Background: Depending on the surgeon's preference, different locations for trocar incision can be used to extract the gallbladder. Some studies are claiming that epigastric port is better for retrieval due to easiness for the surgeon as there is no need to change the position of the telescope and readjustment of the surgeon’s position. Other studies show the superiority of umbilical port in terms of pain. Setting: Sulaimani Teaching Hospital. Aims: The current work aims at evaluating the port site for gallbladder retrieval in LCin terms of time for extracting the specimen, frequency of port site pain, surgical site infection, and incisional hernia. Patients and methods: This is a prospective randomized study including 108 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It was conducted in Sulaimani Teaching Hospital from October 1st, 2020, to September 30th, 2021. Patients were divided into two groups matched in gender and age: Group A: Gallbladder was extracted from the epigastric port while in Group B: Gallbladder was extracted from the supra-umbilical port. Results: A two comparable groups of patients matched in gender and age were recruited with a mean age of 41.2 + 11.04 years ranged 20-68 years. Overall, 52.78 % (n=57) were female and 47.22% (n=51) were male with F/M ratio of 1.11/1. The time of the LCfor [21±4 min] was more in group B [n= 42, 38.9%] patients in contra to group A[n=37, 34.3%] patients, while for [33±2 minutes] it was more in group A [n= 6, 5.6% ] patients. Retrieval of the almost all the excised gall bladder (n=54, 98.18% patients) via supraumbilical port needs less time (≤5 minutes) in comparison to epigastric port (n=40, 75.47% patients). Conclusion: Based on these findings the safety and ease of supra-umbilical port for extraction of gallbladder during LChas been better than that in using epigastric port. Furthermore, it has taken less operative time with less patients complained of pain or surgical site infection, abscess, and port site incisional hernia.

Background & Objectives: Salmonella Paratyphi is a leading cause of human paratyphoid fever in developing countries, causing deaths in humans worldwide. There are several paths for catching paratyphoid fever, but the close contact between patients and healthy humans is so far the most frequent cause of human infections. No study is found about the antibiotic resistance (phenotypic and genetic) of S. Paratyphi isolated from patients in Al-Najaf Province/Iraq, to the researcher’s best knowledge. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of S. Paratyphi isolates from blood specimens and the antibiotic resistance determinants of them, as well as the genetic relationship among isolates. Methods and Results: Blood specimens from 1743 patients with suspected enteric fever were cultured for the identification of Salmonella enterica during the period from first April to the end of October 2017. 107 (6.14%) S. enterica isolates were recovered and only two (1.87%) of isolates were S. enterica serovar Paratyphi B. These two isolates (ST39 and ST89) were tested against 23 antibiotics using the disc diffusion method on Muller-Hinton agar and the genotypic antibiotic resistance determinants by PCR. ST39 isolate was sensitive to all antibiotics while ST89 isolate was resistant to only cefepime, piperacillin and tobramycin. ST39 isolate did not carry integrons (1 or 2) and any resistance determinants, while ST89 isolate carried integron class1 as well as blaTEM, blaCTX-M and aac(6')-lb genes. Conclusions: The findings of S. Paratyphi isolates with integron 1 and resistant antibiotic genes indicating public health risks.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. The psychosocial consequences of illness among women with BC are so frequent that they result in depression and other psychological distress. Objectives: The present study aims to estimate the prevalence of depression among BC patients and to identify the potential determinants. Patients & Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study of patients with BC was carried out throughout the period from January 2016 to July 2016 at the Middle Euphrates Cancer Center in Najaf Province-Iraq. Results: According to the results of BDI-ӀӀ questionnaire, 65 patients (37.1%) were screened as having depression and 110 patients (62.9%) were considered normal. The mean score for depression ± SD is equal to 13.60 ±8.78. The data analysis has found that 12.0%, 21.7%, and 3.4% of respondents had borderline, moderate depression, and severe depression, respectively while the binary logistic regression analysis has shown that cases with inadequate income (P= 0.010, OR =2.52, 95% C.I = 1.28-5.08), and lower educational attainment (P= 0.031, OR = 2.34, 95% C.I = 1.07-4.90) were more likely to have depression. Conclusion: it has been found that depression among women with BC is a considerable issue. Inadequate income and lower educational attainment can be independent risk factors for such a depression.
背景:乳腺癌(BC)是世界范围内最常见的女性癌症。患有BC的妇女疾病的社会心理后果是如此频繁，以至于导致抑郁和其他心理困扰。目的:本研究旨在估计BC患者中抑郁症的患病率，并确定潜在的决定因素。患者与方法:2016年1月至2016年7月，在伊拉克纳杰夫省幼发拉底河中部癌症中心对BC患者进行了一项分析性横断面研究。结果:根据BDI-ӀӀ问卷调查结果，65例(37.1%)患者被筛查为抑郁症，110例(62.9%)患者被认为正常。抑郁的平均得分±SD = 13.60±8.78。数据分析发现，12.0%、21.7%和3.4%的受访者分别患有边缘性、中度和重度抑郁症，而二元logistic回归分析显示，收入不足(P= 0.010, OR =2.52, 95% ci = 1.28 ~ 5.08)和受教育程度较低(P= 0.031, OR = 2.34, 95% ci = 1.07 ~ 4.90)的患者更易患抑郁症。结论:研究发现，女性BC患者的抑郁是一个相当大的问题。收入不足和受教育程度较低可能是这种抑郁症的独立风险因素。

Malignant small round cell tumors (MSRCT) are referred to as tumors made up of malignant small round cells. The cells in this type of neoplasms are tiny, rounded, and largely undifferentiated. Ewing's sarcoma (ES), peripheral neuroectodermal tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, retinoblastoma, neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, and nephroblastoma are a few of the more common ones. The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence and types of pediatric small round cell tumors in Najaf Province/Iraq, over the 10 years period between 2010-2019. Method: This is a retrospective observational study. Cases were collected from pathology laboratories in As-Sadr Medical City and some private laboratories in Najaf over a 10 year-period extending from 2010 to 2019. Results: A 6366 pediatric surgical biopsy cases were reported during the study period and this represent 8.7% of all cases. Out of these cases, 108 cases with small round cell tumors (SRCT) have given a prevalence rate of 17 per 1000 pediatric cases and 1.5 per 1000 of total (73504) adult and pediatric cases during the same period. The mean age of these SRCT cases was 6.3± 1.6 (range: one month-19) years. The higher proportion of cases was reported in the age of 1-5 years, contributed for 43.5%. Male to female ratio is 59/108 vs. 49/108, respectively, the male to female ratio being at 1.2 to 1.0. Conclusions: The mean age of SRCTs cases was 6.3± 1.6, ranging from one month to 19 years. The higher proportion of SRCTs cases was reported in the age ranging from 1-5 years; with a ratio of males to females being 1.2 to 1.0.

Background: Cardiac output can be decreased by many factors whose effects may be exaggerated during induction of anesthesia (which is already insulted to have negative effect on cardiac output) till the point of cardiac stand still. Aims: This study aims to answer the questions that “Is there any effect of general anesthesia induction agents on cardiac output? If there is any, which patient is affected more?”. The Study Design: It is a cross sectional study with convenient sampling procedure. According to the inclusion criteria, it includes patients planning to perform surgical procedure under general anesthesia while it excludes patients who refused to participate in the study or their surgical procedures had been canceled for certain reasons. Method and Patients: The study targeted a population from Duhok province and its territories; 207 patients, were admitted to Cardiac Center Operation theatres from 12/9/2021 to 30/10/2021 and Azadi Teaching Hospital operation theatres from 2/11/2021 to 15/1/2022. The data were collected pre operatively after taking a verbal consent as age, sex, weight, chronic diseases and duration of chronic diseases. Foreword by using echocardiography machine pre and post general anesthesia induction ejection fraction would be obtained. All this information would put in previously designed excel form. This data had been analyzed by Microsoft Excel Worksheet and transferred to SPSS V. 23(IBM). Descriptive statistics (central tendency) and proportions of uni-variant variables were calculated. Paired t test for sample mean difference and ANOVA test for more than two group means were applied to test the mean differences. A P value of < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: For the age of patients the mean was 40 years with range 77 years, minimum 1 year, maximum 78 year and standard deviation 15.731 years, for weight the mean was 71kg with range 130 kg, minimum 7kg, maximum 137kg, and standard deviation17.210 kg, for pre general anesthesia induction anesthesia the mean was 0.6055 %with range 0.45%, minimum 0.35%, maximum 0.80%, and standard deviation 0.06587%, for post general anesthesia induction the mean was 0.5531% with range 0.54%, minimum 0.24%, maximum 0.78% and standard deviation 0.087485, for duration of chronic diseases out of 41 patients the mean was 1.47 years with range 26 years, maximum 26 years, and standard deviation 3.802 years fortunately 166(80%) of patients were without any chronic diseases. The post induction ejection fraction significantly differs with the pre operation ejection fraction for (207) patients received anesthesia in Duhok hospitals during 2021. The average means difference was of 0.04499 (95% confidence interval, 0.04499, 0.05984.69). This difference is statistically significant at a ≤ .05 by the paired τ test (two-tailed). In this study, patients underwent induction of anesthesia had an average of .05242 (standard deviation, .00377) change in ejection fraction.

Aim: This study aims to determine both the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice in clinical breast examination in women and the relationship between knowledge and practice.Data collection was performed within a three-month period starting from February 2019 on. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional analytical study included 657 non-randomly selected women visiting primary health care centers in Baghdad city with an average of age between (20-59) years old. Results: Only 51.8% ever heard of clinical breast examination. The mean knowledge score for clinical breast examination was (51.2±44). Only 5.5% of women performed regular clinical breast examinations. Participants who adequately practice clinical breast examination had a statistically significance higher mean score of knowledge than those without adequate clinical breast examination (100 vs 44.2), (P<0.001).

Background: Total superficial parotidectomy is the most commonly used approach in excising the tumors that affect the superficial lobe of the parotid gland, whether they're benign or malignant. The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of total superficial parotidectomy for parotid gland tumors within five years of follow-up. Patients and methods: Nineteen patients with lateral facial swelling affecting the parotid region were included in this study. All of them operated under general anesthesia with oral endotracheal intubation, where Modified Blair Incision (lazy S incision) was utilized in all cases. Anterograde dissection with facial nerve identification was accomplished with total superficial parotidectomy. Results: Fifteen patients had benign parotid tumors, and only four patients had well-differentiated mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Skin necrosis of the distal tip of the postauricular flap was the most commonly observed postoperative complication, it occurred in five patients; facial nerve weakness was observed in the another three patients. Conclusions: total superficial parotidectomy is an efficient, safe technique for benign and malignant tumors affecting the superficial lobe of the parotid gland with minimum postoperative complications.

This study is to investigate Brucellosis, Toxoplasmosis and Foot and Mouth disease of buffalo herds in Baghdad villages. 114 samples (serum) were collected, including 22 for calves less than 6 months and 92 samples of females aged between three to seven years, the samples were collected by staff of Baghdad Veterinary Hospital / Veterinary Directorate, and has been working in Central Veterinary Laboratory/ Veterinary Directorate. The ELISA diagnostic kits are selected for the detection of antibodies of Brucella abortus, Toxoplasmosis and Foot and Mouth disease (Multispecies). The result of the research is the presence of different levels of infection in the same herd 58.18% of Brucella abortus, 11.40% of Toxoplasmosis and 44.73 % of Foot and Mouth disease (Multispecies). The purpose of the study is to investigate the three diseases and their compatibility with the symptoms, although buffalo herds have not been previously vaccinated against the diseases, which proves the existence of different levels of infection in one herd and it adversely affect the development of livestock.

The goal of this study was to assess the pain-relieving action of tramadol alone or when administered with chlorpromazine and screening for analgesic effects by using sedative non-analgesic doses of tramadol and chlorpromazine when injected together in chicks. the analgesic ED50 of tramadol was 0.8 mg/kg body weight ( intra muscular injection), and the sedative ED50 of chlorpromazine was 8.6 mg / kg of body weight (intraperitoneal injection). Based on Isopolographic analysis, the type of drug interaction between tramadol and chlorpromazine was determined when injected together in a ratio by 1: 1, 1: 0.5 and 0.5: 0.5 from the median effective dose(ED50 )of tramadol and the median effective dose of chlorpromazine was synergetic interaction. Thus conclude that combination of tramadol and chlorpromazine with sedative non-analgesic doses is ideal for a good analgesic effect of pain in chicks

The aim of this study is to investigate the deferoxamine effect on rat fetal bone formation and on certain regulating genes expression that play a vital key role in bone formation. Sixty albino adult female rats three months old with average weight 170-200g were employed in this study. The rats were distributed randomly in to two groups. Control group (n=30) receiving 0.3ml ip physiological saline and deferoxamine methane intra peritoneal daily at a dose of 100 mg/kg throughout the pregnancy from the first day of pregnancy until last day of pregnancy. Skeleton samples and staining were done on sixty fetuses were chosen from each group at 20 days of pregnancy as well as liver samples from mothers and their fetuses for studying gene expression of Msx1 and Cx43. The results showed that many variations in certain bone formation and development markers were recorded as well as there was downregulation of studied genes. In conclusion, the study found that deferoxamine affect negatively on certain bone development markers and on gene expression of Msx1 and Cx43 represented as downregulation.
