Abstract

Four hundred and twenty cattle belonging to different breed and age groups were investigated for infestation by ticks during the period from October 2018 to September 2019 in Basrah governorate, Iraq . Investigated cattle were found to be infested by four species of hard ticks namely (Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum, Hyalomma marginatum turanicum Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus, Rhipicephalu sturanicus) .No significant difference in infestation rate was observed according to the method of cattle raising (X²=0.455, p=0.500),however, seasonal variation in infestation with significant difference was found , higher infestation rate reported in June ( 63.3%) and the lowest was in January (20%) (X² =76.740 ,p = 0.05). In the meantime blood smears samples from the same cattle were also examined by microscopy for hemoprotozoan pathogens .The examination revealed that those cattle are infected by Babesia spp. (27.14%) and Theileria spp.(19.52%). No, significant difference in infection rate was found between male and females, but a significant variation was seen among age groups, however, age group 1-3 years revealed a high rate of infection .Seasonal variation in the infection rates were observed in infected cattle. Higher infection rates of Babesiosis and Theileriosis reported in June (50%) and (36.7%) respectively.

Abstract

Semen samples of 60 sub fertile men that aged from 25 and 45 years that attending an Al-Sammrai infertility hospital from10-10-2017 to 5-12-2018 and were examined for bacteriological culture. The patients divide to negative group (A) the second as positive group (B). Semen were chaked from the groups and analyzed for viscosity, sperm morphology, semen volume, sperm concentration, and motility percent. The results for cultures was negative in 15% and positive in 85% of patients. The isolated organisms were as the following percentage ( Escherichia coli 11%, Staph. aureus (16%), B-hemolytic streptococcus 30%, Staphylococcus epidermidis 43 %). The semen characteristics in infected samples showed that the motility and viability of spermatozoa were lower when compared to noninfected semen sample. That are means, the infections have a direct effect on seminal fluid quality and subsequently negative effects on human fertility. The results showed that there are a highly significant difference (p?0.001) between fertility power in noninfected men and infected cases.

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of preheating on the surface microhardness of different commercially available composite resins (G-aenial, Filtek Z350 and Tetric-N-Ceram). Materials and Methods: Tubes of the composite resins were either kept at room temperature (24 ±10 C) or preheated for 40 min in a commercially preheating device to 40 0 C, 50 0 C and 60 0C, respectively. From composite resin tubes, a total of 120 disk-shaped specimens (40 specimens of each composite resin, 10 disks from each temperature setting) were prepared by inserting uncured preheated composite resin into cylindrical nylon moulds (5 mm diameter × 2 mm height); before light polymerized for 40s with a light emitting diode curing unit. The Vicker’s microhardness number (VHN) of each specimen was measured. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey test were used to analyze the collected data at a significance level of 0.05. Results: In comparison to the room temperature, there was a significant increase in the mean VHNs of each composite resin by preheating to 40 0C, 50 0 C and 60 0 C, respectively (p<0.05). For G-aenial posterior, Filtek Z350XT and Tetric-N-Ceram, at room temperature, the mean VHNs were 51± 4.3, 60.6± 3.7 and 76.6±1.4, respectively with significant difference between G-aenial posterior and Tetric-N-Ceram (p<0.05), while at 400C, the mean VHNs were 65.7±2.5, 86.8±2.3 and 88.4±1.8, respectively with significant differences (p<0.05) between G-aenial posterior and the other two composites. At 500C, the mean VHNs were 109.4±0.9, 104.4±3.4 and 114±0.71, respectively with no significant difference between composite resins. At 600C, the mean VHNs were 122±3.2, 129±3.4 and 136±2, respectively with significant difference between G-aenial posterior and Tetric-N-Ceram (p<0.05). Conclusions: Preheating significantly increased the surface microhardness of all tested composite resins with the highest value observed for Tetric N-Ceram at 600C preheating temperature.
