The objective of this study was to assess the levels of antiMullerian hormone (AMH), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosteron, luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) as markers of spermatogenesis between fertile and infertile males. This study was conducted at (AlRamadi Teaching Hospital for maternity and children) and included 136 males partners of infertile couples. Samples were classified according to the WHO criteria of semen analysis into three groups; Azoospermia, Oligospermia, and normal(control). Assay levels of these hormones were made in the serum and the semen of each sample. The results showed that the level of AMH in serum samples was non-significantly decreased (P>0.05) in both Azoospermia and Oligospermia groups compared to control (6.74±3.21 ng/ml and 6.01±0.25 ng/ml vs. 12.81±7.69 ng/ml). While FSH and LH levels, there were non-significantly(P > 0.05) increased in both azoospermia and Oligospermia compared to control (FSH: 12.11±8.14 mIU/ml and 7.22±6.06 mIU/mlvs.3.14±1.27 mIU/ml; LH: 10.04±7.23 mIU/ml and 7.62±3.30 mIU/ml vs.5.57±2.03mIU/ml).In addition, there were non- significant differences (P> 0.05) of testosterone hormone level among the studied groups. Such, there was a non-significant decreased level of E2 (P> 0.05) in both Azoospermia and Oligospermiagroups compared to control (170.49±37.57 ng/ml and 137.20±53.92 ng/ml vs. 194.91±41.66 ng/ml).İn contrast to semen samples, the results of AMH showed a significant (P< 0.05) decreased level in both Azoospermia and Oligospermia compared to control (8.24±4.17 ng/ml and 8.85±4.79 ng/ml vs. 13.33±0.77 ng/ml). FSH level was non-significant (P> 0.05) increased in Azoospermia and Oligospermia compared to control (3.97±1.91 mIU/ml and 4.09±2.50 mIU/ml vs. 2.47±1.29 mIU/ml). Such, there were non-significant (P> 0.05) increased levels of LH and testosterone hormones in both Azoospermia and control compared to Oligospermia (9.35±6.02 mIU/ml and 5.99±4.43 mIU/ml vs. 4.06±2.82 mIU/ml), and significant (P< 0.05) increased level of E2 in both Azoospermia and Oligospermia compared to control (241.36±35.32 ng/ml and 220.86±48.96 ng/ml vs. 170.71±73.52 ng/ml).The study concluded that the AMH, FSH and E2 hormones levels in serum and semen samples may have been associated with the sperm production and may be a good marker for spermatogenesis, as well as Sertoli cell development. In addition, the age played a critical role in the level of the studied hormones.
The current study aimed to identify key consumer rights and the nature of the work of organizations and traders in the Algerian market through the opinions of the study sample. To prove the hypotheses the researcher depended on the data obtained by the questionnaire prepared for this purpose. She distributed 384 questionnaires out of which only 300 were returned.
The data were analyzed using several statistical techniques such as the Statistical Package for Social Studies system, in addition to percentages, frequencies, and standard deviation.
And a number of conclusions and recommendations were presented. The most important results are:
- There is a strong correlation between safety and compensation rights.
- There is a st
Abstract
The increasing of some traded Agricultural crops prices coincide with the increasing of crude oil prices in global market since the beginning of 21st century which indicate the possibility of short run and long run causality relation between the imported economic variables. The study aims to analysis the causality effects between some of Agricultural crops prices imported by Iraq and the prices of crude oil and Iraq dinar exchange rate in global markets for period (2004:1 -2016:4) theory for developing the adequate price and economic police for Iraqi economic sector. The results show the existence of short- run and long- run between the eco

This study consists of two parts, field and experimental. In field part; cadmium concentrations were measured in soil and parsley Petroselinum crispum samples of five different agricultural areas in Baghdad city. These areas were located in Al-Rashdiah, Tounis quarter, Al-Shamasiah quarter, Al-Itaifiah and Al-Twaithah. Soil cadmium concentrations were (1.72, 1.25, 1.52, 3.45 and 3.33) mg/kg in Al- Rashdiya, Tunis quarter, Al- Shamasiya quarter, Al- Attaifiya and Al-Tuaithah respectively, while concentrations in parsley were (0.28, 0.26, 0.28, 0.39 and 0.38) mg/kg respectively. Experimentally, five groups of albino mice males (10 mice each) were administered with different concentrations of cadmium (0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 7.5) mg Cd/kg

Accordingly, this paper aims to study the relationship between the crescent visibility factors (age, lag time, elongation (ARCL), arc of vision or relative altitude (ARCV), relative azimuth (DAZ), and crescent width (W), with coordinates of the sun and the moon), and how it varies during the day of the crescent's observation. In this paper, Matlab programs were designed to calculate the ecliptic sun and moon coordinates (λ, β) and in the presence of all perturbation impacts (planets), th

Psoriasis symptoms are not associated with physical burden only, but it may also have psychosocial effects on patients, diminished cognitive control, poor body image and impairments in everyday life. The value of quality of life is important since improving it is the principal goal for non-curative disease. The aim of the current study was to evaluate quality of life in a sample of Iraqi patients with psoriasis. This study is a cross-sectional study that involved 300 already diagnosed psoriasis patients who attended to the center of Dermatology and Venereology, Medical City/Baghdad.
