Abstract

Bacterial species of the ESKAPE group (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiellapneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli) are oftenresistant to antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to find out the antibiotics resistance formedby ESKAPE pathogens in hospitals in the city of Ramadi, in Iraq. All bacteria within this clinicallyrelevant ESKAPE group were isolated from September 2020 to April 2021. Identification of isolateswas performed by Vitek 2 system and the Sensitivity Test was carried out using a disk diffusionmethod. The majority of pathogens isolated from patients at Ramadi Hospitals belong to the ESKAPEgroup. The percentage of bacterial isolates was K. pneumoniae (33.96%), E. coli (20.75%), S. aureus(20.13%), P. aeruginosa (11.32 %), E. faecalis (9.43%), and A. baumannii (4.41%). Some isolates ofE. coli were Resistance to all antibiotics, while P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae were 100% resistantto Vancomycin and Tetracycline. The presence of the ESKAPE group of pathogens is a major problemin Ramadi city hospitals. The results of this study support the implementation of special antimicrobialstrategies to specifically target these microorganisms.

Abstract

Enzymes are be defined as soluble, colloidal, organic catalysts which are produced by living cells.Enzymes are biologic catalysts to accelerate the rate of biochemical reactions.in this study Quantification of the Enzyme Activity, Where: E = enzyme concentration; S = substrateconcentration; ES = enzyme-substrate complex concentration; k1, k3= 1st order reaction rate constants(t-1); P = product concentration; k2= 2nd reaction rate constant (M-1.t-1).At first, it must be stressed thatthe formation of ES (enzyme-substrate complex) is an obligatory step to any type of enzyme-catalyzedreaction. The ES, depending on the reaction conditions, can form the product (forward reaction) ornot (reward reaction). The immobilization technique allowed a more frequent use of biomaterials inindustry, therapeutics (confection of subcutaneous capsules for controlled delivering of hormones), andlab analysis (automatic dosing equipments, enzyme electrode, biosensors and enzyme immunoassays).In industry, the use of glucose isomerase for the conversion of glucose into fructose (high fructosecorn syrup), the aminoacylase for the separation of racemic mixture of amino acids, microbial lipase intriglyceride hydrolysis, and the lactase for removing lactose from milk and/or whey are stressed.

Abstract

Athletics in general, and in particular the 400-meter freestyle event, requires special physical preparationfor the parts of the body that greatly participate in the skillful performance so that the running processcan be performed in the correct manner and with minimal effort by matching the muscles of the legs,distributing the exerted force during the run and increasing its quantities, from this basis, we mustfocus on the strength component, because strength has a good effect in the final achievement of the400-meter freestyle, as modern training methods must be used here to improve the strength component,and among these methods is the complex training whose basis is the mixing of weight exercises withplyometric exercises where weight exercises are stimulated muscles well and with plyometric exercises,allowing contractions moving in a circle (lengthening - shortening), therefore, the importance of theresearch lies in providing data and information within the complex training to know its effect on theforce distinguished by speed and the quantities of strength for specific distances and the achievementof 400 free meters, by applying these double exercises together and because they have an effect on thedevelopment of the most important types of muscle capacity, either the problem of research and throughthe follow-up of the researcher for many training units for 400-meter freestyle runners in Kerbala, theresearchers noted the lack of trainers’ use of modern training methods that would raise the level of themuscular capabilities of runners and their reliance on traditional training methods, and the importanceof research is to perform exercises in a complex training method and to identify the effect of temporarytraining on strength distinguished by speed and strength quantities for specific distances and to achieve400 free meters.

Abstract

Febrile seizures are the most common seizures in children. Their incidence is (2-5 %). To date, thepathophysiology of febrile seizures is unknown. But several hypotheses have been supposed that itmay relate with plasma iron level. Such low risk in thalassemic patients whose plasma iron level is highcould give some clues to this hypothesis.Aim of the Study: Determine the risk of febrile seizure in thalassemic patients in comparism with thecorresponding control group.Patients and Methods: This case –control study was conducted on one hundred fifty patients withthalassemia major between six month and six years of age who were visit Babylon center for inheritedblood diseases in the Teaching hospital for maternity and children from April 2019 to January 2020.All medical records of thalassemic patients were thoroughly reviewed and the occurrence of febrileseizures are interviewed and compared with the control group .The children in the control group areneither thalassemic nor has iron deficiency anemia.Results: Febrile seizure was detected in one case of the thalassemic group (0.66%) versus six cases(4%) of the control group. The risk of febrile seizure in the control group was 6 times more than that inthe thalassemia group, which was statistically significant (P =0.036).Conclusion: The risk of febrile seizures in thalassemic patients was (0.16) that of the general childrenpopulation. Thus, iron overload may be a major factor involving the brain metabolism that preventsfebrile seizures.
