Antagonistic Activity of Bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus Against Candida spp
...Show More Authors

     In order to screen antifungal activity of lactobacilli that produce bacteriocin against the yeast Candida, ninety-two food and clinical samples were collected. Also, several commercial brands of Lactobacillus probiotics and ready-made isolates of Lactobacillus were used. The isolated lactobacilli were subjected to microscopic, macroscopic, and biochemical tests. Moreover, molecular identification was performed for the best producer isolate. For Candida spp. isolation, seventy- two samples were collected from different clinical sources; in addition, nine of ready-made isolates were also used. All the isolated Candida spp. were subjected to microscopic and macroscopic examinations which were confirmed by VITEK® 2 YST card automated system. Detection of bacteriocin production from Lactobacillus was investigated by primary and secondary screening techniques and the results showed that the agar wells diffusion method was the best. The most efficient isolate to produce bacteriocin was L. plantarum WZD3, in which antifungal activity of bacteriocin was at the level of 80 and 40 AU/ml against the most sensitive Candida isolates; C. albicans CA and C. albicans CB, respectively. After partial purification of bacteriocin by n-butanol extraction method, bacteriocin activity was increased to 320 AU/ml against both yeast isolates. In conclusion, L. plantarum WZD3 or its bacteriocin could be a good candidate as antifungal agent to treat Candida infections and more studies are required to evaluate its acivity against other types of medical fungi.

The use of screw retained hybrid arch bar for maxillomandibular fixation in the treatment of mandibular fractures: A comparative study
...Show More Authors

Introduction: The use of screw-retained hybrid arch bars (HABs) is a relatively recent development in the treatment of mandibular fractures. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcome between HAB and the conventional Erich arch bar (EAB) in the closed treatment of mandibular fractures. Materials and methods: This study included 18 patients who were treated for mandibular fractures with maxillomandibular fixation (MMF), patients were randomly assigned into a control group (n = 10) in which EAB was used and study group (n = 8) in which HAB was used. The outcome variables were time required for application and removal, gingival inflammation scores, postoperative complications, and incidence of wire-stick injury or gloves perf

...Show More Authors

Background: five clinical phases were described in patients with chronic (HBV) infection: HBeAg- positive HBV infection, HBeAg- positive chronic HB, HBeAg negative HBV infection, HBeAg-negative CHB and occult HBV infection.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the incidence of the unclassified phase (gray zone) in chronic hepatitis B patients and its significant in the clinical practice. 

Patients and methods: The study was conducted retrospectively on 109 patients' who have HBsAg positive for more than 6 months. The data recorded include; HbeAg and anti-HBe Ab, ultrasound of the abdomen, HBV DNA load and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), accordingly; we classify the patients

Relationship of the quality of life in capecitabine-treated colorectal cancer patients to sociodemographic characteristics and drug-related adverse effects
...Show More Authors

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide with 1.80 million new
cases and 862,000 deaths in 2018. Depending on the stage, upfront surgery is the main form of treatment,
followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Many drugs were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
for the treatment of CRC, one of which is Capecitabine. During cancer treatment, patient-reported symptoms
and quality of life parameters can provide additional information to evaluate and compare the efficacy and
toxicity of the treatments. Despite the importance of this issue, there is no published data that evaluates this
vital parameter in Iraqi patients receiving anti-cancer drugs, in general,

Abstract<p>Three cultivars of the crop Almash (Green Indian VC6089A10, Green Indian VC6173B1319, and Black Indian Gold Star) were tested in a field experiment during the 2022 growing season in Ramadi, Anbar province, to determine the impact of spraying levels of zinc (0, 25, and 50) mg Zn L<sup>-1</sup> and manganese (0, 30, and 60) mg Mn L<sup>-1</sup> on some growth characteristics. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates, with each treatment being tested in a separate split plot. The study found that there were statistically significant differences between zinc levels, with the level giving 50 mg Zn L<sup>-1</sup></p> ... Show More

Experimental Investigation of Pomegranate Peel and Grape Seed Powder Additives on the Rheological and Filtration Properties of Un-Weighted WBM
...Show More Authors

   The chemical additives used to enhance the properties of drilling mud cause damage to humans and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to search for alternative additives to add them to the drilling mud. Thus, this study investigates the effects of pomegranate peel and grape seed powders as natural waste when added to un-weighted water-based mud. The test includes measurements of the rheological properties and filtration, as well as the alkanity and density of the drilling mud. The results showed a decrease in PH values ​​with an increase in the concentrations of pomegranate peel or grapeseed, and a decrease in mud density with an increase in powders of pomegranate peel and grape seed concentrations that resulted f
