Background: Obesity is an abnormal or increased fat accumulation in the body. Body mass index (BMI) defined as a person weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m 2 ). It is a very simple index that more commonly used to identify overweight and obesity in adults. For childhood, the amount of body fat differs from that an adult because it differs according to the age and to the sex, so the BMI ageand sexspecific percentiles are used. Obesity in children is a real health problem worldwide especially in developed countries, as well as, it increases in developing countries. Childhood obesity predispose to type 2 diabetics, hypertension, liver and renal disease, cardiovascular diseases and adult obesity. Objective: To detect the prevalence and possible risk factors for childhood obesity in primary schools in Baqubah city from age 6 to 12 years. Patients and Methods: The study was cross-sectional study conducted on a random sample of 6 primary schools from different localities in Baqubah city, followed by a systematic random sample of 308 children aged from 6 to12 years of both sexes. A questionnaire sent to the parents to get information on socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, physical activity, family history of obesity and parents education and job. Children's height (cm), weight (Kg), and BMI-for-age were measured. Child's weight status was categorized based on WHO 2007 Growth Reference. This study was included 308 child, the mean age was 9.32±1.9year, 51.9% of the children were males, and 49.1% were female the mean BMI was 18.36±4. Only 2.5% of the studied sample were underweight, while 73.4%, 14.3% and 9.4% were of normal, overweight or obese respectively. Results: About 48% of children in this study eat sweets, 48.5% do regular sports, 48.7% watch TV or mobile for more than 2 hours daily. It was found that 34.7% of children got positive family history of obesity, regarding educational level of parents 39% of mothers and 42.9% of fathers got primary level of education and 33.1% of mothers, 31.2% of fathers got higher than secondary level. Conclusion: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 23.7% in primary schoolchildren in Baqubah city. The study supports the multi factorial etiology of obesity It showed that sedentary life style, positive family history and eating un healthy foods are risk factors.

Background: Chronic kidney disease is an international public health problem affecting 5– 10% of the world population. As kidney function declines, there is a progressive deterioration in mineral homeostasis, with a disruption of normal serum and tissue concentrations of phosphorus and calcium. Objective: To determine the effect on bone density by dexa scan and mineral derangement in chronic renal failure, by measuring calicium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid serum ,total serum protein and Albumin levels and to determine bone density by dexa scan of bones. Patients and Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted in 75 patients with chronic renal failure . Blood was taken before dialysis session and measurements of serum calcium, phosphorus, serum alkaline phosphatase, .protein and albumin levels, and dexa scan to measure the bone density in these patients. Results: There was a significant correlation between Hypocalcemia and dexa scan results. Majority of patients had high serum phosphate levels (54.6%).and normal phosphate level in 40% while the hypophosphatemia result 5.33% and mean phosphate level is2.24 mmol/l. Total serum protein mean is 61.51 , 37.33% of them had hypoproteinemia and 62.66 % of them had normal serum protein. There was a significant correlation between dexa scan and vit D level, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, female gender, smoking and body mass index. Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that it can predict the chronic kidney diseasesMetabolic bone disorder from mineral levels before diagnosis by dexa scan.

Background: In diabetes, there are big concerns regarding impaired wound healing and other tissue disorders. The time and quality of wound healing are affected by many factors. One of the medical sciences ' aims is short-term wound healing with decreased side effects Herbal products are more valuable in both prophylaxis and curative in slowed diabetic wound healing as compared to synthetic drugs A considerable number of researches have shown that capers plant has distinct biological effects, including antioxidant, anticancer and antibacterial activity. Phytochemical analysis reveals C. Spinosa has large amounts of bioactive compounds, including polyphenolic compounds, which are essential for its health promoting effects. Objective: Histological evaluation of the effect of topical application of flavonoid extract of Capparis spinosa on the healing of incisional cutaneous wounds in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Patients and Methods: A total of 30 healthy male Wistar rats weighing approximately 250300 g were used in this study. A surgical incisional wound with full skin thickness of 1.5 cm length were done in cheek skin of each rat. All rats were randomly divided into following groups: Group A: (10 healthy rats) received daily local application of the plant extract. Group B: (10 alloxan-induced diabetic rats) received daily local application of extract of the plant material. Group C: (10 alloxan –induced diabetic rats) where normal saline was applied locally instead of plant extract. Assessment of wound contraction was done as well as epithelial thickness inflammatory cell count and blood vessels count. Scarification of all animals was done for the healing periods (3 and 7 days), and specimens were prepared for histological analysis. Results: The results revealed that the recorded mean values of wound contraction increased with time in each group and that the highest mean values recorded in group A and B. Mean values of inflammatory cell count decreased with time lowest values recorded in group A after 7 days. Regarding epithelial thickness values increased with time. Blood vessels count showed highest mean value in group A at day 7. Conclusion: Results from this study showed that flavonoid rich extract of Capparis spinosa enhances wound healing process in diabetic rats.
