camels, cows and others. The disease affects animals and humans as it absorbs the immunity of animals leading to death and thus leads to a number of severe economic losses due to a shortage of meat, dairy and cheese and it leads to breast cancer either through the environment or through the infection of one of these animals (Archana P Iyer&Ibtisam Baghallab, 2014).. In this research we will talk about the disease of Mastitis that is infect the camels in the United Arab Emirates in general and in Abu Dhabi in particular. I choose to talk about this topic due to its dangerous on animals in general. Also, this topic is one of the rare topics that have not received the attention of many researchers, so it is important to give this topic an importance. I am very motivated on writing about this topic. This topic has a high importance on both knowledge advancement and industry practices. This disease has a very serious risk to the industry and because the injury of animals may deprive the manufacturers of cheese and milk obtained from milk. In addition, this disease contributes to the advancement of science and knowledge of doctors and increases the level of awareness of people. I wish this paper to be useful for everyone and I will mention everything step by step.

Material and methods

 

The material and methods that shall be used to knowing the percentage of the camels who suffer from the Mastitis in the UAE depend on testing. All the data will be collected from Dubai by taking 296 samples of camels and testing their milk. The way that will used is taking a sample for the milk of these camels and cleaning it with soft paper tissues with adding a mild disinfection in order to make sure that it is clean from any bacteria. We shall remove first the milk streak by 5 ml of milk from each quarter, then we put in a sterile 30 ml plastic container, then the sample shall dispatch to the laboratory to make a test.

Literature review

 

There are some preliminary studies that are conducted upon this topic that are talking about “Incidence of Mastitis in Camels in the UAE”.

(Nordqvist, 2017)Mastitis disease, which affects most animals, is one of the most serious diseases affecting the human and human society, as it harms industry, trade and economy, and threatens livestock and humans. Many authors and researchers wrote about this disease at the beginning of the twentieth century and increased their writings about it in 2015-2018 because of the harmful and severe risks that resulted from these risks such as the death of humans.

Milk production in animal herds is important whether it is used as an independent commercial product or for the feeding of animals that are acquired within the herd. Mastitis is one of the most common problems faced by animal breeders as it reduces the productivity of infected animals, whether for commercial or infant feeding, may be caused by risks to human health such as food poisoning, as well as the danger to animal health in general.

Mastitis in camels contains 4 separate glands, and each nipple gland contains two openings. The development of the mammary gland and its nipples depends on the age of the camel and its offspring and the stages of pregnancy. In the last two months before birth, the udder becomes full and the nipples are prominent, and when mastitis occurs, it results in physical and chemical changes in the lactic gland tissue.

its also called decompression sickness and is observed in deep sea-divers. At higher atmospheric pressure under sea, inhaled nitrogen gets soluble in blood. When the diver comes out to surface the dissolved nitrogen becomes insoluble and bubbles out from blood. It then kind of acts as air embolus specially in the vasculature of bones and joints and leads to severe pain and may even cause embolism to the heart, Treatment is hyperbaric oxygen.

Caisson's Disease is Decompression Sickeness experienced by divers if they ascend too fast. Basically the nitrogen from the breathing mixture which gets dissolved in the fat, joint fluids, etc is not able to diffuse into the blood fast enough and becomes gaseous bubbles. It is called Caisson's disease as the divers used to use a Caisson;s diving bell with a oxygen/ nitrogen mixture for diving. As they went deeper (more pressure) the nitrogen would dissolve in all the tissues. When they ascend - the oxygen diffuses out fast enough but nitrogen takes time. Once it becomes bubbles in the joint cavities or blood stream it can cause various manifestations - bends (due to bubbles in joint spaces causing pain), air embolism in the heart can cause decreased cardiac output or if a bubble goes into the carotid artery or beyond it will cause a stroke. The only treatment is to pressurise the patient again in a Hyperbaric Chamber or he dives again and ascends slowly. That is why divers have diving tables and are very careful about them. In aviation it happens of the cockpit pressurization fails and there is sudden decompression. In aviation we call it decompression sickness. I hope that answers your query.
