Abstract

P. aeruginosa is currently one of the most frequently nosocomial pathogens and the infections due to this organism are often difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance. P. aeruginosa is an important pathogen in hospitalized patient’s causative to their morbidity and mortality due to its multiple resistance mechanisms. Therefore, as a therapeutic option becomes restricted, the search for a new agent is a priority. One hundred and fifty samples were collected from different sources, divided into two main groups: clinical (80)samples and (70) hospital environment samples as a Nosocomial, collected all from October to the December of the year 2018. All of these samples were cultured by specific and differential media, Forty (40) isolates of P.aeruginosa bacteria were identified by using microscopic examination, biochemical tests. The identification of 40 isolates of P.aeruginosa bacteria confirmed by VITEK-2 system. A molecular detection the presence of Tnp-R gene in P. aeruginosa bacteria by conventional PCR to detect the Transposons and their relationship with multiple resistance of bacteria.

Abstract

Background: Blastocystis hominis (B.hominis) is the most common intestinal parasite in humans and many other animals. Infections with the organism are spread worldwide and some of them have been asymptomatic, acute symptomatic and chronic. Materials and Method: 100 blood samples were collected from patients with B.hominis which were reviewing to some Hospital and health center in Diyala province during the period from October 2018 to March 2019. To determine the extent of IgG antibody responses in serum patients infected with B.hominis for depending on the chromatic changes resulting from the association of antigens with antibodies. Results: The results of the current study showed the percentage of infection among males was (56.25%) , which is higher than that of females (43.75%), and the age group (3-6) years among males showed the highest rate of infection (33.34%) and the lowest in age groups less from one year and (9-12) years groups at (11.11%). The rate of infection in the age groups(1-3) years and (6-9) years was (22.22%) and in the age group of (1-3) years was the highest incidence among female groups (42.86%), while the age group (3-6) years showed less than that (28.57%) and significant differences at the level of probability less than (0.05). The percentage of B. hominis infection increased among the rural population by (56.5%), male infected, (57.14%) female, while the proportion of males among the urban population was (44.44%) and females reached (42.86%), with a standard deviation of (1.600 ± 0.495) and (1.480 ±0.505) respectively. Conclusions: The presence of immunoglobulin IgG in serum patients has been shown to stimulate the cellular immune response and be indicative of long-term immunity against pathogenic antigens.

Abstract

Background : Febrile seizures are the most predominant neurological disorders in children between 6 months-5 years, at the same time iron deficiency anemia is one of nutritional insult that implicated as risk factor for occurrence of febrile seizures. Objectives: to estimate the role of iron deficiency as a risk factor for febrile seizures in children aged 6 months -5 years, western Iraq. Patients and method:- A case control study has been conducted in AL Ramadi maternity and children teaching hospital during January to October of 2016. All children with history of febrile seizures aged 6 months-5years were involved as cases group, others with febrile illness and no seizures were considered as control group. Data from 58 child of each group were collected. The data include age, sex ,temperature, causes of febrile illness, Hb ,hematocrit and s. ferritin levels. The data were subjected to statistical analysis run under IBM SPSS ver. 23. Results:- Means age ± SD were 27.48±14.83 & 23.24±14.37 months in cases and control groups respectively with no significant difference between them. Most of the children (65.52%) of those with febrile seizures were less than 3 years old. Mean temperature of cases group (38.860 C) was found to be significantly greater than that of the control group (38.520 C) at p-value <0.01. Mean Hb level ,PCV%, s. ferritin level were significantly lower in cases group than in control group. Proportion of iron deficiency anemia was significantly higher in febrile seizure group (65.52%) than in control group (31.03%) at p-value< 0.01. Conclusions: Occurrence of IDA in cases group is found to be more than 2 times of that in the control group. Early detection and proper treatment of IDA can play a prominent role in limitation the prevalence of febrile seizures among children below 5 years.

Abstract

Antibiotics are harmful pharmaceuticals to ecosystems in general and aquatic systems in particular. Therefore, its remediation from water bodies is a topic of great importance for water treatment and purification workers. This research investigates the removal of one of the most famous types of antibiotics, which was tetracycline from simulated synthetic aqueous solutions by adsorption technique using non-toxic, low cost and available agricultural waste which was pomegranate peels. The adsorption experiments were performed in adsorption laboratory unit of batch mode at different operating conditions and laboratory temperature. The operating parameters studied included pH of solution, dose of adsorbent media, treatment time, agitation speed and initial concentration of tetracycline. The results showed the ability of pomegranate peels to extract tetracycline from aqueous solutions with high efficiency of 81.55%. The results also showed that the percentage of antibiotic adsorption from aqueous solutions was inversely correlated with increasing the initial concentration and acidic function of the tetracycline solution while it was directly proportional to the amount of pomegranate peels, agitation speed and treatment time. In this style, one of the most important types of antibiotics that contaminated water was disposed of by a cheap material and using a simple, economical and environmentally friendly method accessing to the principle of zero residue level (ZRL).

Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently thought as a surgical procedure that can be done with less risk of complications. However, intraoperative and postoperative complications were existing in 56 (15.01%) patients. Open surgery is the case when laparoscopic cholecystectomy fails to be proceeded with due to many causes such as difficult Calot triangle dissection and empyema of gallbladder. The high occurrence of cholecystitis in the group of patients aged 40-60 (56%) with 151 female and 59 males initiating the floor to many arguments that may help give a good understanding for such a problem. Iatrogenic perforation of gallbladder was the most common cause of intraoperative complications. Wound infection was the most cause of postoperative complications. Difficult Calot triangle dissection was the most common cause to convert to open surgery.
