Objectives of this project were to study the effect of 60% crude alcoholic extract of the seeds of cyperus esculentuson induced endometritis in the mice . The plant of cyperus esculentuswas extracted by preparing Alcoholic extract 60% . One hundred microliters of saline containing Escherichia coli (104cfu) was used to induce endometritis, by a single intracervicallyinjection, and endometritis developed after 2 days from injection. The mice were divided into five groups, The first group were treated with alcoholic extract of cyperus esculentusextract 150mg/kg body weight, the second group was treated with a daily 3mg per kg body weight of gentamicin given intra peritoneal,The third group was treated by 75mg/kg of cyperus esculentusextract and 1.5mg/kg of gentamicin, The fourth group was treated by distilled water given orally by stomach tube, treatment of mice in these groups continued for 14 days while the the fifth group was (negativecontrol group). The results of the packed cell volume (P.C.V.)%, hemoglobin (Hb)g/dL of mice in alcoholic extract group(T1)after 7 days of treatment showed significant improvement as compared with mice in induction group (T4) andafter 14 days of showed no significant increase (P≤ 0.05)as compared with mice in control group (T5). While in gentamicin(T2) treated group after 7 and 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T4) and (T5) , furthermore the mice in alcoholic extract and gentamicin treated group(T3) after 7 and 14 days showed significant decrease as compared with (T5) in addition showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared (T2). Total white blood cell count and all differential white blood cell of alcoholic extract group(T1)after 7 days of treatment showed significant improvement as compared with (T4) and after 14 days of treatment showed no significant increase (P≤ 0.05)as compared with (T5). While the (T2)after 7 and 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) as compared with (T4) and (T5) while the eosinophil percentage showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T5). While (T3)after 7 days showed no significant important as compared with control group, but after 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease as compared with control group, in addition showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T2). the results of fertility index shown in alcoholic extract treated group (T1) and alcoholic extract and gentamicin treated group (T3) was increased as compared gentamicin treated group (T2). The results of body weight and uterine weight showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) in alcoholic extract treated group as compared with control group and mice in gentamicin group.After 7 and 14days of induction with E.coli intrauterine infection revealed presence of inflammatory cellswithin the endometrial glands and surrounding glands, glandular epithelium is degenerating and the lumen contains cellular debris) , while the groups that treated with both extract and gentamicinshowed cellular debris within the glandular endometrium. group treated with the extract for 14days noticed cellular debris within the glandular endometrium and few inflammatory cells around the endometrial glands. Thegroup treated with Gentamicin for 14days of inductionshowed also degenerating of glandular epithelium and aggregates of inflammatory cells surrounding degenerating glands and presence of hemosiderin around glands, the control group showed normal uterine tissue

Industrial development has recently increased, including that of plastic industries. Since plastic has a very long analytical life, it will cause environmental pollution, so studies have resorted to reusing recycled waste plastic (sustainable plastic) to produce environmentally friendly concrete (green concrete). In this research, producing environmentally friendly load-bearing concrete masonry units (blocks) was considered where five concrete mixtures were compressed at the blocks producing machine. The cement content reduced from 400 kg/m3 (B-400) to 300 kg/m3 (B-300) then to 200 kg/m3 (B-200). While (B-380) was produced using 380 kg/m3 cement and 20 kg/m3 nano-sil

This experiment presented essential oils by GC/MS, pigment content, and their antioxidant activities as well as sensory evaluation of delight samples. Limonene (66.88%) was the most prevalent yield. The peels of clementine had DPPH and ABT Scavenging activity. All levels of pigment extract had better scores for all sensory values and recorded acceptable scores in terms of appearance, color, aroma, and overall acceptability compared to control delight. Besides, delight samples containing 15 mg astaxanthin pigment extract showed maximum sensory scores compared to other samples and control delight. On the other hand, the product was less acceptable to the panelists compared to control in the case of the addition of 3.75 mg astaxanthin pigme

Objectives: To determine the impact of an educational program on nurses’ knowledge
and practices concerning neurogenic bladder rehabilitation for spinal cord injured persons
through a follow-up approach each two months post program implementation for six
months.
Methodology: "Follow-up" longitudinal design by using time series approach of data
analysis and the application of pre-post tests approach for the study and the control
groups. The study was carried out at Ibn Al-Kuff hospital for (SCI) in Baghdad governorate
from 5th of July 2010 to 15th of October 2011. To achieve the objectives of the study, a
non-probability (purposive) sample of (60) nurses (males and females) were working in SCI
units were selec
This research was aimed to study the exposure of Razzazah Lake to major hydrological changes in recent years as a result of natural climatic changes and drought, high evaporation in lake due to stop discharge from Habbaniyah Lake by Al- majera channel. During 2019, we collected surface water samples at three locations, and three samples from groundwater, in addition one samples from each location Imam Ali Drop and Sewage water of Karbala. The Results show that the heavy isotopes in lake and groundwater well are enriched during the warm period, and depleted during the cold period. Chemically, The dominant cations and anions in Al-Razzaza lake water are mainly of in Order Ca > Na > Mg and Cl>SO4 and the water

The study included isolate and diagnose fungus Fusarium solani of the local soil and purified and development in the PDB medium and the filtrate extracted using a solvent (Ethyl acetate) to obtain the fungal secondary metabolites extract. This extract has shown bioactivity against both reference isolates (E.coli (ATCC25922) and S.aureus(NCTC6571)) and pathogenic isolates S.pyogenes, K. pneumonia and S.typhimurium using agar disk diffusion technique , The diameters of the inhibition zones of fungal secondary metabolites24.0 mm against E.coli and 31.5 mm against S.aureus,and 34.0 mm against K.pneumoniae and 18.0 mm against S.pyogenes and 33.5mm against S.typhimurium. The test revealed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the fungal
