Background: Overweight and obesity defined as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health". Obesity is the fifth among global causes of death. The rise in overweight and obesity among adult workers is a global public health concern. It's associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer, as well as increased healthcare expenditures, reduced job productivity, and lost of money. Objective: To assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity and to find out relation with some risk factors among staff at Technical Institute-Swaira in Middle Technical University. Patients and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design carried out in Technical Institute-Swaira in Middle Technical University. Included (150) of staff selected. Sampling Technique to selection staff were random (probability sampling). The data collection by direct interview technique of researcher with each participant of staff from 5th November 2021 to 4th July 2022. Results: The study show socio-demographic characteristics. Regarding to staff age (31-40) years constituted the majority (38.0%). High percentage of participants were married (84.7%) and lower percentage were divorced (1.3%), BMI in the study population the high percentage were (42.0%) of participants overweight, BMI was highly significantly by practicing exercise (P= 0.000), significant differences in BMI with regular three meals a day and eat fast food (P= 0.01), (P= 0.03). Conclusion: This study found that a large number of participant were overweight or obese. BMI changes a lot with age. There were big differences in BMI between participant who worked out regularly and participant who ate three meals a day or fast food.

Background: The Papillary variant of thyroid carcinoma is one of the common types of thyroid malignancies , the commonest. Its diagnosis usually is microscopic which based on nuclear features. Objective: To assess the immunohistochemical expression of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) in PTC and compare its reactivity with other thyroid conditions to approve its importance as a useful test for diagnosing PTC. Patients and Methods: Twenty- cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (with different variants), five follicular adenomas and ten multinodular goiters (MNG) were collected over three years (2018-2021).10% formalin-fixed sections were collected from thyroidectomy specimens. Stained with Hematoxylin and eosin then immunohistochemical staining for immune-marker CK 19 was done using standard techniques. The results were quantitatively scored as the following: score 0 (negative ), score 1+ (<5%) positive cells), score 2+ (5- 25%), score 3+ (25-75%) ,finally score 4+ (>75%) positive cells), and then calculated. Results: An 18 (90%) papillary carcinomas show diffuse and strong (3+ and 4+) expression of CK19 . ,three out of ten (30%) MNG were weakly positive(1+ and 2+) and focal in distribution while in follicular adenoma all cases were negative for CK19 . Conclusion: Ck 19 can stain benign and malignant thyroid tissue, but strong membranous staining applied in cases of papillary ca , thus can be used as confirmatorytool for PTC diagnosis.

Background: Heat-cured acrylic resins are used most often for denture bases because they are the best in terms of their physical and chemical properties, are easy to handle, and are affordable. But the surface is not hard enough, and oral bacteria such as Candida albicans stick to the resin. Objective: To assess how Radish oil affected heat-cured acrylic's impact strength and hardness. Patients and Methods: The intention was to create a total of (60) specimens. Twenty samples were made without additives (Control), and 40 had made with radish oil added at two different amounts (2.5 per cent, 5 per cent). Results: There was a Non-significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the impact strength test. In contrast, the hardness test showed a highly significant difference between the control and experimental groups. When radish oil had added, the impact strength and hardness had reduced in all concentrations. Conclusion: Adding radish oil decreased the hardness and impact strength of the two experimental groups.

Background:Globally, rotavirus infection, which results in gastroenteritis, is one of the major health problems. Millions of children are infected with the disease. Viral gastroenteritis must be recognized early because it causes wasteful antibiotic use and hospitalizations for kids. Objective: To investigate the frequency of rotavirus in stool samples from children with acute gastroenteritis. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study consisting of one hundred fifty-three fresh stool samples collected from children less than 5 years were admitted to Raparin pediatric hospital in Erbil city between November 2021 and April 2022. Rotavirus antigens were detected by Rapid test. Results: Rotavirus antigen was detected at an estimated rate of 61 (40%) in 153 studied cases. The frequency of rotavirus among male and female patients was 44.1% and 33.3% respectively. According to age of infants, rotavirus was detected most frequency in eight months of age. As well as the frequency rate among rural and urban patients was 40% and 39.8% respectively. Rotavirus was detected among vaccinated and non-vaccinated patients by the frequency 26.3% and 54.8% respectively. The highest frequency rate was detected in January 46.4%. Detection of rotavirus by age group was and vaccinations were significant in this study by p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: The most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in children in our area is rotavirus . Rotavirus infection is most frequently occurring during the winter season and among children between 6 months to 24 months. Conclusion: In this study we found cigarette smoking was more commonly practiced than water pipe .Nicotinic stomatitis is more prevalent in cigarette smoking and its incidence increased with duration and frequency of the habit.

Evaluation of relationship between S.aureus in-fection and possible risk factors in human (age, sex, education level, economic statue, hospitalization in last four weeks contact with sheep skin lesions, and contact with pets). \u0000Patients and Methods: A total of 44 skin swaps collected from sheep breeders suffered from variety of infected skin lesions (wounds, abscesses, atopic dermatitis, acne, chronic skin diseases etc.) recording; sex, age, education level, economic statue, hospitaliza-tion in last four weeks, contact with sheep skin lesions, and contact with pets to detect S. aureus, MRSA and estimating the risk factors, by employing traditional laboratories methods in addition to confirmatory techniques by VETEK2 sys-tem and PCR, using specific primers (Staur 4, 6), MRSA gene primers (mecA). \u0000Results: Methicillin sensitive S. aureus was reported in 34.09% versus40% for MRSA among sheep breeders. Significant correlation reported between age groups and MRSA infections. Although, the rate of infection with methicillin sensitive S. aureus and MRSA was higher among males compared with females , no signifi-cant correlation reported between sex and infection with methicillin sensitive S. aureus and MRSA. Female breeders were at high risk for getting dermal MRSA infections compared with males. No significant correlation between the educa-tion level, economic status, contact with pets and methicillin sensitive S. aure-us , MRSA infections as Risk factors. Methicillin sensitive S. aureus infections among breeders significantly correlated with hospitalization in last four weeks .Significant correlation reported between contact with skin lesions of sheep and methicillin sensitive S. aureus , MRSA infections among breeders. \u0000Conclusion: Methicillin resistant trait was common among S.aureus isolated from sheep breeders .MRSA infections correlated with age. Female sheep breeders were at high risk for getting S.aureus and MRSA infections. Sex , education level, eco-nomic status, contact with pet play no role in infection with S.aureus. hospitali-zation in last four weeks, contact with skin lesions correlated significantly with S. aureus, MRSA infections among breeders.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 is a serious infection resulting in a global threat caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) characterized by different symptoms, ranging from mild flu to severe pneumonia. Objective: To focus on the oral manifestations which could be present in some cases of COVID-19 and to assess the associations between oral health and COVID19. Patients and Methods: An online questionnaire survey was performed on188 medical specialists in Sulaimaniyah city. The questionnaire was composed of 3 parts; the 1st part included demographic features. The 2nd part was composed of questions concerning the oral hygiene condition of the participants, and the 3rd section encompassed questions about oral complications during infection with COVID-19. Results: Among 188 participants, 92% complained of oral manifestation while being infected with Covid-19 at significant levels. Facial and masticatory muscle pain 27.1%, facial or oral numbness 8%, jaw bones or joint pain 39.9%, changes in buccal mucosa and gingiva 10.1%, bleeding gingivitis 9%, Altered taste sensation 67.6%, altered smell sensation 69.1% and xerostomia 54.8% were highly associated with Covid-19. Conclusion: Some cases of Covid-19 usually present with different oral manifestations. Therefore, oral care monitoring should be enhanced for Covid-19 patients and maintain good oral health.
