Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a very frequent chronic condition globally, presenting a substantial health issue due to its severe effects on several body processes and its correlation with different consequences. Among these problems, onychomycosis, or fungal nail infections, is a prevalent yet sometimes disregarded illness that can substantially impact patients' quality of life and general health. Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the nail structure, resulting in discoloration, thickness, and occasionally total loss of the nail. The likelihood of getting onychomycosis is significantly increased in diabetic individuals due to weakened immune response, poor circulation, and consistently high blood glucose levels, which provide an optimal environment for fungal proliferation. This review seeks to examine the complex link between diabetes mellitus and onychomycosis, emphasizing the underlying processes, risk factors, and clinical consequences of this interaction. Moreover, it underscores the significance of prompt identification and efficient therapy options to alleviate the effects of this illness and enhance patient outcomes. Highlights: Diabetics risk infection — 3× higher onychomycosis, ulcers, amputations risk. PAS stain best — 92% sensitivity, superior to culture and KOH. Combo therapy works — Oral terbinafine + topical boosts cure rates. Keywords: Onychomycosis, Diabetes, Antifungal Treatment, Diagnosis, Complications

Abstract

Background: The global rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria presents a significant threat to public health, necessitating alternative antimicrobial strategies. Specific Background: Nanoparticles such as silver (AgNPs), zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs), and copper oxide (CuO-NPs) have emerged as promising agents due to their broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Knowledge Gap: However, comparative data on their efficacy across different resistance levels and their underlying mechanisms, particularly oxidative stress induction, remain limited. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of AgNPs, ZnO-NPs, and CuO-NPs against 150 bacterial isolates categorized into high-, moderate-, and non-resistant bacteria (HRB, MRB, NRB). Results: AgNPs exhibited the highest overall antibacterial activity, with the greatest average zone of inhibition (26.28 mm for MRB) and the lowest MIC/MBC values (7.89 µg/mL for NRB). CuO-NPs produced the highest reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting a distinct mechanism of oxidative damage, while ZnO-NPs showed moderate effectiveness. Statistical analyses (ANOVA, Tukey HSD, Pearson’s r) confirmed significant differences among nanoparticles and a strong correlation between ROS generation and bacterial inhibition for CuO-NPs. Novelty: This is among the few studies providing a comprehensive comparison of these nanoparticles across graded resistance levels. Implications: The findings highlight AgNPs' potential in combating resistant bacteria and underscore the need for further research on their long-term safety and integration into antimicrobial therapies.Highlight : AgNPs most effective: Silver nanoparticles showed the highest antibacterial activity across all resistance levels (HRB, MRB, NRB). ROS production matters: CuO-NPs generated the most reactive oxygen species, contributing to bacterial cell damage. Dual mechanisms: Nanoparticles act via oxidative stress and membrane disruption, enhancing their antibacterial potency. Keywords : Nanotechnology, Bacterial Infection, Resistant Bacteria, MRSA

Abstract

Background: Continuous exposure to pollutants from diesel generators may cause numerous health problems. The current study aimed to determine the effects of diesel generators on workers by examining hematological and biochemical parameters. Methods: The current study was conducted on diesel generator workers in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate. The study consisted of approximately (50) individuals divided into two groups: the first group (25) workers, and the second group (25) healthy individuals (as a control group). The parameters studied included blood parameters (red blood cells, hemoglobin, and pneumococcal size), as well as biochemical tests, including liver function tests (AST, ALT, and ALP), and kidney function tests, including (urea, creatinine, and total protein). Results: The results indicated significant changes (P<0.05) in biochemical parameters. There was a significant increase (P<0.05) in red blood cell count, hemoglobin, pneumococcal volume, liver function tests (ALT, ALP, AST), urea-creatinine, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. The study results also showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in total protein concentration in generator workers when compared to the healthy group. Conclusion: Direct exposure to pollutants by generator workers may lead to changes in their blood and biochemical parameters because it targets important sites in the body, especially the bone marrow, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Highlights: Diesel generator workers exhibit significant alterations in hematological and biochemical parameters compared to the control group. Exposure to generator pollutants increases red blood cell count, liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP), and kidney markers (urea, creatinine). Reduced total protein levels highlight the adverse effects of prolonged pollutant exposure on overall health. Keywords : Study, Hematological, Biochemical Parameters, Diesel Generator, Al-Diwaniyah
