Patients who previously sustained non-contact ACL injury and had ACL reconstruction (ACLR) showed higher risk of sustaining a second ACL injury compared with individuals who did not sustain primary ACL injury. Persistent poor neuromuscular control reflecting on high-risk movement patterns at the contralateral lower limb, has been proposed as modified risk factors, which may exist even post ACLR. The long-term benefits of an effective rehabilitation program which focus on improving neuromuscular control may also be realised, both by the full restoration of functional performance and by the improved of the lower limb reflecting on better ability of post ACLR individuals to participate in lifetime activity with lower chances of sustaining 2nd ACL injury. Objective: Introduction of perturbation training with lower limb alignment re-adjustment by using (APOS). Methods: Participants: Five physical active healthy participants. All had had ACLR and completed their rehabilitation program and been returned to participate in sporting activities. All participants showed plane projection angle (FPPA) while performing Single Leg Squat exceed 8°. Interventions: The participants were instructed to use APOS during walking while performing their daily activities for period of minimum of 60 minutes on a daily basis for six weeks. Main Outcome Measurements: Centre of Pressure (COP) measures for Postural stability during Single leg stance (SLs) and KOOS questionnaire. Results: COP measures during SLs task showed significant improvement, and significant improvement in KOOS quality of life (QOL) subscales. Conclusion: poor postural stability has been considered a main mechanism for sustaining a 2nd ACL injury in patients who had ACLR surgery. The finding of this study is the first to show the promising concept of utilising foot-worn biomechanical interventions may be a different method for mitigating risks of a 2nd ACL injury.

The prevalence of epilepsy in subjects with DS is reported to range from 1% to 13%, higher than in the general population but lower than in patients with mental retardation. Aim: To find the prevalence of convulsion in Down syndrome patients attending pediatric hospital at Benghazi and to find the associated factors related to convulsion in Down syndrome patients. Methodology: cross –sectional study included all Down syndrome patients admitted to pediatric hospital during two years period ( 2020- 2021) , and Patients attending both genetic and neurological clinics during the same years. Results: Total number of cases was 150; History of convulsion was positive in (18)12% of Down syndrome patients. Majority (89%) of patients had generalized tonic clonic, 5.5% had focal convulsion, and 5.5 % had infantile spasm, all patients were in treatment and had good response. Males constitute to 61% of all patients with male to female ratio 1.6:1. Nearly half (50.4%) of male patients their age was 1- 5years, while 43.8% of females was in same age group. Majority of mothers age were > 32years, 88% of all mothers their age 30years or above. All patients with convulsion had no complication during delivery, while 9% of patients without convulsion had complications. More than half (61.5%) of the patients the convulsion started before the age of one year. Results of EEG were abnormal in 25% of patients with convulsion. Conclusion: Normal ECHO was found in 33% of all cases, Atrial septal defect was recorded in 27% of patients with convulsion and 19.5% of patients without convulsion, Ventricular septal defect and Atrial septal defect in 15.4% of patients with convulsion and 10.3% of patients without convulsion, Patent ductus arterious was in 11.5% of patients with convulsion and 3.2%of patients without convulsion. More than half (69.2%) of patients with convulsion had history of congenital heart disease, and 71.4% of patients without convulsion had history of congenital heart disease.

Najat, Elrugige Studies on Kawasaki disease (KD) in Arab countries are scarce, often providing incomplete data. This along with the benefts of multicenter research collaboratives led to the creation of the KD Arab Initiative [Kawarabi] consortium. An anonymous survey was completed among potential collaborative Arab medical institutions to assess burden of KD in those countries and resources available to physicians. An online 32-item survey was distributed to participating institutions after conducting face validity. One survey per institution was collected. Nineteen physicians from 12 countries completed the survey representing 19 out of 20 institutions (response rate of 95%). Fifteen (79%) institutions referred to the 2017 American Heart Association guidelines when managing a patient with KD. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is not readily available at 2 institutions (11%) yet available in the country. In one center (5%), IVIG is imported on-demand. The knowledge and awareness among countries’ general population was graded (0 to 10) at median/interquartiles (IQR) 3 (2–5) and at median/IQR 7 (6–8) in the medical community outside their institution. Practice variations in KD management and treatment across Arab countries require solid proactive collaboration. The low awareness and knowledge estimates about KD among the general population contrasted with a high level among the medical community. The Kawarabi collaborative will ofer a platform to assess dis ease burden of KD, among Arab population, decrease practice variation and foster population-based knowledge.

Najat, Elrugige Background: Treatment of pediatric malignancy has greatly improved and survival according to SEER data, mortality rate declined by 40 percent between 1975 and 1995. This declined in mortality has accompanied by increase in the recognition of long term side effect from treatment of childhood cancer, one of major complication is cardiac, during or after administration of anthracyclin patient can develop acute cardiac toxicity. Aim: To determine the incidence of clinical cardiotoxicity from anthracycline chemotherapy in children with cancer and to identify risk factors. Material and Method: One-year study (2021) to children with cancer were received anthracycline as part of chemotherapy at Children Hospital Benghazi. Results: During the study period one year (Jan.2021- Dec. 2021) 51 cases received anthracyclin as part of chemotherapy were evaluated with echocardiography there is male predominance represented 62.7% & females37.3%, M: F 1.6:1, Age range from 5 months to 14 years, the commonest age group 1-5 years around 25cases represented 49%, Most cases evaluated in our study diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) 24 cases represented 47.1%, 9 cases with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) 17%, Lymphoma 7 cases represented 13,7%, wilm’s tumor 5 cases 9.8%, neuroblastoma 3 cases 5.8%, Each of Retinoblastoma, adrenocortical carcinoma and hepatoblastoma 1 case (2%), 34 cases were evaluated still on treatment 66.7%, 17 cases 33.3% were finished treatment on follow up 29 cases were received treatment for less than or equal to one year represented to 56.9%, while 22 cases 43.1% >1year, We were divided the patient according to type of anthracyclin (Adriamycin or douanomycin) results show those received Adriamycin only 39.2%, cases were received douanomycin 7.8%, while cases received both of them 53%, 35.9 % of cases received total doses between 201-250 mg\ S.A of anthracyclin, 25 cases 32.1% were received less than 100 mg\S. A, Echocardiography finding were normal in 47 cases represented 92.2%, Acute dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) noted in 1.9%, was improved with treatment reversible, 3 cases with chronic dilated cardiomyopathy represented 5.9%, these 3 cases need treatment and follow up cardiac clinic for long life, 2 cases with trisomy 21 represented 4%, received anthracyclin chemotherapy without complication, 2 cases have congenital heart disease (4%) one has patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), 2nd ventricular septal defect (VSD), Both of them received anthracyclin chemotherapy without complication, When we compare cases that develop cardiac complications with age 1 case below one year, 2 cases between 6 – 10 years, 1 case more than 10 years of age, 4 cases with cardiac complication 3 cases were males, 1 case was female, 4 cases with cardiac complication 3 were males,1female. When compare result of Echo with type of drugs if child was received Adriamycin, duanomycin or both of them, with duanomycin only 1 had cardiac toxicity, with adriamycin 1 had cardiac toxicity, 27 patients were received both types of anthracyclin 2 patients get cardiac complications 7.8%. Conclusion: Our study proven anthracyclin is cardio toxic drugs especially in young age group, no mortality in our study, but anthracyclin causing morbidity, No differences between males and females.
