Assessment of Levels of Metabolic Hormones and Lipid Profile in Growth Hormone Deficient Patients
...Show More Authors

Abstract

The current study aims to evaluate levels of metabolic hormones and lipid profile in a sample of growth hormone (GH) deficient patients. Seventy five GH deficient patients and twenty healthy subjects used as control group have been participated in this study during their attendance to the National Diabetic Center for Treatment and Research/Al-Mustansiriya University. The studied subjects’ ages were with a range (3-15 years). Blood samples were collected from the studied subjects to determine levels of basal GH, GH2 and GH3 after 1 hr and 1/30 hr provocation with clonidine, respectively; insulin like growth factor (IGF-1); levels of metabolic hormones [thyroid profile: triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxin (T4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)]; and lipid profile [cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)].

The findings of the anthropometric measurements of the studied groups revealed that a non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in the weight between the patients and the control, while the mean of height in the patients was significantly (P<0.05) lower than its value in the control. Mean of BMI detected a non-significant (P>0.05) difference between the patients and the control. While mean of BMI percentile and mean of BMI Z-score revealed significant (P<0.05) decrease in the patients compared to their values in the control.

The results showed that non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in level of basal GH between the patients and the control, while a high significant (P<0.01) decrease was found in levels of GH2 and GH3 in the patients group compared to the control group. Level of IGF-1 showed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in the patients compared to the control.

The results of metabolic hormones revealed a non-significant (P>0.05) difference in serum T3 between the patients and the control, while a high significant (P<0.01) decrease was found in serum T4 in the patients compared to the control.  A non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in serum TSH between the patients and the control. The data of serum cortisol showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the patients compared to the control.

The results of lipid profile showed a non-significant (P>0.05) difference in serum cholesterol between the patients and the control, while triglyceride showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the patients compared to the control. A non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in serum HDL between the patients and the control, while a significant (P<0.05) increase was found in levels of LDL and VLDL in the patients compared to the control.

It can be concluded from the present study that diagnosis of GHD cannot be done at the basal serum of GH.  A high level of GH was detected after 1 hr. provocation with clonidine compared with its value after 1/30 hr. provocation. The IGF-1 is an appropriate parameter to expect GHD in children and adolescences whom GHD was detected by GH stimulation testing. Low GH secretion is associated with high level of cortisol resulting in GHD.  Patients with GHD displayed a tendency towards lipids disturbances.

Autoimmunity and the Terroristic Schemes in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code
...Show More Authors

From a medical perspective, autoimmunity reflects the abnormal behaviour of a human being. This state is shaped when the defense of an organism betrays its own tissues. Allegedly, the immune system should protect the body against attacking cells. When an autoimmune disease attacks, it results in perilous actions like self-destruction. However, from a psychological perspective, the French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) explains that autoimmunity harms both the self and the other. As a result, the organ disarms the betraying cells, as the immune system cannot provide necessary protection. From a literary perspective, Derrida has termed autoimmunity as deconstruction for almost forty years. Autoimmunity starts with the stage of a norm

Cultural harmony and its in contemporary Mexican painting: حمدية كاظم روضان المعموري
...Show More Authors

  We live in a world where cultures and visions overlap .. Therefore, every society seeks to create a harmonization that is in line with the data of those special cultures and reproduces those cultures and defines their paths. There are cultures based on historical action and experience and others that work on historical displacement, and art is one of the most important means of transmitting cultures and establishing their aesthetic harmony. This research is concerned with studying (cultural patterns and their representations in contemporary Mexican painting) and it falls into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to explaining the research problem, its importance, the need for it, the goal of the research, and identifying th

Naturally occurring radioactive materials and related hazard indices in Ahdeb oil field
...Show More Authors

In this work, measurements of activity concentration of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) isotopes and their related hazard indices for several materials such as crude oil, sludge and water in Ahdeb oil fields in Waste governorate using high pure germanium coaxial detection technique. The average values for crude oil samples were174.72Bq/l, 43.46Bq/l, 355.07Bq/l, 264.21Bq/l, 122.52nGy/h, 0.7138, 1.1861, 0.601 mSv/y, 0.1503mSv/y and 1.8361 for Ra-226, Ac-228, K-40, Ra eq, D, H-external and H-internal respectively. According to the results; the ratio between 238U to 232Th was 4, which represents the natural ratio in the crust earth; therefore, one can be strongly suggested that the geo-stricture of the

Background: quality of life of cancer survivors is adversely impacted by bowel toxicity; result from pelvic radiation therapy. In the UK, 12000 patients are treated with radiation therapy for pelvic cancer, mostly with curative intent; this carries a considerable risk for normal surrounding tissues side effects.
Objective: the aim of this study was to determine the frequency, types and grade of acute gastrointestinal toxicity in radical pelvic radiation therapy in our patients so that a comparison could be made with the Western countries.

Shadow Elimination in Soccer Game Video using Background Subtraction and Sobel Operators
...Show More Authors

Object detection in real time is considered as a challenging problem. However, it is very important in a wide range of applications, especially in field of multimedia. The players and ball are the most important objects in soccer game videos and detecting them is a challenging task because of many difficulties, such as shadow and illumination, ball size, ball occluded by players or merged with lines, and similar appearance of players. To overcome these problems, we present a new system to detect the players and ball in real-time by using background subtraction and Sobel detection. The results were more accurate and approximately two times faster than those using only background subtraction.

A Review Study on Forgery and Tamper Detection Techniques in Digital Images
...Show More Authors

Digital tampering identification, which detects picture modification, is a significant area of image analysis studies. This area has grown with time with exceptional precision employing machine learning and deep learning-based strategies during the last five years. Synthesis and reinforcement-based learning techniques must now evolve to keep with the research. However, before doing any experimentation, a scientist must first comprehend the current state of the art in that domain. Diverse paths, associated outcomes, and analysis lay the groundwork for successful experimentation and superior results. Before starting with experiments, universal image forensics approaches must be thoroughly researched. As a result, this review of variou
