ABSTRACT
The main objective of this
project is to focus on some factors in the seminal fluid that are
thought to affect sperm motility. These factors include
bacteriospermia, antisperm antibodies (ASA) and lipid preoxidation
caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). To achieve this goal, the
following steps will be conducted:
1-
Evaluate the prevalence of bacteriospermia and the
mean of antisperm antibodies titer in semen samples.
2-
Identify the different types of microorganisms and
antisperm antibodies that may be found in semen.
3-
Estimate lipid peroxidation caused by reactive
oxygen species (ROS) in the seminal fluid which is known to have
severe effect on spermatozoa.
4-
Estimate the levels of the enzymes catalase and
superoxide dismutase (SOD) which counteract the toxic effect of ROS
and act as antioxidants.
5-
Correlate the above factors with sperm motility in
subfertile males.
Results to be obtained from
this study should clarify the possible role of bateriospermia and
ASA in sperm motility. The results should also illustrate the level
of the lipid peroxidation and the level of the antioxidant enzymes
superoxide dismutase and catalase ahnd the possible correlation with
sperm motility.

ABSTRACT
ِِAnalysis
and evaluation of the procedures used in menu planning of diabetic
diet is a necessitate responsibility to be done in Jordanian
hospitals. Conducting this study, will evaluate the following aspects of
diabetes:
1.
The percentage of diabetic diet menus in Jordanian
Hospitals.
2.
The overall nutritional adequacy
3.
The percentage of carbohydrate, protein, and fat in
the diet.
4.
The nutrients distribution through out the day.
5.
The characteristics of diabetic diet in Jordanian
Hospitals
This work is not an extension of any previous work.
What makes this work unique is that for the first time we are trying
to study the details of diabetic diet in Jordanian Hospitals. No
previous similar work was done .

ABSTRACT
Realizing that as
any profession matures, the character of that profession is often
altered by extended practice, education and increased public
awareness, it became necessary that our academic program should be
reviewed and reconstructed as required to meet the needs dictated by
the evolving situations external to the institution such as the
health needs of the Kingdom of Jordan and the needs of the graduates
in practice. The goals of the present project are:
Creating a career profile of all the physical therapy graduates from
the Hashemite University.-
-Taking
feedback from the graduate regarding the Physical therapy
curriculum.
-Initiating a formal assessment of the program and plan (this is a
requirement of the Physical Therapy World Federation for formal
recognition of the program).
-Working toward creating the bases for a common curriculum to the
three physical therapy programs in Jordan (the Hashemite University,
University of Jordan and Jordan University of Science and
Technology).
The data is being
collected using a questionnaire designed specifically for this
purpose.

ABSTRACT
It has been demonstrated that
microalbuminuria and Cystatin C are elevated in diabetic
nephropathy. In addition, it has been suggested that the occurrence
of diabetic nephropathy is haptoglobin-phenotype dependent.
Therefore it would be possible that the levels of Cystatin C and
microalbuminuria are also haptoglobin-phenotype dependent. It is the
purpose of this study to investigate the role of Hp polymorphism in
the development of diabetic nephropathy by correlating the levels of
Cystatin C and microalbuminuria with Hp phenotypes in patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus.
