As a result of genetic changes, a percentage of these people show this finding in a benign and uncomplicated way, but some of them are also associated with ovarian problems such as excessive testosterone secretion. this was the main theory of the current study, where women with normal periods and oligomenoric hirsutism were examined in terms of the relationship between hirsutism and total testosterone laboratory parameters and ultrasound findings. Materials and methods: 93 women with hirsutism, their average age was 32.6 years and none of them were more than 45 years old or less than 15 years old, were included in this study. 60% of them had regular menstruation and 40% had irregular menstruation. None of the subjects had received drug therapy and had no reports of conditions of hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, or breastfeeding. Results: The data was analyzed by using SPSS-22 software and the results showed that the average testosterone level difference between both groups was significant. (0.8575 vs. 1.5276) (P=0.000). Ultrasound findings in the group with hirsutism and irregular menstruation were significant in terms of the number of follicles between 2 and 5 mm (P=0.03). Conclusions: According to the results, it can be said that the Freeman-Galloway scoring system can be used as a predictor in some women with hirsutism.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73604109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disinfectants could have an effect on the surface roughness and wettability properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect on the surface roughness and wettability properties of addition silicon impression material after immersion in two disinfectants (5.25% NaOCL for 10 min and 16 mg/ml propolis for 5,10, and 15 min). 50 heavy- and light-body addition impression materials specimens were randomly divided into test groups of five specimens for each test. The impression specimens were immersed into two disinfection solutions: 5.25% NaOCL for 10 min and 16 mg/ml propolis for 5,10,15 min but the control group received no treatment. A digital Profilometer was used to measure surface roughness while a Goniometer was used to measure the contact angle which was used to estimate the specimens' wettability. Accordingly, the study has s found that there was no statistically significant difference between the addition silicon imprint material's wettability and the surface roughness (P>0.05) when compared to the control group. The immersion in 16% propolis for 10 minutes shows no significant effect on the addition's wettability or surface roughness.","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76123919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Majority of patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) present with an acute respiratory illness of varying severity. Chest computerized tomography (CT) is one of the important steps in the diagnostic work-up of pulmonary involvement. Cardiovascular complications including pulmonary arterial (PA) abnormalities have been recently emphasized upon. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between severity of pulmonary infection and pulmonary artery/aorta (PA/AA) ratio on chest CT scan. Material and Methods. This cross section study was conducted on 74 patients with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who underwent chest CT scans.. Radiologists assessed every CT examination and graded the extent of pulmonary involvement and severity score obtained. The diameters of PA and aorta were measured and PA/AA ratio was then calculated. Results. Among 74 patients, 28 patients have abnormal PA/AA ration (>1) . Twenty four patients (32.2%) were classified as mild, 39 (52.7%) as moderate and 11 (14.8%) as severe, with  statistically significant difference regarding presence of abnormal PA/AA ratio (P> 0.05) specially in patients with severe pulmonary involvement. There was no significant difference regarding gender and age groups. There was no statistically significant relationship between PA/AA ratio  and pattern of pulmonary radiological findings.\u0000Conclusion. Covid-19 patients with severe pulmonary involvement (higher severity score) tend to have abnormal PA/AA ratio. PA /A ratio could be used as an additional prognostic radiological marker in  assessment of Covid-19 infection.","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75433185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical spectrum consists of an acute ulcerative variant, pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA), and a chronic, non-ulcerative variant, pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC). A third, much more rare and aggressive form, febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha–Habermann disease (FUMHD), also occurs. Pityriasis Lichenoides is often benign, with a chronic course and with eventual spontaneous resolution over months to years. Objectives: The current study aims to evaluate the pityriasis lichenoides among patients attending Al-Sader medical city, Najaf, in the last five years, clinically and histologically. Patients and method: This is a case series performed retrospectively over the period from January 2017 through November 2021, in Najaf. Sixteen patients with clinical and histological PL were evaluated according to their medical records and online archives. A histopathological revision of their paraffin-embedded sections was also performed and statistically analyzed. Results: Sixteen patients with pityriasis lichenoides were evaluated; PLC was more common than PLEVA (14:2). PL mainly affects people in the second decade of life (37.5%). The age at the time of diagnosis ranged from 5 to 41 years, with a mean ±SD of 20.1± 9.9 years, which was higher for PLC (21.4±9.7) years than for PLEVA (11±7) years. Females outnumber males in PLC (9:5) as the only two reported cases of PLEVA were males. The skin phototype III was double that of type IV (11:5). More urban patients than rural patients were presented. The cases peak was in 2020 (31.25%), followed by 2021 (18.75). However, the clinical and histopathological features were classic and comparable to the published literature. Conclusion:  PL is a disease predominant among young adults; more females were affected by PLC, while males were predominantly affected by PLEVA. More patients, who were more urban than rural, with skin phototype III were affected.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82531752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insufficient weight gain especially associated with prepregnant underweight is associated with increased risk of spontaneous preterm delivery, small for gestational age. Extensive weight gain often results in large for gestational age babies also may increase risk during delivery. Good nutrition and a healthy diet during pregnancy are critical for a mother’s health, as well as that of her child. A healthy diet contains adequate energy, protein, vitamins and mineral obtained from a variety of foods including green and orange vegetables, meat, fish, beans, nuts, whole grains, and fruit. Many studies have suggested that weight gain during pregnancy is affected by prepregnancy BMI. This study is conducted to determine maternal weight gain, pattern and associated of some selected socio-demographic factors.  Method: A cross-sectional analytic study wholly  done from July 4th to December 20th; the sample size was 114 pregnant antenatal care files archived selected from primary health care centers. It searched for the full previous pregnancy files and with frequent visits from the beginning of pregnancy to birth. The data and information were collected from antenatal care files from six primary health care centers of As-Salam, AL-A’dil, AL-Mansour, AL-A’dhamiya 3rd, AL-Baladiyaat, AL-Mustansiriya. The exclusion criteria exclude all incomplete files, pregnant women less than 18 years, and pregnant with chronic disease multiple pregnancy. Frequencies and percentage were calculated; Chi square test were used; and the statistical probability were consider significant if P value < 0.05. Results: The current study was conducted through 114 pregnant care files or antenatal care in 6 primary health care centers.  73%  of them gained excessive weight during pregnancy; 11% of them gained insufficient weight gain during pregnancy; and 17% of pregnant women had adequate weight gain during pregnancy. There was a statistically significant association between weight gain during pregnancy and primary health care centers, as representing social factor, and also significant association between pre pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain.  Conclusion: Gestational weight gain was significantly affected by pre pregnancy body mass index. Prevalence of excessive weight gain increases with the increase of the pre-pregnancy body mass index and with the increase of age in pregnant women. Weight gain during pregnancy should be monitored and intervention should be developed.","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82078641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was designed to assess the role of cervical cytology in detecting the various cervical lesions predisposed to cervical cancer with the special emphasis on squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) and to predict the prevalence of these lesions and their association with Human papilloma virus (HPV). Patients and methods: This study enrolled 3500 women aged 17 years and above, presented with cervical lesions and attended for cytological evaluation of cervical smears. The data was retrieved from the archives of these patients for the period from January 2017 to December 2021.  All results were classified according to Bethesda system (2014) and statistically analyzed. Results:  the cytological examinations revealed that 91.7% of the submitted cases were negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM). Abnormal cellular changes were reported in 8.3% of the cases; Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was the most common abnormality representing 4.7%, while High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion constituted 0.5% of the total cases. A HPV-DNA test was done to 220 cases; 52 cases (23.6%) were positive, most of them (73%) were of low-risk genotypes while high risk genotypes were reported in 27% of the cases.
