The study was aimed to investigate the morbidity of enteritis in goate from 2007 to 2011 by using 149 records contained veterinarian and breeding records from birth to yearling age to study factors refer to animals and that in relationship with enteritis morbidity included: breed, year, birth type, sex, birth weight, weaning weight, mother weight, season and age. General mean for enteritis incident rate was 0.94% and this not affected by birth type, sex, weaning weight, maternal weight, while significantly (p<0.05) affected by breed and birth weight and highly significant affect by year, season and age. This study indicated that local goats and shami have incidence rate received to 1.30% and 1.36% while for cross goats (local x Shami) and (Shami x cross) was 0.67% and 0.68% respectively, incidences variance among years the lower was 0.71% for year 2009 while occilated for other years between 1.11% and 1.04% for 2007 and 2011 respectively. According to twin and triplet neonatal their incidence higher than single one and were 1.02%, 1.01% and 0.97% respectively. Male and female equalities in their morbidity. The higher incidence was 1.12% for heaviest neonatal more than 4Kg and reduced for weights between 2-4Kg received to 0.94%, in the other hand neonatal with weaning weight less than 12Kg their lower morbidity percentage was 0.98%, while spread among those with weight more than 20Kg received to 1.03%, but according to mothers with weights lessthan35Kg and more than 50Kg their natal morbidity percentage were 1.01% and 1.02% and reduced to 0.98% for natal due to mother with weights between 35-50Kg. The occurrence of disease variance among different season received to 1.09%, 1.04%, 1.03, 0.86%, in spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively. This study observed that incidence rates for buckling and dueling were 0.58%, 1.33% for pre weaning and 0.67%, 1.45% for post weaning to local and Shami goats respectively. Heritability for incidence rate due to enteritis received to 0.54. Correlation coefficient between enteritis disease and each of breed and birth weight and age 0.213 (p <0.01), 0.060(non significant), 0.227 (p <0.01) respectively, correlation coefficient between breed and each of birth weight and age 0.113 (non significant) and 0.532 (p < 0.01), while correlation coefficient between birth weight and age received to 0.007 (non significant).
Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) are among the common psychiatric disorders and constitute a major public health concern. Iraqi’s were exposed to widespread violence and wars in the last decades. High prevalence of alcohol and substance use was reported recently in Baghdad. Research literature documented the association of SUDs with exposure to trauma events e.g. wars, terrorist attacks and natural disaster. Published articles on SUDs among prisoners in Iraq are scarce. Therefore, this work was carried out to report on SUDs among prisoners in Al-Diwania governorate and its relation to antisocial activity.
Methods: A total of 1200 prisoners in Al-Diwania civilian prison were included in the stu
Introduction: COVID-19 vaccine have been indicated to successfully decrease the hazard for symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection furthermore associated hospitalisations. Objective: To study the immune response among different types of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Methods: This study includes 100 vaccinated individuals (43 Sinopharm, 30 AstraZeneca and 27 Pfizer) with one or two doses from different health centres in Baghdad. During the period from April 2021 to the end of May 2021, SARS-CoV-2 IgG and SARS-CoV-2 IgM levels were detected using AFIAS-6 device depending on FIA (Fluorescence Immunoassay) technique. Results: 93% of the cases were positive for IgG levels, and negative in 7% case

Its` incidence is increased in babies who have intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), are small for gestational age (SGA), and are born post term. Many infants with polycythemia are asymptomatic. However, it may be associated with feeding problems and lethargy.
Objectives: This work aimed to study the polycythemic neonates admitted to neonatal care unit in children welfare teaching hospital, medical city complex, Baghdad, including demographic features, risk factors, management and early outcome.

Mental disorders (MDs) are a common problem in Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs). Many people with serious MDs are challenged by symptoms and disabilities that result from the disease and by stereotypes and prejudice due to misconceptions about mental illness. This study aims at evaluating the knowledge, and attitude toward mental health concepts and services and causes of the reluctance to seek those services among people attending PHCCs. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The random sampling technique was used to include (10) of Directorates of Health (DoHs) coverage north, middle, and south of Iraq. The study was executed in (50) selected PHCs, (5) PHCCs in each DoH involved randomly selected (30) people attending th

Background: Neonates (0–1 months) have different anesthetic requirements. Safe anesthetic management depends on full appreciation of the physiological, anatomic, and pharmacological characteristics of this age group. One of important difference in neonates is easy development of reflex bradycardia and cardiac standstill during anesthesia. These characteristics, differentiate them from adults, and necessitate modification of anesthetic equipment, medications, and techniques.
Objectives: To evaluate the role of atropine in prevention of reflex bradycardia in neonatal anesthesia.
Patients and methods: This is a prospective study done on 30 neonate patients in &

Coronavirus has affected many people around the world and caused an increase in the number of hospitalized patients and deaths. The prediction factor may help the physician to classify whether the patient needs more medical attention to decrease mortality and worsening of symptoms. We aimed to study the possible relationship between C reactive protein level and the severity of symptoms and its effect on the prognosis of the disease. And determine patients who require closer respiratory monitoring and more aggressive supportive therapies to avoid poor prognosis. The data was gathered using medical record data, the patient's medical history, and the onset of symptoms, as well as a blood sample to test the
