Objective(s): The study aims to assess the early detection of early detection of first degree relatives to type-II
diabetes mellitus throughout the diagnostic tests of Glycated Hemoglobin A1C. (HgbA1C), Oral Glucose Tolerance
Test (OGTT) and to find out the relationship between demographic data and early detection of first degree
relatives to type-II diabetes mellitus.
Methodology: A purposive "non-probability" sample of (200) subjects first degree relatives to type-II diabetes
mellitus was selected from National Center for Diabetes Mellitus/Al-Mustansria University and Specialist Center
for Diabetes Mellitus and Endocrine Diseases/Al-kindy. These related persons have presented the age of (40-70)
years old. A questionnaire was constructed for the purpose of the study, it is composed of (3) major parts, and
overall items, which are included in the questionnaire are (76) items. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire
were determined through a pilot study which is carried out during the period of August, 1
st
, 2008 to February, 30th
2009. The study instrument and structured interview technique were used as means of data collection. The data
were analyzed through the application of the descriptive statistical data analysis approach (Frequency and
Percentage) and the inferential statistical data analysis approach Chi-square, Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: The results of the study confirmed that the mean of age is (55.7) year, and the majority of the sample are
male, first degree relatives with diabetes mellitus type-II are within positive bio-social aspect and laboratory
screening had an effect on the incidence of diabetes mellitus type-II for first degree relatives to type-II diabetes
mellitus.
Recommendations: The study recommends that the number of diabetes centers should be increased in Baghdad
and Governorates, promote of HbA1c test from general hospitals laboratories, guide notebook about the
predisposing factors of diabetes mellitus in his family, periodic screening for pre-diabetes and diabetes in high risk,
asymptomatic, undiagnosed adults within the health care setting, prevention program to prevent and control on
the predisposing risk factors for nondependent diabetes mellitus type-II and complication
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most frequent endocrinal disease commonly associated with thyroid disorders .The study is conducted at the Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes in Baghdad ,during December 2014 up to October 2015.This study was done to investigate the prevalence of anti- thyroid peroxidase (Anti-TPO) antibody in patients suffered from type 2 diabetes with thyroid disorders .The study groups included a total number of 80 subjects consisting of 60 type 2 diabetic patients divided into 20 hyperthyroidism subjects (group 1) ,20 hypothyroidism subjects (group 2), 20 euthyroidism subjects (group 3) and 20 healthy controls (group 4) . The fasting blood samples were analyzed for (T3,T4,TSH) by using Vitek Immuno d

Show MoreBackground: (ABO) Blood type have an effect on general health including oral health as salivary physicochemical characteristics differ among different type of blood and as consequence these affect the severity of dental caries. The aim of the present study is an assessment of the prevalence of caries experience among different blood type in relation to salivary physicochemical characteristic. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and fifty females' college students in Al-Qadisyia University aged 18 years old were selected on random basis; they were divided to four groups according to their blood type, Dental experience was diagnosed and recorded according to DMFs (Mülemman, 1976) Index, this allows recording decayed lesion by severity.

Show MorePhotodecomposition of dichlorobis N [4-Azo benzene aniline)2-hydroxy benzilidene] Copper (II) (Complexe A1) and dichloro N[2-Azo 3- sulphonic -2- naphthol) 6- carboxylic 2- hydroxy benzilidene] copper (II) (Complex A2).have been performed at λ = 373 nm for complex A1and at λ = 358 nm for complex A2 in dimethyl sulphoxide at 25C◦. the absorbance spectrum of these complexes have been recorded with time of irradiation in order to examine the kinetics of photodecay. The apparent rate constant (Kd) for the first order reaction has been calculated and found to be 1.1 ×10-2 min-1 for complexe A1 and 2.34 × 10-2 min-1 for camplexe A2. the primary quantum yields (Ø ) ha

Show MoreThis paper discusses estimating the two scale parameters of Exponential-Rayleigh distribution for singly type one censored data which is one of the most important Rights censored data, using the maximum likelihood estimation method (MLEM) which is one of the most popular and widely used classic methods, based on an iterative procedure such as the Newton-Raphson to find estimated values for these two scale parameters by using real data for COVID-19 was taken from the Iraqi Ministry of Health and Environment, AL-Karkh General Hospital. The duration of the study was in the interval 4/5/2020 until 31/8/2020 equivalent to 120 days, where the number of patients who entered the (study) hospital with sample size is (n=785). The number o

Characterization of these compounds has been done on the basis of elemental analysis,electronic data, FT-IR,UV-Vis and 1 HNMR, as well as magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The nature of thecomplexes formed were studies following the mole ratio and continuous variation methods, Beer ' s law obeyed over a concentrationrange (1x10 -4 - 3x10 -4 M). High molar absorbtivity of the complex solutions were observed. From the analytical data, thestoichiomerty of the complexes has been found to be 1:2 (Metal:ligand). On the basis of physicochemical data tetrahedral

Then to define some special mathematical and statistical properties for this new mixture distribution which is considered one of the continuous distributions characterized by its flexibility. Next, using maximum likelihood estimator method for singly type one censored data based on the Newton-Raphson matrix procedure to find and estimate values of these three parameter by utilizing the real data taken from the National Center for Research and Treatment of Hematology/University of Mus

The Jeribe and Fatha successions were deposited during Middle Miocene age. This study includes microfacies analysis, depositional environments, sequence stratigraphy and basin development of Early – middle Miocene in Hamrin and Ajeel oil fields and Mansuriyha Gas Field. The study area includes four boreholes in three oil fields located in central Iraq: Hamrin (Hr-2) and Ajeel (Aj-13, and 19) oil feilds, and Mansuriyha (Ms-2) Gas Field. Five facies associations were distinguished within the studied fields: deep marine, slop, platform-margin, open marine, restricted interior platform
