Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) are common and recurrent, particularly among females. Treatment often involves various antimicrobial agents, but rising resistance poses challenges. We conducted a study in Al-Hussein Medical City, Kerbala, enrolling 520 UTI patients from April 2022 to February 2023. Urine samples were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility. Results showed high resistance to most agents, except meropenem and levofloxacin. Our findings emphasize the urgent need for strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance in UTIs. Highlights: High resistance in UTI treatment observed. Urgent need for antimicrobial resistance strategies. Study reveals E. coli resistance patterns in Kerbala's medical setting. Keywords: Urinary tract infections, Escherichia coli, Antimicrobial resistance, Al-Hussein Medical City, Kerbala

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on Alopecia Areata (AA) severity, particularly focusing on gender differences. Data from 65 AA patients (30 vaccinated, 35 unvaccinated) and 1,602,596 healthy controls were analyzed. Physical examinations, laboratory tests, and Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) scores were used. Results showed a significant increase in AA severity among vaccinated individuals, especially males, with Pfizer's vaccine having a stronger effect post-second dose. These findings highlight the need for continued research and monitoring of AA post-COVID-19 vaccination. Highlight: Severity Rise: COVID-19 vaccination linked to increased Alopecia Areata severity, especially in males. Pfizer's Impact: Second dose shows stronger Alopecia Areata association than AstraZeneca. Continued Monitoring: Emphasizes need for ongoing research on vaccine-autoimmune disorder interactions.

Abstract

Pregnant women with chronic hypertension face elevated risks during pregnancy, necessitating effective management strategies. This study evaluates the potential benefits of combining low-dose aspirin therapy with calcium channel blockers, particularly nifedipine, in this population. Thirty-seven participants were enrolled between July 2015 and September 2017, receiving combination therapy as part of their treatment regimen. Results indicate effective blood pressure control without significant adverse events, with 36.8% experiencing preeclampsia but no severe cases reported. Neonatal outcomes were generally favorable, although 15% of babies were classified as small-for-gestational-age, all achieving Apgar scores between nine and ten. These findings suggest promising outcomes with combination therapy, emphasizing the need for further research to optimize management approaches for pregnant individuals with chronic hypertension. Highlight: Controlled blood pressure: Combination therapy effectively manages blood pressure in chronic hypertension. Lowered severe complications: Potential reduction in eclampsia and placental abruption risks. Positive neonatal outcomes: Favorable Apgar scores and reduced small-for-gestational-age incidence. Keywoard: Chronic Hypertension, Pregnancy, Combination Therapy, Low-Dose Aspirin, Calcium Channel Blockers

Abstract

In this study, membranes made from chitosan, a natural polymer derived from shrimp shells, were investigated for their ability to remove toxic methyl orange (MO) dye from water. The membranes were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, and the maximum absorption wavelength of MO dye was determined via UV-Visible spectrophotometry. Solutions of varying MO concentrations were passed through the chitosan membranes, and their absorbance was measured before and after filtration. Results showed high removal rates ranging from 85% to 95%, with the highest efficiency observed at 20 ppm MO concentration. This research highlights the potential of chitosan membranes as effective and sustainable solutions for water purification, addressing a crucial environmental and health concern posed by toxic dye pollution. Highlights: High removal rates: Chitosan membranes remove dye efficiently (85%-95%). Eco-friendly: Derived from shrimp shells, chitosan offers sustainable water purification. Advanced analysis: Infrared spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectrophotometry characterize membrane properties. Keywords: Chitosan membranes, Water pollution, Methyl orange dye, Removal efficiency, Environmental sustainability

Abstract

This study compares two water injection patterns (line drive and five-spot) using CMG software in a cubic reservoir model based on Buzergan field data. Line drive injection showed higher water cut rates due to direct water flow, while the five-spot pattern distributes water flow across the area, resulting in lower water cuts. Economic analysis favors the line drive pattern for its lower setup cost and reduced water injection requirements. These findings offer insights for optimizing injection patterns and maximizing oil production in reservoir management. Highligt: Injection Pattern Comparison: Direct vs. Distributed Water Flow Analysis. CMG Software Simulation: Accurate Reservoir Modeling and Analysis Tool. Cost-Effective Optimization: Maximizing Oil Production with Economical Injection Strategies.

Abstract

Wound and burn infections present ongoing challenges in healthcare due to multidrug-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to identify bacteria from these infections, assess antibiotic resistance, and evaluate treatment efficacy. Samples from 86 patients were cultured and tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Imipenem showed effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria, while ciprofloxacin was more effective against Gram-positive bacteria. Rifampicin demonstrated reduced sensitivity. Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae were prevalent, indicating increasing multidrug resistance. These findings emphasize the need for tailored treatment strategies to combat antibiotic resistance effectively in wound and burn infections. Highlight: Resistance Challenge: Addressing antibiotic resistance in wound and burn infections. Tailored Treatment: Importance of customized approaches for effective antibiotic management. Predominant Pathogens: Identifying prevalent bacteria to guide targeted treatment strategies.

Abstract

Ionizing radiation, with 18% from man-made sources, is widely used in medical imaging, posing significant hazards. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice of 125 radiology staff in Basrah, Iraq, using a cross-sectional design from February to June 2023. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS version 26. Results showed 66.4% of respondents had good knowledge, with higher scores among males and those with higher education, particularly doctors. Positive attitudes were seen in 95.2% of participants, but correct practices varied significantly, and 88.8% had not undergone training on radiation hazards. The study underscores the need for improved training and education to enhance radiation safety awareness and practices. Highlights: Knowledge Levels: 66.4% showed good radiation hazard knowledge. Training Gaps: 88.8% lacked radiation safety training. Education Impact: Higher education, especially doctors, improved knowledge and practices. Keywords: Ionizing Radiation, Radiation Hazards, Radiology Staff, Knowledge Assessment, Safety Practices
