Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections in Baghdad Teaching Hospital
...Show More Authors

Objectives: The objectives of the present study are to identify both, the rate of urinary tract infections (UTI) in medical
and surgical wards in Baghdad Teaching Hospital and the common types of microorganisms that cause this type of NIs,
study the resistance of isolated microorganisms to several types of antibiotic and the effect of some disinfection
material like Iodine, chlorhexidine and septicin on the growth of these isolates.
Methodology: This is descripƟve study carried out from 1\6\2009 to 1\11\2009. A total of 200 paƟents were admiƩed
to medical and surgical wards in Baghdad teaching hospital, paƟents were divided into two group 100 paƟents, in
surgical ward and 100 paƟents in medical ward. Some of important information was recorded. Urine samples were
cultured on different culture media in order to isolate different pathogenic bacteria. Then, the sensitivity of these
isolates were tested against different antimicrobials, antibiotics (amikacin, ampicillin, cefixime, cefotaxime,
cephalexin, gentamycin, nalidixic acid, nitrofuranion, rifimpicin and vancomycin) and the effects of different
disinfectant solutions with different concentrations; including benzalkonium chloride (septicin, commercial),
chlorhexidine and povidoniodine (betadine, commercial), were tested as well on the growth of isolated bacteria.
Results: The results show that a high incidence of (UTI) as nosocomial infections appeared in medical and surgical
wards in Baghdad Teaching Hospital and most of paƟents were male at age groups ranged from 46-55 years and 36-45
years in medical and surgical ward respectively. The highest rate of UTIs increased in patients who had needed
catheterization procedures in both wards. Gram negative bacteria were commonly p. aeuroginosa and E. coli, less
commonly gram positive bacteria like methicillin-resistant Satph aureus were isolated as etiologic agents of UTIs
infections in both wards. Moreover, multi-drug resistance for common use antibiotics was observed in most virulent
species like Pseudomonas aeuroginos and Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Nitrofurantion was the
best drug for all bacterial isolates. It was obvious that 10-15% of povidione-iodine solution has more effect on the
growth controlling of pathogenic bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeuroginos isolates. The results indicated
significant differences (p˂0.01) between the effect of SepƟcin and Chlorhexidine on the acƟvity of isolated bacteria.
Recommendations: The study recommends that the catheter should be changed every 2 days, especially if signs of
urinary tract infections appear and using antimicrobial catheters and intelligent use of aseptic techniques, and limiting
the use of antibiotics and the use of most effective disinfectant in the exact concentration specified by the
manufacture, and the detection antibiotic resistance gene using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

...Show More Authors

This study aimed at revealing the degree of availability of standards of word problems in mathematics books for the first three grades of the basic stage in Palestine. For this purpose, the researcher prepared an analysis tool and a list of criteria consisting of two areas: linguistic formulation and mathematical content. Every area had seven items. The results of the study showed that the third-grade mathematics book has the highest degree of availability of the standards with 85.75%, and then came the second-grade mathematics book with 83.12%. Finally, the first-grade mathematics book came with 80.13%. In the light of the previous results, the researcher recommended to develop the language of word problems, to take into account their i

Comparative Evaluation of Using Intranasal Desmopressin, Parenteral Diclofenac or their Combination in the Management of Acute Renal Colic Pain in Iraqi Patients
...Show More Authors

         There is a suggestion that an antidiuretic hormone-induced decrease in diuresis might contribute to the rapid relief of the acute pain in renal colic. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of desmopressin nasal spray compared with diclofenac given intramuscularly in patients with acute renal colic. The study included 75 patients randomized into three different groups; group A received desmopressin (40 μg, nasal spray), group B diclofenac (75 mg) intramuscularly and group C, both desmopressin and diclofenac. Pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (a 10-cm horizontal scale ranging from `no pain' to `unbearable pain') at baseline, 10, 20 and 30 min after administering t

The impact of landscape on the emotional shift in Tayo’s Character: A Study of memory and displacement in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony
...Show More Authors

This paper examines the decolonizing methods used by Leslie Marmon Silko in her novel Ceremony (1977) to heal the indigenous people from the patriarchal traditions of the white hegemony. This study aims to emphasize the vulnerable responses of the Pueblo people to the memories of the clan and to highlight Silko’s methods to sustain the history and lifestyle of the indigenous people. Therefore, Silko’s novel can be situated historically and culturally within memory-studies. To analyze the contrasting behaviors of characters, this paper projects the relationship between the collective patriarchal doctrines and that of the individual within the framework of memory studies. Theories of Jan and Aleida Assmann are used here to explore the
