Background: The Infraorbital foramen is an anatomical structure with an important location in the maxilla, position of foramen in maxillofacial area is necessary in clinical situation requiring regional nerve blocks that are performed in children undergoing facial surgeries to avoid injury to corresponding nerve. The aim of study was to determine the position of the Infraorbital foramen and to correlate Infraorbital foramen position with age and gender using computed tomography. Subjects, Materials, and Methods: The sample consist of prospective study for 50 Iraqi subjects (21 male and 29 female) with age ranged from (5-17) years. The examination was performed on Multi – Slice Spiral Tomography scanner in Al-Karakh General Hospital. Using sagittal and coronal sections including right and left sides and the following measurements were done: 1. The distance from crista galli to the midpoint of fusion of hard palate(Midline of the patient) in the coronal section. 2. The distance from mid line to the infraorbital foramen, in the coronal section for both sides right and left. 3. The distance from sella turcica to the infraorbital foramen, in sagittal section for both sides right and left. 4. The distance from nasion to the infraorbital foramen, in coronal section for both sides right and left. Results: The partial regression coefficient for each year increase in age the linear measurements (midline-infraorbital foramen) (nasion-infraorbital foramen) and (vertical distance from nasion meeting the horizontal line from infraorbital foramen to midline) are expected to significantly increase after adjusting for confounding effect of gender. From multiple linear regression model designed in this study two mathematical formulae were derived for correlation of infraorbital foramen position with the age and gender:- Y1 [Linear measurement (Midline-Infraorbital foramen) mm] = 19.56 + (1.02 x gender) + (0.53x age in years). Y2 [Linear measurement (vertical distance from nasion meeting the horizontal line from Infraorbital foramen to midline)] = 28.42 + (2.5 x gender) + (0.30 x age in years). Conclusions: Computed tomography scan information facilitates the localization of infraorbital foramen position for successful access of the needle in infraorbital nerve block in children of different age and gender.

Some of metal compounds have been synthesized of record ligand from aldehid interaction of a substance which is salicyladehyde with another material which is urea. During the analysis of the metal component, The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR ,UV-visible , conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. this confirms the ratio[1:1] between the metal and ligand. It is found that theortical values agree with practical values All the studied complexes are suggested as an octahedral stereochemistry.

The aim of this study is to evaluate in-vitro activity of Cefamandol (Cfm) and Ceftazidime (Cfz), in combination with Clavulanic acid (CA) against ten complicated multiresistant uropathogenic E.coli .One hundred clinical strains were isolated from patients with chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs), these isolates were identified by the Api identification systems. The antimicrobial susceptibility tests were determined by Kirby-Bauer method, all of them were sensitive to Imipenem (Imp). Ten strains were chosen for the present study, they were resistant to Ampicillin (Amp), Amoxicillin (Amo), Carbenicillin (Cb), Ticarcillin (Tic), Azlocillin (Azl), Amoxicillin\ Potassium Clavulanate {Augmentin(Amc)}, (Amo\CA), Ticarcillin\ Potas

Background: Failure of resin bases were a major disadvantage recorded in the constructed dentures. Reinforcements of the repair joint with nano fillers represent an attempt to enhance the strength and durability. The purpose of the research was to estimate the influence of nano fillers reinforcement with (ZrO2 and Al2O3) on impact and transverse strength of denture bases repaired with either cold or hot processing acrylic resin. Materials and methods: A hundred and forty (140) samples were processed with hot cured resin and organized in subgroups depending on the repair materials and condition (without repair (control), repair with hot cure, cold cure, hot and cold cure reinforced with either (5% Zr2O or 0.5% Al2O3). The samples in these
