<p><u> Background</u>:</p> <p><em>Escherichia</em> species, which include <em>E. fergusonii, E. vulneris, E. hermanii, E. blattae, E. albertii, </em>and <em>E. coli</em>, are members of the bacterial family Enterobacteriaceae.One of the most crucial components of <em>E. coli's</em> pathogenicity is adhesion, and the invasion process is thought to begin when the bacteria bind to uroepithelial cells. Numerous <em>E. coli</em> strains express type 1 fimbria (pilus), which is present in more than 95% of <em>E. coli</em> isolates from infections inside and outside the body. For bacteria that live in a variety of settings, including biotic and abiotic surfaces, pili function as highly effective adhesion tools. The distribution of type 1 pili on the surface of UPEC is uniform.</p> <p><u>Materials and Methods:</u></p> <p>For this study, (80) samples were gathered from patients with various ailments who visited hospitals in the AL margan Hilla city between July and October 2022. The samples came from individuals of both sexes and of various ages.The patients' ages ranged from 20 to 60.</p> <p><u>Results:</u></p> <p>18 <em>E. coli</em> isolates were found in this study among patients with UTI, vaginitis, and wound infections. </p> <p> By employing PCR methods, the results revealed that only 14 isolates were positive for the <em>fim</em> H gene.</p> <p><u>Conclusion</u></p> <p>Most commonly, urine, vagina, and wounds can be used to isolate <em>Escherichia coli</em>. The <em>fim</em> H gene, which is important for bacterial adhesion, was present in the majority of <em>E. coli </em>isolates. The PCR method is used to find some sticky genes. All <em>E. coli</em> clinical isolates tested positive for colonization factor antigen (CFA). On CFA, epigenine had little impact.</p>

https://journalofbabylon.com/index.php/JUBPAS/article/view/4981
<p> Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a challenging and even fatal disorder that is becoming more widely known (CLS). After the initial hazy symptoms, the interesting The dual paradox of broad severe edema & hypovolemia, as well as hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia, which is a characteristic of CLS, manifests. . A poor outcome during The iatrogenic fluid surplus during the leak phase is often linked to the spontaneous resolutive phase. The main causes of CLS are malignancy, viruses, inflammatory diseases, medications (anti-tumoral therapy), and malignancy. In honor of its discoverer, the idiopathic variety is known as Clarkson's disease. A substantial, transient, and complex endothelium disruption, the mechanisms of which are now unclear, is a component of CLS' pathogenesis. Empirical and experience-based therapy consists of pharmacological treatment during the acute stage (perhaps with the addition of medication) that increase rates of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the most severe patients), for avoiding relapses with monthly administration of adaptable immunoglobulins. Due to the scattered nature of the CLS literature, we set out to gather and summarize the most recent studies on the condition in order to help in its identification, comprehension, and treatment.</p>

https://journalofbabylon.com/index.php/JUBPAS/article/view/4985
<p><u>Background</u>:</p> <p>The process of groundwater recharge is considered as one of the most important processes for the management of water resources, both surface and groundwater.</p> <p><u>Materials and Methods</u>:</p> <p>The current study uses the application of the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) model in geospatial analysis to delineate potential areas for groundwater recharge. The foundations of this model were laid by Saaty. The analytical method was used to calculate the natural weight of the factors individually, according to the size of the groundwater recharge potential. Each factor within the GIS environment was reclassified according to the AHP technique.</p> <p><u>Results</u>:</p> <p>The results show that in large regions of the study area, about 38.7% have poor to very poor recharge potential, 29.3% of the area is moderate, 19.5% of the area has good recharge potential, and the remaining area (12.3%) has very good potential for groundwater recharge. The soil factor showed that it was the most influential factor in the delineation of groundwater recharge areas for the study area.</p> <p><u>Conclusion</u>:</p> <p>The potential zones of very good and good groundwater occupy 312.67 and 495.70 km<sup>2</sup>, respectively, which are 12.3% and 19.5% of the study area. It appears from the map of groundwater potential zones that the areas of good and very good recharge are mostly prominent in the sedimentary plains with low slopes and high drainage density. Also, a small part of it appears in the mountainous areas, which represent the main recharge areas for the falling rainwater.</p>

https://journalofbabylon.com/index.php/JUBPAS/article/view/4986
<p>Background:</p> <p>Type of turbulent isobaric surfaces in the geostrophic state of the environment. It has been proven that depending on the index of high air temperature at the equator in the geological state of the air, the isobaric surface has the state of an oblate or elongated geoid.</p> <p>Materials and Methods:</p> <p>As you know, the geostrophic state plays an extremely important role in the dynamics of the atmosphere. Analysis of the estimates of the quantities included in the equation of atmospheric dynamics (scale analysis) makes it possible to write the following expressions for the projections of the velocity of the geostrophic wind.</p> <p>Results:</p> <p>As a result, we get the accompanying image. When the temperature rise at the equator is positive, the isobaric surface is in the state of an elongated geoid, and the warm air moves clockwise in advection to the column, where there is a greatest adduct and the breeze velocity at the column is limited.</p> <p>Conclusion:</p> <p>Thus, from the above analysis of the geostrophic state of the atmosphere, it follows that the following situations are possible at the pole in the geostrophic state. The first situation: the isobaric surface at the pole has the shape of an oblate geoid, the pressure decreases in comparison with the static state - a global isobaric minimum takes place. The second situation: the isobaric surface has the shape of an elongated geoid, the pressure at the pole increases in comparison with the static state - a global maximum takes place.</p> <p> </p>

https://journalofbabylon.com/index.php/JUBPAS/article/view/4987
<p><strong><u>Background:</u></strong></p> <p> Recurrent miscarriage is a medical condition characterized by two or more spontaneous abortions, which can be precipitated by various factors. The etiology of RM is complex and involves a wide range of intricate factors, primarily including genetic predisposition, immunological abnormalities, structural abnormalities, endocrinological dysregulation, and infectious agents. However, despite extensive scientific inquiry, the etiology of recurrent miscarriage remains elusive in roughly half of cases. Among the potential causative agents for fetal well-being threats, viral infections are the most prevalent cause of congenital infections. Evidence suggests that Cytomegalovirus infections may contribute to pregnancy loss in women. Blood type has also been linked to a host of diseases, serving as receptors or co-receptors for pathogens and promoting the uptake of viral particles into cells. Therefore, comprehending the role of these factors in recurrent miscarriage is essential for designing effective prevention and treatment strategies for this condition.</p> <p><strong><u>Materials and Methods:</u></strong> In the period spanning from September 2022 to January 2023, 64 women who had experienced recurrent miscarriages were selected for blood sample collection. Sera were separated to diagnose CMV-IgG by Chemiluminescence immunoassay. Additionally, the ABO blood group was detected in the patients.</p> <p><strong><u>Results:</u></strong> Nearly 78.1% of participants were positive for anti CMV-IgG, with the highest percentage of infection found in the age group of 26 to 35 years and individuals with blood group (O+) being more susceptible to infection.</p> <p> Conclusion: Blood group O acts as risk factor for recurrent miscarriages caused by CMV infection.</p>
