Abstract

Background: Lip prints are subjected to be unique for all the individuals except monozygotic twins; hencethey can be an important indicator for human identification. Since, Aryan population are descendants ofnorth India and Dravidian population are descendants of south India. AIM: The aim of the study was toassess the uniqueness of lip prints among Aryan and Dravidian ethnic population. Materials and method: Across sectional study was conducted among 192 individuals of Aryan and Dravidian population. Convenientsampling was used to select the study population among the Tamilnadu and Chandigarh states in India. Thelip prints were recorded with the help of lip sticks and glue portion of the cello tape. Statistical analysiswas done using spss software version 20.0. Results: In the present study, branched lip print pattern waspredominantly seen in males of Dravidian population. In contrast, least commonly predominant was partiallyvertical pattern which was absent in both the males and females of Aryan population. Conclusion: Lip printsare a unique feature for human identification. In this study, it was found that branched lip print pattern washigher in males of Dravidian population and the partially vertical type was least predominant among themales and females of Aryan and Dravidian population.

Abstract

Background: Iraq still considered one of the countries in the region with high prevalence of TB, there areabout 20000 patients, accounts for 3% of the total number of cases, and the estimated death from TB exceeds4000 per year. TB in Iraq until nowadays considered a health, public and social problem, and because ofthe wars and political problems, many programs, campaigns, and researches were hundred by this situationObjective: To detect endometrial Tuberculosis in women complaining from AUB (abnormal uterinebleeding) using real time PCR method of assessment via taking an endocervical swab.Patients and methods: Prospective cross-sectional study carried at Department of obstetrics and gynecologyin Baghdad teaching hospital /medical city over a period of eight months starting from Octuber2019, toAugest2020. A total of 60 women complaining from abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB) who were scheduledto have endometrial biopsy for histopathology by dilatation and curettage(D&C), endocervical swab assessedfor female genital tuberculosis(FGTB) by real time PCR.Results: Out of 60 samples taken 6 were positive by real time PCR 10%, while there was only one casepositive by histopathology 1.66% which was also positive by PCR the same patient gave history of pulmonaryTB and received a nine month course of treatment, according to these findings the sensitivity of PCR foundto be 100% while the specificity92% and an accuracy of 92%.Conclusion: Real time PCR considered one of the valuable diagnostic tools for mycobacterium tuberculosis,and because Iraq still showing high incidence of the disease, one should suspect mycobacterium tuberculosisin any women complaining from abnormal uterine bleeding and offer PCR in addition to other diagnosticmodalities, luckily it will allow treatment at an early stage of the disease.

Abstract

Nasal polyps,the prolapsed linings of nasal mucosa are one of the commonly encountered conditions in theoutpatient department of otolaryngology, The aim of this study is to study the etiology of nasal polyps andalso to compare between the different methods used for diagnosis of nasal polyps.This study was submitted prospectively on 100 patients diagnosed with nasal polyps (diagnosed eitherclinically or radiologically) with evidence of nasal obstruction,rhinorrhae and headache. from April 2015till April 2017. All patients had been selected from the outpatient clinics of Al-Zahraa University Hospitaland Kobry El Koppa military hospital. The study was approved by the ethics committee of Al Azhar Facultyof Medicine.A total of 100 patients were analyzed, age range 18 to 56 yrs with a mean age of 38.5 yrs. There were 83 maleand 17 female. The main presenting symptoms are nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. Most of the cases wasbilateral nasal polyps,. The commonest clinical diagnoses were non-neoplastic simple nasal polyps 84% andabout 13% were benign neoplastic, 3% were malignant . The commonest histological diagnosis among nonneoplastic nasal polyps was simple allergic nasal polyp, among benign neoplastic was inverted papilloma.most of neoplastic lesions were presented by unilateral nasal polyps,where epistaxis was noticed mostlywith vascular tumour and malignant ones. The results show that most of nasal polyps were simple nonneoplastic lesions especailly bilateral ones,also for proper evaluation of nasal polyps clinical, radiologicaland histopathological evaluation should be done in all patients.

Abstract

Pregnancy is known to create profound changes in the body. It causes hormonal changes in the bodywhich may lead to changes in lipid profile. TSH levels are usually suppressed due to very high levelsof Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) during the first half of the pregnancy. Thyroid dysfunction mayresult in various changes in triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol and other lipoproteins. Dyslipidemia, aconsequence of thyroid dysfunction, generally increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.The study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, MMC&RI, Mysore. 100 women with asingleton pregnancy irrespective of parity and gravida were enrolled and cases like chronic hypertension,Diabetes mellitus, Renal Disorders and Thyroid Disorders, Obstetric and Foetal Complications (Hydropsfoetalis, congenital foetal anomalies) were excluded from the study. Blood was analysed for thyroid andlipid profile.Conclusion: T3, T4 and TSH levels are within normal range during pregnancy. There is a positive correlationbetween TSH levels and cholesterol. This suggest that regular TSH and cholesterol estimation is veryimportant during pregnancy to reduce the maternal and fetal complications.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can attackthe lungs and other organs. Pulmonary tuberculosis is still one of the world’s public health problems eventhough TB control efforts have been implemented in many countries since 1995. The target of the nationalpulmonary TB prevention program is eliminated in 2035 and Indonesia free from pulmonary TB in 2050.Purpose of Research, this is to find out the factors that influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosisin the Jati Health Center Area. This study uses secondary data taken from data from the Jati Health Centerand the analysis in this study uses the CHAID Exhaustive method. The results of this study indicate thatthe number of pulmonary tuberculosis patients with a positive smear suspicion when viewed from the typeof sufferers is mostly new cases as many as 216 people. Associated with the type of patient who came fortreatment at the Teak Health Center, all patients seeking treatment received a cure category of 99.6% whichis a new patient treatment category. So the factors that influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis arethe type of patient and treatment results.

Abstract

Enterobacter cloacae is the most common pathogenic species of the genus Enterobacter, identified inhospitalized and enfeebled patients as the etiologic agent of many infections and considered as a significantbacterial pathogen in recent years. E. Cloacae are typical gram negative opportunistic forms of bacteria thatcause illness after another infection or injury has influenced the host immune system and are related withnosocomial infections. The infection may be caused by GIT, UTI or cross contamination of the blood. Thepresent study focused on the existence of the main curli biogenesis gene (csgA) and the role of pH as anenvironmental factor in the gene expression (csgA) for curli biogenesis. In this study, urine samples from75 patients.In Baghdad city clinically diagnosed with urinary tract infection,for gram staining, Api20Systemand gene expression (csgA) gene in Standardized pH7 and acid pH4 RT-PCR was performed with specificprimers. Conventional gram staining techniques, agricultural methods and System API 20E showed goodresults for E. Cloacae. For the 75 patients, 10 (13.3%) the findings find the highest gene expression foldvalues for the (csgA)gene in pH7 while the lowest fold value for (csgA) at acid pH4 (0.1577) thus themodify conditions growth such as pH of bacteria E. Cloacae triggers gene expression changes for biogenesisprocess. the findings of rpoB gene expression, which was used as a control gene, indicated that this gene wasgood as a housekeeping gene.

Abstract

Despite having carried out maternity care in healthcare facilities, neonatal deaths still occur. A study wasconducted to analyze the effect of antenatal care (ANC) on neonatal death incidence in healthcare facilitiesin Indonesia. The study used the 2017 IDHS data. With stratification and multistage random sampling,13.104 women aged 15-49 years with live births in the last 5 years, who performed maternity care in thehealthcare facility, were sampled. Apart from ANC, other independent variables analyzed were a type ofplace, age, education, wealth, employment, parity, and complication during pregnancy. The final stageemployed a binary logistic regression test. The analysis found that women who made complete ANC visitsduring pregnancy (?4 times) were 0.486 times more likely than women who did not complete ANC visits(<4 times) (OR 0.486; 95% CI 0.266-0.887). The results of this analysis inform that carrying out a completeANC visit is a protective factor for women who perform maternity care in healthcare facilities in Indonesiafrom neonatal death incidence. Apart from ANC, 2 variables were also found to have a significant effecton neonatal death incidence in healthcare facilities in Indonesia. These two variables are the age groupand complications during pregnancy. Meanwhile, education level, wealth status, employment status, andparity proved insignificant. It was concluded that ANC is a determinant of neonatal death incidence inthe healthcare facility in Indonesia. Complete ANC visits are a protective factor for women who performmaternity care in healthcare facilities in Indonesia from neonatal death incidence.

Abstract

Bodily injuries, caused by firearms and special non-lethal means, which are provided for law enforcementagencies and special services and they are available to the civilian population as well (pistols for firingammunition equipped with elastic bullets, stun guns, etc.,) and the consequences of torture using variousmethods and the traumatic factors that caused by them have to get expert objective assessment. Among otherlaboratory studies, it is important to determine the characteristics of the composition of chemical elementsin objects of biological and non-biological origin by performing X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis usingmodern spectrometers. The object: to determine the characteristics of the elemental composition of metalsand their topography in injuries caused by gunshots and stun gun by conducting X-ray fluorescence spectralanalysis using spectrometers “ElvaX CEP-01” and “M4 TORNADO”. Conclusions: the use of spectrometersincreases the accuracy and objectivity of expert examinations of injuries caused by firearms and electricshock device as they have a wide range of chemical elements detection in the composition of the products ofthe shot and the electro tag from sodium to uranium. Using X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis, it is possiblenot only to detect metals in the layers of soot on injuries, but also to conduct a targeted “microscopic” studyof their topography for partial group identification of firearms and the installation of electrode metal, whichacted as a contact body conductor. X-ray fluorescence spectral analysis is a non-destructive research method.
