Authors: Cui Zhengxi
Published: October 2024

Nowadays, agricultural carbon emissions become one of the reasons for the global greenhouse effect. Thus, it is imperative to effectively lower carbon emissions from the agricultural domain. China has the largest corporate production and fertilizer consumption in the world. Greenhouse gases such as Carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrous dioxide (N2O), and Methane (CH4) are produced via heavy agricultural activities. Agricultural Carbon Trading (ACT) could maximize the total amount of gases produced in agricultural activities by trading the carbon emissions in a separate market. This study evaluates the feasibility of ACT to reduce agricultural emissions in China. It delves into the development of the agricultural market in developed countries and compares it with China. Firstly, the successful factors that could be applied to the carbon trading market of China are examined. Secondly, relevant policies for supporting the future ACT market are analyzed. Thirdly, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing Chinese carbon trading system are discussed.

Authors: Lai Xiang
Published: October 2024

In democratic countries like Canada, elections provide eligible citizens (aged 18 or older) the opportunity to vote and elect their leader. Since different political parties have distinct ideologies, election outcomes have significant societal impacts, making election result predictions crucial. This study aims to predict whether the Liberal Party will maintain its victory in the 2025 Canadian federal election using a multilevel regression model combined with post-stratification. The data for this research comes from the 2021 Canadian Election Study (CES) and the General Social Survey (GSS), with the cleaned datasets including variables such as age, gender, education, and province. Through the constructed multilevel logistic regression model and post-stratification adjustments, the results show that approximately 26.63% of Canadian citizens will vote for the Liberal Party in the next Canadian federal election. This prediction aligns with the hypothesis that the Liberal Party will not win the upcoming federal election. However, some variables in the model are not statistically significant, and the data is somewhat outdated. Future research should consider incorporating more variables and updated data.

ROS play an essential physiological roles in the cellular homoeostasis and cell signaling under normal circumstances. The overexpression of ROS  was involved in the pathological events of several diseases, including cardiovascular, because   they cause damage to many cell structures.This study aims to evaluate the levels of inflammatory biomarkers, [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β)]  in stable angina patients and their relationship with oxidative stress.  The current study is a case-control one performed on 88 patients with stable angina and 44 people as a control group attending the Nasiriyah Heart Center from August 2023 to March 2024. All cases were diagnosed by cardiologists and confirmed by laboratory investigations. Blood samples (10 ml) were collected from patients. Serum was isolated after centrifugation and stored at -20°C.  Serum CK-MB,  MYO and Trop I were determined by electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay. While, the ELISA was employed to assess the levels of human IL-6, human IL-1 β,  SOD, (GSH-Px/ GPX), total cholesterol,  triglycerides,  LDL, VLDL and HDL,  using the kits from Solarbio, China. The patients with stable angina didn’t show significant variation in the serum level of troponin I and CK-MB in comparison with control, while serum myoglobin level was significantly increased in patients with stable angina compared to control.  Although the level of total cholesterol was insignificantly increased, but the levels of triglyceride (TG),  VLDL-C and LDL-C were significantly increased, while the serum level of HDL-C was significantly declined in comparison with control.  The serum levels  IL-6 and IL-1β, in addition to activities of SOD and GPx were  increased significantly in patients of angina compared to control.  We could conclude that IL-1β, IL-6, SOD and GPx are increased in stable angina.  Inflammatory events and oxidative stress could play an important roles in initiation of atherosclerosis  and subsequent angina.

Authors: Al-Sarray Hayder Abdullah Kadhim
Published: October 2024

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common type of infection during pregnancy. UTI include a spectrum of disorders, ranging from those affecting the lower urinary tract, like asymptomatic bacteriuria and cystitis, to those affecting the kidney, such as pyelonephritis. In pregnancy UTI can lead to preterm labor, anemia and septicemia. Escherichia coli is the most common pathogenic microorganisms associated with UTI and counting up to 60–80% of all UTIs.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI) among pregnant women in wasit province.
Materials and Methods: Mid-stream urine samples from 100 pregnant women who attending to Al- Shaheed Fairuz hospital and private clinics in wasit province between the periods of March 2024 to July 2024 with the age range of (16-35) years. The urine samples were cultured on MacConkey and blood agars then examined by Macroscopic and Microscopic examination by Gram's stain. The colonies were examined by biochemical tests (Oxidase, catalase, manitol salt agar, novobiocin tests, IMViC) and confirmatory tests (API 20E and API Staph) for isolates.
Results: The results showed that the percentage of bacterial growth culture among the pregnant women was 33%. Gram negative bacteria were the higher percentage with (73%). Eschirishia coli bacteria were the most frequently isolated organism (40%) while, the lower percentage for Streptococcus spp. (3%). UTI in pregnant women was commonest in the age group 20-24 years (42%). According to trimesters of pregnancy, the highest percentage of UTI was in third trimester (43%) followed by second trimester (39%), while the the first trimest was the the lowest percentage with (18%).
Conclusions: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common during pregnancy. Untreated UTIs can lead to complications such as preterm labor, low birth weight and sepsis. E.coli is the predominant pathogen presently causing urinary tract infections at all stages of pregnancy. Urine culture and sensitivity tests are mandatory for all pregnant women during the different trimesters.

Published: October 2024

One of the most confusing conditions is autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), for which neither a precise cause nor a conclusive cure has yet been discovered. Autism can be defined as a disorder that typically manifests in children at a young age and affects many areas of their development. It develops in an abnormal way, exhibiting an unbalanced social interaction style marked by recurring behavioral patterns and difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication. The frequency of ASDs has dramatically increased over the past few decades, inspiring numerous researchers worldwide to investigate all facets of the condition, from origin to intervention and diagnosis. This study addresses ASDs, their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, modalities of therapy, and the counseling needs of Jordanian families. As one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, ASDs are characterized by stereotyped behaviors and poor social interaction. There is a significant and intricate genetic component to ASDs, with numerous patterns of familial inheritance and an estimated 1,000 potential genes. The past ten years have seen a rapid advancement in identifying the genes responsible for autism, thanks to genomic technologies. This study describes pharmaceutical treatments for the behavioral symptoms associated with ASDs in adolescents, children, and adults. The categories of symptoms include inattention and hyperactivity, social impairment, aggression, irritability, and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. Medications covered in the list include α-2 agonists, atomoxetine, mirtazapine, memantine, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs), and antipsychotics. In children with ASDs, SRIs are generally less effective and less tolerated compared to adults. The most effective medications for treating irritability in ASDs are antipsychotics, which can also help with other symptoms. While psychostimulants show promise when used to treat inattention and hyperactivity in individuals with ASDs, they are less effective and have more side effects compared to their use in individuals with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHDs). Although more research is needed, memantine and D-cycloserine appear to be beneficial in treating social impairment.

This paper explores the modification of the slit lamp, a vital ophthalmic instrument, by replacing the traditional halogen light source with a white laser. This modification aims to enhance the diagnostic capabilities and efficiency of the slit lamp. White laser technology offers superior brightness, intensity, and color accuracy, which improves the visibility and differentiation of ocular tissues. Additionally, white lasers are more energy-efficient, provide consistent light output, and require less maintenance. The redesign process includes adjustments to the optical system, incorporating specialized filters and lenses, and ensuring proper thermal management. The integration of a high-resolution digital camera system with white laser illumination further improves image quality and diagnostic precision. The study outlines the benefits, potential challenges, and implementation steps, concluding that the use of white lasers in slit lamps can significantly enhance the effectiveness of ocular diagnostics, benefiting both ophthalmologists and patients.

Especially transphincteric anorectal fistulas have shown to be complex with involvement of many anatomical structures and rather high recurrence rates. The need for modularity in the annular dissecting fistula as well as in the sphincteric functioning became pronounced in treatment for the disorder. This is done so that conditions such as fecal incontinence are not realized in the process of undergoing surgery. The patient was a 52-year-old man with many symptoms of the disease including transphincteric fistula with many openings internally or externally. An example of a patient suitable for using the new surgical method for assessment of the outcome would be a patient with no clinical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. This approach uses modern approaches in drainage together with the ancient Ayurveda technique of Kshara sutra technique in the treatment of the tissue in order to ensure that there is a constant drainage of the contents of the fistulous tract. Among all these techniques, methylene blue infiltration has been found quite helpful in identifying the fistula tract. These procedures are aimed at achieving maximum surgical effect which will minimize the possibility of the recurrence of the illness and enhance the muscular tone of the anal sphincter. The characteristics of the patient’s healing state also evolved in treatment: several changes were observed already on the 10th day after the operation. After the second month, the patient had no signs of the fistula tract any more: there were no recurrences or complications. Since there are neither other known influences that could significantly influence the general status of the patient, the presence of markers that could suggest how well the surgical intervention addressed the fistulas stresses the potential of the approach as a set of basic strategies for managing difficult fistulas. From the article, one may infer the important of precision and innovation in performing surgeries. Also, it has the potential to enhance patients’ outcome and exclude the factors of long-term adverse effects commonly seen in anorectal fistulas.

Lab coats are protective elements to people working in health care and researches that separates them from pollutants. However, if not properly used, it can be a source of multiple microbiological contaminations. This study was done at AL-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital-Baghdad, during from 15th November 2023 to 15th March 2024. It was designed to find the most common bacteria, fungi and yeasts that might be present on staff lab coats.  53 samples (106 swabs) were cultured after collected from the sleeves and pockets of staff Lab coats and observed the antimicrobial susceptibility in lab swabs culture for 14 isolates out of 106 swabs belonged to Gram positive bacteria and sensitivity patterns against 16 antimicrobials. Gram positive bacteria found to be the most common organisms in lab coats represented by Microbiology unit with 71.4%,  followed by Phlebotomy units 21.4% , which represented by Coagulase-negative Staphylococci(CoNS) Staphylococcus epidermidis (43.9%),Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Staphylococcus warneri (21.4% ,14.3%) respectively. , It turns out, higher bacteria growth in  female Lab coats )85.7%( than in male )14.3% (and in sleeves )15.1%( than in pockets(11.3%)  ,in addition , increased response to sensitivity test  for antibiotics , especially Tigecycline antibiotic 100% ,Gentamycin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Teicoplanin and Rifampicin (92.9%),as well  others but in varying degrees , and not any type of fungi were isolated. In conclusion, Gram positive bacteria population was the most common organisms, higher prevalence of microbial infection in female than in men and increased of antibiotic sensitivity specially Tigecycline antibiotic, however, should proper maintenance and educational practices must be applied to minimize contamination.

Numerous research have looked into the potential relationship between blood group systems and the severity of COVID-19, with varying degrees of success. However, depending on how common the Rh and ABO blood types are in a given community, their correlations with COVID-19 may also vary. Thus, in order to explore this relationship more thoroughly and give population-based data to the global scientific community, we carried out this study on Iraqi people. Methodology: Every patient who arrived at Al-Shatra General Hospital in the province of Thi-Qar between December 2022 and June 2023 had their data examined. One hundred participants, ranging in age from eighty to eighty, made up the study. Their hospital medical records were used to determine their ABO, Rh type, and COVID-19 positive. Result: The total number of patients was 100, and males constituted 56% of this population. Among the 100 patients, 19% were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus while 34% had hypertension. From the findings, it was noted that A+, B+, and O+ blood types had more occurrences of COVID-19 positive cases. Interestingly, the percentage of individuals testing positive for COVID-19 was higher at 58% among those with hypertension and lower at 42% among those with diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: The relationship between blood types and COVID-19 infection is a multifaceted dynamic that encompasses various factors, including comorbidities, age, sex, and the distribution of blood groups within a population. It has been observed that individuals with hypertension are more prone to experiencing elevated rates of COVID-19.
