Total no. of patient (100) stool samples were collected, during the period from February to the end of May of 2008, for children under two years old suffering from non-bloody and bloody diarrhea at (Children Welfare Teaching Hospital) in Baghdad. The study evaluates the relationship between etiological agent of diarrhea and sex, age group, type of feeding, presence of blood in stool of the patients. All samples were examined microscopically to identify parasitic agent and serological test for Rotavirus to identify viral infection, also biochemical and serological tested for specimen's culture on different culture media and antibiotic sensitivity test. Results show from 100 cases 64] represents the etiological agent of diarrhea and the most common of this agent was Rotavirus represent (37.5 %), respectively then Entamoeba histolytica (21.9 %), other agents were include Proteus (12.5 %), Enteropathogenic E.coli (10.9 %), Citrobacter braakii (7.8 %), Salmonella typhi (6.3 %), and Giardia lamblia (3.1 %). The remaining 36 isolates represent of unknown etiological agent for another's pathogen.The prevalence ratio of infection in male (75.0 %) was more than in female (25.0 %), in the first year of age especially in the age group (0-6) months (42.2 %). children depending on artificial feeding represent about (57.8 %) higher natural and mixed feeding, the bloody diarrhea associated with Entamoeba histolytica (57.1 %) in contrast to some etiological agent of non-bloody diarrhea. Eleven types of antibiotics were used for sensitivity test show all serotype of Enteropathogenic E.coli and Salmonella typhi are sensitive to Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin. The predominant serotypes of Enteropathogenic E.coli which represent serotype O111 and serotype O125 these strains show resistance to Cefotaxime (CTX), Trimethoprim-sulfamethaxazole (SXT), Ampicillin (AM), Metronidazole (MET), Cefoperazone (CEP), Cefixime (CFM), also the serotype O111 resistance to Gentamicin (CN) represent (45.0 %), while the most resistance of Salmonella was to Amikacin (100.0 %). This may reflect the fact that the increased resistance in older children and adult may be associated with the development of immunity or the loss of receptors for some specific adhesion. In Iraq Rotavirus infection is estimated to account for (10-29 %) in early childhood, While in neighboring countries the rate ranges between (19-46 %). The study show infected males more than female and the highest diarrheal infection was caused by Rotavirus, the Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin antibiotic was the most effective one against pathogenic strains of Enteropathogenic E.coli and Salmonella typhi while all isolates were resistant to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethaxazole, Ampicillin, Metronidazole.

Four species of insects, Carpophillus obsoletus Er., Carpophilus sp., Bitoma lycnformis Wall and Scatopse sp., were found in association with infected spathes of date palm with Mauginella scaettae Cav. The later fungus was the dominant species isolated in pure cultures both from diseased spathes and from contaminated insects. Bitoma lycriformis is the first record for Iraq.
This study, which was conducted in the city of Mosul, through collected 1200 samples from the stool of patients with diarrhea attending hospitals and private clinics for the period from the beginning of January 2019 to the end of December 2019, those whose ages ranged from less than a year-60 year, and for both sexes and by reality 700 samples stool for males and 500 samples stool for females. Samples were collected in clean, sterile, and sealed 40ml plastic bottles. Patient information is noted, name of the parasite, history, sex, age, address. The result showed that climate and temperature have a significant effect on increase the incidence of intestinal parasites through the direct effect on the increase in infection rate. This effect wa

Abstract
Objective(s): To assess the job satisfaction during of covid-19 among the nurses in respiratory isolation units of coronavirus disease.
Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional design was carried out in four hospitals at isolation units of coronavirus disease from the period (21th December, 2021 to 27th January, 2022). A non-probability (convenience) sampling method consists of (300) nurse was selected convenience based on the study criteria. The tool used to measure the job satisfaction is Job satisfaction scale for clinical nursing (JSS-CN). This tool consists of two parts, the first part is for demographic information and consists of 8 items, and the second

The present goal in doing this research was to determine how irisin concentration relates to other biochemical markers of disease. Hemodialysis (HD) for chronic kidney failure. The study included 30 individuals with end-stage renal disease on HD and 30 healthy subjects as the control group. The ages of all patients and the control group ranged from (25 to 60) years. The excluded criteria included patients with viral hepatitis and diabetes.

This study was conducted to investigate thyroid function and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in (Chronic kidney disease) CKD patients by evaluating their levels in CKD patients, 50 patients were diagnosed to have CKD stage-5, their ages ranged between 20-50 years (25 males and 25 females) who attended the Nephrology and Transplant Center in Medical City of Baghdad- Iraq, they were recruited from April 2018 to July 2018 and were enrolled into the study. The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals, their ages ranged between 20-48 years (10 males and 10 females). The study showed non-significant (p>0.05) increase in AMH level in CKD patients compared to the control group. On the other hand, TSH was recorded a highly significant (
