المستخلص: Bioactive Sphingolipids an important molecules of structural and signaling lipids. In this study was highlight on new biomarkers uses to investigate prostate cancer by using new method HPLC fluorescence detector to measure concentration and activity enzymes sphingosine - 1 - phosphate lyase enzyme (SPL) and Acid Ceramidase enzyme (AC) by used new material (BODIPY) aromatic structural is binding with enzymes and give fluorophore product sensitive by HPLC fluorescence detector in patients have BPH and PC in serum and tissue and comparing with healthy men as (control). Eliza method was used to measured sphingosine - 1 - phosphate and Ceramide in patients (BPH and PC) in serum and tissue with controls in serum. Sphingolipids metabolites pathological processes, are established regulators of myriad cellular and sphingolipids research is intricate due to the role of these molecules in vastly different biologics, interconnected metabolic pathways and structural properties. Ceramide and sphingosine - 1 - phosphate (S1P), SGPL and AC have been defined as reciprocal regulators of cellular fate, and not surprisingly have been targeted for their role in cancer and their therapeutic potential, sphingolipid metabolic enzymes and lipids are metabolically interconnected and highlight recent findings to support the reciprocal role of Ceramide and S1P in cellular processes and in cancer. Studies show increase levels markers in serum and tissue in BPH and PC with healthy men and different Km and V max in AC and SPL between healthy, BPH and PC patients also this reaction was noncompetitive inhibition with enzyme because V max was change and Km was not change in all cases these results were accepted with studies in America and Spain (Liu, Y.Y.; Patwardhan, G.A.;et al. 2011).IXAim of study1 - 1 - The main aim of this study is found a new sensitive and specific bio markers for diagnosis prostatic cancer And other goals of conducting this study are : 2 - To measure activity of Acid ceramidase and Sphingosine - 1 - Phospate Lyase in sera and prostate tissue of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer and compare these activities of enzymes with normal controls.3 - To determine the concentration of bioactive Sphingolipids Ceramide and Sphingosine - 1 - phosphate in tissues and sera of the patients and control.4 - To correlate the level of bioactive lipids with serum PSA concentration to detect their use as additional biomarker for diagnosis and follow up of patient with prostate cancer.Methods : A case - control study design was employed in this study. On a total of 30 patients with confirmed PC, 30 patients with BPH and age matched 30 healthy men. Prostate tissue samples were obtained for patients were serum and urine samples were collected for patients and controls. Enzyme linked immune assay (Elisa) was used to measure S1P and Ceramide concentration in serum and tissue, while HPLC fluorescence detector was used to estimate activities of SPL and AC and measured Km and V max. Urine and serum samples were undergone biochemistry analysis. HbA1c was used to measure cumulative sugar for three groups. Protein in tissue was measure by brad ford method to PC and BPH patients.Results : The results showed that increase levels of Sphingosine 1 phosphate lyase and Acid ceramidase in serum and tissue in BPH and Malignant cancer in men these levels were different result in patient wereXtaken drugs or not and patients were taken chemotherapy or not and activity, Km and Vmax of enzyme SPL and AC were different in BPH and PC that men is inhibition enzymes was noncompetitive it had same Km but different data of control, BPH and PC men in tissue and serum.The concentration of S1P and Ceramide were different levels with control, and high levels in patients without any drugs or chemotherapy while levels of these markers still low with patients were taken drugs or chemotherapy and level of protein in tissue were raised. Results of biochemistry analysis still normal because we take patients without any D.M., renal failure, and hypertension.

المستخلص: Background : Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lack of insulin production, it is the most common type of diabetes in childhood. T1DM was listed among the causes of growth retardation in children. Glycemic control is an important factor in growth of children with T1DM.Objectives : To assess growth parameters (height, weight and body mass index [BMI] )in children with T1DM, and to study the impact of age at diagnosis, duration of disease, and glycemic control on growth indices.Patients and methods : A cross sectional study was conducted at diabetic clinic in Children Welfare Teaching hospital - Medical City - Baghdad, for the period from the 1st of February to the end of May 2017. A total of 100 children with T1DM between (2 - 14) years of both gender was included in the study, the information were obtained directly during interview including : relevant demographic data, disease information (age at diagnosis, duration of disease and type of presentation). Also each patient had two measurements for weight in kilogram and height in centimeter first one was measured by researcher at the time of interview and the second one obtained from their case file around the time of diagnosis.Results : A total of 100 children with T1DM included in this study showed that male to female ratio were equal. Peak age of children at diagnosis was less than 5 years. Most of patients presented with classical signs and symptom (64%). Of the total diabetic children in this study, (5%), (2%), and (5%) were stunted, wasted and underweight, respectively. Duration of T1DM was a significant determinant of growth indices (height and weight). Conclusions and Recommendations : Retarded growth indices (height and weight) were the highest growth problems among diabetic children. Duration of diabetes was an important determinant of growth parameters. We recommend for paying attention to anthropometric measurements in management of T1DM and participation of PHCC in the management plan.

المستخلص: Acute myeloid leukemia is a hematological malignancy of myeloid progenitor cells characterized by anomalous proliferation, inhibition of differentiation and extension of leukemic cells blocked at the early stage of hematopoiesis. It has a great variability in the pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment outcomes. Detection of molecular markers has become a smart tool to further division of patients in acute myeloid leukemia subgroups.Nucleophosmin1 mutations are found in approximately 30% of adult acute myeloid leukemia patients and are associated with a good outcome when detected in absence of duplications in the Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 gene. Over 50 molecular Nucleophosmin1 mutation variants have been recognized; the most common one is Nucleophosmin1 - A mutation.The Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor is expressed on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells and plays a vital role in normal hematopoiesis. Numerous studies have revealed that high levels of Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 were expressed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 - Internal tandem duplication mutations are found in around 20 - 25% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia and are associated with increased transcript level of Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 and with a poor scenario in adult acute myeloid leukemia patients.Aim of the Study1. Detect the frequency of Nucleophosmin1 - A; Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 - Internal tandem duplication along with assessment of Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 transcript expression in a sample of newly diagnosed Iraqi adult acute myeloid leukemia patients.2. Study the relationship of Nucleophosmin1 - A, Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 - Internal tandem duplication mutations and Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3VItranscript expression with various clinicopathological parameters and French - American - British subtypes of the disease as well as the correlation among the three markers.Materials and MethodsThis is a cross - sectional study, conducted during the period extending between April 2015 and September 2016. The bone marrow aspirate samples of 53 adult acute myeloid leukemia patients were collected at the time of diagnosis and prior to treatment at the Hematology Ward of Baghdad Teaching Hospital in Medical City compared with 53 control individuals. All the control bone marrows obtained from patients with anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and were negative for infiltrative lesions. The related clinical and laboratory data for each patient were registered at the time of diagnosis.The study was conducted at Main Laboratory of Baghdad Teaching Hospital/ Medical City, Clinical and Communicable Diseases Research Center/College of Medicine/ University of Baghdad and Postgraduate Laboratory of Pathology and FoThe RNA was extracted and was reverse transcribed into cDNA. Real time polymerase chain reaction technique was applied on bone marrow aspirate samples of acute myeloid leukemia and control groups to detect the frequency of Nucleophosmin1 - A mutation, Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 expression using a TaqMan probe and SYBR green assays respectively and detection of Fms - like tyrosine kinase 3 - Internal tandem duplication mutation using gel electrophoresis post polymerase chain reaction procedure

المستخلص: Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) is a left ventricular (LV) volume overload lesion with a long latency period prior to symptom development. Prior to symptoms, patients may exhibit normal exercise tolerance associated with LV remodeling and a preserved ejection fraction (EF).Conventional echocardiography has many limitations in prediction of early LV systolic dysfunction. Therefore; early detection of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction is crucial and could influence patients' prognosis by aiding the clinician to candidate patients for better management.Recently, 2 - D speckle tracking echocardiography have been shown to be useful noninvasive tools for detecting subtle LV contractile changes in the prior to reduced LVEF in patients with chronic AR .Aim of the Study : To detect early LV systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patient with chronic aortic regurgitation by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography comparing that to conventional echocardiographic systolic parameters (EF by Simpson’s method and MAPSE ) and tissue Doppler echocardiographic systolic parameter ( s) .Patients and Methods : Sixty one asymptomatic patients with chronic aortic regurgitation, with no ischemic heart diseases ( by Angiography ) or conductive heart diseases, no diabetes mellitus, no hypertension, and no other valvular heart diseases (group 1) and fifty age and sex - matched healthy subjects (group 2) were enrolled into the study. Group (1) was further classified into 3 sub - groups according to 4 chosen parameters from the published guidelines of ASE into : Mild AR, Moderate AR, and Severe AR.All patients and controls underwent echocardiographic examination including conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler study and 2 - D Speckle Tracking Echocardiography.Results : As compared to other systolic parameters ,global longitudinal strain measured by 2 - D speckle tracking echocardiography was the most useful tool to detect subtle LV systolic dysfunction with sensitivity and specificity of 75.4% and 99% respectively and AUC of 0.928 for a cut off value of > ( - 19.62).Moreover, GLS has highest sensitivity and specificity in detection of subtle LV systolic dysfunction in moderate AR .In moderate AR ,a cut off value of > ( - 19.62) has sensitivity and specificity of 91.3% and 95.5% respectively, with PPV and NPV of 87.5% and 96.9% respectively, AUC of 0.981 and a P value of <0.0001. In all types of AR, GLS had higher NPV than PPV which makes it a powerful screening tool for early detection of subtle LV systolic dysfunction.Conclusion : Global Longitudinal strain measured by 2 - D speckle tracking echocardiography is an excellent tool for early detection of subtle LV systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with chronic AR.

Very few studies have been reported regarding the pulmonary hypertension in active pulmonary tuberculosis. Aims of study : To assess the incidence of pulmonary hypertension in active pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the absence of other lung disease or primary cardiac disease. Materials and Methods : During the period from 1st of December 2016 to 30th of May 2017, a cross - sectional study was done on 50 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. For all patients, detailed history, careful clinical examination, electrocardiography (ECG), chest x ray (CXR), and routine blood tests were done. All patients evaluated by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography including estimation of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE). Results : Among 50 active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, 4 had pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ≥40 mm Hg, 2 of them had right ventricular dilation and TAPSE <16mm. The incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PHT) among active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients was 8%.There was a significant association between PTB patients with PHT and higher mean age (p=0.01), higher Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (p<0.0001), chest pain (p=0.01), lower oxygen saturation (SpO2) (p=0.001), sinus tachycardia (p=0.01) and Pericardial effusion (p=0.01). No significant differences between PTB patients with and without PHT regarding smoking history and CXR finding of pulmonary tuberculosis lesion regarding unilateral and bilateral involvement and cavitary lesion. Conclusion : Pulmonary hypertension among active pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the absence of other lung disease or primary cardiac disease is not uncommon in this study.

المستخلص: Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve injury process by disease or so on leading to damage of peripheral nervous system . Diabetes mellitus and compression are most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. Vitamins (B1,B6 and B12) commonly used for treatment of peripheral neuropathy. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of vitamins (B1,B6 and B12) on nerve regeneration and recovery after induced sciatic nerve crush injury in experimental animal model.Seventy five male Swiss albino rats were divided randomly into five groups and each group consisted of 15 animals. Group A( which considered as control positive(with crush injury) received normal saline intramuscularly for 45days. Group B received vitamin B1 , group C received vitamin B6 , group D received vitamin B12 and group E which considered as control negative(no crush injury and no treatment) . All animals were injected vitamins intramuscularly for 45days. Tail flick test time was reduced in rats treated with vitamin B12 after crush injury to the Sciatic nerve. Mid thigh circumference (MTC) was significantly increase in B12 treated group after crush injury to the Sciatic nerve. Data analysis was performed by SPSS 20 software using descriptive statistics.IVHistological examination of rats sciatic nerves stain by H&E on day 15 showing degenerative nerve fibers with Schwann cell infiltration in all groups but it is less prominent in group D. On day 45 histological examination of rats gastrocnemius muscles exhibited separation of bundles muscle fibers by connective tissue, variation of fibers in size and shape with atrophy of muscle bundles in all groups .While these were less prominent in rats treated with B12.Van Giesons staining of rat sciatic nerves on day 45 after crush injury. In all groups experimental and control (B,C,D,A) showing degenerative nerve fibers in different areas but less in group D and better organized sciatic nerve fibers in group D.Finally, Immunohistochemical study of (anti S100 protein) of rat sciatic nerves on day 45showed strong activity for those rats treated with vitamin B12 while rats treated with vitamin B1 and B6 exhibited moderate and weak activities respectively .In conclusion vitamin B12 promote peripheral nerve regeneration more than vitamin B1and vitamin B6.

المستخلص: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; its incidence is increasing in developing countries. It is estimated that 17.5 million individuals die from CVD each year, accounting for 31% of all deaths worldwide; more than 75% of these deaths occur in low to middle income population. Understanding the pathogenesis of IHD has been modified over the years and many new genetic risk factors have been recognized. Attention is now focused towards understanding the genetic basis of IHD. Enormous effort has been invested in understanding the genes and specific DNA sequence variations responsible for this heritability and genetic polymorphisms might be risk factors that predispose to IHD.Aim of Study : To analyze the genetic risk factors among Iraqi patients with acute IHD and to determine the frequency of each type of mutation / polymorphism.Patients, Materials & Methods : This is a cross sectional study that recruited 56 patients admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) of Ibn Al - Nafees Teaching Hospital with a clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction and unstable angina) during a two - month period between December 8th, 2015 and February 8th, 2016. All cases <50 years with acute MI or angina were included, while those >50 years and those with documented hyperlipidemia were excluded.Demographic and clinical data of the enrolled patients were reported. Two - three ml of peripheral blood samples were aspirated from all recruited patients and collected in K2EDTA tube to be store at - 20oC for further DNA analysis. Molecular analysis to detect 12 commonIIImutations/ polymorphisms, namely : FV G1691A (Leiden), FV H1299R (R2), Prothrombin C20210A, Factor Xlll V34L, β - Fibrinogen - 455 G - A, PAI - 1 4G/5G, GPllla L33P (HPA - 1), MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, ACE l/D, Apo B R3500Q, and Apo E2/E3/E4 was performed by PCR amplification using biotinylated primers and hybridization of amplification products to a test strip containing allele - specific oligonucleotide probes immobilized as an array of parallel lines. The bound biotinylated sequences were detected using streptavidin - alkaline phosphatase and color substrates according to the manufacturers’ instructions.Results : The age range of patients was 18 - 50 years, with a mean ±SD of 40±7 years. The vast majority of enrolled cases were males (54/56 (96.4%). The traditional risk factors were frequently encountered in the current study (hypertension 21.4%, diabetes 26.8%, smoking 75%, family history of IHD 48.2%, and previous attack of ischemia 23.2%). Serum troponin was positive in 72.2% of cases. The study found that the genotype frequencies of 12 genetic mutations / polymorphisms were as follows :  MTHFR A1298C and C677T were the highest reported mutations among the study group (62.5%) and (50%) respectively, followed by β - fibrinogen gene mutation detected in (46.5%), and PAI - 1 4G/5G polymorphism which was detected in (75%) of patients, while PAI - 1 4G/4G was detected in (16.1%) of patients. Homozygous ACE D/D polymorphism was present in 35.7% in our cases and heterozygous HPA - 1(a/b) polymorphisms was present in 28.6%. The E4 allele of Apo E gene was present in 7.1% of the studied cases.IV Heterozygous factor XIII (FXIII) V34L variant was detected in 21.4% patients, while homozygous state was detected in 3.6% patients, i.e. 25% of selected cases had Leu allele,  Heterozygous FV R2 was detected in 12.5%, and factor V Leiden mutation was detected in 1.8%, while no abnormal homozygous alleles were detected.  Prothrombin G20210A mutation were detected in 1(1.8%) patient. Neither heterozygous nor homozygous states for the mutant Apo B allele were detected in this study. The study showed no statistically significant difference between age group I (<40 years) and age group II (40 - 50 years), but the study showed higher frequency for some genes like PAI - 1(4G) and Apo E4 alleles in group I than group II (100% versus 85.3%) and (13.6% versus 2.9%) respectively, while HPA - 1 (a/b) polymorphism was higher frequent in group II than group I (35.3% versus18.2%).Subgroup analysis of the studied traditional risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, family history of ischemic heart disease) showed that β - Fibrinogen mutation had higher frequency in smoker patients than nonsmokers (50% versus 35.71%), the D allele of ACE gene was more frequent in hypertensive than in non - hypertensive patients (91.7% versus 79.5%), and higher frequency of HPA - 1b allele in diabetic than non - diabetic patients 46.7% versus 22%).Genetic risk score (0 - 16) was established according to the number of risky alleles detected in each case; the results showed that all patients had at least 2 genetic risk factors and none had more than 8; the study also showed that patients with 4 or more risky genes represented 82.14% of the studied patients, and that the risk of IHD increases in those who carry 4 or more genetic risk factors when associated with at least one traditional risk factor.

Osteoarthritis has believed to be principally a cartilage defect associated with focal articular cartilage degradation. Alendronate sodium (ALN) interferes with normal bone formation and turnover cycle in the body by slowing bone loss with elevating bone mass. . Aims of the study : This study was done to evaluate the effects of alendronate sodium on disease activity and physical function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, to evaluate the biochemical parameters in osteoarthritis patients including serum alkaline phosphate, calcium, c - reactive protein and lipid profile in form of analysis of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein. Also to study the impact of ALN on anabolic in form analysis of serum transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF - β1) , cartilage degradative in form of C - terminal cross linked - telopeptide of type II collagen (CTXII), Myloperoxidase (MPO) and leptin markers in osteoarthritis patients and to determine its effectiveness in slowing progression of disease. .Patients and methods : The patients were habitants of the cities of Al - Diwaniyhia (consulting the Rheumatologic Unit in Al - Diwanyhia Teaching Hospital) and Baghdad (consulting the Rheumatologic Unit in Baghdad Teaching Hospital). From those patients, 116 osteoarthritic patients 45 years old and more with Kellgren and Lawrence X - ray grade II and more with knee pain were enrolled in this study. Base line assessment was done including measurement of joint space width, assessment of WOMAC scoring(pain, function and stiffness), body mass index and the biochemical parameters (serum alkaline phosphate, calcium, c - reactive protein and lipid profile in form of analysis of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein) with enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis of serum (transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF - β1) , C - terminal cross linked - telopeptide of type II collagen (CTXII), MPO and Leptin. They were instructed to take ALN 10 mg daily. Reassessment was done after 3 months of treatment. Results : A significant symptomatic improvement in WOMAC scoring regarding pain and stiffness (P<0.001) were observed associated with non significant improvement in function, significant reduction (P<0.001) in serum CTXII, Leptin and TGF - β1. A nonsignificant reduction in serum calcium and MPO, associated with no significant changes in serum Alkaline phosphatase, C - reactive protein, lipid profile(serum cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein) and joint space width were also reported. CTX II after treatment showed no significant correlation with BMI, however it showed significant positive correlations with WOMAC score. On the other hand, TGF - β1 showed significant positive correlation with BMI, but no significant correlations with WOMAC score. Conclusion : Alendronate sodium in patients with osteoarthritis has clinical efficacy in reducing symptoms especially pain through inhibition of leptin and CTXII with no significant structural improvement despite reduction of CTXII and TGF - β1 with no effects on inhibition of further disease progression. Relatively safe in old patients with dyslipidemia since there is no associated lipid disturbances with ALN. The reduction in level of CTX - II in the present study may be considered as one of the mode of actions of alendronate in patients with osteoarthritis

المستخلص: Colonic cancer is a very common disease world - wide being fourth most common cancer characterized by abnormal proliferation of the epithelium of colon at beginning then taking full colon wall thickness then to surrounding lymph nodes and tissues and finally metastasis. It is one of most complicated diseases with debilitating symptoms which becomes more severe, prominent and specific with advancing stage with high percent of fatality and relatively short survival if diagnosed late or if left untreated.Therefore, finding an easy, non - invasive and readily available means (marker) of screening and diagnosing colonic cancer would be of great value particularly if the same biomarker can be used for diagnosis, screening, prognosis and monitoring the efficacy of different treatment modalities.Aims of study : - To investigate the efficacy and validity of serum Cancer Antigen 19 - 9 (CA19 - 9) and Colon Cancer Specific Antigen - 4 (CCSA - 4) levels in the screening and prognosis of colon cancer and their validity for this.Patients and methods : - This study was applied on 35 patients (17 females & 18 males) with colon cancer with ages ranged 53 - 82 years old ( 6 patients received chemotherapy and 5 of them have undergone surgical removal of the primary tumor and 4 different patients received immunotherapy) with 20 smokers and 4 alcoholic, 35 patients (19 females & 16 males) with benign polyps ages ranged 29 - 56 years old and 16 (7 females & 9 males) negative controls ages ranged 25 - 43 years age. According to DUKE's staging : 6 colon cancer patients were stage A, 12 were stage B, 12 were stage C and 5 were stage D.All individuals in this study (whom attended Baghdad Teaching Hospital and Gastroenterology and Hepatic Diseases Center) were subjected to blood sampling for measuring their serum CA19 - 9 and CCSA - 4 using Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) technique which was done at microbiology unit / university of Baghdad.Results : - The present study has shown that colonic cancer patients were presented at ages between 53 - 82 years of age (mean 68.5±6.4 years of age).Serum levels of CCSA - 4 were significantly elevated in those patients with advancing stages (C & D) compared with stages (A & B) and lower levels found in patients who had surgical removal of tumor or received chemotherapy.Also a positive relation found between CCSA - 4 with alcohol intake and smoking, however, less significant levels and relations found with CA19 - 9.Conclusion : - Serum CCSA - 4 is sensitive and specific indicator for diagnosis, prognosis and screening of colonic cancer.

المستخلص: Background : Injuries and violence are among the most prominent public health problems in the world, as well as being a leading cause of mortality.Globally, each year more than 11,000 people are estimated to die within homes from preventable unintentional injuries. The majority (73%) of family victims were females.Objectives : This study is conducted to describe the epidemiological characteristics, estimate incidence and identify mechanism of fatal female domestic injuries (FFDI) in Iraq for the period of 2010 - 2015.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted on all female home fatalities reported from all the coroner offices in Iraq for the period of 2010 - 2015 as part of Iraqi Injury Surveillance System (IISS). The injury surveillance form included detailed data on the demographics, injury circumstances and injury mechanisms. Populations' data of the country and the provinces were obtained from Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Planning.Results : The total number of FFDI during this period was 9,181with an average annual incidence of 11.9/100,000 female population (FP). FFDI represented 13.1% of total Fatal Injuries of IISS and 53.3% of domestic fatal injuries of IISS.Page II The incidence of FFDI decreased from 12.4/100,000FP in 2010 to 11/100,000FP in 2015. Mean age group was 47years, 55% occurred at the age group 10 - 29 years. The highest incidence 21.4/100,000FP was recorded at the age group 20 - 29 years. About 72% of FFDI were unintentional with average annual incidence 8.4 /100,000FP and 72% occurred during 6am - 5pm. The main causes of FFDI were : Burn (62%), electric injury (11.5%), and gun fire (7%) with average annual incidence 7.4, 1.3, and 0.7/100,000FP, respectively. The highest average incidence was reported in Erbil (22.3/100,000FP), Misan (20.2/100,000FP), and Sulaimaniya governorates (16.8/100,000FP) Conclusions : There is a need for implementing of effective community based preventive programs by regulatory measures, environmental changes, and education which may play a crucial role in the prevention of injuries in female home environments.

المستخلص: Background : Assessment of communicable diseases surveillance officers is regarded as one of important aspects for the detection of obstacles that prevent the development of surveillance system which would certainly affect the control programs of these diseases.Objective : To assess the background characteristics communicable diseases' surveillance officers at all district levels of all Iraqi provinces .Method : A cross sectional study from the 15th March to 30th September,2017 in which all the communicable diseases' surveillance officers (136) that are employed by MOH all over Iraq were included. A structured questionnaire developed by the researcher and explained during coordination meeting for the surveillance unit in DOH/ MOH. It was then sent by e mail to the surveillance focal persons in DOHs at the provinces level. The questionnaire form gathered demographic data, service characteristics and status of their competencies including : basic epidemiology, biostatistics, surveillance, outbreak investigation, rapid response to health incidence, laboratory models, developing scientific reports and the basic computers skills.Results : The response rate was 85.3%, about half of surveillance officers was responsible for less than 10 PHCC, while only 13.8% were responsible for 20 - 29 centres. More than half of surveillance officers (55.3%) were responsible for 1 - 2 hospitals, while only 9.6% were responsible for 3 - 4 hospitals. The age of study participants ranged between 21 and 62 years and the males constituted more than three quarters (78.4%) of the study sample, Diploma was the highest educational certificate. Those who did not attend any training activity constituted 15.6% of the study sample. Cholera was the most frequently reported incident investigated in an outbreak activity (53.8%). Food poisoning was the most frequently reported incident for a rapid response activity (43.8%).Microsoft word was the most frequently reported skill that reached the required level of proficiency (48.3%).Conclusions and recommendations : The health surveillance system in Iraq at district level was operated mainly by low qualified and under - trained health personnel. There is inequity in distribution of work load (regarding PHCCs and hospitals) and training sessions between surveillance officers in health offices, therefore redistribution is recommended which is the responsibility of health policy makers during the planning and implementing health programs.Supporting continuous training programs on epidemiology, biostatistics, outbreak investigation, computer skills and writing scientific research with increase incentives. Availability of computer and internet facilities must be financed.

المستخلص: Background : Hemophilia is an X - linked bleeding disorder that affects males mainly. Globally, there are about 400,000 people with hemophilia and only 25%of them receive adequate treatment. There is insufficient epidemiological data on hemophilia in Iraq, so this study was conducted to estimate the prevalence, incidence and other epidemiological characteristics of hemophilia patients in Baghdad, 2016.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted by reviewing all records of hemophilia patients for 2016 that retrieved through visiting all hemophilia centers in Baghdad. Corresponding population data of Baghdad was obtained from the Ministry of Planning.Results : The total number of the registered hemophilia patients in Baghdad centers who are residents of Baghdad was 654. The current prevalence of hemophilia was 7.7/100,000 population and it was 3.6/100,000 population in 2007. The current incidence of hemophilia was 16.3/100,000 livebirths and it was 8.4/100,000 livebirths in 2007. Severe hemophilia represented 63.4% from all types and the male patients represented 97.1%. The prevalence of HCV was 22.9%, for HBV was 0.9% and 0.2% for HIV. Inhibitors werepositive in 11.6% of hemophilia patients. Target joints found among 45.1% of patients. About 27% of patients were on prophylactic therapy. Only one death was recorded among hemophilia patients in Baghdad, 2016.Conclusions : The prevalence and incidence of hemophilia in Baghdad was doubled in 10 years' period. We recommended establishing an electronic national registry to have a perfect database for hemophilia and enhancing the prophylactic treatment.

المستخلص: Background : Diarrhea is one of the principle causes of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. It was the second leading cause of death in children under five years, accounting for 9 % of all deaths among children under age 5 worldwide in 2015. Despite the availability of simple effective treatment, about 1,400 young children die each day which is equivalent to 526,000 children a year. According to Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS - 4), the incidence of diarrhea in Iraq was 15% .Theobjective of this study was to identify the incidence and deaths of acute diarrhea in children under five year in Iraq, 2016. Methods : A descriptive cross - sectional study by reviewing all reported data from the directorate of health all over Iraq to the surveillance section in the Communicable Diseases Control Center in Baghdad. Incidence and case fatality rate (CFR) for <5 years population were calculated.Results : The total number of acute diarrheal cases was 251,388. A total of outpatient was 211,665(84%) and 39723(16%) was admitted cases. Male to female ratio was 1.1 : 1. Incidence of acute diarrhea was 47/1,000, the highest incidence was in Diwaniya (119.2 / 1,000), Erbil (89.8 /1,000), and Thiqar (77/1,000). The total death due to acute diarrhea was 154, male : female ratio was 1.2 : 1 and most deaths occur in children <1year (60.4%). CFR was 0. 77/1,000, the highest case fatality rate was in : Baghdad - Karkh (3.70/1,000), Diyala (2.49/1,000), and Diwaniya (1.14/1,000).Proportional mortality rate (PMR) was 7.7/1,000; the highest PMR was in Diwaniya (24.8/1,000), Salah aldin (18.9/1,000), and Diyala (17.5/1,000). Percentage of ORS used was 85%.The completeness of reported site for all provinces was 88%.Conclusion Diarrhea is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five years, which need to pay more attention for PHC intersectoral cooperation and community participation, and encouragement of Breast feeding.

المستخلص: Vaccination is a great public health achievement in human history. Annually, vaccines prevent more than 2.5 million child deaths globally. In 2016, about 19.5 million infants worldwide were not covered by DTP3, 60% of them live in 10 countries including Iraq. According to WHO and UNICEF, one third of below one year infants did not complete their immunization schedule. Wasit is among the governorates with a large number of underimmunized children. High quality immunization session practices (ISPs) can ensure safer, more effective vaccination and higher coverage rates. Objectives : To assess ISPs in Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) in Wasit, and if ISPs are correlated to some PHCs’ characteristics.Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted on 14 PHCs. One fourth of PHCs in each district were selected using simple random sampling. Each PHC was visited once to assess ISPs, using a modified WHO immunization session checklists. Information on vaccinators and PHC’s were collected using two, self - designed questionnaires.Results : PHCs were scoring variably in ISPs, ranging from 0.52 to 0.78 with a mean of 0.68 ± 0.07. ISPs were grouped into seven domains (mean) : vaccine management (0.51), cold chain management (0.40), session equipment (0.88), communication (0.27), vaccine preparation and administration (0.72), registration (0.83) and waste management (0.84). Three of PHCs’ characteristics : population size, below one - year monthly target and average number of daily vaccinees showed statistically significant, negative correlation with ISPs which was of intermediate strength.Conclusion : None of the PHCs was practicing near standard ISPs. ISPs showed statistically significant, negative correlation, of intermediate strength with population size, below one - year monthly target and average number of daily vaccinees for each PHC
