By 100 randomly samples of nurses working in different units in Al-Zahraa Hospital-Najaf City, Iraq. This semi-experimental study was performed. The study began from December 2023 until April 2024. The study included a sample of different ages, gender and experience, working in different units in the hospital, married and unmarried, and living in the urban and the rural. Results: Results: The results show the total rating of sample knowledge concerning Trichomoniasis in primary test was a moderate with mean (0.57) and the mean of next test was a good (0.84), also the results observe a highly significant difference (P< 0.01) between pre-test and post-test assessments. In addition, according to their Socio-Demographic Characteristics the study revealed, the groups' Knowledge non important difference in the next test. Conclusions: Conclusion: This study concluded that there is an improvement in the knowledge after the program for all nurses

Nosocomial infections represent a major problem worldwide. Because it causes illness and death, it is considered a major burden to patients, and healthcare workers. Although nosocomial infections occur worldwide and affect all countries, healthcare-associated infections can however be prevented through some inexpensive strategies. This study aims to investigate the bacteria causing hospital infections in different settings of healthcare centers, and to evaluate medical students’ knowledge about preventing and controling infections in hospitals. Students' knowledge of nosocomial infection prevention and control was assessed through a cross-sectional descriptive study. In addition, this study was conducted amongst medical students for the period between December 27th, 2022 and July 15th, 2023. The non-probability specimens are composed of 608 students. A questionnaire and an interview were used as methods of data collection. The questionnaire consists of two parts: one is the demographic characteristics of the students, and the other is the students’ knowledge of infection control. In addition, experts evaluated the validity and reliability of the questionnaire separately using Cronbach's alpha. The results arrived at in this study showed that more than two-thirds of the specimens had an intermediate level of knowledge. The survey results also showed that the most popular proportions of students were those between 18 and 22 years old (69.85%), female (68.86%), urban areas (78.58%), and students with sufficient income (60.96%). The results also showed that students have a moderate level of knowledge on the prevention and control of hospital infections.

The study employed a cross-sectional study to assess nurses' knowledge regarding dengue fever in Al-Najaf city from September 2023 to April 2024. The study involved 219 nurses selected through non-probability convenience sampling from various wards in hospitals within Al-Najaf city. Data was collected using a questionnaire developed based on pertinent literature, comprising two sections: socio-demographic information and an assessment of nurses' dengue fever knowledge. Data collection involved both Google Forms and traditional questionnaire techniques. Results The findings indicate that most nurses exhibit a satisfactory level of knowledge regarding dengue fever. Moreover, statistically significant relationships were observed between nurses' dengue fever

Background: Staphylococcus aureus that is a major health problem in hospitals, recognized as the greatest important nosocomial pathogen and usually causing postoperative wound infections. Antibiotic resistance by Staphylococcus aureus has developed to be common, and resistance to almost all antibiotics has been found among the most strains of this pathogen. Biofilms are generally more resistant to both host’s defense mechanisms and to antibiotics than planktonic unicellular microbes. Therefore, it is increasingly recognized as important health problem for patients with microbial infections. Moreover, Staphylococcal diseases has found to be connected with programmed cell death in order to cause numerous diseases in human hosts. All that made Staphylococcus aureus infections are hard to treat. Selenium has been examined for numerous medical applications and evidence suggested that Staphylococcus aureus growth can be inhibited in the presence of selenium nanoparticles. Objectives: The specific objective of this study therefore was to investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated risk factors of Staphylococcus aureus in patients with surgical site infections and burns infection. In addition to confirm that selenium nanoparticles may be used to effectively prevent and treat Staphylococcus aureus infections and thus should be further studied for such applications. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1, 2022 to December 30, 2022 among patients with surgical site infections and burns infection at Al- Najaf city hospitals in Iraq country. A total of 275 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were recovered from hospital patients with postoperative wound infection or burns infection isolation and identification were based on standard bacteriological and biochemical criteria. Biofilms formation in vitro was carried out by microtiter plate spectrophotometric technique. Through using the standard disc diffusion technique, isolated strains of Staphylococcus aureus were tested for antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Host cell killing by Staphylococcus aureus was assayed by using florescent microscopy. Finally, selenium nanoparticles to inhibit bacteria were tested by measuring the sizes of the inhibition zone for bacterial growth.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the curative role of Camel's milk (200μl) against various pathogenesis induced by visceral leishmaniasis caused by the L. donovani agent in vivo. A study was concluded on 54 males BALB/c mice weighing (25-30g), aged (6-8) weeks, at the animal house, included some physiological and histological criteria. The present study was conducted in the laboratories of Faculty of Science / University of Kufa during the period from January to December 2018. The animals experimental are divided into 3 major groups, each group subdivided into 3 groups (n= 6 mice per each subgroup) for the duration of 15, 30 and 45 days after administration with Camel's milk (200μl). Physiological study of blood parameters values and the histopathological of the liver and spleen tissue revealed that positive groups for three and four months post infection with promastigotes of parasite was caused more change and injury of the liver and spleen as compared with negative groups, While in treatments with Camel's milk, there were less injury and show less physiological and histological changes in the liver and spleen tissue. In conclusion this study confirmed that the Camel's milk has curative properties and has ability for reducing the changes in the hematological parameters and tissues.

This study conducted to evaluate the interleukin-8 and interleukin- 10 level in hypertension and myocardial infarction patients in the period from March to December 2018 by using ELISA technique .A total of thirty three (33) patients from which (5 women and 8 men) with MI and (7 women and 4 men) with hypertension and a total of 19 (7 women and 12 men) healthy individuals were considered as control group .Resulting in, the mean of interleukin-8 level of hypertension and myocardial infarction patients (416.6 pg/ml) and (433.2pg/ml) respectively, with significant elevation comparing with non hypertension (292.03 pg/ml), non myocardial patients (378.9 pg/ml) and control (123.1 pg/ml), furthermore, mean of interleukin-10 level of hypertension and myocardial infarction patients (320.5pg/ml) and (102.9 pg/ml) respectively, with significantly different compared with non patients and control, where show significant increase mean of interleukin-10 level of hypertension compared with non hypertension patients (260.5 pg/ml) and control (129.4 pg/ml), also show a significant decline mean of interleukin-10 level for myocardial in comparison with non myocardial patients (146.3 pg/ml) and control (129.4 pg/ml) .)Concluded that interleukin-8( pro and anti- inflammatory )significantly raised in hypertension and myocardial infarction in coronary artery patients, in contrast, this result observed decrease production of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 in myocardial patients.
