One of the most opportunistic mycosis globally is Candida ssp., which considered as agent that cause nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs), oral candidiasis and genitourinary candidiasis. This study included 100 samples Iraqi subjects suffering from infections. Identification have been done by different methods such as; characteristic colony on culture, gram stain, microscopically. aimed t...

In order to compare the performance of leukocyte esterase and nitrite urine dipstick tests with enhanced urinalysis (uncentrifuged urine white blood cell count/mm(3) plus Gram stain) in detecting asymptomatic bacteriuria in obstetric patients, clean-catch midstream urine specimens were collected from 250 consecutive asymptomatic pregnant women. Ten of the women (4.0%) showed urine culture resul...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is a sexually transmitted pathogen that threatens reproductive health worldwide. This study aims to screen CT urogenital infection using cytology and molecular methods in women suffering infertility. Methods: In total, 415 infertility, attending Wad Madani Maternity Ho...

Diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia is complicated by the lack of a diagnostic reference standard that is highly sensitive and specific. Latent class analysis (LCA) is a mathematical technique that relates an unobserved ("latent") infection to multiple diagnostic test results by use of a statistical model. We used classical analysis and LCA to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of blood c...

Introduction: Away from diagnostic importance, urinary tract endoscopy is a painful, expensive and time consuming procedure. Now time, The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology (TPSRUC) has lead to prime changes in the perspective of assessment urine cytology pattern reporting. Our focus this study was evaluate impact implementing system reporting correlating with follow up histopathologi...

In this research work, for the first time, we have developed and demonstrated a COVID-19 repellent coating on cotton cloth that not only repels virus but also most of human body fluids (superhemophobic). The was tested in BSL3 lab. controlled experiments revealed no significant increase log viral particles coated fabric compared to uncoated surface, evidence resisted SARS-CoV-2 inoculum. Furthe...
