Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels caused by decreased tissue sensitivity to insulin, inadequate insulin synthesis, or a combination of both factors. Insulin Resistance (IR) enhances the liberation of unbound fatty acids from adipocytes, resulting in elevated levels of circulating unbound fatty acids. The aim of this study is to evaluate some biochemical parameters in the sera of T2DM and compared between T2DM patients with and without hypertension. Material and method: 60 T2DM patients participated in the current study; these patients were split into two groups, 30 T2DM with HP and 30 T2DM without HP. Patient samples were obtained at the Diabetes Research Centre Al-Mustansiriyah University in Baghdad, Iraq, between January and April of 2021. the two study groups in comparison with thirty healthy control subjects. Results: results obtained from this study showed that there is a significant difference in ( Age, BMI, WHR, FBS, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL, C-peptide, HOMA-IR, Cortisol), while there is non-significant difference in urea and creatinine between patients without HP and control, in the other hand, there is a significant difference in all parameters determined in this study between T2DM with HP and control. Last but not least, there is a significant difference in WHR, FBS, urea, creatinine , C-Peptide, HOMA-IR and cortisol and there is non-significant difference in the other parameters determined in the study. Conclusion: From the results obtained in this work, it is concluded that the relationship between T2DM and HP is proportional, patients with PH shows higher WHR and FBS and that’s back to the higher body fats, urea and creatinine is significantly increased in patients with HP because of the impair damage in the kidney do to the high pressure, there is direct relationship between age and T2DM infection, the BMI and WHR is one of the most effected risk factors for the injury of T2DM. lipid profile parameters is associated with T2DM because the elevation in the body fat will raise the BMI and WHR and cause insulin resistance that leads to T2DM, renal function parameters will be raise as a response for the damage that effect the nephrons of the kidney, level of C-peptide increased due to the body’s try to keep the level of glucose in the normal range and HOMA-IR is increased because of the insulin resistance occurs in the body . last conclusion is that the level of cortisol is effected by some of inhibitory drugs so it is drop down to a low levels. More studies should be done in this subject to improve the outcomes and find new ways to control and have a good way to diagnose T2DM .

Oral lichen planus(OLP) usually appears in the form of skin lesions with multiple oral symptoms. Research indicates that it may be an autoimmune disease and is believed to be related to some viral infections. aims to determine the level of some immune indicators in patients with OLP and some types of viral infections associated with it. The research also aimed to determine the level of these indicators in patients who suffered from recurrence of the infection. Methods: ELISA technology was used to determine the level of immune indicators, Results the percentage of patients infected with OLP was 48.9%, while those infected with OLP+HCV, OLP+HBsV, and OLP+HSV-1 were 9.4%, 6.2%, and 5.2%, respectively. Some immune indicators are in higher concentrations in females than in males. While there was variation in the levels of some other measured indicators, as they appeared in higher concentrations in patients infected with OLP+HBsV than in other groups, followed by the group of patients infected with OLP+HCV. In the group of patients with OLP, the infection was recurrent at a rate of 93.6%, while the non-recurrence rate was 6.4%. The immune indicators S-IgA, IgG, and C3 each appeared in higher concentrations in non-recurring disease cases, while the rest of the immune indicators appeared in higher concentrations in recurrent cases, and they varied. The levels of these immune indicators in other disease groups under study among those who have recurrence than in the other group. Conclusion: Some immunological indicators are increase in OLP patients and also, in HBsV infections and the disease may be recurrent in same family.

Heart diseases in the Iraqi population are a significant public health concern. Iraq has experienced in the prevalence of heart diseases, including coronary artery disease, heart failure and hypertension. Different researches have shown that human Boca virus (HBoV) may be a risk factor, for some cardiac disorders. Hence, goals of resent work is to investigate roles of human Boca virus in ischemia heart disease (IHD) and to investigate roles of serum level of IL-23 in these diseases. 40 heart diseases patients and 40 controls were included. Controls were females (n=30) followed by males (n=10), while patients with IHD were 27 males and 13 females. There were highly significant variations in ages of patients and controls with (p≤0.01). The mean ± SE of age of patients with IHD was 37.90 ±0.75 years, while the mean ± SE of controls was 40.52 ±0.79 years. Lipid profile was measured. There were significant variations between patients' and controls. Also, mean ± SE of HDL was statistically significant between ischemia and control groups (85.28 ±4.31 and 55.10 ±1.23 mg/dl) with p≤0.01, respectively. The serum levels of IgG and IgM were assessed using ELISA. There was no significant variation in mean ± SE of serum level of IgM between ischemia and healthy controls (0.251 ±0.04 and. 0.341 ±0.07 ug/Ml). respectively. There were significant variations in mean ± SE of serum level of IgG between ischemia and controls (0.723 ±0.16 and. 0.076 ±0.004 ug/ml). There were highly significantly differences in Mean ± SE of serum level of 1L-23 between IHD heart diseases (0.407 ±0.073 Pg/mL) and healthy controls (0.0121 ±0.003 pg/mL) with p<0.001, respectively.

Veterinary medications, particularly antibiotics, are crucial elements in the manufacturing of animal feed. Typically, antibiotics are mostly employed in animals for the purpose of treating and preventing infections, as well as promoting growth. The utilization of antibiotics in animals can lead to the presence of antibiotic residues in food products, including milk, eggs, and meat. It is possible for these residues to cause a lot of bad things, like the spread of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics to humans, immune system problems, allergies, and even cancer (with sulphamethazine, and other drugs). The most harmful consequence of residual drugs is the transfer of resistant antibiotic germs to individuals, aided by the mobility traits of resistance. Controlling the consumption of antibiotics in cattle is imperative in order to mitigate these detrimental effects. The issue should be communicated to individuals and local protocols through formal education. This review will discuss the use of antibiotics in food products and their effects on the health of people.

To assess the impact of E. camaldulensis extract against bacteria that are isolated from urine sample from UTI patient in Baquba city Then mix this plant with antibiotics to see its effect. In addition to examine those pathogens bacteriologically. The sensitivity of the isolates to (13) antibiotics was tested, and the bacterial isolates showed a variation in the rates of their resistance to these antibiotics. The results showed that the antibiotic Imipenem had the most effect on the bacterial isolates under study, while the bacterial isolates showed high resistance to the rest of the antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 3 antibiotics, namely, Gentamycin, Amikacin and Amoxicillin. These values for the antibiotics ranged between <4-1024, <4-1024 <<512-1024) mcg/ml, respectively. The Ethanolic Extract of Eucalyptus Exhibit highest antibacterial effect on S.areus on (o.62 g/1.5 ml and 0.31g/750ml). Lower respectively antibacterial effect on Proteus and Pseudomonas but no antibacterial effect against Klebsiella. Bacterial isolates were selected on the basis of their most frequent urinary tract infections and their resistance to the effect of antibiotics (K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus). The amount of the mixed effect was determined by mixing Eucalyptus with three antibiotics, namely Amikacin and Gentamycin Amoxicillin. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the isolates under study was compared before and after mixing the antibiotics. The effect of mixing was a synergistic effect for all bacterial isolates. On the other hand, the synergistic effect was clear on the gram-positive isolates of S. aureus between eucalyptus and beta-lactams (and Amoxicillin).

This article presents a preliminary report that uses minuscule images of blood tests to develop a diagnosis of leukemia. Examining through images is crucial since illnesses can be recognized and examined at an earlier stage using the images. The framework will be centered on leukemia and white blood cell illness. In fact, even the hematologist has trouble organizing the leukemic cells, and manually arranging the platelets takes a long time and is quite loose. In this way, early detection of leukemia recurrence allows the patient to receive the appropriate treatment. In order to address this problem, the framework will make use of the capabilities in small images and examine surface, geometry, shading, and quantifiable investigation modifications. These features' variations will be utilized as the classifier input. has transformed the use of images K proposes that (NN) and agglomeration.

This study examines the necessary changes in Ghana’s medical negligence law which governs artificial intelligence (AI) pilots in hospitals to preserve the doctor-patient relationship and address the liability gap by reviewing Law 575, examination of case law. Combined with lessons from Nigerian hospitals and the global literature, practical recommendations result in acceptable changes, provider responsibilities are renewed, patient advocacy in automation Contributions include modeling legal language for maintaining standards of care, limiting algorithmic harm, and advising emerging AIs on diagnosis or treatment. The need for transparency of equipment and current pilots calls for an update to Rule 575 sooner rather than waiting for crimes to occur. Emphasis is placed on the potential of clinical leaders and policymakers.

Emphasis is placed on the potential of clinical leaders and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":517007,"journal":{"name":"Al-Salam Journal for Medical Science","volume":"383 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140483014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vaginal infections are predominantly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis, bacterial vaginosis, and Candida infection. These infections are particularly concerning among pregnant women, potentially leading to adverse outcomes, including miscarriage. This study aimed to investigate the association between Trichomonas vaginalis infection and hormonal and immune parameters (Vitamin D and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels). A cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2022 and October 2023. A total of 92 women participated, including 67 patients with recurrent vaginitis (characterized by burning, itching, and discharge) and 25 healthy controls. High vaginal swabs and 5 ml of venous blood were collected from each participant. Serum levels of Vitamin D, TSH, and inflammatory cytokines were measured using immunofluorescence techniques. Women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis had significantly elevated serum Vitamin D levels (P=0.0144), while the differences in TSH levels between the two groups were not statistically significant. Although associations between TSH, Vitamin D, and Trichomonas vaginalis infection were observed, these correlations did not reach statistical significance. This study suggested that Trichomonas vaginalis infection may be associated with increased serum Vitamin D levels in affected women. The lack of a significant change in TSH levels and its weak association with the infection indicate a complex interplay between hormonal balance and vaginal infections. Further research is needed to explore the implications of these findings, particularly in the context of infertility and immune modulation during vaginal infection.
阴道感染主要由阴道毛滴虫、细菌性阴道病和念珠菌感染引起。这些感染在孕妇中尤为严重,有可能导致流产等不良后果。本研究旨在调查阴道毛滴虫感染与激素和免疫参数(维生素 D 和促甲状腺激素(TSH)水平)之间的关系。这项横断面研究于 2022 年 9 月至 2023 年 10 月间进行。共有 92 名妇女参加了这项研究,其中包括 67 名复发性阴道炎患者(以灼热、瘙痒和分泌物为特征)和 25 名健康对照者。每位参与者都采集了高浓度阴道拭子和 5 毫升静脉血。使用免疫荧光技术测量血清中维生素 D、促甲状腺激素和炎症细胞因子的水平。感染阴道毛滴虫的妇女血清维生素 D 水平明显升高(P=0.0144),而两组之间促甲状腺激素水平的差异无统计学意义。虽然观察到促甲状腺激素、维生素 D 和阴道毛滴虫感染之间存在关联,但这些关联未达到统计学意义。这项研究表明,阴道毛滴虫感染可能与受影响妇女的血清维生素 D 水平升高有关。促甲状腺激素(TSH)水平没有明显变化,且与感染的关联性较弱,这表明激素平衡与阴道感染之间存在复杂的相互作用。需要进一步研究来探讨这些发现的意义,特别是在不孕症和阴道感染期间免疫调节方面。
