The study sought to evaluate the lipid profile among type 2 diabetic patients using total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in type 2 diabetic patients. In carrying out the study, a comparative cross-sectional design was adopted. The study population consisted of one hundred (100) diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and one hundred (100) apparently healthy, age- and sex-matched non-diabetic individuals who served as controls. All participants were aged between 30 and 70 years. Ten (10) mL of venous blood samples were collected from each participant after overnight fast using standard aseptic procedures and distributed into appropriate tubes for the determination of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, lipid profile, and oxidative stress markers. Serum and plasma were prepared by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes, while whole blood was used for selected analyses. The samples were analyzed using standard laboratory methods. Data obtained were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0. Results were expressed as Mean ± Standard Deviation. The test of significance was determined using independent samples t-test, while Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess relationships between variables, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. There were significantly higher mean levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.000 for all) in Type 2 diabetic patients (6.60 ± 0.57 mmol/L, 2.68 ± 0.52 mmol/L, and 4.42 ± 0.59 mmol/L, respectively) when compared to controls (4.16 ± 0.42 mmol/L, 1.16 ± 0.19 mmol/L, and 2.35 ± 0.46 mmol/L, respectively). There was a significantly lower mean level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.000) in Type 2 diabetic patients (1.02 ± 0.14 mmol/L) compared to controls (1.54 ± 0.17 mmol/L). The study concluded that Type 2 diabetes is frequently accompanied by abnormalities in lipid metabolism, which may manifest as elevated TC, TG, and LDL-C levels together with reduced HDL-C levels. One of the recommendations made was that Lipid profile testing, including TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C, should be carried out routinely among type 2 diabetic patients to facilitate early detection and management of lipid abnormalities.

Contexte : Le carcinome rnal reprsente environ 3 % des cancers dans le monde et son incidence varie selon les rgions. Plusieurs facteurs de risque sont dcrits, notamment le tabagisme, lobsit et lhypertension artrielle. Patients et Objectif : Mthodes : Il sagit dune tude rtrospective et descriptive incluant 268 cas de cancer du rein pris en charge au service de chirurgie urologique et au service danatomopathologie du CHU Bab El Oued entre janvier 2014 et dcembre 2022. Les variables tudies taient lge, le sexe, les facteurs de risque, les circonstances de dcouverte, le ct tumoral, le type histologique et le stade pTNM. Rsultats : Lge moyen tait de 59 ans, avec des extrmes de 19 83 ans. Les hommes reprsentaient 76 % des patients et les femmes 24 %. Les facteurs de risque les plus frquents taient lhypertension artrielle (44,4 %) et le tabagisme (32,8 %). La dcouverte tait asymptomatique dans 40 % des cas ; lhmaturie tait observe dans 31 %, la douleur lombaire dans 15 % et la masse lombaire dans 3,73 %. La tomodensitomtrie tait utilise dans 90 % des cas et lIRM dans 10 %. Les tumeurs taient gauches dans 55 % des cas et droites dans 45 %. Le carcinome cellules claires reprsentait 69 % des cas, le carcinome papillaire 17 % et le carcinome chromophobe 11 %. Le stade pT2 tait le plus frquent (40 %). Conclusion : Cette srie souligne certaines particularits du cancer du rein en Algrie. La rduction des facteurs de risque, le recours croissant aux approches conservatrices et mini-invasives pour les formes localises et le dveloppement de loncogntique constituent des axes importants pour la prise en charge future.

OpenWQ (Open Water Quality) is a model-agnostic, multi-chemistry biogeochemical framework written in C++ that extends existing hydrological and Earth system models with flexible water-quality simulation. It couples to host models (e.g., SUMMA, mizuRoute, CRHM) through a model-agnostic API and lightweight host-specific couplers, separating process representations from the numerical solver. Interchangeable modules cover dissolved transport, user-defined biogeochemical reaction networks (and PHREEQC geochemistry), sediment transport, lateral exchange, and sorption, all configured through JSON files. The release includes the Python supporting scripts for model configuration, land-cover-based nutrient loading, observation retrieval from GRQA, calibration (DDS), and post-processing.This is the version used in Costa et al.

Аннотация. В тезисе представлены новые формы работы с родителями в процессе профориентации учащихся 9 классов, разработанные на основе принципов стандарта ISO-21001. К ним относятся: итоговая беседа с родителями, презентация электронного портфолио, информационное письмо для родителей, заполнение листа «Я выбрал!» и протокол итоговой беседы. Экспериментальная работа проводилась в 6 школах с участием 384 респондентов. В экспериментальной группе 100% учащихся прошли итоговую беседу с родителями (в контрольной группе - 38%), уровень поддержки родителей составил 92% (в контрольной - 70%), качество беседы - 12,4 балла (в контрольной - 8,2 балла), удовлетворённость учащихся своим решением - 90% (в контрольной - 68%). Результаты статистически обоснованы (p<0,001).
