The study aims to biosynthesized of sliver nanoparticle from aqueous extract of olive leave and evaluate the effectiveness of the synthesis AgNPs against isolated fungi. The study mediating fifty samples were taken from various tools in laboratory from five hospitals in Baghdad. Four species of fungi were identified depending on the morphological and microscopic characteristics. The most common isolated fungi based on their frequency ratio were as follows Aspergillus niger 87.5%, Aspergillus flavus 62.5%, Aspergillus fumigatus 53.5% and Aspergillus nidulans 37.7%.The Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle developed a rapid, eco-friendly and convenient green method for the stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesised with an average diameter of 30 ± 60 nm and like spherical in shape, using the aqueous solution of the Olive tree (Olea europaea) leaves extract.The reaction is carried out at 10-3M of silver nitrate. The AgNPs synthesized were confirmed by their change of color to (dark brown-grey). The characterization was studied using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Inhibition effect of AgNPs against fungi has been studied using well diffusion method by studying the effect of different concentration (100, 75, 50 and 25). The results revealed that the AgNPs have considerable antifungal activity comparison with alcohol. The obtained results indicate that the highest level of inhibition zone was detected at the concentration of 100 µg/ml of AgNPs, where the inhibition zones are (23.33 ± 4.41) for A. flavus and the lowest level of inhibition zone was detected at the concentration 25 µg/ml of AgNPs ,where the inhibition zones are (6.00 ± 1.15) for A.nidalus. While using alcohol the highest level of inhibition zone was detected at the concentration of 100 µg/ml of Alcohol, where the inhibition zones are (12.33 ± 1.45) for A.nidalus, and the lowest level of inhibition zone was detected at the concentration 25 µg/ml of Alcohol ,where the inhibition zones are (4.67± 0.33) for A.flavus.
This study has been undertaken to investigate the mineralogical properties and morphological features of sand fraction in some soils of Baghdad / Iraq.The morphological features of sand fractions were studied by Polarized optical microscope. Results have shown that the grains of these minerals from samples of sands have different colors, those from the surface horizons have dark brownish spots, due to staining by organic matter, and have a yellowish– to yellowish brown spots due to accumulation of Iron oxides.Results of light minerals indicated that quartz is dominant due to effect of parent material of these soils. Two types of opaque minerals (black and brown) are found, whereas t
The influence of Toxoplasma gondii in the pathogenesis of hepatic disease has lately had considerable attention. The objective of this study is to assess the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in patients with chronic liver disease from Baghdad-Iraq. All patients have attended Gastroenterology and Hepatology Teaching Hospital, Medical city in Baghdad, Iraq An analytical case–control study was achieved from September to November 2018. Seventy male patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and 70 control males (free of chronic liver diseases) participated in this study, their ages were between (18-80) years old. Serum samples were taken from all subjects and were analysed with enzyme-linked imm

Show MoreAbstract: The aim of this study was to identify the Distress Tolerance among the Employees in Media and Communication in Baghdad.and to identify the significance of the differences between sex ,scientific specialization ,age,and marital status. and the researcher used the Distrees Tolerance measure for Simon &Gahar 2005. The sample of the study consisted of(37)Employees.The Scale of Distrees Tolerance were used as the study tools after being checked for their Validity and Reliability. The research results indicated that employees have high scores on the scale of stress tolerance and that there are statistically significant differences between the age groups and between married and unmarried people a

Food patterns and specific diet components could have a big role in such tumour occurrence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical signs and inspect the neoplasm lesions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract grossly and histopathologically in dogs in Baghdad, Iraq, and to see whether pet diets had any tumourigenic effect. Throughout two years sixteen dogs were referred to Teaching Animal Hospital and private clinics at Baghdad city with masses in (GI) tract. Males and large size breeds were more likely to be affected with GI tumours. Half of the cases a
