Infectious Causes of Diarrhea Among Neutropenic Children
...Show More Authors

Background: Intestinal infections are frequently occur among children with cancer who receive chemotherapy. On the other hand, diarrhea is especially common and severe among cancer patients that develop neutropenia, either due to the disease itself or due to the intensive chemotherapy. There are many causes of diarrhea among those patients, but intestinal infections still an important etiology among them.

Objectives: to study the frequency of diarrhea among neutropenic children, with its infectious etiologies, especially the bacterial, fungal and parasitic causes.

Type of the study:Cross-sectional study.

Methods: the study was done in the Oncology Department of Nanakali Hospital for Haematological diseases and malignanciesin Erbil City, on pediatric age group. One hundred six children with cancer were followed up during the period between January – May 2017, of them only 50 patients who full fill the criteria of being (neutropenic, diarrheic, and age < 14 years), and those were regarded as the study group, compared to 20 patients who had the same criteria (diarrheic, and age < 14 years) but notneutropenic.They were investigated for the infectious causes of diarrhea especially bacterial, parasitic, and fungal agents. Data were analyzed statistically using SPSS program and Correlation test was also used. The results were regarded significant with p < 0.05.

Results: A total of 70 diarrheal episodes in 106 cancer children were detected, 50 of them were neutropenic while 20 were not. Intestinal infections were detected in 62% of the 1st group and in 45% of the 2nd one, while the causes in the remaining cases of diarrhea (38%) cannot be identified. Bacterial pathogens were the main agents that causes diarrhea followed by fungi then parasites with an infectious rates of (28%, 20%, and 14% respectively).

Conclusions: Diarrhea commonly developed among cancer children with neutropenia. Bacteria are the most incriminated pathogens followed by Candida and parasites. This study noticed the presence of other etiologies for diarrhea beside infectious causes that should be considered and investigated in the future researches and during management of diarrhea in those patients.

Preparation of Some (Transition Metal-Flavylium Salt- Flavon) Complexes
...Show More Authors

Three ligands were prepared, spectroscopic method and elemental analysis verified their structures. The L1 and L2 ligands are flavylium salts while the third one L3 is a Flavon. The reactions between transition metal salts and the ligands have synthesized two groups of new metal complexes, one group contains L1, L3 coordinated with the metal ion. The other group contains L2, L3 and the metal. These complexes have been identified by available spectroscopic tools (UV-Visible and IR), the C.H.N results confirmed the proposed structures. The experimental data disclosed that the complexes were coordinated by 6the coordinate with mono-and bidentate ligands forming octahedral structure, in which L3 acts as monodentate and L1, L2 as bidentate ligan

Description of the word formation system in contemporary Russian
...Show More Authors

This paper deals with the description of the system of formation and derivation of words in the Russian language. In this work, we will present recent trends in the study of the Russian language that deal with vocabulary formation. The lexical system of the Russian language is associated with a common (or opposite) meaning; similar (or opposite) in stylistic characteristics; united by a common type of word formation; related to a common descent and belonging to a vocabulary of much or little use, etc. The results of the most prominent linguists and specialists who dealt with this topic will be presented, in addition to presenting their different views on word formation. The words of the Russian language consist of mor vimat that participate

MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE TONGUE IN MONGOOSE (HERPESTES JAVANICUS)
...Show More Authors

The aim of the current study is to identify the morphological description of the tongue in mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) and its relation to the feeding pattern. For this purpose the (5) samples of tongues were dissected from the head of mongoosecaught from different areas of Al-Najaf province, cleaned in normal saline and examined under the dissecting microscope. The results showed the absence of the middle groove in the lingual apex area. As well as the absence of lingual prominence in the body area. The dorsal surface is characterized by the presence of four types from lingual papillae (filiform, cylindrical, fungiform, circumvallate), while the ventral surface is free of lingual papillae. The filiform papillae spread throughout the dor

Modeling the Effect of Particle Packing Density for Sintering
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>This research studies the effect of particle packing density on sintering TiO<sub>2</sub> microstructure. Sintering experiment was conducted on compacts involving of monodisperse spherical TiO2 particles. The experimental results are modeled using L<sup>2</sup>-Regression technique in studing the effect of two theoretical values of 55% and 69% of initial packing densities. The mathematical simulation shows that the lower values of density compacts sintered fast to theoretical density and this reflects that particle packing density improved densification rate because of the competing influence of grain growth at higher values of densities.</p>

Preparation of Anise and Thyme Lotion for Topical Use
...Show More Authors

Anise and thyme crude extract were used to prepare a lotion for topical application due to their antimicrobial, germicidal and antifungal effects. Two formulas were prepared using the mentioned natural plants, formula 2 (selected lotion) was the most acceptable one which contained veegum and xanthan gum as suspending agents in addition to other exceipients providing it good properties with high physical stability because of its flocculating, pouring, resuspending easily with sedimentation volume (F) 0.96. In addition to unchangeable odor and color with expiration date of one year. While the Preliminary clinical study was done using this lotion on 10 patients with infecious viral skin diseases, it was found that this lotion was successful

Polymerization of Acrylamide N-methylene Lactic and Glycolic Acid
...Show More Authors

In this research work, the novel polymer base on acrylamide N-methylene lactic and glycolic acid was synthesized and its structural performances were identified by the IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic investigations. The influencing factors and kinetics of polymerization, viscosity performance were studied and quantum chemical calculations were used to identify the correlation between the structure and properties. It was determined that the polymerization rate of the examined monomers in an aqueous solution, in the presence of DAA, adheres to the standard rules for radical polymerization of acrylamide monomers in solution. An investigation into the pH solution's impact on the kinetics of radical polymerization of acrylamido-N-methyle
