Analytic Study Of Congenital Malformations In Four Hospitals In Baghdad
...Show More Authors

 Background: Congenital malformations are responsible for a considerable proportion of perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality in many Eastern Mediterranean countries. So this study
aims to find out the incidence, types and probable risk factors of these malformations in Baghdad.
Patients and methods: one hundred cases of congenital malformations were studied out of 8090 neonates born in 4 hospitals in Baghdad province over 5 months in 2002 (preterm, term) .The incidence , types and risk factors were analysed.
Results: the incidence of congenital malformations was 12.36/ 1000 live births, with the central nervous system malformations being the commonest. There is increased risk in consanguinous marriages 27 (27%), mothers not attending antenatal care 25 (25%), mothers of low gravidity 60 (60%), and mothers not taking folic acid during pregnancy (86.7%).
Conclusion: Consanguineous marriages and mothers not taking folic acid during pregnancy are important risk factors for the occurrence of congenital malformations .So I recommend genetic counseling especially for consanguineous marriages, and giving all pregnant women folic acid before and during pregnancy. A multicentre study will give more broad idea about the incidence, types ,and risk factors in our country

An Anatomical-Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) Study on the Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) in the brain of Iraqi Patients
...Show More Authors

Summary
Background Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain are anomalies affecting different age groups of the population, and predisposing patients to significant neurological disability from stroke, epilepsy, or other clinical manifestations. Noninvasive modalities are revealing these lesions more frequently, and with more accuracy. Previous studies on Iraqi subjects with intracranial AVMs are scarce.
Objectives The aim of the study is to correlate the CT findings of intracranial ATMs with the clinical presentations, anatomic locations, the size, and the predictable origin of the arteries feeding these lesions and their venous drainage.
Patients and Methods The charts and CT scans offifty-four Iraqi patients with an AI

Imipenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients and hospitals environment in Baghdad
...Show More Authors

During 2011, 1900 clinical specimens and 240 hospital environment specimens were collected from four hospitals in Baghdad. 128 isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were obtained from clinical and environmental specimens in a percentage of 6.05% and 5.42%, respectively. The highest percentage of isolation, 83.62% was of sputum specimens and lower percentage of burns specimens 5.22%. The lowest incidence was of age range (71-80) years old group whereas the highest incidence was of age range (31-40) years old group. Also we found that the incidence was higher in males (66.96%) than that of females (33.04%) and the frequency of positive A. baumannii isolates was higher in intensive care units (ICUs). Results revealed eleven different resistot

Landslides Study in Bac Can Province, Vietnam by Analytic Hierarchy Process Method
...Show More Authors

     In recent years, landslides in mountainous provinces have been increasing. Whenever the rainy season comes, landslides occur, causing casualties to people and the infrastructure. Bac Can, which has suffered significant damage from landslides, is a mountainous province in the north of Vietnam. This study introduces the applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to study landslides in Bac Can province, Vietnam. Currently, the earth's temperature is rising, and natural and anthropogenic hazards in the mountain are causing hazards. Integrate elements of the DEM model with component maps and different precipitation scenarios as the basis for the author to issue landslide warnings under the climate change scenario with maximum day

''The use of factor analysis to identify the leading factors to high blood pressure.''A field study in Baghdad hospitals
...Show More Authors

Abstract :

    In view of the fact that high blood pressure is one of the serious human diseases that a person can get without having to feel them, which is caused by many reasons therefore it became necessary to do research in this subject and to express these many factors by specific causes through studying it using (factor analysis).

  So the researcher got to the five factors that explains only 71% of the total variation in this phenomenon is the subject of the research, where ((overweight)) and ((alcohol in abundance)) and ((smoking)) and ((lack of exercise)) are the reasons that influential the most in the incidence of this disease.

Assessment of Ambient Air Quality in Neonatal Incubators at Selected Sites of Baghdad Hospitals
...Show More Authors

     An infant incubator in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a medical instrument of care that provides oxygen, warmth and moisture to a newborn baby. Due to environmental conditions affecting the infants foster babies may experience discomfort and pain at some point. Thus, this study aimed to assess ambient air quality in neonatal incubators to improve the environmental quality of neonatal intensive care units and safety. Air pollutants concentrations consisting of particulate matter (pm2.5, pm10), hydrocarbons (HOCH), volatile organic compounds (VOC), air quality index (AQI), humidity and temperature, were measured at four selected Baghdad hospitals (Al-Karkh and Rusafa) . The results showed that the
