It affects more than 5% of pregnant women and is characterized by edemas, high blood pressure and proteinuria, it considered as one of the most serious pregnancy specific medical conditions of increasing incidence. its complications are one of the top four causes of maternal deaths even in developed societies. Objective: To assess the Maternity Nurses Knowledge and educational program Regarding Eclampsia Care at Mosul Teaching Hospitals. Method and Material: A Pre-experimental study design (one group pretest-posttest) was used for period extended from 15th of November 2020 to 10th of March 2021. 30 nurses were selected by purposive sampling technique from obstetrics and gynecological departments at teaching hospitals of Mosul city. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Results: The results of the study showed the educational program on nurses' knowledge regarding eclampsia is effective, highly significant differences in the knowledge of nurses after implementation of the educational program compared to their knowledge before the educational program in study group. According to the findings, 53.3 % of nurses had poor knowledge of prior implementation of the educational program. However, after implementation, 70.0 % of them had excellent knowledge. Conclusions: The educational program has a positive effect on nurse's knowledge of eclampsia treatment, according to the study's conclusion. Recommendation: Recommendation, Continuous educational program to improve nurses’ knowledge regarding care of preeclampsia and eclampsia.","PeriodicalId":20538,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st International Ninevah Conference on Medical Sciences (INCMS 2021)","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85260741","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}

Early identification of suspected cases allows sufficient time for medical and local authorities to initiate an appropriate international and national infection transmission control protocols. Assess the effectiveness of the two-way strategy for distancing social intervention that has been implemented to control COVID 19 in the city of Salaheddin as compared to Santa Clara in the U.S. The COVID-19 mathematical model is used to estimate the expected burden of pandemic in Salaheddin City as well as in in Santa Clara, US. This model provides numerical data on the number and time interval of the application of appropriate intervention control strategies by comparing one-strategy (social distancing) with a two-stage strategy (social distancing & light switch approach). The two strategies show that, on average, in 12.3% of the population the baseline epidemic scenario affected 11.6%, with a 1-strategy contact rate of 70%. While only 0.11% of the population will have been infected by the two-intervention strategy at a rate of 20% of social contact, compared to 0.165% with the application of the one strategy. This will significantly reduce the spread of the infection and significantly delay the peak incidence of all hypotheses. The two-way social distancing strategy is an efficient tool in Salaheddin to control COVID-19 and represents a major success for the Crisis Cell pandemic in the city of Salaheddin until the end of the study period .","PeriodicalId":20538,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st International Ninevah Conference on Medical Sciences (INCMS 2021)","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85360324","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 majority of the higher-level number for serotypes has been insulated from immunocompromised persons. While the majority of infections linked to adenovirus are self-limiting, those who occur in immunocompromised individual can be far more serious, even deadly. Patients who have reached the end of their kidney function have weakened immune response, due to high rates of infection by virus. The goal of this research was to find out the infection with adenovirus in terminal stage of kidney disease patients who undergoing hemodialysis. This study was done in Kirkuk General Hospital/Dialysis Unit in Kirkuk city from the period 12/11/2019 to 5/5/2020. Serum of 200 hemodialysis patients were investigated for both adenovirus-specific immunoglobulin G and M by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),108 (54%) patients were males and 92 (46%) were females. The results showed that 142 patients (71%) had anti-adenovirus IgG, 10 patients (5%) had anti-adenovirus IgM and 6 patients (3%) had both anti-IgM and anti-IgG. There was no significant variance in adenovirus seropositivity (p>0.05) between males and females (51.26% and 48.74% respectively). The study showed that non-significant relation between the seropositivity and sex, age and residency.

The rationale for prophylactic cranial irradiation is to regulate or eliminate unnoticeable micro-metastases without making unwanted harm. Methods: This prospective study investigated the role of prophylactic cranial irradiation for lowering the frequency of brain metastases for patients who had triple-negative and her2-positive advanced extra-cranial metastatic breast cancer including 48 succeeding patients, with this disease scenario were collected in this study & were categorized into 2 arms over 3 years period: The first arm consisted of 24 patients who did not receive PCI. The second group included 24 patients who received PCI 25 Gray/10 fractions over 2 weeks carried 4 weeks after completion of chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab while hormone therapy is continuous for hormone-positive patients. All patients were primarily evaluated by brain CT scan with contrast or MRI which was part of the neurological assessment included before PCI then every 3 months in the first year, then every 6 months thereafter. Neuro-cognitive Functions (NCF) were estimated in both arms before and then 6 months and 1 year after PCI using Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE). Health-related quality of life was assessed before and then 1 month and 3 months after PCI using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br). Results , only four (16.6%) patients developed symptomatic brain metastases in the treatment arm compared to nine (37.5%) patients in the control arm, the median brain metastasis-free survival duration in the PCI arm was 22 months with a 95% CI (18.37-25.62) compared with 16 months with a 95% CI (13.78-18.21) with p = 0.011, figure (1).
