The objective of this study is to ascertain the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of spinal disorders among construction workers in Al Nasiryah City. To this end, data on the age, height, and weight of 140 Iraqi patients with spinal disorders from various hospitals were collected between September 2022 and February 2023. The primary causes and symptoms of these disorders were identified through MRI, thus allowing for a comprehensive understanding of their condition. The study employed the statistical software package SPSS Version 25 to analyses a number of variables, including age, gender, and the findings of the MRI scans from the 140 reports. The mean and standard deviation were used to gain insights, with a p-value of 0.05 applied to identify any significant differences, and a Pearson chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between the review factors and the study period, which ran from 3 September 2022 to 1 February 2023 where MRI results found the distribution of patients according to MRI results was as follows: Bony disorders with 50 % and for 70 patients, Disc disorders for 40 patients with %28.57, Spondylo-degenerative disorders for 30 patients with % 21.43 with a direct relationship was found between Spinal disorder and MRI diagnosis

subtrochanteric Fractures of proximal third of the femur are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with lower extremity injuries. Most fractures are sustained in young adults during high velocity injuries. Patients and Methods: Twenty four patients with subtrochanteric fracture were treated in Al– Karkh Hospital .Baghdad between October 2017 to September 2018. Twelve patients had been treated with open reduction and internal fixation using a fixed angle blade plate were matched to twelve patients treated with standard IM nailing, with regard to gender, age decade, and the Russell-Taylor classification of the fracture. Results: Four patients treated with ORIF versus only one patients treated with IM nailing had a revision surgery. Furthermore, we found significant difference with regard to time to union, non-union, implant failure or fracture between ORIF and IM nailing. Our results suggest that the rate of revision surgery is higher with ORIF using fixed angle blade plate for subtrochanteric femoral fractures. Conclusions: With the respect of two choices of implants for the fixation of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur, Internal fixation using a fixed angle blade plate for subtrochanteric femoral fractures has higher implant failure and revision rate, compared to closed intramedullary nailing.

Optic nerve head drusen(ONHD) are often a chance finding in patients coming for routine ocular examination and are sometimes associated with severe ocular diseases.We report a case of ONHD in an asymptomatic, hypertensive patient with classical fundus, B scan and OCT(optical coherence tomography) findings

“Botany is the branch of Biology that deals with the study of plants.”The term ‘botany’ is derived from an adjective ‘botanic’ that is again derived from the Greek word ‘botane’. One who studies ‘botany’ is known as a ‘botanist’. Botany is one of the world’s oldest natural sciences. Initially, Botany included all the plant-like organisms such as algae, lichens, ferns, fungi, mosses along with actual plants. Later on, it was observed that bacteria, algae and fungi belong to a different kingdom.
