<![CDATA[Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (AITD) Autoimmune Thyroid Disease is one of the diseases, more common in women than men, caused by a combination of reasons discussed later. In this study, we have tried to understand how Autoimmune Thyroid Disease is related to H. pylori or Helicobacter Pylori. We have discussed the pathology and the manner in which AITD is developed This report depicts the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease or Autoimmune Thyroiditis. However, some other reports concerning the relationship between H. pylori infection and Autoimmune Thyroiditis are conflicting. We’ve discussed how AITD is developed, along with the causes and effects of the disease. In this study, we’ve also aimed at determining the presence of H. pylori bacteria in AITD patients, particularly in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Grave’s disease two of the commonly occurring thyroid diseases. The manner in which AITD develops is multi-factorial and H. pylori infection is reported more in AITD patients (adults). H. pylori is said to be involved usually in non gastrointestinal conditions.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Adolescence as the period of human growth and development that occurs after childhood from 10 to 19 years of age. The physical and psychological wellbeing is vital for knowledge of this group considering their health.. Method: The study was conducted among girls aged 16_20 years in female secondary school in AL_Hilla city. Collected about 141 samples so we collected these samples to educate and increase of awareness of reproductive health. We use a developed and wellconstructed questionnaire, the data collected by the methods of selfadministered technique. We used accurate details to know the percentage of adolescent girls on the concept of reproductive health and discuss the concept of puberty with their parents, teachers, sisters or brothers as well as knowledge of diseases related to the reproductive system. Result: Sixtyeight percent have low knowledge about the concept of reproductive health. This means that they are risky factors to have reproductive diseases such as UTI or STD for the lack of awareness of how to take care and maintain of themselves and all of that because their lack of education and knowledge about the reproductive health and this constitutes a negative impact on the concept of reproductive health.]]>

<![CDATA[Renal failure is a serious disease that affects the kidney and leads to different chemical changes and most cases lead to death .The aim of the study is to measure the activity of phenylalanine hydroxyls (PAH), and biochemical variables (urea, creatinine, and albumin) In the blood and urine of healthy and chronic renal failure (CRF) individuals. The study included 80 patients aged between 78 and 20 years and 80 healthy subjects between the ages of 23-65 years. The results showed significant differences in the activity of PAH at P ? 0.0001 in sera and urine chronic renal failure patients compared to healthy, as the of the activity significantly decreased in sera of patients with CRF and increased in urine. The mean activity of PAH was 54.67 ± 6.03 (IU / ml) in sera for CRF patients, whereas in healthy individuals it was 120.83 ± 23.21 (IU / ml), and the average activity of enzyme was 61.34 ± 7.12 in urine of patients with CRF compared with 33.87 ± 3.08 ( IU / ml) in healthy individuals. The activity of PAH enzyme was compared according to age groups, showing a decrease in the age group more than 45 years more than those in the age group less than 45 years with significant differences. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that CRF is associated with loss of secretory function, and metabolism Endocrine actions in the kidneys, seems likely to lose renal activity phenylalanine hydroxylase.]]>

Objectives: To assess the practices of health care providers regarding hand hygiene. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study design carried out from the period between (Sep. 2018 to Aug. 2019). The study has been conducted in the emergency units at Al-Hilla teaching hospitals. Non probability (purposive) sample of (125) health care providers who work in the emergency unit were selected, (110) nurses, (15) physicians were selected related to special criteria. Special checklist prepared, inter observer reliability calculated the statistical results recorded (r: 0.90), which is statistically accepted. Results: The results shows that the higher percentage of the study sample 104 (83.2%) were between (20- 30) years age group, 73 (58.4%) were male, while most of the study sample 67 (53.6%) were Bachelor or postgraduate degree holder, related to the study sample marital status, the higher percentage 64 (51.2%) were married. Overall hand washing practices which consider as the most important measures to control of infection were poor (1.61 0.748). Conclusion: Regarding to the healthcare providers practices in hand washing with respect to the infection control measures during their daily caring in the emergency units the statistical results show low level of practices.

<![CDATA[Chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol cross-linked with genipin at different concentrations were utilized to synthesize films by solvent casting for bone tissue engineering applications. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), swelling degree, degradation rate, contact angle, tensile strength was investigated. The results revealed a decrease in swelling degree, degradation rate, contact angle with an increased genipin concentration, while tensile strength increased. It can be indicated that cross-linked CS/ PVA with genipin could be applied in application for tissue engineering.]]>
