Molluscum Contagiosum” is a common skin disease caused by”molluscum contagiosum virus". It is primarily transmitted by direct contact of viral particles of infected skin and the human is the natural host. In adults, most of the cases are transmitted by sexual contacts.The friendly kissing habit could be responsible of transmission of “molluscum contagiosum” infections. A clinical descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Ramadi Teaching Hospital and Private Dermatological and Maxillofacial Clinics, Ramadi City, Anbar Governorate, Iraq. From august 2019 to April 2020. Patients more than fifteen years old, with” molluscum contagiosum” of the face were enrolled in this study. A through history was taken regarding age, genders, marital status, residence and drugs intake. The questionnaire contains history of kissing habits as greeting behavior besides the other roles that suspected in spreading of infection. A total of 45 patients were recruited. Their mean (± SD) age was 37±17.8 years (range 15–59 years); 39(86.7%) were males, and 6(13.3%) were females. The right cheek kisser was the most common habit in 36(80%) patients, while 9(20%) patients had the both sides kisser. Other routes of infection also reported but with small percentage. This report showed that ” molluscum contagiosum” infection with high frequency which involved the right side of the face was in 33(73.3%) patients, and which had low frequency was in 6(13.3%)patients for each left or both sides of the face. ” Molluscum contagiosum” of the right side of the face was statistically significant associated with the right cheek kisser, p < 0.05. In conclusion, Friendly kissing as a greeting can play important role in the spread of “molluscum contagiosum” infection. Furthermore, social pressure to discontinue face kissing habit as a greeting or restrict kissing of right shoulder (covered with cloth).

Pathogenic bacteria isolated from cow milk represent play a major role in mastitis and are not easy to treat even with the use of a wide range of antibacterial agents. Finding alternative substances that may eliminate those bacteria with less side effects especially if they are derived from natural sources. Here, guava (Psidiumguajava L.) leaf extracts (GLE) of six solvents; n-hexane (HGLE), methanol (MGLE), ethanol (EGLE), ethyl acetate (EtGLE), and chloroform (CGLE) were used to evaluate their Mueller-Hinton-II based inhibition activities against Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. (isolated from milk of local cows in the current work). The results showed that the CGLE was highly effective in decreasing the growth of the selected bacteria, followed by, EtGLE, MGLE, and EGLE when compared with the ciprofloxacin control. The findings revealed that HGLE did not show any activity in inhibiting those bacteria. The present study presents promising compounds for treating mastitis caused by these bacteria; however, clinical trials showed be performed to estimate their therapeutic doses, safety, and effectiveness.

3 CAMB, FIBM (Med), FIBM (Rheum), Department of Rheumatology, College of Medicine, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq Corresponding author: Raed Kadhim Naeem, Email: raaedkadhem@gmail.com Abstract Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is typically complex and multifactorial autoimmune disease.Viral infections, mainly latent, have been major environmental factor that induce autoimmune diseases in genetically predisposed people. Objectives: To investigate the association of HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV Infection in SLE patients compared to the control group, and to assess the possible role of CD8+ cells in the pathogenesis of SLE and with the accompanied HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV viral infections. Material and methods: Serum levels of HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV antibodies in SLE patients and apparently healthy controls were determined by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). And by using flow cytometry, the number and percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in SLE patients and healthy controls were determined. Results: A significant increase in seropositivity of HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV IgG antibodies in SLE patients compared to control group. Also, a significant increase in the number of CD4+ and CD8+ compared to control group. Decrease in the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T cell was found in the patients with SLE.Moreover, a significant decrease in CD4/CD8 ratio with increased CD8 cells in SLE patients, especially in patients with high SLEDAI scores.VZV antibodies were found to be significantly associated with low disease activity (<0.05), while HSV-1 and HSV-2 did not show any association with disease activity SLEDAI. Moreover, VZV antibodies were found to be negatively associated with CD8 cells and positively associated with CD4/CD8 ratio in SLE patients.In the control group, HSV-1 was found to be associated with HSV-2 and VZV antibodies. Conclusion: Increased seropositivity of HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV antibodies in SLE patients compared to control group.Also, an increase in CD8 count with reduced in CD4/CD8 ratio in SLE patients especially with high disease activity SLEDAI scores suggests that changes in T cell phenotype and CD8+ T cells activation are involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that affects the population in urban areas. But several recent research shows that the incidence of dengue has spread to rural areas, where urban areas act as reservoirs of the virus to areas with the scope of the smaller communities . Objectives: This study aimsto analyze the spatial and mapping distributionof DHFwith geographic information system (GIS) to inform efforts in reducing prevalence of DHF. Methods: This study is a descriptive study, using a cross sectional approach with a simple random sampling method, and a sample size of 95.This study was conducted in PanonganSubdistrict, Tangerang and data was analyzed using spatial and statistical analysis . Results: The results showed that the largest number of respondents came from MekarBakti village with 28 cases. Distribution of DHF cases based on age 49 (51.6%) are males, and 46 (48.4%) are females. Theproportion in the case group aged <15 years was23 (24.2%), and ≥15 years were 72 (75.8%). Conclusion: Efforts to eradicate disease must be donenot only by government, but also with community involvement. Eradication of dengue can be done with community empowerment that encourages preventative practices, such as draining, closing, and burying the water reservoir, among others. Other prevention strategies for preventing mosquito bites and breeding such as use of mosquito nets, repellent, cleaning up stagnant water as well as other environmental policies should also be strengthened.

Other prevention strategies for preventing mosquito bites and breeding such as use of mosquito nets, repellent, cleaning up stagnant water as well as other environmental policies should also be strengthened.","PeriodicalId":7958,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Tropical Medicine and Public Health","volume":"13 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91425183","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}

Occupational hazard poses a danger to individual in working environment in addition to the consequences such as fatal accidents, minor to serious injuries and immediate allergic and systemic effects. The purpose of this study was to identify the relation betweenthe quality of life (QOL) and occupational hazards among the Mosul City Cement factory workers.The test used the descriptive method. The study was carried out in factory of Hamam AL-alili. The sample size was (185) workers selected by convenient sampling. Data collection was conducted in February 2020.The instrument development by researcher depended on (Ware et al., 2002) included three parts: (A) Part 1: personal data questionnaire, which includes (age, years of experience, educational level, department, residence andnature of work) (B) Part II: questions to assess occupational hazards among cement factory workers. (C) Part III: measures the quality of Life. The study noted that more than double of staff didn't know about noise issues (61 percent), whereas more than half of them understood that accident exposure was one of the insufficient lighting problems. Most employees have found that the accidents or injuries and respiratory issues are respectively considered the issues that arise due to exposure to mechanical and chemical hazards. Of the staff, approximately (55.1 percent) had moderate rates of QOL.In conclusion,these researchers found a highly important discrepancy between the QOL of staff and noise and ventilation as physical risks, electrical risks and chemical hazards.
职业危害除了造成致命事故、轻微到严重伤害以及直接过敏和全身影响等后果外，还对工作环境中的个人构成危险。本研究的目的是确定摩苏尔市水泥厂工人的生活质量(QOL)与职业危害之间的关系。试验采用描述性方法。研究是在Hamam AL-alili工厂进行的。采用方便抽样法，选取185名工作人员。数据收集于2020年2月进行。研究人员依赖于(Ware et al.， 2002)开发的工具包括三个部分:(A)第一部分:个人数据问卷，其中包括(年龄，经验年限，教育水平，部门，居住地和工作性质)(B)第二部分:评估水泥厂工人职业危害的问题。(C)第三部分:衡量生活质量。研究指出，超过两倍的员工(61%)不知道噪音问题，而超过一半的员工知道事故暴露是照明不足的问题之一。大多数员工发现事故或伤害和呼吸问题分别被认为是由于暴露于机械和化学危害而产生的问题。大约55.1%的员工有中等的生活质量。综上所述，这些研究人员发现员工的生活质量与噪音和通风的物理风险、电气风险和化学危害之间存在非常重要的差异。
