The frequency of thyroid carcinoma in patients with solitary and multiple nodules utilizing ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC): A prospective study (Thyroid carcinoma and U/S guided FNA)
...Show More Authors

Background: Population studies suggest that 3–8% of asymptomatic adults have thyroid nodules. Nodules have a 5–15% prevalence of malignancy. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is the primary and frequently initial tool for assessing the risk of malignancy in thyroid nodules and selecting patients for thyroid surgery.
Patients and Methods: This prospective study was done during the period from June 2007 to November 2008. The study includes 141 patients with palpable solitary or multiple thyroid nodules. Only patients with normal or low TSH values were referred for ultrasound examination and ultrasound guided FNAC, which were done using fine needles (G 20).
Results: eleven patients (7.8%) have insufficient or non-diagnostic aspirates and were excluded from the study. Of the remaining 130 patients that were included in our study, only 20 patients had thyroid carcinoma (15.3%). Seventy-nine patients (60.7%) had solitary nodule larger than 10 mm in largest dimension and 51 patients (39.3%) had two or more such nodules. The rate of cancer in males with thyroid nodules was higher than in females. The prevalence of thyroid cancer did not differ between patients with a solitary thyroid nodule (12 of 79 patients, 15.1%) and patients with multiple nodules (8 of 51 patients, 15.7%), the deference is statistically insignificant (P = 0.95). A nodule that is one of several nodules had a lower likelihood of being malignant than did a solitary nodule: (8.9% versus 15.1%) (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Ultrasound guided FNAC is the primary and frequently initial tool for assessing the risk of malignancy in thyroid nodules. The prevalence of thyroid cancer did not differ between patients with a solitary thyroid nodule and those with multiple thyroid nodules. FNAC have limited role incytological diagnosis of follicular carcinomas, unless it is confirmed by histopathological diagnosis.

RESPONSE OF YIELD AND QUALITY OF BROCCOLI TO TYPE OF NUTRIENT SOLUTION UNDER HYDROPONIC SYSTEM WITH MODIFIED NFT TECHNOLOGY
...Show More Authors

This study was carried out at the Dept. Hortic. and Land.Gard., Coll. Agric. Eng.Sci., University of Baghdad during fall season of 2019-2020, in order to evaluate the effect of nutrient solution type under hydroponic system (NFT) on growth, yield and quality of broccoli Brassica oleracea var.italica. Two experiments were carried out which were the standard solution experiment (Cooper) and the alternative solution experiment (ABEER) prepared from fertilizers. Results revealed that  the type of solution used in the hydroponics system had non significant effect on the leaves content of N,K, Mg, Fe, Cu, B, Chlorophyll, leaves number, root length, weight of the main heads, number of side heads were not significantly affected. 13nt, refl

Background: zirconium (Zr) implants are known for having an aesthetically pleasing tooth-like colour Unlike the grey cervical collar that develops over time when titanium (Ti) implants are used in thin gingival biotypes. However, the surface qualities of Zr implants can be further improved. This present study examined using thermal vapour deposition (TVD) to coat Zr implants with germanium (Ge) to improve its physical and chemical characteristics and enhance soft and hard tissue responses. Materials and methods: Zr discs were divided into two groups; the uncoated (control) group was only grit-blasted with alumina particles while the coated (experimental) group was grit-blasted then coated with Ge via TVD.
