Abstract

Cryptosporidium is an apicomplexan parasite that is increasingly recognized among immunocompetent hostsas a leading cause of childhood diarrhea in lower source settings and of waterborne diarrheal outbreaks inhigh income countries. C. parvum, which infects bovines, wild animals and humans, account for the majorityof human infections. Cryptosporidium oocysts are transmitted via the fecal oral route, including by person toperson spread, from contaminated food or water, or from contact with infected animals. 300 Stool sampleswere collected from patients in Hilla city from different hospitals. DNA extracted from stool samples, PCRamplification of DNA. Genotyping of HSP70 gene and DHFR Gene was performed using a polymerasechain reaction technique, followed by DNA sequencing. Accordingly, these DNA polymorphisms wereconfirmed using DNA sequencing. The sequencing results showed the presence of many SNPs determinedin the HSP70 gene and DHFR gene.

Abstract

This study aimed to know the effect of an electronic learning environment according to the collaborativee-learning strategy on cognitive achievement by studying teaching methods for female students. Theexperimental approach was used in the study, by two experimental groups, a control, and each group (20)students. To achieve the objectives of the study, the cognitive achievement test was built to study teachingmethods and design an electronic learning environment to study the teaching method material, and theresults indicated that there are statistically significant differences between the averages of the two groups inthe measure of cognitive achievement in the post-application and for the benefit of the experimental group.The results were discussed in light of the theoretical framework, as well as Some recommendations andfuture studies have been drawn up.

Abstract

Contraception is a program employed to avoid pregnancy during premenopausal period where as hormonereplacement therapy (HRT) is a medical option to ameliorate menopausal complications. The present studywas designed to evaluate the effects of contraceptions and HRT on estradiol hormone ,tissue plasminogenactivator-1 (TPA-1),and plasminogen activator in hibitor-1(PAI-1).One hundred (120) women were recruited ;30 women with contraception; 30 women with HRT ,and60women contraception ; with HRT , and 60 women as a control group. All ages of women were rangedbetween 31-70 years old and subdivided into four groups(31-40,41-50, 51-60, 61-70 years old ).Data obtained from this study indicated a significant elevation (p<0.05) in the levels of estradiol hormone inall tested groups of women compared to control women (without contraception and HRT).It was establisheda significant drop (p<0.05) in the concentration of TPA-1 in women taking contraception and those intakeHRT in a comparison with control groups. About levels of PAI-1,they were significantly higher (p<0.05)in both women with contraception and HRT than of control women .From these observations the availableconclusion may be administration of contraception and HRT influence fibrinolytic system and increaseincidence of thrombotic events .

Hemodialysis is one of the most widely used dialysis procedures.Muscle cramps are the most common complication experienced by hemodialysis patients that usuallydevelop during and in between hemodialysis therapy. These cramps appear to be the most common reasonfor the early termination of the hemodialysis session. Study Design: Pretest-posttest non-blind randomizedcontrolled trial has been used in the present study to evaluate the effectiveness of Intradialytic stretchingexercises on the leg muscle cramps among patients undergoing hemodialysis, from the period of September5th, 2020 to March 22nd, 2021. Study Sample: Non-probability purposive Sample of 60 patients undergoinghemodialysis. The sample is divided randomly into two groups; 30 patients as the study group and theother 30 as the control group. The setting of the study: The study is conducted in Al-Najaf City/Al-NajafAl-Ashraf Health Directorate / Al-Sadder Medical City / The specialized center for kidney diseases andtransplantation / Hemodialysis Unit. Result: The study result signifies that the level of muscle crampsimproved significantly among the study group participants compared with control group.

Abstract

The researchers used the experimental method of experimental design with pre and post-test for oneexperimental group for its suitability to the nature of the research, the research community was identifiedwith young basketball players belonging to the Al-Ghadriyah Sports Club of (16-18) years for the 2020-2021 training season, which totaled 12 players. The research sample was chosen by (7) players representingthe training group, and 5 players were hired for the experiment, the researchers prepared his exercises ina high-intensity interval training method and repetitive training in order to achieve the goal of reachingthe development of endurance and performance of the skill of lay-up shot among the players of the Al-Ghadriyah sports club in basketball in Kerbala. The application of the exercises continued for (8) weeks, inwhich 16 training units were achieved, the total number of training units included exercises in the (Tabata)style (16) units and the number of weekly training units that included exercises in the (Tabata) style (2)units for a period of (8) weeks, the time of exercises in one training unit (11-15) minutes. The intensity usedranges between 90-100 %. Among the most important conclusions reached by the researchers is the presenceof statistically significant differences between the results of the pre and post-tests of the experimental groupin the researched variables, which indicates that the (Tabata) exercises are effective in developing enduranceand performing the skill of lay-up shot of basketball.
