Background: The importance of essential trace elements plays a major role in medicine mainly cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: The study involved 305 patients with either myocardial infarction ( MI ) , angina pectoris ( AP ) or hypertension ( HT ) for evaluation of these trace elements level ( Se & Cr ) as compared with 100 control subjects in Ibin Al Bitar hospital for cardiac surgery between July 2003 and May 2005 by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer ( AAS ) done in the laboratories of ministry of Sciences and Technology in Baghdad.
Result: The total numbers of patients enrolled in this study were 305 patients, Ml contributes to 70 patients, 55 male and 25 female with mean age of 60 ± 20 and 58 ± 19 years respectively. Unstable angina contribute to 105 patient in which 70 of them were male with mean age of 63 ± 20 years and 35 female with mean age of 60 ± 19 years and 120 hypertensive patient in which male contribute to 90 with mean age of 64 ± 19 years and the other 30 were female with mean age of 48 ± 13 years, those 305 patients were compared with 100 normotensive control subject in which 65 of them were male with mean age of 56 ± 20 years and the remaining 35 were female with mean age of 46 ± 13 years. The analysis of results show that the level of Se and Cr were significantly lower in both sexes in patient with MI, AP and HT as compared with control, and the concentrations of Se were even much lower in acute MI as compared with AP.
Conclusion: The concentrations of trace elements Se and Cr were significantly lower in patients having MI, AP and HT as compared with controlled normotensive persons, besides the concentration of Se was much lower in MI as compared with cases of AP.
Congenital agenesis of the hemi-diaphragm (AHD) in adults is rare and exceedingly so on the right side. Since its first recognition in 1959, no more than 9 cases have been published in the English literature by the year 2016. “Partial diaphragm agenesis” is actually large congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) rather than true AHD. Respiratory compromise is the likely presentation, however, patients may survive for years without symptoms. Despite a straightforward clinical and radiographic diagnosis of AHD, the best method of repair is controversial. Herein, we present a case of complete right-sided AHD in a man of 54 diagnosed on surgical exploration 16 years earlier. Despite trans-thoracic mesh repair, the patient experienced just a

Hence, this decorative art must be actively involved in enriching the designs of Islamic fabrics and costumes because it has a highly qualified and aesthetically pleasing look and expresses the originality of the Arab spirit. The research is divided into two section: the first section included the following topics: First "A historical overview of the art of decoration in Islamic Arab thought". Second "linear formations of decorative designs, and the subject of intellectual aesthetic taste of the art of decorating.

Abstract
The current study aims to identify university students' attitudes towards reading and its relationship to some demographic variables in the universities of the Sultanate of Oman. The study sample consisted of (1434) male and female university students from various Omani public and private universities affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education. The study covered all (11) governorates of Oman. The researcher adopted the descriptive analytical approach. The researcher employed a scale of reading attitudes to collect the needed data. The study results showed that university students' reading attitudes recorded a high degree. The results also showed there are statistically significant differences at th
