TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMATIC CERVICAL ECTOPY USING CO2 LASER (10600 nm) – Case Study
...Show More Authors

Background: Cervical ectopy advanced to erosion is one of the common conditions in gynecological and pathological study. It is considered as a physiologic condition resulting from columnar epithelium migration from the cervical canal into the vaginal portion of the cervix, in which no treatment for asymptomatic cervical ectropion can be given. Treatment can be accomplished via thermal cauterization (Electro cautery), Cryosurgery. CO2 laser therapy is another modality of treatment.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of CO2 laser therapy and evaluate it as a biomedical tool for the treatment of cervical ectropion. The study was done at Laser Medicine Research Clinic at the Institute of Laser for Postgraduate Studies, University of Baghdad during a period of three months from (1st August  to 30th October) 2018.

Methods: Ten female Patients with age range between 22 to 40 years old who attended the private clinic or the outpatient clinic of Al-Imamain Al-Kadhmain Medical City and diagnosed with cervical ectropion. Patients were diagnosed clinically as having cervical ectropion. Pap smear was done   to   all   patients at the Department of Health (Pap smear unit) at Al-Imamain Al-Kadhmain Medical City in order to exclude an underlying dysplasia. The patients were subjected to CO2 laser therapy at a continuous mode. All patients were subjected to continuous wave laser and the range of power from 5 up to 10 Watt. The exposure time ranged from 1-2 minutes.

Results: From all studied patients only three had mild bleeding during procedure and there was no pain reported during procedure except mild pain in two patients. So, simple analgesia (mefenamic acid 500 mg.) was given to them. No need for a prophylactic antibiotic in all patients.  After two weeks follow up, the findings were slight vaginal discharge, no slough. Complete healing of erosion was noticed by the 4th week after procedure.

Conclusion: Laser therapy with CO2 10600nm at specific parameters was effective in treating women with cervical ectropion, which was non-invasive and acceptable by the women as a method of treatment, by laser we can treat precisely the affected area without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue.

An Investigation Study of Tool Geometry in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) and their effect on Residual Stresses Using ANOVA Model
...Show More Authors

Incremental forming is a flexible sheet metal forming process which is performed by utilizing simple tools to locally deform a sheet of metal along a predefined tool path without using of dies. This work presents the single point incremental forming process for producing pyramid geometry and studies the effect of tool geometry, tool diameter, and spindle speed on the residual stresses. The residual stresses were measured by ORIONRKS 6000 test measuring instrument. This instrument was used with four angles of (0º,15º,30º, and 45º) and the average value of residual stresses was determined, the value of the residual stress in the original blanks was (10.626 MPa). The X-ray diffraction technology was used to measure the residual stresses

Physical principles of laser–material interaction regimes for laser machining processes
...Show More Authors

Lasers, with their unique characteristics in terms of excellent beam quality, especially directionality and coherency, make them the solution that is key for many processes that require high precision. Lasers have good susceptibility to integrate with automated systems, which provides high flexibility to reach difficult zones. In addition, as a processing tool, a laser can be considered as a contact-free tool of precise tip that became attractive for high precision machining at the micro and nanoscales for different materials. All of the above advantages may be not enough unless the laser technician/engineer has enough knowledge about the mechanism of interaction between the laser light with the processed material. Several sequential phenom

Hexapod Robot Static Stability Enhancement using Genetic Algorithm
...Show More Authors

Abstract

Hexapod robot is a flexible mechanical robot with six legs. It has the ability to walk over terrain. The hexapod robot look likes the insect so it has the same gaits. These gaits are tripod, wave and ripple gaits. Hexapod robot needs to stay statically stable at all the times during each gait in order not to fall with three or more legs continuously contacts with the ground. The safety static stability walking is called (the stability margin). In this paper, the forward and inverse kinematics are derived for each hexapod’s leg in order to simulate the hexapod robot model walking using MATLAB R2010a for all gaits and the geometry in order to derive the equations of the sub-constraint workspaces for each

Image Compression Using 3-D Two-Level Techniques
...Show More Authors

In this paper three techniques for image compression are implemented. The proposed techniques consist of three dimension (3-D) two level discrete wavelet transform (DWT), 3-D two level discrete multi-wavelet transform (DMWT) and 3-D two level hybrid (wavelet-multiwavelet transform) technique. Daubechies and Haar are used in discrete wavelet transform and Critically Sampled preprocessing is used in discrete multi-wavelet transform. The aim is to maintain to increase the compression ratio (CR) with respect to increase the level of the transformation in case of 3-D transformation, so, the compression ratio is measured for each level. To get a good compression, the image data properties, were measured, such as, image entropy (He), percent root-
