Objectives: To describe the epidemiological profile of metastatic malignant pleural effusion (MPE) in patients admitted to the surgical wards at a tertiary hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. Methodology: The study was single-center, cross-sectional, and comprised 90 successive patients who were hospitalized with MPE. Results: Out of 90 patients, 60% were females and the age group 46-55 years formed the highest percentage (33.3%). We found that 97.8% had pre-existing malignancy, mainly breast cancer and 85.5% suffered non-specific generalized symptoms related to the primary malignancy. All the cases presented with shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain, and only 3.3% were asymptomatic. Pleurodesis was done in 84 patients and in the majority of them (86.7%) bleomycin was used. The majority of the pleural fluid aspirates were exudate according to Light criteria. 40% patients improved during hospitalization. Better improvement was observed among unilateral, and small MPE. Less than one-third of the cases had recurrent effusion, which was mostly in those with bilateral and secondary MPE. The survival rate was relatively good (82%). Around 6% cases were referred to oncologists. Conclusion: Although the therapeutic approaches of MPE were mostly palliative not curative, a substantial improvement in outcome after the management of MPE was noted. Parameters that predict favorable short-term outcomes are unilateral and small pleural effusions.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of an educational program on nursing staff regarding urinary tract infection associated with catheters (UTIAC) prevention in Kirkuk General Hospital, Kirkuk City. Methodology: This pre-experimental (pre-post) one group study was conducted by purposive sample of 54 nurses recruited from respiratory, coronary, and intensive care units at Kirkuk General Hospital. A questionnaire was completed by all participants. It had two parts: Part I: Socio-demographic questionnaire and Part II: Level of nurses’ knowledge questionnaire. Data collection was carried out from December 2022 to February 2023 and were analyzed by SPSS version 22. Results: The males were 55.6%, and 51.9% belonged to age group <25 years. Most (83.3%) were from nursing college, 40.7% had between 1-2 years’ experience as nurses, while 87% had not received any training about UTIAC prevention. There were highly significant statistical differences between pre- and post-program at p<0.001 for nurse’s knowledge about preventing UTIAC. There was no significant relationship between nurses’ level of knowledge and their demographic characteristics. Conclusion: The educational program had a significant and positive effect on nursing staffsꞌ knowledge about preventing UTIAC.

We report a case of complete endoscopic removal of a nasolabial cyst. A 46-year-old woman visited our hospital with right nasal congestion and runny nose. Non-enhanced paranasal sinus computed tomography showed a 2.0 cm sized low-density lesion in the right nasolabial fold, suggesting a nasolabial cyst. Endoscopic excision of the cyst was performed. A 12 months follow-up was uneventful.
