Methods: we included in this study five cases admitted to our center with unusual odd presentation of pericardio-cardiac Hydatid disease in the last eight years. The diagnosis of echinococcosis in heart was achieved through serological reactions, echocardiography, X-ray, computerized tomography (CT). These cases were managed both medically and surgically. Results: 3 cases were managed surgically and 1 case was managed interventional and 1 case was managed only medically. 1 case died as a complication of ruptured intracardiac hydatid cyst and the other 4 cases curd and survived without recurrence within 1 year follow up. Conclusion: Echinococcus granulosus can affect any organ in the body, and spillage during surgery can lead to a significant morbidity and recurrence. Cardiac HC is associated with a high risk of potentially lethal complications. Cl...

In this paper, a case study of a high rise building having non-eccentric loads is established using raft foundation. There was compressible soil stratum starting from 8.0 m down to 12.5 m underneath the raft foundation. Due to the non-eccentric loads of the building and the compressible soil layer which caused the increase in the tilting of the building with time. According to the continuous of the building movement, enhancement method should be used to overcome this moving. Micro pile technique was designed and established at the tilting sides of the building. A new raft foundation was added at the top of the old foundation to insure connect of the executed micro piles with the old raft foundation. Measurements of the tilting or the movement of the building were continued before and during execution of the micro pile technique. Observations showed a good enhancement in the behavior of the foundation system after using the new system of micro piles as there was no more tilting in the building or the differential settlements.
