Effect of Antibiotic Use on Streptococcus mutans in Al-Najaf Province

October 2020 to May 2021 could be the duration of this study. In the central laboratory of a hospital located in the province of Al‐Najaf, Streptococcus mutans bacteria from dental caries infections are identified, isolated, and tested to ascertain their susceptibility to antibiotic sensitivity and biofilm formation. The results showed that 68 isolates from 150 samples taken from dental caries infections belonged to oral streptococci. Furthermore, 20 bacterial isolates of S. mutans (13.3%) wer...

Association of ROS with COVID-19 Infection Levels (Simple, Moderate and Severe)

A world pandemic of COVID-19 cause a hug panic over many countries, different factors contributed in COVID-19 comorbidities and complications like, reactive oxygen species (ROS), ROSs are an essential molecules for normal cell function and immune response during COVID- 19 thus the present study aims to estimate the Association of ROS with covid-19 infection level, A case-control study was conducted to achieve this aim, ROS, age, BMI and duration were studied and its related with infection...

Study of the Effect of Aqueous Extracts of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis in Inhibiting the Growth of Bacteria Isolated From Euphrates River Water

Eucalyptus is an evergreen tree that is often used for its therapeutic benefits. Although native to Australia, this popular tree now flourishes in many places of the world. It has lengthy stems and long oval leaves that are difficult to digest if eaten whole. However, eucalyptus leaves can be turned into a tea that is safe to drink. Additionally, the leaves can be turned into an essential oil for topical application or inhalation. Methodology diffusion in the pits was employed to investig...

Modify TFBG Sensor Properties Using Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique for Refractive Index Sensing

The present research the properties of the optical fiber type of Silica TFBG with a wavelength of 1550 nm were examined and improved, where the refractive index was sensing to different concentrations of sodium nitrate, then the thickness of the optical fiber was reduced by chemical treatment using hydrofluoride acid at a concentration of 10% and using SPR technique it was coated with gold film, where the results showed that there is a displacement in the wavelengths of both the transmitt...

Evaluation of Serum TWEAK in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) with and Without Clinically Evident Nephritis

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a form of glomerulonephritis that constitutes one of the most severe organ manifestations of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Anders. LN was related to fibrosis in the kidney. As an important marker in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, TNF‐like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) has been given much attention concerning its role in regulating the pro‐inflammatory immune response, dysregulated expression of TWEAK, Fn14 has been ...
