Study About the Causative Agents of Cervical Infections and Cytopathological Changes in Iraqi Women
...Show More Authors

Cervical infections are common problems among women, specially of reproductive age,  in Iraq ,and are one of numerous risk factors for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer .

   The aim of this study was to investigate the causative agents of cervicitis and their association with cytopathological changes among 67 cases of women, aged from 16 to 60 years, who attended the  National Cancer Research Center / University of Baghdad, Iraq , during the period from April to December 2018  .

     The age group 36-40 had the highest percentage of cervical infections 13/16 (81.3%) while the age group 56-60 had the lowest percentage 2/6 (33.3%).

     Specific microbial inflammations were found in 51/67(76.1%) of the cases, as detected by microbiological examinations,   while 49/67(73.13%) were of non-specific inflammations. The main causative agent of cervical infections was Candida albicans: 36/67(53.7%) fallowed by : Neisseria gonorhoeae 5/67(7.5%) , enteric bacteria 6/67( 8.9%) and Trichomonas vaginalis 4/67(5.9%),.

      The cyto-diagnosis , as detected by using pap smears examination, revealed  some  cases 6/67(8.9%)  of suggestive of human papillomavirus HPV(Koilocytotic Atypia) with ASCUS (Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance ) mixed with monillia infections and only two of these cases showed  CIN1 (Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia ) 2/67( 2.98%).

  The other cytopathological finding was atypical dysplasia of endocervical epithelial cell which showed in cases 18/36(50%) of monillia infections, 2/4(50%) of Trichomonas infections,3/6(50%) of enteric infections and in 4/5(80%) of Neisseria infections .While atypical Metaplasia found in cases 6/36(16.7%) of monillia infections ,1/6(16.7) of enteric infections and 1/5(20%) of Neisseria infections. There was only 1/36(2.8%) of AGUS (Atypical Glandular Cells of Undetermined Significance) found in case of monillia infections. Benign looking  of cervical cells , as resulted in pap smear tests , mostly found in cases of  Trichomonas infections 2/4(50%) , while showed in 2/6(33.3%)   of enteric infections and  in11/36(30.6%) of monillia infections. There were no benign looking cells of cervical in cases of Neisseria infections. Meanwhile, no women had adenocarcinoma according to Bethesda classification during this study.

   Although there was no incidence of cervical malignant cells seen in our study and only few cases showed CIN1(premalignant disease of the cervix), cytological screening should gain much popularity and should be accessible to all in order to prevent such serious  pathological problems.

 In Iraq, more attention should be paid for the important causation of cervicitis in women suffering from it because inflammatory and atypical changes on cervical cytology among women tested often indicate the presence of a sexually acquired infection.

Second Harmonic Generation of 266 nm Laser Beam Using BBO Nonlinear Crystal
...Show More Authors

Second harmonic generation (SHG) is a phenomenon observed in nonlinear optics that leads to frequency duplication for a high intensity laser incident on nonlinear crystal using BBO crystal. The SHG yield is achieved when the photons interact with a nonlinear optical material and effectively combine to form new photons with double frequency, and therefore double energy and half wavelength. This paper is concerned with the establishment of an SHG experiment to govern the process of producing half-wavelength laser beam from the input one. The theoretical effort was extended to compute the efficiency by using MATLAB software based on mathematical relationships. The values of the conversion maximum efficiencies, which were computed as a funct

Optimization of process parameters for biodiesel production from three indigenous vegetable oils
...Show More Authors

Optimization procedures using a variety of input parameters have gotten a lot of attention, but using three non-edible seed oils of Jatropha (Jatropha curcas), Sesame (Sesamum indicum), and Sweet Almond (Prunusamygdalus dulcis) has a few advantages, including availability and non-food competitiveness. Optimizing a two-stage trans-esterification process using a sodium hydroxide-based catalyst at a fixed catalyst (1.0wt %) and temperature (60 oC) while varying molar ratio (1:3, 1:6, 1:12),  time (20–60 min), and mixing speed (500–1000 rpm), to produce optimal responses of yields were studied using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimization solution of molar ratio (1:3), time (40.9 min.),

Effects of Hematocrit on Blood Flow Through A Stenosed Human Carotid Artery
...Show More Authors

In this paper, the effects of hematocrit of red blood cells on blood flow through a stenosed human carotid artery was considered by taking blood as a Newtonian fluid. The governing equations on blood flow were derived. The mathematical content involved in the equations are the variables of interest such as number of stenosis , percentage of hematocrit  of red blood cells in the blood, flow rate, wall shear stress, and viscosity of the blood. Guided by medical data collected on the constraint of blood flow in stenosed human carotid arteries, the governing equations were used to check the effects of pressure gradient, wall shear stress, velocity, and volumetric flow rate of blood in the human carotid arteries. Also, the one-dimensiona

Dynamic Behavior of Machine Foundations on layered sandy soil under Seismic Loadings
...Show More Authors

In this paper, a dynamic investigation is done for strip, rectangular and square machine foundation at the top surface of two-layer dry sand with various states (i.e., loose on medium sand and dense on medium sand). The dynamic investigation is performed numerically using finite element programming, PLAXIS 3D. The soil is expected as a versatile totally plastic material that complies with the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. A harmonic load is applied at the base with an amplitude of 6 kPa at a frequency of (2 and 6) Hz, and seismic is applied with acceleration – time input of earthquake hit Halabjah city north of Iraq. A parametric study is done to evaluate the influence of changing L/B ratio (Length=12,6,3 m and width=3 m), type of sand

Urban improvement, a mechanism of tourism development: Tébessa (Algeria) as a model
...Show More Authors

The tourism industry has become, currently, an art, an industry and a science. It is also one of the components that make up touristic regions. Tourist attractions are no longer the exclusive visits of museums and archeological sites, but also involve other service facilities. It is, therefore, imperative that the authorities should become aware of the degradation of tourist resorts and prevent them from getting worse. Moreover, the authorities should take a set of decisions concerning the protection of the urban aspect with its historical, social, and environmental dimensions, as well as, adapting it to the modern requirements that can bring comfort to the citizens and tourists at physical and psychological levels.
