Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in both developed and developing nations. It is the third most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in the Unites State.

Material & Methods: The current study included sixty cases of colorectal carcinomas studied histologically and immunohistochemically for WT1 expression.

In this paper, a proposed system for feature selection
based on social spider optimization (SSO) is proposed. SSO is
used in the proposed system as searching method to find optimal
feature set maximizing classification performance and mimics
the cooperative behavior mechanism of social spiders in nature.
The proposed SSO algorithm considers two different search
agents (social members) male and female spiders, that simulate
a group of spiders with interaction to each other based on the
biological laws of the cooperative colony. Depending on spider
gender, each spider (individual) is simulating a set of different
evolutionary operators of different cooperative behaviors that are
typically found in the colony. The proposed system is evaluated
using different evaluation criteria on 18 different datasets, which
compared with two common search methods namely particle
swarm optimization (PSO), and genetic algorithm (GA). SSO
algorithm proves an advance in classification performance using
different evaluation indicators

This guidance details the needs of children, and the qualities of parenting that meet those needs. Parental mental disorders can damage the foetus during pregnancy through the action of drugs, prescribed or abused. Pregnancy and the puerperium can exacerbate or initiate mental illness in susceptible women. After their birth, the children may suffer from the social disadvantage associated with severe mental illness. The parents (depending on the disorder, its severity and its persistence) may have intermittent or prolonged difficulties with parenting, which may sometimes result in childhood psychological disturbance or child maltreatment. This guidance considers ways of preventing, minimizing and remedying these effects. Our recommendations include: education of psychiatrists and related professions about the effect of parental mental illness on children; revision of psychiatric training to increase awareness of patients as caregivers, and to incorporate relevant assessment and intervention into their treatment and rehabilitation; the optimum use of pharmacological treatment during pregnancy; prebirth planning when women with severe mental illness become pregnant; development of specialist services for pregnant and puerperal women, with assessment of their efficacy; community support for parenting by mothers and fathers with severe mental disorders; standards of good practice for the management of child maltreatment when parents suffer from mental illness; the importance of multi-disciplinary teamwork when helping these families, supporting their children and ensuring child protection; the development of child and adolescent mental health services worldwide.
