Abstract: In this paper, we study the diophantine equation ax2+b=cyn where a, b, c, n, x, y are positive integers and we prove some results concerning this equation when b = 7, 11. In Theorem 3, we are able to correct the result of Demirpolat and Cenberci appeared in [9].

Abstract: Aim of the study: this study was carried out to identify patient-care practices related to increased transmission of hepatitis c virus infection among hemodialysis patients. Setting: This study was conducted at hemodialysis unit in menofia university hospital and shebien el koom teaching hospital. Sample: The subjects of this study consisted of 177 renal failure patients. Tools: two tools were utilized for data collection. I. Patient’s medical history: structure interview schedule: II: patient care practices observational sheet. The results revealed that patient-care practices associated with transmission of hepatitis C virus infection included fistula clamp, stethoscope reused for multiple patients without cleaning and disinfecting, unused syringe and alcohol swab at dialysis station not discarded between patients, dialysis machine monitor not decontaminated between patients and handling blood specimens in the same area or adjacent to medications and clean supplies. Conclusion:current study concluded that patient-care practices associated with transmission of hepatitis C virus infection included items reused for multiple patients without cleaning and disinfecting, unused clean supplies at dialysis station not discarded between patients, dialysis machine monitor not decontaminated between patients and handling blood specimens in the same area or adjacent to medications and clean supplies. Recommendation: Staff should ensure that hemodialysis-specific infection control practices are being implemented. Also hemodialysis-specific infection control practices should included in continuing education of all staff members.
