The results showed that participants were moderately satisfied with the quality of nursing care in National Center for Diabetes Endocrinology and Genetics ,by used different dimensions, The total satisfaction mean was (3.22), with higher satisfaction levels in the physical environment of the center (M = 3.85) than technical quality (M =3.20). Patients from both settings were less satisfied with the responsiveness and convenience (M = 2.88). Age, sex, marital status, level of education, income and the diagnosis show statistically significant effects on patients' level of satisfaction.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the incidence of the supernumerary teeth among Palestinian according to sex, location and morphology. This retrospective study was carried out using 1683 panoramic radiographs (719 males, 964 females) aged seven and older. The supernumerary teeth were observed in 11 (0.65%) panoramic (4 males, 7 females) with (1:1.75) male female ratio. two cases of them showed bilaterally hyperdontia. The premolar was found to be the most common supernumerary, followed by mesiodens and distomolar.

Antimicrobial and Immunomodulatory activities of Moringa peregrine- MINIREVIEW. Journal of Basic and Applied Research, 1(2): 55-61
Abstract:
Moringa peregrina is considered as miracle tree. Extracts as well as some isolated compounds of Moringa peregrine show valuable biological activities, such as antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, immunomodulatory. On the other hand, Moringa peregrina is used traditionally as home cleaning agent, fertilizer, foliar nutrient, green fertilizer, gum, honey- and sugar cane juice-clarifier, biopesticide. In this review, the natural distribution and the general features for Moringa peregrina were discussed and the antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities of Moringa peregrine extract were described. This review might guide researchers to undertake further investigation regarding this species and to use it as a source of active compounds.Mohammed, M.M.O., Brair, S.L., Elnimeiri, M. (2015).

Abstract:
Hypoglycemia and recurrent hypoglycemia may be associated with a significant increase in the risk of major macrovascular and microvascular events and recurrent hypoglycemia was associated with arise in mortality, morbidity. The objectives of this study are to estimate the prevalence of hypoglycemic episodes in T2DM patients attending the National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics and to estimate the rate of hypoglycemic unawareness in these patients and to determine the risk factors associated with hypoglycemic episodes.
