Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder with an estimated prevalence of 10% around the globe. Humans and animals contain intestinal parasites live in guts, and the intestinal wall is preferred for most of these parasites. Human intestine contaminated by many parasites, the most common of them are intestinal worms, Giardia, blastocyst and others. The current study was conducted on 76 Iraqi participants suffering from IBS, during the period from November 2021 to March 2022. We have noticed the presence of different types of parasites in 54 samples with IBS, the most prominent of them Blastocyst hominis and Entamoeba histolytica and 22 samples that do not contain parasites. This study proved that the highest rate of parasite infection was for Blastocystis hominis and the lowest percentage for Teania saginata which also affects the hematological parameters in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

The high incidence and mortality rates are associated with complications of viral hepatitis B, including cancer, cirrhosis, and other infections, so this disease remains a health problem throughout the world. This study aims to assess the levels of knowledge regarding Hepatitis B among medical technical students at the Mosul Medical Technical Institute in Mosul City/ Iraq. A total of (300) students aged (18-41) years participated in the study. A structured questionnaire, validated by a panel of experts, was employed to evaluate participants' knowledge about HBV transmission, symptoms, and preventive measures. The results indicated that 89% of students possessed acceptable knowledge about Hepatitis B, 7% demonstrated good knowledge, and 4% had poor knowledge. Key findings revealed that the highest awareness was related to the necessity of conducting HBV tests before surgical procedures (79%) and the importance of vaccination (68%). However, knowledge regarding the avoidance of contaminated water was notably low (5%). The study underscores the critical need for enhanced educational interventions to improve awareness and understanding of Hepatitis B among future healthcare professionals, thereby contributing to better prevention and control of this infectious disease.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder with an estimated prevalence of 10% around the globe. Human body possesses about 39 trillion of microbial cells, the majority of which inhabit the GI tract. The recent realization is that small intestinal bacterial overgrowth may be associated with symptoms of IBS. Aim: The current work aimed at the isolation and identification of different bacteria strains from IBS patients. Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty patients of different sex and ages were diagnosed with IBS (which was previously diagnosed by a specialist doctor) in the time period from November 2021 to May 2022. Results: The current results showed that there is a correlation between the number and percentage of isolates for each type of bacteria with a group of study factors, where in terms of sex, females were more. Concerning the age group, the most common age group was 36–55 years. On the other hand, the percentage of uneducated people was higher in the current study. It also showed the other factor, which is the possession of domestic animals; the majority of the study population was not owning animals. Regarding the prevalent weight, the body mass index (BMI) of 24–29.9 is the highest. The percentage of nonsmokers was also the highest, and the highest percentage of isolates was for Escherichia coli in all. Conclusions: This study proved that E. coli is the most common type of bacteria that has an effect on IBS patients and that Helicobacter pylori has the least effect.
