Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the major cause of cancer related deaths among Iraqi women. Due to the relatively late detection of breast cancer, the majority of the patients are still treated by modified radicle mastectomy. Aim: To assess the time lag between diagnosis of breast cancer and mastectomy among Iraqi patients; correlating the findings with other clinicopathological characteristics of the disease. Patients and methods: This retrospective study enrolled 226 Iraqi female patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer. Data were registered on the exact time period between signing the histopathological report and the surgical treatment. Other recorded variables included the age of the patients, their level

To determine the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and skin disorders, sixty six patients who suffering from skin diseases include chronic urticarial (CU) and atopic dermatitis (AD) who attended at Dermatological Clinic/ Al-Numan Teaching Hospital from the beginning of October 2015 to the end of January 2016 with age (6-62) have been investigated and compared to twenty two samples of apparently healthy individuals were studied as control group. All the studied groups were subjected to measurement of antiHelicobacter pylori IgG antibodies by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) and detection of 16S rRNA and CagA genes by using singleplex and multiplex PCR methods. The results of current study revealed that there was a

T-cell activation and alteration of cytokine levels are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the profile of circulating T-lymphocyte subsets and related cytokines during asthmatic attacks is still unclear. We compared the serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines Interleukine-18( IL-18) and Interleukine-12(IL-12), T-helper 2 (Th2) cytokine Interleukine-13(IL-13 ) and Immunoglobuline-E ( IgE) in 27 asthmatic children and 21 sex and age matched healthy control subjects. Serum cytokines and IgE concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum IL-13 , IL-18 and IgE concentrations were significantly higher in asthmatic patients than normal control subjects ( IL-13: median 9.73 versus 4.43 pg/ml, P&l

Previous studies in Euro-American countries have shown that patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection have increased levels of neuropsychiatric symptoms. While chronic hepatitis C virus infection has been reported in Arab countries such as Iraq, there is little studies about the neuropsychological burden associated with chronic hepatitis C among patients in the Arab region. The aim of the current study was to measure the prevalence and level of severity of depression, anxiety and stress among a sample of chronic hepatitis C patients in AL-Najaf province /Iraq. The current study was cross-sectional study carried out on (110) already diagnosed chronic viral hepatitis C patients who attended the Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Type-1 diabetes is defined as destruction of pancreatic beta cell, virus and bacteria are some environmental factor for this disease. The study included 25 patients with type-1 diabetes mellitus aged between 8 – 25 years from Baghdad hospital and 20 healthy persons as control group. Anti-rubella IgG and IgM, anti-Chlamydia pneumonia IgG and IgM were measured by ELISA technique while anti-CMV antibody were measured by immunofluorescence technique. The aim of current study was to know the trigger factor for type-1 diabetes. There were significant differences (P<0.05) between studied groups according to parameters and the results lead to suggest that Chlamydia pneumonia, CMV and rubella virus may trigger type-1 diabetes mellitus in Iraqi pat

Diabetes mellitus type 2 [DMT2] is a disturbance of metabolism and complex diseases influenced by environmental, genetic agents, and linked with inflammation, happens when the pancreas either does not use the insulin as it should or the body does not make enough insulin, lead to insulin resistance [IR] alongside with gradual loss of ß-cell secretory ability. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of soluble L-selectin (sL-selectin) in diabetes mellitus type 2 patients in Iraqi Arabs patient. Study includes seventy six Iraqi Arabs patients (male and female) having newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with Fifty three Iraqi Arabs healthy subjects matched in age, sex and ethnic group. Patients and healthy subjec

يعد التقويم مبدأ مهماً في العملية التعليمية لأنه يساعد في التعرف على الاختلاف بين ما ينبغي تحقيقة وما تحقق فعلاً وما يترتب على ذلك من توصيات لدعم ما تحقق فعلاً (الأهداف التربوية) وتصحيح مسار العملية التعليمية من خلال المقترحات لتلافي السلبيات التي عثرت تحقيق الأهداف الأخرى وبما أن المحتوى هو أحد عناصر المنهج المهمة وهو وسيلة المعلم في أيصال المعلومات وبقائها في ذهن المتعلم أطول فترة ممكنه من خلال تبسيط المفا

ان للمنهج المدرسي أهمية كبيرة جداً في العملية التربوية لأنه أداتها في تحقيق الأهداف التربوية المنشودة والتي تعمل على تقدم المجتمع وتطوره في مختلف الجوانب. بمعنى ان المنهج غير ثابت بل متغير ليواكب التطور والتغير الحاصل في العالم والمجتمع وهذا يعني ان المنهج المدرسي بكل عناصره والتي من ضمنها المحتوى في تطور دائم فما يصلح لفترة زمنية معينة لا يصلح لفترة زمنية قادمة مما يستلزم القيام بعملية تقويمية بشكل مستمر و

ان الهدف من البحث الحالي هو تقويم كتاب الفيزياء للصف الرابع العلمي وفق معايير تصميم وانتاج الانفوجرافيك ومن اجل تحقيق هذا الهدف تم اختيار المنهج الوصفي(تحليل المحتوى) وحدد مجتمع البحث بكتاب الفيزياء للمرحلة الاعدادية الرابع العلمي, المقررة للعام الدراسي 2020-2019 ـ اما عينة البحث فكانت جميع الرسوم والاشكال والمخططات المتضمنة في هذا الكتاب. تم اعداد اداة التحليل المتمثلة بقائمة معايير تصميم وانتاج الانفوجرافيك
