This study includes 15 male healthy and 30 male patients diagnosed with prostate
cancer inciude (18 cases in stages I & II and 12 cases in III – stage). All the patients
were suffered from urinary tract infection ( UTI) . The mean age is (57.33± 5.02)
years range ( 45-63) years, as cases and controls Patients with prostate cancer were
treated admits an Educational Baghdad Hospital, and Central Public Health
Laboratory and Radiation and Nuclear Medicine Hospital in Baghdad, during
period 1/6/2008 to 1/12/2010 are included in this study. The markers Prostatespecific
antigen (CA PSA), Interleukins ( IL -1 , IL-2, IL-3, IL-5) and
Immunoglobulins ( IgG, IgM, IgE) are estimated by using ELISA method. The

A total of 41 patients with gastro duodenal symptoms (show signs of inflammation with or without duodenal ulcer) . 21 males (51.2%) and 20 female (48.8%) with an average age 0f  (20 – 80) years old under  going gastrointestinal endoscopy at Baghdad teaching hospital in internal disease clinical laboratory , between (February – June)  2009 . Biopsies specimen of antrum , gastric fundus ,& duodenal bulb were examined by the following methods (rapid urease test , Giemsa stain section to detect bacteria , & Haematoxilin and Eosin stained section for pathological study which are considered the gold standard methods , sera or plasma from these patients were tested by immunochromotography (ICM),serological m

The infrastructure is one of the basic components of the tourism industry in Iraq in general and in Najaf in particular, in spite of there are obstacles and problems that which are hindered the development of tourism in Iraq, some of them are related to the  tourism industry itself, some are related to the security and political situation, and some are related to poor management of tourism. However, the infrastructure is considered the cornerstone of the success of the tourism industry in Iraq and other countries, if it is available, it can be a potential indicator of success, and on the contrary, it is a hindrance to go forward. The aim of this research is to shed light on the availability of requirements for the s

The development of better tools for diagnosis and more accurate prognosis of cancer includes the search for biomarkers; molecules whose presence, absence or change in quantity or structure is associated with a particular tumour or prognosis/therapeutic outcome. While biomarkers need not be functionally relevant, if cell survival, then they could also provide new targets for therapeutic drugs. In recent years attention has been applied to a group of proteins known as cancer testis antigens (CT antigens) [1]. These proteins are products of genes whose expression was normally confined to the testis, yet they are expressed in tumour cells. CT genes are bound to serve a wide array of roles in the testes, which have many highly differentiated cel

This descriptive research aims atidentifying the difficulties encountered by nursing students in the development of nursing diagnostic skills. The data collection was carried out using a direct questionnaire with 62 students in My Youssef’s hospital in Casablanca. The results of the study list a set of failures related to the training of nurses. This training focuses mainly on the acquisition of knowledge; it is not aimed to the development of the real skill.

     Total releasing phenolic compounds and allelopathic potential of the three sunflower genotypes Helianthus annuus L. residues were evaluated under open field conditions on weed flora associated with the proposed crops; wheat, broad bean and flax which are cultivated usually after the sunflower crop as successive crops. After getting seed from the sunflower crop. After getting seeds, sunflower plant parts were chopped and incorporated with field soil using a rotavator. Regarding the phenolics, total phenolic compounds released from sunflower residues were increased in-field soil and reached the highest concentration in the fourth week after mixing with soil. Significant suppression of weed flora was observed when the weed

Microalgae widely used for bioremediation of inorganic (NH4and PO4) nutrients as single isolates. This study aims to use a mix microalgae isolated from Dijlah river for bioremediation of municipal waste water .The experiments had been start with two different concentrations of nutrients. NH4-N values were 23.4 and 31.7mg/l, phosphorus PO4-P 6.7and 10.7 mg/ l and BOD5 were 66 and 83 mg/l. both cycles of treatment showed complete removal for NH 4-N and PO4-P levels after treatment were 1.7 and 0.7 mg/l for both of treatment cycle .Biological oxygen demand reduced to lowest value were18.9 in 2nd cycle while in 1st cycle of treatment reduced to21.3mg/l.The results showed that mix microalgae have the ability to remove nutrients and organic po
