Cu-Ge ferrite was prepared using the standard ceramic method. The creep rate of polycrystalline Cu1+xGexFe2-2xO4 ferrite has been measured as a function of time at room temperature. It is found that the indentation length increases with the increase of both time and applied load. A regime of individual creep curves is observed for the first and second stages. It is not possible to record the third stage of the curve as usually happened in an ordinary creep test, because fracture of the samples does not occur. The slope is found to increase with increasing germanium and copper content in the steady state region. The high value of n (stress exponent factor) indicates that the dislocation creep is the dominate mechanism. The porosity arrangements developed within the specimens were examined using optical microscope. The results are discussed with regard to models describing the role of the steady state creep rate of metals. The morphology of the samples shows that the porosity is increased by increasing both copper and germanium ions.

Background: Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women in the world and is the leading cause of death among gynecological cancers. Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the clinical, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of ovarian cancer in the both Gynecology-Obstetrics departments Donka and Ignace Deen of the Conakry University Hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study lasting 12 years from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2022, covering the files of patients treated for ovarian cancer in the both Gynecology-Obstetrics departments Donka and Ignace Deen. The study focused on the epidemiological, clinical, histological and therapeutic aspects of the disease. Results: In total, 135 files of patients with ovarian cancer were collected out of the 3821 files of gynecological pathologies recorded in the two departments during the study period, either a frequency of 3.5%. Among gynecological and breast cancers, ovarian cancer represented 9.1%. The average age of the patients was 46.3± 17.8 years and the average parity was 4 ± 3. The revealing clinical signs were dominated by pelvic pain (92.6%) and increased abdominal volume (53.3%). The diagnosis of the disease was made mainly at stages III and IV (71.9%). The most common histological type was serous papillary adenocarcinoma (57.0%). Exclusive surgical treatment was performed in 8.1% of patients, surgery combined with chemotherapy in 63.0% of patients and exclusive chemotherapy in 11.1% of patients. After an average follow-up of 42 months, 29 patients out of the 96 operated on were alive (30.2%), 51 had died (53.1%) and 16 patients were lost to follow-up (16.7%). Conclusion: Ovarian cancer is the third most common cancer in both departments. Diagnosis is often late and the prognosis is poor.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the maternal and perinatal outcome of pregnancies complicated by cardiac disease in a tertiary care center in Egypt. Methods: During a 1- year period, a total of 86 pregnant women with cardiac disease were admitted. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality were calculated and compared with a control group. Results: Seventy-seven (89.5% ) patients were due to rheumatic affection, and 60 patients were classified as NYHA classes I- II. There was one case of maternal mortality (1.16% ), and 10 other cases developed life-threatening complications. Two perinatal mortalities (2.32% ) occurred in this series. Birth weight of babies born to mothers with functional classes III and IV were significantly lower than those of functional classes I- II and control group. Conclusion: Rheumatic heart disease with pregnancy is still predominant in Egypt. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality are strongly correlated to maternal cardiac functional classification.
