CUT-OFF VALUES OF BLACKCURRANT, LONDON PLANE AND PINE BUDS ON VANCOMYCIN RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCI ISOLATED FROM MASTITIC MILK IN BAGHDAD
...Show More Authors

Generation of new clones of multidrug resistant infectious foci of environmental, zoonotic and reverse zoonotic Enterococcus faecalis & faecium strains from cases of mastitis in cows privileged in Baghdad ecosystem reveal unsafe tricks. Medically important plants Blackcurrant, London Plane and Pine Buds are widely used for resolving these public health threats and hazards as powerful antimicrobial preparations. Totally sixty pooled milk samples were collected from apparently healthy (30 units) and infected (30 units) Cows from different regions of Abu-Ghraib during March until July (2019). Integrated units were checked by California mastitis test and a designed scheme was dependent for recovery of pathogenic Enterococci. Gram staining and catalase was proceeds. VITEK 2 (bioMérieux) technology ribbon biochemical identification system was used to segregate faecalis strain from faecium one. Group D Enterococci were confirmed by Lancefield’s serological grouping. Biofilm-formation assay was followed as an important biomarker clue for antibiotics resistance barriers. Modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assay using Muller-Hinton agar was dependent for checking susceptibility of recovered strains to selected antibiotics Penicillin, Methicillin, Vancomycin, Amikacin & Ciprofloxacin. Watery & alcoholic extracts of selected plants were prepared according to recommendations of Codex international standards of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) & modified disc inhibition assay with determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC titer) & minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC titer) were proceeds. Chi-square analysis via SPSS software was dependent. Qualified data descriptions regarding recovery of seventeen (28.33%) strains out of sixty samples in which, ten (16.66%) strains were recovered from mastitic milk units & seven (11.66%) strains were recovered from apparently abnormal milk units. Ten (16.66%) strains were confirmed as E. faecalis: Seven (11.66%) clones from mastitic milk units versus three (5%) clones from apparently abnormal milk units. Seven (11.66%) strains were confirmed as E. faecium: Five (8.33%) clones from mastitic milk units versus two (3.33%) clone from apparently abnormal milk units. All recovered strains were Gram-positive purple beaded cocci, Catalase negative, Lancefield group D & biofilm-producing. All strains were very resistant to all selected antibiotics. Diverse efficacy index was present among selected plants extracts in which, active ingredients index revealed powerful inhibitory level & titer for London Plane followed by Pine Buds then Blackcurrant against these powerful multidrug resistant recovered clones. In conclusion, frequency & distribution of pathogenic multidrug resistant foodborne Enterococci in our ecosystem represent privileged hazard chain of contamination that can be reduced or overcome by natural antimicrobial replacements like these extracts.

This study was conducted to test the effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts for cyperus rotundus on the mitosis in tap roots of Allium cepa. the result of general an identical qualitative tests showed contains certain compounds that of crude aqueous and alcoholic extract, Used as five different concentrations of (10, 20.38, 56, 75) mg / ml for a period of four hours of treatment. After the chemical has been detected for some preliminary chemical compounds of the crude aqueous extract, while the alcoholic extract either phenol compound has been detected for phenols using several techniques included the use of thin layer chromatography TLC and measurement of disability factor RF and the degree of fusion and measurement of absorbance.

The Impact of Osteoporosis on Teeth Decay in relation to Salivary Vitamin D among Menopause in Baghdad city, Iraq
...Show More Authors

 

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder that has an impact on general health, dental health and salivary composition. The mineralization of teeth happens simultaneously with that of the skeleton, but if mineral metabolism is disrupted, tooth failures will resemble those that affect bone tissue. Vitamin D plays a key role in bone and tooth mineralization.

Objective: to evaluate the impact of osteoporosis on teeth decay in relation to salivary vitamin D among menopause in Baghdad city.

Subjects and Methods: This study was cross sectional study. The study group consists of

RAILLIETINA ECHINOBOTHRIDA (MEGNIN,1881) (CESTODA: CYCLOPHYLLIDEA) FROM THE HOUSE SPARROW PASSER DOMESTICUS BIBLICUS HARTRET, 1881 COLLECTED IN BAGHDAD CITY, CENTRAL IRAQ
...Show More Authors

    The widespread house sparrow Passer domesticus biblicus has a close association with humans and  inhabits almost all ecosystems near human settlements in Iraq. It is exposed to different kinds of parasites in its habitats. Examining of house sparrow for the cestode parasites revealed that 25 specimens of 56 were infected with Raillietina echinobothrida. Intensity among infected male and female hosts with this cestode and its description  is provided and discussed. The present finding constitutes the first record for this parasite in house sparrow in Iraq.

Background:

Education by lectures has been standard for 100 years or more. Given the 21st century technology, people can connect with others around the world instantly, electronically. With the pandemic, teaching changed to one-way information transfer with the loss of interpersonal learning experience. SNI® and now SNI Digital have been experimenting with different forms of communication to transfer information.

Methods:

Using an interactive education model, a meeting for neurosurgeons in Baghdad was held for students, residents, and neurosurgeons

In vivo Study of Effects of Citric from Aspergillus Niger and Lemon Juice on the Hormonal Level and Histoarchitecture of the Testis
...Show More Authors

To study the qualitative changes in testis tissue after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration and to determine whether citric acid (CA) has a protective effect against testis damage induced by CCl4. This study compared two types of CA by measuring the histoarchitecture of the testis and serum levels of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone on mice. One of the most produced organic acid is citric acid. In this study, CA produced by microbial fermentation using Aspergillus Niger 5mg/kg and derived from citrus limon 400mg/kg (lemon). Mice were treated with daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection for seven successive days after randomly separated into six groups: (1) control, (2) CCl4 (0.02%), (3) limon citric acid (400 mg/kg), (4) CCl4 (
