Abstract

The dental caries are still the most common oral disease affecting children through the world especially in developing countries as in Iraq; however, these are not life threating human disease.This study was conducted to assess dental caries experience and the nutritional status among 10 years old primary school children in urban and rural area in Al-Hillah city.Eight hundred ninety one (891) students, 10 years old, selected randomly from different primary school, in urban and rural area in Al-Hillah city. Oral examination of dental caries was done according to the criteria described by WHO in 1987. Nutritional status was assessed according to body mass index (BMI), then followed the criteria of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth chart (CDC).A high percentage of total samples were affected with dental caries and significantly higher in urban areas than rural areas. The majority of children had normal weight and the lowest percentage had underweightThis study revealed that a higher prevalence of dental caries experience was recorded, in children of urban than children of rural areas. Therefore, there is need for an improving public and school preventive programs, and encouraged to orient health knowledge in a positive direction.

Abstract

Background: AMI ( acute myocardial infarction ) is one of the most common cause of death . In this study the prognostic value of WBC count in patient with AMI was assessed in 24 hrs after admission.STEMI (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) is frequently associated with leukocytosis, it is that the peripheral leukocyte count have important prognostic implication in AMI .Aim of The Study: This study conducted to evaluate and measure level of WBC count in patient with STEMI and their effect on cardiovascular outcome.Patients and Method: we have 100 patients (male and female) with mean age (40-80) years admitted to the AL-diwaniyha teaching hospital CCU ( coronary care unit )department and peripheral blood sampling taken after 24 hrs of admission and another sample after 1 week and we record the main early and delay squally occurred. Patient that admitted to CCU were confirmed with AMI by clinical features ,examination and investigations (ECG with ST segment elevation, positive cardiac troponin) .Results: The mean WBC count in all patients was 11.260 ± 3.600 X103/ CC. There is no significant difference in mean WBC count among patients with inferior, lateral and posterior wall MI (P > 0.05); however, mean WBC count was significantly highest in patients with extensive anterolateral MI (P<0.001); followed by patients with anterior MI. Early complications were observed in 52 patients (52.0 %), these complications were in the form of arrhythmias such as VF, VT, AF, heart block and bradycardia and acute heart failure. The most common early complication was VF ( 32.0 %.)Late complications were observed in 28 patients (28.0 %), these complications were in the form of chronic heart failure or unfortunately death of patients. we noted that patient with high WBC after admission have close relation to more damage and necrotic myocyte an liable for early complications like arrhythmia (VT ,VF) and acute HF.Conclusion: WBC count remained a significant predictor of complication after admission for patients with STEMI.

Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii is avery common obligate intercellular parasite with highest infection rate among worlds populations. The Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) considered as an autoimmune disease characterized by loss immunological tolerance to self-antigens. Present study Aims to detection the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis among RA patients and healthy control and evaluate concentrations of IL-33 to understand their role during infection. Seropositive cases of IgG was 36.7% percentage in RA patients with highest value of IgG 0.395 IU/ml while control group was 100% seronegative. Three cases only were seropositive to IgM with 1.17% and their mean 0.54 IU/ml.IL-33 levels in RA patients with toxoplasmosis was highest 187.74± 33.24 pg/ml when compared with RA patients 107.88±18.41 pg/ml and control group 55.59±25.75 pg/ml ,there was a significant differences in comparison between studied groups.

Abstract

To determine efficacy of DMSA in treatment of sub-chronic lead exposure in dogs, fifteen puppies aged 2-4 months from both sexes were used for experimental induction of lead toxicity. These puppies were adapted for two weeks and divided randomly to three groups , each group contain five puppies; Group 1 which was regarded as negative control; Group 2, this group was drenched 15mg/kg of lead acetate daily for sixty days; Group 3, this group was drenched 15mg/kg of lead acetate daily for sixty days then were treated with DMSA 10 mg/Kg twice daily orally for one week. These animals were clinically examined daily till the end of experiment, then whole blood, bone, liver and brain were collected for estimation the lead concentrations. The results showed presence of several signs after 15 days of exposure which included depression, diarrhea, tremor then these signs subsides after 7 days of treatment with DMSA. Also, the results presented a significant increasing in the concentrations of lead in liver, blood, bone and brain in group 2 as compared with control group, after treatment with DMSA, group 3 showed a significant decrease in lead concentrations in liver , blood, bone, and brain as compared with group 2. In conclusion, DMSA is an effective therapy for clinical cases of lead toxicity.
