Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a syndrome that affects arterial blood vessels. Arteriosclerosis thickens the walls ofblood vessels as a result of accumulation of macrophages and white blood cells, and fat accumulation ismore pronounced over time. Blood pressure, smoking, obesity, lifestyle, sugar and age are risk factors.Atherosclerosis. The symptoms and signs of atherosclerosis differ depending on the arteries affected byatherosclerosis.This study was conducted in the Pharma lab in the city of Fallujah and samples were collected from theFallujah General Hospital. 50 samples were collected, 30 of which were patients with atherosclerosis and theremaining 20 samples were for healthy people. The samples included both males and females between theages of 30 to 78 years. A questionnaire was used to collect some information from patients and correctionsthat included (gender, age, blood pressure, smoking, Weight and blood sugar) and some tests were performed(Cholesterol , TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL, GOT, GPT, ALP, Albumin). The results showed a significantincrease in concentrations of Chol, TG, LDL, VLDL, GOT, GPT, ALP) in patients with atherosclerosisand a significant decrease in concentrations of both HDL and ALB in patients with atherosclerosis at theprobability level (P ? 0.05). The results also showed that males are more susceptible to arteriosclerosis thanFemales, and also showed that the greater the age, the greater the risk factors for atherosclerosis. The morerisk factors for atherosclerosis increase with increasing body mass. As for smoking, the results indicated thatit has an effect on atherosclerosis, as people who smoke have increased risk factors for atherosclerosis, anddisease risk factors increase with increased blood pressure and sugar.

Abstract

Introduction December 2019, the world witness a new strand of pathogen known as coronavirus-2 (SARSCoV-2), later recognized as the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). By April 1st 2020, the confirmedcases were over 800,000 around the world with over 40,000 fatalities. Individuals with cancer are morevulnerable to COVID-19 impact because of compromised health-status.Methods A comprehensive search method was applied by searching the google scholar using the keywordsto select eligible studies to be included in the reviewResults The findings showed that patients with cancer, especially thoracic malignancies that wereinfected with COVID-19 infection during the hospital stay developed severe cardiorespiratory symptomsthat warranted use of a mechanical ventilator. The cancer patients with COVID-19 had increased rateof hospitalization and a poor outcome as well as a higher risk of mortality when compared to healthyindividuals. It is recommended that cancer patients taking anti-tumour drugs should undergo early screeningfor COVID-19 because the anti-tumour drugs also suppress the immune system. Hence, their dosage shouldbe regulated appropriately incase of COVID-19 co-infection.Conclusion In risk-mitigation pandemic scenario in COVID-19 period, efforts should be made not tocompromise the prognosis of cancer in these patients by adhering to treatment guideline.

Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common malignant cancer and the second most common cancerin men worldwide. It is the second leading cause of death after lung cancer in men. This study performed todetermine the risk factors for prostate cancer in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces.Method: The present study was a retrospective and case-control study in which 80 prostate cancer patientsand 140 controls matched in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces. Data collected using a questionnaireand interviewed by the researcher. To analyze the data, Chi-square and logistic regression tests with oddsratio with 95% confidence conducted using SPSS v.22 software.Results: The results showed that in the univariate conditional logistics analysis, The highest odds ratiofor prostate cancer related to red meat consumption 2-4 times a week (95% CI: 2.60 – 26.40) was 20.74and The smallest odds ratio was related to continuous physical activity 0.34 ( 95% CI: 0.19 – 0.61). Inthe multivariate conditional logistic regression model, after removing the confounding variables, it wasobserved that the history of pelvic imaging, red meat consumption 2-4 times a week, fast food consumptionand processed meat consumption 2-4 times a week, Family history of prostate cancer, history of urogenitalinfections were identified as the most effective factors in prostate cancer.Conclusion: Family history of prostate cancer, history of urinary tract infection, history of smoking, historyof pelvic imaging, consumption of red meat, consumption of fast food and processed meats were the mostimportant predictors of prostate cancer in this study. It can be considered by educational and health plannersto prevent this cancer and take appropriate intervention measures.

Abstract

The CYP19 gene is a protein-coding gene that stimulates the transmutation of androgens to estrogens,aromatase activity is related to haplotypes of the CYP19 gene, therefore this study aimed to detect haplotypesof the CYP19 gene in the Holstein bulls. This study, conducted from October 2018 to June 2019. Forty-twoBulls, aged between 4-6 years old were used, which belonged to local farmers in Basra city, south of Iraq.The DNA was extracted from semen, PCR amplification was carried out to acquire the DNA sequence. Thesequences were analyzed by using some Bioinformatics tools. The results showed four haplotypes in theCYP19 gene as a result of silent and missense mutations in comparison with the same gene in GenBank, allthe haplotypes are recorded in GenBank, DDBJ and EMBL. These findings call for further studies to revealthe relationship of CYP19 gene haplotypes and semen characteristics to uncover bulls’ fertility

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of green tea administration on TNF-a, Hsp70, andTGF-b1 levels in the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Material and methods: A total of 32 micewill be divided into four groups (each 8 mice), namely the control group, the SLE group, the SLE groupwho were given green tea extract at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight, and the SLE group who were givengreen tea extract at a dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Analysis of TNF-a, Hsp70, and TGF-b1 levels wascarried out using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Results: TNF-a and TGF-b1 levelswere significantly increased in the SLE group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). This increase canbe significantly reduced through the provision of green tea, even reaching levels comparable to the controlgroup (p > 0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that green tea containing EGCG can suppress TNF-a andTGF-b1 in the SLE model. Thus, green tea can be an alternative in immunology modulation in SLE.

Abstract

Introduction: Humans are more likely to feel contented with a familiar experience however discomfortwith a novel one. The issues of pain, anxiety and fear are always a major part of dentistry. Dental anxietywill result in avoidance of dental care. The initial interaction between the dentist and the patient can revealthe presence of dental anxiety. Aim: This study was aimed assess the awareness about the management ofpain and anxiety during dental treatment among dental students. Methodology: A cross sectional studywas conducted using self-administrated questionnaire, through Google forms using various social mediaplatforms such as whatsapp, facebook among 200 dental students from third year to final year in TamilNadu, India during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period. Statistics was done and tabulated. Results:It was observed that 80% participants feel interrelation between dental anxiety and pain and 89% believeoffice environment and dental staff affects patient mind-set. 65.5% considers pharmacological route of painmanagement as effective strategy with 48.5% preferring conscious sedation and 36.5% accepts sedation caneliminate the use of local anesthesia. Conclusion: From the present study we would like to conclude thatmost of the dental students were aware about pain and anxiety management during dental treatments howeverfurther educational improvement regarding pain and anxiety in emergency conditions, especially concerningthe assessment methods and continuity in the control of pain might result in better patient satisfaction.
