Evaluation of Nurses' Attitudes towards Patients’ End of life in Diyala Governorate
...Show More Authors

Abstract:

Objectives: To assess nurses' attitude toward end of life phase. To find out  relationships between nurses attitude and socio demographic data (age, gender, level of education, years of experience).

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study design is carried out to assess the attitude on nurses concerning patient at the end of life phase at critical care units, from the period of (1nd November 2021) to (1th February 2022). A probability sample random sampling technique used. Then, the number of participants in Baquba Teaching Hospital and general al khalis hospital were determined by using randomly selected. simple Total of (100) nurses working at critical care units through the time of the study period and the study criteria and agree to participate. Pilot study were excluded ten nurses from the study. the result of co-relation co efficient were (79%).The content validity of the questioner is obtained by panel of (14) experts. inferential statistics and Descriptive were used to analytic the results of the study using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 and Microsoft Excel (2016).

Results: study results of this showed  the level of attitude nurse's toward End of life care together with nurses working in diyala city in Iraq were (poor 0%, fair 51%, and good49%). There is no significant difference between nurses’ attitude toward care of the dying patient (number of training course, area of employment).

Conclusions: nurses have moderate level of attitude, and there is no significant difference between nurses’ attitude toward care of the dying patient (number of training course, area of employment).

Recommendations: The recommended  of study is necessity of evolving Education or training that can enhance nurses behavior toward End of life care. investigate  relationship amonng religion and spiritual of nurses and their attitude toward end-of-life care.

Micropaleontological aspects of the "Calcite Eyes" phenomenon in the family Orbitolinidae
...Show More Authors

The presence of the "calcite eyes" is related to an internal physiological reason rather than genetically reason or parasite inhabitation. The individual of this family tries to create open spaces in the areas of its body intensively crowded by the main partition or its branches to avoid oxygen scarcity (dysoxic condition). This mechanism keeps the living matter in touch each to the other as well as continuity of the animal life. After death and burial, these created spaces are filled with pure calcite, as it is the case in the chamber passage. This phenomenon took place in both megalospheric and microspheric generations.

Morphological and Histological Structure of the Liver in Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus )
...Show More Authors

 Morphological description and histological structure of the liver have been studied in Durra bird Melopsittacus undulatus. The liver is a bilobed organ , the left lobe with three secondary lobes and slightly larger than the right lobe which is elliptical in shape. Liver is surrounded by a capsule that consists of thin layer of connective tissue with no distinction between interlobular septa . The parenchyma tissue consists of hepatic cells arranged with thickness 2_1 cell. Portal area appears within the liver parenchyma tissue composed of hepatic artery, portal vein and bile duct and supported by connective tissue. A gallbladder was not noticed in this species.

Identification of Klebsiella oxytoca by VITEK-2 System in Baghdad Hospitals
...Show More Authors

Background: Klebsiella oxytoca is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that is becoming resistant to multiple drugs and is frequently endangering patients' lives. It is a member of the human microbiota.

Objectives: To assess the value of identifying K. oxytoca using an automated diagnostic system (VITEK-2) as compared to traditional manual methods.

Materials and Methods: A total of 136 clinical specimens were collected from patients in Baghdad hospitals during a period from July to November 2022. VITEK-2 system was used to recognize the isolated bacteria to the genus and species level. The biochemical indole test was used as a confirmatory test at

The Use of Bracing Dampers in Steel Buildings under Seismic Loading
...Show More Authors

This study focuses on the modeling of manufactured damper when used in steel buildings. The main aim of the manufactured dampers is to protect the steel buildings from the damaging effects that may result due to earthquakes by introducing an extra damping in addition to the traditional damping.
Only Pure Manufactured Dampers, has been considered in this study. Viscous modeling of damping is generally preferred in structural engineering as it leads to a linear model then it has been used during this study to simulate the behavior of the Pure Manufactured Damper.
After definition of structural parameters of a manufactured damper (its stiffness and its damping) it can be used as a structural element that can be added to a mathematica

Numerical Simulation of Flow in Rectangular Duct with Different Obstruction Heights
...Show More Authors

       In this study, a simulation model inside a channel of rectangular section with high of (0.16 m) containing two rectangular obstruction plates were aligned variable heights normal to the direction of flow, use six model of the obstructions height of (0.059, 0.066, 0.073, 0.08 and 0.087 m) were compared with the flow behavior of the same duct without obstructions. To predict the velocity profile, pressure distribution, pressure coefficient and turbulence kinetic energy flow of air, the differential equations which describe the flow were approximated by the finite volumes method for two dimensional, by using commercial software package (FLUENT) with standard of k-ε model two dimensions turbulence flow.

Arm Span to Height Ratio in Relation to Severity of Dyspnea
...Show More Authors

Background: Arm span is the closest physiologic measurement to standing height. Increased arm span to standing height ratio, which indicates a possible loss of height, due to aging, often results from osteoporosis-related vertebral collapse or other causes. This has possible consequences on lung functions.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of aging related loss of height to severity of dyspnea.
Method: Patients visited pulmonary function test laboratoryat Baghdad teaching hospital outpatient clinic department from first of November 2009 to thirty first of December 2010 for preoperative assessment were recruited to participate in our study. All recruited subjects were evaluated with a clinical history and physical examination follo

Is the Clinical Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Justified in Endemic Regions?
...Show More Authors

Leishmaniasis is a transmissible infection brought about by an obligatory intracellular protozoan from the genus Leishmania.  It occurs worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions and can be burdensome in resource-constrained countries. The infection ranges in severity from mild cutaneous lesions to more severe and sometimes life-threatening visceral and distorting mucocutaneous sicknesses. Importantly, cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is prevalent in the Middle East with a pooled prevalence of 12%. It imposes a significant health and socioeconomic burden

Study of Some Biochemical Parameters in Iraqi Male Children with Thalassemia
...Show More Authors

Thalassemia is a term that refers to a group of genetic disorders characterized by a defect in the synthesis of hemoglobin. It is sometimes called Mediterranean anemia. Many biochemical changes in the blood accompany this disease. In this research, some biochemical parameters were measured in thalassemic patients and compared with healthy control group. These parameters include serum Iron, ferritin, TIBC, hemoglobin, uric acid, albumin, calcium, transferrin, and transferrin saturation percentage.  The results of the research showed that there is a significant increase (P<0.05)  in serum iron and ferritin in thalassemic patients group in comparison with healthy control group. A significant decrease (P<0.05) in serum uric a
