Oxidative stress (OS) may affect in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). The aim of this study is to explore the possible relationships between OS parameters in serum and follicular fluid (FF) from infertile women with male cause infertility (n=40), women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (n=40), and women with unexplained infertility (UI)(n=45) undergoing IVF/ICSI. The collection of blood and FF samples was done at the day of oocyte aspiration. Total peroxide (TPX) level, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) level were measured in serum and FF; whereas, glutathione-s-transferase (GST) activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured in FF. Also, oxidative stress index (OSI) that is the percentage ratio of TPX to TAC, was calculated. In the control group, correlation analysis reveals the presence of a significant positive association between FF OSI with serum OSI, FF TPX with FF OSI, and serum TPX with FF GST activity. In the PCOS group, there was a significant negative association between: FF TPX and serum TAC level. However, non-significant relationship was found between serum and FF OS status parameters in the UI group. It’s concluded from the present study that systemic OS may give valuable information about local OS occurrence (blood OS reflects FF OS) only in control group and PCOS group. Such information could be useful for a better understanding of the pathological OS mechanisms involved in IVF failure for patients with different causes of infertility.
In modules there is a relation between supplemented and π-projective semimodules. This relation was introduced, explained and investigated by many authors. This research will firstly introduce a concept of "supplement subsemimodule" analogues to the case in modules: a subsemimodule Y of a semimodule W is said to be supplement of a subsemimodule X if it is minimal with the property X+Y=W. A subsemimodule Y is called a supplement subsemimodule if it is a supplement of some subsemimodule of W. Then, the concept of supplemented semimodule will be defined as follows: an S-semimodule W is said to be supplemented if every subsemimodule of W is a supplemen

The management of gingival recession and its sequelae is based on a thorough assessment of the etiological factors and the degree of tissue involvement.
This research aims to deal with contemporary knowledge methodology to correlate between operations strategy and technological change or modernization in productive paths for industrial organizations depend on practical indicators for competitive priorities that is objectives of operations performance.
The research is based on main hypothesis, concentrates on determination of technological change which is decided by the level of technology deterioration in current operations path compared with the competitors leaders-technology leaders.
We apply these concepts on hypothetical case to two similar companies in their production nature and te

During the course of fixed orthodontic therapy, patients should be instructed to eat specific food stuffs and beverages in order to maintain good health for the dentition and supporting structures and prevent frequent attachment debonding that prolong the treatment duration. After searching and collecting articles from 1930 till July 2021, the current review was prepared to emphasize various types of foods that should be taken during the course of fixed orthodontic therapy and to explain the effect of various food stuffs and beverages on the growth and development of craniofacial structures, tooth surfaces, root resorption, tooth movement, retention and stability after orthodontic treatment and the effect on the components of fixed ortho

Background :The retroperitoneal tumors is usually confined to lesions arising from tissues (muscles, fat, lymph nodes, nerves, and, developmental remnant) of this compartment but excluding origin from the retroperitoneal organs (panaceas, kidney, ureters and adrenals). The aim of the study is to focus a light on the types of retroperitoneal tumors, ways of the investigations and the presentations.
