (SC) triamcinolone 4mg in 0.4 cc were administered at the conclusion of the surgery. Follow up visits were on the first postoperative day, 1wk, 1mo, and 3mo postoperatively. Anterior chamber (AC) reaction was examined during the 4 visits while IOP was measured during the last 3 and CMT was measured only in the last one. RESULTS: The current clinical trial study compared 2 samples with 2 different prophylaxis methods. No endophthalmitis case reported in both group. By a 2-Sample t-test, the IC-treated group (group 2) had statistically significant lower AC cells at the 1st day postoperative visit than the other group while there were no statistically significant differences at 1wk, 1 mo and 3mo visits between the 2 groups. There was no statistically significant difference at 3mo visits in IOP and CMT between the two groups. A breakthrough inflammation rate with the topical medication was (9.6%) while in the other group (IC treated ) was 4.0%. A significant IOP elevation ≥10 mm Hg at 1mo in 2.4% within the topical medication group which was higher than the rate in the other group (0.8%). CONCLUSION: In addition to the safety and effectivity of the combination of intracameral moxifloxacin and subconjunctival triamcinolone in preventing infection and inflammation after cataract surgery. The majority (480) of our included patients didn’t require any topical postoperative medication that is cost saving for the patient, helped patients who were unable to administer topical medication, and decreased chance of complication related to patient poor adherence to postoperative medication.

Most antimalarial agents used by travelers act on the parasite's blood stage and therefore do not prevent late-onset illness, particularly that due to species that cause relapsing malaria. We examined the magnitude of this problem among Israeli and American travelers.We examined malaria surveillance data from Israel and the United States to determine the traveler's destination, the infecting species, the type of chemoprophylaxis used, and the incubation period.In Israel, from 1994 through 1999, there were 300 cases of malaria among returning travelers in which one species of plasmodium could be identified. In 134 of these cases (44.7 percent), the illness developed more than two months after the traveler's return; nearly all of these cases were due to infection with Plasmodium vivax or P. ovale. In 108 of the 134 cases (80.6 percent), the patient had used an antimalarial regimen according to national guidelines. In the United States, from 1992 through 1998, there were 2822 cases of malaria among travelers in which the cause could be evaluated. Late illness developed in 987 (35.0 percent) of these travelers. The infection was due to P. vivax in 811 travelers, P. ovale in 66, P. falciparum in 59, and P. malariae in 51; 614 (62.2 percent) of those with late-onset illness had appropriately taken an effective antimalarial agent.In more than one third of malaria-infected travelers, the illness developed more than two months after their return. Most of these late-onset illnesses are not prevented by the commonly used and effective blood schizonticides. Agents that act on the liver phase of malaria parasites are needed for more effective prevention of malaria in travelers.

<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objective</b> To compare the tolerability of malaria chemoprophylaxis regimens in non-immune travellers. <b>Design</b> Randomised, double blind, study with placebo run-in phase. <b>Setting</b> Travel clinics in Switzerland, Germany, and Israel. <b>Main outcome measure</b> Proportion of participants in each treatment arm with subjectively moderate or severe adverse events. <b>Participants</b> 623 non-immune travellers to sub-Saharan Africa: 153 each received either doxycycline, mefloquine, or the fixed combination chloroquine and proguanil, and 164 received the fixed combination atovaquone and proguanil. <b>Results</b> A high proportion of patients reported adverse events, even in the initial placebo group. No events were serious. The chloroquine and proguanil arm had the highest proportion of mild to moderate adverse events (69/153; 45%, 95% confidence interval 37% to 53%), followed by mefloquine (64/153; 42%, 34% to 50%), doxycycline (51/153; 33%, 26% to 41%), and atovaquone and proguanil (53/164; 32%, 25% to 40%) (P = 0.048 for all). The mefloquine and combined chloroquine and proguanil arms had the highest proportion of more severe events (n = 19; 12%, 7% to 18% and n = 16; 11%, 6% to 15%, respectively), whereas the combined atovaquone and proguanil and doxycycline arms had the lowest (n = 11; 7%, 2% to 11% and n = 9; 6%, 2% to 10%, respectively: P = 0.137 for all). The mefloquine arm had the highest proportion of moderate to severe neuropsychological adverse events, particularly in women (n = 56; 37%, 29% to 44% versus chloroquine and proguanil, n = 46; 30%, 23% to 37%; doxycycline, n = 36; 24%, 17% to 30%; and atovaquone and proguanil, n = 32; 20%, 13% to 26%: P = 0.003 for all). The highest proportion of moderate or severe skin problems were reported in the chloroquine and proguanil arm (n= 12; 8%, 4% to 13% versus doxycycline, n = 5; 3%, 1% to 6%; atovaquone and proguanil, n = 4; 2%, 0% to 5%; mefloquine, n = 2; 1%, 0% to 3%: P = 0.013). <b>Conclusions</b> Combined atovaquone and proguanil and doxycyline are well tolerated antimalarial drugs. Broader experience with both agents is needed to accumulate reports of rare adverse events.

The issue of the best chemoprophylaxis agent for aircrew to use against malaria is still not settled.We studied the patterns of use of both doxycycline and mefloquine in aviators and other aircrew for 2 mo during biweekly flights from Israel to Rwanda with a few hours' visits. Some 28 aviators and 15 non-aviator aircrew were treated with doxycycline and mefloquine, respectively, less than 12 h before the first flight and up to 4 wk after the last return.No case of malaria occurred within or after the operational period. Compliance was better for mefloquine than for doxycyline for the full period of the operation (100% vs. 75%, respectively). The rate of side effects, mostly gastrointestinal, was higher for doxycycline (39% vs. 13%, respectively) and was related mainly to the frequency of administration (daily vs. weekly).In situations involving frequent intermittent short-term visits to areas with substantial risk of acquiring malaria, we conclude that aircrew can safely take weekly mefloquine as prophylaxis.

Short trips to holiday resorts in Mombassa, Kenya, have gained popularity among Israelis since the early 1990s. A cluster of cases of malaria among returned travelers raised concern that preventive measures were being neglected.To characterize the demographic and clinical features of malaria acquired in Kenya, and to assess the adequacy of preventive measures.Data were collected from investigation forms at the Ministry of Health. All persons who acquired malaria in Kenya during the years 1999-2001 were contacted by phone and questioned about use of chemoprophylaxis, attitudes towards malaria prevention, and disease course. Further information was extracted from hospital records.Kenya accounted for 30 (18%) of 169 cases of malaria imported to Israel and was the leading source of malaria in the study period. Of 30 malaria cases imported from Kenya, 29 occurred after short (1-2 weeks) travel to holiday resorts in Mombassa. Average patient age was 43 +/- 12 years, which is older than average for travelers to tropical countries. Only 10% of the patients were fully compliant with malaria chemoprophylaxis. The most common reason for non-compliance was the belief that a short trip to a holiday resort carries a negligible risk of malaria. Only 3 of 13 patients (23%) who consulted their primary physician about post-travel fever were correctly diagnosed with malaria. Twenty percent of cases were severe enough to warrant admission to an intensive care unit; one case was fatal.Measures aimed at preventing malaria and its severe sequelae among travelers should concentrate on increasing awareness of risks and compliance with malaria chemoprophylaxis.

Many malaria chemoprophylactic agents affect only the parasite's blood stage and therefore do not protect against relapses due to Plasmodium vivax or P. ovale . Investigators recently examined malaria surveillance data from the U.S. and Israel during the 1990s to determine the frequency and timing of late-onset (>2 months after return) malaria in …

Doctors from the developing world feel that the world's leading journals are biased against publishing their research and are not playing their role in reducing global heath inequity, an international conference heard last week. This was one of several perceived barriers to publication identified during a workshop, hosted by the BMJ , at the conference on the global inequity of health care and development held in Egypt. Publishing research from developing countries was seen as an essential step to reduce inequities in health and development across the world. Delegates felt that journals were preventing the dissemination of results that could help to reduce global health inequity. Ninety five per cent …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine ethnic disparities in the utilization of digital healthcare services (DHS) in Israel and explore the characteristics and factors influencing DHS use among the Arab minority and Jewish majority populations. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design was employed to collect data from 606 Israeli participants, 445 Jews, and 161 Arabs. Participants completed a digital questionnaire that assessed DHS utilization, digital health literacy, attitudes towards DHS, and demographic variables. Results: The findings reveal significant disparities in DHS utilization and attitudes between these ethnic groups, with Jewish participants demonstrating higher rates of utilization and positive attitudes toward DHS. The study also explores the predictive role of digital health literacy and attitudes in DHS use while considering ethnicity as a potential moderator. Significant predicting factors related to DHS utilization among Jews include positive attitudes and high health literacy. Among the Arabs, only attitudes towards DHS significantly predict the extent of DHS use. Digital health literacy affects the extent of use through attitudes at the two groups of the moderator significantly, but it is stronger among the Arab group. Conclusion: To improve healthcare outcomes and reduce disparities, efforts should focus on ensuring equitable access to DHS for the Arab minority population. Targeted interventions, including digital literacy education, removing technology access barriers, offering services in Arabic, and collaborating with community organizations, can help bridge the gap and promote equal utilization of DHS. Keywords: health literacy, digital health literacy, Arabs, minority, Jews

Excessive losses in natural in Turkey are, to a large extent, a consequence of omissions and deficiencies in the structuring of disasters and development laws, as well as negligent land-use practices and avoidance of control in building processes. Two extreme forms of legal and organizational structures in policy could be formulated as the fatalist and self-reliance models. Their contrasts can be investigated in terms of (a) the use of information concerning natural phenomena in formal planning procedures; (b) pre- or post-disaster emphasis in preparations; (c) the political or technical basis of decisions; (d) the extraordinary or routine nature of responses; (e) the general or specialized nature of financial sources used; (f) and their compatibility with the order of priorities in risk management. An evaluation of the conventional policy in Turkey clarifies a position closer to the fatalist model and indicates the lines of action for improvements. However, after the 1999 earthquakes, the conventional approach in disaster policy has been restructured. With the newly introduced Obligatory Insurance, Building Control, and Professional Proficiency systems, greater emphasis is now given to mitigation efforts, and the introduction of contingency planning practices is more likely to happen.

Purpose This research study aims at revealing a planning method for the development of the Souq Waqif-Transit village. Design/methodology/approach Over the past decade, transit-oriented developments (TODs) have become an international city planning model for promoting sustainable urbanism. On a regional scale, the State of Qatar launched the construction of Doha Metro. The current network consists of three lines with a central interchange station within the city's most vibrant cultural core, i.e., between Msheireb Downtown Doha and Msheireb, near to the Souq Waqif historical site and Al Corniche waterfront promenade. The Qatar National Development Framework emphasizes the importance of stimulating sustainable urban growth by linking the Doha Metro with TODs. Findings The findings show that the benefits of a strategy for monitoring and assessing the potential benefits of the investigated TOD linked to the analysis of the indices for (1) travel behavior, (2) built environment diversity and (3) other categories specific to the site's historical-heritage preservation. Research limitations/implications Namely, a comprehensive approach for developing a historical site is/should be grounded in a planning method for enhancing the mixed-used urban fabric, public realm and walkability, and heritage preservation. Social implications The insights from this research study aim to guide the long-term sustainable urban growth of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) cities in the future. Originality/value The proposed sustainable growth planning scheme for the Souq Waqif addresses gaps highlighted through design tools of investigation. The missing attributes concern three key factors: (1) mixed-used urban fabric, (2) public realm and walkability and (3) built heritage preservation. The quality of streetscape, corridors, connections and connectivity of pedestrian and walkable network: TOD is not dependent on a singular mode of transport (Doha Metro), but it includes all systems that allow for mass public mobility within the city districts. Integrating other transport systems within mixed-use areas should be reevaluated based on accessibility to such systems, including taxi services, public bus services and public shuttles.

To achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), Egypt’s government works to make Egypt a safe competing country that attracts international investors. Improving the efficiency of coastal fisheries is considered one of the Egyptian strategic proposed plans in 2030. It is expected that promoting the Egyptian coastal fishing ports infrastructure, considering the environmental issues, will support their operation more eco-efficient and sustainable and enhance the SDGs 8, 9, and 14. Unfortunately, Egypt’s current planning and design methods tend to lack basic data and depend too much on the experience of a few individuals. However, the planning and design of new fishing port structures or improving the infrastructures of existing ones must conform to scientific laws and principles respecting the environmental regulations and the UNSDGs. This chapter presents the proposed guidelines for planning a fishing port, covering different planning aspects. It includes water area planning, land area planning, environmental factors, and fishing port management structure and duties.

Coastal regions are areas of high ecological and economic importance. These areas do not exceed 12% of the urban areas in the world, although 45% of the world’s population lives there. Countries build new cities in coastal areas, seeking the scenic value of these areas. However, the great ignorance of the natural and environmental fragility of such areas has led to the development of high-density cities, destroying the natural ecosystems and biodiversity of these areas. Nowadays, most coastal regions are not only suffering from poor unsustainable development among most of their cities but also the high threat of being lying exposed without any defensive means against the high threat of natural and environmental disasters. There is a massive need for a new approach that may mitigate the negative impact of the poor developments, restore the nature of eco defensive systems, and increase the resilience of such cities against natural and environmental threats. The study develops a new approach that can be efficiently integrated through the traditional planning process for coastal communities. The adapted methodology aims to conduct a correlative analytical study among the most effective emerging approaches for the sustainable planning of coastal communities. Such a study reveals the ability of contingency planning to increase the sustainability of such communities. Furthermore, the paper profoundly studied the contingency planning process for coastal communities correlated with the traditional planning process for Egyptian coastal communities and cities. This study innovated a new planning process that can fulfill the development requirements while mitigating their impacts, maintaining/restoring the ecosystems, and increasing the resilience of the Egyptian coastal communities and cities.

Tourism planning is one of the most significant tools for tourism development. It aims to increase national income and develop inclusive civilized development for all-natural, human, and material components of the countries. Therefore, tourism development planning is considered an integral part of the economic and social development plan. This requires all governmental and non-governmental departments to implement a tourism development policy. Planning must incorporate a lot of detailed and accurate information closely related to the earth. It must also include the process of collecting, organizing, analyzing, displaying, and coordinating this information in a system. This allows it to be recalled easily on time and used by decision-makers. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) could support governments in infrastructure operations management by processing the data linked to tourist sites and dealing with several layers of data to integrate all various specialties’ experiences in development projects. This research aims to show the effect of applying the GIS technique in the Planning of Tourist Areas in Egypt. The results demonstrate that GIS supports tourism planning quickly and effectively. The research recommends improving the efficiency of GIS employees at the Tourism Development Authority by providing appropriate training and qualifying them locally, regionally, and internationally.

Abstract : Planning for military operations at the national strategic level has a direct impact on a commander's ability to meet his operational objectives. It is important during the planning phase for operations that an environment exists wherein all professional views can be presented and properly considered. In the planning for Napoleon's 1812 campaign against Russia, Japanese planning for Midway, and U.S. planning for Vietnam and Operation Iraqi Freedom, the inability of civilian and military leaders to accept professional dissent ultimately led to defeat or protracted conflict resulting in inconclusive results. These historical examples show that national strategic leaders rejected advice that could have turned the tide or at least made a more positive difference in achieving the established objectives. When legitimate, professional advice is not taken into account, the danger exists for operational considerations such as factor space (Napoleon 1812), force concentration (Japan in Midway), and factor force (Vietnam and Iraqi Freedom) to ultimately keep military commanders from being able to achieve their assigned objectives. The mistakes in planning for these campaigns ranged from establishing the objective based on false assumptions, allowing civilians to have operational and tactical control of military forces, refusing to accept alternative points of view, removing persons who offer alternative points of view from the decision chain, and keeping bad news from decision makers.

Like most EU and US planning systems, planning in Israel aims to promote certainty regarding future development by employing statutory land-use plans for stabilizing and binding the development of land use. In Israel, district planning from the 1980s onwards took place in the form of long-term land-use plans. However, in practice, Israeli planning witnessed a movement toward discretionary-oriented decision-making, providing for revisions of the land-use plans and subsequently diminishing its efficacy. A pending reform suggests eliminating district land-use plans and absorbing them into national and local plans. Concerning the debate on the future of the Israeli planning system, this research aims to assess the gap between certainty-oriented regulation and actual development, often occurring on a case-by-case basis. Our aim is to evaluate the actual performance of a district land-use plan, focusing particularly on aspects of land-use. Remote Sensing and GIS-based Plan Implementation Evaluation (PIE) analysis was used to test the impact of a comprehensive outline plan for Israel's Central District on the actual development of the built environment. The results show fundamental gaps between the original land-use assignments of the district plan and actual development. The limited effectiveness of regulatory land-use planning for complex, densely populated districts is then discussed in line with the certainty–flexibility dilemma in land-use planning and the structure of planning decision-making in Israel.

The planning scene in the 21st century is characterized by rapid transformation and upheavals. Countries with a long tradition of multi-tiered planning systems have seen their planning systems overhauled in the past decade. Through the Israeli case, a country with a highly centralized planning system, I examine the dynamics of such a transformation. These dynamics are an outcome of multi-dimensional struggles at several levels: between four advocacy coalitions, between elected officials and planners, between the central government and local governments, and between epistemic communities. In Israel the economic advocacy coalition and elected officials have utilized a policy window opened by the hike in housing prices since 2008 to frame the issue as a supply-side story line whereby planning obstructs the supply of housing thereby causing the price hike. On this basis, a series of actions were undertaken fragmenting the planning system, changing the power structures within the planning system and limiting the purview of planning commissions. To this end, and utilizing the relative advantage of the economic coalition and elected officials at the legislature, ‘emergency’ legislation was pushed through and the composition of planning bodies were altered. The cumulative outcome of these actions is a shift in power toward elected officials at the national level, at the expense of planners, civil society and local government. These actions had implications also for the content of planning - toward silo planning, driven mainly by economic considerations (largely developers’ profitability), at the expense of comprehensive planning and sustainability considerations.

Israeli planning is at a crossroad, and not for the first time. As the housing crisis is coupled with a traffic and transportation catastrophe, the planning system is desperate to create new tools and invent new procedures for speeding up plan- and decision-making. A deep look at the performance of planning in Israel reveals that the abundance of short-cuts, circumventions and detours are actually a reflection of the loss of faith in the essence of planning. Particularly, when taking into account two major setbacks: the complete lack of agreeable (spatial) planning principles at all levels of planning, and the congruence between planning institutions and other governmental bodies. These flaws, stemming from the modernist origins of Israeli Planning, continuously erode the practice of planning. Planning institutions are therefore the first to ignore, cancel and evade approved plans and declared policies, which affects other governmental authorities. The result is the practical abandonment of the belief in planning's ability to bring about positive change and a dangerously weakened planning system.

The article critically describes the development of environmental assessment in the land use planning system in Israel. The author proposes that environmental assessment is composed of tools for the integration of environmental policies at different stages and levels of the planning process. Environmental assessment is incorporated into the planning process by the planning authorities responsible for initiating and approving masterplans. The National Masterplan for the Mediterranean coast is described to demonstrate this stage. Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), which have been statutorily required in Israel since 1982, are a tool for checking a limited number of major projects at a detailed stage of planning. Detailed, project-specific guidelines for EIS and careful checking of submitted EIS have proved essential for the successful operation of the EIS system. Cumulative impacts, generated by multiple small-scale proposals, cannot be assessed by an EIS system. These are handled by environmental advisors to the planning authorities, and efforts are now in hand to prepare environmental policy statements to guide common small-scale land use proposals.

Origin and Aims. Founded in Baghdad in 1960 by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The principal aims are: to unify the petroleum policies of member countries and determine the best means for safeguarding their interests, individually and collectively; to devise ways and means of ensuring the stabilization of prices in international oil markets with a view to eliminating harmful and unnecessary fluctuations; and to secure a steady income for the producing countries, an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations, and a fair return on their capital to those investing in the petroleum industry. It is estimated that OPEC members possess 75% of the world’s known reserves of crude petroleum, of which about two-thirds are in the Middle East. OPEC countries account for about 43% of world oil production (55% in the mid-1970s).

A coastal environment is intrinsically multifaceted and active, making its management challenging. Development and natural processes could affect a coastal environment, and so reliable efforts need to be implemented to preserve this environment and ensure coastal integrity. Inadequate control of stakeholders’ activities worldwide and developmental projects are degrading coastal areas. Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a holistic management approach used to sustainably plan human activity within coastal zones. ICZM is being implemented in several countries to maintain a balance between social-economic development and environmental preservation. This research aims to develop a knowledge-based system that facilitates the implementation of an ICZM framework in Kuwait. The proposed system is an “Integrated Coastal Zone Management: Knowledge-Based System” (ICZM-KBS), which is a tool created using C# programing language. The tool supports the application of ICZM strategies to safeguard coastal areas. The system is designed to provide comprehensive means to raise awareness about the misuse of coastal zones, provide, identify, and collate critical environmental data, assess risks to be faced, and anticipate the development capacity of the coastal zone. An ICZM-KBS allows stakeholders involved in coastal zones to manage and mitigate risks associated with development projects to achieve sustainable development. The system was tested using a case study provided by Kuwait Environment Public Authority (EPA) experts, and it was found to be reliable and important to facilitate the ICZM implementation in Kuwait. Overall, this research focused on developing an ICZM-KBS, encouraging more sustainable marine space use safeguarding the coastal environment.

Origin and Aims. Founded in Baghdad in 1960 by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The principal aims are: to unify the petroleum policies of member countries and determine the best means for safeguarding their interests, individually and collectively; to devise ways and means of ensuring the stabilization of prices in international oil markets with a view to eliminating harmful and unnecessary fluctuations; and to secure a steady income for the producing countries, an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations, and a fair return on their capital to those investing in the petroleum industry. It is estimated that OPEC members possess 75% of the world’s known reserves of crude petroleum, of which about two-thirds are in the Middle East.

Abstract The judiciary has a very significant role to play in safeguarding the environment and promoting the right to a clean environment. This study focuses on the role of the judiciary in promoting the right to a clean environment, and, in this regard, will examine the Kuwaiti and Egyptian experience, as both legal systems are among the civil law practice. In addition, it is of importance to expand the study to a different legal practice, such as the common law system. Therefore, this research will also shed light on the role of the judiciary in the United States of America to establish a comparison between three different legal systems. In the course of this study, constitutional, administrative, and other legal provisions will be examined. In addition, significant cases of concern will be provided and discussed in a descriptive, analytical, and critical manner.

Founded in Baghdad in 1960 by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The principal aims are: to unify the petroleum policies of member countries and determine the best means for safeguarding their interests, individually and collectively; to devise ways and means of ensuring the stabilization of prices in international oil markets with a view to eliminating harmful and unnecessary fluctuations; and to secure a steady income for the producing countries, an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations, and a fair return on their capital to those investing in the petroleum industry. It is estimated that OPEC members possess 75% of the world’s known reserves of crude petroleum, of which about two-thirds are in the Middle East. OPEC countries account for about 40% of world oil production.

Although the British, before leaving the Gulf region, had failed to unite the nine small shaikhdoms under their protection, in the years that followed, events in the region brought the former British-protected states together. Motivated by their common interest in safeguarding the region from both communism and Khomeini, in May 1981, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain were joined by three neighboring states, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait. While these six states wished to safeguard their independent status, they understood that unity would serve their interests. Thus, they established the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The GCC charter expressed “their desire to effect coordination, integration and interconnection between them in all fields.”1

Abstract Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is developing Jurassic fields spread over 65 X 50 Km in North Kuwait, which are aimed to support the state's growing gas demands. The present contribution to Jurassic production is from Raudhatain, Sabriyah, NWRA, Um-Nigah &amp; Dhabi fields of sour MM/NS reservoirs. Some of the wells and flowlines of these fields are located outside current KOC security fence very close to the existing public Farm Houses, posing great threat to public in the event of toxic H2S gas release. This paper mainly describes KOC's Production &amp; Project Gas Group initiatives undertaken to mitigate the threat to public safety (potential Societal Risk) by implementing effective barriers to minimize the source and impact of any toxic gas release. Immediate safety measures undertaken include installation of field crash barriers along entire flowlines/corridors that prevent damage to existing surface flowlines. Mid-term protection by boundary fencing is in advance stage of installation for UN, NWRA, DA &amp; Liyah fields and H2S warning signs are installed at well heads as well as along flowline routes. Long-term plans are underway to install required safety instrumented instrumentation for improved safeguarding systems of well heads, flow lines &amp; the Early Production Facility (EPF-50) protection. The plan includes monitoring facilities of potential H2S release and public warning system (in two phases) for emergency preparedness and crisis management. The paper presents few specific cases of how by implementing the safety measures and barrier installations so far have yielded results in avoidance of hazardous condition and unsafe incident. In addition, the paper also presents process safety features like hazard analysis and risk assessment studies (HAZOP, SIL assessment, QRA etc.) carried out to identify potential risks associated with site specific situations (both for Jurassic field areas and EPF-50 plant) based on ALARP principle.

The principal aims are: to unify the petroleum policies of member countries and determine the best means for safeguarding their interests, individually and collectively; to devise ways and means of ensuring the stabilization of prices in international oil markets with a view to eliminating harmful and unnecessary fluctuations; and to secure a steady income for the producing countries, an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations, and a fair return on their capital to those investing in the petroleum industry. It is estimated that OPEC members possess 75% of the world’s known reserves of crude petroleum, of which about two-thirds are in the Middle East. OPEC countries account for about 43% of world oil production (55% in the mid-1970s).

The Economic circumstances that Kuwait in particular and the Gulf States in general are confronting have great impact on the planning and control process in these countries. Expanding public expenditures since early nineties and the global changes all over the world necessitate the implementation of tight measures to ensure the utmost usage of economic resources. This alongside with the growing public awareness of the importance of safeguarding public funds has produced Law No. 1/1993 with respect to safeguarding public funds. The Audit Bureau responsibilities, accordingly, have been extended to include controlling and reporting foreign and local investments of the country. This study highlights the role of the Audit Bureau in safeguarding public funds in comparison with similar institutions worldwide. In addition, concerned parties’ views with respect to this matter were gathered through a designed questionnaire and analyzed in order to come up with some recommendations to enhance the new province of the Audit Bureau.

COVID-19 has presented the surgical community with a multitude of challenges. Patients requiring surgical intervention who are positive for COVID-19 are not only more likely to develop complications post-operatively, but also pose an increased infection risk to the surgical team involved in their care. The infection control concerns raised at the peak of the pandemic persist in the post-pandemic era as patients continue to test positive for COVID-19 and the risk of a 'second wave' looms.We present a case series (compliant with SCARE [4] and PROCESS [5] criteria) to demonstrate the effective use of an AR technology platform during the intraoperative treatment of two complex COVID positive patients diagnosed with Fournier's gangrene.Retrospective review of prospectively collected data of all patients that required surgery involving multiple specialties during the COVID-19 pandemic at Jaber AlAhmad hospital in Kuwait between March 2020 to October 2020.We present two cases to highlight the use of an augmented reality (AR) platform during the treatment of COVID-19 positive patients with Fournier's gangrene in order to safeguard surgical teams whilst simultaneously enabling these complex cases to benefit from multi-specialty input intraoperatively.Augmented reality is a feasible option to minimize surgeons' exposure during surgery without compromising the patients safety.This case series demonstrates how AR solutions can be employed to bolster infection control measures and may be useful in the treatment of surgical patients who test positive for COVID-19.AR solutions could be considered as an infection control strategy to safeguard surgical teams operating on COVID-19 positive patients.

This article critically examines the nationalistic uses to which UNESCO’s 2003 Convention on intangible heritage is put in Western Asia by looking at the conflicts it initiated amongst the countries in the region over the ownership of shared culinary traditions. I first detail the conflict that has arisen between Armenia and Turkey over the ownership of keşkek dish after its inscription in the Convention’s Representative List on behalf of Turkey in 2011. Then I discuss the ownership conflicts over tolma dish and lavash bread that ensued in the region following the listing of keşkek. Examined together, these cases demonstrate that while the Convention strongly influences the current processes of heritagization of food in Western Asia, these processes do not primarily serve the Convention’s purposes of safeguarding intangible heritage and ensuring mutual appreciation of it. The Convention rather functions as a source of nationalism in the region to identify and legitimate transnational food traditions as national heritage and to prevent other countries from laying claims over them.

Abstract Two District Courts in the Netherlands found the obligation to integrate imposed on some categories of third-country nationals by the Law on Integration (Wet Inburgering), to be incompatible with the standstill and non-discrimination provisions of the EEC-Turkey Association Law. In their judgments the courts followed the guidance provided by the case-law of the Court of Justice and resolved the cases accordingly. In the current political climate, where immigration issues are hotly debated, these judgments were not welcomed by the government and the municipal authorities involved in the cases. The judgments were immediately taken to appeal to the Centrale Raad van Beroep (the Administrative High Court).

The number of unaccompanied minors (UAMs) arriving in the European Union (EU) has been increasing dramatically over recent years resulting in the formulation of EU policy directives around safeguarding and well-being. Notably, the majority of UAMs enter Europe irregularly through two main gateways to the European continent: via Italy, using the Central Mediterranean Sea route; or through Greece, transiting through the Eastern Mediterranean route from Turkey, mostly via sea. Profiles of UAMs travelling via the two different routes are significantly diverse, reflecting Italy’s and Greece’s geographical proximity to North Africa and the Middle East, respectively. Although Italy has witnessed a decline since 2018 (Todaro and Romano 2019), the two countries have faced a significant increase in UAMs, and this has required a considerable reorganisation of the reception systems and, more generally, of their welfare systems. However, difficulties in securing adequate reception for UAMs seeking protection have persisted in both countries. Through an analysis of the impact of the pandemic on the Italian and Greek reception systems and social interventions with UAMs, we utilised a multiple embedded case study approach within a comparative analysis, to identify key changes in the main services which should be guaranteed to minors—namely, hosting/housing, guardianship, foster care, family/relatives reunification, school integration, language, job training for care leaving, and preparation for leaving care after 18 years (Di Rosa 2017; Buchanan and Kallinikaki 2018; Barn et al. 2020). Against a background of critical reviews of the main issues related to policies and reported social work practice in a context of COVID-19 precarity, set within a wider EU framework, this paper contributes to the literature with an analysis of the current situation and the tightening of the conditions of reception, inclusion and integration that await UAMs in these gateway countries today. We conclude that with the suspension of key services and amenities, and with a practical halt to the due process of immigration and asylum, social workers are facing a difficult challenge to prevent the deterioration of UAMs’ mental health and well-being.

Fermented products are mainly produced at the household level and consumed as stable foods by local people, and sold on local markets; majority of them are unknown by up-market population. Recently, public information on potential health benefits of fermented products increased the demand for them and consumers’ willingness to pay, especially during COVID-19. Integration of these products to the global market is essential for food security, sustainable production, success of the food market, and the economy of the country. However, pre- and post-processing contamination and product inconsistency constitute a major challenge to the market value of traditional food products. The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) was applied for quantification of risk analysis of ten traditional fermented beverages that majority of them are virtually less well known outside of the specific regions of Turkey. Generally speaking, high risk priority numbers, (RPN≤720), were commonly observed in majority of productions since they were using intensive human handling, applying obsolete technologies, and employing people that have no food processing and hygiene training. It is concluded that improving a technology and integration of local peoplecentered, knowledge-based support programs were required for sustainable production of these products. Comprehensive real data collected from visits to farms located in different regions of Turkey over six years were used for the analysis. Results from this study may help manufacturers from different parts of the world in producing safer fermented beverages that share common ingredients, equipment, and manufacturing stages.

This chapter will initially introduce the concept of intangible cultural heritage. After establishing the relationship between intangible cultural heritage and tourism, changes in intangible cultural heritage components will be expressed through the digitization and COVID-19 processes. “Digital intangible cultural heritage,” “digital cultural heritage,” “digital safeguarding” concepts will be described because they attracted great attention during this time. Additionally, the other aspect of the research is the use of digital applications to safeguard the intangible cultural heritage. In the final part, the pilot projects concerning the safeguarding and promoting the intangible cultural heritage implemented by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey will be discussed.

Armenia, as the most upstream country in Southern Caucasus, is the major “exporter” of water to the neighboring countries, and therefore, any associated pollution or “natural emergencies” (hydrological extreme events, incidental or intentional chemical spills, mining and ore-dressing discharges, etc.) become part of the F“parcel”. Despite the regular stream-gauging and routine quality monitoring of the surface waters in the country (including the transboundary water bodies), the security of riparian communities downstream (across-the-border) is at risk due to the lack of early/emergency warning monitoring systems (EWS) in place, as well as adequate control measures upstream. Early warning monitoring systems can provide a means to monitor short-term and long-term changes in water quality, and are an important component of any rapid response program. This is relevant to the transboundary watercourses at risk, such as the rivers Debed (Armenia-Georgia), Akhurian (Armenia-Turkey), Araks (Armenia-Turkey-Azerbaijan), and Voghji (Armenia-Azerbaijan). Lake Sevan, being the largest freshwater body in Armenia and in Southern Caucasus, is a unique strategic reserve of fresh water in the region. It has interconnection with several freshwater aquifers (transboundary) used for drinking/irrigation abstractions. Overuse and man-made pollution caused widespread changes throughout the entire lake watershed and brought about abrupt drop in water levels, resulting in eutrophication and water quality deterioration. Regular monitoring of the lake's water quality with respect to early warning systems (e.g., phytoplankton), aimed to reveal man-made changes in Lake Sevan, will be beneficial for the whole region. Development and putting into practice of feasible EWS on the transboundary water bodies in Armenia, based on international best practices, will ensure water security and mitigate environmental pressures in the region, which is a high priority from EU-integration perspective of the South-Caucasian countries.

Abstract : NATO has provided a general balance of power and European stability since the late 1940's. The Southern flank is vital to NATO not only from a military standpoint but also economically. Turkey plays a vital role in defending the Southern flank of NATO by safeguarding the Turkish Straits (Bosporus, Sea of Marmara and Dardanelles) and lines of communication to vital elements of the Middle East. Turkey maintains the largest armed forces in NATO after the United States. Although Turkey is trying to modernize its armed forces by using more than 25% of the general budget, it cannot be said that equipment obsolescence is being overtaken. On the other hand, Greece, in accordance with historic ambition, is creating problems in the Aegean Sea, and espousing policies which are anti-NATO. Unless these problems are properly addressed and security assistance to Turkey significantly increased, the deterrent role of NATO forces in the Southern Region will be increasingly and dramatically lessened.

There are various regulations on the protection of employee (worker) in the situation of transfer of workplace or business in Turkish legislation. First, Article 202 of Turkish Code of Obligations (TCO) dated 2011, provides this issue in general. Furthermore Articles 428 and 429 regulate the conveyance of workplace and employment contracts. Article 6 of the Employment Act (EA) 2003, which provides the conveyance of workplace partly or fully, is based on the European Union (EU) Directive no. 2001/23/EC relating to the safeguarding of employees’ rights in the situation of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses (also named as Acquired Rights Directive). Finally, Article 178 of Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) 2011 regulates the transfer of employment relationships in the case of organizational changes of companies such as merger, division and conversion (restructure of companies). Among these three Acts, the provisions relating to the transfer of workplace or business are partly in compliance with each other. On the other hand, in English law, the status of the employees in the transfer of business is laid down in revised the Transfer of Undertakings- Protection of Employment (TUPE) Regulations 2006. TUPE Regulations are also based on the EU Directive 2001/23/EC. There are similarities between Turkish and English legislations concerning the rights of the employees. These similarities and differences are examined in this article. Consequently, some arguments are proposed.

Our research began with UNESCO's plea for every country to record its intangible cultural heritage under the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, held in 2003. Research intensified in 2006, after Turkey joined the treaty. The investigations described were conducted under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the General Directorate of Research and Education. This article discusses the intangible cultural heritage of Turkey and assesses this with respect to the 2003 convention.

However, the “protectability” and “transferability” of ICH remain problematic in terms of efforts to list and inventory elements, the form and performance of National Committees, and the structural organs of governments. In Turkey, new ways of working with cultural and political stakeholders were developed following major structural changes to the administration of the Republic of Turkey in 2018 and the adoption of the current presidential system. This chapter examines the successes and failures of two different approaches to safeguarding intangible cultural heritage: a UNESCO-aligned approach, and an independent grassroots approach. The former is given through the example of traditional sıra gecesi of the city of Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. The latter is considered within the context of a “UNESCO-free” applied ethnomusicology project conducted in rural Anatolia. Findings reveal that the implementation of the Convention is largely left to state actors in Turkey. This becomes a basis for the dominance of diplomacy and bureaucracy in the functioning of the convention and the landscape is extremely political. The commodification of ICH elements such as sıra gecesi and their usage as promotional material for tourism are seen as destructive by some communities, but the counter argument shows that such usage allows the elements in question to be better safeguarded. Without the support of local, national, and international authorities, the safeguarding capacity of independent actors remains extremely limited in economically challenged places like rural Anatolia.

Heritage cities often build on their cultural assets to develop as destinations. Yet, the assets communicated to visitors usually present only part of the picture. Heritage cities often tend to possess a significant cultural value that is hidden from the prying eyes. This value is not only exhibited as tangible assets, but the accumulation of knowledge and experience in the culture-laden milieu is also central to the notion of heritage (Falser, 2015). Such intangible elements have found their way into international discussions in recent years (Vecco, 2010). Heritage cities, as living spaces, also embrace a cultural heritage inseparable from local communities, and in a broader perspective, from the whole of humanity. This perspective is central to the creation of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) seeking to protect the world’s heritage with Outstanding Universal Value under the umbrella of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) (1972). In this process, however, the heritage assets inscribed as WHSs are nominated by national governments which, upon inscription, become the primary entity responsible for safeguarding their integrity. The primary motivation for this research is the centralized governance structure in developing countries and how this affects the potential to achieve sustainability through tourism development. Turkey is an example of such a centralized system in regard to tourism and heritage management (Yüksel et al., 2005) which includes the WHSs. In Turkey, WHSs are not only effective tools to aid foreign policy (Atakuman, 2010) but are also integral to culture-driven tourism strategy (Ozturk &amp; van Niekerk, 2014). Despite inconclusive evidence in the literature on the relationship between proliferation of tourism and WHS status (Jimura, 2011; Poria et al., 2013), Turkey’s proactive relationship with UNESCO may be interpreted as reaffirming the perceived linkage between WHS status and visitation.

The reconversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque in 2020 created international controversy, and the Erdog˘an administration has been criticized for using it as a political vehicle, abandoning the state’s duties for safeguarding the World Heritage Site. This research will investigate the use of Hagia Sophia by the Republic of Turkey in their national and international politics, and it will demonstrate how both the museum and the mosque settings were oriented by the political needs of the time and affected heritage management: conservation, interpretation and visitor’s accessibility. The purpose of this study is to illustrate that the institutional uses of Hagia Sophia have always been political and to highlight the potential benefit and the continuing social, cultural and educational responsibilities as a living religious heritage site through multigovernmental and international collaboration. Recognizing the limitations of each institutional setting demands an inclusive and strategic management of Hagia Sophia that respects its complex history and diverse values to serve both local and global communities.

The architectural heritage is one of the structural elements of the nation with an enormous energy potential for spiritual development and national consciousness in the multitude of nations, and ethnic groups in the world; as well as an anchor in the wave of change generated by the globalization process. A major impediment to safeguarding the pact is the lack of financial means. The protection and maintenance of architectural monuments were and are expensive. In this research, the authors set out to examine the experience of different countries on how to finance rehabilitation, restoration, conservation, maintenance and/or revitalization of built heritage. Economic aspects of heritage safeguarding applied in the Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Turkey, the USA are examined. Economic and financial measures for safeguarding heritage are identified at the country, municipality (locality) and object level. The state of the existing built heritage in the municipality is analyzed. Chisinau, the capital of the Republic of Moldova, has the economic situation and the existing potential within the current legal framework. The correlation between the state of the object, the type of intervention required and the potential, sources, and financing modalities are highlighted. The opportunities and impediments to the implementation of economic and financial measures to safeguard the heritage in the conditions of the Republic of Moldova are assessed.

The article deals with the BRICS group as a global governance institution, which could to respond to the mounting challenges of the new time. BRICS is the acronym desired to associate fi ve major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Additionally Argentina and Iran has formally applied for membership. The BRICS members are known for their significant influence on world affairs. In addition, the possibility of joining is officially considered by the representatives of Nigeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey; it can significantly consolidate the joint eff orts of the BRICS to a form a new, more just, secure and stable world order. It is important to understand that the BRICS is not only the economy of the future, but also an extensive set of social projects that carry a healthy creative potential freed from colonial prejudices. More specifically, the BRICS media platform project would logically bring significant enhancements to confidence-building in the international sphere and serve the purpose of safeguarding the common information environment.

Following a call by the European Commission on Disaster Resilience and Climate, the STORM partnership was formed by 20 partners, dedicated to 5 main sites: Mellor (England), Rome (Italy), Rethymno (Greece), Troia (Portugal) and Ephesus (Turkey), presenting the rich diversity of European cultural assets. This project proposes a set of novel predictive models and improved non-invasive and non-destructive methods of survey and diagnosis, for effective prediction of environmental changes and for revealing threats and conditions that could damage cultural heritage sites. Moreover, STORM will determine how different vulnerable materials, structures and buildings are affected by different extreme weather events together with risks associated with climatic conditions or natural hazards, offering improved, effective adaptation and mitigation strategies, systems and technologies. An integrated system featuring novel sensors (intra fluorescent and wireless acoustic sensors), legacy systems, state of the art platforms (including LiDAR and UAVs), as well as crowdsourcing techniques will be implemented, offering applications and services over an open cloud infrastructure. An important result of STORM will be a cooperation platform for collaboratively collecting and enhancing knowledge, processes and methodologies on sustainable and effective safeguarding and management of European Cultural Heritage. The system will be capable of performing risk assessment on natural hazards taking into account environmental and anthropogenic risks, and of using Complex Events processing.

The second decade of the 2000s Turkey saw the emergence and sudden boost of public spots as a new communication material. These are forty-five seconds long clips that are prepared by the Ministries as well as NGOs and repeatedly aired on the advertising slots of national TV channels. Their pronounced aim is the pursuit of public benefit, directed towards ?raising consciousness and awareness in public? on quite a wide range of topics such as social solidarity, occupational accidents, health, food and environment. This presentation focuses on the ministry-produced public spots. Analyzing their content instead of their format and drawing on nineteen interviews conducted in 2014 with state officials involved in their preparation, we will question the very notion of public benefit and discuss how and why the public spot became a conventional medium to promote it. Our argument rests primarily on the observation that these spots of varying topics are linked through a generalized notion of security: issues concerning food, workplace, traffic, crime, and family are all problematized with the aim of regulating public safety through individual self-governance. As such, we discuss public spots as part of a neoliberal security regime induced by the state, a regime that gradually reassigns the problem of security upon the individual and advances public benefit through self-securitization.

Immigrants have been settling in Sweden for the past 150 years, with, until recently, the majority arriving from European countries, including Greece and Turkey. However, over the past 2 decades, there has been a considerable and rapid influx of migrants and refugees from Latin America, the Middle East, southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. By December, 10.5% of Sweden's population was comprised of first-generation immigrants. The arrival of non-European immigrants to Sweden in latter years led to the development of restrictions in immigration policy, with many newcomers refused asylum or granted only temporary leave to stay. 16 cities are involved in the Multi-City Action Project on AIDS, a European healthy city project launched in 1990 to strengthen local HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. The action group on Blacks and other ethnic minorities is coordinated by Gothenburg. People of foreign origin account for 42% of all registered HIV/AIDS cases in Sweden. Local health authorities Involved in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment need to work together with immigrants to develop effective services, tailored to the specific needs of each community, with communities encouraged to develop their own projects. Relevant, up-to-date, and culturally appropriate information on HIV/AIDS prevention also needs to be made readily available to all, with a range of health education methods developed which are relevant and acceptable to diverse communities. Experience in Gothenburg has shown that it is not easy to raise awareness among diverse communities, although immigrant women are very committed to safeguarding their own and their families' health.

During recent years, there has been a positive development in how the Armenians and the Turks are dealing with an important part of their common past. This has happened in spite of a closed border, absence of official relations, and inability to agree upon a common understanding of the disasters of the early 20th century. Eastern Anatolia is still full of remains from the Armenian communities that were scattered over much of the territory of the Ottoman Empire until its break down during the First World War. Among them are some very important buildings reflecting the rich ecclesiastic and monastic architecture which constitutes the unique and seminal contribution of Armenian medieval architecture to world heritage. It is an architecture that also thrived through impulses from other cultures – an example of give and take, which is important to help better understand that even seemingly opposed identities may after all be related. This heritage holds an important potential for local communities to develop income from cultural tourism. Today the Armenian heritage is no longer threatened by conflict but first of all by forces of nature and shortage of funding. Turkish and Armenian experts, supported by actors from the international community are working together in a common effort to find solutions for safeguarding the most important monuments as a resource for building a better future of reconciliation based on mutual understanding, shared interests and socio-economic development.

In recent years, the European Union (EU) has developed its energy policy to adapt to an evolving global market calling for cleaner energy while maintaining and enhancing its energy security as consumption has remained constant. While the EU works towards this goal, it also seeks to reduce Russian dominance in its energy markets. The EU’s internal politics have become more fragmented with the Eurozone and refugee crises, which has made the coordination of Union policies difficult as leaders are unable to form strong domestic policy alone to counter Russian presence in the energy market. Lacking a united energy policy against Russia, the EU seeks alternative suppliers for its energy needs. One increasingly popular solution is importing newly discovered gas in Israel and the countries of the East Mediterranean region into the EU via pipeline. The peace pipeline theory has the potential to address both energy security and conflict mitigation through the claim that states with economic relations are far less likely to engage in conflict with one another than those without economic ties. This article analyzes the economic interdependence peace pipeline theory and investigates its potential to aid Europe’s quest for energy security. It explores current efforts to use pipelines as a foreign policy tool, examining case studies of Turkey, Israel, and Cyprus. While interstate pipelines can assist Europe’s goal of achieving energy security, available evidence suggests proponents have overstated their impact on energy security and international relations.
