Abstract

Background: Ovarian stimulation is pivotal in assisted reproductive technologies, yet its systemic hormonal effects—particularly on thyroid function—remain underexplored. Specific Background: Estrogen-induced increases in thyroxine-binding globulin and the structural mimicry between hCG and TSH suggest a complex thyroid-ovarian interaction. Knowledge Gap: Prior studies yield conflicting evidence on thyroid hormone alterations during stimulation, with limited attention to regimen-specific effects and longitudinal dynamics in thyroid-naïve women. Aim: This study investigates the temporal impact of distinct ovarian stimulation protocols—Clomid, Pergonal, and their combination—on thyroid hormone levels in euthyroid infertile women. Results: A significant elevation in TSH and reduction in T3/T4 was observed as early as month one in the combination group, month two in the Pergonal group, and month three in the Clomid group (P<0.05). Novelty: This study delineates protocol- and time-dependent thyroid disturbances, offering mechanistic clarity on drug-specific endocrine crosstalk. Implications: Findings support tailored thyroid monitoring during ART and propose a stratified approach based on stimulation regimen and exposure duration to prevent potential subclinical hypothyroidism and optimize fertility outcomes.Highlights: Combination therapy (Clomid + Pergonal) caused the earliest and most significant thyroid disruption-elevated TSH and decreased T3/T4 from Month 1. Thyroid dysfunction varied by stimulation protocol: Clomid-only showed delayed effects (Month 3), while Pergonal-only effects began in Month 2. Clinical recommendation: Thyroid monitoring is crucial during ovarian stimulation, especially with combination regimens. Keywords: Ovarian Stimulation, Clomiphene Citrate, Pergonal, Thyroid hormones, Infertility

Abstract

Analgesics are widely used to relieve pain during pregnancy; however, their safety remains a concern due to potential maternal and fetal risks. In Basra, Iraq, pregnant women frequently use analgesics such as paracetamol and NSAIDs, yet limited data exist regarding their prevalence, types, and associated factors in this population. Despite global studies on medication safety, there is insufficient evidence on the patterns of analgesic use among Iraqi pregnant women and their knowledge regarding associated risks. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, types, and influencing factors of analgesic use among pregnant women attending Maternal and Child Health units, and to assess the association between analgesic use and demographic characteristics. A cross-sectional study of 200 pregnant women revealed that 60% reported using analgesics during pregnancy. Paracetamol was the most frequently used (46%), primarily for symptoms of the common cold (27%). While 41% of women believed analgesics were safe, 32% perceived potential risks, and 23% demonstrated limited awareness. The majority obtained information from drug leaflets (45%). No significant associations were found between analgesic use and demographic variables (p > 0.05). This study provides the first structured evaluation of analgesic use among pregnant women in Basra, highlighting gaps in knowledge and perceptions of drug safety. The findings underscore the need for targeted educational programs and strengthened counseling by healthcare providers to promote safe and rational analgesic use during pregnancy. Highlights: 60% of pregnant women reported using analgesics during pregnancy. Paracetamol was the most frequently used analgesic, mainly for common cold symptoms. Knowledge about safe use of analgesics during pregnancy was generally poor, with drug leaflets being the main information source.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide, with over 150 million cases annually, causing significant health and economic burdens. Cephalosporins, a class of β-lactam antibiotics, are widely prescribed for UTIs due to their broad-spectrum activity and low toxicity; however, increasing resistance limits their effectiveness. Despite their extensive use, little is known about the prevalence of resistance mechanisms such as biofilm formation and β-lactamase production in UTI pathogens against different generations of cephalosporins in Baghdad. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 14 cephalosporin antibiotics against UTI-causing bacteria, with particular focus on resistance rates, biofilm formation, and β-lactamase enzyme production. From 140 bacterial isolates, Escherichia coli was the predominant pathogen (82.14%), with infections occurring more frequently in females (84.95%). Resistance to cephalosporins was high (68.5%), particularly against second-generation cefuroxime (97.8%), whereas cefepime, a fourth-generation antibiotic, showed the highest sensitivity (30%). Biofilm production was detected in 62.2% of isolates, while β-lactamase production was observed in 63.5%, both contributing to multidrug resistance. This research provides the first comprehensive evaluation of cephalosporin efficacy against UTI pathogens in Baghdad, combining antimicrobial susceptibility testing with virulence factor analysis. The findings highlight the urgent need for continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance, rational prescription practices, and consideration of advanced-generation cephalosporins or alternative therapies to manage UTIs effectively. Highlights: Escherichia coli accounted for 82.14% of UTI cases, with infections significantly higher in females (84.95%) than males. Bacterial isolates showed a high resistance rate of 68.5% to cephalosporin antibiotics, with the highest resistance to cefuroxime (97.8%). Virulence factors were prominent, with 62.2% of isolates forming biofilms and 63.5% producing β-lactamase enzymes.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that leads to the destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth. Two of its key clinical features are bleeding on probing (BOP) and tooth mobility, often reflective of underlying tissue breakdown. The aims of this study were to investigate the correlation between bleeding on probing and pathological tooth movement in patients with varying stages of periodontal disease, and to assess their diagnostic and prognostic significance. This cross-sectional study included 120 adult patients who underwent comprehensive periodontal examination. Parameters assessed included BOP, and tooth mobility. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate associations between BOP and pathological tooth movement. BOP was detected in 78.5% of patients, with a higher prevalence in the posterior sextants. Tooth mobility (Grade 2 or higher) was observed in 31.6% of the sample, predominantly in the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. A statistically significant correlation was found between BOP and pathological tooth movement (p < 0.01), with generalized BOP increasing the likelihood of tooth mobility by nearly fourfold (OR = 3.8). The presence of BOP is significantly associated with pathological tooth mobility, underlining its importance as a predictive marker in periodontal assessment. Early identification and intervention at sites with BOP may help prevent progressive tooth loss. Highlights: Iraqi Cardaria daraba L. contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and saponins with notable antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 2.96 mg/ml). HPLC analysis revealed high levels of vitamin C (42.8 mg/ml) and vitamin A (49.8 mg/ml) in the plant extract. AAS and FESEM-EDS analyses confirmed the presence of essential elements such as Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, Se, and Sr, supporting its medicinal potential.

Abstract

Orthodontic treatment also aims to maintain ideal periodontal health. Gingival/periodontal conditions and orthodontic interventions have a complicated relationship because orthodontic forces invariably affect periodontal structures. The aims of this study were to investigate the plaque, and gingival index, before and during orthodontic treatment. In order to fully evaluate the periodontal health of orthodontic patients, a study spanning six months was carried out of 100 adult permanent dentition subjects were included in the sample. Participants were recruited from a specialized orthodontic clinic, and OPI, and OGI were assessed at multiple time points: baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post-treatment initiation. The study found that there were significant increasing in orthodontic plaque index, and orthodontic gingival index before orthodontic appliance insertion and over 6 months of post treatment. This study highlights the significant impact of orthodontic appliances on both gingival health and plaque accumulation. The increase in the Orthodontic Gingival Index and Orthodontic Plaque Index during treatment emphasizes the need for effective oral hygiene strategies for patients undergoing orthodontic therapy. Future research should focus on developing innovative methods to help orthodontic patients improve their oral hygiene practices and prevent gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation. Highlights: Orthodontic treatment led to significant increases in gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation over six months. Both Orthodontic Gingival Index (OGI) and Orthodontic Plaque Index (OPI) showed steady rises from baseline to 6 months. Findings emphasize the need for strict oral hygiene strategies during orthodontic therapy to prevent periodontal complications.
