Objectives: The study aims at finding the effectiveness of dietary habits on urolithiatic patients at Urinary Units
in Baghdad Teaching Hospitals.
Methodology: A quantitative descriptive study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of dietary habits on
(100) of urolithiatic patients in Urinary Units at Baghdad Teaching Hospitals starting from May 2011 to Sep.
2012.Data were collected through the use of constructed check list of the questionnaire format, which
consists of two parts: - The first part: is related to the patient's demographic variables ; the second part: is
constructed to serve the purpose of the study (effectiveness of the dietary habits). The total number of items
of the questionnaire is (69) items. Validity of the questionnaire format was determined through a panel of (23)
experts and the reliability is determined through a pilot study. Descriptive statistical analysis procedures (the
frequency, and the percentage) is used for the data analysis of this study.
Results: The data of this study shows that the urinary tract system (UTS) stone formation (SF) is: {Activated
(increased) by fried foods, soft drinks (Pepsi cola and Coca cola), tea, red meat, eggs, ice cream, tomato,
potato, pepper, urinary tract infection (UTI), obesity, hot areas, low education; and, Inhibited (decreased) by
water, coffee, cacao, natural raisin and apricot ( fresh, syrup, dry), Artificial beverage (Seven up, Miranda),
herbs, milk, cheese and butter, white meat (chicken, fish), vitamins}. So, it would be concluded that there is a
clear effect of ''dietary habit'' on urinary stone formation.
Recommendations: The study recommended that the patients should be given booklets or manual guides

dietary habit by preventing certain materials and increasing others to avoid stone recurrence; Advised to drink
liquids especially water 3-4 l/day, Never delay urine voiding, and add the Milk to tea to decrease tea's
promotion to stone formation because the tea is high content of oxalate).
This paper reports on the experimental study, which conducted a series of triaxial tests for the asphalt concrete using hydrated lime as a mineral additive. Three HMA mixes, prepared by the specification for wearing, levelling and base layers, were studied under three different temperatures. The test results have demonstrated that, compared with the control mixes excluding HL, the permanent deformation resistance of the HL modified mixes has significant improvement. The deformation has been reduced at the same load repetition number, meanwhile the flow number has been considerably increased. The degree of improvement in permanent deformation resistance using HL is more pronounced at high stress deviation states and high temperature.
