Abstract: Background : Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) followingabdominal surgery are frequent and associated with increased morbidity andmortality, and hospital length of stay.Study objective : The aim of the study was to identify pulmonarycomplications following abdominal surgical procedures and to identifyperioperative risk factors associated with the development of thesecomplications.Patients and Methods : this is a hospitalized - based cross - sectional study. Arandomly selected sample of 52 patients who developed pulmonarysymptom(s) following abdominal surgical procedures at surgical wards ofBaghdad teaching hospital from November 2015 to June 2016. Perioperativedata were collected through interview and char review, and their associationwith the occurrence of PPCs were analyzed. Cross tabulation and Chi - squaretest were used to analyze the discrete variables and their relationship to the PPCs while one way ANOVA was used to analyze the continuous variables and their relationship to the PPCs.Results : The following PPCs were identified : 33 pneumonia, 5 acute respiratory failure, 4 basal atelectasis, 3 pleural effusion, 3 pulmonary embolism, 3 exacerbation of COPD or asthma and 1 pulmonary edema.Perioperative risk factors associated with development of PPCs were identified : current smoking history (p value = 0.042), preexisting comorbid disease (p value = 0.001), emergency surgery (p value = 0.045), upper abdominal (p value = 0.012) or both upper/lower abdominal incisions (p value = 0.026), duration of surgery ≥ 3 hours (p value = 0.049) and NG tube placement postoperatively (p value = 0.043). Conclusions : The most common PPC following abdominal surgery is pneumonia. There is no significant difference between laparoscopy and laparotomy in term of PPCs following abdominal surgery. Six perioperative risk factors associated with the occurrence of PPCs following abdominal surgery were identified which are current smoking history, preexisting comorbid diseases, emergency surgery, upper abdominal or both upper/lower abdominal incisions, duration of surgery more than or equal to three hours and NG tube placement postoperatively.

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. It is a chronic condition which affects the respiratory system and worsens over time. Pulmonary hypertension, one of the major and under diagnosed complications of COPD which have a great impact on outcome of the disease and associated with frequent exacerbations and poor prognosis.Echocardiography provides a rapid, noninvasive, portable, and accurate method to evaluate changes related to pulmonary hypertension in COPD.Aim of Study : To study pulmonary artery systolic pressure and TAPSE(Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion) in patients with COPD by 2D ECHO Doppler and correlate them with severity of COPD.Method : Cross sectional study was conducted on 50 COPD patients in Baghdad teaching hospital (age>40 year)from first of January to the end of June, 2017.First, the diagnosis of COPD was confirmed and evaluated for staging by history, clinical examination , and spirometry.All patients have undergone ECG and 2D echocardiography and systolic pulmonary artery pressure and Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) were calculated. Patients with other cardiac or respiratory problems (asthma, pulmonary TB, lung malignancy, connective tissue diseases, interstitial lung disease, ischemic heart disease, left side heart failure) were excluded from this study.VIIResults : Study of PASP by TR jet with the use of 2D ECHO on 50 patients with COPD showed that 20 patients had normal echo study , mild increase in PASP was found in 15 patients, moderate 11, and severe increase in 4 patients.Study of TAPSE by 2D ECHO showed that 35 patients had normal TAPSE values ,while others 15 had abnormal values classified as mild ,moderate, and severe : 3,9,3,respectively.There were significant associations between echo findings of increasing PASP and abnormal TAPSE, with decrease in FEV1, and oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximeter, duration since COPD was diagnosed and MRC dyspnea scale.Conclusion : There is a high incidence of pulmonary hypertension with increasing severity of COPD . Echocardiography is useful and effective tool for detection of PHT secondary to COPD.

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.

Abstract: Background : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a syndrome of progressive airflow limitation caused by the abnormal inflammatory reaction of the airway and lung parenchyma. Osteoporosis is one of the major extrapulmonary manifestations of COPD. The, prevalence of osteoporosis in COPD patients in Iraqi population is unknown.Objectives : To study the incidence of osteoporosis among COPD patients and its relations to various risk factors.Materials and Methods : The study was done in Baghdad Teaching hospital.All the diagnosed cases of 70 COPD patients according to the GOLD guidelines were included in this study. The present study was a cross sectional study during a period of August 2014 - Octoper 2015 . A brief history of the patients was taken, especially regarding duration of illness, number of exacerbations in the past 3 years, smoking in pack years, and history of steroid use (both systemic and inhaled steroids) after which cumulative dose of steroids was calculated. Spirometry was done in all these patients to stage the severity of COPD according to GOLD criteria. DEXA scan of the lumbar spine was done using bone densitometer to determine osteoporosis. (WHO) criterion for definition of osteoporosis was applied and patients with T - score of below −2.5 standarddeviation (SD) were diagnosed to have osteoporosis, −1 SD to −2.5 SD were diagnosed to have osteopenia and more than −1 SD as normal.Results : A total of 70 COPD patients were included in this study, Among these, 36 patients (51.4%) had osteoporosis and 23 patients (32.8%) had osteopenia.Majority (94.4%) of the patients who had osteoporosis had stage III and stage IV COPD disease. It was observed that as the severity grade of COPD increased , the risk of osteoporosis also increased. The bone mineral density (BMD) showed a significant difference among different stages of COPD. It was also observed that patients with lower body mass index (BMI) had higher prevalence of osteoporosis (91.7%) as compared to overweight patients. On univariate analysis, it was observed that risk factors for osteoporosis were female sex, higher number of exacerbations, BMI, and severity of COPD. After using multivariate analysis, stage IV COPD , number of acute exacerbations >3 in the previous 3 years , and steroid cumulative dose >1000 mg were observed to be significant risk factors for osteoporosis in COPD patients.

Abstract: Background : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is responsible for permanent morbidity, premature mortality and great burden to the healthcare system. The most commonly encountered risk factor is tobacco smoking. Without screening, patients usually overlook early symptoms of cough wheezes but commonly seek medical advice when they become dyspnic on mild to moderate exertion. By that time, half of their ventilatory reserves are lost. Spirometry remains the gold standard for diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and monitoring its progression.Aim of study : Early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in asymptomatic male current smokers and ex - smokers by spirometry.Patients and methods : Consecutive asymptomatic male current smokers (n=100) and ex - smokers (n=100) were participated in screening. All Participants have no history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, chronic respiratory illness or active pulmonary symptoms. Also all of them not on bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, Montelukast, or theophylline.Results : A total of 100 asymptomatic male current smokers and 100 asymptomatic male ex - smokers were screened by spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society guidelines. Overall, airway obstruction was seen in 49 (49%) current smokers, mild obstruction was seen in 22 (22%) and moderate obstruction in 27 (27%) subjects, while in ex - smokers airway obstruction was seen in 52 (52%), mild obstruction was seen in 13 (13%) and moderate obstruction was seen in 39 (39%) subjects.Conclusions and recommendations : Early diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by spirometry will encourage smoking cessation and enable earlier interventions to help prevent exacerbations and hopefully preserve lung function, quality of life and decrease mortality

Abstract: Background : Shisha (wp) smoking is becoming a more prevalent form of tobacc consumption, and is growing worldwide, particularly among the young generation in the Middle East especially among urban youth, college students, and young professionals. However there is limited data about the effects of water - pipe smoking. Publicly considered as aharmless entertainment. Many studies have shown that water pipe smoking associated with development of varying degrees of reduction in the lung function.Objectives : The aim of this study is to assess the effect of water pipe smoking on pulmonary functions with regard to the duration and amount of smoking among different groups of male smokers : water pipe smokers, cigarette smokers, and compare it with a control (nonsmokers) group. Methods : This is a comparative crosssectional study which conducted on 300 male subjects, subdivided into two groups of smokers : 100 water pipe smokers, 100 cigarette smokers and 100 nonsmokers as a control group, all participants were apparently healthy and matched for gender, they were selected from random cafes in al nassirryha city. Data were collected through structured questionnaire and pulmonary function test was performed by portable Spiro lab III spirometer after gaining the participant consent. Results : There was significant differences between the mean ages of the study groups (p value<0.05).water pipe smokers (35.44±10.79) cigarette smokers (46.09±10.54), and nonsmokers (35.55±11.07). The present study revealed that there was a significant reduction in the parameters of the pulmonary function test ( FEV1 ), (FVC )(FEV1/FVC),(PEF),(FEF25 - 75%)and(MVV)for the two groups of smokers as compared to the control group ( P < 0.01 ) .Lung function impairments were very severe in water pipe smokers as compare with cigarette smokers( P < 0.05 ). There were significant inverse correlations between all PFT values and duration and total amount of WP smoking and number of WP smoked per week(P < 0.01) .Conclusion : The results from this study showed that there was a profound effect of WP smoking on PFT values, which were more severe to the effects of cigarette smoking.Keyword : water pipe smoker ,pulmonary function test, nassiryha - Iraq.

Abstract: Background : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and result in an economic and social burden that is substantial and increasing.COPD has considerable effects on cardiac functions, including those of the right ventricle, left ventricle, and pulmonary blood vessels. Most of the increased mortality associated with COPD is due to cardiac involvement. Echocardiography(Echo) provides a rapid, noninvasive, portable, and accurate method to evaluate the cardiac changes.Aim of study : To assess cardiac changes secondary to COPD by echocardiography and to find if there is a correlation between echocardiographic findings and severity of COPD.Materials and Methods : A total 50 of patients with COPD were diagnosed and staged by pulmonary function test (PFT) according to GOLD criteria into 4 stages . For all patients,detailed history, carful clinical examination, electrocardiography(ECG), chest x ray(CXR), and routine blood tests were done. All patients evaluated by echocardiography.Results : On echocardiographic evaluation of COPD,40% of cases had normal echocardiographic parameters. Measurable tricuspid regurgitation (TR) was observed in 25/50 (50.0%) of cases . Pulmonary hypertension (PHT), which is defined as systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP)> 30 mmHg was observed in 14/25 (56.0%) of patients with TR (28.0% of total patients) , in which prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe PHT were 7/14 (50.0%), 4/14 (28.6%), and 3/14 (21.4%), respectively. The frequencies of PHT in mild, moderate, severe, and very severe COPD were 7.1%, 14.3 %, 35.7%, and 42.9%, respectively. Cor pulmonale was observed in 6/14 (42.9%) of cases (12.0% of total patients) ; The frequencies of cor pulmonale in patients with mild, moderate, and sever PHT were 0 , 75.0% ,100.0 % ,respectively ; 2.0% cases had left ventricle systolic dysfunction(LVSD) and 10.0% cases had evidence of left ventricle diastolic dysfunction(LVDD). Left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH) was found in 4.0% of cases. There was a significant decrease in forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1) means associated with Echo findings especially with PHT and cor pulmonale.Conclusion : Prevalence of cardiovascular complications (especially PHT and cor pulmonale) is high among COPD patients and has a linear relationship with increasing severity of COPD. Echocardiography helps in early detection of cardiac complications in COPD cases giving time for early interventions.

Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) : is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world.C - Reactive Protein (CRP) : a biomarker of systemic inflammation and as an indicator of malnutrition or severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). An assessment the relationship between serum C - reactive protein (CRP) levels and well - known clinical parameters in severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) considering the impact of smoking behavior.Aim of study : To evaluate the interrelationship between C - reactive protein and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseMethodsWe studied (69) diagnosed COPD patients according to GOLDstages all patients didspirometry, body mass index andserum CRP titer levels were investigated in diseased COPD patients.Results : Patients sample, 72.5% male and 27.5% female, the ratio (3 to 1) of COPD included (75.4%) had positive CRP and (24.6%) had negative CRP. CRP titer levels were higher in severe COPD patients and there’s inversely relationship between Body Mass and the incidence of the C - Reactive Protein. There’s close relationship between cigarette smoking, body mass and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Conclusion : The circulating levels of the inflammatory marker CRP are significantly elevated in patients with COPD, supporting the view that COPD is in part an inflammatory disorder. This risk increase with increased severity of disease and cigarette smoking and this level elevated with decreasing body mass index.

Abstract: Latent TB is state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active TB. The WHO reports that 10% of TB cases around the world are linked to diabetes. The course of the infections is also more complicated in this patient group. One of the possible causes of this increased prevalence of infections is defects in immunity.Aim of the study : This study tested for relationship between LTBI and DM and attempted to determine if DM status influenced the result of LTBI. Materials and Methods : - The study was comparative case control with analytical elements.The data collection was carried out in medical clinic in Baghdad teaching hospital at Baghdad city, Iraq. The data collection was done between the 1stOctobar 2017 to 1st March 2018, two days weekly, four hours per day. Total sample was 102 participants, 51 diabetic patients and 51 non diabetic patients. Results : - Total of 102 patients were involved in the study. The age and body mass index (BMI) of patients of both groups was matched and there was a significant difference of the mean years of age of the patients with positive TST and those with negative TST, while no such significant difference was found between the BMI of the patients with positive TST and those with negative TST significant association was found between diabetic history and latent tuberculosis which identify by positive result of TST, while no association found between smoking history and educational level with latent tuberculosis.Conclusion : - This study show significant relation between DM and development of latent TB.

Abstract: ان مرض السل يعد من اخطر العوامل التي تسبب الوفاة خاصة في البلدان النامية وفقا لاحصائيات منظمة الصحة العالمية ومركز السيطرة على الامراض الانتقالية وتبين ان نسبة الاصابة تتناسب طرديا مع نقص مناعة المريض.وحسب النظرية التي تنص على ان المناعة ممكن ان تضعف بتناول جرعة لا تقل عن 15 غم يوميا ولمدة تزيد على اربعة اسابيع نجد ان مرضى الربو ممكن ان تزداد احتمالية اصابتهم بمرض السل بحوالي 8 اضعاف .الهدف من الدراسة معرفة مدى الاصابة بمرض االسل بين الاشخاص المصابين بالربو مستخدمي الستيرويدات كدواء اساسي ضمن علاجهم .طريقة اعداد البحثدراسة انية مصممة لاستيعاب مرضى الربو ممن يراجعون مستشفى مدينة بغداد الطبية التعليمي للفترة من نيسان 2017 الى نيسان 2018 بمركز التدرن الرئوي ووحدة المرضى الراقدين ومرضى العيادة الخارجية.تم اعداد استمارة الاستبيان الخاصة بالبحث لتسجيل اهم المعلومات المتوافقة مع الموضوع من قبل الباحث .النتائجتم اختيار 60 مريضا من مرضى الربو للدراسة خلال مدة سنة واحدة وكان عدد الاناث 41 مريضة واما عدد الذكور 19 مريضا ونسبة الذكور الى الاناث هو 7 : 3 على التوالي , 95 % منهم من سكنة المدن و5% منهم يسكنون في المناطق النائية , وكانت الاعمار بين سن 18 الى سن 60 سنة اي معدل العمر 31.4 .51.6% منهم كانوا يستخدمون الستيرويد بجهاز البخاخ وبالشكل الصحيح 40% من المرضى كانوا يستخدمون جهاز البخاخ بطريقة خاطئة بحيث يبتلعون المادة الستيرويدية دون استنشاقها و8.4 % منهم كان يستخدم جهاز البخاخ كعلاج مع الحبوب ولمدة لا تقل عن ستة اشهر . كانت نتائج فحص السلين بالجلد موجبة ل 7 ( 11.7 % )مرضى وكالتالي : شخص واحد فقط من مستخدمي جهاز البخاخ بطريقة خاطئة اي بلعا لمدة لا تقل عن 3 سنوات (1.7 %) ومريض واحد من مستخدمي البخاخ بطريقة صحيحة لمدة تزيد على 20 سنة (1.7 % ) و5 اشخاص ممن كانوا يستخدمون الستيرويد على شكل حبوب مضاف له البخاخ لمدة تزيد على 4 اشهر ( 8.3 % ) واما نتائج بقية ال 53 مريض كانت سالبة , على ان هنالك علاقة واضحة بين عمر المريض وزيادة نسبة الاصابة طرديا ( p=0.01)وايضا تزداد النسبة مع ازدياد الجرعة ومدة استخدام الستيرويد( p=0.001) الاستنتاجبعد تحليل النتائج المنتقاة من هذه الدراسة تبين لنا ما يلي : 1. تزداد خطورة الاصابة بداء السل مع ازدياد العمر 2. طريقة تناول الستيرويد له علاقة قوية مع معدل الاصابة بالسل 3. زيادة جرعة الستيرويد ووزيادة مدة تناوله يزيد من فرص الاصابة بالسل 4. ظهرت علاقة جديدة واضحة بين استخدام جهاز البخاخ بطريقة خاطئة من خلال بلع المادة الواجب استنشاقها وبين فحص السلين للجلد.5. تبين انه لا توجد علاقة واضحة بين فحص السلين وجنس المريض واما الزيادة في النتائج الموجبة بين الاناث فسببه هو ان عدد الاناث المصابات بالربو هو اصلا اعلى من الرجال . | Back ground Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory airways disease which need steroid as essential drug of its management. Latent TB is when person is infected with Mycobacterium.TB with no symptoms and it's not contagious as active TB. The risk of developing TB increases with the drop of immunity. Using of steroid >15 mg/day > 4 weeks is associated with drop in immunity, so asthmatic patient might be infect with TB.Aim of the study : To assess the impact of steroid treatment on the risk of developing latent TB in asthmatic patientsPatients and Methods : a cross - sectional study conducted between April 2017 to April 2018 at respiratory clinic and TB center of Baghdad Teaching Hospital. Convenient sample of 60 asthmatic patients on steroid include 19 males and 41 females. Results : the mean age of patients is 31±2, 41 females and 19 males, f / m ratio was 7 : 3. 31 used ICS correctly, 24 take ICS materials as wrong technique by swallowing it, and 5 are using oral and ICS as combined treatment modality. Regarding TST results, 6 persons were tested positive, 4 are from those who are using combined modality for more than 4 months, 1 from those who swallow the materials for more than 3 years, and 1 from those who using inhaler device correctly for more than 20 years. A significant correlations were found between TST and increasing age of the patient p=0.001, and the TST and the duration of use of steroids p=0.01.Conclusion : the prevalence of positive TST among asthmatic patients obviously related to type of steroid administration (orally is higher risk), aging and duration of steroid use

Abstract: الخلفية : الربو هو مشكلة صحية عالمية تصيب 300 مليون من الافراد من جميع الاعمار حول العالم. على الرغم من المبادئ التوجيهية الدولية،مزاالت السيطرة على الربو بعيدة عن الاهداف في مختلف انحاء العالم.اهداف الدراسة : لتحديد ما اذا كان اختبار السيطرة على الربو (ACT) يمكن ان تكون مفيدة مثل معايير المبادرة الدولية للربو (GINA)في تقييم السيطرة على الربو. طرائق البحث : دراسة مستعرضة تضمنت 64 مريضا اعمارهم> 18 سنة يعانون من الربو في عيادة الامراض الصدرية في مستشفى بغداد التعليمي بين شباط 2015 وايار 2015. وجرى تقييم السيطرة على الربو باستخدام المبادرة الدولية للربو ( (GINAواختبار السيطرة على الربو ACT)).النتائج : كان هناك 64 من المرضى المسجلين في هذه الدراسة، كان 44 مريضا(68.8٪) من الاناث وكان 20 مريضا (31.2٪) من الذكور. وفقا لاختبار السيطرة على الربو (ACT) 43 مريض (67.2٪) حصلوا على درجة (<15) و21 مريضا (32.8٪) حصلوا على درجة (15 - 19) . وفقا لتصنيف (GINA) 49 مريض (76.56٪) صنفوا كمرضى غير مسيطرين على الربو 15 مريض (23.44) صنفوا على انهم مسيطرين جزئيا على الربو . الاستنتاج : في دراستنا وجدنا اتفاق كبير بين اختبار السيطرة على الربو (ACT) وتصنيف (GINA) وبذلك ACT يمكن ان تكون بديلا لتصنيف (GINA)في تقييم السيطرة على الربو. | Background : Asthma is a global health problem that affects 300 million individuals of all ages around a world. Despite international guidelines, asthma control is short of the goal in different parts of the world. Aims of study : To determine if the ACT can be as useful as the GINA - guidelines criteria in assessing asthma control . Methods : A cross - sectional study recruiting 64 patients aged >18 years with asthma were seen at chest clinic of Baghdad Teaching Hospital between February 2015 and May 2015. Asthma control was assessed using the GINA algorithm and the ACT score . Results : There were 64 patients enrolled in this study, 44 patients (68.8%) were female and 20 patients (31.2%) were male . According to ACT score 43 patient (67.2%) had an ACT score of (<15) and 21 patients (32.8%) had an ACT score of (15 - 19) and none patients had ACT (20 - 25) . According to GINA classification , 49 patient (76.56%) classified as uncontrolled and 15 patients (23.44) classified as partly controlled and none patients classified as controlled .Conclusion : In our study we found high agreement between ACT score and GINA classification thus ACT score can substitute GINA in assessment of asthma control . Asthma control was also dependently associated with the individual patient's age group.
