Abstract

Gingivitis is a nondestructive disease that causes inflammation of the gums and is one of the most commonperiodontal diseases. The cause of inflammation is bacterial bovillomatosis, known as the plaque, on thesurface of the teeth. The plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease; if left untreated, gingivitis candevelop into inflammation of the tooth, where inflammation of the gums destroys the bones, causes tissueerosion around the teeth and can lead to loss of tooth. Q. infectoria were applied topically to ten people aged25-55 who were suffering from gingivitis and plaque. Diagnoses and follow-up treatment were performed ina dental clinic under the supervision of a dentist for a period of two weeks. We noted the great efficacy of theherb against gingivitis and plaque. The progress of plaque measured in terms of mean, population standarddeviation and variance were 0.66 , 0.17, 0.02 before treatment and 0.29, 0.12, 0.01 after treatment. Gingivalprogress before and after treatment were 0.72 , 0.15 , 0.02 and 0.32 , 0.11 , 0.01 , respectively. Accordingto results were due to the fact that Q. infectoria contain large amounts of tannin and other compounds thatconstrict vessels and tissues and are effective against various types of infections. Therefore, we recommendthem as an alternative to antibiotics. Effectiveness of Q. infectoria as an effective substance to inhibit thegrowth of oral bacteria and thus act as an anti-inflammatory and retention of gum tissue where the substancewas tested directly on patients have Plaque and gingivitis and we can recommend them as an alternative toantibiotics

Abstract

Background: Over the past few decades, the role of the Director of the Nursing Unit (head nurse) hasdeveloped considerably globally, from the head nurse who supervisor to patient care and nursing staffand the needs of the ward from all the necessary supplies for nursing care in the ward to the role of themanager nurse who plays a broader role through his oversight of all Nursing ward in the hospital, staffemployment and ward quality, development and retention. Previously the head nurses were responsible forthe care of clinical patients only in the ward, and their duty was only patient. Objectives: Implement thenursing management education program for the study group. Methodology: A quasi-experimental designis carried out throughout the present study with the application of test-retest approach for the study andcontrol groups from March 24th 2019 to Feb 19th 2020. Settings of the Study: This study was conducted atthe nursing units of Al-Najaf AL-Ashraf City Hospitals which include (Al-Sadr Medical City, Al-HakeemGeneral Hospital and Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital, they represented AL-Najaf AL-Ashraf city). Result:showed that the study group participants had benefits from the implementation of nursing managementeducation program Conclusions: The program considered an effective mean for the improvement of thehead nurse’s knowledge. Recommendations: Head nurses should have the required knowledge about wardsmanagement regarding patient care. And nursing management education program is an important tool forthe development of head nurses’ skills. Accordingly, head nurses need to be encouraged to participate innursing management education program focused on patient management. Finally, the study proved that thereis an essential need for collaboration between the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research withMinistry of Health and Environment to improve the nursing management courses as a part of curriculum innursing institutes and universities.

Abstract

Background: Dental care for HIV positive people plays an important role in increasing quality of life,tolerance and effectiveness of treatment, nutritional intake, and treatment success rates. Therefore, it isimportant to ensure optimal dental care for this group of people, especially since many of them, with or withoutknowledge of their serological status, are now using dental services. Purpose: is to assess the willingnessof dental students to treat HIV positive people. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectionalsurvey was conducted. In the city of Surabaya, there are around 184,000 HIV positive people. This researchwas conducted in 2019 using a questionnaire designed to obtain information about student demographics,self-assessment of HIV, attitudes toward infection control practices, perceptions of occupational risks, andwillingness to provide care for HIV positive people. Results: The response rate is 76.3 percent. More than77 percent of respondents are in the age group of 19 years to age 25 years. Good knowledge about HIV isonly owned by 35 percent of respondents. While around 7.1 percent, showed significant concern about jobtransmission. Conclusions: From the results of this study, the authors suggest the need for a comprehensiveeducation or motivation program for the next generation of dentists in Indonesia to ensure adequate care forHIV positive people.

Abstract

Obesity is a complex disease characterized by fat accumulation in the body which led to increased risk ofother disease such as diabetic, cancer and others. Body mass index (BMI), is the main criteria to defineoverweight and obesity. In addition to the change in diet, exercise and life style, pharmacological optionswere used for complicated cases.This study is a retrospective one where the data collected were from 117 obese patients in obesity researchand therapy unit in AL-Kindy medical college in Iraq and were divided into four groups according to thedrugs that were taken (metformin group, metformin and orlistat group, metformin and fluoxetine group,metformin, orlistat and fluoxetine group)It has been found that each group showed a significant difference in BMI after 2 and four months andby comparison among the four group, metformin group was given a significant difference in BMI after 2months while no significant difference in BMI among groups after 4 months.In conclusion metformin alone gave the best change in BMI in short period with less side effect while forlong time, the administration of these three drugs together may lead to more desirable results

Abstract

Background: The most important cause of death in diabetic patients is the cardiac insult. Mean circumferentialfibers shortening velocity (MCFSV) was used to detect the systolic cardiac dysfunction.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate MCFSV in people who have Type 2 diabetes.Patients and methods: This analytic observational study was performed in Al-Furat teaching hospital.Eighty type 2 diabetics were involved in this study. All patients were subjected to traditional Dopplermeasures: tissue Doppler-derived E/E,and MCFSV.Results: Echocardiographic measures revealed 35 subjects having Grade I of Diastolic dysfunction (DD), 15having Grade II while 10 were diagnosed with Grade III of this condition. MCFSV did not change in patientswith normal diastolic function (0.00137±2.02) and those with grade I diastolic dysfunction (0.00148±3.5),(P value: 0.2) while significant reduction was documented in patients with grade II diastolic dysfunction(0.0011±9.1, P value: 0.00) and grade III diastolic dysfunction (0.001±6.02, P value: 0.00)Conclusions: There is a connection between Reduction of MCFSV and increased grading of diastolicdysfunction (DD) in type II diabetics.

Abstract

Cases of deficiency paternity, characterized by missing of the alleged father, are a task for forensic genetics.Recently these cases were determined using sets of extremely polymorphic autosomal short tandem repeats(STRs), which indicate to powerful likelihood ratios (LR). Some difficult cases emerge whenever the kinshiphighly remote or if the another hypotheses are not properly formulated because of the absence of information.In these situations, beyond the routinely used marker set, laboratories usually enlarge the number and/or thetype of markers analysed. A set of 14X-STRs is further advantageous than 21 autosomal STRs (AS STRs)biallelic markers. Furthermore, the utility of X-STRs was also appear in cases shows that in father–daughterduos and merely a close family member of the alleged parent (father or mother) is existing for testing. Herewe present a cases with biological daughter of the alleged father and her mothers and putative grandmotherwas the genotyped relative are available for reconstructing his haplotype . Aiming to increase the PaternityIndex (PI), Probability of Paternity (PP), and obtain more reliable results. The result of X STR showed thatthe missing person (father) share 50% genotype with the donors (daughter)and (his mother) at each locus,there are no alleles in any one of these 13 loci conflict with the alleles inherited from her father and PosteriorProbability of paternity was (99.999958%) that is mean the missing person was biological father for thisdonor daughter.

Abstract

The consequences of this bacterium can be severe. Methicillin is one of these drugs, this drug, like other betalactams, inhibits Trans peptidases by binding to penicillin-binding protein (PBP). It prevents the formation ofpeptide glycans in the bacterial cell wall and destroys the bacterial cell wall. Chemical structure modificationhas made it resistant to the beta-lactamase enzyme produced by some bacteria. It was made in 1959. Today, ithas been removed from the list of drugs and better alternatives such as cloxacillin and nafsilin are available.It has a lower spectrum than penicillin but it works well against beta-lactamase-producing organismssuch as Staphylococcus aureus. Design and manufacture of nanoparticles for Aflax pump inhibitors inmethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria Preparation of BSA-meticillin nano-drug: This wasdone using the desolvation method and after ensuring the formation of nanodars using the XRD and FT-IRspectra, Microdiagnostic antibiogram testing was performed on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureusand the phenotypic pump activity of all isolates was performed by agar technique containing Ethidiumbromide by vil card method. According to a study, the Nano medicine albumin-methicillin has the highestinhibition of methylcellulose-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Aflax pump.
