The viruses considered one of the most factors that cause infertile because it represented sexual transmission disease. Objective. The purpose of this study was to study the correlations between viruses (HSV) viral load and semen parameters in groups of fertile and infertile Iraqi men. Methods. This study comprised fifty infertile males and fifty fertile healthy males. Seminal fluid analysis was conducted on all participants to detect the presence of HSV using the HSV1,2 quantification kit. Results: There was a high significant correlation between sperm concentration and percentage of rapid linear progression motility (r= 0.478**) of infertile men. A strong meaningful connection was seen between the percentage of sperm concentration and both the percentage of sluggish linear or nonlinear motility (r = 0.681**) and the percentage of non-progressive motility (r = 0.604**). There was a strong negative connection (r = -0.725**) between the concentration of sperm and the number of immotile spermatozoa. On the others hand, There was a high significant correlation between rapid linear progression and slow linear or nonlinear(r =0 .413**) non-progressive motility (r = 0.704**) respectively, and high negative significant between rapid linear progression and immotile spermatozoa. The correlation between slow linear or nonlinear and non-progressive motility was highly significant (r= 0.555**) and negative significant between slow linear or nonlinear and immotile spermatozoa. Finally, A strong negative correlation (-0.813**) was observed between non-progressive motility and immotile spermatozoa. Conclusions :The study found that HSV infection had effect on semen parameters and will cause male infertility.

Background & Objective: Congenital anomalies are a global issue and the primary reason of death in both developed and advanced countries. Congenital anomalies occur at varying rates in various populations. The purpose of this research was to determine the prevalence and pattern of congenital anomalies in newborns, as well as the associated maternal and environmental factors in newborns, presented at the Babylon teaching hospital for motherhood and pediatrics in AL-Hilla city, between 2017 and 2021.Materials & Methods: This study follows a descriptive design, and was based on population data from the statistic registry covering the AL-Hilla city, Iraq, 2017 to 2021. The registry covers live and still births. Also, maternal and neonatal information regarding sex, birth weight, parental consanguinity, and maternal age, were recorded.Results: There were 214 congenitally deformed newborns among the 46,777 births in AL-Hilla city. There were 109 males (50.69 percent) and 103 females (47.90 percent). The most common congenital malformations discovered were those relating to the neurological system, followed by those relating to the musculoskeletal system.Conclusion: Anomalies in the central nervous system were most apparent, however, this research can help to determine the approximate distribution of the prevalence of congenital anomalies in AL-Hilla city in Iraq. Also, by identifying their main types, information can be applied to improve the clinical performance and public policies of Iraq.
