Comparative Analysis of Extraction Techniques for Enhancing the Photoprotective Activity of Boswellia Species Resin
type: item
description: Section: Biology This study investigates the photoprotective properties of Boswellia species resin, commonly known as frankincense, and evaluates its potential as a natural sunscreen agent. Considering the increasing interest in natural skincare alternatives, this research examines the ultraviolet (UV) absorption characteristics and the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of frankincense extracts. Three distinct formulations were prepared: a standard zinc oxide suspension, a macerated frankincense extract, and a sonicated frankincense extract. Spectrophotometric analysis was employed to determine the absorbance spectra in the 290-320 nm range, and SPF values were calculated using the Mansur equation. In addition, a preliminary phytochemical screening of the frankincense resin was conducted to identify the presence of key bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and alkaloids. Results indicated that the sonicated frankincense extract exhibited a significantly higher SPF value than the macerated extract and the standard zinc oxide suspension. This suggests that the extraction method significantly influences the photoprotective efficacy of the resin. The phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids in frankincense. This study scientifically validates the traditional use of frankincense in skincare, highlighting its potential as a natural source of UV protection. The findings highlight the importance of extraction techniques in optimizing the photoprotective properties of natural products

Analysis of UreC, MrpA, HpmA, and UreR Genes in Proteus mirabilis and Their Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
type: item
description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences Keywords: Proteus mirabilis , snp, ure genes Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen commonly implicated in urinary tract infections (UTIs) in both humans and animals. This study aimed to isolate and identify P. mirabilis from urine samples of humans, cats, and dogs, and to evaluate the presence and genetic variability of selected virulence genes. A total of 150 urine samples (50 from each host species) were collected using sterile techniques. Isolation was performed on HiCrome UTI agar, and identification was confirmed using the VITEK-2 system. PCR was employed to detect four virulence genes: ureC, hpmA, mrpA, and ureR, followed by sequencing and SNP analysis. Out of the 150 samples, 18 isolates were identified as P. mirabilis. DNA sequencing revealed varying numbers of SNPs among the genes, with mrpA exhibiting the highest polymorphism (5605 SNPs), suggesting potential genetic diversity and adaptation mechanisms. These findings highlight the zoonotic potential of P. mirabilis and emphasize the importance of molecular characterization to understand its virulence and evolutionary dynamics in different hosts.

type: item
description: Section: Agriculture Categories: Agriculture Keywords: Antioxidants, Blood Sugar Regulation, Cardiovascular Health, Fertility Enhancement, Joint Health Quail eggs are a highly nutritious food that has a positive impact on many aspects of general health. Scientific research has shown that quail eggs effectively contribute to regulating blood sugar levels, as they help improve the body's response to insulin, which contributes to reducing blood glucose levels and enhancing the prevention of diabetes. In addition, quail eggs play an important role in improving heart health by reducing levels of harmful cholesterol (LDL) and increasing levels of good cholesterol (HDL), which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Quail eggs are also rich in antioxidant compounds such as selenium and vitamin E, which help reduce oxidative stress and improve blood vessel health. In addition, studies indicate that quail eggs enhance fertility in men and women, as they contain essential minerals and vitamins that contribute to enhancing reproductive functions and regulating hormone levels. Regarding joint health, quail eggs appear to contain essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and collagen, which contribute to reducing inflammation and relieving joint pain. In general, quail eggs are considered a complete nutritional option that promotes overall health through their multiple effects on the body's vital functions.

type: item
description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences Keywords: Cytokine Profiling, Bladder Cancer, Urinary Tract Infections. Background: Excessive inflammation in bladder cancer cases often leads to complications, and UTIs have been shown to strengthen existing bladder inflammation. IL-1β and TNF-α function as a crucial substance during this process. The inflammatory mediators, pro-inflammatory cytokines, guideinfection defense against UTIs and cancer susceptibility and progression. Aim of the study: The first objective of this research was to assess and differentiate IL-1β and TNF-α concentrations in bladder cancer patients with recurring orwithout UTIs. This research examined how UTIs affect bladder cancer patients' inflammatory cytokines in their bloodstream while studying whether such infections correlate with cytokine measurements. Methods: Researchers obtained 76 blood samples totaling 2ml from bladder cancer patients throughout the Oncology Center in Najaf Governorate from June 2024 until December 2024. This investigation included patient populations between the ages of 45 to 75 years. Researchers measured IL-1beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) concentrations through bladder cancer samples obtained from 40 patients with UTIs versus samples obtained from 36 patients who did not develop UTIs. Blood samples were collected from healthy individuals to serve as a control group. Results: This study analyzed 76 blood samples from bladder cancer patients,40 of whom also had a urinary tract infection (UTI), including 30 males and 10 females aged 50–75. The remaining 36 patients, all males aged 60–70, had bladder cancer without UTI. Additionally, 30 healthy individuals served as controls. Immunological analysis showed significantly elevated levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in bladder cancer patients with UTI compared to those without UTI and the control group. Notably, TNF-α levels were highest in the UTI group (1.7525 ± 0.0693) and progressively lower in non-UTI…

Enhancing IoT Smart Door Lock Security Using Chameleon Swarm Algorithm, SHA-256, and ECC
type: item
description: Section: Mathematics and Computer Science Categories: Mathematics and Computer Science The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, spanning from smart home appliances to wearable technology, has significantly heightened concerns regarding security and privacy across various sectors. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and frequent, the urgency for robust, adaptable security frameworks within IoT infrastructures is more critical than ever. This study introduces a cutting-edge security framework tailored for IoT-based smart door locks, which employs a novel integration of the Chameleon Swarm Algorithm (CSA), Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-256, and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). We conducted comprehensive performance evaluations in a Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 environment, where our proposed framework was benchmarked against conventional hybrid methods based on Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Firefly Algorithm such as - SHA-256-ECC-GA and SHA-256-ECC-FA. These evaluations demonstrated that our framework significantly enhances security performance, achieving up to 15.17% faster encoding times at 100 iterations and markedly quicker decoding times at 150 iterations compared to the benchmark techniques. The improvements confirm the framework’s effectiveness in not only bolstering IoT device security but also in its potential for scalability and adaptability across diverse IoT applications. Furthermore, the integration of advanced algorithms like CSA, SHA-256, and ECC effectively addresses critical vulnerabilities, particularly in smart door locks, thereby paving the way for safer, more secure IoT environments. This study exemplifies how innovative cryptographic techniques can be strategically applied to meet the evolving security demands of the IoT landscape.

type: item
description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences Keywords: Evaluation, Knowledge, Perceptions, Sugar-Sweetened Beverages, Adult, Nasiriyah Hospitals, BMI Background: The widespread consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), particularly by adults in developing nations, contributes to increased diet-related health issues. Food choices and consumption are influenced by several factors, including people's views toward food and their understanding of nutrition, which empowers them to make well-informed food choices. Objective: To assess adults' perceptions and understanding of SSBs who attend hospitals. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design utilizing a non-random convenient sampling technique, with a target sample of 384 participants, was employed to assess knowledge and perceptions regarding SSBs at four hospitals in Nasiriyah City, Thi-Qar Governorate / Iraq. The hospitals included were Nasiriyah Teaching Hospital, Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital, Bint Al-Huda Teaching Hospital, and Al-Haboubi Teaching Hospital. This study was conducted from August 15, 2024, to January 20, 2025. Results: Most participants (92.7%) acknowledged the high sugar content of SSBs. Furthermore, 62.8% of respondents thought manufactured sugars were worse than natural ones. Additionally, only 26.8% of participants had a good awareness score, 28.9% had a poor knowledge score, and 44.3% had a fair knowledge score. The urgent need to improve health awareness in this area is highlighted by the fact that this level of knowledge is insufficient to improve the overall score to good. Furthermore, the study's findings show no statistically significant correlation between the overall cognitive score and specific sociodemographic traits (such as age groups, gender, and place of residence). On the other hand, other sociodemographic factors (such as educational level, socioeconomic status, and BMI categories) showed a statistically significant correlation, with a p-value of less than …

Lipid Profile and DNA Fragmentation Index in Abnormal Semen and Normal Semen
type: item
description: Section: Biology Categories: Biology Keywords: Semen quality, lipid profile, DNA fragmentation, and male infertility Male infertility exists as a complex medical issue which depends on multiple physiological and biochemical factors particularly lipid metabolism and genetic integrity. The research evaluated how lipid profile characteristics relate to DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in Iraqi men who have either normal or abnormal semen test results. The study enrolled 90 male participants who included 46 men with normal semen characteristics between ages 20 to 45 and 44 men with abnormal semen parameters. Semen samples underwent analysis for standard parameters and lipid profile and DFI. The aberrant semen group displayed elevated triglyceride (TG) levels at 19.32±5.60 mg/dl which exceeded normal group levels at 14.50±4.62 mg/dl (P<0.01). The analysis revealed no significant variation between cholesterol (CHO) levels (P=0.410) but LDL levels of the aberrant semen group (6.38±4.12 mg/dl) significantly diverged from the normal group levels (9.03±3.43 mg/dl with P<0.01). The DNA fragmentation index (DFI) levels of the aberrant semen group exceeded those of the normal semen group by a significant margin (31.66±16.15% versus 13.54±9.49%, P<0.01). This indicates that men with poor semen quality typically present with sperm DNA damage. The research findings suggest that abnormal lipid metabolism together with increased DNA fragmentation plays a role in male infertility development particularly among men with abnormal semen analysis results.

description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences Keywords: Prostate Hyperplasia, Prostate Cancer, Age Distribution, BMI, semen analysis Methods: The study aimed to assess the age, BMI, Period of _Infertility Counts, types of infertility distribution of patients diagnosed with prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer in Najaf, Iraq. The data was categorized into two age groups: less than 40 years and more than 40 years. BMI was categorized into two groups: less than 25 kg/m^2 and more than 25 kg/m^2. The Chi-square test evaluated statistical significance to analyze how prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer affected distribution patterns of azoospermia, asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia, oligozoospermia, and unexplained infertility. Results: A significant association was found between age and prostate condition (X2 = 48.21, P = 0.0001). Prostate cancer was significantly more prevalent in men over 40 (77.3%), while Prostate Hyperplasia was observed in both age groups, with a slightly higher percentage in men under 40 (51.7%). No statistically significant association was found between BMI and the presence of prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer. The BMI distribution was similar between the two groups, with a slightly higher prevalence of normal/healthy weight (BMI < 25 kg/m^2) in both conditions. No statistically significant association was found between "Period_of Infertility Counts" and the presence of prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer. The distribution of "Period_Infertility Counts" was similar between the two groups. Research established an important connection between infertility type and prostate condition occurrence. "Unexplained Infertility" was the most common type in both prostatic hyperplasia(84.5%) and prostate cancer (50.0%). However, the distribution of other infertility types differed significantly between the two groups. Older age (OR = 3.64, p = 0.024), fertile periods greater than 5 years (OR = 4.87, p = 0.035), azoospermia (…

Characterization of Staphylococcus aureus in Conjunctivitis: Efflux Pumps and Virulence Factors
type: item
description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus, Conjunctivitis, Efflux Pumps, Virulence Factors Pink eye or conjunctivitis remains one of the most widespread eye infections where Staphylococcus aureus which is both virulent and antibiotic-resistant stands among several infecting pathogens as a Gram-positive bacterium. This study aimed to characterize S. aureus in conjunctivitis, focusing on antimicrobial susceptibility Patterns, efflux pumps and virulence genes. The researchers obtained 150 sample collections from patients experiencing symptoms of conjunctivitis at From Al-Nasiriyah Teaching Hospital along with Al-Haboubi General Hospital in Ophthalmology Consultant at Dhi Qar Governorate in Iraq throughout August to December 2024. These samples received culture on blood, chocolate, and MacConkey agar media. Of the isolates, 34 (40%) were typed as S. aureus by the Vitek2 compact system. Antibiotic susceptibility testing indicated resistance in some of the isolates, and further assessment of efflux pump activity was performed by the ethidium bromide cartwheel method. Of the 20 resistant isolates, 7 (20.6%) were found to have efflux pump activity. Molecular analysis by PCR identified the presence of three virulence genes sigB, katG, and clfA in all efflux-positive isolates. The genes perform multiple functions which include stress response together with oxidative defense and host adhesion mechanisms and specifically contribute to S. aureus pathogenicity of conjunctivitis. The article highlights S. aureus's survival and adaptation through antibiotic resistance and virulence factor mechanisms and producing difficulties in bacterial conjunctivitis control.

Comparison study of AMH levels and BMI in polycystic ovary syndrome patients
type: item
description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences The ovarian follicles generate the hormone known as AMH(Anti-Müllerian hormone). The hormone AMH shows higher levels in patients who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The research investigates the connection between AMH hormone levels in PCOS patients through hormone analysis of women with the syndrome versus a control group. AMH levels are measured to assess the ovary's capacity to generate eggs, which is advantageous for reproductive treatments, and to diagnose PCOS by identifying an increased number of tiny follicles. The current study included 90 Iraqi women (aged 18-40 years): 46 with PCOS and a control group of 44 healthy women. Blood samples were taken from the study participants to evaluate the levels of certain hormones, including AMH. The following parameters were studied: AMH levels were significantly elevated in both normal weight and overweight/obese PCOS women compared to their respective control groups. This is a hallmark of PCOS, reflecting increased ovarian follicle count. The p-value of 0.015* shows this for normal weight PCOS vs. normal weight control group. AMH (ng/ml) (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): levels are significantly p ≤ 0.05 higher in PCOS women

description: Section: Medical Sciences Categories: Medical Sciences Keywords: : Matricariachamomilla, plantextract, Acanthamoeba The protozoan Acanthamoeba can significantly damage vision. It enters eye through contaminated contact lenses or water and, immediately kills target cells. This study aimed to use Matricaria chamomilla aqueous extract as a treatment for Acanthamoeba castellani experimentally infected mouse eyes. Samples of Matricaria chamomilla plants were acquired from nurseries in the Basrah Province. Following the preparation of plant extracts, gas contact mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify the active components, showing that aqueous plant extract of Matricaria chamomilla included active substances like alkaloids, phenols, tannins, glycosides, and flavones. Corneal scrapings were collected from patients in Basrah Teaching Hospital. The isolated protozoan has been morphologically classified in the collected specimens to the genus level depending on cyst morphology, given the genus A. Castellani. Plant extracts from Matricaria chamomilla have been examined in vivo for their capacity to destroy Acanthamoeba cells. Acanthamoeba trophozoites (6 x 104 cells per ml) were inoculated into the eyes of healthy BALB/C mice (Mus musculus) and used for histological tests. The effects of Matricaria chamomilla aqueous plant extract on mice with healthy eyes showed that the epithelial layer healed, returning to its standard histological structure, and the protozoa went away.

type: item
description: Section: Agriculture Categories: Agriculture Keywords: Innate Immunity , Trained Immunity, Chicks To allow poultry to be produced with good producibility and safety with high-quality products, the avian immune system is essential. Vaccinations, feed supplements, and other treatments have been shown to improve innate immunity in a variety of animals throughout the last ten years. Based on this study, it is demonstrated whether synthetic IgY might effectively induce trained innate immunity in chickens to improve their defense mechanisms against viral infection. This study made use of 120 one-day-old chicks and assigned them to six categories; G1, chicks were given only natural ration and water; G2, chicks were treated with ND vaccine; Groups 3,4, and 5 were treated with IgY orally, IM, and SQ respectively; G6, chicks were treated orally by IgY+ND vaccine, all treatment done at 12th days old, after 3 weeks the blood has been collected and Hemagglutination inhibitions (HI) test performed for all chicks’ groups. The body weight significantly (P≤0.5) increased in week one and week two in groups that received IgY orally and synergistic group vs. the other group, while in week three, all groups that received IgY, more specifically oral route showed highly significant (P≤0.5) increasing vs. to the other groups. The IgY increased immunity in chicks after each challenge significantly vs. the other groups including the ND vaccine group, followed by the synergistic group also showed a peak in immunity (P≤0.5). According to the study, broiler chicks given chicken IgY had higher HI titters and higher protection rates, and the oral IgY produced better outcomes.
