Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive leukaemia characterised by uncontrolled blast cell proliferation. miRNAs and Clusters of Differentiation (CD) molecules play essential roles in AML progression. This study aims to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on the expression of circulating miRNA and CD molecules in AML. This cross-sectional stu...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators in Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML, affecting gene expression, including that of CD markers and impacting mutations within leukemic cells. Mutations in AML can alter miRNA profiles, which can affect the expression of CD markers and contribute to disease progression by influencing cellular processes such as different...

Despite advancements in treatment and detection, cancer remains one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Conventional chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat cancer have non-specific toxicity toward normal body cells, which leads to several adverse effects. Second, malignancies are known to develop resistance to chemotherapy over time. As a r...

Background: The secondary infection of multi and extensively drug-resistant "Acinetobacter baumannii" in severely ill COVID-19 individuals is usually associated with extended hospitalisation and a high mortality rate. The current study aimed to assess the exact incidence rate of A. baumannii coinfection in severely ill COVID-19 patients admitted t...

تعنى هذه الدراسة بعزل وتعريف الزائفة الزنجارية من الحالات السريرية المختلفة لدى الإنسان والتي تشمل (الحروق والجروح والبول) التي أدخلت إلى مستشفى الطوارئ والمختبر الداخلي للمستشفى التعليمي في مدينة أربيل. تم التعرف على أربعين عزلة من P. aeruginosa من أصل 120 عينة باستخدام اختبارات مثقف ومورفولوجي وكيميائي حيوي بالإضافة إلى آلة vitek. تم استخدام اختب...

This paper concerned with the identification of S .aureus and detection of tet (k) gene using PCR technique .A total of fifty samples were collected from different clinical sources: 20 from burns, (10) surgical wounds, (10) dental carries, and (10) urine samples from patients who were admitted to West Erbil Emergency and Rizgary teaching Hospitals...

Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of urinary tract infections associated with catheters. Biofilm is a community of microbial cells attached to a surface and is embedded in the extracellular polymeric substances. Catheters were collected from 157 patients; S. aureus was identified by molecular and conventional microbiological methods. S. aureu...

A collective of 1178 different isolates were performed and identified from clinical specimens of human patients and these sources include urine (n=641), swab (n=483), wound (n=29) and blood (n=25). A present study were confirmed on antibiotic resistance against some pathogenic bacterial genera (n=1178) which include Escherichia coli (n=417), Staphy...

During the period of 20th of May to1st of November 2013, twenty five isolatesof E. coliO157:H7 were identified among 200 samples taken from children under ten years oldsuffer from diarrhea (68 males and 132 females) admitted to Rapareen Pediatric hospitalsin Erbil City. Isolates were identified from stool sample by using cultural, morphological,bio...

Many studies have investigated the antimicrobial activity of different plant species in various geographical regions in search for new antibiotics. This study investigated the antibacterial property of five aqueous extracts against four pathogenic bacteria (E. coli ATCC, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis and P. aeruginosa ATCC). The results revealed that...

The problem of antibiotic resistance has become increased in recent years. The present study investigated the antibacterial activity of aqueous extract of Rhus coriaria against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that S. aureus was multi-drug resistant where it was resistant to nine antimicrobials (AMC, CFM, CTR, DA, OB,...
