Background: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial illnesses among the public and in hospital settings. A prevalent nosocomial disease is catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). The risk of infection increases with urinary catheterization, making it easier for Escherichia coli to colonize the urinary system. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) specifically adapts to survive in challenging urinary tract conditions. Treating CAUTI accurately and effectively can be difficult. An important health concern nowadays is drug-resistant bacteria.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of swarming genes in E. coli responsible for UTIs and catheter-associated UTIs,

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is among the leading causes of fertility-related problems and menstrual irregularities in women of reproductive age. The granulosa cells of the developing pre-antral and antral follicles produce inhibin B, which triggers chemical responses in the ovaries. Inhibin B is most often observed in the follicular phase when levels peak early and then decline over time

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the role of serum inhibin B and the Luteinizing Hormone / Follicle Stimulating Hormone ratio in differentiation between the different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome as well as to define the predominant PCOS phenotype. 

Background: Hypovitaminosis D can cause immunological irregularities in the development of immune thrombocytopenia.

Objectives: To identify the frequency of low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in children with Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to assess the effect of the disease phase and type of treatment on vitamin D level.

Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 88 children (63 had been diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia and 25 healthy children as controls) during November 2023 and April 2024. The patients were sub-grouped according to global classification of vitamin D level into three groups: less than 10 ng/ml (n = 47), 10–20 ng/ml (n = 16), and

Background: Trichomonas vaginalis is a common parasite of both male and female genital tracts. Transmission of the infection is mainly by sexual intercourse; however contaminated
towels, douche equipments, examination instruments and other objects may be responsible for some infections.
Aim: Is to study the influence of some factors that affect the spread of this parasite such as socioeconomic status, marital status, pregnancy and parity …….etc.
Methods: The study was conducted in the period from November 1992 to August 1993 on 480 female patients presented with vaginal discharge with or without itching, compared to 50
 females complaining of gynecological problems other than infections. Inve

Background: Iraq is among counttries of intermediate hepatitis  B endemicity. Although several studies have been carried out on the prevalence of HBV markers.

Background: women with acute coronary syndrome have increased in-hospital morbidity & mortality as compared with men following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It remains unclear if this difference secondary to the sex or other confounding variables.

Patients and Methods: We sought to examine the characteristics and outcomes of 71 consecutive women (49.2%) and men (50.7) undergoing PCI at The Iraqi Center of Heart Diseases from October 2005 to March 2006.

Results: There were significant differences in the baseline characteristics between both sexes. Women more frequently had SVD(single vessel desiease) (25.7% vs. 16.6%) and 2VD (37.1% vs. 16.6%) while Men wer

Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a complex, multifactorial autoimmune disease in which a person's genetic predisposition plays a significant role. Alopecia areata has been linked to various autoimmune conditions. There is a significant likelihood that autoimmune thyroid disorders will coexist with these conditions.

Objectives: To determine the association between alopecia areata and subclinical thyroid dysfunction, and to assess serum cortisol levels and their relationship with AA.

Methods: ‏The case-control study, conducted at the Dermatology Center of Baghdad Teaching Hospital from October 2023 to February 2024, involved 80 AA patients and 40 healthy controls. Thyroi

Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic disease characterized mainly by chronic cough with the production of purulent sputum. It is still seen in Iraq and developing countries, although its incidence is much lower in the developed countries.

Objectives: To highlight the etiology and the diagnostic workup of patients affected by this disease process and to assess the outcome of the surgical intervention in a properly selected patient.

Background: Methamphetamine (METH) is a potent synthetic stimulant that significantly impacts the central nervous system and can lead to severe liver damage. Prolonged METH use causes hepatocytes damage and fibrosis, marked by increased laminin deposition, a key component of the extracellular matrix produced by stellate cells during liver injury.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of METH abuse on liver function and laminin (LN) levels, correlating these with the duration and concentration of METH use.

Methods: Conducted from January to August 2024, this case-control study involved 75 male participants with METH addiction (6-120 months of use) and 75 he

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a family of autosomal recessive disorders of cortisol biosynthesis. Depending on the enzymatic step that is deficient, there may be signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of mineralocorticoid deficiency or excess; incomplete virilization or premature puberty in affected males; and virilization or sexual infantilism in affected females. The most frequent is 21-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency, accounting for more than 90% of cases.
Objectives: to review cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia registered in children welfare teaching hospital- medical city- Baghdad.
Patients and method: This study included all patients who were presented and registered in the e

Background: Although the issue of anemia after renal transplantation (RT) has received increasing attention lately, the data on the exact prevalence of post-transplantation anemia (PTA) in the Iraqi patients are limited.
Objective: In this study we sought to determine the prevalence of PTA among Iraqi patients and to correlate the renal allograft function measurements and the use of immunosuppressant with the prevalence of anemia.
Patients and Methods: One hundred and twelve (74 male, 38 female) kidney transplant recipients (KTR) attending the kidney transplant center at surgical specialties hospital were studied. All patients were on maintenance, combined immunosuppressive therapy. The renal function

Background: one of the complications of rigid bronchoscope is the cardiovascular responses that may carry a dangerous drawback during and after the procedure. Prevention and control of these events will be crucial, especially for the old and cardiovascular debilitated patients.
Objective: The study aims to control and attenuate the unwanted hemodynamic responses to the rigid bronchoscpe using intravenous lidocaim and GTN.
Method: a study was performed on three groups of patients undergone a diagnostic procedure of bronchoscope. Each group consists of 20 patients at the same age and relatively similar pathology. The three groups (group one, two and three) received lidocaine, glyceryltrinitrate and no drug re
