(purposive sample) of 400 students (males-138 and females-262) were selected from four colleges and they were
in the fourth class, a probability (stratified random) method was used to select four colleges at University of
Baghdad as a study setting. The data was collected for the present study through the self-filling technique by using
the questionnaire that designed by the researchers. Validity through a panel of (16) experts and the reliability of
the questionnaire is determined through the pilot study.
Results: The findings of present study revealed that the majority of the study samples were female (65.5%),
(45.0%) of them were at age 22 yrs. the majority of them (85.8%) were unmarried (single), (50.2%) of them were
from scientific field, (32%) of them were selected from English language department, the vast majority (92.8%) of
them were urban residency, the majority of them (41.5%) were from moderate & (41.0%) were from high socio
economic class. The assessment of knowledge is not affected by demographic characteristic except (field of study,
and department, as well as occupation of student’s father). Also the results showed that students’ knowledge
about AIDS was good/ or adequate, as for their attitudes toward patients with AIDS were negative.
Recommendations: The study recommended to increased students’ awareness through the mass media about the
risks of this disease and how to prevent it. Increase lectures and discussions about HIV/AIDS that increase
students’ information.
BACKGROUND: Vascular tumors are a heterogeneous group of diseases with biological behavior ranging from a hamartomatous growth to frank malignant. The pathophysiology of lymphangioma, vascular malformation and hemangioma is interconnected, blood vessels known to be the site of origin of hamartomas, venous malformations and some neoplasms as benign, tumor-like growth of vessels (hemangiomas). Angiogenesis is the process of formation of new blood vessels from an existing structure.
Aims of study Assessment of angiogenic potential in benign vascular lesions (hemangioma, lymphangioma and lobular capillary hemangioma) of head and neck region.

Background: Imprelon® Biostar foils are new alternative tray material that has become increasingly popular because oftheir several advantages. Also, (Duran®) is another type of Biostar foils which is used in splint therapy. This study assessed some mechanical properties of these two types Biostar sheets in comparison with some types of acrylic resins used for construction of trays and splints. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 specimens were prepared, 30 specimens for each test, 10 for each group material in order to assess some mechanical properties of the Imprelon® Biostar foil (dimension stability, surface roughness and shear bond strength of Imprelon® materialto zinc oxide impression material) and compare them to that of the oth
