    The ten bacterial isolates used in this study have the ability to utilizecrude oil and aromatic compounds. They were isolated in the previousstudy and considered as a novel group of aromatic hydrocarbon degradingextreme thermophillic bacteria. These isolates were screened for theirability to produce biosurfactant depending on the emulsification index(E24%), surface tension measurement (mN/m) and emulsification activity(E.A) using crude oil as a carbon source.

This study aimed to investigate the association of F5 gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the incidence of thrombosis. Blood samples werecollected from04 patientsduring the period from November 2014 to January 2015, from critical care unit (C.C.U) of (Yarmook Hospital, Kadhimiya  Hospital),as well as from 10unrelated healthy control group. This study found the age group between 50 to 60 are more susceptible to thrombosis 45% and the thrombosis was more frequent in male 55% from female 45% the significant (p<0.01).

This study aimed to isolate bacterial causative of burn and wound infections and treat them by vinegars and probiotics. For such purpose, a total of 58 swab samples were obtained from patients of both gender and various ages who referred to two teaching hospitals in Baghdad suffering from burn and wound infections of different severity and location of injuries in their body. Only 43 (74.2%) of the
