Aim: to determine the effectiveness of women's self-care instructions on their post cesarean section care in Baghdad
teaching hospital.
Methodology: The present study used quasi-experimental study design in maternity words in Baghdad teaching
hospital. The sample was collected and follow up for the period (15) January 2014 until 15 May 2014 Nonprobability
(purposive sample) of (100) women post cesarean section divided in to two groups (50) women post
cesarean section considered as a study group, and another (50) women post cesarean section considered as the
control one, A questionnaire designed as a tool to collect data fit the purpose of the study a questionnaire include
demographic variables, Reproductive variables, instructions self-care post cesarean Wound care, a pilot study was
carried out to test the reliability, As for reliability of questionnaire has been displayed by a group of experts in
various medical specialties and nursing
.Result: The study presents significant differences in implementation of instructional program for self-care
post cesarean between study and control groups on wound, there is significant differences in washing hand
before & after any procedure, Don't put ointment or cream on the wound, don't raise the dressing to see operation
immediately unless done by medical staff (P=0.000). Also significant differences are found in perineal care &
urinary system post cesarean in washing hand before & after using bathroom, wash perineum area water warm
water contains a antiseptics from front of the pubic bone to the anus, place sanitary pads from front to back to
protect the inner surface from contamination, do not hold on the urine when feel the desire to urinate,
practice kegel exercises 2-3 times per day, Do not have sexual intercourse during the first 6 weeks, preferred to
use the western bathroom (P= 0.000).
Recommendations: The study recommended the possibility of providing an educational overlap of self-care
after a cesarean delivery for all pregnant women attending antenatal care centers, primary health, construction
and application of the overlap of the mothers of the educational process to be holding them in the hospital to
increase their knowledge of self-care after a cesarean section
This experiment presented essential oils by GC/MS, pigment content, and their antioxidant activities as well as sensory evaluation of delight samples. Limonene (66.88%) was the most prevalent yield. The peels of clementine had DPPH and ABT Scavenging activity. All levels of pigment extract had better scores for all sensory values and recorded acceptable scores in terms of appearance, color, aroma, and overall acceptability compared to control delight. Besides, delight samples containing 15 mg astaxanthin pigment extract showed maximum sensory scores compared to other samples and control delight. On the other hand, the product was less acceptable to the panelists compared to control in the case of the addition of 3.75 mg astaxanthin pigme

Stereolithography (SLA) has become an essential photocuring 3D printing process for producing parts of complex shapes from photosensitive resin exposed to UV light. The selection of the best printing parameters for good accuracy and surface quality can be further complicated by the geometric complexity of the models. This work introduces multiobjective optimization of SLA printing of 3D dental bridges based on simple CAD objects. The effect of the best combination of a low-cost resin 3D printer’s machine parameter settings, namely normal exposure time, bottom exposure time and bottom layers for less dimensional deviation and surface roughness, was studied. A multiobjective optimization method was utilized, combining the Taguchi me

Laboratory model tests were performed to investigate the behavior of shallow and inclined skirted foundations placed on sandy soil with R.D%=30 and the extent of the impact of the positive and negative eccentric-inclined loading effect on them. To achieve the experimental tests, it was used a box of (600×600) mm cross-sectional and 600mm in height and a square footing of (50*50) mm and 10 mm in thickness attached to the skirt with Ds=0.5B and various an angle of (10°, 20°, 30°). The results showed that using skirts leads to a significant improvement in load-carrying capacity and decreased settlement. In addition, when the skirt angle increased, the ultimate load improved. Load-carrying capacity decreased with increasing eccentri
