A Comparative Study of the Right and Left Carotid Arteries in Relation to Age for Patients With Diabetes and Hypertension
Introduction:
Introduction: Age
hypertension
and diabetes can cause significant alterations in arterial structure and function
including
changes in lumen diameter (LD)
intimal-medial thickness (IMT)
flow velocities
and arterial compliance. These are also considered
risk markers of atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease. A difference between right and left carotid artery blood flow and
IMT has been reported by some researchers
and a difference in the incidence of nonlacunar stroke has been reported between
the right and left brain hemispheres. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences between the right and
left common carotid arteries and internal carotid arteries in patients with hypertension and diabetes for 2 age groups.
Methods: We studied 250 patients with both diabetes and hypertension. Patients were divided into 2 age groups with the
old age group being 56 to 75 years and the young age group 35 to 55 years. The bilateral common carotid and internal carotid
arteries were evaluated with B-mode ultrasound and Doppler examinations. The LD and IMT were measured for both common
carotid arteries
and spectral waveform parameters and indices were recorded for both internal carotid arteries.
Results: The difference in LD between the left and right common carotid arteries for the old age group was 11.64% and for the
young age group was 6.42%
with significant P values of <.05 for both age groups. The difference in IMT between the left and
right common carotid arteries was 18.27% in the old age group compared with 15.38% in the young age group
with significant
P values of <.05. There was a difference in peak systolic velocity between the left and right internal carotid arteries of 4.85%
in the old age group which was not significant
compared with 14.28% in the young age group with a significant P value <.05
whereas the difference in end-diastolic velocity between the left and right internal carotid arteries was not significant for both
age groups. Differences between the right and left internal carotid arteries for resistive index
pulsatility index
and pressure
gradient were significant only in the young age group.
Conclusion: We found significant differences between the right and left common carotid and internal carotid arteries in
patients with diabetes and hypertension which were more prominent in the young age group. Values for common carotid IMT
and LD were significantly higher in the left common carotid artery versus the right common carotid artery in both age groups.
Differences between the 2 carotid sides may be attributed to anatomic variations in the common carotid artery origins which
lead to differences in stress between the 2 sides
Age, hypertension, and diabetes can cause significant alterations in arterial structure and function, including changes in lumen diameter (LD), intimal-medial thickness (IMT), flow velocities, and arterial compliance.

This study concerns the role of activated carbon (AC) from palm raceme as a support material for the enhancement of lipase-catalyzed reactions in an aqueous solution, with deep eutectic solvent (DES) as a co-solvent. The effects of carbonization temperature, impregnation ratio, and carbonization time on lipase activity were studied. The activities of Amano lipase from Burkholderia cepacia (AML) and lipase from the porcine pancreas (PPL) were used to investigate the optimum conditions for AC preparation. The results showed that AC has more interaction with PPL and effectively provides greater enzymatic activity compared with AML. The optimum treatment conditions of AC samples that yield the highest enzymatic activity were 0.5 (NaOH (

Design and Implementation of a Moving Robot Equipped with an Arm and an FPGA to Deliver Objects between Two Positions
Abstract<p>In this paper a system is designed and implemented using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to move objects from a pick up location to a delivery location. This transportation of objects is done via a vehicle equipped with a robot arm and an FPGA. The path between the two locations is followed by recognizing a black line between them. The black line is sensed by Infrared sensors (IR) located on the front and on the back of the vehicle. The Robot was successfully implemented by programming the Field Programmable Gate Array with the designed system that was described as a state diagram and the robot operated properly.</p>

volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
Radiation treatment has long been the conventional approach for treating nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) tumors due to its anatomic features, biological characteristics, and radiosensitivity. The most common treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy. This study aimed to assess the better quality of radiotherapy treatment techniques using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The VMAT and IMRT are comparative techniques. Forty patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and forwarded for radiotherapy were treated with both advanced techniques, IMRT and VMAT, using eclipse software from Varian. The x-ray energy was set at 6 MV. The total prescribed dose was 70 Gy. The results show that the

Influence of A River Water Quality on The Efficiency of Water Treatment Using Artificial Neural Network

Tigris River
Turbidity removal efficiency
Water quality index (WQI)
Water treatment plants (WTPs).
Tigris River is the lifeline that supplies a great part of Iraq with water from north to south. Throughout its entire length, the river is battered by various types of pollutants such as wastewater effluents from municipal, industrial, agricultural activities, and others. Hence, the water quality assessment of the Tigris River is crucial in ensuring that appropriate and adequate measures are taken to save the river from as much pollution as possible. In this study, six water treatment plants (WTPs) situated on the two-banks of the Tigris within Baghdad City were Al Karkh; Sharq Dijla; Al Wathba; Al Karama; Al Doura, and Al Wahda from northern Baghdad to its south, that selected to determine the removal efficiency of turbidity and

The Efficacy of Polidocanol foam Sclerotherapy in Treatment of Infantile Hemangioma and Slow-Flow Vascular Malformation
Background: Sclerotherapy is a simple treatment modality for treatment of infantile hemangioma and slow-flow vascular malformations; Polidocanol is a mild sclerosing agent that is traditionally used in treatment of varicose veins. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, treatment outcome, and complications of polidocanol foam sclerotherapy for infantile hemangioma and slow-flow vascular malformations. Materials and methods: Between March 2013 and December 2014, seventeen patients with infantile hemangioma and slow-flow vascular malformations treated with polidocanol 1% foam sclerotherapy. Foam was prepared by Tessari’s method. Injection performed under general or local anesthesia, injections were repeated (if necessary) on mon

Effects of Ultrasonic Treatment and Hydrogen Donor Addition on the Viscosity of Iraqi Heavy Crude Oil
The current investigation examines the combined impacts of ultrasonic radiation and hydrogen donors on the viscosity of heavy crude oil. The impact of exposure time, power, duty cycle, and temperature on the viscosity of Iraqi heavy crude oil with 20.32 API was studied. Also, the viscosity of the oil samples, which were mixed with a hydrogen donor (decalin) and subjected to ultrasonic treatment under optimal conditions, was examined to evaluate the combined impact of ultrasonic radiation and hydrogen donor on the viscosity of crude oil. The viscosity experienced a decrease of 52.34% at 2 min of irradiation, 360 W ultrasonic power, 0.8 duty cycle, 35 ⁰C, and 8vol% decalin. To validate the outcomes of the experiments, asphaltene content, s
