Abstract

Background: The HCV the objectives of this study were to estimate the incidence of HCV infection (anti-HCV antibodies) in Iraq. Methodology: The criteria for diagnosis of HCV infection included new seroconversion manifested by the presence of positive HCV antibodies by screening tests and ascertained this result by confirmatory assays in the year 2018. The patients with HCV positive seroconversion recorded before 2018 are excluded from HCV incidence in 2018. The primarily positive cases were tested by anti-HCV antibodies confirmatory test prior to recording as new HCV infected cases. A sample size of 97,290 persons from the all 18 Iraqi governorates was enrolled in this study. Results: Among 97,290 persons screened for HCV antibodies, 576 new HCV infections were recorded as newly infected with incidence rate of 5.9:1000 among all Iraqi governorates in 2018. The highest incidence was reported in Baghdad-Resafa, Diwaniya, and Sulaymaniyah, and they were 15.2:1000, 13.7:1000, and 13.2:1000 respectively; the lowest incidence rates were registered in Erbil, Diyala, and Najaf and the results were zero, 0.32, and 0.53 respectively. In all Iraqi governorates, the highest incidence of HCV infection was at the age group 15–45 years and the lowest was in age group 1-4 years. For the total 576 new HCV recorded infections, 296 were males and 280 were females, with male to female ratio of 1:1.1. Conclusion: The incidence rate of HCV infection is high among people screened for anti-HCV Abs in Iraq in the year 2018 especially in Baghdad-Resafa, nearly both genders are equally affected and HCV infection is mostly recorded in age group 15-45 years. The HCV screening program should be achieved in all regions of Iraq and for all the required population groups, and it should be a compulsory measure.

Abstract

Sarcocystis diseases caused a serious illness in sheep flock which inducing decrease of growth conversion rates and complete or partial loss of carcasses at the abattoirs, This article which described an prevalence of parasites Sarcocystis gigantea in sheep slaughtered in a farm in kerbala governerate, Iraq, and performed a phylogenetic analysis by using the Euclidean distances calculation from the Sarcosystis gigntea nucleotide frequencies around the world sarcosystis genomes. Fifty sheep showed multiple nodules in the esophagus that were microscopically characterized as encapsulated cysts filled with elongated, nucleated structures morphologically consistent with S. gigantea bradyzoites. The preverlance and species of Sarcocystis gigantia were revealed as 10% (5 out f 50) for the macroscopic sarcosystis , the shape of these cysts were resembled to oval and pear shape, the sensitivity of Polymerase chain reaction was 75% with 95% of confidence intervals 19.41% to 99.37% and the specificity was 95.65% with 95% of confidence intervals 85.16% to 99.47%. Our results suggest that oligonucleotide sequences were useful for estimation of Sarcocystis gigntea phylogenetic relationships for closely related species.

Abstract

Purpose: Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone among perio-pathogengenic bacteria to initiate periodontitis and treatment is better when the periodontal pathogens including Porphyromonas gingivalis are totally eliminated. The essential oil of Thymus vulgaris has many bioactive constituents having antimicrobial activity against many bacteria. This study investigates the antibacterial effect of this extracts against Porphyromonas gingivalis. Methods: Sub gingival plaque samples were collected from individuals having periodontitis with the probing pocket depth of at least 6mm; Conventional microbiological tests and molecular technique used for confirmation of Porphyromonas gingivalis, hydrodistillation method was used for extraction of essential oil. Antibacterial activity of the extract against Porphyromonas gingivalis has been determined by using two fold serial dilution method to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Result: the essential oil extracted from Thymus vulgaris demonstrated antimicrobial effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis growth. Conclusion:The extract was able to demonstrate inhibitory and bactericidal activity against Porphyromonas gingivalis. Further studies should focus on the use of Thymus vulgaris essential oil in the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder, characterized by a higher level of blood glucose resulted from either abnormality in insulin production (type1 DM) or resistance to insulin action (type 2 DM) or both. Long lasting elevated blood glucose is responsible for chronic damage, defect in function and impairment of various organs including salivary glands. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are cellular enzymes found in all animal tissues. Aims of the Study: to estimate and compare the levels of salivary and serum AST and ALT between un controlled diabetic patients and normal control people. Subjects, Materials and Method: The study comprised 90 adults of both gender. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 30 patients with type 1 diabetics (D1), 30 patients with type 2 diabetics (D2) and 30 healthy persons as a control group (C). Serum and un stimulated salivary samples were taking for the AST, ALT evaluating using standard spectrophotometer kits. The level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured using NycoCard kit to exclude the controlled diabetic patients. Data were analyzed using statistical analysis SPSS version 24. Results: The results showed a significant increase of salivary enzymes in D1 and D2 compared to salivary enzymes of control group, while there was no significant difference in serum enzymes value among all studied groups. Conclusions: An elevation in salivary AST and ALT in both types of diabetes compared to healthy group, with higher salivary level of AST and ALT in D1 compared to D2 and to healthy control group. This may suggest that autoimmunological activity in D1 responsible for more salivary gland injury in D1 group.

Abstract

Background: Previous studies of patients with spinal anesthesia prior to sympathectomy revealed that vasodilatation and hypotension, with subsequent reduction in arterial pressure, were the most common side effects (observed in more than 30% of patients). Hypotension in epidural anesthesia was stated to be more gradual and less extreme than in spinal anesthesia when a comparable amount of anesthesia was given. Aim of the study: In the current study, we are aiming to evaluate the effect of different size of spinal needle on development of possible blood pressure changes throughout the spinal anesthesia procedure. Patients and Methods: The current observational case reference study was carried out at Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital in Al-Diwaniyah Province, Iraq. The beginning of the study is dated back to the 3rd of April 2018 and the study continued till September the 15th 2019. It included 60 patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for various surgical operations. In 30 patients a spinal needle of 22 gauge was used whereas in the second group (n = 30), a spinal needle of gauge 24 was used. All patients were instructed to be nil by mouth overnight. Results: In group 1 (22G), mean systolic blood pressure showed gradual reduction, 139.00 ±8.35 mmHG, 120.67 ±11.43 mmHg, 106.00 ±11.02 mmHG and 97.33 ±10.15 mmHg; similarly, in group 2 (24G) mean systolic blood pressure showed gradual reduction, 144.00 ±10.37 mmHG, 138.00 ± 7.61 mmHg, 131.33 ±9.00 mmHG and 131.67 ±11.40 mmHg; however, the rate of reduction in group 2 (G24) was less than that seen in case of group 1 (G22). In group 1 (22G), mean diastolic blood pressure showed gradual reduction, 84.00 ±7.24 mmHG, 72.00 ±6.64 mmHg, 61.33 ±9.73 mmHG and 54.00 ±8.94 mmHg; similarly, in group 2 (24G) mean diastolic blood pressure showed gradual reduction, 87.33 ±7.85 mmHG, 81.33 ±7.30 mmHg, 77.33 ±10.15 mmHG and 78.00 ±5.51 mmHg; however, the rate of reduction in group 2 (G24) was less than that seen in case of group 1 (G22). Conclusion: It appears that the use of narrower spinal needle is recommended as it is associated with significantly less drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, thus less hemodynamic disturbances in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for various indications

Abstract

Background: Eye care in intensive care units is crucial to avoid eye problems associated with infections, use of medications, effect of mechanical ventilators, and patient position. Indeed, there is no specific guideline or protocols use in eye care in Iraqi intensive care units, so the study focused on nurses to assess their knowledge regarding evidence-based practice toward eye care. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess nurses’ knowledge regarding evidence-based practice toward eye care in intensive care units, and to find out relationships between their demographics and total knowledge. Method: A descriptive study using a purposive sample (non-probability) was used to survey 30 nurses who met the sampling criteria in two teaching hospitals in the south of Iraq to assess their knowledge regarding eye care. A valid and reliable tool was used after getting the permission from the copyright holder. Results: More than one-third of study sample were (22-26) years old they account (40%). Majority of them were male (56.7%), and (53.3%) of the study sample had bachelor’s degree in nursing. Regarding years of experience half of the study sample had more than five years of experience in intensive care units. Majority of the study sample (63.3%) has no participation in training courses about eye care and (83.3%) was day shift of work. The total mean of score of nurses’ knowledge was poor (0.33). Conclusion: There is a need to conduct training courses for nurses who work in intensive care units about eye care based on standard as the results in this study indicated that there is a significance association between, nurses’ knowledge and participation in training course, about eye care.
