Abstract

Abstract. This study aimed to detect Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in patients with renal failure using RT-qPCR. A total of 100 blood and serum samples were collected from July to September 2023 from individuals aged 1 to 80 years. The RT-qPCR technique revealed 79 positive cases of CMV infection. The study population was divided into five age groups, with the 51–67 age group showing the highest infection rate (29.11%). Infections were more common in females (41 cases) than in males (38 cases). The use of real-time PCR demonstrated a rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic tool for CMV, especially among immunocompromised patients. These findings suggest a significant association between CMV infection and renal failure, emphasizing the need for molecular testing in clinical diagnostics. The study provides valuable epidemiological insight and supports the implementation of RT-qPCR for detecting CMV in Iraqi healthcare settings. Highlights: RT-qPCR detected CMV infection in 79% of renal failure patients, confirming its high prevalence. Older adults (51–67 years) showed the highest infection rate, with females slightly more affected than males. RT-qPCR proved to be a rapid, sensitive, and reliable diagnostic tool for CMV detection in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract

Syncope is defined as a transient loss of consciousness resulting from a temporary reduction in cerebral blood flow, followed by spontaneous recovery. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of syncope episodes among elderly individuals presenting with hip fractures. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 patients aged 45 years and above, from October to December 2024. The results indicated that 16% of patients who experienced syncope had sustained hip fractures, which is significantly higher than the estimated 10–12% hip fracture rate in the general elderly population according to recent global data [1]. Notably, 70% of mild fractures were associated with brief syncope episodes lasting less than one minute, implying partial retention of protective reflexes during the fall. The overall fracture rate among syncope patients reached 36%, comprising 16% hip fractures and 20% other types (e.g., wrist, ankle). Middle-aged females (aged 45–50 years) with comorbidities such as balance disorders, hypertension, or diabetes emerged as a particularly vulnerable group. These individuals should be prioritized in fall-prevention interventions to mitigate injury risks associated with syncope. Highlights: Hip fractures occurred in 16% of elderly syncope patients, higher than global estimates for the general elderly population. Syncope lasting more than 2 minutes, absence of warning signs, and recurrent episodes were strongly linked to severe fractures. Middle-aged women with comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, balance disorders) were identified as the most vulnerable group.
