There was significant difference between genders and H. pylori infection (P<0.05). From the 176 patients attending private laboratories in Kirkuk city for the period from 1/8/2016 to 1/4/2017, 86(48.86%) belonged to blood group O, 42(23.86%) to A, 41(23.29%) to B and 7 (3.97%) to AB and There was statistically significant difference (P<0.05) in the incidence of H. pylori infection between these groups, there was significant correlation between the presence of particular blood group in H. pylori positive patients related to the reported frequency of the blood groups in Kirkuk population, the correlation between the Rh factor and positive H. pylori patients was not significant to the frequency of the Rh factor in the population (88.06% Rh+ and 11.93% Rh-). the H. pylori positive test was slightly, but not significantly lower in comparison with the negitive H. pylori patients test values showed a highly significant difference (P<0.01) in H. pylori posative and H. pylori negitive patients., in adults H. pylori infection depend upon gender, blood groups but they do not depend upon the Patients age or Rh factore.

Tanjero river represents a permanent river located southwest of Sulaimani city about 7km. Qiliasan and Kani-Ban streams confluence to form Tanjero river near Kani-Goma village. Water samples were collected from fifteen sites along the Tanjero river during June 2007 up to January 2008 and analyzed for studying some physico-chemical properties and heavy metals contaminations. The total hardness values recorded in the studied sites were ranged (204.96-388.06)mg/L.The values of (8-33.1) ºC, (1.08-496) NTU were recorded for temperature and turbidity respectively, while the values of (0.64-9.19) mg / L, (7.26-8.64) and (362-1715) µS.Cm-1 were recorded for dissolved oxygen (DO), pH and specific conductance. The values of Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr) ,Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn) and Nickel (Ni), concentration were ranged between, (1.80 to 2.39), (0.2 to 3.31) , (2.13 to 2.55), (0.08 to 3.29) ,and (0.51 to 1.72) mg/L respectively. The result indicates significant differences (P≥ 0.05) for the sampling events with LSD (Least Significant Differences) value of 0.01 for Co Fe, and Ni, while 0.03 and, 0.06 for Cr and Mn respectively. The Copper(Cu) concentration in all studied water samples was within the acceptable levels which ranged (0.11 to 0.51) mg/L. Tanjero river and tributaries were polluted with heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Ni, and Cr) resulted from the impact of sewage wastewater according to water quality standard EU, 2004; USEPA, 2005; Canada, 2005 and WHO, 2006 and should Construct a plant of treatment for treating sewage wastewater of Sulaimani city before direct discharge to the river and it is quite essential to treat the ground water of the studied area before using .
We set out to estimate the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the indigenous Melanesian population of Vanuatu by administering a 50 g oral glucose load to 120 women attending antenatal clinics at Vila Central Hospital, Efate, Vanuatu. Capillary blood glucose was measured 60 min later, and participants with a reading >7.8 mmol/l (140 mg/dl) were referred for further investigation to the local consultant obstetrician. Nine women (7.5%) had blood glucose readings of >7.8 mmol/l. Of the known risk factors for GDM, age was significantly higher in the group with abnormal 1 h readings. This screening method suggests that the incidence of GDM in the indigenous Melanesian population of Vanuatu is lower than that of Melanesians living in Western environments, although our findings may be attributable to differences in the glucose loading test used and the sampling technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
