Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains a significant global health concern, particularly among adolescents. This study investigated the prevalence and contributing factors of IDA among adolescents at Al Hussain Teaching Hospital, addressing a critical knowledge gap in the Iraqi healthcare context. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 77 adolescent patients (ages 12-18 years) from October 01, 2024, to January 30, 2025. Data collection included hemoglobin levels, serum ferritin measurements, dietary iron intake assessment, and socioeconomic status evaluation. Statistical analysis employed descriptive statistics, chi-square tests for categorical variables, and multivariate analysis to identify contributing factors. Results: The …


Eosinophils Count In Prediction Of Steroid Responsiveness In Acute Exacerbation Of Copd, Ali Gzar Kuwait Al-Zalimi, Amar Kasim Mohammed Al-Fahad, Mohammed Waheeb Salman Al-Obaidy Jun 2025

Eosinophils Count In Prediction Of Steroid Responsiveness In Acute Exacerbation Of Copd, Ali Gzar Kuwait Al-Zalimi, Amar Kasim Mohammed Al-Fahad, Mohammed Waheeb Salman Al-Obaidy

Muthanna Medical Journal

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a preventable and treatable disease that is common. It has been shown that in patients undergoing acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD), elevated blood eosinophil counts are predictive of corticosteroid responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between blood eosinophil count and the response to corticosteroid treatment in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD. One hundred male and female patients aged over 40 years with an acute exacerbation of COPD were recruited for the study. All patients underwent thorough medical histories, clinical exams, and laboratory tests, including blood eosinophil counts. Our results …


Mono And Polymicrobial Biofilm Formation By Candida Species And Staphylococcus Aureus, Ghadeer Ali Saad, Mohammad Hashim Al-Yasiri Jun 2025

Mono And Polymicrobial Biofilm Formation By Candida Species And Staphylococcus Aureus, Ghadeer Ali Saad, Mohammad Hashim Al-Yasiri

Muthanna Medical Journal

Polymicrobial biofilms, composed of fungi and bacteria such as Candida and Staphylococcus aureus, exhibit interactions dependent on environmental factors and organism type. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the ability of S. aureus and Candida species to construct mono and polymicrobial biofilms. Candida species and S. aureus were isolated from various clinical sources. The identification of these isolates was based on morphological and biochemical characteristics as well as using Vitek 2 compact. Biofilm formation was evaluated using flat-bottom microtiter plate assay with crystal violet. A total of 41 S. aureus, 15 C. tropicalis, 14 C. …


Therapeutic Potential Of Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells In The Treatment Of Ewing Sarcoma: New Approach, Nasser Ghaly Yousif, Fadhil G. Alamran, Ahmed Altimimi Jun 2025

Therapeutic Potential Of Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells In The Treatment Of Ewing Sarcoma: New Approach, Nasser Ghaly Yousif, Fadhil G. Alamran, Ahmed Altimimi

Muthanna Medical Journal

Background: Ewing Sarcoma is a challenging pediatric bone cancer with limited treatment options, particularly in advanced stages. Recent research has highlighted the potential of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) as a novel therapeutic approach due to their tumor-targeting capabilities and ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment. Objective: This study aims to explore the therapeutic potential of BMSCs in the treatment of Ewing Sarcoma, focusing on innovative strategies that leverage their unique properties to enhance treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. Methods: This study involved a comprehensive review of the literature on BMSCs and their application in cancer therapy, …


Havana To Port-Au-Prince: Cuba’S Medical Internationalism Aid To Haiti, Wilner Saint Cyr Jun 2025

Havana To Port-Au-Prince: Cuba’S Medical Internationalism Aid To Haiti, Wilner Saint Cyr

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Haiti ranks among the lowest in healthcare quality in the Americas, according to the health indicators used by the World Health Organization. Despite national and international efforts to improve health service delivery, access to primary medical care and preventive services is limited, especially in rural areas. In response to a request from the Haitian government following the devastating Hurricane Georges, the arrival of the first Cuban doctors to support ongoing public health needs commenced in December 1998. Recognizing an opportunity for international cooperation, the Haitian president sought assistance from Cuba by signing a bilateral cooperation agreement for initial and ongoing …

Climate-related disasters threaten urban areas worldwide, yet gaps remain in understanding how multiple stressors interact to shape resilience. This study examines exposure, vulnerability, and resilience across three consecutive extreme events in the Portland metro area: the September 2020 wildfire-related air pollution, the February 2021 snowstorm, and the June 2021 heatwave. We used geographically weighted regression and Spearman rank correlation analysis to investigate relationships between hazard impacts, the social vulnerability index (SoVI), Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities (BRIC), and proximity to community-based organizations (CBOs) in 416 census tracts. Our analysis reveals strong spatial correlations between wildfire-related air pollution, winter storm impacts, …


Spatially Resolved Transcriptomic Profiles Of Placental Cell Populations In Placental Malaria, Corina A. Mong Jun 2025

Spatially Resolved Transcriptomic Profiles Of Placental Cell Populations In Placental Malaria, Corina A. Mong

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Malaria remains a prevalent infectious disease that continues to cause disease-related morbidity and mortality. Despite preventative efforts, malarial pregnancies still cause birth complications, therefore emphasizing the necessity to study these adverse outcomes in malarial pregnancy. Malaria in pregnancy can lead to placental malaria (PM), which is the presence and accumulation of Plasmodium-infected red blood cells in the placental intervillous space (IVS). Even after treatment, past PM (presence of hemozoin crystals from the parasite in the placenta) can cause a chronic inflammatory response. We predicted that the activation states of the maternal monocytes and fetal macrophages differ within the placenta and …
