Background : sexual disorder is very common after delivery and it's rate is still under researches . the purpose of this study is to compare the effect of vaginal delivery versus caesarean section (CS) on sexual function Patients: retrospective study have been done at AL Jenainah and Al Rebat Antenatal care clinic in Basrah over a period of six months (10th May -10th November 2016 ) . 100 participant answered questionnaires (6 months after delivery) were included in this study Results :56women delivered vaginally with episiotomy and 44 delivered by caesarean section. mean age is 28 years, all of them primiparous patients (had only one child). 80.4% who delivered vaginally and 72.7% who delivered by cs were housewives ,44.6% (25 women), 30.4% (17 women) who delivered vaginally were finished secondary and high education respectively, while 31.8% (14women) , 38.6% (17women) who delivered by cs were finished secondary and high education respectively . Out of the women only orgasm and satisfaction appear to be in high association with mode of delivery with p-value (0.000, 0.002) respectively. Conclusion: although our result showed strong association between orgasm and satisfaction with mode of delivery still the other variables may be affected by other factors like breast feeding and contraception which are not taken in consideration in our study

: Background : Helicobacter Pylori(H.Pylori) is a very common bacterium infecting nearly half of population worldwide. Its eradication is related to multiple factors including host immune state and treatment regimens. Sufficient Serum Vitamin D may be associated with H. Pylori and its eradication rate. The aim of this study is to find any association of serum Vitamin D and H. Pylori eradication success rate. Patients and methods : 40 patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms were involved in the study who were infected with Pylori and their urea breath were over 50 count per minute .They were treated by Levofloxacin-based triple therapy for 14 days, with estimation of their serum vitamin D. Re-testing done after 8 weeks to assess the success rate of eradication . Results : There was no association between serum level of vitamin D level and success rate of eradication as p value was 0.111. The eradication success rate was 54%. Conclusion: No association was found between serum vitamin D level and the eradication success rate of H. Pylori.

Background: Kidney transplantation gives the best quality of life to chronic kidney disease patients and also increases longevity. Aim: Analysis of factors responsible for the early and delayed graft functioning in live and cadaver renal transplants Patients and Methods: It was a retrospective observational study. Donor and recipient age, sex, BMI, comorbid illness, and functioning status of the donor kidney, duration and severity of chronic kidney disease and associated bladder disorders were collected. Operative factors like perfusion time, cold ischemia time, blood pressure fall, need for blood transfusion, vasopressor support was recorded. Patients were divided into two groups based on early versus delayed graft function. Results: 27 cases of Live donor renal transplant and 23 cadaver transplants were included. The average age in live donor and cadaveric transplants was 43.5 ±7.6 years and 38.3 ±10.5 years, respectively. 24 Live Transplant Recipients had Early Graft function (89%). Seven Cadaveric Transplant Recipients had Early Graft function (31%) and 16 of them had Delayed Graft Function (69%). HLA Mismatch, Perioperative Hypotension and BMI of recipient had statistically significant relationship to Early Graft Function with p values of 0.02, 0.004 and 0.007, respectively. With p-value of 0.021 and of 0.046, respectively, perioperative hypotension and cold ischemic time in Cadaveric renal transplantation had statistically significant relationship to Early Graft Function. Conclusion: Live donor transplants have better early graft function. HLA Mismatch, Perioperative Hypotension, BMI of recipient and cold ischemic time in Cadaveric renal transplantation are the predictors of early graft function.

: Thyroid hormones affect practically all organs in the body and control the organism's basal metabolism. The stomach and viscera are not spared, and thyroid dysfunction causes a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, the true prevalence of which is unknown. Digestive symptoms or manifestations may also disclose thyroid disease clues, and if ignored or underestimated, diagnosis may be delayed, with dangerous consequences. Thyroid interactions with the gastrointestinal system have been widely recorded, however, there is no comprehensive report on the various effects of hypothyroidism in the literature. Although gastrointestinal motor dysfunction is largely acknowledged as the primary cause of symptoms, many complex phenomenaremain unknown. Hemorrhoids are a prevalent gastrointestinal condition that is being identified in general health screenings. Many clinical signs, such as asymptomatic piles or rectal bleeding, have a negative impact on quality of life.High intra-abdominal pressure and a fragile supporting structure are also risk factors for hemorrhoids. Obesity, constipation, diarrhea, chronic or persistent cough, pregnancy or delivery, and prolonged standing are all circumstances that might raise intra-abdominal pressure. Hypothyroidism manifests itself in a variety of organs and tissues. Constipation is the most prevalent gastrointestinal complaint in individuals with hypothyroidism, which can lead to hemorrhoids.

Background: Alveolar bone loss is a significant factor in the breakdown of tissues in periodontal disease. The condition compromises the structural integrity of alveolar bone by altering its microenvironment. Numerous molecular activities, such as Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), control the process. Aims: This study aims to assess the level of salivary Alkaline Phosphatase with healthy gingiva on the reduced periodontium and compare them to their level in periodontitis patients. Patients and Methods: Seventy five participants, both male and female, who took part in this study had their salivary ALP assessed. There were three groups formed from the participants: the first group clinically healthy periodontium control group (n=15), second group consisted of generalized periodontitis stage II and III (n=30), and third group healthy gingiva on reduced periodontium (n=30). Each group systemically healthy. The entire unstimulated salivary samples were taken, and all subjects underwent a periodontal evaluation, which included the assessment of clinical periodontal parameters (PLI, GI, BOP, PPD, and CAL). The concentration of ALP in saliva is measured using the ELISA method. Results: A moderate positive significant correlation was found between ALP with CAL in periodontitis and positive weak significant correlation between ALP and CAL in excessive brushing group , as well as; the result revealed that The mean of salivary ALP was significantly lower in the control group(20.33IU/L) than both the periodontitis and the excessive brushing group, while between periodontitis(72.50 IU/L) and excessive brushing (68.73 IU/L) there was no significant difference. Conclusion: Healthy gingiva on reduced periodontium caused by excessive brushing is associated with high salivary levels of ALP.

Background : Periodontitis is caused by a microbial invasion and an inappropriate immunological reaction of the host One of the mechanisms in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis is alterations in the local and/or general markers of oxidative stress. In order to defend themselves from the action of oxygen-free radicals, Organisms that use oxygen in their cellular metabolism are supplied with defense systems. The term "the system's antioxidative barrier" is frequently used to describe them. superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of the enzymatic antioxidants that preserves the cell against reactive oxygen species by removing superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide, Melatonin is natural hormone in the body with antioxidant effects. Aims: T he aim of this study is to evaluate the salivary levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Melatonin in patients with localized periodontitis versus generalized periodontitis. Patients and Methods: Whole saliva samples were collected from 90 patients that divide into three groups: 35 generlized periodontitis , 35 localized periodontitis ,and 20 healthy subjects, Salivary samples were collected from patients prior to clinical examination, Then levels of (SOD) and melatonin in saliva were determined spectrophotometrically using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results : salivary levels of both SOD and MLT were highest in control group and decreased in Localized periodontitis and generalized periodontitis with lowest level in generalized periodontitis with significant differences between groups. Conclusion: Both localized and generlized periodontitis are associated with a decrease level of antioxidants

Background : Background: Body weight and its perception are important aspects of health and constitute a significant role in physical and mental well-being. Aims: To estimate the prevalence of body weight misperception among adult females in Basrah city and to show the main determinants that affect their weights , perception. Materials and Methods: This is a cross–sectional study conducted during the period from the 2nd of January to the 1st of December 2020 on a sample of adult females who attended primary health care centers in the city center of Basrah Governorate/South of Iraq, 400 adults agreed to participate and completed the interview. The researchers designed and used an interview questionnaire, all females who included in the study were interviewed, their weights and heights were measured. Results: The study showed that about half of the studied females 211(52.7%) misperceived their body weights. The association between body weight misperception and age was highly significant (p=0.001), there is no significant association with the other studied characteristics. Conclusions : The study showed that approximately half of the studied females misperceived their body weights. Females tend to perceive their weights accurately as their ages increase. Highest percents of weight misconception are for obese females who misperceived themselves as overweight and then for underweight ones who misperceived their weights as normal. Recommendations: Comprehensive intervention programs for women could be devised to raise self-awareness of their weight status, to overcome weight misperception, and to prevent obesity and its related health risks
