Infectious bloody diarrhea in children 2 month – 5years, Descriptive hospital Based Study
...Show More Authors

Background: Dysentery is an important cause of morbidity and mortality associated with diarrhea. About 10% of all diarrheal episodes in children less than 5 years are dysenteric, but these cause about 15% of all deaths attributed to diarrhea.
Objective : To demonstrate the most common pathogens causing bloody diarrhea in children between 2 months and 5 years old, to describe some of the associated factors accompanying bloody diarrhea and to highlight the most important clinical features.
Patients and methods: A descriptive study of 82 children, between the age of 2 months to 5 years with bloody diarrhea, who were admitted to the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital/ Medical City/Baghdad during the period between 1st of March 2009 to 28th of February 2010. Information regarding demographic data was taken from their parents. All the patients were examined carefully mainly for the signs and degree of dehydration. General stool examination and stool culture done for patients with bloody diarrhea. Other 100 patients with acute watery diarrhea were also taken as a comparison group.
Results: Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite was the most common isolated pathogen in the study group specimens. It was identified in 38 (46.3%) of patients followed by Shigella species in 10 (12.2%) cases and the least was non typhoidal salmonella in 5 (6.1%) cases. The most vulnerable age was 2-24 months 51(62.2%) cases. Fifty eight and half percent of patients were from urban areas. Half of the patients (50%) were bottle fed. The majority had chlorinated tap water supply (82.9%). This study showed a higher frequency of the following symptoms: Fever (73.2%), Tenesmus (46.3%), Rectal prolapse (1.2%) and convulsion (4.9%) in patients with bloody diarrhea; while in patients with watery diarrhea, the frequencies of these symptoms were: (62%, 28%, 0% and 1% respectively), Severe dehydration was observed in only (15.9%) of cases and the majority of them were seen in patients with bacterial bloody diarrhea. 
Conclusions: Entamoeba histolytica was the most frequent offending pathogen in patients with bloody diarrhea in this study. Infants 2-24 months old were the main affected group. Bottle feeding preference, and non-boiling of drinking water made children more prone to have bloody diarrhea. High fever and tenesmus were the most frequent clinical symptoms associated with bloody diarrhea. More frequent bowel motions, high fever, and convulsion were all more commonly seen with bacterial bloody diarrhea than in amebic bloody diarrhea.

Association of Epileptiform Discharge and Autism Spectrum Disorder Severity in Children Attending the Outpatient Clinics, Child Welfare Teaching Hospital, Baghdad
...Show More Authors

Background: Subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have a higher prevalence of seizures than the general population, according to a significant body of research. Also, seizure-free patients with ASD have been found to have a higher prevalence of epileptiform discharge abnormalities compared to healthy controls across investigations. Changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) can manifest as sharp waves or spikes, sharp and slow waves, generally distributed or general area, or focused, and can manifest in various brain regions. There is a necessity to search for a distinctive EEG characteristic in ASD patients.

Objectives: This study used electroencephalography to investigate the relationshi

Chaos in a harvested prey-predator model with infectious disease in the prey
...Show More Authors

A harvested prey-predator model with infectious disease in preyis investigated. It is assumed that the predator feeds on the infected prey only according to Holling type-II functional response. The existence, uniqueness and boundedness of the solution of the model are investigated. The local stability analysis of the harvested prey-predator model is carried out. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the persistence of the model are also obtained. Finally, the global dynamics of this model is investigated analytically as well as numerically. It is observed that, the model have different types of dynamical behaviors including chaos.

Assessment of Air Pollution around Durra Refinery (Baghdad) from Emission NO2 Gas at April Month
...Show More Authors

Nitrogen dioxide NO2 is one of the most dangerous contaminant in the air, its toxic gas that cause disturbing respiratory effects, most of it emitted from industrial sources especially from the stack of power plants and oil refineries. In this study Gaussian equations modelled by Matlab program to state the effect of pollutant NO2 gas on area around Durra refinery, this program also evaluate some elements such as wind and stability and its effect on stacks height. Data used in this study is the amount of fuel oil and fuel gas burn inside refinery at a year 2017. Hourly April month data chosen as a case study because it’s unsteady month.

Network Performance Analysis Based on Network Simulator NS-2.
...Show More Authors

     NS-2 is a tool to simulate networks and events that occur per packet sequentially based on time and are widely used in the research field. NS-2 comes with NAM (Network Animator) that produces a visual representation it also supports several simulation protocols. The network can be tested end-to-end. This test includes data transmission, delay, jitter, packet-loss ratio and throughput. The Performance Analysis simulates a virtual network and tests for transport layer protocols at the same time with variable data and analyzes simulation results based on the network simulator NS-2.

Extracting Descriptive Frames from Informational Videos
...Show More Authors

     Informational videos are becoming increasingly important among all video types. The users spend so much time browsing the informative videos, even if they are not interested in all their topics. Thence, a new method for extracting descriptive frames is presented in this paper that allows users to navigate directly to the topics of their interest in the video. The proposed method consists of three main phases: video preprocessing, video segmentation, and the video separation phase. Firstly, frames are extracted from the videos, resized, and converted to grayscale. Then, the frames are divided into blocks, and the kurtosis moment is calculated for each block. The videos are segmented based on an examination of the differences betw
