Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E.coli)
No full textA total of 40 Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolates were recovered from women urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Al-Hilla teaching hospital, and private clinics. Isolates were identified to species level with a VITEK-2 system. Among the 40 women of UTI, 27(67.5%) had been preceded by a prior UTI and 13(32.5%) had not. The susceptibility to 4 antibiotics were tested using disc diffusion test, resulting in 9(33.3%), 7(26%), 3(11.1%), 1(4%) were resistant to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and nitrofurantion, respectively with prior UTI. For detection extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E.coli, all 40 isolates were tested by using double-disk test method, and then confirmed by using combination disk test. The results showed that 10 (25%) were β-lactamase producing isolates.
A comparative study between propofol vs. thiopentone plus Lidocaine effects on hemodynamic changes during laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in urological surgery in Baghdad hospital.
Get PDF During the induction of general anesthesia, the stability of hemodynamic parameters is very important. In an idealy, all patients would be care by their anesthetists adequately to reduce all risks without interfering with the soft running of the operating list. The hemodynamic instability throughout anesthesia can be decrease by using numerous pharmacological agents and combinations have been prepared for that. Thiopentone and Propofol are intravenous anesthetics having comparatively diverse hemodynamic influences and adverse effects. Appropriate maintenance of airways securing during surgical operations is considered as the basic fundamental responsibility of an anesthesiologist. By using the modern laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with sufficient muscle relaxation, appropriate anesthetic depth and airways reflexes depression, the common problems of airway management as well as the complications after LMA insertion procedure are preventing. Our study aimed to assess the comparison effects of two anesthetic induction agents (propofol vs. thiopental- lidocaine admixture on the hemodynamic changes (heart rate (H.R), respiratory rate (R.R), oxygen saturation (SpO2), Blood pressure systolic (S.B.P) and diastolic (D.B.P) during LMA insertion for four (4) different time intervals (pre induction, at induction, at LMA insertion as well as after 5 min after LMA insertion). The current study was enrolled in Baghdad educational hospital includes one hundred fifty (150) patients who were divided into equally groups, (115 male and35 female)75 for each group, aged (20-60) years, all patients were submit to ASA (I, II), physical grade planned for elective surgical operations under general anesthesia(G.A). All the patients were evaluated clinically, assessed and investigated prior to surgery. The allergic history or adverse reactions of barbiturate or propofol were excluded. Patients were divided into: Group (A) is receiving 2.5mg/kg (I .V) of propofol as an induction agent (n=75), and Group (B) is receiving 5mg/kg (I.V) thiopentone plus lidocaine2mg as an induction agent also (n=75). The induction induces by either propofol or thiopentone as induction agent
Determination of the Role of T-Helper 17 and 22 vs T-reg Cells in Patients with Molluscum Contagiosum
No full textMolluscum contagiosum is skin disease and well known by dermatologists, the causative agent is a pox virus. Infection, usually self-limited within few months in individuals with a normal health and immune system. From 205 case females recorded 95(46.3%) and 110(53.7%) males. The results showed that there were a highly significant increment in concentration of IL-17A (132.66 ± 24.7pg/ml) compared with control group which was (42.59±13.4pg/ml). Results also showed that there is highly significant increment in concentrations of IL-23P19 (112.33 ±17pg/ml) compared with control group which was (21.11±9.6pg/ml). Also documented data declared a highly significant increment in concentrations of IL-22 (77.11±8.8pg/ml) in comparison to control group which was (18.11±12pg/ml). The relative expression of the gene FoxP3 gene showed increment in patients group (17.723 ± 1.227) compared with control group which was (2.133±1.234), results of NFAT gene showed increment in patients group (13.676±2.223) compared with control group which was (2.743±1.133) and result of AP1gene showed increment in patients group (3.7883±1.234) compared with control group which was (1.8766±0.889). These findings indicate the potent immune response against the virus infection which belongs to Th-17 and 22 and the controlling mechanisms through the regulatory T-cells which maintain the response in the normal levels

Study of the Structural and optical properties of Pure and Sn doped Polyaniline hydrochloride polymer (PANI) thin films prepared by Spin coating method
No full text In this study the structural and optical properties of pure and Sn doped films polyanilinehydrochloride (PANI) doped by Tin (Sn) with volumetric percentages (3, 6, and 9)%, which prepared by using the spin coating method on substrates of the glass at room temperature. The structural properties of the prepared films were studied by x-ray diffraction technique. The results illustrate amorphous structure .The atomic force microscope (AFM) diagnosis has led the doping process to decrease in the roughness of the surface and the average rate of the square root with the variation in particle size distribution. The study of the optical properties by measuring then absorption and transmission spectra as a function of wavelength (320-910) nm to the pure and doped film of PANI, the results showed that the transmittance decreased with increasing doping due to the increase in the impurity resulted which makes attenuation in the intensity of incident light with a increasing of absorption. The results also showed that the polymer has an indirect allowed energy gap and it decrease with increasing doping because of the doping levels (Sn) inside the optical energy gap.http://dx.doi.org/10.31257/2018/JKP/10010
