Background and objectives: The incidence of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit (ICU) varies, be subjected on the age of the patient, medical diseases that caused the sore, area of the body that is involved and medical care for the patients. This incidence is increasing because of aging people those living with disability. Knowing how to prevent and treat pressure sores appropriately is very important for all medical staff in wound care. Aim of the study: Assess of the incidence of pressure sore in the ICU of AL-Diwaniya teaching hospital and finding the factors that decrease this incidence. Methods: This prospective study was done in the ICU of AL-Diwaniya teaching hospital in the period from January 2025 to March of 2025, for a total of 3 months which included 66 patients, 20 of them developed pressure sores. The data information is collected based on name, age, gender, date of admission, cause of hospitalization (trauma/ non- trauma),and medical diseases like hypertension, diabetes mellitus and heart failure Results: In this study that was conducted in the ICU at Al-Diwaniya teaching hospital, number of patients were 66, 20 of them developed pressure ulcers (30%), the male (60%) patients were more prevalence than female (40%) and the mean age of our sample was 47.36 years old. Conclusion: The pressure ulcers are one of the most common complications in ICU. Younger patients who had accidents were more common during the study period, the most common location of occurrence of the pressure ulcers is the sacrum. Failure to turn patients, most likely due to their weight and build is the most predisposing factor for formation of sore.

To determine the best method for second degree burn treatment that provide rapid healing, prevent infection, comfortability, cost and returning the patient to full productivity during treatment period.

In our study, we used cephalic trim cartilage from LLC uniting strategies to be compelling in amending short nose, with a low occurrence of complications. Preferences of this procedure incorporate extension of the whole nasal tip and ala, which brings about more far reaching and proportioned nasal length. The versatile nasal tip is kept up by sufficiently liberating the holding powers of the LLC while offering enough underlying help

Burn injuries affact on physical and mental status of the victum. The researchers show different outcome in their articles when they study depression in burned patients. The study aims are : 1. identify the prevalence rate of depression in burn patients. 2.measure severity of depression .3. study the socio-demographic variables of those patients. A case –control study was condefed on One hunderd patients at the burn unit of AL- Diwaniya Teaching Hospital from a period of April 2nd 2014 to January 2nd 2015. the presence of depression was diagnosed by using a semi –structured interview schedule based on ICD-10, diagnostic criteria for depression ,and its severity was rated by Beck depression inventory.

There is a close association between burn related variables and depression The study show the importance of evaluation and management of depression in burn

:To define the relationship between margin of clearance at sites of excision and the recurrence rate of basal cell carcinoma in head and neck region Methods: This study was conducted on 65 patients in Al-Diwanyia teaching hospital who underwent surgery for basal cell carcinoma in the head neck region between 2007 and 2008 and followed up for a period of 3 years .The patients were evaluated according :site and type of Bcc ,whether or not the excision was complete ,tumor recurrence , gender and age of the patients . The size of tumor was less than 2cm in all patients Conclusion: a risk of recurrence in incompletely excised basal cell carcinoma was more common in younger age group patients and we recommend close clinical follow up for other patients
