Abstract

Objective:  There are many different species that nanoparticles can suppress, such as bacteria, algae, fungus, archaea, and a vast class of viruses. Method: The method of action involves preventing the creation of the cell membrane or its function, interfering with energy transmission, generating harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), and preventing or lowering the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Results: Numerous nanomaterials, including those based on silicon, carbon, and metals, as well as nanoarchitectures, have been effectively employed to combat various viruses. The solid-state activity of these nanoarchitecture-based virucidal materials (also known as nano-antivirals) has been firmly supported by recent research. The development of many items, including high-touch surfaces and fabric, benefits greatly from their use. Novelty: The development of scalable and sustainable nano-antiviral products with contact-killing capabilities is recommended in this study, which carefully and critically evaluates current developments in the use of nanomaterials to block the effectiveness of Rotavirus, one of the enteroviruses that kill children.

Abstract

Objective: Salivary diseases of the gland develop a heterogeneous pathological range of inflammatory, benign, and malignant diseases and require accurate diagnostic assessment and informed management, with this work aimed to assess reliable FNAC as well as identify the pitfalls, and determine how the informed use of morphological, molecular, and statistical analysis would benefit in characterizing salivary gland lesions on a specific population. Method: Advances in fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), histopathology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and molecular profiling have refined classification, especially in the revised World Health Organization (WHO) system that has introduced genetic characterization, and through the synergistic representation of FNAC, histopathology, IHC, and microstructural analyses with powerful patterns of statistics, the study applies a multi-faceted method that deals with the reliability of diagnosis and the characterization of lesions in the population-based scenario. Result: The outcome was that FNAC had very high sensitivity and specificity rates in the majority of lesions with certain pitfalls being cystic portions of tumors, but the molecular profiling increased classification and prognostic performance, which enhanced morphological and cytological data. Novelty: These results contribute to the importance of FNAC combined with molecular and histopathological analysis to reduce potential diagnostic errors, improve clinical description of the WHO-based disease categories, and outline specific management procedures, paving the way to future population-oriented studies of the molecular phenotypes of oral pathology.

Abstract

Objective: To assess knowledge, perceived barriers, and willingness toward influenza vaccination among undergraduate students at the University of Kufa, Iraq, to inform targeted health promotion strategies. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from February to March 2025 with 94 convenience-sampled undergraduate students from five colleges at the University of Kufa. Data were collected using a validated 32-item questionnaire assessing demographics, influenza vaccine knowledge, barriers, and willingness. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and correlation tests using SPSS. Results: Participants demonstrated moderate knowledge levels: 60.64% had fair knowledge and 39.36% good knowledge regarding influenza vaccination. Most (64.89%) perceived moderate barriers, including misperceptions about vaccine safety, fear of side effects, and accessibility challenges. Willingness to vaccinate was moderate in 58.51% but poor in 38.30% of students. Correlation analysis showed no significant relationships between knowledge, barriers, and willingness, indicating complex factors influencing vaccine acceptance beyond knowledge alone. Novelty: The findings reveal moderate awareness and willingness toward influenza vaccination, tempered by perceived barriers among university students. Vaccine acceptance appears driven by a multifaceted interplay of cognitive, emotional, and structural factors. Tailored, multifactorial interventions combining education, barrier reduction, and improved accessibility are essential to increase vaccine uptake in this population.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the clinical, functional, echocardiographic, and biomarker characteristics of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients with and without renal dysfunction, given the frequent coexistence of both conditions and their complex management challenges. Method: A total of 129 CHF patients were evaluated and divided into two groups based on renal function. Clinical symptoms, six-minute walk test results, echocardiographic findings, and serum biomarker levels were compared. Results: Patients with renal dysfunction exhibited more severe symptoms, higher Clinical State Scale scores, shorter walking distances, and more advanced diastolic failure with greater ventricular remodeling. NT-proBNP, NGAL, KIM-1, and cystatin C levels were significantly elevated in the renal dysfunction group, whereas creatinine showed only minor increases. This discrepancy indicates the limited sensitivity of traditional renal markers in detecting early tubular injury. Novelty: The study highlights the diagnostic value of novel renal biomarkers in CHF patients, demonstrating their potential for early detection of subclinical kidney damage and improved risk stratification, ultimately contributing to timely interventions and better prognostic outcomes.

Abstract

Objective: Coronaviruses (CoVs) refer to one of the RNA virus infections that can appear as diseases affecting humans. They're enveloped viruses with massive single-strand positive-sense RNA genomes that can infect humans, animals, birds, bats, mice, and a number of other wild creatures’ respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and central nervous systems. Method: Viral samples were collected from 90 patients through nasopharyngeal swabs. COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 serum patients’ cytokines were identified by ELISA, while SARS-CoV-2 IL-4 and IL-6 were recognized using the chemiluminescence method. Result: The S gene is generally present in the early stages of infection, with only a few extended periods of contamination, whereas the E gene appears in the later stages of disease—one to several weeks after the onset of infection—while the N gene appears to a lesser extent. With 90% amino acid homology and fewer modifications over time, the N gene is more regulated and stable. The (S and E gene) heterozygote shows a higher rate than the others. Novelty: This study highlights distinct gene expression patterns of SARS-CoV-2 during different stages of infection, revealing that the N gene exhibits greater stability and regulatory consistency, which could be significant for diagnostic and molecular surveillance applications.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on carbohydrate metabolism and lipid profile in patients with chronic heart failure and kidney dysfunction. Method: A total of 54 patients were enrolled and received empagliflozin therapy for six months. Clinical parameters, including fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin levels, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), were measured before and after treatment to assess metabolic and renal outcomes. Results: The findings demonstrated significant reductions in glucose, HbA1c, insulin, total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, alongside an increase in HDL levels, while GFR remained stable throughout the treatment period. These outcomes suggest favorable metabolic modulation without deterioration of renal function. Novelty: This study provides novel clinical evidence supporting the dual cardiometabolic benefits of empagliflozin in patients with concurrent heart failure and renal impairment, emphasizing its therapeutic potential beyond glycemic control in improving overall metabolic health and cardiovascular protection.

Abstract

Objective: Acute appendicitis (AA) may initiate due to various agents including bacteria, parasites, mainly Enterobius vermicularis and others meanwhile studies on its etiology are so rare in Iraq. Method: This research involves 50 specimen undergone appendectomies presented with clinical symptoms of AA investigated for various parasites. Results: Four different parasites with various proportions were detected in the 50 appendectomies patients. Almost 27(54%) of cases were diagnosed negative or non-parasitic infection while only 23(46%) were diagnosed infected with various parasites e.g. Entamoeba histolytica, with highest prevalence 12(24%); followed by Enterobius vermicularis with 8(16%); Blantidium coli 2(4%) and finally Ascaris lumbricus 1(2%). Novelty: The percentage of infection by E. vermicularis denotes the highest international record as the main cause of acute appendicitis worldwide which might be interpreted as a most pandemic parasite in poor food hygiene conditions in Iraq. Appendicitis displayed almost no impact on blood parameters. Extra parameters should be adopted to monitor the hygiene of Iraqi local restaurants or takeaways serve the exposed food for public consumption.
