Evaluation of in vitro activity of Calvatia craniiformis extract against bacteria isolated from pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common disease associated with pregnant women due to several anatomical and hormonal changes in pregnant women lead to ureteral dilatation and urinary infection, many of microorganisms such as fungi, viruses, and bacteria have numerous virulence factors that enhance their ability to colonize in pregnant women. Some bacteria have resistance toward many antimicrobial agents for treatment has led to therapeutic difficulties worldwide, in order that many investigators try to test fungal extract to reduce bacterial infection.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of extract of Calvatia craniiformis on different types of bacteria which was isolated from pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Materials and methods: One hundred five vaginal swabs were collected from pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria attending to Al-Batool hospital for maternity and children in Diyala Governorate during the period from 1st /April /2012 till 1st/ July/2012.

All specimens were streak on blood agar and MacConke ager, then identified according to standard bacteriology and biochemical criteria. The susceptibility patterns toward 6 antimicrobial agents were done by disc diffusion methods, 40% Calvatia craniiformis extract used for study the effect of this extract against different types of bacteria .

Results: Fifty fife out of 105 samples (52.38%) were demonstrated negative bacteria growth while 50 out of 105 samples (47.61%) demonstrated positive bacteria culture. The isolated revealed that 22 Escherichia coli, 15 Klebsiella, 11 Proteus, and 2 Staphylococcus saprophetec. The majority of bacterial isolates were sensitive to 40% concentration of extract of Calvatia craniiformis.

Conclusion: Extract of Calvatia craniiformis was effective as antibacterial against antibiotic resistant strain.

Digital technologies in the means of communication

Modern digital technologies have affected the means of communication in terms of structure, function and methods of dealing with them, and the communication process has changed, becoming bilateral, reciprocal and interactive, after it was one-way and limited in circulation and the roles changed, so the receiver became the sender and reversed is correct, and the culture of the active user and the participant spread, and the communication process became continuous.
The international information network has provided new electronic channels in the media and communication that are not known and opened a new era for these means, which led to a trend towards digital media in an unprecedented way.
The new communication platforms are the re

PALYNOLOGICAL STUDY OF GENUS Pterocephalus IN IRAQ

This research was aimed to study the pollen morphology for the genus Pterocephalus(Vaill)  from Dipsacaceae family in Iraq, and to utilize these feathers in isolating the species as valuable taxonomic traits for enriching Iraqi flora. The study included characteristics of the type, shape, size, sculpturing and apertures, as well as determining the full dimensions using light microscopy as well as numerical analysis of this species and draw polygonal shapes and denderogram  convergence between species. The results of the study of pollen and polygonal forms showed significant differences in the characteristics at the level of each species, which helps to identification the genus species, as it was found that the pollen was a tricolp

ROLE OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI IN EYE DISEASES

The study conducted to investigate the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and eye diseases (Glaucoma, Cataract, CSR and Uveitis). One hundred and four patients with multiple eye disorders (10-80) years were observed from 10/9 to 18/11/2020 and compared to thirty-one healthy people (19 female and 12 male). Both participants were tested for anti-H. pylori IgA, and IgG antibodies using ELISA. There were non –significant differences (P≥0.05) in the concentration of anti-H. pylori IgA Abs in sera of patients with Glaucoma, CSR, and Uveitis compared to the control group, but there was a significant difference (P≤0.05) in the concentration of H. pylori IgA Abs in sera of patients with Cataract compared to the control group and

Applications of Discriminant Analysis in Medical diagnosis

In this paper, the discriminant analysis is used to classify the most wide spread heart diseases known as coronary heart diseases into two groups (patient, not patient) based on the changes of discrimination features of ten predictor variables that we believe they cause the disease . A random sample for each group is employed and the stepwise procedures are performed in order to delete those variables that are not important for separating the groups. Tests of significance of discriminant analysis and estimating the misclassification rates are performed

Semiotics of Senses in the Holy Quran

This study is based on the basic idea: that human communication does not stop at the limits of words spoken, but extends to include the movements of the body and its members, such as the face, hand, eye, hearing, touch, taste, sensation and the public body.
The human movements represented by polarization, frowns, tattoos, and movements are all auxiliary tools that reach meanings and affect others greatly.
 Perhaps their importance is also in their ability to translate what is going on in the soul, and to show it to the outside body members, without the control of the human in many cases, it is thus an important factor in the process of human communication.
The purpose of this study is to show the senses of the senses in the

Cubic ideals of semigroup in KU-algebra
Abstract<p>In this work, we study of the concept of a cubic set of a semigroup in KU-algebra. Firstly, we study a cubic sub KU-semigroup and achieve some results in this notion. And then, we get a relation between a cubic sub KU-semi group and a level set of a cubic set. Moreover, we define some cubic ideals of this structure and we found relationships between these ideals.</p><p>2010 AMS Classification. 08A72, 03G25, 06F35</p>
