Abstract

Background : Infertility is a universal medical problem, 50% was contributed to male factors. Zinc is an important elements for all living cells and it is one of the most important trace elements in our bodies. Nanoparticles, are mall particles, that have a large surface area if compared to their size, this small size, help them to enter into living cells easily. This makes them an essential participant in all biological interactions and their modern applications. The aim was to evaluate the effects of Zinc and Nano zinc on male gonads histology and function. Methods: A double blind case control study, designed to test the effects of Zinc oxide and Nano zinc oxide on 20 rats that were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. Control, Zinc, Nano zinc, and hybrid (zinc and Nano zinc) group. The dose was 0.11mg/kg. Results: There was significant change in in serum Zinc and testosterone, more in ZnNPs containing groups. While the histological picture of testis ameliorated in zinc arm, but worsen in ZnNPs arm of experiment. These results lead to the Conclusion that Nano zinc though improve S. testosterone, it can damage the testicular tissues in certain doses.

Abstract

Sterilization procedures is an essential clinical competency in health care to minimize visibility of hospital staff, guests, patients, and their visitors, follow both of these grooming instructions. incorporate infectious control and outbreak detection techniques across all healthcare systems Since one of the main factors for medical services is the prevention of infectious infections, the health care team must consider infection management and infection control as well. in order to deter the transmission of microorganisms, process involves all hands-use, safety clothing (gowns, masks), and adequate waste disposal.the aim of this research is to evaluate nursing’s sterilization techniques. The preliminary pre-experimental architecture was put in place in place in Al-Dani Teaching Hospital for the duration of the timeframe from (17 September, 2020 to 16 March, 2021) on non-probability sampling of 30 Emergency department staff.The analysis showed major changes in the application of sterile domains from before the evaluation (pvalue=0.0001). The researcher found that emergency department nurses did not use appropriate sterilization techniques prior to the introduction of an instructional curriculum, yet after the application, they demonstrated high quality toward the use of sterilization techniques Facilities and medical equipment are urged to develop their awareness and sterilization procedures in the ED; it also, emergency nurses with additional experience are invited to join

Abstract

Background: Sickle cell anemia is a chronic disease and a blood disorder that induces cellular modification to the sickle-shaped form of defective hemoglobin in red blood cells. It is the most common genetic blood disease in the world. For people with sickle cell disease, it is important to explore non pharmacological treatments and use them as alternatives to drug treatments to relieve and treat acute and chronic pain. Methodology: A descriptive (quasi experimental) design. This study used a pretest, posttest I and posttest II with a design that is used is the one group. A non- probability sample of (30) mother was chose. Result: The findings of the study indicated that there was high significant difference among mother’s knowledge pretest and posttest I and posttest II at p-value =0.001. That indicates the effectiveness of educational program.Conclusion: The study concluded that there was no significant relationship between (age of mother, marital status, and Number of Pain Crises per Month) with mother’s knowledge also significance relationship between (level of education,) with mother’s knowledge. Recommendation: Frequent lectures and such educational program about non pharmacological to pain management should be implemented in Basra center for hereditary blood disease. Provide an educational booklet for mother includes information about sickle cell anemia and non-pharmacological to pain management. Real need for coordination with the media in order to increase mothers’ knowledge about non pharmacological to pain management.

Abstract

Study background: A chest tube is a drain that is inserted into the pleural cavity space to extract air, fluid, or blood to restore negative pressure to the pleural space, re-expand a partially collapsed lungs, and prevent reflux or leakage back into the chest. Since the pleural cavity’s .Methodology :The study was designed as quiz-experiment design using test retest approach for study groups .The sample (30) nurses enrolled as a control group and (30) nurses enrolled as a study group participants were exposed to an educational program pre test1, post test1 post test 2 .Results: The results of the study indicate that there are differences with the high test between the previous and post-test in the experimental group (the study group) in the main general axes with nursing knowledge care chest Table (4-2-2) shows summary statistics concerning nurses’ knowledge of the chest tube related to formed questionnaire’s items along (Pre, Post1, and Post2) studied periods due to applying a proposed of an educational program for the study group the table shows the assessments Intervals scoring scales of relative Sufficiency Coefficient (RS%): [L: Low (0.00 – 33.33)]; [M: Moderate (33.34 – 66.66)]; [H: High (66.67 – 100)]. The results of controlled group has recorded marginal immovable responses over the three periods of times with low levels or moderate but all of studied items illustrated too highly and meaningful changeability with highly levels of evaluations along (pre-post2) periods.Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the pre-test and post test result of educational program also significant nurses’ response concerning nursing knowledge chest tube care.Recommendations: The nurses’ are provided with suitable training to participate in the program and receive information on the best way to encourage communities they serve to get chest tube care in children

Abstract

Purpose: To assess peripheral refraction, corneal, and visual acuity changes after open eye use of orthokeratology (OrthoK) contact lenses. Methodology: OrthoK contact lenses were worn on separate occasions for half an hour and 2 hours in open eye condition. The peripheral refraction (PR) changes were assessed monocularly up to 30° nasally and temporally in the horizontal visual field using the open field autorefractometer. Average corneal power (ACP), central corneal thickness (CCT), and visual acuity (VA) was recorded using corneal topographer, specular microscope, and LogMAR chart respectively. Results: Mean baseline PR at 25° and beyond both nasally and temporally was -0.54 ± 1.68D (mean ± SD) which increased to mean -1.29 ± 1.43D (p < 0.01) post half an hour of lens wear and further increased to mean -1.62 ± 1.53D (p < 0.01) after 2 hours lens wear. The mean baseline ACP was 43.45 ± 1.34D that reduced to mean 43.11 ± 1.37D (p < 0.01) after half an hour of lens wear and a further reduction to mean 42.73 ± 1.34D (p < 0.01) 2 hours post lens wear. Mean CCT changes after half an hour lens wear were not significant but it reduced by mean 14.92 ± 4.68 µm (p < 0.01) 2 hours post lens wear as compared to baseline. The unaided VA improved from mean 0.85 + 0.37 log at baseline to mean 0.49 + 0.35 log (p < 0.01) after half an hour of lens wear and mean 0.39 + 0.35 log (p < 0.01) after 2 hours of OrthoK lens wear. Conclusion: Rapid corneal and peripheral refraction shifts are seen after half an hour of open-eye wear of the OrthoK lens with a gradual rise in impact for 2 hours of lens wear.

To correlate the study finding with demographic variable. Materials and Methods: Thisstudy was based on one group pre-test post-test experimental research study. The population was the ruralcommunity people from Sawangi and Salod in the Wardha district. The subject consisted of 50 communitypeople of 18-50 years of age in the selected rural community of Wardha district. Results: The minimumscore in the posttest was 13 and the maximum score was 18, the mean score for the posttest was 16.04±1.10with a mean percentage score of 89.11±6.14. The tabulated value for n=50-1 i.e. 49 degrees of freedom was2.00. The calculated ‘t’ value is much higher than the tabulated value at 5% level of significance for overallknowledge score of community people which is a statistically acceptable level of significance.
