Doppler assessment may lead to intervention that reduces the risk of fetal brain damage. Aim of thestudy: to assess the relation between ultrasonic hemodynamic Doppler indices of middle cerebral and umbilical arteries (PI, RI), growth indices to immediate neonatal outcomes (weight, head & abdominal circumference, APGAR scores at 1 and 5 minutes and neonatal unit admission) in women with mild, moderate and severe anemia during pregnancy. Present study is a clinical prospective study carried out in Al-Elwiya Maternity Teaching Hospital during (January-Jun) 2019, all anemic pregnant women presented to Obstetrical wards in hospitals for emergency cesarean section were the study population. The final sample selected was 120 pregnant women. Ultrasound Doppler velocimetry measurements like middle cerebral artery-peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV), middle cerebral artery-pulsatility index (MCA-PI), middle cerebral artery-resistance index (MCA-PR), umbilical artery-pulsatility index (UA-PI), umbilical artery- resistance index (UA-RI), middle cerebral artery to umbilical artery- resistance index ratio (MCA/UA-RI) and middle cerebral artery to umbilical artery- pulsatility index ratio (MCA/UA-PI) were measured. Neonates with less than7had low vital activities (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration). Mean MCA-PI of anemic pregnant women with severe anemia was 1.4ms which was significantly lower than pregnant women with mild and moderate anemia, also mean MCA/UA-PI of anemic pregnant women with severe anemia was significantly lower than mild and moderate anemia with p-value <0.001. as well as the Mean neonatal HC of anemic pregnant women with severe anemia 30 cm which was significantly lower than HC of pregnant women with mild and moderate anemia (p=0.04), also mean neonatal AC of pregnant women with mild, moderate and severe, Current study showed no statistical difference in Apgar scores between the studies group, The validity results of MCA/UA-PI ratio regarding neonatal HC of anemic pregnant women are Sensitivity (22.2%), specificity (41.7%). Severe maternal anemia is found significantly associated with abnormal Doppler study middle cerebral artery to umbilical artery pulsatility index. so Doppler middle cerebral artery to umbilical artery pulsatility index has limited validity in the prediction of neonatal outcomes in anemic pregnant women.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Certain genetic polymorphisms play an important role in this multifactorial disease, being linked with increased risk of early onset CAD.
To assess six genetic polymorphisms and clinical risk factors in relation to early onset nondiabetic Iraqi Arab CAD patients compared to controls.

In this work the radioactive wastes in the Old Russian
Cemetery Al -Tuwaitha site were classified according to risks for
workers who are involved in the retrieval process. The exposure
assessment results expressed as estimates of radionuclide intakes by
inhalation and ingestion, exposure rates and duration for external
exposure pathways, and committed effective dose equivalents to
individuals from all relevant radionuclides and pathways. Results
showed the presence of natural radionuclides Ra-226, Th-234 and K-
40, as well as the produced radionuclide Cs-137 and Eu-152 in the
cemetery wells. The absorbed doses from the waste were classified to
two categories; exempt waste and low level waste according to
Background: Bone defect healing is a multidimensional procedure with an overlapping timeline that involves the regeneration of bone tissue. Due to bone's ability to regenerate, the vast majority of bone abnormalities can be restored intuitively under the right physiological conditions. The goal of this study is to examine the immunohistochemistry of bone sialoprotein in order to determine the effect of local application of bone sialoprotein on the healing of a rat tibia generated bone defect. Materials and Methods: In this experiment, 48 albino male rats weighing 300-400 grams and aged 6-8 months will be employed under controlled temperature, drinking, and food consumption settings. The animals will be subjected to a surgical procedure o

The construction project is complicated socially, technically and economically in its planning, management and implementation aspects due to the fact that it has many variables and multiple stakeholders in addition to being affected by the surrounding environment. Successful projects depend on three fundamental points which are cost-time, performance and specifications. The project stakeholder's objective to achieve best specifications and the cost-time frame stipulated in the contract.
The question is, was the optimum implementation accomplished? The provision for the success of the project
... Show MoreThe corrosion of carbon steel in single phase (water with 0.1N NaCl ) and two immiscible phases (kerosene-water) using turbulently agitated system is investigated. The experiments are carried out for Reynolds number (Re) range of 38000 to 95000 corresponding to rotational velocities from 600 to 1400 rpm using circular disk turbine agitator at 40 0C. In two-phase system test runs are carried out in aqueous phase (water) concentrations of 1 % vol., 5 % vol., 8% vol., and 16% vol. mixed with kerosene at various Re. The effect of Reynolds number (Re), percent of dispersed phase, dispersed drops diameter, and number of drops per unit volume on the corrosion rate is investigated and discussed. Test runs are carried out using two types of
