Study the Effect of Biofilm Production on Antibiotic Resistance in Proteus mirabilis Isolated from Clinical Samples in Kirkuk City
Get PDFProteus mirabilis is one of the most infectious organisms that inhabits the environment and causes a various infections involving those of the skin, respiratory tract, wounds and urinary tract. One of the main virulence features in P. mirabilis that plays a role in the pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance is the ability to form biofilm. The aim of study was to determine the relation between the antibiotic resistance and the biofilm formation by P. mirabilis. A total of (205) samples were collected from different clinical samples (urine, wound and burn swabs) in Kirkuk city hospitals. (32) Isolates were identified as P. mirabilis. Eight antibiotic discs were used for the antibiotic sensitivity test by disc diffusion method. Also, a micro titter plate method used for the detection of biofilm. The results of the antibiotic sensitivity showed variation in the rates of antibiotic resistance, doxycycline 29(90.6%), Trimethoprim- sulfamethaxole 27(84.37%), Ampicillin 22(68.75%) and amoxicillin/clavulanic 21(65.62%) resistance were found in the majority of the isolates. Gentamicin and cefotaxim (37.5%, 40.6%) respectively were moderate resistance, while Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin have low resistance and consider the most effective medication against P. mirabilis. The results showed 8 (25%) of P. mirabilis strong biofilm producer, 13 (41.6%) moderate biofilm producer, 8 (25%) weak biofilm producer and 3 (9.37%) non-biofilm producer. The study concluded that there is a link among biofilm production and antibiotic resistance

Dyslipidemia poses a significant risk of many complications for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: Article Review.:
Get PDFAbstract:
The most prevalent chronic illnesses to be identified and treated collectively are dyslipidemias. They are typically identified by triglycerides serum, cholesterol, or both, Atypical levels of related lipoprotein species, including high of very low density lipoproteins VLDL, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, and a predominance of small dense LDL particles, are also present. are all signs of diabetic dyslipidemia. Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) alone may result in dyslipidemia due to disruption of lipids metabolism. Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance may exacerbate dyslipidemia in diabetic patients with CKD. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus bear a disproportionately high burden of cardiovascular disease , the primary global origin of morbidity and mortality, with the proportion of CVD attributed to diabetes rising in the general population . A significant microvascular consequence of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy (DR). among developed countries, it is the most frequent cause of blindness among people of working age. The most prevalent neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, has a variety of clinical symptoms connected with it. After the age of 50, it typically occurs, and people with long-term diabetes mellitus are more likely to experience it. However, macrovascular pathogenesis is also involved. It begins with microvascular damage to the tiny blood arteries that nourish the nerves. The aim of writing this article is that the imbalance of fats and their high concentrations in the human body of a patient with type 2 diabetes generates many complications, which over time are dangerous complications that threaten the life of a diabetic patient and lead to his death if these complications are not controlled because the high levels of sugar and fat in the human body It plays an important role in the development of the patient's condition

The Economics of Bee Honey Production in Nineveh Province for the Production Season 2021
No full text The weakness of technical and economic knowledge of beekeepers is one of the factors affecting profit as well as the optimum production volume achieved for economic efficiency, which led to economic problems, among those problems is the decrease in the quantities supplied from bee honey production. The research aimed at studying the most important factors affecting the profit function as well as estimating the function production costs. Cross-sectional data were used in the light of a random sample that included (120) beekeepers from Nineveh Governorate. The results of estimating the profit function showed that the parameters of the function agreed with the logic of the economic theory and the statistical and standard tests. It was shown by the size of the parameters of the function that the amount of output has a great importance in profit compared with the rest of the price variables and the average production costs. As for the ratio for estimating the function of total costs, the results of the study showed that the cubic model is the most suitable for therelationship adopted in the study according to economic theory and statistical and standard tests. Depending on the cost function only, the volume achieved for the economic efficiency of honey production was obtained at the level (10,386) kg / cell. The study also showed that the technical efficiency in honey production amounted to (86%), as well as the estimation of the maximum production volume for honey in the short term, which amounted to (13.885). We infer from the study that the economic resources used in the production process were not optimally invested, which led to a decrease in production efficiency. The results of the studyrecommend working to follow production policies aimed at increasing the economic efficiency of a single cell and achieving optimal use of available resources, which is reflected in an increase in efficiency in the use of productive resources and an improvement in the efficiency of honey production

Intelligent System to Transformer Slang Words into Formal Words
Get PDFUnderstanding and utilizing informal words not recognized in standard dictionaries poses challenges for users. These words are specific to certain communities, hindering comprehension for those outside. Natural language processing tasks, like translation and summarization, struggle with informal vocabulary and local dialects. Although existing models can translate informal words, comprehensive solutions are elusive due to regional and contextual variations. Developing natural language processing models that consider informal words and local dialects is crucial for future research. This paper presents an updated dataset of informal English words tailored to current usage. Multiple models from the Transformer core library on the Hugging Face platform were trained and evaluated, with the facebook/bart-base model demonstrating high accuracy (training data loss: 0.05299).
