The Egyptian geographic magazine is a slideshow-based digital publication that contains too may images and too little words because I always regarded pictures as pieces of information that are even more informative than words. This publication is about Egypt that will ultimately describe every thing about Egypt in photos rather than words. Images are grouped in flash-dependent slideshows to maximize the interest of the reader on one hand and the ease of use on the other hand. You need adobe flash player (which must be installed in your computer) to be able to play the slideshows. The downloadable version (mini edition) is a limited one and to keep this version as small as possible, it will not contains any more data, it contains only basic information (Click to download...44 MB). The CD-ROM version contains much more slideshows about Egypt than the mini edition and it is free of charge and will always be (Click to download…105 MB). If you are interested to get your CD-ROM version, please contact the author. (Click to download…105 MB)

The online version probably contains all slideshows present in the CD-ROM version and it is free of charge. However some slideshows that can not be played online are only present in the CD-ROM version.

The Egyptian geographic magazine has three versions

1- An online version (Click to view)
2- The mini edition (Click to download...44 MB)
3- The CD-ROM version (Click to download…105 MB)

Both the Online version and the CD-ROM version are ever growing publications that is to say "more and more data and slideshows are added on regular basis". Please contact the author every few month to get the latest CD-ROM version of the publication, it is always free of charge.

INTRODUCTION

December 13, 2012 — Using applications that transform web sites, PDF file and Microsoft word (DOC) files into stand alone desktop applications  is a very powerful way to create electronic books, E –publication that can be distributed among students, customers and other end users. In fact there is nothing like HTML files, PDF file and DOC files that can organize text, pictures, Videos, and audio files into a single page in a very practical way. However the problem is that your end user can manipulate these files, modify them, edit them and reuse them. You need to protect your files.

Using applications that transform web sites, PDF file and Microsoft word (DOC) files into stand alone desktop applications are  very powerful tools that can pack all your files into a stand alone EXE executable applications that have the following characteristics

1. They Protect html, PDF and DOC pages and content using security profiles; restrict user rights (disable copy to clipboard, PRINT SCREEN, print).
2. Add a table of contents, a search system and a favorite manager easily. Use websites as help in your applications.
3. You can create search engine that can search thousand of HTML files in seconds, you can use wild cards, bolean logic (and, or and not). Search words are high lighted thus making it easy to files them in the corresponding pages
4. Make trial or evaluation versions. Set up expiration options or limitations, send registration keys to customers or use online activation.
5. Show messages or splash screens, open programs; customize everything with integrated scripting support.
6. Show messages or splash screens, open programs; customize everything with integrated scripting support.
7. Design attractive user interfaces with skin support  and multiple window options.
8. Insert your company name, logo in your ebooks. Advertise your company.
9. All source files (HTML, PDF, images, CSS, media, JavaScript code...) are strongly compressed and protected in order to make compact, secure executable files useful for distribution or archiving, without losing performance.
10. Passwords offered to the end users are system-locked and are usable in a single computer only (single system, single user license)
11. The applications can be uploaded in the internet to be downloaded by end users. If the application is a freeware, that is it. However if the applications are not free of charge, you can created system locked application that can be used only in a single computer (that means the paid passwords you give to the end users are system-locked and will unlock the application in a single computer only and will be completely useless if used in anther computer).
12. The Final exe applications can be used as web browsers. They allow end users to access specific web contents and with the sufficient java scripts, they can be supplied with an address bar that allow end users to freely surf though the internet.

All my ebooks are created by web compilers which I personally found them very powerful and doing the job in a wonderful way. You can download an example by clicking here, It is an example of HTML to exe application.

INTRODUCTION

December 12, 2012 —This publication covers the clinical aspect of conventional EEG. It simply reflects thing the way I understand, deals with and interpret a conventional EEG tracing. The textbook is composed of 410 pages that can be printed.

Conventional EEG has fallen short of expectation not because of its limited value, but rather because it is rarely ordered by a Knowledgeable clinician and interpreted by an electroencephalographer in a way most useful to the patient.

Another reason why Conventional EEG have fallen short of expectation, is its impressionistic, qualitative nature and this strongly reflects the needs for quantitative EEG. Quantitative EEG (Also called brainmapping, EEG cartography, Brain electrical activity mapping, BEAM) is a wonderful way that reflects the brain function in real time and in a totally non-invasive way. A short notice is given to brainmapping at the end of this textbook.

I really hope you will find this publication as useful as a truly wish. This publication is distributed free of charge, it is placed in the public domain as soon as it is uploaded and can be freely distributed on two conditions;

1- It is not changed in any way

2- It is distributed free of charge

INTRODUCTION

December 12, 2012 — Hepatolenticular degeneration is transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance. The disorder may be caused by a disturbance in the biliary excretion of copper and its incorporation into ceruloplasmin. The defective gene is located on chromosome 13 (1). Symptoms result from the accumulation of copper in liver, brain, and cornea. Clinical Features. Hepatic failure is me prominent clinical feature in children less than 10 years of age, usually without neurologic symptoms or signs. Neurologic manifestations with only minimal symptoms of liver disease are more likely when the onset of symptoms is in the second decade. A single symptom, such as a disturbance of gait or speech, is often the initial feature and may remain unchanged for years (1). Eventually the initial symptom worsens and new features develop: dysarthria (97%), dystonia (65%). dysdiadochokinesia (58%), rigidity (52%), gait and postural abnormalities (42%), tremor (32%), and drooling (23%) (1).

Dystonia of bulbar muscles is responsible for three prominent features of the disease: dysarthria, a fixed pseudosmile (risus sardonicus), and a high-pitched whining noise on inspiration. Psychiatric disturbances precede the neurologic abnormalities in 20 of cases. They range from behavioral disturbances to paranoid psychoses. Dementia is not an early feature of disease. The Kayser-Fleischer ring, a yellow-brown granular deposit at the limbus of the cornea, is a certain indicator of the disease. It is caused by copper deposition in the Descemet membrane and is present in all patients with neurologic manifestations, although it may be absent in children with liver disease alone.

Video 1. Dystonia of bulbar muscles is responsible for three prominent features of the disease: dysarthria, a fixed pseudosmile (risus sardonicus), and a high-pitched whining noise on inspiration.

• Diagnosis

Hepatolenticular degeneration should be considered in any child with dysarthria and dystonia. The further association of chronic liver disease increases the probability of hepatolenticular degeneration. The diagnosis is confirmed by demonstrating an increased copper content by liver biopsy or by the demonstration of a Kayser Fleischer ring by slit-lamp examination. Ninety-six percent of patients have a serum ceruloplasmin concentration of less than 20 mg/dl, corresponding to less than 56 |jig/dl of ceruloplasmin copper (1).

Video 2. Wilson disease with neurological involvement.

MRI demonstrates increased signal intensity and decreased size of the caudate, putamen, subcortical white matter, midbrain, and pons. MRI findings do not correlate well with clinical features (1).
