Title : Non-pharmacological coping skills for Labor: A comparative study

Abstract : Rhythmic breathing is one non-pharmacological method women are using to cope with labor pains. A quasi-experimental trial was utilized to compare the effect of cleansing vs. light breathing on labor pains. The study was conducted on a labor ward of a privet hospital with uniform active labor management. Fifty participants enrolled in this study according to certain inclusion criteria. Labor pains are assessed by a visual analog scale. There was a significant difference between both the cleansing breathing group and the light breathing group in relation to mean VAS after using the rhythmic breathing were P = .013 to the favor of the cleansing breathing. From the study results, it can be concluded that labor pains can be greatly minimized with any of the rhythmic breathing management techniques with many references to the cleansing breathing as being more effective than light breathing in reducing labor pains among primiparous women.

Title : SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE SELF-EFFICACY OF DOCTORS

Abstract : The current research aims to identify the relationship between knowledge sharing and self-efficacy among a sample of doctors working at Al-Zahraa Teaching Hospital for maternity and child health / Najaf Governorate / Iraq, the sample was about 93 doctors, (41) male (52), female. They were grouped in this study according to their scientific degree to residents (36), specialists (47) and consultants (10). To measure the research variables, the scale prepared by De Vries, Den Hooff & De Ridder (2006) was used. Knowledge sharing measurement and its psychometric properties were then calculated. The reliability of the Cronbach method was (0.74), and the reliability of the self-efficacy scale prepared by Turan et al. (2013) was (0.84). The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the sharing of knowledge and self-efficacy of the doctors of all study groups.

Title : Yield of Total RNA and cDNA from the Heart Tissue of Wister Rats at Different Post Mortem Intervals

Abstract : One of the important forensic pathology aspects is the establishment of the time since a death has occurred i.e. post-mortem interval (PMI). It gives the police a start to their investigation and help in dealing more professionally with the evidence available. The objective of the present was just to measure the yield of total RNA and cDNA at different post mortem intervals using most RNA extraction techniques in the heart tissue of Wister rats. A total of 36 female Wister rats (250–300 g, aged 12 weeks) were included in this study, with the exclusion of male rats. The standard and recommended laboratory conditions were provided to the animals. The autopsy of heart tissue was taken at 0, 16, 24, 30, 42 and 48 hours’ time. Total RNA yield was measured by Nanodrop and cDNA through real-time PCR. From the findings of the present study, we can conclude that post mortem heart tissue gives an acceptable yield of RNA and cDNA for further downstream applications.

Title : Role of Palliative Care at The End of Life: To Enhance the Quality of Life and Positively Influence the Course of Illness

Abstract : Palliative care goal is to relieve the patients suffering and their families by assessment of comprehensive and treatment of physical, psychosocial and spiritual symptoms felled by patients. It helps patient and their relatives to conclude suitable medical care and to support goal of patient care with health care professionals. Finally, palliative care establishing the requirement of proxy, resuscitation status and advance directives is an essential part of palliative care at the end of life. The aim of this review is to recognize role of palliative care at the end of life. As death approaches, the symptom burden of a patient may worsen and require more aggressive palliation. As ease measures strengthen, so does the care provided to a dying patient's family. Once death has occurred, the role of palliative care focuses primarily on the support of the patient's family and bereavement.

Title : Fracture Resistance of Posterior Occlusal Veneers Fabricated from Different Types of Computer-aided Design/Computer-aided Manufacturing Materials (An in Vitro Study)

Abstract : The full mouth rehabilitation of the severely worn dentition is a difficult treatment; occlusal veneers represent an associate choice to ancient treatment ideas. Aims at replacing the lost tooth substance while not the extra removal of remaining tooth substance. Forty human premolars were prepared to simulate advanced erosion of the occlusal surface, and at random divided into four experimental groups (n=10) according to the material used to build the veneers. The veneers were adhesively luted and submitted to thermocycling device. The fracture resistance test was performed on a universal testing machine. Failure analysis of the fractured occlusal veneer in this study showed mainly fracture of mode I fracture of the restoration (75%) followed by Mode II, fracture of the restoration and enamel (12.5%); or Mode III, fracture of the restoration, enamel, and dentin (12.5%). According to a one-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference test, the highest mean fracture resistance was obtained from IPS Emax CAD and was significantly higher compared to the other experimental groups. The lowest mean fracture resistance was obtained from Tetric CAD. All occlusal veneers used in this study can be considered as acceptable treatment in the premolar region for patients with parafunctional habits. minimally invasive occlusal veneers can be applied to correct tooth wear and thus replace conventional crown restorations.
