Background: Investigating dental health knowledge among children is important. Knowing what behaviors are right in relation to dental health does not guarantee that children will practice those behaviors. However, lack of knowledge and misconceptions about dental health may lead to behaviors that are harmful to teeth and gum. Baseline data on knowledge levels are required to determine which particular areas of dental health education are in need of improvement for high-risk children living in different geographical areas. This research was conducted to study the oral health status, dental knowledge and behavior in relation to two different cities, among children in Baghdad and Thamar (republic of Yemen) governorate. Materials and Methods: The sample collected was composed of two geographically different groups, first group from Baghdad city: composed of 144 children and adolescents and the second group collected from the city of Thamar (republic of Yemen) composed of 108 of an age range 8-15 years old children. Dental plaque and Gingival health condition was assessed by using plaque index of Silness and Loe (1964),and gingival index of Loe and Silness (1963), Ramfjord index teeth were examined to represent the whole dentition. Oral examination was performed by a single examiner using mouth mirror and dental explorer for each child. Ten questions were fabricated to evaluate the dental health knowledge and behavior of the two groups. Results: This study was recorded that the age group 12-15 years old the significant difference was found in relation to gingival health condition, the dental Knowledge and behaviors was the highly significant difference was found between Baghdad and Thamar group. As well as highly scores of dental knowledge and behavior was significantly related to the dental plaque for both Baghdad and Thamar group. Conclusion: The difference in the geographical location could affect on oral hygiene, dental health knowledge and behavior of the children and adolescent.

Coronavirus has affected many people around the world and caused an increase in the number of hospitalized patients and deaths. The prediction factor may help the physician to classify whether the patient needs more medical attention to decrease mortality and worsening of symptoms. We aimed to study the possible relationship between C reactive protein level and the severity of symptoms and its effect on the prognosis of the disease. And determine patients who require closer respiratory monitoring and more aggressive supportive therapies to avoid poor prognosis. The data was gathered using medical record data, the patient's medical history, and the onset of symptoms, as well as a blood sample to test the

Due to the numerous motor and performance skills required of female students in futsal refereeing during college lessons, along with the constant need to reposition themselves and move within the playing field, continuous monitoring and repetition are essential to minimize potential errors during performance. These errors may arise from failing to assume the correct position or delays in signalling officiating gestures. Addressing this issue necessitated the implementation of an electronic program and supplementary tools—such as electronic games, scientific posters illustrating officiating signals, and other instructional aids—since these serve as guiding tools that direct individuals toward correct performance by distinguishing

This study concluded detection of Toxoplasma gondii in milk, immunologically by using Elisa and nested PCR)nPCR (based on B1 gene, also to investigate the effect of toxoplasmosis, parity, breed and flock on some milk composition in the Iraqi local and Shami goats in the middle of Iraq. A total of 80 milk samples of the lactating goats were collected. Results of this study showed the prevalence of Toxoplasmosis was 21.25% and 28.75% by Elisa and nPCR respectively without significant differences. The sensitivity of Elisa was a low (30.43%) whereas the specificity was a high (82.45%). The degree of agreement estimated by Kappa coefficient revealed a slight agreement (0.14) between two methods. The results indicated that goats infected
