Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment Using Vaginal Fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm)
...Show More Authors

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is involuntary urine leakage during activities that increase abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing and lifting of heavy weights. This is a very common disorder among women with history of multiple vaginal deliveries with an obstructed labor. SUI is considered one of the most distressing problems, especially for younger women, with severe quality of life implications, it caused by the loss of urethral support, usually as a consequence of the supporting structural muscles in the pelvis.

Objective: To prove and demonstrate the effect of a fractional CO2 micro-ablative laser (10600nm) in intra vaginal therapy for treating SUI and achieve a clinical improvement of the urogenital system support.

Methods: This is a prospective, observational study which was conducted over six month from the 1st . of July to 29th of December 2016 in Consultation Gynecologist Clinic in Al-Hila city, Iraq, in patients who complain of SUI. Twenty female patients were included in the study, their age ranged from 30- 69 year, at range (49.5 year ) fifteen patient delivered vaginally, two delivered by cesarean section, two had combined delivery and one was Nulliparous ,all of them received the same treatment protocol. Detailed history about continence assessment, quality of life and sexuality before and after therapy. The fractional CO2 Aphrodite laser was used. The parameters used in each session were energy/(dot)pixel 119.4mJ, pulse duration 900 μs, frequancy1000Hz, and exposure time 300ms /shot with average of shots 34 and in range 26-42, in three sessions four weeks apart between them. The patients were followed for three months started from the beginning of the second session to one month after the last session.

 Results: Thirty-five percent of patients 35%(n=7) were cured ,and these 35% included all patients delivered by cesarean section and one third of patients who delivered vaginally and extensively most of patients were 60%(n=12) improved of their SUI. Patient reported no leakage any more while coughing or sneezing. Only 5%(n=1) not responded was menopause women.

Conclusions: This study shows that micro-ablative fractional CO2 laser is effective can produce a remodeling of vaginal connective tissue without causing damage to surrounding tissue and the group of patients with continence disorder without vaginal delivery achieved marked improvement .

An Analysis of Stress Distribution in a Spline Shaft Subjected to Cycilc Impulsive Load
...Show More Authors

In this paper the effect of engagement length, number of teeth, amount of applied load, wave propagation time, number of cycles, and initial crack length on the principal stress distribution, velocity of crack propagation, and cyclic crack growth rate in a spline coupling subjected to cyclic torsional impact have been investigated analytically and experimentally. It was found that the stresses induced due to cyclic impact loading are higher than the stresses induced due to impact loading with high percentage depends on the number of cycles and total loading time. Also increasing the engagement length and the number of teeth reduces the principal stresses (40%) and
(25%) respectively for increasing the engagement length from (0.15 to 0

Laser Improves Biogas Production by Anaerobic Digestion of Cow Dung
...Show More Authors

This study investigates the digestion of cow dung (CD) for biogas production at laboratory scales. The study was carried out through anaerobic fermentation using cow dung as substrate. The digester was operated at ambient temperatures of 39.5 °C for a period of 10 days. The effect of iron powder in controlling the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been tested. The optimum concentration of iron powder was 4g/L with the highest biogas production. A Q – swatch Nd:YAG laser has been used to mix and homogenize the components of one of the six digesters and accelerate digestion. At the end of digestion, all digestions effluent was subjected to 5 laser pulses with 250mJ/pules to dispose waste biomass.

Error Analysis of Stonex X300 Laser Scanner Close-range Measurements
...Show More Authors

This research reports an error analysis of close-range measurements from a Stonex X300 laser scanner in order to address range uncertainty behavior based on indoor experiments under fixed environmental conditions. The analysis includes procedures for estimating the precision and accuracy of the observational errors estimated from the Stonex X300 observations and conducted at intervals of 5 m within a range of 5 to 30 m. The laser 3D point cloud data of the individual scans is analyzed following a roughness analysis prior to the implementation of a Levenberg–Marquardt iterative closest points (LM-ICP) registration. This leads to identifying the level of roughness that was encountered due to the range-finder’s limitations in close
