Background and Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is exceedingly widespread disease with the highest prevalence in the Middle East countries. Co-existing psychological symptoms affect glycemic control and considered as an important problem in achieving target. The objective of this study was to determine the percentage of depressive and anxiety symptoms among diabetes patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 300 adult patients with type 2 diabetes who attended Primary Health Care centers in Erbil City during the period from the 1st of July 2016 to the end of 28th of June 2017. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-5 questionnaires has been used as diagnostic tools for depression and anxiety. The glycemic control measured using glycated hemoglobin A1C.
Results: The mean age SD of the sample was 54.79 9.16 years, ranging from 40 to 75 years, the median was 54 years and considerable proportion (44.7%) were of low socio-economic status (SES). Only one quarter of the patients are highly adherent to the treatment. 52.3% of the patients were complaining from anxiety whether mild (28%), moderate (23.3%) or severe (1%). Regarding depression, 58.7% had had depression of different severity. No significant association was detected between anxiety and depression with diabetes control as assessed by glycated hemoglobin A1C (p = 0.932) and (p = 0.220) respectively. The prevalence of depression among those who follow a healthy diet (53.6%) and who practice physical activity (41.4%) was significantly less (p = 0.024).

Published: April 2023

Introduction: The severity of chronic renal failure (CRF) classified by professional guidelines in five stages, stage 5 is a severe illness often called end stage kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD), dialysis may be used for this stage. Dialysis treatments replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal). Hemodialysis, is a process of purifying the blood, when the kidneys are not working normally. It is one of three renal replacement therapies (the other two being peritoneal dialysis and renal transplant).
Materials and Methods: The samples of this study consists of 80 patients (42 males, 38 females) and 85 healthy individuals (43 males, 42 females) from (20 - 70) years old of age. Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1), `5-nucleatidase, blood urea ( BU), serum creatinine Cr, serum iron (Fe), serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC), Serum feritin, serum amylase activity and serum lipase activity were determined. Some hematological parameters includes packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells count (WBCs), red blood cell count (RBCs) were measured, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Body mass index (BMI) and creatinine clearance Ccl were also measured.
Results: Decreased levels of some enzymes activity and some biochemical and hematological parameters and increased others in continuous and regular hemodialysis patients in Kirkuk city. Blood urea and serum creatinine showed significant increased (P˂0.05) in their levels, while the creatinine clearance was significantly decreased (P˂0.05) in patients with continuous hemodialysis patients when compared to those of controls. In the present study; there was significant decreased (P˂0.05) in PON-1 in patients when compared to those of controls. However, the serum`5-NT, amylase and lipase activities were significantly increased (P ˂ 0.05) in these patients when compared with serum of normal individuals. In the present study; there was significant decreased in Fe and TIBC concentrations in the serum of patients when compared to those of healthy control individuals (P˂0.05). While the serum ferritin was significantly increased (P˂0.05) in these patients as compared to the controls. In the present study; there was significant decreased (P ˂ 0.05) in Hb and PCV and RBCs concentrations inthese patients when compared to those of controls. While WBCs and ESR was significantly increased (P˂0.05) in these patients as compared to the controls.

Evaluation of Lipid Profile changes in children with urinary tract infections
Authors: Ammar Lateef Hussein  
Published: April 2023

Back ground: many researches about urinary tract infection has been conducted on adults but very little has been done on children. Therefore, this research is novel in Salahaddin city-Iraq.
Urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection that affects part of the urinary tract. It affects the lower urinary tract as well as upper urinary tract. It is characterized by painful urination, urge to urinate or sometimes frequent urination. Other symptoms include fever in addition to flank pains.
Bacteria infections cause a variety of changes in lipid profile concentrations by generating free radicals. Free radicals are reactive species generated by biochemical redox interactions that occur as a part of normal cell metabolism. These free radicals may cause lipid peroxidation and damage cellular structures of organism particularly erythrocytes and endothelium. Lipid peroxidation are free radicals mediated chain of reaction that, once initiated, results in oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated lipids. The most common goal are components of biological membrane. When propagated in biological membranes, these reaction can be initiated or enhanced by a number of toxic products, including endoperoxides and aldehydes.
Aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate the lipid profile of the children in acute phase of urinary tract infections.
Methodology: Case-control study was designed to evaluate the lipid profile change in children with lower UTI. The study was performed on 130 children with ages between (4 – 12) years, 90 children with lower UTI (34.4% male) and (65.6% female,) and 40 control (45.0% male) and (55.0% female) in pediatric department of Salahaddin Teaching hospital from May 2017 till October 2017. The data were analyzed through the SPSS V.23 application, descriptive data analysis was done through frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation in addition to T-test to compare results.
Results: The results showed there was a significant decreased in the levels of Cholesterol, LDL, and HDL when compared to control group (144.02±17.69, 75.76±12.695, and 44.66±8.742 vs 167.65±13.13, 89.73±13.45, and 60.95±6.26 respectively), while there were a significant increase in triglycerides and VLDL in study group when compared to control group (118.03±18.66, and 23.56±3.76 vs 85.95±10.25, and 17.28±2.063 respectively).
Conclusion: These observation shows that low levels of lipid, particularly total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and increased triglycerides (TG) probably be
