Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the common malignant tumors of gastrointestinal tract (GIT). A total of 40 patients with CRC were studied preoperatively and postoperatively while only 20 healthy persons were studied. Their ages ranged between 18-78 years.This study was carried out to investigate the possible association of some risk factors with CRC such as (age, gender, smoking, inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis). With application of ELISA technique, Serum levels of CEA, CA 19-9, and CA 242 was measured preoperatively and postoperatively. The results showed an increase in preoperative serum level of CEA in CRC patients when compared to both postoperative and control groups, There was a significant increase in the serum level of CEA (10.73 ± 4.01) comparison with the two other groups (postoperative 3.95 ± 1.55) and control (1.91 ± 0.27) at (P<0.05), but no significant differences between the two groups (postoperative and healthy) which have mean (3.95 ± 1.55 and 1.91 ± 0.27) respectively. Also showed a significant increase in serum level of CA19-9 in patients preoperative (23.28 ± 1.86), who were differed significantly from the mean of serum in patients postoperative (18.63 ± 1.40) and control group (19.11 ± 1.46) at (P<0.05), When compared the serum level of CA242 revealed a significant increase in serum level of patients preoperative (19.58 ± 3.46) as compared to postoperative(8.75 ± 1.77) and control group(9.85 ± 2.22) at (P<0.05).

Abstract

Background: Unintended pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of problems especially when woman is not in her optimal health for childbearing. The problem of unintended pregnancy and its complication can be reduced by the use of emergency contraception. Objective: To explore the knowledge of health care doctors in Baghdad/Al Karkh, Iraq regarding emergency contraception pills. Participants and Method: A structured questionnaire was distributed to a total of 390 primary health care doctors (obstetrics and gynecology specialists, general practitioners and family physicians). The questionnaire contained two main domains: demographic characteristics and knowledge about EC. Results: The majority of the sample were females 287 (73.6%), and the general practitioner (41.8%), family medicine specialists (34.6%). about one third of them were in age 40–49 years old, 72.1% of the physicians have no training about emergency contraceptive.. Conclusion: A deficit in knowledge shown by health care physicians lead to an insufficient use of emergency contraceptive pills methods.

Abstract

Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmentation disorder characterized by the loss of functional skin and mucosal melanocytes the reported incidence is 0.5% to 2% worldwide. Its pathogenesis is mostly consider autoimmune and this pigmentary disorder is strongly associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders. To evaluate the serum thyroid hormone in vitiligo patients of Al-Anbar governorate and to compare the results with other external studies. The study group included 80 patients with vitiligo, and 40 healthy volunteers. Blood thyroid hormone was determined using Monobind kits from reliable USA company. Their ages ranged form 1 to 70 years. Family history of vitiligo was positive in a percentage of (30%) of the patients. The mean levels of serum thyroid hormone (T3, T4) in patients with vitiligo were found to be no significant difference than those of healthy individuals. The TSH level in patient with vitiligo were found to be significantly higher than those of healthy individuals. This study strengthens the relationship between the thyroid hormones intake, formation, and metabolism with the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Therefore it is concluded that vitiligo patients should be evaluated for thyroid hormones.

Abstract

150 samples from different clinical sources were collected from October 2018 to March 2019 from three hospitals in Maysan: Al Sadr General Education Hospital, Al Zahrawi Surgical Hospital and Maternity and Child Hospital to demonstrate the spread and distribution of Citrobacter freundii in several hospitals in Maysan. All isolates were identified based on morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. Results were confirmed by Api 20 E and Vitek 2 compact. A total of 14 isolates (9.3%) of 150 were found to be Citrobacter freundii. The isolates were considered as acute diarrhea in children, UTI, burns, wounds and most frequent ear swabs. PCR results showed that the LuxR 428bp genes were present in the Citrobacter freundii bacteria identified by previous diagnostic methods and this confirms the accuracy of the tests and methods used to determine this type.

Abstract

The experiment was designed to determine the protective role of pomegranate seed oil on lung function and tissue against cadmium chloride toxicity. In this experiment, 20 animals (rabbit females) were used. Lung efficiency was measured by measuring the size of red blood cells and hemoglobin, as well as studying the histological effects of cadmium chloride against lung tissue and the protective role of pomegranate seed oil . The results showed that the treatment of animals with cadmium chloride at a dose of 5 mg / kg bw for 30 days led to a significant increase in packed cell volume (PCV) and hemoglobin (Hb) compared to control group . The treatment of animals with cadmium chloride has also shown that there is no possibility of distinguishing the alveolar of lung (AV) with the presence of focal infiltration of the inflammatory cells with a marked thickening of the wall of the blood vessel (TW) with blood congestion (CON) Pomegranate seed oil improves most of the negative effects caused by cadmium chloride .
