“…The literature showed that the vast majority of OSCC cases worldwide occur in the fifth to the eighth decade of life [13,14]. Similar to our result, the other previous Sudanese studies reported a median age of 53-60 years at the initial presentation [3,6,15]. Although the last two decades showed a noticeable involvement in the young age groups, as reported by Liu et al [16], worldwide incidence rates of oral cancer differ dramatically between both genders due to different environmental and social factors.…”

“…The sort of carcinogenic material, duration of tissue contact and dose, frequency, and combination of the different carcinogens; all are involved with different degrees in the process of cancer development [5]. Top on the carcinogenic materials is tobacco in its different forms of usage [6]. Toombak is a moist form of snuff, well known as a risk factor of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Sudan.…”

“…Clinically, the "Snuff Dippers' Lesions" present as varieties of presentations ranging from wrinkling to different discolorations associated with different mucosal thickening [11]. In the last decade, Suleiman reported five different presentations of clinical mucosal changes at the site of Toombak dipping among Sudanese dippers: Presentation I: wrinkling with slight discoloration, Presentation II: Café au lait discoloration (brownish discoloration), Presentation III: white-smoke discoloration, Presentation IV: grizzle (a mixture between white and dark discoloration), and Presentation V: cotton-white discoloration [6]. Recently, Abdalla et al [12] described in their clinical examination of their patients the predominance of "Presentation I" in 43.5% of the cases, followed by Presentations: III and II accounting for 16.1% and 14.9%, respectively.…”

Background. The late presentation of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients in Sudan, with advanced stages and wide field of cancerization (WFC), has a negative impact on these patients. The present study aimed to investigate the different clinical presentations of mucosal changes in WFC associated with OSCC in Sudanese patients. Methods. This a prospective longitudinal study of 93 OSCC cases. Tumor’s associated field of cancerization was identified and related clinical mucosal changes were described. Results. Out of the 93 patients, 57 (61.3%) were males and 36 (38.7%) were females. Eighty-two percent of the patients presented with stage IV tumors. Ninety-two patients had multiple sites involved in the oral cavity with overlap of sites involved. The Gingivobuccal mucosa (74.2%) was the most frequent site involved. Eighty-three (89.2%) of the lesions were surrounded by mucosal changes, of them 32 (38%) surrounded by a grizzle (mixed dark and white) discoloration and 21 (26%) were surrounded by a white-smoke discoloration followed by 17 (20%) and 13 (16%) surrounded by cotton-white and Café au lait discolorations, respectively. Forty-four (47.3%) lesions had overlapping presentations and surrounded by erythematous patches. Conclusion. The present study showed that OSCC patients in Sudan present with advanced lesions, mostly associated with WFC, particularly the Toombak dippers. The different mucosal changes seen in the WFC associated with OSCC in these cases are in accordance with the known five mucosal presentations.

“…Also analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for comparison between the different age groups using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer package version 20. At 95% confidence level of p. value <0.05 was considered statistically significant Results: 15.3%, their mean age was 46.7years (ranged between 28 to 75 years), Female to male ratio was 5.5:1 (table 2) Our findings are similar to a study in our local population by (Suleiman, 1977) and from , Iraq. By (Hadi et al, 2012) which revealed that, the ratio of female to male were 5.3:1 and 5:1 respectively.…”

Cholelithiasis is one of the most prevalent diseases in gastroenterology, and it is a major public health problem in all developed countries. It has the most common in patient diagnosis among gastrointestinal and liver diseases and it accounts for many hospital admissions and surgical interventions in our local population. Gallstone disease also known to cause liver disease and defragment of its enzymes. Our main objective in the this study was to investigate the biochemical changes in serum liver enzyme and total bilirubin associated with Cholelithiasis. High incidence of cholelithiasis was more prominent among females 127(84.7%) relatives to males 23(15.3%), giving males to females ratio (1:5.5).The most affected age groups were 41-50 years .The majority of patients 62(41.33%) were obese and their body mass index (BMI) 25-30. The most common type of stones was Mixed stones (MS). Serum liver enzymes level of patients was found to be nearly within the same range, whereas their serum total bilirubin significantly increased in comparison with the control group. Furthermore, it is found that there was significant difference between males and females in ALT and AST in patients group. The serum total bilirubin of the patients with pigment stones was significantly elevated. Cholelithiasis is an important cause to significant pathological changes in serum total bilirubin and slight changes in liver enzymes.

“…Regecová et al [26] reported the occurrence of microscopic filamentous fungi of Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., and Alternaria alternate group in chicken eggs. Similar results were obtained by Rajmani et al [34]. In the study of Neamatallah et al [35], 38% of the eggs examined were contaminated with spores of potentially toxinogenic Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Fusarium species.…”

Identification of Penicillium verrucosum, Penicillium commune, and Penicillium crustosum Isolated from Chicken Eggs

Penicillium species belong to main causative agents of food spoilage leading to significant economic losses and potential health risk for consumers. These fungi have been isolated from various food matrices, including table eggs. In this study, both conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Polymerase Chain Reaction-Internal Transcribed Spacer-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-ITS-RFLP) methods were used for species identification of Penicillium (P.) spp. isolated from the eggshells of moldy chicken eggs. Seven restriction endonucleases (Bsp1286I, XmaI, HaeIII, HinfI, MseI, SfcI, Hpy188I) were applied to create ribosomal restriction patterns of amplified ITS regions. To identify P. verrucosum, P. commune, and P. crustosum with the help of conventional PCR assay, species-specific primer pairs VERF/VERR, COMF/COMR, and CRUF/CRUR were designed on the base of 5.8 subunit-Internal Transcribed Spacer (5.8S-ITS) region. Altogether, 121 strains of microscopic filamentous fungi were isolated by traditional culture mycological examination. After morphological evaluation of both macroscopic and microscopic features, 96 strains were classified in Penicillium spp. Two molecular methods used have confirmed eight isolates as P. verrucosum, 42 isolates as P. commune, and 19 isolates as P. crustosum. Both PCR-ITS-RFLP and conventional PCR assays appear to be suitable alternatives for rapid identification of the above mentioned Penicillium species.
