Background: One of the most common and potentially fatal pathogens is resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When choosing an effective medication for the management of staphylococcal infections, knowledge of the regional isolates’ pattern of antimicrobial sensitivity is fundamental. Aim: Our study aimed at identifying the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of S. aureus based on samples collected at an Iraqi teaching hospital. Continue reading

Background: One effective second-generation triptan for migraine attacks is sumatriptan. Following oral use, it has a 40% restricted bioavailability because of the first-pass metabolism. Aim: To develop the best intranasal Solusomes formula as a substitute that delivers into the brain directly, improving its bioavailability, and removing the first-pass outcome was the aim of this effort. Continue reading

Background: Self-medication is one of the irrational drugs used; it is defined as using medicines to treat self-diagnosed diseases without consulting a healthcare professional. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are groups of analgesic medications that are used by millions of people around the world with or without prescription. Inappropriate self-medication can have several potential risks, such as harmful interactions with prescribed medicines and inappropriate duration of use. Continue reading

Children are more prone to develop gingivitis as a result of poor brushing and flossing proficiency, a lack of dedication to maintaining excellent oral hygiene, morphological variance in deciduous teeth, and a diet that encourages the growth of pathogenic oral bacteria. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the therapeutic effect of a Salvia officinalis (Common Sage) extract mouth rinse related to that of Chlorhexidine mouth rinse, as well as the pediatric patient’s tolerance to their taste. Continue reading

Cryptococcus neoformans is a significant pathogenic yeast that causes severe infections in immuno­compromised individuals, such as those with respiratory diseases, cancer, kidney failure, and meningitis. Early diag­nosis and treatment are crucial in managing the infections. The study was conducted at Al-Batoul Hospital and Baqubah Teaching Hospital to isolate and diagnose Cryptococcus neoformans and assess potential antifungal treat­ments Continue reading

Medical statistics confirm that an increase in the likelihood of high blood pressure in individuals leads to a range of complications such as heart failure, stroke, or kidney failure, while a decrease can result in cell damage, particularly to the brain, due to inadequate oxygen and nutrient supply to tissues. Given this context, the research problem revolves around examining the impact of treatment and age on patients with varying blood pressure levels. Continue reading

Background: Amoebiasis, an intestinal infection caused by the parasitic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica, presents varying symptoms from none to severe. Traditional non-herbal treatments often carry adverse effects, prompting interest in herbal remedies. Aim: This study evaluates the effectiveness of Tamarindus indica (T. indica) and Cynodon dactylon (C. dactylon) extracts against E. histolytica. Continue reading

Co-crystallisation is a useful technique that can be used to improve important physicochemical properties of drugs that have solubility troubles, without any chemical modification. Aim: This study investigates the co-crystallization of the poorly soluble drug famotidine (FMT) with either nicotinamide (NIC) or urea as co-formers. Methodology: The method employed for preparation was solvent evaporation at a predetermined stoichiometric ratio. Continue reading
