In this issue of the journal we have a number
of papers from the Middle East and India.
A paper from Jordan looked at the most common
factors contributing to urinary tract infections
(UTI) during pregnancy, among women in North
Jordan. Data collection was performed during
the period between January and October 2008.
From 6,786 visits to gynecological clinics in
North Jordan, 181 pregnant women with presence
of bacteuria in urine cultures were chosen to
participate in this survey. The authors concluded
that increasing awareness of girls about signs
and symptoms of urinary tract infection in general
and especially during pregnancy, in addition
to prevention, precautions and treatment, during
secondary school, and maybe earlier, this may
be a satisfactory background to prevent UTI
in potential mothers.
A paper from Iraq looked at the effects of
smoking on the semen parameters in infertile
men in Erbil. A total of 110 cigarette smokers
and 110 strictly non-smoking primary infertility
patients were included in the study after strict
patient selection criteria were taken into consideration.
The authors concluded that cigarette smoking
may affect semen quality through its effect
on sperm motility.
Dr Safaa from Iraq looked at the issue of Medical
ethics and torture. The author stressed that
because of the duty to promote and protect prisoner's
wellbeing, physician's who work in prisons should
monitor human rights during their medical work.
They can discern signs of abuse even when they
have not witnessed the abuse. Also, they can
see the prisoners who have been concealed from
customary monitors, such as delegates of the
International Committee of the Red Cross. Most
medical societies endorse codes prescribing
physicians complicity with torture; and they
align with a torturing government's policy of
no accountability.
