Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of L-carnitine treatment on adult rats that had busulfan-induced oligospermia. In our experiment, we used twenty-one adult male rats, each weighing around 200 g. Three groups of rats were used for the experiments: The first set of subjects, called the control group, had DMSO administered intraperitoneally and 1 mL of pure water gavaged orally once daily. The second group received 20 mg/kg of busulfan (Bus) administered IP once daily along with a daily oral gavage of 1 ml of distilled water. The third set of subjects received a single I.P. of busulfan along with L-carnitine (L-car) and busulfan administered orally. One day after busulfan injection, L-carnitine were administered for a duration of 28 days at 350 mg/kg.bw. After dissecting, the epididymis and testis were meticulously removed and weighed, along with any excess fat and blood. The spermatozoa were taken from the removed caudal epididymis and incubated in PBS medium containing at 37C for 5 minutes, this used for counting and checking abnormalities. MDA and GSH were also estimated in testes tissues by using HPLC. The administration of BU resulted in a substantially testes weight, and relative testes weight (p <.05) as compared to the control group. testes weight, and relative testes weight were all markedly improved with L-carnitine administration as compared to G2. after administering BU, sperm count and motility were significantly lower (p <.05) compared to G1. There was a significant improvement in motility, sperm count, and abnormalities with L-carnitine administration compared to G2. after BU was administered, MDA were considerably higher and GSH significantly lower (p <.05) as compared to G1. The results of measuring oxidative stress indicators were dramatically improved with L-carnitine administration when contrasted with G2. In conclusion, Busulfan may have a negative impact on male fertility if taken alone, but when combined with L-carnitine, the drug's cytotoxic effects can be mitigated, protecting both testis and semen. Highlights: L-carnitine Treatment: Significantly improved testis weight and sperm quality in busulfan-treated rats. Oxidative Stress Reduction: L-carnitine mitigated increased MDA levels and restored GSH in testicular tissue. Fertility Protection: Co-administration of L-carnitine reduced the cytotoxic effects of busulfan on male fertility. Keywords: L-carnitine, busulfan, oligospermia, male fertility, oxidative stress

Abstract

Background: The symptoms of hyperactivity disorder include unpredictable, involuntary, and inappropriate movements that occur due to organic or psychological factors, as well as attention deficit disorder. Hyperactivity disorder is characterised by physical movements that surpass the normal or acceptable limit. Objective: The aim of the present study is to assess the kindergartens teachers knowledge regarding hyperactivity disorders in children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Basrah kindergartens between November 2022 and the start of April 2023. A questionnaire was used to gather data for this study, which involved 60 sample (female) kindergarten instructors. The results were then statistically examined. Results: Sixty percent of the participants in this research were between the ages of 20 and 29. 43.3% possess a diploma in education. Of the participants, 81.7% had not undergone any training courses on hyperactivity condition, and 63.3% have 1–5 years of experience. Conclusion: The study concluded that teachers have adequate knowledge about hyperactivity disorder. Highlights: Hyperactivity disorder causes excessive, involuntary, and inappropriate movements. Assess kindergarten teachers’ knowledge of hyperactivity disorder. Teachers show adequate knowledge, but training is limited. Keywords: Kindergartens, Hyperactivity, Knowledge.

Abstract

Background: One psychological idea frequently connected to treating chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, is self-efficacy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of hypertensive patients to manage their chronic condition and to determine the link between participants' socio-demographic factors and their self-efficacy in controlling hypertension. Methods: A correlational descriptive design was implemented from October 2022 to March 2024. The study sample was purposive (non-probability), consisting of 171 patients with hypertension. Data were gathered via a Google Form, which includes a socio-demographic data section and the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale (SES6C). Results: A modest level of self-efficacy among hypertension patients was statistically validated, including 58% of the study population. Equally important, a statistically significant inverse association exists between participants' age and their self-efficacy in controlling hypertension (r = -.250 at p = 0.01). Furthermore, a statistically significant disparity exists in the self-efficacy of hypertension management across gender groups (p-value = .041), age categories (p-value = .000), reading groups (p-value = .032), marital status categories (p-value = .000), follow-up groups (p-value = .000), and exercise groups (p-value = .000). Conclusion: The study's findings indicate a statistically significant difference and link between socio-demographic variables and self-efficacy in treating hypertension. This indicates that self-efficacy in controlling hypertension is a multifaceted notion, and a singular component cannot dictate its trajectory. It is, instead, a result of the interplay of various elements, such as age, gender, experience, and education. Highlights: Assess socio-demographic factors' impact on self-efficacy in hypertension management. Correlational design with 171 hypertensive patients via SES6C scale. Self-efficacy in hypertension control is influenced by diverse socio-demographic factors. Keywords: Self-Efficacy, Hypertension, Chronic Disease, Capacity, Patients

Abstract

The incidence of VTE varies across countries, with Eastern regions generally reporting lower rates. In pregnancy, a combination of intrinsic factors, such as hormonal changes, increased blood clotting tendency, and genetic predispo-sitions, along with environmental factors like lifestyle and healthcare access, can trigger VTE through various, often overlapping mechanisms. The precise role of certain risk factors and their interactions during pregnancy remains un-clear and warrants further study. Ongoing research into pregnancy-related VTE is crucial due to the considerable number of idiopathic cases and the need to refine risk stratification methods. Understanding how different risk factors interact during pregnancy can lead to more effective prevention strategies and targeted treatments. As new risk factors are identified, they may help clarify the underlying mechanisms of VTE in pregnancy, particularly in cases where the cause is unknown. Additionally, improving risk stratification not only helps prevent the initial occurrence of VTE in pregnant women but also plays a vital role in reducing the likelihood of recurrence, ultimately leading to better out-comes for both the mother and the child, as well as more efficient use of healthcare resources. Highlights: VTE in Pregnancy: Hormonal, genetic, and environmental factors contribute. Research Needs: Clarify interactions, refine risk stratification, prevent idiopathic cases. Outcomes: Better maternal-child health, reduced recurrence, efficient healthcare use. Keywords: Venous thrombosis, Thrombosis, Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis, Coagulation, pregnancy.

Abstract

Hypoxia is a state in which sufficient oxygen is not available at the tissue level, a condition that leads to hypoxemia. Mast cells (MCs) are tissue resident cells that are widely distributed in vascularized tissues such as airways and gastrointestinal tract. Previously, studies have established the effect of pre-treatment of MCs with Sodium Cromoglicate (SCG) inhibitor in lung tissues of SD rats. Thus, due to the complexity and less understanding of the cell structure of lung tissues, and in order to understand the changes of MCs under hypoxia, RBL-2H3 were utilized in an experimental in-vitro study that aimed to evaluate the transcriptomic and metabolomic variations of these cells under hypoxic conditions and after pre-treatment with SCG. Differential expression analysis identified 25 genes as differentially expressed between HSCG vs HC group. On KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, Arachidonic acid metabolism, glutathione metabolism and AMPK pathway were among the enriched pathways in the HSCG vs HC group. A total of 1,513 metabolites were identified. These metabolites were amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and others. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis revealed that in the HSCG_vs_HC group, Glutathione, Val-Val, Arg-Glu, Pro-Glu and 1-Stearoyl-rac-glycerol were upregulated whereas, Cytidine, Hypoxanthine, Histamine and Pro-Asp were decreased. In conclusion, our study findings reveal that SCG impacts on cell mechanisms under hypoxic conditions.

Abstract

A viral illness impacting children and young adults, it commences gradually and the infection can be minor. A significant proportion of patients progress to the acute stage of the infection. The condition progresses in the acute phase to encephalitis, myocarditis, pneumonia, and ocular complications in severe instances. The monkeypox viral infection constitutes a significant global public health issue. The nation carries the highest burden of monkeypox infections internationally and will significantly contribute to the eradication of this disease worldwide. Despite the country's significant advancements in mitigating monkeypox virus infections in prior years, Iraq currently encounters obstacles in its objective to diminish the fatality and morbidity rates associated with monkeypox. In alignment with the WHO global health sector policy on monkeypox, we emphasise additional priority for action to eradicate this virus in Iraq, aiming to accomplish the objective of lowering death, and we recommend prioritising service coverage targets for diagnosis and treatment. Initially, it is essential to enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of medical facilities and healthcare professionals. Secondly, the government must alleviate the financial strain of healthcare on patients. Third, improved coordination of current national initiatives and resources is essential to create an integrated prevention and control system encompassing the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV infection and monkeypox across the life cycle. Thus, advancement can be achieved in the objective of eradicating monkeypox in Iraq. Highlights: Gradual onset illness affecting children, causing severe complications in acute stage. Iraq faces challenges in reducing monkeypox fatality and morbidity rates. Focus: Enhance healthcare, ease costs, and improve prevention coordination. Keywords: Mpox, Health problem, Infection, Diagnosis and treatment.
