In Iraq, sheep play an important role in supplying the local market’s requirements for milk and meat. The objective of this study, 117 milk samples collected from Awassi ewes put to sale in the animal sales yard in Al-Qasim District from Babylon Governorate during four weeks on December 2023. The udder and milk inspection by visual examination and indicator papers (BOVIVET) for detection of mastitis. Consequently, cultured mastitis milk sample on HiCrome™ Klebsiella Selective Agar Base for isolation and easy detection of Klebsiella spp and phenotypic detection of Escherichia coli (EC) on MacConkey agar. Consequently, Staphylococcus aureus is isolation by inoculating on Mannitol salt Agar, and confirmed by the Vitek2 system, then antibiotic resistance characteristics are studied by the Kirby-Bauer technique on Muller Hinton agar. The results showed phenotypic detection of 24(20.5%) mastitis milk sample out 117 milk samples and isolation of Klebsiella spp 5(20.8), Escherichia coli 7(29.1) and Staphylococcus aureus 12 (50%) then studying the characteristics of microbial resistance to Staphylococcus aureus isolates , it was shown that it possesses resistance to Ciprofloxacin 3(25%), Ampicillin 7(58.3%), Gentamycin 3(25%), Streptomycin 2 (16.6%), Amikacin 3(25%), Doxycycline 5(41.6%), Cefaxitin 2(16.6%), Ceftazidime 2(16.6%), Ceftazidime 2(16.6%) and Erthromycin 2(16.6%). In conclusion, data showed there are many causes of mastitis in sheep, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is still the most common cause among other causes, and the most important thing is that it acquires resistance due to mismanagement and indiscriminate use of veterinary medicines. Therefore, we recommend periodic follow-up of sheep, giving necessary vaccines, and educating farmers to limit the spread of diseases that effects animal and human health and cause significant economic losses.

Due to the widespread use of pesticides in agriculture and other contexts, human exposure to them persists. Despite premarket animal testing, epidemiologic studies show that current exposures are linked to dangers to the well-being of people. Within this analysis, we outline the current pathways for pesticide exposure and provide an overview and assessment of the epidemiologic research on adult neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity associated with pesticides. Assessing the hazards that pesticides bring to human health will be improved by a deeper comprehension of exposure patterns, the underlying diversity among people, and the connections between animals' toxicological data and their effects on human health. Public health policymakers will be able to evaluate the risks of exposure to pesticides to human health more precisely if epidemiological studies are improved and combined with toxicology data.

The process of collecting and identifying Staphylococcus aureus bacteria from nasal swab samples obtained from 20 horses at the Equestrian Club in Baghdad Governorate and the Horse Recreation Club in Babylon Governorate was conducted between October 2022 and March 2023. Identification of the isolates was carried out by observing colony morphology on various bacterial media, performing gram staining, and conducting biochemical tests, notably the catalase test. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was also performed to determine the resistance profile of S. aureus. Out of the total nasal swab samples collected, S. aureus was detected in 12%, while other types of bacteria accounted for 8% of the samples. Confirmation of Staphylococcus samples was achieved through Gram staining and culturing on selective medium, such as Mannitol Salt Agar, which produced characteristic yellow colonies. Additionally, the catalase test yielded positive results, indicated by the production of bubbles, confirming the presence of the catalase enzyme. To assess the virulence factors and pathogenicity of the bacteria, they were cultured on Gonco Red Agar medium to evaluate biofilm formation, resulting in a positive outcome. Susceptibility testing revealed varying degrees of susceptibility among S. aureus strains to antimicrobial agents, with Ciprofloxacin (34%), Trimethoprim (20%), Amikacin (11%), and Tobramycin (18%) showing effectiveness. Conversely, S. aureus exhibited 100% resistance to Gentamicin and Ampicillin.

The main objective of current research was to investigate toxicity effect of Monosodium glutamate and protective role of Curcumin on some blood biochemical parameters, body weight gain, relative organ weight and histopathological alterations in liver and kidney tissues in male albino rats. Twenty animals of male rats (Rattus norvegicus), their weight ranged from 111 to 165 gm. The animals were divided into four groups: Each animal group contained five rat, first group was control negative (-ve) administrated distilled water, the second group was control positive (+ve) administrated curcumin, third group was administrated by Monosodium glutamate (MSG) at dose 20 mg per one Kg and the forth group was administrated by Monosodium glutamate (MSG) at dose 20mg/Kg of body weight + curcumin at dose 100 mg per one Kg of body weight. All animal groups were administrated orally about 30 days. The study recorded significant p≥0.05 increment in liver and kidney function parameters included [Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Urea and creatinine] after oral administration of animals with MSG and MSG + Curcumin as a comparison with control groups. The study recorded significant decrement p≥0.05 in liver and kidney function parameters included ALT, AST, Urea and creatinine) in group was administrated MSG + Curcumin in comparison with group was administrated MSG only. Additionally, current study revealed histopathological changes in liver and kidney tissue in groups were administrated MSG and MSG+ curcumin compared with + curcumin compared with control groups. Furthermore, the study revealed that curcumin had protective effect and result in slight histopathological changes in liver and kidney tissue by reducing the damage and in group was treated by MSG+ curcumin for 30 days compared with MSG treated group.

The genus Cuosinia Cass. is among the most common genera within the Asteraceae family. This genus contains an approximate range of 500 to 600 taxa. Pollen morphology analysis has proven to be a significant tool in the categorization of the Asteraceae, in addition to helping in the classification of specific genera and species under the family. An extensive examination of the pollen morphological features of six species belonging to the Cuosinia genus was carried out using both light and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen features that are beneficial for distinguishing various species of Cousinia based on characteristics instance form, dimension of the polar diameter and equatorial diameter, polar to equatorial axis ratio (P/E), exine thickness, sculpturing, and quantity of verrucae. Examination using light microscopy revealed that pollen grains were monads, tricolporate, isopolar, prolate-spheroidal, prolate, Sub-prolate. Using scanning electron microscopy, we categorized the pollen grains into three groups based on their exine ornamentation: group I (densely verrucate), group II (verrucate), and group III (loosely verrucate). Micrographs illustrating the morphology of pollen grains are accompanied by comprehensive descriptions of their structural characteristics. The pollen traits, such as morphology, exine thickness, and surfaces sculpturing, were found to be highly useful for classifying purposes.

Since there is currently no ideal treatment, wound healing impairment is a significant clinical challenge that is the subject of ongoing research into effective wound healing strategies. As a result, it has been demonstrated that low level laser therapy (LLLT), which is used for wound healing, can effectively control both the local and the systemic response. This study was conducted on 24 adult, clinically healthy male rabbits for this purpose. On each animal's back, full-thickness excisional wounds measuring 2 cm x 2 cm were created following sterile skin preparation. The animals were randomly split into two equal groups, each with twelve rabbits. In the group that acts as a control; 5 milliliters of phosphate-buffered saline was used to treat wounds. In the group treated; for the first seven days, the wounds were only treated with (LLLT) at a rate of 5/5 second at 8j/cm2. At the seventh, fourteenth, and 35th days of healing, histopathological biopsies were performed. The control group's histopathology revealed hemorrhage with inflammatory cell infiltration, primarily neutrophils, and congested blood vessels in the gap seven days after surgery. Necrotized neutrophils, hemolysis, and granulation tissue under the dermis were present in the gap at fourteen days. Between the muscle fibers, there was hemolysis. At 35 days, there was irregular proliferation of fibrous connective tissue, and congested blood vessels with mononuclear cell infiltration could be seen in the gap. At seven days, the treated group has completely sloughed the epidermis and a thin crust on the skin's surface with a small incision. In the dermis, there is a lot of infiltration of inflammatory cells, mostly lymphocytes and macrophages. There is also a lot of granulation tissue and a lot of adipose tissue with a lot of thick collagen network. At fourteen days, the epidermis' epithelial layers have healed completely and a keratinized layer is present. In the dermis, a proliferating and thick collagen network, scattered inflammatory cells, and regular fibrosis with hemorrhage and the development of a new B.V. At day 35, look for narrow scar tissue with complete epithelization, a keratinized layer above the epidermis, new vascularization with a lot of regular fibrosis and few regular collagen, new hair follicles, new blood vessels, and scattered macrophages. We concluded that full-thickness wound healing is positively influenced by the use of low level laser therapy (LLLT), which creates a microenvironment favorable to cell growth and differentiation.
