Chronic kidney Failure, a progressive disease, includes both medical and biochemical features that damage kidneys and decrease their abilities to work effectively, this disease is characterized by a chronic disorders to both the innate and adaptive immune systems, generate a complex and not fully understood immune dysfunction. In the present study, (30) men suffering from chronic kidney failure with age in range (40-55) year and (30) healthy men within the same range of age were enrolled in this study. The aim of this study is to highlight the role of immunological aspect (IL-35), hormonal aspects (PTH), some functional proteins and immunological electrolytes in sera of chronic kidney failure (CKF) patients. Biochemical parameters were determined in the sera of both patients and (healthy) control group. Patients enrolled in this study were newly diagnosed, they have not taken any treatment related to any chronic disease. Blood samples were collected and biochemical parameters were measured in Al- Karama teaching hospital in Baghdad (except IL-35 which was determined in the private Al-Ghazalia Laboratory) from April to November 2015. Results have reported that IL-35 level was highly significant increase in sera of chronic kidney failure patients (35.035± 0.025) pg/mL compared with healthy group (23.331±0.031) pg/mL. As well, PTH level was highly significant increased in patients group (235.032±3.841) pg/ml compared with healthy control group (49.96±0.308) pg/mL. Hemoglobin level was highly significant decreased ( 9.696±0.056) g/L in patients with control group (15.332±0.067) g/dL. Determination of IL-35, PTH, Ferritin and Other biochemical. Parameters in sera of Iraqi Men with chronic kidney failure Rasha Zuhair Jasim and Samira Muajed Yaseen 58 Vol: 13 No:2 , April 2017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24237/djps.1302.151B P-ISSN: 2222-8373 E-ISSN: 2518-9255 Also, ferritin level was highly significant decreased in chronic kidney failure patients (164.0.68±7.818) ng/mL compared with control group (313.56±1.874) ng/mL. Moreover, albumin level was highly significant decreased (3.00±0.020) g/dL in patients compared with control group (4.928±0.039)g/dL. Bicarbonate level was highly significant decreased (17.412±0.117) mmol/L in patients compared with control group (25.044±0.072) mmol/L, sodium level was non significantly increased in patients (138.65±0.288) meq/L compared with control group (135.84±0.144) meq/L, potassium level was highly significant increased in patients group (5.420±0.0186) meq/L compared with healthy control group (4.700±0.113)meq/L, calcium level was highly significant decreased in patients (7.464±0.054) mmol/L compared with control group (9.628±0.614) mmol/L, phosphate level was significantly increased in patients (4.891±0.016) mg/dL compared with control group (4.552±0.014) mg/dL. The present study concludes that IL-35 is a strong biochemical marker for Iraqi men with CKF. Moreover, this study indicated the positive relationship between (PTH, Na+ , K+ , PO4 2- ) and chronic kidney failure, and the negative relationship between (Ferritin, albumin, hemoglobin, HCO3 - ) and chronic kidney failure in Iraq.
This paper discusses the role of Auditors' Technological Maturity in reinforcing the quality of auditing profession, through focusing on the concepts of Technological Maturity and quality of auditing profession, as well as designing a proposed model for Technological Maturity which includes five evolutionary and sequential stages, and this proposed model would contribute to reinforce the quality of auditing. This proposed model will be employed in the field of auditing profession because the importance of the development and investment in this profession and the importance of the need for specialized knowledge in Information Technology, and the result of a proposed model is development of technological knowledge for the auditor to reach
... Show MoreA specific, sensitive and simple method was used for the determination of: vitamin B9 (Folic acid) in pure and pharmaceutical formulations using continuous flow injection analysis. The method is based on formation of ion pair compound between folic acid and ammonium molybdate in an aqueous medium to obtain a gray precipitate complex, using homemade; Ayah-6SX1-ST-2D solar cell CFI Analyzer. Optimum parameters was studied to increase the sensitivity for developed method. The linear range for the calibration graph was 0.01-0.6 mMol.L-1 of vitamin B9 and LOD was 131.994 ng/sample with correlation coefficient ( r ) of 0.9810, RSD% was lower than 0.1%, (n=9) for the determination of vitamin B9 at concentration (0.07and 0.5) mMol.L-1 respectiv
... Show MorePhytoplankton community is a model for of monitoring aquatic systems and interpreting the environmental change in aquatic systems. The present study aimed to forecast environmental parameters that drive the change of phytoplankton community structure in the lake. The present study was carried out in Baghdad Tourist Island Lake (BTIL) for the period From October 2021 to May 2022. The study included the quality and quantity of phytoplankton, moreover, the highest and lowest value of the physical and chemical parameters were (Water temperature (13-30 °C), Light penetration (94-275cm), electric conductivity (837-1128 µS/cm), salinity (0.5-0.7 ‰), pH (7-8.2), total alkalinity (126-226 mg CaCO3/L), total Hardness (297-395 mg CaCO3/L
... Show MoreThe research aims to derive the efficient industrial plans for Al – shaheed public company under risk by using Target MOTAD as a linear alternative model for the quadratic programming models.
The results showed that there had been a sort of (trade- off) between risk and the expected gross margins. And if the studied company strives to get high gross margin, it should tolerate risk and vice versa. So the management of Al- Shaheed Company to be invited to apply the suitable procedures in the production process, in order to get efficient plans that improves it's performance .
A case-control study was performed to examine age, gender, and ABO blood groups in 1014 Iraqi hospitalized cases with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and 901 blood donors (control group). The infection was molecularly diagnosed by detecting coronavirus RNA in nasal swabs of patients.
Mean age was significantly elevated in cases compared to controls (48.2 ± 13.8
Abstract
Performance evaluation is of great importance in all countries of the world, because it has a prominent and effective role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of the optimal use of available resources, which are rare and important in achieving the desired objectives. With the continued growth of public spending and the limited resources, the State seeks to achieve its objectives through its units with minimal expenditure or deficit, rationality and wastefulness in the spending. In many countries, particularly developing countries, reforms are made in the public sector to achieve that goal through the adoption of IPSAS, which is reflected in the developmen
... Show MoreThe feline calicivirus (FCV) is a highly contagious and infectious virus that infects cats and causes moderate to stringent respiratory infections and oropharyngeal illness. It is prevalent in shelters and birthplace colonies and frequently infects kitten cats. 50 distinct cats were involved in the research, with samples acquired between October 2020 and January 2021. Swabs were taken from the oropharynx and conjunctiva, conditional on the signs of FCV disease septicity, to inspect viral nucleic acid from collecting samples, then extract the RNA from the swabs and turn it into a cDNA particle, and finally distinguishing the open reading frame nucleic acid gene 2 using a primer special for feline calicivirus, All specimens were taken
... Show MoreA ventricular septal defect (VSD) is defined as a communication between the left and right ventricles or between the left ventricle and the right atrium. VSDs are amongst the most common abnormalities of the heart. They can be present in isolation or in association with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. This is study done with the aim to evaluate the types, size, associated CHD with ventricular septal defect in children and adolescent in two cardiac centers (Medical City Complex cardiac clinics, Ibn Al Nafaes teaching hospital) in Baghdad - Iraq
