Abstract

Thalassemia is a hereditary condition that results in the creation of defective haemoglobin molecules. Patients are diagnosed with thalassemia major after exhibiting severe clinical symptoms and profound anaemia. This study aims to investigate the major thalassemia and psychosocial aspects of it, which is a critical issue, in order to serve as a road map for better treating these patients and contribute to the literature. This study used narrative review as its method. Between 2018 and 2023, a literature review was undertaken by searching materials published in databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and the Google Scholar search engine. Additionally, the WHO website was searched. Thalassemia major harms the heart, liver, lungs, and endocrine organs due to anaemia and iron buildup. Furthermore, the patient could experience. Mental and social issues arise as a result of the disease's congenital aetiology and lifelong duration. Thalassemia patients face significant emotional challenges as well as therapeutic burden. There are numerous research on the prevalence and physical implications of thalassemia. However, there are insufficient papers and studies documenting the psychosocial impacts of thalassemia on patients and what may be done to mitigate these effects. As a result, this research focuses on the process of thalassemia and the psychosocial problems it causes in order to contribute to the literature and provide a road map for better managing these individuals

Abstract

Folate, also referred to as Vitamin B9, is a type of vitamin that dissolves in water and plays a central role in preserving the integrity of DNA molecules and gene expression through the construction of DNA and methylation. Folate cannot be synthesised in vivo and must be obtained from the diet, particularly fruits and green leafy vegetables. deficiency of folate increases the risk of DNA stability due to uracil misincorporation into the DNA backbone and chromosome breaks, it can lead to the accumulation of deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) which impairs the pathway of dTMP synthesis. in addition, it reduces the availability of methyl donors which causes impaired methylation patterns. Finally, it can generate oxidative stress leading to mtDNA damage and eventually to genomic instability. Different studies and measurement methods have produced varying evidence on the connection between folate and DNA stability, So we encourage to increase in folic acid intake for at-risk groups, but more rigorous human studies are needed before scientifically based public health recommendations about dietary requirements can be made.

Abstract

Background: Acute Appendicitis is the most common cause of emergency cases worldwide, and it may have serious consequences. If there is no precise diagnosis, it poses a dreadful issue for the community. Researchers tried to use several markers to determine the definitive diagnosis of Appendicitis. Our research thus sought to determine the various Toll-like receptor TLR1, TLR4, and TLR5 concentrations in the blood of patients suspected of Appendicitis as a diagnostic predictor. Method: This study conducted a case-control analysis on patients diagnosed with Appendicitis in the operating room at Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital and Al-Shifaa Teaching Hospital in Basra, Iraq. The control group was randomly chosen between July 2023 and November 2023. a total of 88 samples were enrolled in the study. Seventy of these samples came from patients experiencing signs and symptoms of Appendicitis. In contrast, the remaining eighteen samples were collected from apparently healthy controls (AHC) who were identical to the patient's group in terms of age, gender, habitat, and other characteristics but did not experience any appendicitis symptoms. Ethical approval was obtained from the Basra Health Department for data collection. Results: According to the findings of this investigation, the immunological markers TLR1 and TLR4 were statistically significant at a level of (P≤0.05) between the serum samples of patients and the control groups. the median concentration of (TLR1 and TLR4) were (14.70 ,10.89 ng/ml) respectively than control group (8.15 ,6.98 ng/ml), statistically show highly significant (P-= 0.000), while the median concentration of TLR5 in appendicitis patients was lower (3.11 ng/ml) than control (3.77 ng\ml), without any significant differences (p=0.185). Conclusion: The serum concentration of TLR1 and TLR4 has the potential to predict the diagnosis of appendicitis.

Abstract

Epigenetic modifications is very crucial in managing on/off switch of the genes, and the kind of cell that is being built. The specific goals of this study are to identify the role of histone modifications, DNA methylation, and their interaction with each other on gene expression according to the ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, and bisulfite sequencing results. Therefore, in order to offer wide and profound analysis we went to specify the strains for regulatory components, to describe the molecular events, and to contemplate concerning potential clinical utility. Typically, for ChIP-Seq analysis, the number of histone modification peaks varies between 5,000-10,000 per sample, which is the comparison to the input control With regards to the genomic location of these peaks 60-70% of these are in promoter regions, while 20-30% of these are in enhancers. Described variation in RNA-Seq brought about 1000–3000 DE genes per condition; in the compared conditions, the difference generally ranged from 2 to 10 folds. Specifically, 500-1500 of them had different methylation between the control and the patient group with different methylation variations; 20%-60%. Thus, the integration of these datasets demonstrated that there exists significant relationships between histone modification and gene expression level, with the former ment for active modification leading to up-regulation of genes and the latter for repressive modification leading to down- regulation of genes. Besides, the report determined that hypomethylation of promoters of genes led to overexpression whereas hypermethylation of promoters of genes l led to underexpression. The functional enrichment of the genes with the epigenetic changes revealed mostly the cell cycle and signal transduction based on the Gene Ontology.

Abstract

Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) continue as a substantial public health issue in evolving nations, with pediatric population’s presence particularly susceptible. This study examines the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium parvum among children in Kut, Iraq, using both conventional microscopy and Multiplex PCR methodologies. A total of 257 stool specimens were procured from children aged 0 to 14 years crossways various hospitals and healthcare institutions. The specimens underwent an initial macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, subsequently followed by DNA extraction and examination by Multiplex PCR to supplement the detection capabilities for parasitic pathogens. The collective infection rate was determined to be 42.41%, with a larger prevalence experiential in females (49.24%) when compared with males (35.20%). Age-group analysis indicated that children aged 12 to 14 years showed the highest infection rate (60.00%), while the lowest prevalence was renowned in children under three years of age (37.50%). A proportional analysis between urban and rural environments revealed a heightened infection prevalence in rural locales (55.17% vs. 41.18%). The diagnostic efficiency of microscopy and Multiplex PCR confirmed considerable concordance, with Pearson correlation coefficients above 0.99 for all three parasites, so representative a healthy contract between the two diagnostic approaches. Nevertheless, Multiplex PCR shown a slightly superior detection rate for Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium parvum. These results emphasize the authoritative for the addition of molecular diagnostic practices into standard clinical repetition to improve the sensitivity and accurateness of IPI detection, particularly within resource-constrained environments.

Abstract

General Background: Emotional Burnout Syndrome (EBS) has emerged as a significant concern within healthcare professions, affecting the mental health and performance of medical practitioners. Specific Background: While various studies have examined EBS, there remains a lack of comprehensive analysis focused on the influence of demographic factors such as age and gender among doctors in diverse specialties. Knowledge Gap: Existing literature inadequately addresses the specific characteristics of EBS development across different age groups and professional roles, highlighting the need for targeted research in this area. Aims: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and developmental characteristics of EBS among doctors, with particular attention to variations by age and gender. Results: The findings indicate that female doctors aged 24 to 34 experience significantly higher overall stress levels compared to their male counterparts. Furthermore, women aged 46 to 55 demonstrated a pronounced resistance phase to stress. A weak direct correlation (p<0.05) was identified between the emergence of this resistance phase and the overall age of symptom development. Notably, over half of the respondents exhibited a resistance phase, while nearly 20% reported signs of stress and burnout. Oncologists and psychiatrists were found to have the highest prevalence of EBS. Novelty: This research provides new insights into the demographic factors influencing EBS, emphasizing the unique experiences of female medical practitioners and highlighting the specialties most affected. Implications: The findings underscore the necessity for healthcare institutions to implement targeted interventions to address EBS, particularly for vulnerable groups, thereby promoting the mental well-being of medical professionals and enhancing overall healthcare delivery.
