Abstract

Background: Ginger has been widely used to relieve nausea and vomiting in several settings, one ofthem, patients receiving chemotherapy. This study was done to assess the effect of ginger in controlling thechemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) among patients. Methods: An interventional (pre-post)study design was conducted in oncology teaching hospital in Baghdad for three months. Sixty participantswere randomly assigned into intervention group (30 participants received ginger tea (1.5 g/d) with routineantiemetic regimen for the first 5 days of the chemotherapy cycle) and control group (30 participants receivedonly routine antiemetic regimen). MASCC Antiemesis Tool (MAT) was used for assessment of CINV incancer patients before and after the use of ginger tea.Results: No significant difference was observed between the intervention and control groups in the acuteand delayed phases of CINV after intervention with ginger tea(p >0.05), but difference between the studygroups was found statistically significant (p <0.05)regarding the severity of nausea postchemotherapy.Conclusions: The addition of ginger tea to routine antiemetic regimen in patients receiving chemotherapyeffectively reduced the severity of nausea. However, there is no additional role for ginger in reducing theacute and delayed phases of CINV.

Abstract

Information about methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) is unavailable in ourprovince, in comparison with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Two hundred and forty isolates ofStaphylococci were recovered from hemodialysis patients, from July-2019 to January-2020. Antimicrobialsusceptibility was performed for methicillin-resistant CoNS, by using the Kirby and Bauer technique.mecA gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results revealed that the infections werepredominant in males (66.7%) especially in the age group more than 60 years old. Patients from urban areasoccupied the highest percent in comparison with the rural areas.Staphylococcus epidermidis was predominant among other isolated genera (63.33%), of these forty strains(26.32%) were mecA positive, while Staphylococcus saprophyticus takes only (16.67%) and six isolates wereappeared to be mecA positive. Resistant patterns illustrated that most mecA positive strains were resistant tomore than one antibiotic of none-beta lactam antibiotics especially rifampin (60.87%).In conclusion, the increase of the antibiotic-resistant by coagulase-negative staphylococci, and in particularmec A gene containing CoNS, is a risk factor for residents of the holy city of Najaf.

Abstract

Background: Zinc is one of the most important essential trace metals in human nutrition and lifestyle withspecial role in diabetic patients mainly due to its involvement in insulin production, storage and secretion.-Objectives: to assess the effect of zinc supplementation on changing insulin resistance ,modifying lipidprofile and body mass index(BMI) in type II diabetics.-Design and Setting: A randomized controlled clinicaltrial.-Study participants: the study was carried on 50 type II diabetic patients, both gender and followed for6 weeks. the participants were randomly divided into intervention group who receives 50 mg/d elementalzinc and control group without zinc supplement.-Materials: S. zinc, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), fastingS. insulin, HbA1c, lipid profile, BMI were measured at the beginning(before supplementation and at the endof the 6 weeks duration.Results: After 6 weeks of zinc supplementation, serum zinc levels improved significantly (P=0.0001). Therewas no significant difference in BMI (P=0.092). Insulin resistance (IR), HbA1c were significantly decreased(change mean -0.75 P=0.004 and -0.72, P=0.001) respectively. HDL-C was significantly increased (changemean 3.56 mg/dl P=0.022). TG and TC were significantly decreased (change mean-10.92mg/dl P=0.001 and– 3.52mg/dl P=0.009) respectively. There was significant positive correlation between zinc intake and serumzinc level (R2=0.432).-Conclusion: Our study results revealed that supplementation of 50 mg zinc sulphateimproves insulin resistance and induces more healthy lipid profile, while it has no significant effect on BMIof type II diabetic patients after 6 weeks of supplementation.

Abstract

Background: the disorder of neuron system by the action of hyperglycemia is Diabetic neuropathyconsiders a common diabetic complication which is associated with a wide scope of clinical cases. Peripheralneuropathy (PN) represents a clinical case, wherein the peripheral nervous system is damaged. Accordingly,biochemical parameters have importance to apply as good predictor factors. Accordingly we attempt toassess the biochemical factors of Neuron Specific Enolase NSE, Calpotectin CALP, Xanthine Oxidase XODin patients suffering from this type of diabetes complications as early predictors and study their correlations.Methods: Fifty eight patients are known to have diabetic mellitus, which is classified into three groups.Group I represents DPN of 30 patients, group II referred to 28 diabetic patients without DPN, in additionto 30 healthy subjects as a control group, with range age (38-70) years old. BMI was determined for all thestudied groups. Levels of FBS, lipid categories and HbA1C were estimated. NSE, CALP and XOD levelswere measured by ELISA method. hs-CRP also determine for patients and control.Results: The results revealed that levels of both FBS and HbA1C are increased significantly (p<0.05)in both patients groups rather than healthy subjects. Moreover, results recorded an important increase ofcholesterol, TGs, LDL and VLDL levels (p<0.05). in contrast the HDL decrease in the two patient groupsrelated to healthy group. Increased levels of NSE, CALP, XOD and hs-CRP in DPN group and diabeticgroup compared with control group. The results of this study showed a direct correlation between BMI andFBS, in addition to BMI and hsCRP which possess the same correlation. Analysis by ROC curve showed thatboth NSE and CALP are representing the strongest markers for diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy followedby XOD and hs-CRP respectively.Conclusion: Levels of the studied factors consider good indicators to use them as suitable markers for earlydetection of diabetic sensory neuropathy. The results of ROC curve analysis revealed that NSE and CALP isthe strongest biomarker for diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy.
