Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common comorbidities associated with enlarged extremities, occurring in 60 % of patients with acromegaly. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of growth hormone and insulin such as growth factor-1 with obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10), as risk factors for cardiovascular disorder in acromegaly patients. Eighty subjects were included and categorized into two groups: 40 acromegaly patients and 40 of the control group. The results indicated weight excess, hyperglycemia, hypertension, lipid disorder, and elevated levels of interleukins (2, 6, and 10). The correlation of both GH and IGF-1 with each of weight, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, FBS, HbA1c, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, IL6, IL2, and the atherogenic index was found to be positive and significant. Meanwhile, only IGF-1 was significantly correlated with IL10. We conclude that elevated levels of IL2, IL6, IL 10 and their association with both GH and IGF-1 as well as to lipid disorder, hyperglycemia, and hypertension criteria of acromegaly patients are all risk factors for cardiovascular disease, suggesting the necessary clinical examination for cardiovascular disorder in patients with acromegaly patients.
In this study, NaOH dissolution method was applied to dissolve cellulose fibers which extracted from date palm fronds (type Al-Zahdi) taken from Iraqi gardens. In this process, (NaOH)-solution is brought into contact with the cellulose fibers at low temperature. Experiments were conducted with different concentrations of NaOH (4%, 6%, 8% and12%) weight percent at two cooling bath temperatures (-15 oC) and (-20oC). Maximum cellulose dissolution was 23 wt% which obtained at 8 wt% concentration of NaOH and at cooling bath temperature of -20oC. In order to enhance the cellulose fibers dissolution, the sample was pretreated with Fenton's reagent which consists of

Since man has found multiple forms of simple predictive predictions, fruitful predictive results have emerged, such as weather forecasting or trading on stock exchange. The research was organized by defining the problem, which was manifested by the question:

For example, concepts of convergence, best approximate, uniformly convexity etc. And then, two results about relation between semi compactness and approximation are proved which are used to prove a theorem on the existence of best approximation for a semi-compact subset of b-modular space.
Theater is described as a form of human expression, and an important human necessity, through which the needs of individuals and societies are expressed, and an important mediator for the transfer of educational, social and intellectual dimensions. Hence, the importance of the child’s theater emerged as a guiding educational method that affects the child’s development educationally, emotionally, psychologically and socially through imaginative play that combines enjoyment and entertainment.
