Seroprevalence and detection of and in humans by indirect immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in Baghdad.

The present study was conducted from December 2021 to April 2023 at the College of Health and Medical Technologies, Al-Bayan University, in Baghdad province, Iraq, to detect infection in humans by serological methods. Field studies were conducted using 1,500 sera samples from hospitals and private medical laboratories. The sera samples were separated and examined by indirect immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to serologically detect infection.

5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine induces telomere dysfunction in breast cancer cells.

Aims: Azacitidine, a drug that epigenetically modifies DNA, is widely used to treat haematological malignancies. However, at low doses, it demethylates DNA, and as a result, can alter gene expression. In our previous publication, we showed that low doses of azacitidine induce telomere length elongation in breast cancer cells.

Burden of cardiovascular disease attributable to particulate matter pollution in the eastern Mediterranean region: analysis of the 1990-2019 global burden of disease.

Aims: Particulate matter pollution is the most important environmental mediator of global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Air pollution evidence from the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is limited, owing to scarce local studies, and the omission from multinational studies. We sought to investigate trends of particulate matter (PM2.

Effect of the combined zirconium dioxide surface treatment on the shear bond strength of a veneering ceramic to zirconium dioxide.

Background: Yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) is used as a core material in all-ceramic restorations. The delamination and chipping of a veneering ceramic are the most common complications in the case of zirconia-based restorations.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the combined treatment of the zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) surface (airborne-particle abrasion with liner application) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a veneering ceramic.

Perspectives of Pharmacy Graduates Toward an Undergraduate Ethics Course and Its Potential Impact on Their Professional Practice.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to gauge the opinions and attitudes of pharmacy graduates toward an undergraduate ethics course they received and to explore if the ethics course was relevant to their practice.

Sample And Methods: This online questionnaire-based study involved pharmacy college graduates (alumni) who, at the time of the study, were practicing in different practice settings and who had all graduated from the same college of pharmacy in Qatar. An online questionnaire comprising 27 items related to attitudes, perceptions, and impact of the undergraduate ethics course on professional practice was distributed through email to all eligible alumni.
