Evaluating of the Synergistic Effect of three Essential Oils on the Virulence Factors (resistance gene) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia fonticola Isolated from Wounds
...Show More Authors

     Depending on the high resistance to antibiotics, five isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 7 isolates of Serratia  fonticola were selected out of 150 bacterial isolates from burn wards in Baghdad hospitals, which were later identified by VITEK2. A susceptibility test was done by using 15 antibiotics. The results showed that all the selected isolates were resistant to antibiotics: AMP, CTX, CAZ, GEN, PIP, TIC and TMP especially, while they were sensitive to IPE. The essential oils of Aloysia citrodora (Family: Verbenaceae), Rosmarinus officinalis (Family: Lamiaceae) and Thymus vulgaris (Family: Lamiaceae) were extracted by the Clevenger. The synergistic effect of essential oils of these plants on bacterial growth were studied by determining the MIC of essential oils for P. aeruginosa and S. fonticola. The MIC concentration of P. aeruginosa was: 2500 ppm of A. citrodora, 2500 ppm of R. officinalis, 2500 ppm of T. vulgaris, whilst the synergistic effect of each two plants was:1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 2500 ppm of R. officinalis, 1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 312.5 ppm of T. vulgaris, 1250 ppm of R. officinalis with 156.25 ppm of T. vulgaris, whereas the synergistic effect of three plants was: 156.25 ppm of A. citrodora with 156.25 ppm of R. officinalis and 39.0625 ppm T. vulgaris. While the MIC concentration of S. fonticola was: 1250 ppm of A. citrodora, 5000 ppm of R. officinalis, 1250 ppm of T. vulgaris, whilst the synergistic effect of each two plants was: 1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 2500 ppm of R. officinalis, 1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 312.5 ppm of T. vulgaris, 1250 ppm of R. officinalis with 156.25 ppm of T. vulgaris, whereas the synergistic effect of three plants was: 312.5 ppm of A. citrodora with 312.5 ppm of R. officinalis and 78.125 ppm T. vulgaris. The results of bacterial gene expression showed that three isolates of P. aeruginosa had a mexB gene expression that ranged between 2.5 - 0.4 (concentration 1) and 2.8 to 0.6 (concentration 2). It increased in two isolates and decreased in one isolate. The melting point ranged between 90.91 - 91.280C compared with 89.89 to 90.330C for fbp gene. Whereas S. fonticola did not have blaKPc gene, instead it had blaTEM gene with the gene expression ranging between 2.4 - 0.1 (concentration 1) and 4.5 - 0.2 (concentration 2). The gene expression increased in two isolates and decreased in five isolates. The melting point ranged between 83.63 - 84.200C compared with 75.82 - 85.560C for gyrB gene.

Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections in Baghdad Teaching Hospital
...Show More Authors

Objectives: The objectives of the present study are to identify both, the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in medical
and surgical wards in Baghdad Teaching Hospital and the common types of microorganisms that cause this type of NIs,
study the resistance of isolated microorganisms to several types of antibiotic and the effect of some disinfection
material like Iodine, chlorhexidine and septicin on the growth of these isolates.
Methodology: This is descripƟve study carried out from 1\6\2009 to 1\11\2009. A total of 200 paƟents were admiƩed
to medical and surgical wards in Baghdad teaching hospital, paƟents were divided into two group 100 paƟents, in
surgical ward and 100 paƟents in medical ward. Some of impor

Polyvinyl Alcohol – Sodium Nitrite Water Soluble Composite as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Simulated Cooling Water
...Show More Authors

The inhibitive action of polyvinyl alcohol –sodium nitrite (PVASN) composite on the corrosion of mild steel in simulated cooling water (SCW) has been investigated by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization. The effect of composite concentration (PVA/SN) , pH, and exposure time on corrosion rate of mild steel were verified using 2 levels factorial design and surface response analysis through weight loss approach, while the electrochemical measurements were used to study the behavior of mild steel in (SCW) with pH between 6 and 8 and in absence and presence of (PVA) in solution containing different concentration of NaNO2. It was verified that all three main variables studied were statistically significant while their interaction is

Knee osteoarthritis
...Show More Authors

Osteoarthritis (OA) is recognized as a main public health difficult. It is one of the major reasons of reduced function that diminishes quality of life worldwide. Osteoarthritis is a very common disorder affecting the joint cartilage. As there is no cure for osteoarthritis, treatments currently focus on management of symptoms. Pain relief, improved joint function, and joint stability are the main goals of therapy. The muscle weakness and muscle atrophy contribute to the disease process. So, rehabilitation and physiotherapy were often prescribed with the intention to alleviate pain and increase mobility. Medical therapy provides modest benefits in pain reduction and functional improvement; however, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory dru

S-maximal Submodules
...Show More Authors

Throughout this paper R represents a commutative ring with identity and all R-modules M are unitary left R-modules. In this work we introduce the notion of S-maximal submodules as a generalization of the class of maximal submodules, where a proper submodule N of an R-module M is called S-maximal, if whenever W is a semi essential submodule of M with N ? W ? M, implies that W = M. Various properties of an S-maximal submodule are considered, and we investigate some relationships between S-maximal submodules and some others related concepts such as almost maximal submodules and semimaximal submodules. Also, we study the behavior of S-maximal submodules in the class of multiplication modules. Farther more we give S-Jacobson radical of ri
