Spectrum of central nervous system infections in neurosciences hospital in two years : a retrospective study
...Show More Authors

Background :Infectious disorders in general have high morbidity and mortality.. CNS infections include many disorders like bacterial meningitis, tuberculous and other subacute and chronic meningitis, viral meningitis, cerebral abscess, spinal cord infections, and others.
Objective: To assess our locality about prevalence of CNS infections , to have more awareness regarding CNS infections, and to try to find the proper way to reduce their prevalence and to treat them in appropriate way.
Method :We revised the records of all the cases of CNS infections excluding cases of spinal cord infections who were admitted in the wards of neuroscience hospital over the previous two years ( from July/2010 to June 2012 ),those were 132 cases.Seasonal incidenceand other clinical aspects and other parameters like age , sex, , fever are extracted and recorded
Results: The most common CNS infections in sequence from the most to the least were bacterial meningitis, viral encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis, viral meningitis, and cerebral abscess.
The most common age group which is affected by CNS infections was below 10 years.
Males are affected more than females taking in consideration all types of infection.
P values were statistically significant for age, fever, signs of meningeal irritation, focal neurological deficit, and seizures.
Conclusion : The total rate of admission of CNS infections in our series was lower than other study.
The most frequent type of CNS infections was bacterial meningitis which is the same as most of the studies.
Males are affected more than females in our study in all types of CNS infections, this was approximate to other studies except for tuberculous meningitis.
Bacterial meningitis and viral encephalitis were more common in preschool children in our study.
Fever rate in bacterial and tuberculous meningitis was different from other studies.
Seizure rate in bacterial meningitis and viral encephalitis was approximate to other results.
Rate of focal deficit in viral encephalitis and tuberculous meningitis was different from other studies.
Rate of CSF protein elevation in all CNS infections was approximate to other studies.
Rate of hypoglycorrhachia was different from other studies only in tuberculous meningitis.
CSF pleocytosis was approximate to other studies in all types of CNS infections.
The two most common types of CNS infections , bacterial meningitis and viral encephalitis, are more common in preschool age groups.

Structural Interpretation of Najaf Basin Using the Magnetic and Gravity Data, Central Iraq
...Show More Authors

Potential data interpretation is significant for subsurface structure characterization. The current study is an attempt to explore the magnetic low lying between Najaf and Diwaniyah Cities, In central Iraq. It aims to understand the subsurface structures that may result from this anomaly and submit a better subsurface structural image of the region. The study area is situated in the transition zone, known as the Abu Jir Fault Zone. This tectonic boundary is an inherited basement weak zone extending towards the NW-SE direction. Gravity and magnetic data processing and enhancement techniques; Total Horizontal Gradient, Tilt Angle, Fast Sigmoid Edge Detection, Improved Logistic, and Theta Map filters highlight source boundaries and the

A Comparative Study of Some Intestinal Parasites in Fecal Samples of Domestic and Stray Cats in Baghdad, Iraq
...Show More Authors

Some feline intestinal parasites such as Toxocara, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium can spread to humans through feces. Therefore, it is important to prevent exposure of family members by screening cat fecal samples twice per year for potential treatment regimes. This study was initiated to compare and identify gastrointestinal parasites of domestic and stray cats (Felis domesticus) in Baghdad City, Iraq. Parasite eggs and oocysts were identified under light microscopy by applying standard laboratory techniques (flotation and sedimentation). Overall, 59 of 121 (48.7%) fecal samples were positive for intestinal parasites. The rate of infection by Toxoplasma gondii was (3.31%), Isospora spp. (6.61%), Cryptosporidium spp. (31.4%), and Toxocara spp

Aim: To evaluate the effect of two bonding systems and two curing systems on sealing ability of class V composite restorative materials. Materials and methods: This study was performed in vitro on 40 caries free upper first premolar teeth. The Standardized class V cavity preparation on buccal and lin- gual surfaces of each tooth was done. Then the teeth were randomly divided into two major groups each of twenty. 40 cavities were performed on these teeth and the first group7th generation bonding agent (i Bond) were applied according to the manufacturer instructions and single increment of univer- sal composite (XRV Herculite) from kerr were applied and twenty of the cavities were cured with con- ventional light cure device (astralis-5) and t
