Objectives: to compare health of mothers and neonatal among age groups, to find out the correlation between
age groups and mother and neonatal health.
Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out at delivery rooms of three teaching hospitals in Baghdad city
from Feb. 28th through May. 28th
, 2013. A purposive (non-probability) sample of 300 laboring women was selected
from delivery rooms categorized into three groups, group 1 (≤19) years, group 2 their age between (20-35) years
old and group 3 their age (≥35) years. The data were collected through the use of constructing questionnaire, an
interview technique with mothers and reviewing their medical records as means of data collection; The
questionnaire consist of 3 parts: (1) demographic data (2) health of mothers during pregnancy (pregnancy
complications) (3) neonate health status. The validity of the study questionnaire was determined through a panel
of experts and the reliability of the study questionnaire was determine by the application of pilot study.
Descriptive statistical analysis procedure (frequencies and percentages) and inferential data analysis procedure
(chi-square, P-value, split- half approach and Cronbach's Alpha correlation coefficients) were applied for data
analysis.
Results: the finding of the study indicated that the highest percentages of all the study groups were primary school
graduates, urban and housewives. More than half of mothers in group 1 (teenage mothers) and group 2 (20-35)
years were related to their husband, while the highest percentages of mothers in group 3 (advanced maternal age)
were not related to their husband. The highest percentages of complications present in group 1 (teenage mothers)
were anemia, urinary tract infection, multiple pregnancy, Oligohydramnios, poly-hydramnios, intra uterine growth
retardation, Post-term labor, low Apgar score, low birth weight, congenital anomalies, respiratory distrees
syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome and neonatal death. The highest percentages of complications present
in group 3 (advanced maternal age) were pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, antepartum
haemorrhage, pre-term labor, premature rupture of membrane and macrosomia. There is a statistical significant
correlation between age groups and hypertension and preterm, Apgar score, neonatal weight and respiratory
distress syndrome.
Recommendations: Care providers need to be aware about the increasing of obstetrical and neonatal health
complications in the extremities of maternal age (teenage and advanced maternal age) and adjust obstetrical and
neonatal management protocols to ensure optimal maternal and neonatal health
The present study aims at identifying the effect of organizational pressure with its aspects (management, work team, nature and conditions of work, external environment) on job performance in all its dimensions (commitment and effort made, capabilities and the rapidity of performance, motivation and job satisfaction, work environment) for the university teacher at the Faculty of Economics, Commercial and Management Sciences at the University of Djelfa, Algeria.
In this research, the descriptive analytical approach is used. Data was collected through the distribution of a questionnaire to a sample that included 130 permanent teachers before being analyzed using the (SPSS) statisti

Show MoreImaging by Ultrasound (US) is an accurate and useful modality for the assessment of gestational age (GA), estimation fetal weight, and monitoring the fetal growth during pregnancy, is a routine part of prenatal care, and that can greatly impact obstetric management. Estimation of GA is important in obstetric care, making appropriate management decisions requires accurate appraisal of GA. Accurate GA estimation may assist obstetricians in appropriately counseling women who are at risk of a preterm delivery about likely neonatal outcomes, and it is essential in the evaluation of the fetal growth and detection of intrauterine growth restriction. There are many formulas are used to estimate fetal GA in the world, but it's not specify fo

There are hormonal changes in both estrogen and progesterone hormones in addition to bacterial effect and poor oral hygiene that will enhance development of periodontal disease in pregnant women. Materials and methods: Seventy subjects were enrolled in the study, the subjects with an age range (20-35) years old without any history of systemic disease. The subjects were divided into 20 non-pregnant women they represent the control group (G I), 30 pregnant women with gingivitis (GII) and 20 pregnant women with periodontitis (GIII).All periodontal parameters (plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth an

To make a comparison between the selective attention, cognitive load, and the mistakes of thinking among students in term of gender. To identify the relationship among the selective attention, cognitive load and the mistakes of thinking of university students. To achieve these purposes, the searcher has developed a test for selective attention, cognitive load, and the mistakes of thinking. Then, these tools were applied to a sample of (200) university students were selected from (21) college. The researcher used t-test of one sample, t-test of two independent

The inserts used in this study are carbide inserts coated with TiAlN (Titanum, Aluminium and Nitride) for machining a shaft of stainless steel 316L. Finite difference method was used to find the temperature distribution. The experimental results were done using infrared camera while the simulation process was performed using Matlab software package. The results showed that the maximum difference between the experimental and simulation results was equal to 19.3 , so, a good agreement between the experimental and simulation results was achieved.

These shapes are U and S-shapes, both shapes structures were formed by one segment of coreless fiber (CF) was joined between two single mode (SMF) lead in /lead out with the same displacement (12.268µm) at both sides, the results shows the high sensitive was achieved in a novel S-shape equal 98.768nm/RIU, to our knowledge, no one has ever mentioned or experienced it, it’s the best shape rather than the U-shape which equal 85.628nm/RIU. In this research, it was proved that the offset form has a significant effect on the sensitivity of the sensor. Addi
