Treatment of Striae Grvidarum as a Type of Striae Distensae Using Long Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser (1064nm) and Fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm)
...Show More Authors

Striae distensae SD or stretch mark are frequent skin lesion that cause considerable aesthetic concern. The 1064nm long pulsed Nd:YAG Laser has been used to promote an increase in dermal collagen and is known to be a Laser that has a high affinity to vascular chromphores. Also by using fractional CO2 Laser 10600nm as an effective modality in treatment of striae distensae SD. It works to stimulate fibroblast and enhance Collagen formation, which is important for newly generated skin tissue.

Objectives: This study aims to verify the efficacy of long pulsed Nd: YAG Laser (1064nm) in the treatment of immature striae distensae (SD) and the efficacy of C02 fractional Laser (10600nm) in treatment of mature striae distensae SD.

Patient and methods: Ten female patients with striae distensae (SD) in the abdomen formed during pregnancy period five of them had immature or recent type of striae were treated by long pulse Nd: YAG Laser 1064nm and the others  five patient had mature type of striae were treated by fractional Co2 Laser (10600nm). This study done in Laser medicine research clinic of institute of Laser for post graduate studies from July 2018 to the end of November 2018. The Age of patients range from 20-40 years old. The Laser parameter used for fractional Co2 Laser (10600nm) was 18 Watts power. Pulse duration 1.3ms, interval 1ms, with distance 1.1mm, the procedure was done under topical anesthesia (EMLA) and the number of sessions done were three sessions of one month interval. The parameter used for long pulse ND: YAG Laser (1064nm) was (51.J) energy in the first session and (70.J) in the second, pulse duration (30ms) frequency (2Hz) with spot size (10mm) with two weeks interval between the sessions, three sessions were used for every patient.

Results: The patient treated by fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm) had a change in the shape and texture of striae distensae SD from first session, and there was noticeable change  occurred in the second session regarding texture and color of striae that became faint. The patient  treated with long pulse Nd:YAG(1064nm) had good result from the second session in which the S.D line became faint with change in texture. With no or mild side effect of treatment, 90% of all patient are fully satisfied with treatment only 10% of patient showed partial satisfaction. 10% of patient had hyperpigmentation.

Conclusion: Striae can be treated by Laser as an effective and safe method with less side effect with good patient satisfaction by long pulse Nd: YAG Laser (1064nm) and fractional Co2 Laser (10600nm) to treat immature and mature striae respectively.

Effect of partial substitution of alkaline oxides with lithium oxide (Li2O) on low-temperature ceramic glaze
...Show More Authors

The research aims to study the effect of adding (Li2O) to an alkaline glaze containing (K2O, Na2O). Although all the alkaline oxides have common properties, each oxide has something that distinguishes it. The molecular weight of (Li2O) is two times less than that of (Na2O) and three times that of (K2O). Therefore, it is added in small proportions. In addition, it is a very strong flux, so it is not used alone, but rather replaces a part of other alkaline oxides. It was added to an alkali glass that matured at a temperature of 980CO in proportions (2.0,1.4,1.2,0.8,0.4%) instead of (Na2O), using lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) as an oxide source. The glazes mixtures were applied to a white pottery body, and the samples were fired and cooled acc

Motivations of Volunteers in Jordan: An Exploratory Study Based on a Sample of University Students within the Context of their Social Relations
...Show More Authors

Volunteerism is an element included in many human cultures. It represents a positive cooperative act between individuals and groups. It expresses the social value systems. As a social phenomenon, it develops in societies according to innumerous circumstances and conditions. This study uses a functional approach that assumes that volunteering performs six functions for volunteers. Namely, we assume that volunteering (1) creates a sense of protection (2) meets significant cultural values (3) improves professional status of volunteers, (4) strengthens their social relationships, (5) helps them achieve a better understanding of life, and finally, (6) enhances their outlook and self-esteem. The central aim of the study is to discuss these fun

Glycemic Status in Acromegaly Patients Receiving Depot Long-Acting Octreotide
...Show More Authors

Background: Acromegaly is an uncommon, chronic, debilitating condition characterized by hyperinsulinism, insulin resistance, diabetes and prediabetes. One possibility for managing acromegaly's questionable influence on glucose homeostasis is the somatostatin analogues. Aim: To analyze the frequency and risk factors for impaired glucose homeostasis in acromegaly patients treated with depot long-acting octreotide (octreotide LAR), as well as the relationship between risk and treatment duration. Methods: The study included 52 Iraqi adults with acromegaly receiving octreotide LAR. Demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data were collected, as well as the duration of Octreotide LAR administration. Growth hormone, IGF-1, and adenoma si

...Show More Authors

Gas adsorption phenomenon on solid surface has been used as a mean in separation and purification of gas mixture depending on the difference in tendencies of each component in the gas mixture to be adsorbed on the solid surface according to its behaviour. This work concerns to study the possibilities to separate the gas mixture using adsorption-desorption phenomenon on activated carbon. The experimental results exhibit good separation factor at temperature of -40 .

Optimization of dye adsorption process for Albizia lebbeck pods as a biomass using central composite rotatable design model
...Show More Authors

Albizia lebbeck biomass was used as an adsorbent material in the present study to remove methyl red dye from an aqueous solution. A central composite rotatable design model was used to predict the dye removal efficiency. The optimization was accomplished under a temperature and mixing control system (37?C) with different particle size of 300 and 600 ?m. Highest adsorption efficiencies were obtained at lower dye concentrations and lower weight of adsorbent. The adsorption time, more than 48 h, was found to have a negative effect on the removal efficiency due to secondary metabolites compounds. However, the adsorption time was found to have a positive effect at high dye concentrations and high adsorbent weight. The colour removal effi
