الخلفية: التهاب المفاصل الرَثَيَانِي أو الداء الرثياني أو الالتهاب المفصلي الروماتويدي هو مرض مزمن، من الأمراض الانضدادية التي تؤدي بالجهاز المناعي لمهاجمة المفاصل، مسببة التهابات وتدميرًا لها. ومن الممكن أيضًا أن يدمر جهاز المناعة أعضاء أخرى في الجسم مثل الرئتين والجلد. وفي بعض الحالات، يسبب المرض الإعاقة، مؤدية إلى فقدان القدرة على الحركة والإنتاجية. ويتم تشخيص المرض بواسطة تحاليل دم مخبرية مثل تحليل العامل الرثياني والأشعة المقطعية. الهدف من الدراسة:لتقييم مستوى IL6في مصل مرضى التهاب المفاصل الرثوي مقارنة بالاصحاء,لتقييم فائدتهما التشخيصية والتنبؤية في المرضى وللتحقيق في ارتباط مستوياتهما بالخصائص الاجتماعية والديمواغرافية والسريرية لمرضى التهاب المفاصل الرثوي. المرضى والطريقة: ثمانون شخصا, 40 شخصا مصاب بمرض التهاب المفاصل الرثوي تتراوح اعمارهم (23-60)و40 شخص سليم تتراوح اعمارهم (23-61). تم استخدام مقايسة الممتز المناعي المرتبط بالانزيم(ELISA) لتحليل مستويات IL6 في الدم. النتائج:كانت مستويات المصل من IL6 مرتفة في مرضى التهاب المفاصل الرثوي مقارنة بالاصحاء .وكانت هناك قدرة تشخيصية جيدة للتنبؤ بمرض التهاب المفاصل الرثوي.تلك المستويات لم تكن مرتبطة مستوى نشاط المرض ومعدل الترسيب . الاستنتاجات:IL6 يلعب دورا مهما في التسبب بمرض التهاب المفاصل الرثوي وقد اثبت انه عامل بيولوجي لتشخيص مرض التهاب المفاصل الرثوي.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with increased oxidative stress and impaired endothelial function. Ticagrelor treatment improves antioxidant properties in addition to its antiplatelet effects. This study investigated the impact of Ticagrelor treatment on serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels and other biochemical parameters in PAD patients. It also evaluated the potential diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of specific biomarkers based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Seventy individuals were categorized into healthy control (n=40), baseline PAD patients not on Ticagrelor (B-PAD, n=30), and same PAD patients after treated with Ticagrelor (A-PAD, n=30). Parameters measured included SOD concent

T gondiiis thought to infect one-third of the human population.The symptoms depending on the adequacy of the immune antiparasitic response. In humans, the main source of infection is through contact with the feces of infected cats, the final host in which the T. gondii completes its life cycle. Other source of infection occurs when drinking raw milk, ingestion of contaminated meat. Aim: This descriptive study estimated the seroprevalence and risk variables for Toxoplasma gondii infection forundergraduate students of a college of Pharmacy who were studying at University of Baghdad. The frequency rate ofToxopl

Volleyball is one of the sports that require physical and skill abilities thus many teaching models appeared to teach these abilities like group investigation model. The research aimed at identifying the effect of group investigation model on learning underarm and overhead passing in volleyball. The researchers hypothesized statistical differences between pre and posttests in learning underarm and overhead passing in volleyball as well as differences in posttests of controlling and experimental groups in learning underarm and overhead passing in volleyball. The researcher used the experimental method on (30) second year female students of physical education and sport sciences college/ university of Baghdad. Group investigation model was app

We studied 263 hypertensive patients and 166 healthy subjects as a control group. By using conventional Doppler echocardiography, the following parameters were measured—Left ventricular end diastolic diameter, left ventricular end systolic diameter, transmitral early velocity, isovolumic relaxation time, and isovolumic contraction time. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was used in the measurements of the early mitral annular velocity (Ea) and the diastolic stiffness was obtained by calculating the ratio E\Ea\LVIDd. Index myocardial performance (IMP) was calculated
