As a result, this study was carried out to discover anti-HCV in thalassemia patients in our location.\u0000Objectives: to find factors that increase the chance of getting infection with HCV in thalassemia patients.\u0000Materials and methods: A total of 550 patients whose registered in thalassemic center were surveyed, 48 of them had HCV infection. Name, age, sex, residency, age at starting blood transfusion, Frequency of blood transfusion per month, Splenectomized or not, blood group for patients, test for HCV antibodies and liver function test.\u0000Results: The total number surveyed was 550, where the number of males was 330, while the number of females was 220. The study group comprised 48 thalassemic patients (33 [68.75%] males and 15 [31.25%] females). The mean ± SD age was 18.4 ± 7.57months (range: 2 – 35).  There is direct association between the age and the seropositivity to anti –HCV where HCV seropositivity was significantly associated with an older age (P ≤ 0.01). There is no association between gender and seropositivity to anti –HCV where there are no significant differences (P= 0.653) Out of 48 patients 26(54.14%) were live in urban, 22(45.17%) in rural. In regard to residency there is no direct relationship (P ≤ 0.01) between the residency and the seropositivity to anti –HCV. There is high significant (P ≤ 0.01) between frequency of blood transfusion per month and seropositivity to anti –HCV. HCV seropositivity was significantly associated with the longer duration of the disease (P ≤ 0.01). Patients of O+ blood group represented the higher (P ≤ 0.01) seropositivity to anti -HCV than patients with other blood groups, however patients with Rh- shows lower seropositivity to anti -HCV. Our study shows that there is highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) relation between splenectomy and the seropositivity to anti –HCV.","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80548801","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 aimed to demonstrate the ovarian activity in postpartum buffaloes two months after calving.

All the buffaloes were examined weekly from week 3 after birth by routine rectal palpation, ultrasound scanning, and vaginal discharge checking. A 4-value point (0 = bright mucus, 1 = discharge with little pus, 2 = discharge with less than 50% pus discharges, and 3 = with > 50% pus discharges) was depended to classify vaginal discharges of these buffaloes. Cytobrush specimens were dependent to get endometrial samples from these animals. Ten from seventy-two buffaloes (13.8%) suffered from abnormal vaginal discharges grade (1-3) and pointed to acute clinical endometritis (CE), and about (16.6%) 12 of 72 clinically healthy buffaloes had subclinical endometritis (SCE) (≥ 8 % neutrophils). The diameter of the large follicle was significantly (p < 0.05) greater in healthy buffaloes compared with the animals that suffered from clinical and subclinical endometritis in the postpartum period. The size of the corpus luteum was significantly (p < 0.05) lower (7 mm) in clinical endometritis postpartum buffaloes than the healthy and subclinical endometritis buffaloes.

A migraine is a relatively common medical condition that can severely affect the quality of life of the sufferer and his or her family. Migraine is ranked by the World Health Organization as the 19th disease world-wide to cause disability; epidemiological studies of headache in Asia reported consistent findings that the prevalence ranged from 8.4% to 12.7%. Objective: To assess the efficacy of acupuncture in migraine prophylaxis. Patients and method: This study was carried out on 40 known case of migraineurs from both genders, aged 20-50 years. Migraineurs were randomly divided into 2 groups, 20 cases in each group, first group (control group) received medical treatment i.e. propranolol 40mg tid while 2nd group (acupuncture group) received 15 sessions of real acupuncture for 12 weeks, These forty migraineurs were treated in Emam Reza Hospital in Mashhad city in Iran and in private clinic of Dr. Mojtabavi over a period from December 2011 till March 2012. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS in which independent t-test was used to compute significance. Result: There were significant differences between the acupuncture and control groups throughout the treatment periods on numbers of attacks and intensity of pain i.e. there is significant decrease, in numbers of migraine attacks and intensity of pain, more in patients treated with acupuncture than those treated with the medical therapy (propranolol). Conclusion: acupuncture is more effective, in reducing the frequency of attacks and intensity of the pain, than medical treatment for migraine prophylaxis.","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91277204","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}

Methods: Sixty eyes of 40 patients underwent implantation of a toric implantable collamer lens (V4c design) in the Eye Specialty Private Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq were studied. The mean spherical refraction was -11.32±3.17 diopter (D) with a range of -6.00 to -18.00 D and a mean cylinder of -2.61±1.16 with range of -1.00 to -5.50 D.

Results: At 12 months postoperatively, the mean Snellen decimal UDVA was 0.77±0.23 and the mean CDVA was 0.80±0.21, with an efficacy index of 1.16. Twenty nine eyes (48.33%) showed gain in CDVA with a safety index of 1.21. The treatment was highly predictable for spherical equivalent and astigmatic component.
