Globally, diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious health issue. Diabetic neuropathy, the most prevalent micro-vascular consequence of diabetes, raises the chance of developing foot ulcers. Different aerobic bacteria, including Gram positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus, and (beta-haemolytic) Streptococcus are some of the pathogens that can colonize DFUs. Coagulation-negative Staphylococcus (CNS), Corynebacterium, Enterococcus, and Cutibacteria are frequently found in ulcer cultures in clinical practice; however they are typically regarded as colonizing rather than harmful bacteria. Anaerobes are detected in a smaller minority of DFIs and have been associated to altered innate and adaptive immune responses in the hyperglycemic milieu. Gram-negative bacteria account for about one third of DFIs. About 70 participants in all, including 29 individuals with type 1 diabetes and 41 patients with type 2 diabetes who have diabetic foot ulcers. Scarping of ulcers takes place after regular saline wound cleansing to eliminate surface pollutants, and then exudate is sampled. Pus, or discharges from the base of the ulcer, are then submitted to the laboratory as quickly as possible using an aseptic approach. Then, the bacteria were inoculated onto various culture media, such as MacConkey and Blood agar as enrichment media, and incubated aerobically at 37°C for 24 hours to isolate aerobic bacteria. The following day, the bacteria were checked for growth, and a pure colony was then prepared. According to morphological, microscopic, and particular cards of the automated VITEK2 system, isolated bacteria were identified.

Even though the pathophysiology of migraine has been the subject of many works, the precise molecular mechanism regarding the disturbances that underlie migraine remains unknown. Additionally, it is thought that oxidative stress contributes significantly to migraine development. For many years, the idea that migraine sufferers experience oxidative stress was addressed. The so-called nutraceutics, which include antioxidants, have received a lot of attention in the last few years among the substances which may be utilized to cure migraines. Antioxidants that are supplied with the food prevent the oxidative stress through suppressing the propagation, initiation, and actual oxidative chain reaction. The agents now being utilized to prevent migraines do in fact have certain antioxidative activity. Antioxidants that have been addressed in this research are growing more regularly utilized through the migraine sufferers not just because of low or even lack of side effects, yet as well due to their efficiency (shortening of an episode duration or reduced frequency of migraine episodes).

Background: A frequent and significant pro-inflammatory cytokine is IL-1?. In healthy cells, the IL-1? precursor is essentially present in almost all cell types, but it becomes a bioactive mediator upon necrotic cell death. IL-1? is also expressed by infiltrating myeloid cells within injured tissues. Aim and Objective: In this review, we focus on the biology of IL-1, its relationship to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and its developing role in the development and maintenance of the inflammatory processes that underlie the pathophysiology of PCOS women. Between the ages of (16 and 43), the 75 female patients enduring polycystic ovary syndrome are compared to the (50) healthy emales in the oversight group. IL- - alpha concentrations were noticeably greater in PCOS women compared to the control group, with p-values between (0.05-0.01)indicating a significant difference. These findings examined a non-significant difference in IL- levels between PCOS women and the control group, according to BMI. The research showed that PCOS women had considerably more IL-1 than women without PCOS in all BMI groups. IL-1-, however, in PCOS women and the Control Group The present findings looked at a non-significant variation in IL-1- concentration between PCOS women and the control group, according to Age. According to Age, the current results investigated at a non-significant difference in the concentration of IL-1- in PCOS women and the control group. When comparable age groups for women with (PCOS) and controls were examined, the results showed a significant rise in PCOS cases at p. value < 0.05.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which was dormant in the dorsal root ganglia or cranial nerve, reactivates to produce the viral illness shingle. Immunosenescence, which includes the documented decline of cell-mediated immunity with aging, can result in in the VZV reactivation. While HZ is typically mild in young, persons who are in good health, while older individuals are more likely to experience complications. The present study was carried out during the months of July 2022 to January 2023 in the governorate of Thi-Qar We examined the levels of VZV IgG antibodies, IL-4, IL-12,IL-17 and checking level VTN in the blood of 70 HZ patients who did not suffer from superinfection. 30 individuals of a comparable age who were healthy and free of infectious and inflammatory diseases made up the control group. blood samples were collected from them and examined via the ELISA system. While the plasma vitronectin level dropped in HZ patients when in comparison to the control group, both the serum levels of the cytokines IL-4, IL-12, and IL-17 as well as the VZV IgG antibody titer considerably rose. According to the results, HZ patients without chronic illnesses had significantly greater levels of IL-17. compared to individuals suffering from chronic illnesses. Additionally, IL-12 levels were noticeably higher in females than in males. Age and sex differences were not found to be significantly different in the research.

The main activity of community pharmacies throughout the world is directed with regard todispensing medication and patient care rather than compounding. Patients counseling has improved health-related outcomes in many acute and chronic conditions. The aim of this study is Assess the knowledge of community pharmacits about the counseling practice of patients in a sample of pharmacists in Thi-Qar/Iraq and Providing the appropriate means for developing the counseling and continuating education programs for community pharmacist. A cross-sectional study plan employing questionnaires was arranged based on previous studies and accomplished on a good specimen sample of sixty-one community pharmacists from Thi-Qar from separated areas of Thi-Qar participated in this survey. There were about (33%) of males and (67%) of females of respondents.
