Intensive ongoing research has shed light on the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and the extent of damages caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) but the intermediate and long-term complications remain unclear. The objective of this study is to evaluate the glycemic and atherogenic status in non-hospitalized and recovered covid-19 individuals without underlying diseases prior to the infection. Methods: A total of 200 apparently healthy subjects from all the staff of Duhok University were enrolled in this case-control study. The subjects were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 107 subjects non-hospitalized recovered from covid-19 at more than 3 months after infection which was proved by RT-PCR and Group 2 included 93 healthy subjects who have not been infected with covid-19 as control group. Venous blood samples were collected and analyzed for glycemic and atherogenic related parameters. Results: There was no significant differences in blood pressure, glycemic and atherogenic status between previously infected and not infected subjects. However triglycerides (TG) and cardio-protective index (CPI) were slightly and non-significantly higher and low density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) lower in previously infected subjects. Also, fasting plasma insulin (FPI), Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and risk of atherogenicity were slightly higher in the infected males, younger ages, older ages and obese subjects. Conclusions: There are no long-term effects of COVID-19 on the glycemic and atherogenic status of the recovered not hospitalized patients.","PeriodicalId":432925,"journal":{"name":"Duhok Medical Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128645924","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}

Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) can prevent this transmission. The aim of this study is to find out the carriage rate of group B streptococci isolated from pregnant women in Duhok city, Iraq. Other aim is to study the Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the isolates and to detect the risk factors associated with the growth of these bacteria. Methods: Exactly 821 pregnant women living in Duhok city were randomly screened for GBS colonization, over a period of 7 months from 1st of January, 2022 till 1st of August, 2022. High vaginal swabs (HVS) sample were collected, processed and identification was performed by Vitek system 2. The isolated strains of GBS were selected for in vitro susceptibility testing. As well as also risk factors associated with infection were assessed. Results: GBS was detected in 37/821 accounted (4.51%) pregnant women. Risk factors such as vaginal discharge, UTI, Diabetes, abortions and still birth did not show major differences between positive and negative cases of GBS. Pencillin G, Co-Amoxiclav, Nitrofurantoin, Vancomycin and Ampiciilin have shown the highest sensitivity percentages (93.9%, 93.8%, 88.9%, 87.5% and 84% respectively). The sensitivity rate for other B-Lactams: Cepholothin, Ceftriaxone and Cefixim were: 70.6%, 63% and 78% respectively. The sensitivity for Gentamicin was 38.9% and 48.4% for Ciprofloxacin. However, the lowest sensitivity rates were detected for Clindamycin, Amikacin and Erythromycin: 26.1%, 30% and 30.5% respectively. Conclusions: Carriage rates of GBS among pregnant women in this setting are still low-grade. Penicillin and Ampicillin are the drugs of choice (intra-partum prophylaxis) against GBS in pregnancy. Co-amoxiclave and Vancomycin also had a high level of sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":432925,"journal":{"name":"Duhok Medical Journal","volume":"2 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120811946","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}

It is essential to look at the entire health system before implementing any intervention to modernize the whole health system or a component of it. This study analyzed the performance of the health system in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and investigated potential reform steps to mitigate the identified challenges. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in 2021 to recruit 37 key informants and decision-makers, advisors, and experts from the Kurdistan Parliament, Ministry of Health, Ministerial Council, Ministry of Finance, and external experts in the field of health. Thirty-one responded to a self-administered questionnaire of open-ended questions. Results: While the health system in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq had its own strengths and opportunities to modernize it further, there were much more weaknesses and threats to it. The areas that received much attention were the lack of vital laws such as the medical council, health insurance, public-private sector regulation, accreditation, food and drug administration, and the absence of a regional health policy and strategic plan. The parliament and executive authorities, represented by the different government agencies in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, have a role in mitigating all the weaknesses and threats in the health system. Conclusions: The study provides policy evidence and a framework of the potential health strategies for the current and the coming government cabinets and parliament rounds in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to improve the health sector and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals by 2030. It provides a road map for researchers to explore the current health system problems further and find suitable solutions.","PeriodicalId":432925,"journal":{"name":"Duhok Medical Journal","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125102138","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 aim of this study was to determine the vaccination acceptance and refusal among healthcare workers and the possible causes, also to investigate the socio-economic-demographic factors affecting their attitude. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Duhok governorate to assess the attitude of healthcare workers toward covid-19 vaccine, and this was held by direct interview with the participants. The questionnaire was of 2 parts, the socio-demographics and the attitude of healthcare workers toward the vaccine. Results: A total of 562 healthcare workers participated in this survey; 94.1% of them displayed a positive attitude toward the vaccine while 5.9% revealed a negative attitude. 67.3% of the participants had received the vaccine, and 72.7% of the unvaccinated participants claimed their main cause of refusal was their concern about the safety of the vaccine. There was a statistically significant relation between healthcare workers’ occupation and vaccine acceptance (p = 0.048), where pharmacists had the highest rate of vaccination (100%) compared to the cleaning staff (77.3%). Also participants’ age group (45-60) years showed higher acceptance rate than other age groups. Conclusions: Covid-19 vaccine acceptance among healthcare workers in the Duhok governorate was high. The findings may help the management authorities to give more information about the vaccine and contribute to improving healthcare workers’ attitudes to reach the goal of 100% vaccination.","PeriodicalId":432925,"journal":{"name":"Duhok Medical Journal","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124707581","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}
