Importance of two-dimensional strain imaging in diagnosis of coronary artery disease

Background: Strain imaging assessing regional myocardial deformation and can be used to quantify regional myocardial function and differentiate between ischemic and non ischemic myocardium.

Objectives: to assess sensitivity and specificity of strain imaging in detection of coronary artery disease in comparison with coronary angiography.
Patients and Methods:
ninety six patients were referred to Ibn albitar center for cardiac surgery, Baghdad, Iraq with symptoms of coronary artery disease for a period between June 2014 and April 2015, all of whom were evaluated by two dimensional echocardiography and all were found to have good left ventricular systolic function with no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA), coronary angiography were done for all patients.

Results: of the 96 patients: 69(71.9%) were males and 27(28.1%) females, with mean age 55.7 ± 9.71 years. Thirty-one (32.3%) patients have no significant coronary artery disease and sixty-five (67.7%) have significant coronary artery disease. The sensitivity and specificity of global longitudinal strain in detection of coronary artery disease are 67.7% and 80.6% respectively. Global longitudinal strain appears to be useful in localization of coronary artery disease.

Conclusions: speckle tracking Strain echocardiography is simple, noninvasive and non-angle dependent with acceptable sensitivity and specificity in early detection of cardiomyopathy including ischemic myopathy.

Role of Two- Dimensional Speckle Tracking Strain versus Conventional Echocardiography in the Assessments of Left Ventricular Systolic Function in Middle-aged Hypertensive Patients.
Background: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) echocardiography is a new technique that can be used to  detect an early left ventricular dysfunction in various heart diseases . Systemic hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular accidents. The early management of its complication on the heart plays  an
important role in the outcome of the disease. Hypertension is associated with changes in several aspects
of left ventricular structure, function, and systolic strains. Various echocardiographic techniques are used to evaluate left ventricular function in hypertensive patient

The importance of quality standards in fabric designs and women's fashion

The rapid breakthrough achieved by technological progress in the field of designing and implementing women's fashion has resulted in the emergence of the need for quality control and control to improve the completed visual image of fashion as an aesthetic and functional product and not clothed in its abstract qualities.
The quality in women’s fashion and the importance of showing the design and conveying the design message to the recipient depends on the level of its implementation, starting from the selection of textile fibers and determining their appropriate characteristics for the functional purpose and design prepared by the designer and ending with the final operations of the costume. This calls for spreading awareness and c

Clinical importance of imaging anatomical signs in predicting transverse sinus dominance using conventional magnetic resonance imaging

Background: Differentiating flow gaps associated with hypoplastic transverse sinus from venous thrombosis is a diagnostic challenge in brain magnetic resonance imaging with venography.

Objectives: To assess the clinical benefit of anatomical signs to anticipate the side of the dominant transverse sinus.

Patients and Methods: A total of 100 patients underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging with venography at the radiology department /medical city and were retrospectively reviewed for the direction of superior sagittal sinus flow void, inclination of sulcus for the superior sagittal sinus, angulation of the posterior falx and direction of occipital lobe bending in axial non

The importance of the independence of the Iraqi State Council

The State Council is always the trusted advisor to the administration in matters emerging, and the trusted repository of its secret. It assists the administration in the process of developing the appropriate formula for draft laws, regulations, and instructions, in order to make them lead to their intended goal, through its advisory function.

    He is rightly considered the symbol of administrative justice and its faithful habitat. With what it lays down the principles of legality, and with its prestige, strength, integrity, and well-established traditions, it can always confirm the guarantee of its aspired independence, and that the rule of law has a tool for its advancement, not separated from its conscience, bu

Theoretical and Practical Investigation of Blood Flow through Stenosed Coronary Lad Artery

Atherosclerosis is the most common causes of vascular diseases and it is associated with a restriction in the lumen of blood vessels. So; the study of blood flow in arteries is very important to understand the relation between hemodynamic characteristics of blood flow and the occurrence of atherosclerosis.

looking for the physical factors and correlations that explain the phenomena of existence the atherosclerosis disease in the proximal site of LAD artery in some people rather than others is achieved in this study by analysis data from coronary angiography as well as estimating the blood velocity from coronary angiography scans without having a required data on velocity by using some mathematical equations and physical laws.

Multi-dimensional poverty and sustainable human development in Iraq

The problem of poverty and deprivation constitute a humanitarian tragedy and its continuation may threaten the political achievements reached by the State. Iraq, in particular, and although he is one of the very rich countries due to availability of huge economic wealth, poverty indicators are still high. In addition, the main factor in the decline in the standard of living due to the weakness of the government's performance in the delivery of public services of water, electricity and sanitation. Thus, the guide for human development has been addressed which express the achievements that the state can be achieved both on a physical level or on the human level, so in order to put appropriate strategies and policies aimed at elimin

The role of HSP60 in Atherosclerotic Coronary Heart disease

Background: Heat shock proteins have a general role in the response of the arterial wall to stress and may serve as a mediator/inducer of atherosclerosis in particular circumstances when HSPs specifically bind to the Toll-like receptor 4/CD14 complex, initiating an innate immune response, including the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, this also followed by cytokine amplification through transmigration of macrophages and neutrophils.
Objective: To investigate the percentage of expression of HSP60 by peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) in atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (CHD) patients using immunocytochemistry technique.
Method: A total of fifty patient (40 males and 10 females), ranged from the mean age (59.12±8.54) y
