Handmade Soap: Using Different Types of Natural Oils

Soaps are the sodium salts or potassium salts of stearic acids or any other fatty acids. They are prepared by the saponification process, which is, reacting the oil which contain triglycerides with caustic soda (NaOH) to give the soap. However different oils have different composition of fatty acids which are responsible for different properties of soaps made out of them. In the present work 5 different types of oils are taken. They are blended in various ratios to prepare 14 different samples of soap. Different properties of these samples were analyzed to see which soap is the best one.

Long-lasting effects of post-traumatic stress disorder in Yazidi women living in Northern Iraqi camps

Abstract: The severity of post-traumatic stress disorder and its long-lasting effects among the Yezidi population has not yet been investigated. Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of PTSD severity and chronicity on physiological and anthropometric parameters in women survivors of the genocide-related events after the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) attack in 2014. Methods: The diagnosis PTSD was assessed using PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Participants were divided into: External control (healthy individuals living outside the camps), Internal control (healthy individuals living in the camps), and PTSD group (individuals diagnosed with PTSD). The PTSD group was subdivided according to chronicity <2 years, 2-5 years, and >5 years and subdivided according to PTSD severity into “Moderate”, “Severe” and “Extreme”. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), blood oxygen saturation (SPO2) and heart rate (HR) were evaluated. Weight, height and waist circumference were measured. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Results: The PTSD group showed significant increases in SBP, DBP, heart rate, BMI, WC, weight, and WHtR compared to the control groups. SPO2 values decreased in the PTSD group. As the disease progressed, there were further increases in SBP, DBP, heart rate, BMI, WC, WHtR, and weight. Similar increases were observed with the severity of the disease. Conclusion: Our data indicates that a long-term impact on physiological and anthropometric parameters is present in women diagnosed with PTSD which might be aggravated by the severity and chronicity of the disease. Keywords: post-traumatic stress disorder; environmental implications; long-term; disease complication; genocide; Yezidi people.

Impacts of Energy Drink on Liver Metabolic Changes of College Students in Northern Iraq

The consumption of energy drinks has been linked to several health issues, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, headaches, sleep disorders, substance abuse, stress, and hyperactivity. This cross-sectional study has analyzed the relationship between energy drinks and liver disease parameters. Total of 50 students including males and females aged 18 to 35 were classified into two groups, (1) the healthy group (25) = healthy individuals living inside the university not consume energy drinks and (2) the energy drink group (25) = case individuals living inside the university consumption of energy drinks. The serum concentration of liver parameters aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were measured by Cobas311. Serum concentration of vitamin B12 was measured by VIDAS®. Additionally, anthropometric measurements were also evaluated. The results showed that the levels of ALT, AST, and vitamin B12 significantly increased in the group of energy drink consumption when compared with the healthy group (p < 0.001). levels of ALT, AST and vitamin B12 significantly increased in males more than in females (p<0.01). The current study concluded that energy drink has significant elevation biochemical parameters including LFT such as ALT, AST, and anthropometric parameters. The results also show that Excessive energy drink consumption has been linked to several cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury. Keywords; ALT, AST, Biomarkers., Energy drink, liver disease, vitamin B12.

Impact of COVID-19 on the thyroid gland in Iraqi females

Thyroid dysfunction has been observed in COVID-19 patients, prompting investigations by endocrinologists. The management of thyroid disease may be affected by pandemic-related restrictions and healthcare reorganization. In this study, we explored the association between COVID-19 and thyroid problems in Iraqi patients, with a particular focus on potential gender-specific effects and the impact of COVID-19 treatment on thyroid function. Our results revealed that SARS-CoV-2 can lead to reversible thyroid dysfunction, including subclinical and atypical thyroiditis. Significantly, our study demonstrated that COVID-19 patients had lower levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) compared to a healthy control group. Additionally, we found that TSH levels in COVID-19 patients were higher than in non-COVID-19 patient group. whereas the CRP and Il-6 levels were increased in COVID-19 patients in comparison to the control group (p< 0.05). These findings highlight the heightened susceptibility of Iraqi women to develop thyroid-related conditions and associated issues in the context of COVID-19. Our study aimed to investigate the correlation of TSH, T4, T3 among COVID-19 survivors (150 Individuals; 75 Healthy and 75 who had COVID-19 virus). Our results suggest that COVID-19 virus may have an important impact on thyroid health and the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis in women which might be aggravated by the severity and chronicity of the disease.

Fluorinated benzimidazole derivatives: In vitro antimicrobial activity

Abstract: Given the pharmacological significance of fluorine-containing heterocycles, in the present paper, a series of benzimidazole having fluoro-benzene moiety within a single molecular framework were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against four Gram-positive bacteria, two Gram-negative bacteria and two fungal strains. The results of antimicrobial activity demonstrated that fluoro-substituted compounds (13-15 and 17-19) have good antibacterial and antifungal properties as compared to unsubstituted parent compounds (12 and 16). Compound 18 which hold fluorine atom in meta-positions of phenyl ring side chain of benzimidazole displayed high activity against Gram-negative bacteria with a MIC value of 31.25 μg/mL. Similarly, 2-(m-fluorophenyl)- benzimidazole derivatives 14 and 18 showed good anti-B. subtilis with a MIC value of 7.81 μg/mL. SAR studies suggested that the presence of methyl substitution group at position 5 of benzimidazole is recommended for significant antifungal activity against C. parapsilosis. The high potency suggested that compound 18 could be a starting point for the discovery and optimization of novel antimicrobial agents.

PATTERNS OF URINARY BIOMARKERS AND BLOOD IMMUNOLOGICAL MARKERS OF PATIENTS WITH URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

ABSTRACT Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a serious public health problem caused by a variety of microorganisms, the most prevalent of which are bacteria. The diversity of the immune system in the urinary tract is a critical factor in the defense against infections. This research included 127 clinically suspected UTI patients that all are treated with urine analysis and complete blood count test in order to observe the increased effects of neutrophils, total white blood cells, mainly granulocytes, and lymphocytes, in response to bacteria in urinary tract infection patients. All were classified into three groups: adult males, females, and children's girls, boys were excluded as they rarely encounter with this infection. In males, significant differences appear between bacteria and pus cells, bacteria and white blood cells as well as bacteria and granulocytes. Regarding females, a significant difference was seen between bacteria and lymphocytes in asymptomatic UTI cases, in contrast, the symptomatic cases showed a significant difference between bacteria and pus cells. Girls with asymptomatic UTI showed a significant difference between bacteria and pus cells, and bacteria and white blood cells. The significant difference between men and women appeared in bacterial presence in urine, white blood cells, and granulocytes. Conclusion; this study supports the great role of neutrophil cells that fight bacteria in blood circulation and later become pus cells in urine. KEYWORDS: Adaptive immunity, Bacteria, Innate immunity, Pus cells, Urine analysis test.

Synthesis and Evaluation of a Series of 2-naphthylbenzazole Derivatives as Potential Anticancer Agents

The mainstay of cancer treatment is still the use of small heteroaromatic organic molecules or natural products with the main goal to create new drugs with better selectivity and activity. Benzazoles such as benzoxazole, benzothiazole and benzimidazole have shown special biological activities viz. antitumor, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and treatment of physiological disorders [1, 2]. Structural modifications of the benzazole structures are being carried out in several ways in order to anticipate enhanced biological activities. These structural modifications have given a large number of available benzazole compounds for pharmacological research [3]. Moreover, naphthalene containing analogues have been reported as potent anticancer agents [4]. Taking into account that both benzimidazole and naphthalene are among the privileged aromatic subunits and important building blocks in medicinal chemistry since they have positive influence on anticancer activity. In this study, we have synthesized a series of 2-naphthylbenzazole derivatives and characterized their structure by spectral data. Then, antiproliferative effects of 2-naphthylbenzazole compounds against different cancer cell lines were investigated by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) method. Most of the compounds showed moderate to high activity with low IC50 values. From the synthesized compounds P-3 and P-5 exhibited the most potent anti-cancer activities against the tasted cancer cells. Especially, compound P-5 was identified as the most promising compound. Further analysis is therefore needed to determine the mode of action of active compounds.

Cytotoxic activity evaluation of naphthalene substituted benzimidazole derivatives

: Compounds bearing naphthalene and benzimidazole pharmacophores have been reported to possess excellent anticancer activity. In view of this, we designed, synthesized and characterized a series of naphthalene substituted benzimidazole derivatives (11–19), and further evaluated them for antiproliferative activities by employing MTT method. Among the nine investigated molecules, compounds (11 and 13) showed good antiproliferation of the tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.078 to 0.625 µM. In addition, compound (18) exhibited selective cytotoxicity against HepG2 cell lines with high safety to normal cell (HEK293). Furthermore, cytotoxicity studies of these compounds against normal Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) revealed that the target molecules were less selective against HEK293 as compared to methotrexate (positive control). The high potency and selective cytotoxicity suggested that compound 18 could be a starting point for further optimization to develop novel antitumor agents towards liver cancer.

Impact of Nuts Consumption On Antioxidant Status and Pro-Oxidant Parameters in Healthy Human Volunteers

The aim of the current research was to study the effect of consumption of a mixture of almond and pistachio on antioxidants and pro-oxidants levels in healthy human volunteers. This dietary intervention study was carried out during the period from February to March, 2013 on a total of 48 apparently healthy males students from Military Academy / Zakho, Kurdistan Region- Iraq. Blood samples were withdrawn from all volunteer who were living in a controlled environment and analyzed for the determination of serum antioxidants, pro-oxidants. Parameters were obtained at baseline, 3 and 6 weeks after daily consumption of 50 gm. of a mixture of almond and pistachio. The results of the current study demonstrated that daily consumption of 50 g of almond and pistachio mixture for 3-6 weeks, significantly increased (P<0.05-0.005) the levels of total antioxidant, Ceruloplasmin, Superoxide dismutase and Glutathione reductase. On the other hand, the levels of the pro-oxidants Malonaldehyde and Peroxy- nitrite were significantly decreased (P<0.005) after 6 weeks of nuts consumption compared to the control. From this dietary intervention trial, it can be concluded that almonds and pistachio mixture improved anti-oxidants and pro-oxidants status compared with those of the healthy volunteers.

IMPACT OF NUTS CONSUMPTION ON BLOOD PRESSURE, GLYCEMIC STATUS, LIPID PROFILE AND TOTAL PROTEIN IN HEALTHY HUMAN VOLUNTEERS

Abstract Objective: To investigate the advantage of consumption of a mixture of almond and pistachio on blood pressure, lipid profile, sugar and protein levels in healthy volunteers. Subjects and Methods: This dietary intervention study was carried out during the period from February to March 2013. A total of 48 apparently healthy males students from Military Academy / Zakho, Kurdistan Region of Iraq participated in this study. All the students were living in a controlled environment. Blood samples were taken and analyzed for the determination of serum glucose, lipid profile, total protein, albumin and globulin. Parameters were obtained at baseline, 3 and 6 weeks after daily consumption of 50gm of almond and pistachio mixture. Results: The results of the current study demonstrated that daily consumption of 50 gs of almond and pistachio mixture for 3-6 weeks significantly ( P<0.05 – 0.001) decreased the diastolic blood pressure and the level of blood glucose , whereas body mass index (BMI) was not influenced at all. Serum total protein, albumin and globulin levels were significantly increased (P<0.05-0.005). Finally, Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-ch), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( VLDL-ch), TC/HDL and LDL/HDL were significantly decreased (P<0.05-0.005) after 6 weeks of nuts consumption, where as high density lipoproteincholesterol, was significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion: This dietary intervention trial, demonstrated that almonds and pistachio mixture improved blood glucose , total protein, and lipid profile to much better levels than that obtained previously using each one separately in healthy volunteers.
