The periodontal apparatus requires the body's hyaluronic acid for extracellular matrices to function
properly. It supports the processes underpinning the inflammatory and wounds heal processes.
Hyaluronic acid is found in periodontium in varying concentrations, with higher concentrations found
in non-mineralized structures like gingiva and periodontal ligament and reduced concentrations found
in mineralized tissues like cementum and jaw bone. Recent research indicates that hyaluronic acid
has the capacity to control periodontal tissue repair and therapy of periodontal disorder. For both
deepest periodontium and peripheral gum, hyaluronic acid encourages symptomatic alleviation. The
purpose of the current review was to look into the usage of hyaluronic acid in periodontal treatment
and the publications that currently support it.

Aim of the study: This study's goal was to determine how laser surface alteration affected wettability
of injectable thermoplastic acrylic and heat cure acrylic denture base materials.
Materials and methods: Injectable thermoplastic acrylic resin (Deflex) and heat cure acrylic
(Procryla) were used in this study to produce forty-disc shaped specimens, 20 specimens for each
material type. The control group was made up of ten samples of each type of plastic denture base
material. The other ten samples were treated with a nano-pulse fiber-optic lens Nd:YAG laser. The
results were looked at with the Kruskal-Wallis test and the unpaired t-test (a=.05).
Results: Compared to the control groups, the laser-treated groups were more likely to stick together.
Conclusions: After a Nd:YAG laser was used to treat the surface, both molded acrylic and heat cure
acrylic became easier to wet.

Introduction: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, is a disorder in which differentiated body
cells change at a molecular level resulting in the loss of normal cell regulation, characteristics, and
functions. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer. Cancer patients need
care and assistance from their family members, friends, as well as medical personnel. The study aimed
to assess the psychological status among family caregivers of cancer patients.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was undertaken on 120 caregivers of cancer patients
who were admitted to three Cancer hospitals in Baghdad, Data were collected by using GHQ-12
(general health questionnaire), to determine of psychological status from the 21th November (2021)
to 20th July (2022). Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics (percentage,
frequency, and correlation).
Results: The result of the study shows that 54.2% of caregivers were suffering from moderate
psychological distress. There was statistically significant at the level of p=0.05. there was an
association between psychological distress and socio-demographic variables like the relationship to
a cancer patient (0.023), personal habits (0.043), and care for cancer patients at home (0.046).
Conclusion: The investigator observed that the caregivers of cancer patients were having
psychological problems and the caregivers who were having emotional problems they are more closed
to patient and spend many times with them. Our results suggest that eliciting the perspectives of both
patients and caregivers regarding caregivers ' challenges provids a more comprehensive understanding of their experiences

Introduction: The head and neck region are a common location for benign blood vessel lesions called
vascular malformations. There is no well-established procedure for reducing the size of benign oral
vascular lesions, even though the fact that sclerotherapy is one of the first-line treatments utilized for
this goal. The current study's purpose was to assess and contrast the effectiveness of intra-lesion
sclerotherapy injections of boiled distilled water and alcohol in treating superficial mucosal vascular
malformations in the maxillofacial region.
Materials and methods: In the soft tissues of the craniofacial region, low-flow superficial vascular
malformations were studied in cases that were treated between 2016 and 2021 at Al-Yarmouk
teaching hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, in this retrospective analysis.
Results: There were 20 patients in total who received sclerotherapy, with the age range from 1 to 57
years, ten (50%) of the cases treated using boiled distilled water and 10 (50%) treated by alcohol
injection. The majority (60%) of the participants were women. The tongue (30%) and lips (60%) were
the two most affected body parts. 16 individuals (80%) in both groups experienced total regression.
The lesions partially regressed in four patients (20%).
Conclusion: Sclerotherapy with alcohol or boiled water is an appropriate and cost-effective
therapeutic method that, when carried out properly, exhibits effectiveness.

Introduction: One of the most significant causes of medical, social, and economic issues in both
developed and developing nations is nosocomial infection (NI). The clear duty of nurses and nursing
students is to implement preventative measures and lower the risk of infections (future nurses), this study concern to identify students" Knowledge and the association of their socio
-demographic data.
It is necessary to emphasize and focus on infection prevention and control since education has played
a significant role in expanding the knowledge of infection control among healthcare personnel. There
have been few studies examining this issue in relation to pre-graduation nursing students at Al-Bayan
University.
Methodology: A descriptive (cross-sectional) design was aim to identify the students' knowledge
regarding infection control strategies at intensive care unit in Al- Bayan University through the
application of an online questionnaire. The study started on 13th, January 2021 to the 5 th, June 2021.
The study was carried out through an online questionnaire to the three educational levels (sophomore,
junior and senior) in Al- Bayan University- College of Nursing. A simple random (probability)
sample was used to select (227) participants. Electronic (virtual) classrooms were used to share the
link of an online questionnaire; one month period was allotted to gather the maximum number of
participants.
Results: The study demonstrates that the majority of the subject (62%) were females and the
remaining (38%) were males. It also shows that the study subject mostly lived in urban areas, that the
third stage of the subject's college career recorded the highest percentage (97%) of the subject's
college stages, and that the subject's distribution by marital status shows that the single and married
take the highest percentages (75.4% and 19.7%, respectively), The majority (63.9%) of the study's
sample demonstrates that students generally have little knowledge of emergency stroke management,
that there are no statistically significant differences between genders in this area, that there is no
relationship between marital status and knowledge, and that location has no bearing on students'
knowledge.
Conclusions: Senior, junior, and sophomore record the highest percentage respectively in the college stages of the study subject, most of the students' (74%) were single . the majority of the students'
records moderate to good knowledge regarding infection III control, in addition, the college stages

Introduction: Metals like titanium and its alloys are frequently used in the construction of medical
equipment like dental and orthopedic implants. However, the presence of blood and other bodily
fluids in the immediate surroundings may cause corrosion to this implant.
Materials and Methods: The preparation of circular discs of commercially pure titanium (Cp-Ti)
measuring 10mm in diameter and 2.5mm in thickness. To precipitate the coating layer, Ti samples
have been immersed in a solution of Hydroxyapatite (HA) and chitosan for 90 minutes on a lowspeed stirrer. Samples were taken out and dried in the air as the initial coating step, and then they
were immersed in the mixture once more for 15 minutes before being taken out and dried in a hot air
oven (200 °C).
Results: The results of coated titanium samples have demonstrated diverse surface features, with the
present roughness connected with the appearance of a crystal pool and irregular accumulations of
small, spherical-like grains. Thickness measurement found that the average thickness readings were
60 um. The Energy dispersive x ray studies revealed the presence of ions that made up the HA. The
open circuit potential (OCP) corrosion test and ANOVA test revealed that coating with
hydroxyapatite and chitosan significantly reduces the corrosion rate.
Conclusions: Coating titanium implants with HA or chitosan will, respectively, speed up and slow
down the pace of osseointegration and corrosion.
