The study aimed to investigate the role of Dectin-1 and Card-9 in pathogenicity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This investigations involved 150 blood samples for IBD patients which divided in to two groups (50 for crohns disease CD (G2) and 50 for ulcerative colitis UC (G3)). All a apparently (male and female) attended to) Al-Kindy hospital) in Baghdad city, department of Gastroenterology. and all of thin were diagnosis by consulters medical staff and pathologists with age range 15-65years average 40 years. in addition to 50 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy individuals as control group (G1). 10 ml were withdrawn from all participants, 5ml for the immunological study which carried by ELISA technique and 5 ml used for molecular study carried by RT-PCR. Serum was isolated than keep-20 until used m RNA were excreted The results of card9 and Dectin-1showed that, the serum concentration recorded a was highly significantly increasing level in crohns group (G2) and ulcerative colitis (G3) comparison to control group (G1) p value= 0.002, 0.008 respectively also for card9 and Dectin-1. There is a non-significant in Card 9 and Dectin-1 level in the G2, G3 patients infected with Candida compared toG1, P value= 0.176 NS. 0.39 NS respectively. It has been noticed a significant Elevated Card9 andDectin-1 gene expression in patients group patients (G2)(G3) compared to (G1) p value=< 0.001.,< 0.001** respectively Conclusion: The Dectin-1and CARD9 may has a role in the inflammatory process and

Background: Bone disease of hyperthyroidism is a type of high-turnover osteoporosis. In many patients
with hyperthyroidism, there is excessive bone resorption, occasionally marked in degree and far
exceeding that in the usual patient with osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone
mineral density (BMD) in hyperthyroid patients in a controlled study.
Patients and Methods. The study group consists of 48 patients with hyperthyroidism who were seen at
Specialized Centre for Endocrinology and Diabetes, and at Rheumatology Clinic and Osteoporosis Clinic
in Baghdad Teaching Hospital. In all patients, measurement of BMD at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) using
dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) machine was

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a type of cancer originating from breast tissue, Lipid profile seems to influence the development of female breast cancer, especially in the presence of an increased body mass index so.
Objective: to explore the status of lipid profile in women with breast cancer.
Subjects and methods: the present study is a cross-sectional study (2010/2011) done at Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital. Includes measurement of LP in sera of postmenapausal newly diagnosed women with BC in comparison with healthy control women. This measurement was done using colorimetric method. In The results of this study include a total of 100 patients with BC were involved in this study, they were classified as newly diagnosed postmenop

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that results in a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks flexible (synovial) joints. Many cases are believed to result from an interaction between genetic factors and environmental exposures. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with several autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and multip

Toxoplasmosis is a widespread infection usually caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite. It occurs in humans and other warm blooded animals, causing severe problems. It was found that there is an alteration in the trace elements concentrations levels associated with some human diseases. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the concentrations of some trace elements (Mg, Fe , Zn, and Cu) in the sera of 60 immunocompetent patients with chronic toxoplasmosis and 82 healthy individuals as a control group. Measuring the serum level of seropositivity rate of anti-T. gondii antibodies was done by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kit, while the concentrations of trace elements were measured by absorption spectrophotometry

Gallstone disease is one of the most common complications among diabetic patients especially type 2 DM. Till now, there is no specific and certain factor that explain the incidence of gallstones among type 2 diabetic patients and many risk factors are taken collectively to estimate its intensity and severity compared to non diabetic counter parts. This clinical study was designed to evaluate and report the incidence and severity of gallstones among type 2 diabetics and non diabetics regarding certain factors. 20 diabetic females and 20 diabetic males were collected as patients′ group and have had gallstones while 20 females and 20 males who have had gallstones without diabetes mellitus type 2 were collected as controls′ group
