“…In the current study, the frequency of sound FPMs was (825 teeth; 55%), while the frequency of carious FPMs was (675 teeth; 45%). These finding is disagree with the results reported among 6-14 years old Sudanese children, showed the carious FPMs was 61%, and sound molars were 39% [8] , in Libya caries-free teeth in the permanent dentition were 63.8% while caries teeth were 36.2% [9] , and in Egypt 62.8% had dental caries [10] . A similar study in Syria showed caries rate was higher 78.7% [11] , in Libyans children aged 12 years caries incidence was high 57.8% [12] .…”

Background: Oral health has a key role in the public health and well-being, dental caries is the most common oral disease in the world. The first permanent molar (FPMs) has been introduced as an index for predicting caries activity. Aim: To compare the dental caries incidences of FPMs among two age group's children in Benghazi city, Libya. Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted of 375 children aged 6-12 years. The sample was divided into two groups according their ages, Group A, which included 150 children with age ranging between 6 to 8 years old. While group B which involved 225 children with age ranged from 9 to 12 years old. The diagnosis of caries was based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS, version 16 and Chi-square test was used. Results: In group A, the frequency of carious FPMs were (186 teeth; 12.4%), whereas sounds were (414 teeth; 27.6%). However in group B, the frequency of sound FPMs were (411 teeth; 27.4%), while carious were (489 teeth; 32.6%). A significant difference was found between the two age groups regarding caries incidence (P< 0.0001). The incidence of carious molars in group B was higher in the lower left jaw (9.4%). Conclusion: Significant differences were found between two groups regarding caries incidence of FPMs. However, the highest rate of carious FPMs was found in group B, thus caries incidences of FPMs is increased as age increased, A significant difference (P< 0.05) was found between two groups regarding the distributions of caries in the different segment of dental arch. Recommendation: FPMs are very important teeth for maintaining integrity of the dental arches. However, the incidences of caries in FPMs were increased with the age. Therefore, it is recommended that it necessary to pay careful preventive strategies involving fissure sealant, home care and fluoride applications. In addition, promote the educational programmers' for parents.

“…In this study, the anemia in males was 53.9%, while the percentage of anemia in females was 46.1%.The prevalence of IDA in this study was higher in males than females. Contrary to Abdel-Rasoul et al [13] showed no significant difference in the prevalence of IDA between girls (57.3%) and boys (42.5%). Mohamed et al [14] showed that, iron deficiency was found in 20.4 % of the children.…”

Background: Anemia is described as a decreased erythrocyte count and or hemoglobin value below the 5 th percentile of the usual hemoglobin value specified for that age in healthy individuals. Aim of the Work:To assess the iron status and evaluate the iron deficiency and their association with the development of motor activity and anthropometric measurement in one-year-old infants. Patients and Methods:This randomized cross-sectional study is performed on 200 infants aged one year in primary care unit at vaccination set in Damietta governorate. 45% Of them were females and 55% were males all of them underwent laboratory tests (complete blood count (CBC), serum ferritin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), serum iron), growth and developmental assessment.Result: 34% of infants were with normal hemoglobin ,serum iron and ferritin ,infants who have deficiency of iron were 25%, infants who have anemia without iron deficiency were 15% and. Infants who have iron deficiency anemia26%, of them 26.9% were underweight, 23.1% were stunted and 26.9% were delayed development, but growth and development unaffected in other cases. Conclusion:The percentage of iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency is high in infants at one year, so we must start iron therapy at the first year to avoid the effects of iron deficiency on growth and development.

“…According to the 2014 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey, more than one in four children in Egypt suffer from some degree of anemia [4]. A study conducted in El Menoufia Governorate showed that 25.6% of children aged 6-11 years old have IDA [5]. Another study conducted in El Fayoum Governorate in Upper Egypt showed that 64% of the children had IDA [6].…”

BACKGROUND: In Egypt, more than one in four children suffers from some degree of anemia. AIM: This study was carried out to assess and improve the nutritional knowledge and risky nutritional habits of the mothers of anemic children aged 2–12 years old in El Othmanyia village. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An interventional study was conducted among anemic children aged 2–12 years old and their mothers in El Othmanyia village, Egypt. The study passed through three stages over 1 and ½ years; pre-interventional assessment of awareness (n = 350), educational interventions targeting anemic children and their mothers, and post-interventional evaluation of change in awareness and practice. RESULTS: The mean knowledge % score of mothers increased significantly after the intervention (82.2 ± 14.2 vs. 6.3 ± 5.8, respectively). Furthermore, the mean hemoglobin of the studied children increased significantly after the intervention (11.1 ± 0.7 vs. 10.5 ± 0.7). The percent of children with anemia decreased significantly from 100% to 40.3% after the intervention (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The knowledge and practices of mothers are moving in a desirable direction after the health education intervention. Hence, nutrition education is an appropriate, effective, and sustainable approach to combat iron deficiency anemia. Recommendations: A multiple interventional strategies between different ministries to set policies and guidelines that support the healthy nutritional behavior among children are recommended.
