There are about 256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iraq. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The existing evidence from epidemiological studies and randomized controlled trials has consistently assures the cost effectiveness and the influential role of screening in reducing incidence rates and deaths caused by Colorectal Cancer (CRC). Population based organized screening programmes, which should be considered an obligation that is not to be postponed, require valuable information that can be reliably extrapolated from well-designed pilot study conducted prior to programme implementation. The main objectives of the current pilot CRC screening project, named after "Al-Kindy College of Medicine", was to evaluate and explore the specific aspects of the intended population-based organized CRC screening programme, including: barriers affecting adherence to the programme, performance indicators of the proposed screening programme, the target population in which CRC screening is a legitimate healthcare priority, quality assurance of screening tests and colonoscopy services, and to propose an algorithm that will provide a clinically and logistically acceptable positivity rate.
In recent years, an increased approach has appeared in the use of autologous blood products to assist tissue and organ healing. Application of platelet rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a potential solution for infertile women with poor ovarian reserve in reproductive specialty.
Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is one of the common urologic problems, nevertheless; its etiology and pathophysiology are poorly understood, with no solid guidelines for effective treatment. The beneficial health attributes of cinnamon and its derivative and components were reported by several researchers, this study is designed to illuminate the possible benefits of cinnamon on patients with Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)
The study was conducted to assess the impact of two doses of coenzyme Q10 on seminal fluid parameters and antioxidant status in infertile men.
The study was conducted to assess the impact of coenzyme Q10 and selenium on seminal fluid parameters and antioxidant status in infertile men.
Periodontal diseases and caries are essentially initiated and progressed by accumulation of dental plaque. Thus, daily effective plaque control is valuable as a preventive measure and maintaining oral health. Mechanical plaque control is important but has limitations; therefore, an adjunctive chemical plaque control such as mouthwash is helpful. Various medicinal plant-derived galenicals might be used as safe and stable alternatives to synthetic mouthwashes. For example, a combination of Salvadora persica L. (Sp) root sticks and green tea (Gt) aqueous extract has been found to reduce plaque accumulation over 24 hours. Moreover, these extracts were reported to have anti-microbial activity against many oral bacteria. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the combination of Gt aqueous extract and Sp aqueous extract in reducing plaque buildup for 4 days duration.
Postpartum haemorrhage keeps to be the leading cause of maternal mortality in middle and low-income countries, including Iraq. Much advancement had been made in the field of treatment for postpartum haemorrhage but no much progress had been made in the field of prevention, where one of its main component is the administration of uterotonic, preferably oxytocin, immediately after birth of the baby. In many low- and middle income countries, the efficacy of oxytocin cannot be assured since access to sustained cold-chain is unavailable. Regarding the other uterotonics; ergometrine degrades when exposed to heat or light. Misoprostol degrades rapidly when exposed to Moisture. Innovation in the manufacture of carbetocin had meet the stability requirements for hot and humid climates. This study had been accomplished to evaluate the uterotonic effect of carbetocin compared with oxytocin for the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage in emergency caesarean delivery. Looking if carbetocin is superior to oxytocin in term of reduction in the need for additional uterotonic agents or the occurrence of PPH.
Tranexamic acid has been proposed and used for prevention and management of antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage.
Atherogenic Dyslipidemia (AD) is a risk-conferring lipid/lipoprotein profile that comprises a higher proportion of small LDL particles, reduced HDL-C, and increased triglycerides. It is characteristically seen in patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus and has emerged as an important marker for the increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk observed in these populations. Optimal cardiovascular risk reduction in patients exhibiting the lipid triad of AD requires integrated pharmacotherapy to normalize HDL-C, Triglyceride (TG) and LDL-C levels. Recent studies have focused on optimizing treatment for AD and compare the efficacy and tolerability of combined lipid-altering drug based therapies, however, an optimal pharmacologic approach has not yet been established. The present study was intended to evaluate the restorative efficacy of Extended Release Niacin (ER Niacin) and Fenofibrate as mono and combination therapies , as well as their safety and tolerability in females with obesity-induced AD.
