Other mice divided into two groups, each one contains six mice burned and infected by nosocomial bacterial burn isolates (0.2 x 10 8 CFU), all groups were followed up for 7 days then killed and histopathological changes of some internal organs were examined, livers and lungs of examined samples showed significant pathological changes in coparision to the negative control, suggesting that these samples suffered from variety degree of hepatitis and pneumonia.

Obesity is a major risk factors for many chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease, so it is considering a major Public health problem. Objectives: to study the prevalence of obesity and it is risk factors among Thi-Qar university students. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study had been extended from 1st of April 2016 to10th of June 2016, a total of 841 students (358 of male and 456 of female) between 18 years and 36 years of age (mean 21.7 ± 2.3years) were selected randomly from 24 colleges of both Thi-Qar university and Mazzia college. Each participants subjected to a questionnaire that include: personal socio-demography, time of sleep per night, types of activity during leisure times, height, weight and waist circumference were measured and body mass index was calculated and used to asses’ weight status. The data was analyzed by using SPSS. p value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: The mean BMI was 24.17 ± 4.0; more than half (59.2%) of students were of normal weight ( 63.8% of male students and 55.2% of female students ) ; whereas the prevalence of overweight and that of obesity among them was 28.3% and 8.1% respectively. The prevalence of obesity was nearly similar between male and female students, while the prevalence of overweight was more common among females students as compared to males (32% of females vs. 23.1% of males).The prevalence of underweight was more common among male than female students (5.1 % of male vs. 3.7 % of female ) . Depending on their waist circumferences 3% of male and 18 % of female students where at a higher risk of developing abdominal obesity co morbidities. There was significant higher prevalence of obesity and mean waist circumference with in students of more than 26 years old age and of less than 6 household family number (p < .05 for both variables). A relatively high proportion (42.7 % for male and 35.8 % for female) spend more than two hours on screen time daily. Females where significantly (p< .05) much less physically active than male. Conclusion: there was high prevalence of obesity among ThiQar university students and the study supports the multi factorial etiology of obesity; it demonstrated that age, parent’s education and household number are risk factors. The study also shows high prevalence of sedentary behaviors, physical inactivity among Thi-Qar university students.

It is a preventable risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, aortic dissection, atrial fibrillation, and end-stage kidney disease. Aim of Study: General Objective: To assess the extent of life style modifications among hypertensive patients. Specific Objectives: 1. To measure the awareness of hypertensive patients about life style modifications. 2. To investigate the status of adherence to life style modifications among hypertensive patients. Methodology: The study was an analytical cross sectional study for 576 hypertensive patients who had intended Al-Hussain teaching hospital in Nasiriya city during the period from the first of January 2016 to the end of September 2016. The study population included all patients aged 25 years and above of both sexes with previous diagnosis of hypertension made by medical staff.

Bile specimens were collected from 62 patients who have suffered from gallstone cultivated on bacteriological media, the diagnosis of isolates and antibiotic susceptibility test for the following antibiotics (CIP,NOR,AK,CN,CTX,CRO,CL,AMC,SXT,AZM and TET) was done by using standard bacteriological techniques. According to results (14.51%) of the examined bile specimens were positive cultures with predominance of E. coli which represent (54.55%) of isolates followed by Enterobacter spp. (18.18%) with high significant differences (P< 0.001), The flouroquinolones (CIP & NOR) were most effective antibiotics followed by aminoglycosides (AK,CN) and CTX under (P< 0.05). Furthermore, the isolates showed high and complete resistance to other antibiotics. In brief, colonization of bacteria may associated with the formation of gallstone where the E. coli is the most frequent bacterial isolates and the flouroquinolones (CIP & NOR) appear to be highly effective against isolated bacteria and may play a role in treatment of infections.
