Total no. of patient (100) stool samples were collected, during the period from February to the end of May of 2008, for children under two years old suffering from non-bloody and bloody diarrhea at (Children Welfare Teaching Hospital) in Baghdad. The study evaluates the relationship between etiological agent of diarrhea and sex, age group, type of feeding, presence of blood in stool of the patients. All samples were examined microscopically to identify parasitic agent and serological test for Rotavirus to identify viral infection, also biochemical and serological tested for specimen's culture on different culture media and antibiotic sensitivity test. Results show from 100 cases 64] represents the etiological agent of diarrhea and the most common of this agent was Rotavirus represent (37.5 %), respectively then Entamoeba histolytica (21.9 %), other agents were include Proteus (12.5 %), Enteropathogenic E.coli (10.9 %), Citrobacter braakii (7.8 %), Salmonella typhi (6.3 %), and Giardia lamblia (3.1 %). The remaining 36 isolates represent of unknown etiological agent for another's pathogen.The prevalence ratio of infection in male (75.0 %) was more than in female (25.0 %), in the first year of age especially in the age group (0-6) months (42.2 %). children depending on artificial feeding represent about (57.8 %) higher natural and mixed feeding, the bloody diarrhea associated with Entamoeba histolytica (57.1 %) in contrast to some etiological agent of non-bloody diarrhea. Eleven types of antibiotics were used for sensitivity test show all serotype of Enteropathogenic E.coli and Salmonella typhi are sensitive to Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin. The predominant serotypes of Enteropathogenic E.coli which represent serotype O111 and serotype O125 these strains show resistance to Cefotaxime (CTX), Trimethoprim-sulfamethaxazole (SXT), Ampicillin (AM), Metronidazole (MET), Cefoperazone (CEP), Cefixime (CFM), also the serotype O111 resistance to Gentamicin (CN) represent (45.0 %), while the most resistance of Salmonella was to Amikacin (100.0 %). This may reflect the fact that the increased resistance in older children and adult may be associated with the development of immunity or the loss of receptors for some specific adhesion. In Iraq Rotavirus infection is estimated to account for (10-29 %) in early childhood, While in neighboring countries the rate ranges between (19-46 %). The study show infected males more than female and the highest diarrheal infection was caused by Rotavirus, the Imipenem and Ciprofloxacin antibiotic was the most effective one against pathogenic strains of Enteropathogenic E.coli and Salmonella typhi while all isolates were resistant to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethaxazole, Ampicillin, Metronidazole.
It is considered as one of the statistical methods used to describe and estimate the relationship between randomness (Y) and explanatory variables (X). The second is the homogeneity of the variance, in which the dependent variable is a binary response takes two values (One when a specific event occurred and zero when that event did not happen) such as (injured and uninjured, married and unmarried) and that a large number of explanatory variables led to the emergence of the problem of linear multiplicity that makes the estimates inaccurate, and the method of greatest possibility and the method of declination of the letter was used in estimating A double-response logistic regression model by adopting the Jackna

Objectives : To measure hyperglycosylated human chorionic gonadotrophin and to assess how far it can be used as predictor of invasion in invasive mole and choriocarcinoma. Study design control study. Setting: : Case Gynecological department in Baghdad Teaching Hospital from January 2016 to January 2017. Patient and Methods : 60 women were enrolled in this study 30 of them were with gestational trophoblastic disease (no.= 30 ) the remainder were normal pregnancy (no. =30) , hCG –H level was measured in both groups. Results : Mean serum hCG-H le

In the modern world, one of the main factors influencing economic growth is the quality of agricultural produce. The need for future crop protection and production is growing as disease-affected plants have caused considerable agricultural losses in several crop categories. The crop yield must be increased while preserving food quality and security and having the most negligible negative environmental impact. To overcome these obstacles, early discovery of satisfactory plants is critical. The use of Advances in Intelligent Systems and information computer science effectively helps find more efficient and low-cost solutions. Thi

Methods/Statistical analysis: The performance evolution is carried out for 346 MR images from Alzheimer's Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset. The classifier Deep Belief Network (DBN) is used for the function of classification. The network is trained using a sample training set, and the weights produced are then used to check the system's recognition capability. Findings: As a result, this paper presented a novel method of automated classification system for AD determination. The suggested method offers good performance of the experiments carried out show that the

Subjects and Methods GCF samples were collected from participants with periodontal health (control), gingivitis, and periodontitis (n = 25 each group). The latter group was further subdivided according to stage (S) and grade. Periodontal parameters were recorded then levels of biomarkers were assayed using ELISA and antioxidant status by use of the Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay for E-cadherin and TAC, respectively. Results All periodontal parameters were significantly higher in periodontally diseased groups than controls. The GCF E-cadherin significantly increased

Show MoreInflammatory bowel disease includes both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic, progressive relapsing disease of gastrointestinal tract that require long-term treatment or maintenance therapy. Taking patient’s beliefs about the prescribed medication in consideration had been shown to be an important factor that affects compliance of the patient in whom having positive beliefs is a prerequisite for better compliance. The aim of the current study was to investigate and assess beliefs about medicines among a sample of Iraqi patients with inflammatory bowel disease and to determine possible association between these beliefs and some patient-specific factors.

renal function is well known. The aim of this study is to
know which group of patients with acute stroke is more
likely to have undiagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease and

In this paper, a mathematical model consisting of a prey-predator system incorporating infectious disease in the prey has been proposed and analyzed. It is assumed that the predator preys upon the nonrefugees prey only according to the modified Holling type-II functional response. There is a harvesting process from the predator. The existence and uniqueness of the solution in addition to their bounded are discussed. The stability analysis of the model around all possible equilibrium points is investigated. The persistence conditions of the system are established. Local bifurcation analysis in view of the Sotomayor theorem is carried out. Numerical simulation has been applied to investigate the global dynamics and specify the effect
