The experiment was conducted inside a glasshouse at the Department of Biology/
Education college Ibn- Alhaitham/ Baghdad University during the growing season 2010-2011. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of increasing of NaCl concentration in
the nutrient solution and different concentrations of proline as spray on the vegetative growth
on the chlorophyll content, soluble carbohydrates percentage, flowers number and the proline
content of vegetative growth. The aim of this study was also to determine the satiable
concentration of proline while decrease the injerion. Effect of NaCl on the studied traits of
two hyborids of tomato plants namely Olga F1 and Hymar F1. Sodium chloride concentration
of 0, 100. 150 mM/L and proline with 0, 15, 30 mg/L were used Factorial experiment within
Completely Randomized Design (C.R.D.) was used with 3 replicates Cie. 54 Plastic
containers were included. Results revealed that, Olga F1 was superior with increase percent
4.95, 58.66, 15.66 and (16.22, 10.82)% for the above mentioned characteristics respectively
and for the tow harvests of the last trait. Results also revealed a decrease of the studied
characteristics with increasing NaCl concentration from Zero up to 150 mM/L in the nutrient
solution giving a decrease percent of 23.87, 32.87 and 37.70% for the its three traits, where as
proline concentration increased as NaCl increased to 150mM/L giving 168.30 and 151.48%
increment percentage as compared with the control for the two harvests respectively.
It coaled be concluded that, increasing the proline to 15 mg/L caused a decrease in the
injurious effect of NaCl, and the hybrid Olga F1 was more to tolerant to the salinity than
Hymar F1 in all studied traits
Background: Although they are not life threatening, dental caries and periodontal disease are the most predominant and widely spread oral diseases throughout the world. Another most common dental problem seen in children is dental trauma. The aims of the study included the investigation of the prevalence and severity of dental caries, gingivitis and dental plaque in relation to gender, furthermore, the prevalence and severity of the traumatized anterior teeth were assessed. Materials and Methods: This oral health survey was conducted among primary school children aged 9 years old in Al-Diwaniyah city in Iraq. The total sample composed of 600 child (320 males and 280 females) selected randomly from different school in Al-Diwaniyah city. Dia

Objectives: This study assessed the satisfaction with immunization services offered to children and factors affecting this satisfaction.
Methods: Exit interviews for clients were conducted in Baghdad, Al-Karkh in a representative sample of primary health care centers to assess clients’ satisfaction with immunization services. Clients are companions of children encountered at study settings.
Results: Among the 253 respondent clients, 183 (72.3%) reflected satisfaction with the immunization

Background The study covered thirty-three species which grown wildly in Iraq and a comparative study for all kinds of morphological characters were done. Principal Findings The most stable and important taxonomic characters were pointed out, diagrams, illustrations, scheduals, micrographs were also documented. Stamens, nutlets, basal leaves, bracts, bracteoles, calyces, corollas and their trichomes were very important taxanomic characters. The trichomes were variable in variable species therefore used as a diagnostic characters for the species. Conclusions New species Salvia margasurica Al-Musawi & Al-Hussaini was suggested to be new record for science. Keywords: Salvia, Morphology, Spec. Nov.
