Prevalence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in ulcerative colitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder that affects the rectum & extends proximally to affect variable extent of the colon. Autoimmune hemolytic
anemia had reported in few cases.
Objective: to determine the prevalence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in Ulcerative colitis.
Patient & Methods: Fifty Iraqi patients having Ulcerative colitis attending the GIT Center in Baghdad during the period from March to August 2004 were interviewed, examined and
diagnosed according to pathological study done for colonic biopsies by the same centre. Blood was drown for the assessment of complete picture with blood film, reticulocyte
percent, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Coombs test (direct, indirect), antinuclear antibody, immunoglobulin assay, serum iron and TIBC in the same laboratory unit.
Results: In our study, 18(36%) patients were anemic, fifteen of them had normal or low reticulocyte percent with normochromic normocytic RBC in blood film, probable causes of
anemia was either iron deficiency proved by low serum iron and high total iron binding capacity (TIBC), or anemia of chronic illness. The remaining three of eighteen patients with
reticulocytosis, two of them Coombs test were negative and normal film, but they were having acute bloody diarrhea which probably was the cause of reticulocytosis.
The third patient was Coombs positive with features of hemolytic anemia in the blood film (polychromic with spherocytosis), this patient had also a high titer of IGg, LDH, so that this
female had all the evidence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia which is a rare complication of Ulcerative colitis. Salfasalazine as a treatment of Ulcerative colitis can cause autoimmune haemolysis, but in this case the drug had stopped for one month before the development of autoimmune haemolysis. In our sample we had five patients with reticuloytosis but normal haemoglobin level and normal blood film with cooms negative (direct and indirect) those five patients might had nonimmune causes of hemolytic like G6PD deficiency which need further investigations, or might had bloody diarrhea which cause elevated reticulocyte as areaction to blood loss, or it may be due to salazopyrine effect which may lead to increase level of reticulocyte.
Conclusion:Most studies giving range of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia with Ulcerative colitis between 1%-2%, all these studies showed direct coomb's test positive, and our study
showed 2% incidence. So it is one of the rare manifestations of Ulcerative colitis. It does not depend much on severity, duration and degree of colonic involvement.

Spiking Neural Network in Precision Agriculture
...Show More Authors

In this paper, precision agriculture system is introduced based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Soil moisture considered one of environment factors that effect on crop. The period of irrigation must be monitored. Neural network capable of learning the behavior of the agricultural soil in absence of mathematical model. This paper introduced modified type of neural network that is known as Spiking Neural Network (SNN). In this work, the precision agriculture system  is modeled, contains two SNNs which have been identified off-line based on logged data, one of these SNNs represents the monitor that located at sink where the period of irrigation is calculated and the other represents the soil. In addition, to reduce p

Social Satire in Harold Pinter’s Celebration
...Show More Authors

Harold Pinter was one of the most important dramatists in the modern and the
contemporary age. Pinter presented his own dramatic realm in which he turns the theatre into
a moral institution. He employed the elements of several schools of drama and manipulated
them in order to deliver his ethical messages emphasizing the necessity to regain and renew
the world's morality in order to face the political and social injustices committed against
humanity. His writings developed over more than fifty years in style, techniques and his
interests. However, his main concern was his social and political satire.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome
(CTS) is the most common neuropathy of the
upper limb due to compression of the median
nerve at the wrist.
Objectives: to test the benefit of steroid
irrigation of the wound to alleviate the post
operative pain.
Methods: Forty patients had carpal tunnel
release were divided into two groups with and
without steroid irrigation.
Results: Forty patients 38 female and 2 male
with forty CTS had open surgical release were
studied for postoperative pain at the wrist area.
Group 1 (patients treated with surgery alone)
and group 2 (patients treated with surgery and
steroid).In group1, 11 patients (55%) had
persistent agonizing pain at the ulnar side of

Analyzing Conversation in Children’s Short Stories
...Show More Authors

Conversation analysis has long been the concern of many linguists who work in the field of discourse analysis. In spite of the fact that there are many researches have been done in the field of short stories but up to the researcher knowledge the investigation of the selected short stories has not been studied yet. Hence, this paper aims at answering the following questions: what are the features of children’s short stories language and the differences between short stories of four years old and those of six years old.  Hence, the devices used by the story tellers in reciting the short stories should be observed. Thus, the researcher has consulted the models presented by Johnson and Fillmore (2010) to show tenses and sentence str

Data Hiding in 3D-Medical Image
...Show More Authors

Information hiding strategies have recently gained popularity in a variety of fields. Digital audio, video, and images are increasingly being labelled with distinct but undetectable marks that may contain a hidden copyright notice or serial number, or even directly help to prevent unauthorized duplication. This approach is extended to medical images by hiding secret information in them using the structure of a different file format. The hidden information may be related to the patient. In this paper, a method for hiding secret information in DICOM images is proposed based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Firstly. segmented all slices of a 3D-image into a specific block size and collecting the host image depend on a generated key

Ironic Metonymy in Russian and Arabic
...Show More Authors

This article is devoted to the cognitive study of ironic metonymy in Russian and Arabic. Metonymy and irony have traditionally been seen as parallel linguistic phenomena. But their formation and interpretation are based on different cognitive mechanisms. At the formal and functional level, metonymy and irony have a number of significant differences. Metonymy is an artistic technique, the mechanism of which is based on obvious, easily traced connections between objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. Irony is a satirical technique or a rhetorical figure that is used to create a certain artistic image, aimed at forming the hidden meaning of the statement. A native speaker intuitively feels the difference between metonymy and i
