Original Research
Aims: To isolate and identify the causative agents for chronic osteomyelitis in patients and understanding their virulence factors for identification of targets for novel drugs and design of new vaccines. Study Design: samples of swab and bone tissues biopsy from chronic osteomylitis patients were collected in order to study the infectious agents by investigating their virulence factors. Place and Duration of study: Twenty five specimens of osteomyelitis were collected from chronic osteomyelitis patients at Surgical Specialist Hospital, Al-Yarmook Teaching Hospital and Baghdad Teaching Hospital during June 2010 to May 2011. Methodology: a form was designed to be filled by each patient, which included information about their age, sex, duration of infection, infection site. Specimens were collected using a sterile cotton swab and bunch of biopsy. The pus was taken before the surgery by swabbing an open infected area and from the deeper part of the infected bone, while, biopsies were taken from osteomyelitis patients during surgical management at the operation theater. Results: from fifty swab and twenty-five bone tissue biopsy samples, the results showed high prevalence of osteomyelitis in male patients with 84% (21), and 16% (4) in females. It was found that chronic osteomyelitis has a high prevalence among males with 84%, and the highest incidence was recorded at the age group of 30-39 years. Cultural, microscopic examination and bioc-hemical characterization of both swab and biopsy specimens, showed that 50% of the isolates were Staphylococcus aureus, 26% Enterobacter cloacae, 14% Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 6% Escherichia coli, and 4% Klebseilla sp. From the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test using different (11) antibiotic discs against S. aureus, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E.coli, and Klebsiella sp. six isolates of S. aureus were selected and designated as (S1, S3, S4, S7) which showed multiple resistances to antibiotics. Conclusion: It was found that multiple resistances S. aureus isolates were able to produce haemolysin enzyme, capsules, slime layer, biofilm and hyaluronidase enzyme.how many guys cheat

Case Report
2 cases of Gossypiboma also called Textiloma or Gauzeoma are presented with the attendant management challenges. One of them presented with an intra peritoneal abscess and a fistula necessitating a 2 staged bowel resection and colostomy then closure while the other simulated a complete intra luminal colonic tumor with sub acute intestinal obstruction. Despite the serious medico-legal and psychological issues involved the patients were duly informed. The doctors that did the previous surgeries were also informed. The surgical team is advised to be meticulous with swab counts in order to avoid its occurrence and when it does a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis and management. The policy of prevention coupled with use of several adjunct technologies which accounts for sponge use will help to reduce the incidence of gossypibomas. These strategies to avoid its occurrence are also discussed.black women white men

Case Report
Skeletal abnormalities of cervical region or in craniocervical region are of interest to the anatomists, orthopaedicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons and even orthodontists. These abnormalities may result in severe neck pain, decreased neck mobility, muscular weakness and sensory deficits of both upper limbs and sudden unexpected death. During the routine osteology teaching, it was observed that the axis vertebra is fused with the third cervical vertebra. It was observed that body, laminae and pedicles of C2 and C3 were completely fused on both anterior and posterior aspects. The features of these fused cervical vertebrae were analysed and the specimen was photographed from different aspects. This is a condition of block vertebra which has embryological importance and clinical implications.how to cheat on my husband

Case Report
Submitral aneurysm is a congenital out pouching of the left ventricular wall invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior mitral leaflet. This rare congenital cardiac anomaly was initially described among the African population and is considered rare in the other parts of world. The clinical picture is dominated by congestive cardiac failure in the presence of mitral regurgitation. Echocardiography provides precise non-invasive diagnosis. The literature is reviewed to increase the awareness of clinicians, especially novice echocardiographers about this rare cardiac anomaly when coming across congestive cardiac failure with mitral regurgitation in young population.my husband cheated with a man
