<![CDATA[Introduction: Forensic odontology plays a vital role in investigation and presenting the dental evidencesto the court of law. The challenges that are encountered by the forensic odontologist are identifying theindividual which includes certain characteristic features to define an individual. Gendural dimorphismmeans systemic difference in form (shape or size) between individual of different genders in the samespecies. Teeth being considered as one of the stable part which can withstand any environmental changeseven after death of an individual in situations where there are minimal supporting evidences. Odontometricsis the field involving measurements of a tooth.Aim and Objective: This study aims in determining the sex of an individual using incisor index of maxillaryand mandibular arches as a tool in forensic investigation with brief review on literature.Material and Method: A total of 1200 permanent maxillary and mandibular teeth from 150 study modelswith an age range of 18 – 25 yrs were measured using manual divider and scale. The Incisor index (Ii) wasanalysed by using the formula as given by Aitchison (1964). The values were noted separately for maxillaryand mandibular dental arches with regards to central and lateral incisor and these data were subjected forstatistical analysis.Result: Maximum mesio-distal dimension of the all the incisors (maxillary and mandibular) were higher inmales than females. Incisor index of maxilla was higher in female when compared to male which was notstatistically significant. The Incisor index of mandible was higher in male when compared to females whichwas also statistically non-significant.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses and a subset of Coronaviridae. The present studyis the first report of voice sensitivity in patients with Covid-19.Case Report: In this case report, the patient was a 35-year-old man who referred to a private clinicspecializing in infectious and febrile diseases on October 26, 2016. According to the clinical symptoms andlaboratory test, the coronary test of the patient SARS-COV-2 (RdRp gene) and (E gene) SARS-COV-2 waspositive. The patient suffers from severe noise sensitivity from the first day of infection until 10 days aftertreatment.Conclusions: The patient was so sensitive to sound that different sounds had painful and excruciating effectson the patient’s mind and psyche. Therefore, sensitivity to sound can be one of the symptoms of Covid-19.]]>

<![CDATA[Background and Objectives: The causes, clinical presentation and management of the odontogenicinfection in children during the mixed and premixed dentition period should be thoroughly studied as itdiffers from that of adults. The study aimed to identify the common sources and presentation of dentalinfection in those children.Methods: The selected cases were 122 (54 females and 68 males). All cases presented with odontogenicinfection, examined meticulously to diagnose the source of infection.Results: The mean age was 6.5 years old (The age range was 3-10 years). The most common source ofinfection in primary teeth was the second primary molars (38 cases; 31.1%). The most common source ofinfection in permanent teeth was the first permanent lower molars (30 cases; 24.6%). The most commonpresentation was vestibular swelling (56 cases; 45.9%).Conclusion: Dental care should be provided early especially to the permanent first molars in children toavoid losing them. Teamwork between the oral surgeon and the general pediatrician is necessary for bettermanagement.]]>

<![CDATA[World Health Organization recorded that about 44% of infant deaths in 2012 happened in the first 28 daysafter birth, and 78.5% of deaths happen in the first week after births. It was estimated that 80% of infantdeaths happen at home (with little or no contact with health workers). Good quality care service for infantsespecially newborns at home is a serious challenge, thus an effort that could be performed is to optimizethe role of health workers in the community by doing homevisit.The goal of this researchto identify theself-efficacy of postpartum mothers before home visit and after home visit, to compare the self-efficacy ofintervention group and control group on newborn care by means of health workers role during home visit.This research use quantitative research with quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design method.The sample of the research was health workers; each with responsibility of one fostered family of a motherin postpartum period. The research site for the intervention group was the working area of UleeKarengHealth Center, and for the control group was the working area of Baiturrahman Health Center. The result ofthe research revealed that there was a change in self-efficacy of postpartum mothers on newborn care afterthree home visits by the health workers. The difference of the average efficacy score was 12.5, with p valueof 0.0001. When the efficacy of postpartum mothers from the intervention group (who received homevisits) was compared to that of mothers from the control group, there was a significant difference found,with p value of 0.003. Home visit executed by the health workers can improve self-efficacy of thepostpartum mothers on newborn care. This can be seen from the difference between self-efficacy of thepostpartum mothers before and after home visit by the health workers.]]>

<![CDATA[Biological control represents an important approach for controlling many dermatophyte fungi.Pleurotuseryngiiisa promising and effective bioagent against many pathogenic fungi. In this paperPleurotuseryngiiwere screened for their efficacy against Trichophytonrubrum. The results had been revealedthat the fruiting bodies extract of the bioagentPleurotuseryngiiaffected the radial growth of the dermatophytefungus Trichophytonrubrum. The extract of test fungus at all test concentrations had inhibitory effect on theradial growth of Trichophytonrubrum. The results had been revealed also that ethanolic extract was moreeffective than the aqueous extract of Pleurotuseryngiibut lower than the affectivity of the antifungal drugclotrimazole.]]>

<![CDATA[Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a major public health problem as a disease endemic in Iraqi population. Manydiagnostic tools are used to establish the diagnosis like smear, histopathology and culture. To find morerapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic method for the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis, and to detectthe genotypes of leishmania tropica and leishmania major strains in Iraq. Sixty six patients (43 males and23 females) with clinical diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis were included in present work during theperiod between December / 2019 to May / 2020 in Al-Yarmook Teaching Hospital and Al-Karama TeachingHospital. The age of patients ranged from 6 months to 55 years, with median age 24 years. The followingdiagnostic techniques were carried out for diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis including dental broachsmear, histopathology examination and culture on Roswell park medium institute (RPM I 1640) and onNNN media. In addition to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP), genotype techniques were performed for all patients. Sixty patients with other skin lesions wereprocessed for PCR as a control group.]]>
