Social Media Use and Sexual Harassment Propensity among Female Youth in Perak
Authors: Mohamad Farah Fazlinda
Published: January 2023

Malaysia has been recorded as having one of the highest internet penetration rates in the Southeast Asia region. To date, there are 30.25 million active social media users in Malaysia. This statistic indicated the growing number of social media users, which can be referred to as a blessing in disguise for Malaysia. One of the devastating impacts is the rising number of sexual harassment cases in Malaysia. Thus, this study is conducted to study the impact of social media use and sexual harassment propensity among female youth in Perak. A quantitative survey was conducted with 384 female youth in several localities in Perak using cluster sampling. Based on the survey, it was indicated that the frequency of social media use among female youth in Perak is moderate, and the sexual harassment propensity recorded from them is low. However, this study has shown that there is a significant relationship between social media use and sexual harassment propensity. As this is a quantitative study, it is recommended that future scholars conduct a qualitative study to explore this issue thoroughly. Furthermore, future studies can recruit participants from both genders, as the current trend shows men among the rising victims of sexual harassment. To improve this situation in the future, every stakeholder—parents, educators, ministries, and relevant bodies—should explore feasible solutions to enhance media users’ awareness and understanding of this issue.

Introduction. The change in the classical etiological paradigm of hepatocellular carcinoma has led to the fact that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is now the fastest growing cause of hepatocellular carcinoma in the world. Purpose. To study the range of medicines and analyze the costs of drug provision for a determined population of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Moscow over a three-year period. Materials and methods. Based on data from the Moscow Department of Health on preferential drug coverage for the period from 2019 to 2021 the range of drug therapy and the economic costs. Results. For 3 years, seventeen thousand two hundred ten patients with a diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease received preferential drug coverage in Moscow, and the amount of costs minus payment by the patient amounted to 49,102,963.97 rubles. The most prescribed drugs were drugs from the group of “hepatoprotectors”. An increase in the population of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease over a three-year period by 1.7 times, an increase in the cost of its drug provision. Along with this, the prevalence in the spectrum of drugs was revealed: glycyrrhizic acid + phospholipids; phospholipids; ursodeoxycholic acid; ademetionine is not found in international practice and is not funded under the nosology “non-alcoholic fatty liver disease”. Limitations. When studying options for drug provision of patients with non -alcoholic fatty liver disease, we had an assessment of 17,210 observations, which is a sufficient reference sample Conclusion. Analysis of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the population of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can be an effective tool for predicting the social and economic burden of the disease and can be used for rational planning of budget expenditures of all levels.

Published: January 2023

The study of the role of chemicals of industrial origin in the development of cardiovascular pathology determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of the work is to study the features of cardiac structural and functional disorders in residents of the industrial region of the Far North under the exposure of nickel and arsenic. Materials and methods. The study included one hundred fifty eight women living in the industrial center of the Far North with the location of large metallurgical enterprises (observation group) and 65 women living in similar climatic and geographical conditions, but without the location of industrial enterprises (comparison group). An echocardiographic study was carried out with the measurement of structural and doppler parameters of the heart on an expert-class ultrasonic scanner “Vivid q”. Results. In the observation group the values of myocardial performance indices (MPI) values for mitral annulus (0.55 ± 0.09 vs. 0.48 ± 0.07, p=0.005) and tricuspid annulus (0.57 ± 0.10 vs. 0.48 ± 0.06, p=0.001) were higher than in the comparison group. A gain in the concentration of nickel in the blood is associated with an increase in isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) of the mitral atrioventricular ring (p=0.0001) and systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery (p=0.00002). An increase in the concentration of arsenic in the blood is associated with an increase in the filling pressure of the left ventricle (E/Em) and end diastolic diameter of the left ventricle (EDD LV) (p=0.0001), the diameters of the right ventricle (RV) and right atrium (RA) (p=0.0001), and rate of late diastolic filling of the RV and MPI of the tricuspid atrio-ventricular ring (p=0.0001). Limitations. This study did not include middle aged and elderly women, and also did not include male patients and did not include the population of other territories except the Far North. Conclusion. The revealed changes in echocardiographic parameters indicate subclinical dysfunctions of the myocardium of the left and right ventricles, affecting both systolic and diastolic function in residents of the industrial city of the Far North, living under the influence of nickel and arsenic.

Results. The considered professional competencies (PC) fully correspond to the goals and objectives of the discipline «Healthy lifestyle and disease prevention» and are not directly related to the discipline «Microbiology». The most appropriate professional competence for the discipline «Emergency Medicine» is «readiness to organize medical care in emergency situations», does not fully correspond to the labor function defined by the professional standard. Limitations of the study. Research is limited by the number and features of the disciplines taught. Conclusion. For the discipline «Emergency Medicine», adjustment of professional competence is required in accordance with the requirements of the professional standard, and the proposed subject of the discipline «Microbiology» can be studied in other disciplines of the residency program, which will be relevant in connection with the introduction of the new Federal State Educational Standard in 2023, where it is noted that professional competencies are determined by the educational institution independently.
International aspects of anti-vaccination attitude: implications for public health (literature review)
Authors: Pivovarova Oksana A. , Kuraeva Viktoriya M.
Published: January 2023

Successful immunization programmes are the result of high vaccine effectiveness and timely use. Numerous studies have shown that immunization will be effective with government support, taking into account the local culture of the population, and approaches to vaccination to optimize results. Purpose. Summarize the world’s data on existing immunization programs and their accompanying problems. Literature search methods included search queries, in the form of a set of keywords «vaccination/vaccine», «immunization», «anti-vaxxers», «pandemic», «public health» followed by full-text sources, Web of Science, Scopus, MedLine, The Cochrane Library. In the information retrieval systems, the analysis of the results was carried out, taking into account full compliance with the specified criteria of search among documents and sites. Unlike most medicines, which have limited benefits, vaccines prevent serious diseases and their public health consequences. Immunization outcome is determined by assessing the impact directly on the vaccinated person, indirectly on the unvaccinated community. The success of immunization depends on a level of universal coverage sufficient to interrupt pathogen transmission. Declines in immunization coverage will lead to a resurgence of diseases and new outbreaks with significant gain in the morbidity and mortality rate. In many cases, refusal to vaccinate is the result of people listening to beliefs and copying the behavior of others. An important consequence of this misperception is the potential involvement in the spread of an infectious pathogen due to the false belief that “vaccination is harmful”. Thus, ensuring the success of the continuity of immunization programs is the responsibility of citizens, health professionals and government, among others.

Introduction. Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignant neoplasm in men. The development of technologies requires the study of advanced research methods, an extraordinary, new limited-invasive method for diagnosing cancer - histoscanning of the prostate. Histoscan is an innovative imaging technique that is potent of differentiating between benign and malignant areas within the examined prostate tissue. With the new “True Targeting” software, it is possible to perform a “targeted” biopsy in real time. Purpose. To determine the efficacy and safety of performing histoscan-guided targeted biopsy of the prostate. Materials and methods. The prospective study with the inclusion of data from 2501 patients examined at the Clinic of urology of the Moscow State Medical University named after A.I. Evdokimov at the Municipal Clinical Hospital named after S.I. Spasokukotsky. Results. The average age of the patients was 66 years, the level of prostate specific antigen was about 14,39 ng/ml, the volume of the prostate was 54,43 cm3. The overall incidence of prostate cancer was 53,38%, with a biopsy of 12 points - 52,1%, while with a targeted biopsy- 37,58%. Among the biopsy complications, hemospermia (Clavien-Dindo - I) was most often (33% of cases), hematuria (Clavien-Dindo - I-II) in 15% of cases. No serious complications were identified. Limitations. As restrictions, the following were identified: prostate biopsy-subject, 2501 patients - a quantitative parameter, patients with suspected prostate cancer - a qualitative indicator. Conclusion. The published results of the study showed that histoscan-guided biopsy ofthe prostate is safe, effective, and therefore has alarge potential in cancer diagnosis, as it helps both in choosing a treatment method and in planning the course of further surgery.

Comparative Analysis of Encryption Algorithms
Authors: Olutola Agbelusi , Olumuyiwa Matthew
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Encryption algorithm allows users to extend the assurance found in the physical world to the electronic world in the carrying out of our day-to-day activities. This research attempts to make a comparative evaluation of two encryption algorithms (Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest Shamir Algorithm (RSA) in order to ascertain the most reliable in terms of their encryption time, decryption time, Key length, and cipher length.

Methodology: Java programming was used for the development and Mongo Db to generate data parsing.

Findings: The results obtained from the development revealed that AES is considered more efficient because it uses lesser time for encryption and decryption, reduces cipher and key length as compared with RSA which consumes longer encryption and decryption time, and increases cipher and key length. Excel package was also used to display the pictorial representation of the comparison between these algorithms.

Recommendation: Advanced encryption standard is recommended for security-based application developers because of the small time of encryption and decryption.

Published: January 2023

The relevance of the school curriculum cannot be over emphasised in every form of education system. Of vital importance in the upholding of curriculum relevance in any society is the insurance that it is well contextualised or localised. When the curriculum is not contextualised and its implementation process not localised, the education system risk producing learners in a vacuum who may not eventually play a significant role in solving various societal glitches. If a country is to achieve rapid economic growth however, its education should be related to productivity (Bishop, 1985). Some of the solutions to problems currently encountered in African societies and communities Zambia inclusive, must proceed from understanding the dynamics with the local context. It is from this background that this study was undertaken to explore perspectives on practical measures and policies in enhancing the implementation of the localised curriculum in Mwansabombwe district of Zambia. The researchers used qualitative research approach specifically descriptive research design to collect, analyse and interpret data. Out of the study population of 30,000 residents of Mwansabombwe district, 50 respondents were purposively sampled whose break downs were as follows; 10 local community members, 10 learners, 20 teachers, 5 officers from Mwansabombwe District Education Board Secretary’s office (DEBS) and 5 Education Standards Officers. Both semi structured interview guide and focus group discussion guide were used to collect data and content analysis was used to analyse the collected data. Research findings revealed that there was no effective implementation of the localised curriculum in Mwansabombwe district. This was necessitated by lack of appropriate practical measures by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to address key issues such as those that had to do with; teaching and learning materials, lack of capacity building amongst the teaching staff, lack of motivation amongst the learners, teachers and community members as well as ignorance on pertinent issues surrounding the localisation of the curriculum amongst various stakeholders. Hence from the research findings, it was recommended that the MoE need to thoroughly conduct both needs assessment and situation analysis for the localisation of the curriculum to be effectively implemented in Zambian schools. Besides, the MoE needed to reinforce policy on localisation of the curriculum in schools if the country was to achieve the intended results about the localised curriculum.

COOPERATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAN BE INCLUSIVE IN THE EVENT OF CRISIS ? CONTRIBUTION OF COOPERATIVES TO THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC INCLUSION OF WOMEN IN MOROCCO
Authors: EL AZHARI Badr , LOTFI Houmam
Published: January 2023

Women's access to employment is a key issue in the fight against their vulnerability because of its impact on human and economic development. However, one of the most widely proposed solutions within the framework of the INDH (National Initiative for Human Development) program is the cooperative. Indeed, the latter has opened up great horizons, on the one hand, for the creation of economic and social projects whose main ambition is to improve living conditions and, on the other hand, for the identification of opportunities to respond to the specific needs of a vulnerable population marginalized by the capitalist economy, and on the realization of these opportunities through the implementation of adapted social entrepreneurial solutions. Cooperatives act to enable women to live in society in dignity through the creation of decent jobs and the equitable distribution of income. Social projects have multiplied in recent years in Morocco, thanks to the launch of the INDH. Cooperatives can play a central role in mitigating the negative effects of major crises. These cooperatives provide essential income for women. This is considered as a source of possible emancipation for women and as a contribution to the socio-economic development of the territories” (Guérin, 2011). In this context, we try to develop a line of thought on the role of the cooperative enterprise as the type of organization best suited to combat and reduce poverty and exclusion in all their forms. It can thus constitute a means of empowerment and emancipation of Moroccan women. The objective of our work is to present how cooperative entrepreneurship as a particular form of social entrepreneurship can help to raise awareness of the effects of the covid-19 pandemic, and to achieve inclusive territorial development.

THE ISSUE OF WORD AND MEANING BETWEEN AL-JAHIDH AND ABDULQAHIR ALJURJANI
Authors: Hasan MUSTAFA Muhammad
Published: January 2023

The duality of word and meaning is one of the most important issues of the Arab critical heritage, and it is also one of the most important axes of contemporary linguistic studies that often reproduce the heritage, and it is one of the main pillars upon which the sciences of Arabic rhetoric are based. Al-Jahidh and Al-Jurjani both have prominent positions in this discourse. The experts of criticism and rhetoric, traditional and modern, have all been enriching the discussion and they differed in the direction of their premises, their opinions varied, and the discussion diverged on the subject. One of the problems of this research is the broadening of the concept and its departure from the boundaries of the terminology, which led to a multiplicity of concepts within the framework of one term. The word and meaning have been viewed as the form and the content respectively, and this is the main idea suggested by AlJahidh, While Al-Jurjani views the word and meaning under the framework of Composing. Among the results of the research is the distinction found between the concepts of form and content, word and meaning, and dismantling the overlaps between them, and the emphasis on AlJarjani’s agreement with Al-Jahiz in the first concept, and his difference with him in the second. The research also sheds light on Al-Jurjani’s analysis of the compositions by excluding the word in favor of the meaning for motives related to discourse. The research concludes from Al-Jurjani’s analysis his distinction between the meanings of the word and the connotation. Keywords: Word, Meaning, Al-Jahidh, Al-Jurjani, Form, Content, Connotation

Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatic) is a vegetable plant that is needed by the community to meet their daily needs. In addition to the cheap price, kale is also good for health, especially preventing diabetes, overcoming anemia, preventing dehydration as well as increasing the immune system. Therefore, water spinach requires automatic watering and fertilizer application to help hydroponic kale farmers in good and efficient care. It can use a control system tool that can run water irrigation and automatic liquid fertilizer application. The tools used are microcontroller, flow sensor, Wemos D1, Soil Moisture Sensor, Real Time Clock, Relay, LCD 1602, and Servo Motor. In addition, using telegram bots as a final notification to hydroponic kale farmers that watering and fertilizer application has been completed, this is synchronized with the control system tool which provides input on the performance of the tool being late. So with the problems above, the author gives the title "Implementation of Control System for Water Sprinkling and Automatic Fertilizer Provision for Hydroponic Water spinach (Ipomoea Aquatic) Plants").

At present the Computer automated Face recognition systems are used for personal identification, but the Age variations of an individual poses a serious problem for it. Designing an appropriate feature representation and an effective matching framework for age invariant face recognition remains an open problem. To classify person age using faces author using combination of two CNN where one CNN will extract face features which can help in identify changes in face over time and second CNN helps in predicting/ classifying age. Face aging causes intra-subject variations (such as geometric changes during childhood & adolescence, wrinkles and saggy skin in old age) which negatively affects the accuracy of face recognition systems. Therefore, this paper proposes a unified, multi-task framework to jointly handle these two tasks, termed MTLFace, which can learn age-invariant identity-related representation while achieving pleasing face synthesis. Specifically, we first decompose the mixed face features into two uncorrelated components—identity- and age-related features—through an attention mechanism, and then decorrelate these two components using multi-task training and continuous domain adaption. d. This system will decrease the crimes and ensure the security in our society.

Published: January 2023

In a country where farming is still the most common vocation and conventional agricultural practises are still used, farmers can only expect a limited amount of crop yields, which is ultimately less advantageous for them than the inputs they provide. So, in order to maximise crop yields for a given input, we are demonstrating various techniques that will be helpful to create a recommendation system for smart farming. Agriculture has never been a lucrative industry in India despite being a big industry and major occupation there. We suggest a system that would evaluate soil properties (pH value, soil type, and nutrient concentration) as well as environmental factors (temperature, rainfall, and geographic location in terms of state) before advising the user on the best crop to plant. The numerous data mining approaches are discussed inthis work along with how they relate to soil fertility, nutrient analysis, and rainfall forecasting. Using decision trees, classification can be accomplished in data mining. One of the major problems that farmers confront is diseases that are affected on plant leaves, especially rice leaves. As a result, it is very challenging to deliver the amount of food required to feed the world's expanding population.Diseases affecting rice have reduced production and cost the agricultural industry money. Image acquisition, picture pre-processing, image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification are processes in the disease detection process. The techniques for identifying plant diseases using photographs of their leaves were covered in this essay. The segmentation and feature extraction algorithms utilised in the identification of plant diseases were also covered in this research.

Every person in this world throws waste in the form of plastics, wet waste, dry waste and etc. Also, every person looks for a place or a plastic container to dispose that waste, that plastic container is the Dustbin which they look for. Dustbin is a plastic container where everyone can dispose their waste. Dustbin is used as a storage place to dispose waste, but we cannot estimate the exact amount of waste disposed by a society, and the dustbin cannot take more waste as the space should be available in it to take more. We need to know the level of waste in the dustbin and based on that we can intimate people to use the dustbin or not. In this Smart Dustbin project, we have designed a prototype where the lid of the dustbin is opened, on detection of human hand and waste, and the level of waste available inside the dustbin is sent as notification in the form of LED. The main components we used in making this prototype are Arduino, NODEMCU, Servo Motor and Ultrasonic Sensors. The software component is the application named as Blynk which is used to get notification. This dustbin can be a start to Smart Waste Management System where the officials can clean or empty the dustbin which depends on the notification received by them and not waiting for a call from a person of a society who informs the garbage trucks to come and take the waste from them.

La normativa actual no establece disposiciones específicas sobre la aplicación de la tradicional figura del accidente de trabajo (art. 156 Ley general de la Seguridad Social) a la prestación de servicios en régimen de teletrabajo (ni la Ley 10/2021, de trabajo a distancia, ni el RDL 29/2020, lo hacen), por lo que los juzgados y tribunales (como es el caso del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Galicia) se están ocupando de resolver la casuística existente, marcando criterios interpretativos que, en caso de divergencia, tendrá que casar el Tribunal Supremo.
La protección de las familias monoparentales: ¿es la acumulación judicial de permisos una solución en derecho?
Authors: Andrade Santana María José
Published: January 2023

El comentario analiza las diversas posiciones judiciales en torno a la duración del permiso por nacimiento en las familias monoparentales, 16 semanas de un progenitor o 32, acumulando el permiso como si existiesen dos progenitores. En espera de una debida reforma legal, los pronunciamientos judiciales asumen criterios opuestos. El núcleo central del debate reside en si existe discriminación de la madre monoparental frente a la biparental y/o, en su caso, de la persona menor cuidada, interpretando el artículo 14 de la Constitución española en clave de la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño. Finalmente, se da cuenta de algún aspecto procesal, importante para la efectividad de la tutela judicial («juzgando y haciendo ejecutar lo juzgado»). Y ello porque las sentencias favorables a acumular los permisos presentan ciertos inconvenientes para su ejecución.

La selección de un material adecuado en la enseñanza del alemán es una condición clave para el éxito del aprendizaje. Una evaluación apropiada del material y su comparación con otros depende de la fiabilidad del método aplicado. En este trabajo se presenta la metodología aplicada a la elaboración de una herramienta de evaluación cuantitativa de materiales para la enseñanza del alemán. Por un lado, se definen los criterios que debe cumplir la herramienta, los cuales determinan el proceso de su desarrollo. Por otro lado, se identifican los ítems que se deben medir según los conocimientos, las competencias y, en un sentido amplio, las exigencias didácticas hacia estos objetivos, las limitaciones y las posibilidades que suponen los materiales digitales. En este artículo se explica el procedimiento aplicado a la agrupación de los ítems identificados, su forma de medir, evaluar y compararlos. Asimismo, se clarifica el procedimiento de su validación por expertos, las correcciones aplicadas según su resultado, y se detalla la implementación tecnológica elegida. Para verificar su viabilidad se aplica a tres materiales digitales de editoriales reconocidas. La herramienta permite evaluar en qué medida el material digital prepara al alumnado (hombres y mujeres) para la realización de los exámenes oficiales de alemán de los niveles A1-B2 definidos por el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCER). Los resultados han revelado aspectos mejorables con respecto a su adecuación como materiales digitales. Los tres materiales evaluados han obtenido 33, 39 y 47 puntos sobre 100. La aplicación de la herramienta resulta sencilla, permite una evaluación detallada y requiere cierta dedicación de recursos.
El avatar como recurso tecnológico para promover una educación innovadora e inclusiva

Este trabajo ha obtenido el 1.er Premio Estudios Financieros 2022 en la modalidad de Educación y Nuevas Tecnologías.
La educación en entornos virtuales ofrece algunas ventajas sobre la modalidad presencial, como una mayor flexibilidad y un mayor control del tiempo, espacio y ritmo de su aprendizaje. Sin embargo, este tipo de educación conlleva una serie de retos para el alumnado (hombres y mujeres), que a menudo se siente aislado y pierde la motivación por el estudio. Por otra parte, la falta de referentes femeninos en el ámbito STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics [ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas]) se considera una de las causas de la brecha de género en estas disciplinas.
La utilización de herramientas innovadoras en el aula virtual, como el avatar, puede promover la comprensión de los contenidos y generar una experiencia de cercanía. Además, utilizar avatares como hilo conductor para incorporar la dimensión de género en el aula nos ofrece la oportunidad de mostrar modelos de referencia y promover la reflexión sobre los estereotipos.
El presente estudio demuestra que utilizar los avatares como acompañamiento no solo mejora la experiencia de aprendizaje virtual, sino que promueve un cambio de mentalidad en torno al género. Los estereotipos de género se transmiten, entre otros, desde la escuela y los medios de comunicación, por lo que es esencial trabajar desde la formación inicial del profesorado y de los futuros profesionales de la comunicación para sensibilizar sobre la brecha de género e impulsar el cambio hacia una sociedad más igualitaria.
Signs of damage to Pennsylvania ash Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. by narrow-bodied golden Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) when assessing the viability of trees
Authors: Trofimov Vladimir , Trofimova Olga
Published: January 2023

The research carried out in three types of urban plantings of Pennsylvania ash in the northeast of Moscow. The surviving trees damaged by Agrilus planipennis in 2005-2012 studied. Half of the damaged trees show the ability of partial overgrowing of the dry side on around the old larval gallery. The size of the cambium roller around the dry side indicates the viability of the tree. Trees with single longitudinal bark cracks on larval gallery retain viability for more than 10 years. Trees with cracks and dry sides covering up to 1/3 of the trunk circumference live for at least seven years (9.37+2.32). Trees with cracks and dry sides from 1/3 to 2/3 of the trunk circumference and partial bark fall live for at least five years (6.73 + 1.21). Trees with cracks and the absence of more than 2/3 of the bark along the circumference of the trunk of the categories "severely weakened" die within 1-2 years. The first appearance of shoots in the butt part of the trunk of seeming healthy trees is a sign the attack of larval gallery 2 years ago. Keywords: GREEN ASH, EMERALD ASH BORER

Published: January 2023

Waiting time for services at the hospital is a measure of the quality of services that concern the patient's rights in a service. Long waiting times are felt by patients so that dissatisfaction arises in the service. This study aims to evaluate the waste of polyclinic outpatient services by using a service blueprint to reduce waiting time for services at RSU Royal Prima Medan. This research is descriptive qualitative research involving 89 people consisting of medical staff, non-medical staff, and patients. Sample selection for officers was carried out using purposive sampling, while for patients using accidental sampling. The data in this study were collected through questionnaires, observations and interviews. The validity test of the questionnaire was carried out using Pearson while the reliability test was carried out using Cronbach's Alpha. The results of this study found that the majority of time spent by patients was included in the old category. Researchers also get three types of waste, namely waiting, unappropriate processing, and transportation. Recommendations for efforts to increase waiting time for services that can be done are: rescheduling for doctors, calculating the workload for services that are still managed by 1 officer, planning E-medical records and centralizing them for storing patient files, simplifying providing information to patients, carry out segregation at the poly if it has not been done, and maintain cleanliness and routine maintenance at each supporting facility.
Postnatal Edward’s syndrome

Published: January 2023

Edward's syndrome or trisomy 18 syndrome is due to meiotic nondisjunction with multisystemic involvement. It is characterized by craniofacial, skeletal, cardiovascular, central nervous system and genitourinary malformations. Developmental delay is common in all children. Most cases are diagnosed before birth based on the mother's age and the detection of ultrasound abnormalities in the second and third trimesters. A careful examination is therefore very important to confirm the diagnosis and to help identify unexpected abnormalities. There is very little data on Edward's syndrome. This case report can contribute to the literature and compare it to other known genetic disorders.
