To accuse someone is to criticize them or to express the belief that they have done something wrong. Rejecting accusations involves other accusations leveled against the other party. In 2022 Russian –Ukrainian war, news agencies such as the pro-Kremlin Russian news agency Russia Today (RT) and the Cable Central Network (CNN) published an exchange of accusations about the conflict. This paper aims to find out how various news agencies express American accusations against Russia and Russian accusations against the USA linguistically. The study data include selected news headlines by various news agencies. The study identified the pragmatic devices that characterize the headlines of the selected news stories. It attempts to specify which speech act is most dominant in the selected news. It also attempts to find out what type of accusation is performed in each headline and which type is the most prominent. The data includes 10 news stories from various news agencies with focus on the headlines. The selected headlines are scrutinized in terms of the pragmatic perspective following Searle's (1969) theory of speech acts and Balmer and Brennenstuhl's (1981) accusation types. This study also tried to determine what type of accusation each headline represents depending on Bergstra and Düwell's (2023) classification. The analysis reveals that the writers of the news stories use the speech act of asserting in these headlines. The English verbs that denote the speech act of accusation in the study data are accuse, claim, etc. The English verbs that denote reaction to accusations in the selected data is condemns, etc. The speech act of accusation is an illocutionary act, namely representative. The headlines are too short to have any form of validation of the accusation. No self-accusations are expressed in the selected headlines. The headlines name the accuser and the accused in that their writers adopted a very clear style.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major killer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects almost one-quarter of the global population. The aim of the study is to Investigate the correlation between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the relationship between liver function enzymes and specific serum biomarkers in CRC patients with NAFLD. Methods: A case-control study involving 60 participants was conducted from February to August 2022. The patients with colon cancer were examined at Baghdad Medical City's Al-Amal Hospital for Radiation and Nuclear Medicine and Oncology Teaching Hospital, and blood samples were taken. Thirty patients with NAFLD who ha

This study sought to determine the incidence of bacterial and fungal pathogens responsible for burn and wound infections and their antibiotic susceptibility profiles. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 140 patients with burn or wound infections. Sterile swabs and pus aspiration were employed to collect samples, which were subsequently processed using standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic resistance was determined using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 25.0, and the Chi-

Early detection of AD makes it possible for patients to access appropriate services and to benefit from new treatments and therapies, as and when they become available, and to plan for the future. The onset of AD starts many years before the clinical symptoms become clear. A biomarker that can measure the brain changes in this period would be useful for early diagnosis of AD. Potentially, the electroencephalogram (EEG) can play a valuable role in early detection of AD. Damage caused to the brain due to AD leads t

The result showed that the photoconductivity and photosensitivity increase with increase of annealing temperature. This behavior is interpreted in terms of the dispersive diffusion –controlled recombination of localized electrons and holes.
The inflammatory response is a crucial aspect of the tissues’ responses to deleterious inflammogens. This complex response involves leukocytes cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, also known as inflammatory cells. In response to the inflammatory process, these cells release specialized substances which include vasoactive amines and peptides, eicosanoids, proinflammatory cytokines, and acute-phase proteins, which mediate the inflammatory process by preventing further tissue damage and ultimately resulting in healing and restoration of tissue function. This review discusses the role of the inflammatory cells as well as their by-products in the mediation of inflammatory process. A brief insight into the role of natural an
