We report a novel frameshift β-thalassemia (β-thal) mutation due to a two-nucleotide deletion at codon 118 of the β-globin gene (: c.356_357delTT) in a 4-year-old Iraqi Kurd female presenting as transfusion-dependent β-thal. This frameshift mutation, unlike many others involving the third exon, behaved as a recessive β defect and not as dominant β-thal mutation.

Mandibular canal assessment in dentate and edentulous ridges of 400 Iraqi Arab and Kurdish populations using cone beam computed tomography.
Saudi Dent J
May 2024
School of Dental Sciences, Health Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian 16150, Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia.
Objectives: This study aims to compare differences in mandibular canal (MC) location between dentate and edentulous ridges, in the second premolar region as well as the first, second, and third molar regions using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of Arabic and Kurdish Iraqi populations.
Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 400 subjects (200 Arabs, 200 Kurds) were collected from radiological archives. RadiAnt DICOM software (Medixant, Poland) was used for image analyses.

Introduction: Nutritional problems in children cause major morbidity and mortality in the world. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of under six years old children in Kalar city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.
Methods: In this longitudinal study, data from 403 Iraqi Kurdish children aged 0-72 months and their mothers were extracted from Health Centre in Kalar city undertaken between 2013 and 2019.
The posttraumatic stress interview for children (KID-PIN): development and validation of a semi-structured interview of PTSD symptoms among displaced children in the Middle East.

Department of Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Bielefeld University, Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Background: In populations affected by mass disaster such as armed conflict and displacement, children are at risk of developing mental ill-health, in particular post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Valid and reliable screening instruments are needed to assess the severity of PTSD symptoms among children and to identify individuals in need of treatment.
Method: In the context of an ongoing war in the Middle East, we developed the KID-PIN as a semi-structured interview for PTSD symptoms that can be administered by trained paraprofessionals.

While the factor structure of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms has been investigated among various traumatized populations in Western and high-income countries, knowledge regarding the validity of factor structure of PTSD among culturally diverse populations in low-and-middle-income countries is limited. The current study examined the factor structure and cultural invariance of PTSD in 521 Iraqi and 993 Syrian war-affected displaced people who were living in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Results from confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that alternative factor models for PTSD, including a new model derived from this population (anhedonia and affect model) resulted in a better fit than the current DSM V models.
