Background: The most severe form of nervous dysfunction among young individuals is Multiple sclerosis (MS). Symptoms usually appear at (15–40) years of age.MS is identified as an affective disorder in patients for a long time, characterized by current nervous system (NS) injury structure and rising accumulative damage.Recent years have seen a rise in the number of MS. This affects more than two million individuals every year in the world. Methods: Ethical approval for this study was granted by the Ethics Committee for the Medical Research/University of Mosul. This was a retrospective and a hospital-based study performed. In the latter, MS patients' medical records fulfilling the McDonald diagnostic criteria were analyzed, and both demographics and clinical characteristics were reviewed. We did exclude patients with neuromyelitis optica and isolated transverse myelitis. A retrospective study design was applied in Ibn-Sina Teaching Hospital, City of Mosul, Iraq. Results:This section summarizes the main findings of this research. Identified 500 patients who fulfilled our criteria for having MS. The crude estimated Prevalence of MS in the Mosul population was thus 50/100,000. The research population's demographic and clinical characteristics were identified and found a positive first or second-degree family history of MS at least 11.4% of Mosul patients. Conclusion:Based on the assumptions and previous studies that patients with multiple sclerosis in Mosul suffer from milder disease severity than those in western countries, it was surprising that half of the patients suffer from gait disability.
The present study focuses on evidence of varicose veins (VV) in subjects on different parameters like occupations, gender, and smoking habits etc. in the City of Mosul, Iraq. A quantitative study was performed at Mosul Teaching Hospital between November 2019 and February 2020. Total sample size was 1052 in numbers. Subjects were mainly among different occupations like Nurses, address, Policemen, and teachers. Selected subjects were physically examined on general parameters who agreed to engage in this study. The rate of overall VV prevalence among different occupational backgrounds in the City of Mosul was found to be 200/1052 (19%). It was observed that the percentage of men (49%) and women (51%) and the mean age of the participants was (39.1+3.1). The entire study analyses the effects of various parameters like obesity (BMI), gender, age, smoking habit, and alcohol consumption etc on prevalence of VV. Additionally study also concludes that more occupational standing which has significant contributions in prevalence of VV can be prevented by sitting or walking at frequent intervals whenever is appropriate. So, by improving clinical practices the incidences of vascular diseases may be reduced.
Background and aim: The Objectives of the present study to determine the VV among people with different background occupations in the City of Mosul, Iraq. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was performed at Mosul Teaching Hospital between November 2019 and February 2020. Two hundred people who were physically examined represented different jobs in Iraqi society (Nurses, address, Policemen, and teachers). A physical examination was conducted of all participants who agreed to engage in this study. Results: The overall prevalence rate of VV among different occupational backgrounds in the City of Mosul is 19.5%. The study found that the percentage of men (50.5%) and women (49.5%). Most of the patient was beyond to age group (41-45) years and the mean age of the participants was (39.1+3.1). According to the BMI, the results indicated that most subjects belong to a class<30 (77%). Conclusions: The nurses will seek to prevent excessive extended occupational standing and using sitting or walking when appropriate. As a result, an improvement in clinical practice may reduce the incidence of vascular disease. Keywords: Varicose, Veins, Occupational
