To investigate the effects of Hubbard on-site Coulombic correction on the structural and electronical characteristics of wurtzite zinc oxide, first-principles calculations using density functional theory (DFT) were carried out. Because of the changes in structural characteristics brought about by the correction of hybridization between Zn 3d and O 2p states, suitable Hubbard terms need to be constructed before one can make an accurate forecast of the properties of ZnO. The computations were carried out by applying Hubbard corrections Ud to Zn 3d states and Up to O 2p states. These adjustments were based on the Wu-Cohen functional. When the Hubbard corrections Ud and Up were introduced to the calculation, the lattice parameters were more comparable to the experimental data and were found to be accurately predicted. The combination of the correction terms Ud and Up was successful in improving the underestimated bandgap of the wurtzite ZnO, which may have solved the difficulties that are associated with the traditional DFT. There is a strong agreement between the experimental bandgap and the best Hubbard parameters that were discovered for GGA-WC+U. These parameters were found to be Ud = 8 eV and Up = 8 eV.

In newborns, Candida is responsible for the common oral thrush and rash in skin folds and in the diaper area. Before the advent of modern sanitary measures and topical antifungal treatments, infants died from dehydration due to severe oral mucocandidiasis. Oral thrush is more likely to occur in infants and older adults due to reduced immunity. The study aimed to shed light on the relationship between Thrush and Candidia and To molecular identification of Candidia spp. isolated from Thrush. There are 100 samples of Oral swabs collected from pediatric with Thrush at ages ranging from (1day-12 years). All samples cultured on SDA, MSA and MEA. Several tests were used to identify the types of isolated yeasts, including growth on Chromogenic agar medium, as well as biochemical and molecular tests using primers ITS1, ITS4. The Results found that a six species of Candida were isolated on Chromogenic: C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. dubliniensis, C. krusei and C. kefyr, Also, showed the number of yeasts that were genetically diagnosed by molecular diagnosis was five species of yeasts as follows 2 isolates C. tropicalis from 22% and one isolate for each of the following types C. albicans, C. kefyr, C. dubliniensis and C. spp with 11% of all isolates where C. albicans showed the highest percentage. The results of the statistical analysis of the isolates showed that the most affected age group of pediatric was (month-1 year) in the rate of 24%. Antifungal susceptibility was studied, as the results indicated that all Candida isolates were sensitive to itraconazole, while all Candida isolates were resistant to fluconazole Furthermore, most types of Candida were resistant to Nystatin and Amphotericin B, except for three type’s C. krusei, C. glabrata, and C. kefyr. The most common pathogen in pediatric is Candida spp. In pediatric, the results indicated that the best treatment to eliminate Candida Itraconazol, Clotrimazol, Nystatin, and Amphotricine B Nystatin respectively

The molecular structures and optical properties of six different N.dimethylphenylendiamino dyes were analyzed using a combination of DFT functionals (B3LYP and Cam-B3LYP/6-311+G(p,d)). The six dyes are D1-D6. The various parameters of the solvated phase, such as the polarizabilities, hyperpolarizabilities, peak absorption wavelengths, and HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, were calculated and analyzed. The results of the study are in agreement with the results of the NLO activity order thiophene linker > pyrrole bridge. Compared to the dipyrrole versions, the designed dithiophene-linker dyes exhibit longer absorption wavelengths and smaller HOMO-LUMO gaps. The predicted first hyperpolarisability of dyes D1-D3 are higher than that of D4-D5. This is mainly due to its enhanced electron-withdraw ability and the long p-conjugating action of the thiophene moiety. Highly elevated total hyperpolarisability of the designed dyes, suggests its potential application in organic NLO devices, which is expected to be useful.

The NAFLD definition is combines the existence of steatosis in more than 5% of hepatocytes and metabolic risk factors, particularly obesity and T2DM, and exclusion of excessive alcohol consumption defined as ? 30 g per day for men and ? 20 g per day for women, or other chronic liver diseases In 2020, it was suggest that the nomenclature of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) should be updated to metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), Also it was found the diagnosis of MAFLD should be based on the presence of metabolic dysfunction not the absence of other conditions , MAFLD can coexist with other liver diseases and A reference to alcohol should not be included in the MAFLD acronym. Biochemical parameters play a significant role in careful diagnosis and also for risk assessment and adopting treatment that improves clinical outcome. In this article, we will highlight the nomenclature and diagnosis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease which before 2020 was called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and explain some of the biochemical parameters in this disease.

Limited studies have been conducted on the probable causes and risk factors for male infertility, despite evidence of diminishing sperm counts globally and increasing male infertility rates. Because there are few primary treatments for male unproductiveness, knowing the reason and risk characteristics will help identify particular ways to prevent it. Detect gaps of possible risks and reasons affecting on male to enable further specialized innovation and research are summarized in this review article. The review covered research from scholarly/scientific journals that addressed male infertility “its causes and risk factors”. There was no time or place restriction. Particular life style such as (smoking, alcohol intake and medication, the high prevalence of obese men, environmental contamination due to indiscriminate use especially (pesticides and heavy metals), electronic devices and male age are discussed. In addition, the genetics factors, STDs, varicocele, ROS and endocrine disorder and the influence on human spermatogenesis are considered. In our opinion, enhance comprehension “the causes and risk factor” will make it easier to develop primary preventive and to guide therapy for male infertility.

Because there are few primary treatments for male unproductiveness, knowing the reason and risk characteristics will help identify particular ways to prevent it. Detect gaps of possible risks and reasons affecting on male to enable further specialized innovation and research are summarized in this review article. The review covered research from scholarly/scientific journals that addressed male infertility “its causes and risk factors”. There was no time or place restriction. Particular life style such as (smoking, alcohol intake and medication, the high prevalence of obese men, environmental contamination due to indiscriminate use especially (pesticides and heavy metals), electronic devices and male age are discussed. In addition, the genetics factors, STDs, varicocele, ROS and endocrine disorder and the influence on human spermatogenesis are considered.

This study was conducted to isolate some types of bacteria that cause diarrhea in humans, and 350 stool samples were collected from all ages of both sexes who suffer from diarrhea in Al-Shatrah General Hospital, Bint Al-Huda Hospital, and the Public Health Laboratory in Thi-Qar province. Morphological traits routine and advanced biochemical tests were adopted in this study, The results showed that the percentage of diarrhea-causing bacteria isolates in stool samples was (5.71%), Salmonella (4) (20%), Aeromonas (2) (10%), Enterobacter (14) (70%). Enterobacter had the highest rates of resistance to Cefotaxime/clavulanic acid (28.571%), while Aeromonas had the highest rates of sensitivity to the same antibiotic (50%).
