The research problem is the need for users of small or limited interior spaces to have special spaces that meet their functional and aesthetic desires. This can be achieved through functional design treatments that do not waste available space or obstruct the use of internal space. The approach taken in this study was inductive, which involved reviewing previous studies on design solutions and treatments. The research also used the descriptive analytical method to analyze the phenomenon through private data. The results of the study showed that studying all human and changing needs related to housing can lead to realistic and applicable design solutions, allowing access to the most suitable housing for its occupants. Additionally, the use of simple design treatments can solve complex housing design problems, although it may require reconsidering budgetary issues. Finally, flexible thinking about reusing available spaces in the interior space in different ways contributes to solving design problems in an innovative way that meets changing human needs.","PeriodicalId":33125,"journal":{"name":"mjl@ kly@ lTb","volume":"1 1","pages":"40-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://journals.misuratau.edu.ly/media/ojs/index.php/media/article/download/194/159","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147919531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is used topically as an ophthalmic suspension to treat many inflammatory ocular conditions, where its absorption from suspension is highly variable and has poor dose accuracy. Objectives: The main objective of this research is to formulate and evaluate prednisolone acetate microemulsion for ophthalmic use to increase solubility, residence time, and corneal permeability of the drug to enhance patient compliance and treatment efficacy. Methods: Twenty-four prednisolone acetate-loaded microemulsion (0.5%w/w) formulas were prepared using oleic acid, isopropyl myristate as (oil phase) (1:1), tween 80, labrasol, and cremophor EL as (surfactant), ethanol, polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol, transcutol P as co-surfactant and Sörensen isotonic phosphate buffer saline pH 7.4 as the aqueous phase at different Smix ratios (1:1), (1:2) and (2:1) by aqueous titration method to construct pseudoternary phase diagram to determine the existence of microemulsion region. All the prepared formulas were subjected to different evaluation tests to determine the optimum formula. Results: observations of the microemulsion showed that it had a clear and transparent yellowish color, formulation F9 composed of oleic acid and isopropyl myristate in a ratio (1:1) as oil, twee80 as a surfactant, and propylene glycol: ethanol (1:1) in a ratio (2:1) as cosurfactant gave the best particle size (10.18nm), polydispersity index (0.2216), zeta potential (-25,91), % of transmittance (99.382%±0. 09), and drug content (100±0.16). Microemulsion formulation provided considerably higher permeability than the marketed eye drop suspension (Optipred®) and improved bioavailability. Conclusions: The microemulsion-containing prednisolone acetate is a promising ocular carrier for the controlled release of prednisolone acetate in treating anterior segment inflammation.

Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the contamination of Iraqi agricultural soils with pathogenic fecal bacteria (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) and study the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of soil-isolated bacteria because it is a dangerous indicator when transmitted to humans. Methods: Soil samples were collected from six locations (farms) in the capital, Baghdad, which were AL-Jadria, AL-Latifia, Diyala River, AL-Jazera, and AL-Zafraniya (block 1 and block 2) during the study period from the end of November 2021 to August 2022; then were compared with the control samples (house garden). These bacteria were isolated by selective culture media and identified using the VITEK® 2 Compact system, and antibiotic sensitivity tests were carried out against 18 different antibiotics by the Kirby Power method. The t-test was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The bacteriological study of agricultural soil showed the presence of fecal bacteria, and this is evidence of contamination of agricultural soil samples with these bacteria. The highest E. coli count was in the AL-Latifia farm (1. 48× 103), while the highest E. faecalis count was in the Diyala River farm (2.63 × 103). The antibiotic sensitivity profile illustrated that E. coli was resistant to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, cefoxitin, piperacillin, ceftazidime, and Teicoplanin but was sensitive to the rest of the antibiotics used, while E. faecalis was only resistant to levofloxacin and linezolid and highly sensitive to the other tested antibiotics. Conclusion: The current study documented the presence of fecal coliform bacteria in studied soil samples, with markedly high resistance rates toward used antibiotics.

A Comparative Study","authors":"Ahmed Muhei Rasheed","doi":"10.32007/jfacmedbagdad.2153","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32007/jfacmedbagdad.2153","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical operations in otolaryngology, post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage is a dangerous complication. Several methods have been used to decrease the rate of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage, one of these methods, a relatively recent method, is local application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the tonsillar beds. Objectives: To evaluate the role of local application of autologous PRP to the tonsillar beds, at the time of tonsillectomy, in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage. Patients and methods: A prospective comparative study enrolled 64 patients with ages ranging from 6 to 10 years who underwent tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. In each patient, PRP was applied at the time of tonsillectomy to one tonsillar bed (PRP side), while the other side was used as a control side. So, the total sides were 128 (64 PRP and 64 control sides). The patients were followed-up for 10 days and the outcome measure was the occurrence of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage on the PRP side versus the control side. The association between the variables was established using chi-square test (X2-test). Results: Thirty-eight patients (59.4%) were males and twenty-six patients (40.6%) were females. Adenotonsillectomy was performed in 35 patients (54.7%), while 29 patients (45.3%) underwent tonsillectomy alone. There was no post-operative hemorrhage from the adenoid beds. Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient (1.6%) on the PRP side and 3 patients (4.7%) on the control side (P-value=0.31). Conclusions: The local application of autologous PRP to the tonsillar bed only once, at the time of tonsillectomy, is not significantly effective in reducing post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

Studies reported increased urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) levels in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the uNGAL potential to distinguish SRNS from steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) in Iraqi children. Patients and Methods: Children with SRNS (n=31) and SSNS (n=32) were recruited from Babylon Hospital for Maternity and Pediatrics from March to June 2022. Patients' data included demographics, clinical characteristics, and urinary lab tests. The uNGAL concentrations were measured via a commercially available ELISA kit. Results: A significantly higher uNGAL median (p-value<0.001) was noted in the SRNS group (median [IQR] = 131.512 [30.28] ng/mL) than in the SSNS group (88.45 [41.6] ng/mL). The correlation between uNGAL levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was negative (Spearman's rho coefficient = − 0.599, p<0.001). The discriminatory power ofuNGAL to discern SRNS from SSNS was significantly high (AUC=0.899, p<0.0001) with a sensitivity of 87.1% and specificity of 87.5% at an optimal cut-off value of 111.091 ng/mL. Conclusion: uNGAL is associated with a reliable discriminatory strength to distinguish, noninvasively, children with SRNS from those with SSNS.
