A cross-sectional study was performed in Al-Azizyia general hospital in Wasit province for a sample of one hundred ten cases which was conveniently collected from the words and the outpatient clinic throughout July, August, and September 2020. All mothers were chosen and aged from 18 to 41 years old. 110 cases of infants of both sexes were included, their ages range from 1 to 12 months. By using the questionnaire data concerning, acute gastroenteritis, age of the infants, the sex of the infant, residency, type of feeding, level of education of mother, mother age, the job of father, and the job of mother. We found that 85 (77.2 %) of the collected sample were found to be non-beast-fed infants, while the rest of the sample 25 (22.7 %), breast-fed infants. Most of our patients were from rural areas 60(54.5 %) and the rest from urban areas 50 (45.4 %). Most of our patients were male 71 (64.5 %) and the rest were females (35.5 %). The infants below six months of age 61 (55.4 %) are more than those above six months 49 (44.5 %). The age of mothers between 20, and 30 years old 73 (66.36 %) is more than that of mothers aged above 30 to 37 years (25.45 %) which is more than that of mothers aged below 20 to 9 (8.18 %). Most of the mothers were housewives 105 (95.4 %) and the rest were workers 5 (4.6 %). Most of the fathers were unemployed 87 (79.1 %) and the rest were employed 23 (20.9 %). Mothers with a primary level of education are 80 (72.7 % are more than the mothers with a secondary level 24 (21.8 %) which is more than those with a higher level 6 (5.4 %).

The effect of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles on the dielectric constant was studied. Different weight percentages of silica (3, 5, and 7 %) were added to BaTiO3 nanoparticles. The structure, morphology, and dielectric properties were obtained using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and an LCR meter. The diffraction patterns were shown that the crystallite size of BaTiO3 increased with the addition of SiO2. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss were measured with various temperatures ranging from 27 to 180 °C at a constant frequency of 10 kHz. It was found that the value of the dielectric constant for the pure BaTiO3 is the highest at the Curie temperature (128 °C). The Curie temperature shifted to a higher value and the dielectric constant was decreased when the silica was added to BaTiO3. Moreover, with increasing the silica percentage, the variation in the dielectric loss values with the temperature was observed.

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the obligatory intracellular protozoan parasites that are important and widespread in all developing or developed countries. It infects all nucleated cells of warm-blooded animals. This study used the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), real-time quantitative polymerases chain reactions (RT-qPCR) for detecting the T. gondii in blood and placental tissues, in addition to the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) technique to determine the genotypes/strains of T. gondii in Maysan province. The study included 40 participating women, distributed as 22 aborted women and 18 without abortion. The LFIA detected that the seropositive rate of anti-T. gondii IgG is 38.9 % and with the using RT-qPCR technique, the infection rate is 10 % and 0.0 % among placenta and sera. it also, showed that 85.7 % of all T. gondii infections are found in aborted women, compared with 14.3 % without abortion. In contrast, it showed that 63.6 % of T. gondii seronegative are women without abortion, compared to 36.4 % among aborted women. The PCR-RFLP technique has identified the main three genotypes “I, II, and III” of T. gondii in Ammara city, and showed that genotype "I" is the most frequent at 50% (6/12) than genotypes II, 4/12 (33.33 %), and III, 2/12 (16.67 %).

Polycyclicacetal was prepared by the reaction of PEG with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. Cobalt was used for producing a polymer metal complex and solution casting was used to produce a polymer blend including nano chitosan. All produced compounds have been characterized by FT-IR, DSC/ TGA, and SEM techniques as well as biological activity. The production of polyacetal is illustrated by the FT-IR analysis. The DSC/TGA results indicate the prepared polymer blends' thermal stability. Staphylococcus aureas, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli were the four types of bacteria selected to study and evaluate the antibacterial activity of produced polyacetal, its metal complex, and polymer blend. Results indicates that there is a greater potential to kill bacteria by increasing the amount of polyacetal-Co complex.

Tooth extraction is one of the most frequently performed surgeries, and several instruments were invented throughout history. This study's purpose is to assess the efficacy of physics forceps in comparison to conventional tooth extraction forceps in bilateral dental extraction and their associated intraoperative complications, including crown fracture, root fracture, buccal cortical plate fracture (BCPF), gingival lacerations, and bleeding time. All participants (n = 20) and total extractions (n = 40) were randomly assigned within two groups. Teeth were extracted utilizing physics forceps on one side of the maxillary or mandibular quadrants (n = 20) and conventional forceps on the other side (n = 20). Clinical data were gathered and analyzed. The findings show none of the patients in any of the groups had a crown fracture, however, the occurrence of roots and buccal cortical plate fractures were higher within control group. The incidence of gingival lacerations was seven times (35 %) in the study group and eight times (40 %) in the control group. Bleeding time in control group was longer than that in the study group (P value = 0.022) with a moderate effect size (ES = 0.676). In this study, buccal traumatic ulcer formation was observed in 5 cases (25 %) in study group due to excessive pressure application on the buccal soft tissue. In conclusion, physics forceps provide clinical outcomes comparable to conventional forceps and could be used for routine exodontia.

In this paper, the Bou-baker polynomial method is used to evaluate an approximate so1ution initia1 value problem of high-order of non1inear Vo1terra-Fredholm Integro-Differential equation of the second kind. Three different examp1es and their graphics are displayed.

Eleven soil samples were collected from one of the oil sites in Wasit Governorate.65 bacterial isolates were isolated from soil samples by using BHM with 1% crude oil as carbon source. In primary and secondary screening (10) isolates of bacteria can remediate crude oil. Among the ten isolates, bacterial isolate named HD2 was most effective in bioremediation process. The results of biomass, optical density, and percentage of hydrocarbon remediation of HD2 were (0.63, 1.080 and 67 %) respectively. The results of morphological and biochemical tests showed that the bacterial isolate named HD2 belongs to the species Pseudomonas putida.

An electrochemical process was used to deposit zinc sulfide thin films on glass substrates. The study aims to determine whether the annealing of zinc sulfide thin films changes their properties. An analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) determined that annealing controls zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin-film crystallinity and influences the structure of zinc sulfide crystallites, which range from cubic to hexagonal. A Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope was used (FESEM) to obtain images of thin films. None of thin films that not paneled or annealed displayed grain-like morphologies. while grain growth was an appropriate response to annealing at 150, 250 or 350 °C. Distributed crystalline quality, the EDX analysis confirms the presence of zinc and sulfur in the obtained films, distributed crystalline quality.
