Abstract : In the presence of ethanol and glacial acetic acids, benzene-1,4-diamine reacted with aromatic aldehydes such as 3-phenylprop-2-enal to generate the imine group known as Schiff bases. Schiff bases IIIA N,N'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-imine). treated with anhydride furan-2,5-dione and aromatic anhydride 2-benzofuran-1,3-dione to produced Oxazepine derivatives IVA and IVB respectively. These structures of synthetic oxazepine have been characterized by using FTIR, mass spectral, and elemental analyses. The purity quality of the compounds was done using TLC.

Abstract : Nursing administration is entirely related to the implementation of nursing services, such as the function of planning, organizing, motivating and controlling. Factors affecting nurses' work motivation are appreciation, career development opportunities, job responsibilities, independence, how the organization is run and characteristics of nurses. This study aims at evaluating head nurses' planning as component of administrative tasks performance and comparing between these head nurses relative to such performance at teaching and non-teaching hospitals in Kirkuk city. A descriptive comparative design was carried out to evaluate head nurses’ planning as administrative task performance and to compare between them relative to their hospitals. A non-probability “purposive sample” of (46) head nurses was selected from (Kirkuk General Hospital and Azadi Teaching Hospital) in Kirkuk city. Data was collected during January 10th to March 30th 2019, using the study instrument and interview technique. Data are analyzed through the application of descriptive and inferential statistic. The results depict that head nurses’ planning as administrative task performance and head nurses' planning in those hospitals were low. Additionally, there is no significant differences at (P > 0.05) between the two hospitals, except between the staff satisfaction and head nurses' development plan. We suggest nursing management training courses in the participated hospitals. Further research can be carried out on larger sample, wide-range characteristics and different settings.

Abstract : Fatigue is prevalent and leads to increase risk of nurses’ill health, nurses calling in sick, a high turnover, and increased medical errors. The findings in this study demonstrate the gender difference in nursing fatigue cope strategies to support and inform organisational policy development, education, and communication practice addressing the nursing fatigue coping strategies in Jordan. The study examined how the nurses’ gender in Jordan impacted their fatigue prevalence and adopted coping strategies. A qualitative descriptive design was used to explore nurses’ experience of fatigue through a purposive sample of 27 nurses from across the hospital wards. Qualitative data collection was done using semi-structured interviews administered. The findings were analysed thematically through the grounded theory model, where open coding was used then, followed by an axial coding process to establish relationships between themes and sub-themes. The key themes were (i) nurses’ fatigue coping strategies, (ii) gender and nursing fatigue in Jordan, and (iii) fatigue prevalence among Jordanian nurses. Additionally, the findings suggested two coping strategies (a) nurse individual coping strategies and (b) hospital management based coping strategies. In summary, fatigue is highly prevalent among Jordanian nurses. It can have detrimental effects for both male and female nurses, and inter-shift fatigue recovery differs among both genders. Women were found to experience more fatigue in the workplace. Culture and religious beliefs were perceived to be the key contributing factors to gender fatigue levels variances. Individual strategies such as physical exercise, meditation, and relaxation regimes were found to help in managing nurses' fatigue. Hospital management strategies include working shifts with a maximum of eight working hours, weekly working hours to an average of 40 hours, and increased inter-shift rest periods.

Abstract : Penile squamous cell carcinoma is a rare malignancy seen more frequently in developing countries. Metastasis occurs in a predictable manner, with superficial lymph node involvement occurring first, followed by deep lymph node involvement, and then spreading to distant organs. The brain, lungs, liver, and bones are typical sites of distant metastases. In this report, we present the case of a 60-year-old male patient with penile carcinoma cell squamous with metastasis to the skin. Initially, the patient complained of dark, painful, and itchy nodules in the right inguinal 3 months ago. The patient had a history of total penectomy after the previous diagnosis of penile squamous cell carcinoma with positive lymphovascular invasion. In inspection, hyperpigmented nodules and ulcers were seen in the right inguinal region and hyperpigmented nodules in the abdominal region. Histopathological dan immunohistochemistry examination revealed squamous cell carcinoma appearance with inguinal lymph nodes metastasis and abundance of cytokeratin. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with skin metastasis of penile squamous cell carcinoma and had been treated coventionally.

Abstract : Cervical cancer is in third place in ranking after endometrium and ovarian cancer. It occurs after a long preinvasive period. The importance of early diagnosis matters, so it can be treated. These cases requires routine gynecological follow-ups. makes. In our study, patients with mild cytological disorder as a result of pap smear (ASCUS and LSIL), we grouped and evaluated the patients according to age. We tried to determine that mild dysplasias in what age groups require less invasive procedures. For this purpose, patients with mild smear disorder who applied to our hospital were recommended to do colposcopy. We examined the patients. We detected 11% of 446 patients with CIN2 and above lesions. Disorder above CIN2 was more common in the patient group under 30 years of age (17.9%). Our study showed that ASCUS should be carefully examined in young patients, also.
