Unilateral Sinonasal Disease: analysis of the clinical, radiological and pathological features
...Show More Authors

Background: Unilateral sinonasal disease is commonly encountered during the practice of the otolaryngologists, the etiology include a wide variety of diseases ranging from simple
acute inflammation to highly malignant diseases. The clinical, computed tomography and histopathology differs between inflammatory and neoplastic diseases.
Patients and Methods: A prospective study carried out at the Otolaryngology department, Baghdad Medical City, Hospital of specialized surgeries between Jan.2007 to Nov.2008.The study involved 114 patients with symptoms and signs of unilateral sinonasal disease, a careful history, complete clinical examination and radiological investigations were done to all patients as well as flexible nasoendoscopic examination. Sinonasal surgery under general or local anaesthesia with histopathological examination of the removed tissues was done to all patients.
Results: Chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyposis is the commonest cause of a unilateral sinonasal disease (33.3%), followed by antrochoanal polyp (20%) , mucor
mycosis (16.7%), benign tumors (13.1%), allergic fungal sinusitis (9.6%) and then malignant tumors (7.6%) in that order. Male gender and the right side were predominant. Purulent discharge and foul odor were the commonest presenting symptoms under inflammatory conditions, while frequent epistaxis, facial swelling and exophthalmos were the main symptoms in neoplastic diseases. Calcifications were observed on CT scan mainly in patients with allergic fungal sinusitis, while bony erosion and destruction was detected in both malignant tumors as well as mucor mycosis, the pattern and extent of bony destruction is more sever in malignant tumors.
Conclusion: Chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyposis is the commonest cause of unilateral sinonasal disease. History, clinical examination, endoscopic as well as radiological examinations are important to reach the diagnosis. However, histopathological confirmation remains obligatory.

The Diagnostic Yield of Open Lung Biopsy in relation to clinical and radiological features in Patients with Suspected Interstitial Lung Disease
...Show More Authors

Background: The diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is frequently delayed, because clinical clues are neglected and respiratory symptoms are ascribed to more common pulmonary diagnosis such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the primary care setting.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic yield of open lung biopsy in patients with suspected ILD in relation to clinical and radiological features.
Patients and methods: Thirty-five patients were admitted with suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD), and scheduled for open lung biopsy (OLB) in Ghazi AL-Hariri hospital for surgical specialty, were included in this study. Data collected from the patient's files (who were subjected to open lung biopsies which

Clinical and Pathological Characteristics of Triple Positive Breast Cancer among Iraqi Patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting the Iraqi population and the leading cause of cancer related mortality among Iraqi women. It has been well documented that prognosis of patients depends largely upon the hormone receptor contents and HER-2 over expression of their neoplasm. Recent studies suggest that Triple Positive (TP) tumors, bearing the three markers, tend to exhibit a relatively favorable clinical behavior in which overtreatment is not recommended. Aim: To document the different frequencies of ER/PR/HER2 breast cancer molecular subtypes focusing on the Triple Positive pattern; correlating those with the corresponding clinico-pathological characteristics among a sample of Iraqi patients diagnosed with th

...Show More Authors

Background: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a disorder of systemic inflammatory condition. Its important features are represented by recurrent oral, genital ulcerations and eye lesions. Aims. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate and compare cytological changes using morphometric analysis of the exfoliated buccal mucosal cells in Behçet’s disease patients and healthy controls, and to evaluate the clinical characteristics of Behçet’s disease. Methods. Twenty five Behçet’s disease patients have been compared to 25 healthy volunteers as a control group. Papanicolaou stain was used for staining the smears taken from buccal epithelial cells to be analyzed cytomorphometrically. The image analysis sof

...Show More Authors

     Background: Thyroid cancer (TC) is an increasingly prevalent malignancy throughout the world. It has long been recognized that the incidence of TC is higher in women which increases with age. However, the association of gender disparity and age with TC aggressiveness and outcomes are still controversial. The aim of this study was focused on the association of age and gender with histopathological characteristics in TC. Methods: 153 patients who met the criteria, were selected.  The included cases were divided into four age groups (≤24 years, 25-44 years, 45-64 years, and ≥65 years). Demographic, age and pathological parameters were compared among them. The association of gender and age with

Clinical Features Of Iraqi Patients With Tetralogy Of Fallot
...Show More Authors

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease which represents about 8-10% of all congenital heart diseases. It is characterized by four morphological features, large malalignment ventricular septal defect, Pulmonary stenosis, Overriding of aorta, and Right ventricular hypertrophy. The infant with TOF does well for the first few months of life with minimal or no cyanosis. The cyanosis begins to increase with secondary slow increase in polycythemia as well. Hypercyanotic spells are the most common complicating features of TOF 
Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study of 200 patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) referred to Ibn Al-Bitar Center for Car
