Effect of Atorvastatin on Bone biochemical markers in dyslipidemic patients, Basra, Iraq
...Show More Authors

Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate the action atorvastatin(20mg/day) on bone biochemical markers dyslipidemic men. Methodology: This study was conducted between May 2015 and November 2015 in Al-Basrah General hospital in Basra, Iraq, to evaluate important role of atorvastatin (20mg/day)(Lipitor® Pfizer Pharma GmbH.Germany) on bone biochemical markers. Thirty men patients who had been admitted for a variety of medical problems included in the study. All the patients had previously been diagnosed with Dyslipidemia by specialist physician in internal medicine and all patients age below 55 years . the inclusion criteria for the experimental group was use of atorvastatin for at least three months; the study group was then compared to age-matched healthy men .bone biochemical markers were compared between groups. Results are expressed mean ± SD; statistically Student’s t test was used to compare variables. Results: The mean age of the statin group was 44.5 ± 5.9 and control group was 45.7 ± 4.4.After 3 months treatment with atorvastatin, as in table (1) and figures (1-8) Surprisely level of serum total cholesterol remain significantly higher than value of normal healthy group. LDL value significantly reduced by treatment but still significantly higher than values of normal group. HDL value were significantly higher than that of its initial values, but level of HDL ;after treatment; was not significantly different from that of normal group. Triglycerides was not significantly changed by treatment and its value still significantly higher than normal group. Vit D level was not significantly change by treatment and its value was significantly lower than normal group. Osteocalcin was elevated significantly by treatment; and this elevation was significantly as compared with its initial value and with that of normal group. Amino Terminal telopeptide procollagen type I (NTX-I) was not significantly change by treatment and its value still significantly higher than normal group and before treatment values. Also body mass index value was not significantly changed by treatment. Recommendations: Further studies are recommended to confirm the positive effects of atorvastatin and other statins on bone biochemical markers with larger number of patients and longer period of follow up. Also other bone formation and resorption markers are recommended to determine the expected mechanisms of action of statins on bone remodeling processes.

Levothyroxine Therapy Adequacy, Dose Estimation and Vitamin D Effect Assessment in a Sample of Iraqi Female Patients with Different Causes of Hypothyroidism
...Show More Authors

Exogenous levothyroxine dose modulation and euthyroidism achievement is a persistent challenge in clinical settings. This study strives to assess the adequacy of treatment and identify the patients’ factors that can be used to estimate the euthyroid levothyroxine dose. A secondary objective was to assess vitamin D supplementation impact on thyroid status.

A review of a prospectively collected information from 142 female patients from Baghdad Center of Nuclear Medicine from June 2019 until March 2020 who were receiving levothyroxine for different causes was done. After a follow-up period, the patients’ thyroid tests were assessed and the euthyroid doses for each cause category were statistically analyzed. Thyroid function was

It is believed that culture plays an important role in the ELF classroom activities (Al- Mutawa, & Kilani, 1989:87). It is important for the teacher to recognize potential negative (culturally based) perceptions of their learners. In Iraq, for instance, it is not. Uncommon to meet silent expressionless students that arc supposedly English language learners. It is possible for the beginner to interpret this negatively as a lack of interest in the study of English. This interpretation may play a harmful role in the classroom methodology. An instructor has to be intercultural competent to be an effective teacher. It will be more effective if the instructor adopts a consistent style of instruction to allow learners to adapt within the bounds of

A mathematical model constructed to study the combined effects of the concentration and the thermodiffusion on the nanoparticles of a Jeffrey fluid with a magnetic field effect the process of containing waves in a three-dimensional rectangular porous medium canal. Using the HPM to solve the nonlinear and coupled partial differential equations. Numerical results were obtained for temperature distribution, nanoparticles concentration, velocity, pressure rise, pressure gradient, friction force and stream function. Through the graphs, it was found that the velocity of fluid rises with the increase of a mean rate of volume flow and a magnetic parameter, while the velocity goes down with the increasing a Darcy number and lateral walls. Also, t
