Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and sixth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide, with an estimated recorded number of 1.1 million cases and 307,000 deaths which allocates 15% of all new cases of cancer in men. Androgen receptor (AR) expression is maintained throughout prostate cancer progression, and the majority of androgen –independent or hormone refractory prostate cancers express Androgen receptor. HER2/neu, a biological marker named human epidermal growth factor receptor -2[EGFR-2] is also known as c-erb-2 plays a major role in understanding the oncogenesis of prostate adenocarcinoma and has a significant prognosis in the disease. Aim of The Study: To study the histomorphological features and grading of prostatic neoplasms with Gleason’s scoring. To study over the expression of HER2/neu & androgen receptor status in prostate neoplasm. To study the correlation of Gleason’s scoring with AR & HER2/neu expression in prostate cancer. All patients who were diagnosed to have prostatic cancer and PIN and were diagnosed by prostatic biopsy either by prostatectomy, TURP or Trucut procedure were included in the study and were examined for analyzing various histomorphological features and grading of various neoplasms of prostate with correlation to overexpression of immmunohistochemical markers Her2/neu and AR. Conclusion: This study may help the clinician in finding out her2/neu over expressed cases and implementing anti her2/neu therapy along with androgen deprived therapy for longer survival of prostate cancer patients although further studies on larger series of prostate carcinoma is required for new generation of more efficient anti her2 drugs.

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic has required the world’s educational sector to rapidly adjust its delivered methods and not to be too dependent on face-to-face interactions. The Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia took advantage of what was already a well-developed common digital platform to extend its use of multimedia remote working. Aim and methods: This integrative review aims to address the effectiveness of multimedia distance education on university students and in particular nurses’ knowledge and skill development. Result: Eighteen articles were included and organized into two themes: what Types of multimedia methods are there in use for skills development and effectiveness of multimedia methods at augmenting practical skills in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Summary: The challenge in the post-pandemic era for Saudi health care education is to conduct a fresh examination of how and what types of e-learning or m-learning can supplement or augment nurses knowledge and practical skills development. However, the principal lesson to be learnt from this review is that the technological development and design of any of the systems has to meaningfully address the learners' needs and not just simply drive learning per se. Key messages: Saudi Arabia’s Universities are well situated to take full advantage of the expansion of e-learning initiatives. Nursing Departments need to explore the use of augmented reality to improve the development of practical knowledge and skill, but what is developed must be driven by the learner’s individual ability and needs.

Staphylococus aureus is a major agent of bacteremia in children in African where malaria is endemic and always presented with the same symptoms. The main objective of this study is to determine the co-infection of malaria and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in children less than 5 years using standard procedures from a major secondary health center in Ilorin, Kwara State and determine antibiotics susceptibility of S. aureus. A total number of 235samples blood from febrile children suspected of having bacteremia were screened, 138 of the children were females and 97 were males. A total of 39 (16.6%) with positive blood culture was recorded in this study and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) detected is 20.5%. Age distribution of bacteremia were 14.3, 17.4, 27.3, 13.5 and 14.3 % for children in the age group ≤1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 years respectively while SAB distribution were 24.4, 12.5, 22.2, and 66.6 for children in the age group 1 month-1, 1-2, and 4-5 years above respectively. Also, a total number of 148 (63%) have a positive malaria parasite test, co-infection of malaria and bacteremia detected in 18 children with 6 (33.3%) having SAB and malaria co-infection. Age distribution of co-infection of malaria and SAB were 33.3, 50, and 25% with no co-infection recorded in age group 3-5years. A total of 2 (25%) methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were isolated. Antibiotic sensitivity profile shows that 62.5% of S. aureus were resistance to cefuroxime, 80% to cefepime and 100% sensitivity to augmentin, linezolid, teicoplanin, ofloxacin, gentamicin and vancomycin. Age is an important risk for development of SAB and prompt treatment with a suitable antibiotics is required to reduce mortality associated with bacteremia.

The gifted education is an old field for America and for France which tackled the special education needs for gifted students with researchers whose concepts of mental age and intelligence testing transformed the standards of the psychological science. Thus, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is still considered premature in this field where minimal attention has been granted to the gifted education area, which is a division of special education. This study aims to explore how inclusive is a British school (BS) in Dubai (UAE) for gifted students, by critically analysing its gifted education policy practices, through the framework of a case study. In order to investigate how inclusive is a British school in Dubai for gifted students, the researcher critically analysed its gifted education policy practices, compared to gifted policy international standards, through a qualitative research approach with a content analysis method. The Findings revealed that the British school gifted policy has few gaps compared to Purcell and Eckert’ standards. Few recommendations were written by the researcher to be provided to the British school educational stakeholders to improve the gifted policy and to enhance the gifted students’ conditions at school.
