Heavy Metal Toxicity and its Effect on Living Organisms: A Review in Toxicology Study
The pollution chain of heavy metals, such as industry, climate, soil, water, food and humans, nearly always assumes cyclical order in the climate. It is clear that the harmful consequences are caused by prolonged exposure to metalloids and heavy metals at minimum doses. It has been proven that heavy metals are harmful for environmental and human. Strong toxicity of a metal is recognized with a significant hazard and it is associated with many health hazards. They also antagonism component of the body, but metabolic activities can interact with metabolic processes at some times. By reduction exercises, few metals, such as aluminum, can be eliminated.
Anatomical Study and Antimicrobial Activities of Ammimajus
Ammimajus is a plant species in the family Apiaceae, The purpose of this study was to assess anatomical and antibacterial and antifungal activities of Ammimajus, which taken from collage of Sciences/Salaheddin University/Erbil. Anatomical studies by the using paraffin method, have shown that the outline of stems, petiole lamina, and margin, they contain secretary canals with presence unicellular glandular and unicellular non glandular trichomes. The antimicrobial activity prepared by extract using ethanol (95%) method from stem, leaf and flower, then provide the different concentration of extract, which shown the exhibit antibacterial effects on some microorganisms as Staphylococcus aureus,Acinetobacterbaumannii, Pseudomonasaeruginosa and Candida albicans.
Novel Approach in Hypertension Management: A Review on Current Technologies
Systemic hypertension is the largest causes of morbidity and mortality in the world and is one of main causes that leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Less than half of hypertensive patients are aware of their condition, despite it is currently undertreated, but the control of high blood pressure is successful. This will reduce the global burden of illness and death. The etiology of hypertension includes a genetic predisposition and a complex interaction of pathophysiological, genetic and environmental factors. Hypertensive patient needs to measurement of blood pressure (BP), studying of expected risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and other organ damage, or knowing of secondary reasons for hypertension. Lifestyle changes are effective in lowering blood pressure and stopping the consequences of hypertension and CVD, along with dietary adjustments and increased physical activity. Pharmacological treatment are efficient in controlling blood pressure and stopping the consequences of cardiovascular disease in the elderly patients. The first-line antihypertensive drugs consists of ACE inhibitor (angiotensin converting enzyme), angiotensin II receptor blocker, dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and thiazide diuretic.
A Systemic Review of Trichomonas Vaginalis in Iraq
Systemic Trichomonas vaginalis is a single celled parasitic protozoan that’s moved by flagella (possess 5 flagella) and its habitat urogenital tract of both sex (female and male) and attached to the vaginal epithelium. It causes vaginitis in female and urethritis in men. This articles deals with the review for the epidemiological studies of this parasitic among different Iraqi province. For this purpose, several studies on Trichomonas vaginalis were collected among different governorates to determine and interpret the infection rates by this parasite. Sources of references including Iraqi academic and scientific journals, journal of Karbala university, International journal of advance research and European Scientific Journal. Research article related to the prevalence of T. vaginals among Iraqi people in period from (2013-2017) from different governorates of Iraq were studied in different cities and villages with different geographic distribution. Results of data analysis reveals the highest rate of infection by this parasite was in Baghdad (85.5%) during 2016 while lowest percentage of infection was (3.1%) in Erbil during 2015. It had concluded that geographical location of Iraqi governorates, population density, Tourist cities, industrial cities, education levels, personal hygiene, variation in the number of both gender throughout the Iraqi governorates and types of parasite diagnostic techniques having a basic role in the determination of the prevalence of the trichomoniasis in Iraq.
