Background: Respiratory distress is one of the
commonest disorders within the firs 48 - 72 hours of live
and any sign of postnatal respiratory distress is an
indication for roentgenogram of the chest.
Objectives: Is to show the range of chest radiographic
findings in full term newborn babies suffering from
respiratory distress, at or soon after birth.
Method: This is a prospective study that was conducted
in the special care baby units in Baghdad teaching
hospital and Children welfare teaching hospital during
2002. Anteroposterior chest radiograph in supine
position of (129) full term newborn babies, presented
with a chief complaint of respiratory distress were
examined.
Results: The commonest cause of respiratory distress
was transient tachypnea of newborn (41.8%), most of
these showed hyperinflation (77%) and prominent
pulmonary markings (68%) .Normal chest films seen in
(16%). Pulmonary infection seen in (17.8%) of cases,
with findings of bronchopneumonia (43%), and lobar
consolidation affecting mostly the right upper lobe
(34%). Other causes were respiratory distress syndrome
(13.1%), meconium aspiration (13.1%), congenital heart
disease (9.3%). Less frequent causes were
pneumothorax, congenital lobar emphysema, congenital
diaphragmatic hernia and pleural effusion.
Conclusion: Any sign of post– natal respiratory distress
is an indication for roentgenogram of the chest which
should be taken as early as possible. In addition, chest
radiograph should be read by an expert radiologist
Survivin, a member of inhibitor of apoptosis family is increasingly used as a target for cancer therapy design because it has a key role in cell growth and inhibition of cell apoptosis. Also it can be used as a biomarker for targeting cancer because it is found in almost all cancer but not normal cells. Our strategy was to design (computationally) a molecule to be used as survivin inhibitor. This molecule was named lead10 and was used furthermore to find (virtually) existing drugs with a good survivin inhibition activity.
Purpose – The research aims to introduce sustainable agricultural development and the possibility of its application in the Iraqi agricultural sector by setting a proposed plan by which to overcome obstacles and then advance the reality of the agricultural sector in Iraq and the fact that the process of achieving agricultural development in the Iraqi agricultural sector today has become more sophisticated and more distant than before. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach based on the principles of economic theory to clarify the shortcomings in the process of harmony between the three main elements of sustainable agricultural development, which are natural, social, and manufactured.

In accordance with epidemic COVID-19, the elevated infection rates, disinfectant overuse and antibiotic misuse what led to immune suppression in most of the population in addition to genotypic and phenotypic alterations in the microorganisms, so a great need to reevaluate the genetic determinants that responsible for bacterial community (biofilm) has been raised. A total of 250 clinical specimens were obtained from patients in Baghdad hospitals and streaked on Mannitol salt agar medium. The results revealed that 156 isolates appeared as round yellow colonies, indicating that they were mostly identified as Staphylococcus aureus from 250 specimens. The antibiotic resistance pattern of the isolates for methicillin 37.17% (n=58), Amoxic

New, easy, simple, and fast spectral method for estimation of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) in pure and pharmaceutical forms. The proposed method is based on the azotization of the drug compound by sodium nitrite in an acidic medium and then coupling with 2,3dimethyl phenol reagent (DMP) in a basic medium to yield an orange-coloured dye which shows λmax at 402 nm. Different affection of the optimization reaction has been completed, following the classical univariate sequence. The concentration of sulfamethoxazole about (1-15) μg. mL-1 with molar absorptivity of (14943.461) L.mol1 .cm-1 that obeyed Beer’s law. The detection and quantification limits were (0.852, 2.583) μg. mL-1 respectively, while the value of Sandell’s sensitivity (

This research paper is about thevariationin the degree of Continentality climate of the
Iraq during (40) years for a number of climate station. Using Poresof formula, it is found out
that the climate of Iraq ranges between extreme Continentality and very extreme
Continentality, and that the Continentality degree is characterized with extreme frequency
from one year to another. In certain years, the degree of climate Continentality decreases
while in other years it rises in such a way that there is no similarity in the Continental degree
from one year to another for the same station.
As for the general trend of the degree of Continentality, the last years had noticed
special variations, which are divided in to thre
