Objectives: The general concern about low back pain (LBP) necessitates thoroughly examining its various causes and feasible therapies. The current study investigated the causes and surgical treatments of back pain by tailoring treatments to the patient’s specific needs. Methods: Two hundred individuals with LBP have been enrolled in this cross-sectional research. The radiological, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and clinical evaluations were completed by neurosurgeons and used to categorize the selected patients from those attending neurosurgical outpatient clinics. Multiple causes of LBP, including disk prolapse, spinal stenosis, and muscular spasms, were investigated. Detailed descriptions of surgical approaches for various stages of disk prolapse and stenosis were given to help decide the optimal surgical tactics. The data were compiled into an Excel sheet, and the percentages and numbers were sorted and computed appropriately. Results: The data present an extensive overview of the distribution pattern of back pain causes, disk prolapse, and spinal stenosis in the study community, along with the surgical procedures employed. Muscle spasms, disk prolapse, and spinal stenosis are the main causes of back pain (20%, 40%, and 13%, respectively). L5 and S1 are the most commonly involved in single-level disk prolapse (10%). Different spinal levels may have varying percentages of multiple-level disk prolapse (20%). There are multiple lumbar levels where spinal stenosis can occur, but the most common are L4 and L5 (20%). Distinct surgical approaches are employed for disk prolapse and stenosis at various levels of the spine, and the most frequent intervention was laminectomy in about 39% of total participants. Discussion: The study’s results demonstrate the complexity of the etiologies of back pain and the need for advanced surgical techniques. Particular emphasis is concentrated on spinal stenosis, including single- and multiple-level disk prolapse, and the relationship between surgical methods and causes. The study’s thorough comprehension is essential for tailored interventions based on patient traits, ultimately enhancing therapy and patient care.

Many risk factors have been listed that predispose to the occurrence of high blood pressure (BP). Although high body mass index (BMI) is a recognized risk factor for hypertension, the cutoff value for the high BMI was not taken into consideration as a predictor risk. There is no clear data on the occurrence of hypertension in Iraq in the highly educated population. Moreover, studies on hypertension in Iraq have been limited to a few studies. To assess and study the prevalence of BP in the academic population of Babylon city, a prospective study of 100 people was conducted. In the course of 3 months, during their work at the university in the morning, the questionnaire was filled out along with the body weight measurement. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to measure the maximum area under the curve for the BMI score. Outcomes demonstrated that despite the high level of education, the prevalence of hypertension remains unacceptable. Awareness raising about the risk factors should be addressed through ongoing health education in health sectors and media. BMI of more than 25 could be considered a predictable risk value.

A diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in a human often contains more than one test. Calcification of the traverse carpal ligament (TCL) is the common reason why patients seek CTS surgery. However, the determination of calcium (Ca) concentration in the TCL has not been studied. The results of environmental toxicity studies assessing the relationship between Ca and elemental deposition in the TCL are inconsistent. The purpose of this paper was to verify this hypothesis by conducting a chemical analysis of a portion of the released TCL to assess whether there is a relationship between CTS and Ca, measured as the total concentration of Ca, and to measure the precipitation of elements; the most closely related elements associated with Ca are cadmium and lead, which are also toxic. Surgical release of TCL was performed on forty patients. Total concentrations of Ca, Cd, and Pb in the extracted portion of TCL were digested and determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the possibility of using X-ray spectroscopy (XRF) for direct elemental analysis. Ca mineralisation was revealed in some TCLs. In assessing patients’ environmental pollution, it was observed that the Cd and Pb concentrations were significant with a higher Ca concentration, and XRF was useful for direct detection of the elements in samples of the human body. These results indicate that TCL mineralisation by Ca does not characterise CTS, which has important concerns in improving patients’ therapeutic strategies, and Cd and Pb concentrations varied due to different factors.

Sural sparing pattern is believed to be important early neurophysiologic change of GuillainBarresyndrome (GBS) in adult and it is considered one of the diagnostic criteria for early GBS, but in children, there are limited studies to define its importance. This study aims to find the role of sural sparing pattern in the detection of GBS in children. The study involves 22child presented with classical features of GBS.Then the diagnosis was confirmed using serial electrodiagnostic testing and CSF examination. Then they undergo full neurological and neurophysiological assessment by nerve conduction study and electromyography. Sural sparing is defined as decrease in the ratio of sensory amplitude between ulnar and sural nerves compared to age and sex matched control. The study found that sural sparing pattern is a sensitive (83%) and specific (92%) finding in GBS. We conclude that sural sparing pattern is useful marker for diagnosis of GBS in children.
