“…The reasons could be attributed to carelessness, discomfort due to hot tropical climate conditions, and cost or unavailability of protective devices. The present Wnding was consistent with the studies from other countries (Yassin et al 2006;Kishi et al 1995). Data from this study reXect the actual situation in agricultural Weld and intervention strategy is needed.…”

“…These results are consistent with findings of different local studies which showed similar results in different areas in the Gaza Strip-Palestine (2,3,20,21,25,26,32). As well, different findings worldwide revealed correlation between quality of water, sanitation systems and hygiene behavior with waterborne disease frequency in different countries (22)(23)(24)27).…”

Lack of sustainability of water supply and sanitation services are always considered as major issue in developing countries that accounts for high prevalence of water borne diseases. The aim of this study is to identify the common water borne diseases among people of Al Shuka rural community in the Gaza Strip -Palestine. Cross-sectional study was conducted; the researcher utilized an oral-administrated questionnaire. A simple random sample technique was conducted to collect data. Based on the study results it is concluded that about 34.6% of the study sample have suffered from diarrhea. While 54.8% of the study suffered from other waterborne disease which include dermal disease (skin), colic disease (stomach pain) and eyes disease during last two weeks before filling the questionnaire. Accordingly, safe and clean water supply should be ensured in order to cover people needs and protect their health. Also, conducting public awareness campaigns and behaviour change towards improving the surrounded environment, personal hygiene, cleanliness and sanitary programs should be ensured mainly in rural and vulnerable area of the Gaza Strip.

This article describes the preparation and characterization of anticancer drug-loaded poly(lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA) microparticles. PLGA microparticles loaded with doxorubicin HCl (DOX) were prepared via o/w emulsion solvent evaporation. The release characteristics, encapsulation efficiency, size, and morphology of the PLGA microparticles were also determined. A cytotoxicity test was performed by using Glioma RG2 cancer cells to investigate the cytotoxicity of DOX-loaded PLGA microparticles. The DOXloaded PLGA microparticles had an average diameter of 500 ± 9 nm. The DOX encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were 22.75% and 0.78%, respectively. DOX-loaded PLGA microparticles displayed a significant cytotoxicity toward the RG2 cells as compared to the unloaded PLGA microparticles.
