Assessment Severity of Community Acquired Pneumonia By Curb-65
...Show More Authors

Background: Community acquired pneumonia is the most frequent infection-related cause of death. Illness severity might usefully guide a number of management decisions and predict mortality. Confusion, blood urea ,respiratory rate ,blood pressure and age 65 years or older (CURB-65) based largely on clinical assessment.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of CURB-65 score in assessment severity of community-acquired pneumonia and to predict mortality.
Patients and Methods: Fifty patients were enrolled in this prospective study between 1st. of March 2007 and 31st. of January 2008, recruited at Baghdad Teaching Hospital diagnosed as community acquired pneumonia depending on having lower respiratory tract infection symptoms , signs and new infiltrate on the chest radiograph.CURB-65 scoring system was applied and the patients were divided into three groups low risk[CURB-65= (0-1)], intermediate risk [CURB-65= (2)], and high risk [CURB-65= (3-5)] groups . The low risk group was managed at home with oral antibiotics, the intermediate and high risk groups were managed at hospital with intravenous antibiotics. The 30-day mortalities were established.
Results: There were 27(54%) females and 23 (46%) males at a median age of 68 year range from(15-90) year Thirty three patients (66%) had their age 65or older, 26 patients (52%) had B.U>7mmol/l, 11patients (22%) had R.R> 30/minute, 3 patients (6%) had systolic B.P<90 mm Hg, 11patients(22%) had diastolic B.P<60 mm Hg and 14 patients (28%) had confusion. Twenty patients (40%) were in the low risk group (CURB-65=0-1), 12 patients (24%) were in the intermediate risk group (CURB-65=2) and 18 patients (36%) were in the high risk group (CURB-65=3-5). The 30 day mortalities were (0%) in the low risk group, (16.5%) in the intermediate risk group and (30%) in the high risk.
The overall mortality was 8 (16%) patients.
Conclusion: CURB-65 effectively stratified patients regarding the site of medical care, type . route of administration of treatment and predicted mortality.

synthesis and characterization of heterocyclic compounds and polymers with studying the biological activity for some of them
...Show More Authors

This paper deals with the preparation of new monomers and polymers which including heterocyclic unit. The diacid chlorides compounds [1-3] were prepared from the reaction of glutaric acid, adipic acid, terephthalic acid with thionyl chloride. Succinic acid reacted with ethanol to produce compound [4]. Compound [4] reacted with hydrazine hydrate to obtain succinic hydrazide [5].Compound [5] reaction with CS2 and KOH in absolute ethanol to produce compound [6].The polymers [7-12] have been created by reacting diacid chlorides compounds [1-3] with compound[5] or [6] in dry pyridine with some drops of DMF. The topology of produced compounds has characterized through their spectral and analytical data as in FT-IR spectra, Thermal analysis [DSC,

The Impacts of Environmental-Geomorphology of the Kut Barrage on the Tigris Waterway and the Neighboring regions
...Show More Authors

The research dealt with the effect of Kut Barrage on the geomorphological processes and the natural environment system in the course of the Tigris between the cities of Al-Ahrar and Kut in central Iraq. It was clear from the research the contribution of Kut Barrage in changing the surface runoff system between the front and back of the barrage, as well as changing the type of processes and the prevailing geomorphic forms, as the sedimentation activates the front of the barrage and erosion at its back, which affected the change in the morphology of the river, sediment retention at the front of the barrage, the burial of the bottom and reducing the validity of the stream. This also affects the efficiency of the barrage’s work and coastal er

Synthesis, Characterization and Microbial Evaluation of Heterocyclic Azo Dye Ligand Complexes of Some Transition Metal(II) Ions
...Show More Authors

The snthesis and characterization of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of azo ligand 4-[(5-acetyl-2-aminophenyl)- diazenyl]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one derived from 4-aminoantipyrine and 4-aminoacetophenone are reported. The nature of the compounds have been studied followed by mole ratio and methods of continuous contrast, Beer′s law followed during a condensation rate (1 × 10-4 – 3 × 10-4 M). The analytical data showed that all the complexes are in 1:2 metal-ligand ratio. An octahedral geometry have been suggested for all the compounds and biological studies of all the complexes were evaluated against different types of antimicrobial strains.

Effect Of Some Enzymes Activity In Liver Diseases From Patients Of Salmonella Paratyphi A With Iraqi Woman.
...Show More Authors

This present study demonstrated that liver was involved in 14 %of typhoid patients manifesting with hepatomegaly. Elevation of serum enzymes in typhoid fever was presumably of a muscular origin, while elevation of liver enzyme was relatively less common. This study was performed on 30 female patients diagnosed by ultrasound (US) of abdomen, with paratyphoid A, ranged between (20-40) years compared with 30 healthy control .Patients volunteers were treated with appropriate antibiotics for 14 days and investigations were repeated 2-3 week after completion of treatment. Patients had clinical and biochemical evidence of hepatic dysfunction. The spectrum of hepatic involvement included hepatomegaly , jaundice, derangement of various hepatic func

Development of Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction method combined with UV spectrophotometry for the Determination of Malathion Pesticide
...Show More Authors

A simple and novel method was developed by combination of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction with UV spectrophotometry for the preconcentartion and determination of trace amount of malathion. The presented method is based on using a small volume of ethylenechloride as the extraction solvent was dissolved in ethanol as the dispersive solvent, then the binary solution was rapidly injected by a syringe into the water sample containing malathion. The important parameters, such the type and volume of extraction solvent and disperser solvent, the effect of extraction time and rate, the effect of salt addition and reaction conditions were studied. At the optimum conditions, the calibration graph was linear in the range of 2-100 ng mL-1 of ma

Comparative Study of Sclerostin and Lipid Profile in Type 2 Diabetic Patients of Iraqi Women with Osteoporosis
...Show More Authors

Background: Chronic hyperglycemia is the most frequent diabetes-related metabolic disorder because of faulty insulin action or production. According to the WHO, osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disorder that decreases bone mass and micro architecture bone tissue, increasing bone fragility and fracture risk. Nervosa damage determines how much a diabetic's body is damaged. Objective: The current work aimed to examines age, BMI, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, sclerostin, and lipid profiles (TC, TG, HDL-C, VLDL-C, and LDL-C) in Iraqi T2DM menopausal women with /without osteoporosis to detect biomarkers in such condition. Subjects and Methods: 120 subjects were included in this study. They were divided into 3 groups; Group 1 (N = 4

...Show More Authors

Recently, young people have shown a desire to keep cats as pets, despite being threatened with health problems including toxoplasmosis. Therefore, the current study was aimed to detect toxoplasmosis infections among of volunteers students as well as spreading health awareness among students and knowledge about the importance of this disease. Prevalence rate and effects of liver functions were tested by measured levels of Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzymes while the OnSiteToxo IgG/IgM combo rapid test was used in the diagnosis of the disease. The blood samples were collected from 76 volunteers (35 male and 41 female). The results showed that, the total percentage of infections was 27.6% and all infect
