Background: The incidence of coronary artery disease and related mortality is expected to be raised dramatically in developing countries.Results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 revealed that cardiovascular diseases were the second leading cause of non-communicable diseases(NCD) burden. Aim of study: To estimate the prevalence, risk factors and short term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patient and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted among patients who were admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) at Baghdad teaching hospital, 3rd floor for the period from July/2019 to October/2019 where the patients were conveniently selected for participation after verbal consent was taken from them. Full history, examination, ECG, cardiac enzymes, Echo was done to all participants. Results: Fifty-four out of 500 patients with inclusion criteria were registered.70.4% of patients had STEMI and 29.6% had NSTEMI, the most common affected age group was 60-69 years old with the mean age being 59±11 years, and males were at greater risk with a male/female ratio 2:1The most common risk factor was hypertension (61%). Eighteen patients (33.3%) of study population developed complications,the most common complication was mitral regurgitation. Conclusion: Prevalence of myocardial infarction in our tertiary hospital was not common.The most common risk factor was hypertension.The complications of myocardial infarction were frequent and the acute mitral regurgitation was the most promin ent one.

It is very necessary to study human behavior in general, and in particular to study the be havior of children, since their behavior is subject to change and modification, and this is what modern science has directed towards caring for children and their behavior and preparing them in correct numbers, whether in schools or within families in order for them to be good individuals in their society , among this behavior is the personal and social adaptation of its great role in supporting the personality of the child during his upbringing, as well as his role in forming social relations with members of his sex. In the absence of a measuring tool for the researchers to let them know the reality o f personal and social adaptation, they built and codified a scale to measure this purpose on a group of Riyadh children and their count (110) children benefiting from the descriptive approach and appropriate statistical means in analyzing their responses and coming up with results that show us that there are different levels distributed to them children. It is very important to study the difference in these levels, since there are weak and very weak levels and for quite a few children in addition to the lack of a very good level of distribution, which means that there is a phenomenon that requires treatment, which is recommended by the researchers in the necessity to study these differences in levels of personal and social adaptation .

Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrine and metabolic diseases leading to impaired metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein. Hyperglycemiacoused by complete or relative insulin deficiency, insulin defective secretion and incorrect action. Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by microvascular lesions such as impaired blood flow regulation, increased vasopermeability, capillary basement membrane thickening, microaneurysm formation, capillary dropout, and eventually widespread nonperfusion and ischemia . Dicarbonyl stress is a dysfunctional state where methylglyoxal (MGO) and other reactive alpha-oxaldehyde metabolites accumulate as consequence of their increased formation or decreased activity of the detoxifying systems. In diabetic patients, MGO and MGO-related advanced end products (AGEs) are responsible for many diabetes-related complications.

Background: Early detection of breast cancer enhances the treatment and management before occurrence of metastasis. One of the ways of early detection is breast self -examination which is simple and noninvasive. Aim of the study: This study aims to assess the level o f knowledge and practice o f Breast Self-Examination among the female students in college of medicine /university of Baghdad. Material and methods: th is is a descriptive, cross sectional study, the data was collected by using a simple random sampling method, we collect data from 200 female medical students from University of Baghdad – College of Medicine, by sharing the link of the questionnaire among students social media group. Results: Age range of the study participants was from 17-25 years with a mean of 20.5 years. Most of them were aware of breast carcinoma, all females who heard about breast cancer heard about at least one sign of it. In this regard, we found that among the (200 students), 98.5% reported knowledge about the subject and 54.5% reported practicing breast self-examination. Doctors (44.5%) were the main source of informat ion on breast self-examination. Conclusions : Though most students are aware of the existence of breast cancer, there is insufficient practice o f breast self-examination. The study highlights the need for educational programs to increase awareness regarding regular breast cancer screening behavior.

Background: The incidence of placenta accreta is believed to be increasing globally. Serum pro brainnatriureticpeptide (Pro BNP) levels may be related with the abnormal invasion of placenta. Objective: To determine the benefi t of Pro-brain natriuretic peptide level asa biomarker to predict morbidly adherent placenta. Methods: A prospective case control study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at AlYarmouk Teaching Hospital in Baghdad for a period of one year from (April 2017 to April 2018). It involved 50 pregnant women diagnosed as placenta accreta (study group) and 50 pregnant women with placenta previa (control group) and matched for age, parity, gestational age and number of previous scars at the time of delivery. Allparticipants were submitted to blood sampling forthe determination of Pro-brain natriuretic peptide (ProBNP) concentration. Results: No statistical significant differences between study and control groups regarding age, Gestational Age, parity, Body Mass Index, and number of previous scars. The mean of Pro-brain natriuretic peptide (ProBNP) was significantly higher among patients in study group compared to control group(166.32 v ersus 77,21(pg/ml), P=0.001), The cut point of ProBNP was 133 pg/ml with AUC=76.8%, sensitivity= 56%, specificity= 94%, accuracy= 75%, PPV= 90.3%, and NPV= 68.1%, so this mean that all patients with ProBNP> 133 pg/ml can be diagnosed as placenta accreta. Conclusion: A significant association exists between Pro BNP levels and placentainvasion and may be a potential biomarker to aid in the antepartum prediction of placental accrete and may indicate degree of placental invasion.

The diabetic mellitus (DM) disease is a danger risk and a cause for rising public health anxietyat both develop and non-developing countries. T2DM is described by insulin resistances and/or abnormal insulin secretions from pancreas. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate: is a significant mammalian steroid hormone, the synthesis of this hormone from pregnenolone in the body. DHEA is a source of production of other hormones that the body need like estrogens and testosterone. Objectives : To study Serum DHEA-S hormone estimationas predictor of T2DM in relative with other limitations in diabetic patient. Material and Method : the study designed as case control experimental study was conducted on diabeticpatient at Al-Seder Hospital at AL- Najaf City-Iraq from February to April 2020. Results: the results of this study show there is significantly differences in (p< 0.05) between T2DM patients and control group, there is significant decrease in DHEA-S hormone levels at patient, while in regarding to thyroid hormones the T3 and T4 were significantly decrease on other hand TSH was increased. The lipid and sugar profiles were significantly increased at (P< 0.05). Conclusion : our study conducted There is a main relationship between DHEA-S hormone level and T2DM. This supports that DHEA-S level is reversely related with the diabetes progression.

Introduction: A tropical country like Indonesia is known for its two seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. Between the two seasons, there is also a transition period referred to as the transition s eason. Due to no small amount of standing water in the rainy season, the mosquito Aides quickly breeds to lay its eggs. The amount will continue to increase in the transition season because it is supported by sunlight causing the air and puddles to become warm. Objectives: The study aims to identify the experience of overcoming nausea and vomiting in dengue fever. Methods: This research uses a phenomenological qualitative research design. Participants determine by purposive sampling technique, totaling 7 participants, analyzing data using qualitative content analysis with the Collaizi approach. Results: An interesting finding in this study is that nausea when experiencing dengue is sudden and feels like catching a cold. Respondents overcome sickness by drinking warm water. During dengue, feelings of weakness forced respondents to keep eating intensely with a small proportion to keep having energy. Conclusions: Nausea and vomiting experience is not an essential thing felt by respondents as uncomfo rtable, and drinking warm water to relieve nausea must consider its safety and unknown side effects.

Participants determine by purposive sampling technique, totaling 7 participants, analyzing data using qualitative content analysis with the Collaizi approach. Results: An interesting finding in this study is that nausea when experiencing dengue is sudden and feels like catching a cold. Respondents overcome sickness by drinking warm water. During dengue, feelings of weakness forced respondents to keep eating intensely with a small proportion to keep having energy. Conclusions: Nausea and vomiting experience is not an essential thing felt by respondents as uncomfo rtable, and drinking warm water to relieve nausea must consider its safety and unknown side effects.","PeriodicalId":7958,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tropical Medicine and Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81810443","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}
