Expression level of non-coding (MiR-155) gene as biomarker for severity of coronaviruses infection among vaccinated and non-vaccinated Iraqi patients
CONCLUSIONS: The miR-155 gene, overexpressed in SARS-CoV-2 patients, correlates with disease activity and severity, potentially serving as a biomarker for diagnosis and a potential therapeutic target.PMID:38517783 | DOI:10.3233/HAB-240008 (Source: Human Antibodies)

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 374: Examining the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Iraqi Refugees in Canada
Sekercioglu
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated health and social inequities among migrant groups more than others. Higher rates of poverty, unemployment, living in crowded households, and language barriers have placed resettled refugees at a higher risk of facing disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic. To understand how this most vulnerable population has been impacted by the ongoing pandemic, this study reports on the responses of 128 Iraqi refugees in the city of London, Ontario, to a survey on the economic, social, and health-related impacts that they have faced for almost two years since the beginning the pand...

Hydrogeochemical evolution processes, groundwater quality, and non-carcinogenic risk assessment of nitrate-enriched groundwater to human health in different seasons in the Hawler (Erbil) and Bnaslawa Urbans, Iraq
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32715-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe main objectives of this research are to assess groundwater, a primary source of drinking water in the urban areas of Hawler (Erbil) and Bnaslawa in northern Iraq, and the non-carcinogenic human health risks of nitrate contamination associated with drinking water quality. For this purpose, twenty-seven groundwater samples were collected from wells to assess the hydrogeochemical characteristics and groundwater quality for both natural and anthropogenic purposes during the wet (May 2020) and dry (September 2020) seasons...
