Background Dermal burns (partial thickness burns) are the most painful trauma with two types of pain background pain with additional procedural pain, one of the best tolerable mode of treatment that commonly used now adays is treatment with MEBT ointments to maintain the moist and warm wound environment suitable for regeneration of epidermal cells, and to reduces pain. Moist wound dressings retain moisture, heat, body fluids, and biofilm with medication. The assumption is that the polyethylene film will maintain the ointment and its effect more than to be used merely. Patients and methods Prospective study to evaluate treatment of patients with partial thickness burns conservatively with MEBT ointment as a control group and MEBT ointment + Cling Film, 63 patients being admitted to the burn center at Azadi teaching hospital during a period of one year starting from June 2018 till June 2019. The inclusion criteria including all patients between 10-95% partial thickness burns of various age, sex and skin types. Results Very much decrease in procedural and background pain, better joint movement in physiotherapy decrease in crust formation, increase maceration of eschar, better cost- effectiveness, less days of hospital stay. Aim; in Iraq circumstances we have to use the most cost effective measures to reach our goals in managing the burn wounds the moist trend which is now being proved it gives better healing with less pain, with best criteria of wound dressing . Conclusion Easily applicable, less painful, non-coasty over all, better condition of patient during course of management, reduced length of hospital stay and lower treatment costs, appropriate wound healing with living tissue , less joint stiffness problems

Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a highly host-specific virus belongs to the βherpesvirus subfamily, which is a leading cause of congenital infections. The immune cytokines such as Interferons-gama (IFN- ) may have direct inhibitory effects on HCMV replication and control of viral infections. Aim of the study: This research aims at determining the specificity of anti-HCMV antibodies for different HCMV antigens in relation to serum INF- levels. Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in Kirkuk governorate from April 2018 to June 2019. The number of pregnant women understudy was 400 women presented to some private medical laboratories. The pregnant women were examined for the seroprevalence of HCMVIgM and IgG by using ECLIA technique then their specificities determined for different HCMV antigens by using line immune assay, In addition to estimation the level of serum INF- levels by using ELISA technique. Results: The rate of HCMV-IgG , HCMV-IgM and both HCMV-IgG and IgM at the same time were 288(72 %), 32(8%) and 18(4.5%) respectively. Regarding the specificity of the determined HCMVIgM to various HCMV antigens (IE1, CM2, p150, p65, gB1 and gB2), the highest rate of HCMVIgG was 96.25% specific for gB1 antigen, while highest rate of HCMV-IgM were 96.87% specific gB1 and p150 antigen. Considering the specificity of these antibodies for the examined antigens in relation to serum INF- levels, the highest of pregnant women with increased INF- level had antibodies for IE1 antigen. Conclusions: There was significant relation of the serum INF- level with specificity of anti-HCMV antibodies to divers HCMV antigens.

1-Setting: The study was carried on at Kirkuk governorate hospitals, department of gynecology and obs Background: Uterine fibroid are benign tumors of women uterus, affect female in reproductive age group. Objective: To detect vitamin D deficient female and frequency of uterine fibroid. Patients and Methods: tetrics. 2-Methods: The study conducted on women with uterine fibroid, their age was ranging from 21-50 years. Vitamin D in serum was estimated using fluorescence immunoassay method. Results: It was found that vitamin D levels differ significantly between different age groups while there was no significant in relation to parity. Patients with bleeding had lowest vitamin level (11.74±4.92) while asymptomatic patients had highest value of vitamin D(17.16 4±10.79 ). Educated women had lower vitamin level than uneducated ones. Conclusion: Symptomatic patients and educated women had lower Vitamin D level than asymptomatic and uneducated ones

Objective This study is designed to assess the polypharmacy use by elderly patients having multimorbidity in Kirkuk, Iraq Methodology. This descriptive cross sectional study conducted over one year period (1 January 31 December, 2017) with 105 adults (75 females and 30 males) aged ≥65 years, who attended outpatient clinic of the Geriatric Medicine Department in Azadi Teaching Hospital in Kirkuk Province in Iraq. Patients with ≥2 considered as multimorbidity subjects and patients taking >5 medications considered as polypharmacy subjects. Data were collected directly from the patients by face-to-face interview technique Results The mean age was 70.49±3.88 years. The most common diseases were Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (n: 105, 100%). It was determined that (n: 95, 90.5%) of patients aged 65 to 74 years and (n: 10, 9.5%) of patients aged 75 to 82 years had multimorbidity, the difference between the two age groups was statistically significant. The mean number of drugs used by participants was 7.3±1.1 drug/ day, the highest polypharmacy was 6,7 and 8 drugs per day (n: 31, 29.52%), (n: 30, 28.57%) and (n: 30, 28.57%) respectively. There was a statistical significant increase in polypharmacy with the increase in the multimorbidity. Conclusion The prevalence of polypharmacyin multimorbid elderly patients was very high.
