Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Review of 24 Iraqi patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a disorder in which vascular thrombosis and / or recurrent pregnancy losses occur in a patient who has laboratory evidence of antibodies against phospholipids or phospholipids binding protein cofactor. Usually the patient presents at an age between 35- 45 years, with equal male to female ratio. Mostly they present with thrombosis or pregnancy complication. A quarter of the patients have thrombocytopenia and about one fifth have hemolytic anemia. The diagnosis rests on the criteria set as the Revised classification criteria for the Antiphospholipid syndrome
Patients and Methods; During the period from 1st Jan. 2002 until the 1st Jan. 2006,24 patients who met the criteria of APS (according to Revised classification criteria for the Antiphospholipid syndrome) were included in the study. The diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) was done by using Doppler study of the selected organ,
while brain CT and magnetic resonance imaging were used to diagnose cerebrovascular thromboses.Serological evidence of APA were either an abnormal KCT and KCT index and/or a positive aCL antibody test on 2 occasions.
Results : Three quarter of our patients were females, more than half of them aged 21-30 years ,54.16% of our patients presented with thrombosis the commonest site of which was DVT of lower extremities. Abortion alone was the presenting problem in two patients and two patients presented with thrombosis following abortion Another two patients presented with bleeding problems. Gathering the history; follow up abortion occurred in ten of the thirteen premenapausal married ladies, of whom five had more than three abortions.\Laboratory evaluation revealed anemia in 8 patients (33.33% ) and thrombocytopenia in 5 patients (20.8% ).The KCT and KCT index were suggestive of APS in 14 of the 23 patients tested
(60.86%)and the aCL was positive in 15 of the 19 tested patients (78.94 %).
Conclusion, We think that our study, although small, highlights some of the clinical and laboratory findings of this syndrome in Iraqi patients, larger studies are needed for better
evaluation.

Mathematical Modelling of Gene Regulatory Networks
...Show More Authors

    This research includes the use of an artificial intelligence algorithm, which is one of the algorithms of biological systems which is the algorithm of genetic regulatory networks (GRNs), which is a dynamic system for a group of variables representing space within time. To construct this biological system, we use (ODEs) and to analyze the stationarity of the model we use Euler's method. And through the factors that affect the process of gene expression in terms of inhibition and activation of the transcription process on DNA, we will use TF transcription factors. The current research aims to use the latest methods of the artificial intelligence algorithm. To apply Gene Regulation Networks (GRNs), we used a progr

Percutaneous needle aspiration of breast abscesses
...Show More Authors

Background:Breast abscesses could be successfully treated by percutaneous aspiration of pus and irrigation of the cavity with saline solution.
Objective:To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of percutaneous needle aspiration of breast abscesses under local anesthesia in the outpatient clinic.
Patient and methods:A prospective study of forty three women with breast abscesses attended outpatient clinic at Tikrit teaching hospital and privit clinic for the period from January 2008 to January 2010.All patients had preliminary breast ultrasoundexamination. Percutaneous needle aspiration of pus under local anesthesia was done ,followed by systemic antibiotics. Repeated aspiration was carried out later when deemed necessary and foll

Scheduling of Irrigation and Leaching Requirements
...Show More Authors

Iraq depends mainly on Tigris and Euphrates Rivers to provide high percentage of agricultural water use for thousands years. At last years, Iraq is suffering from shortage in water resources due to global climate changes and unfair water politics of the neighboring countries, which affected the future of agriculture plans for irrigation, added to that the lack of developed systems of water management in the irrigation projects and improper allocation of irrigation water, which reduces water use efficiency and lead to losing irrigation water and decreasing in agricultural yield. This study aims at studying the usability of irrigation and leaching scheduling within the irrigating projects and putting a complete annual or seasonal irrigatio

Interest in the criminalzation of smoking
...Show More Authors

Smoking is one of the biggest pests in societies and is one of the main threats to human health as the problem goes beyond the smoker and the non smoker around it and is transmitted through the air and produces what is known as passive smoking.

Scientific studies and medical research confirm that at least 90% of patients with oral, pharyngeal, laryngeal, and other cancers are among smokers. It is known that the risk of these cancers among smokers increases as the amount of smoking increases. That the incidence of these malignant tumors among smokers rises between 6 to 10 times the incidence in non-smokers, Recent scientific research has proved beyond doubt that tobacco contains precursors, active carcinogens, activated cancer cel

Preparation of Refractory from local materials
...Show More Authors

Ceramic body as a refractory was prepared by using shamoot, which is prepared by firing  kaolin Duekhla at 1450 ºC at 2hr ,Flint clay ,Asbestos fiber(Anthophylite type)and Sodium silicts,Phosphoric acid solution as a binder . After miling, siving ,and mixing ,samples were formed, followed that drying, firing at different temperature.     Phyical ,thermal and mechanical  properties were measured .The conclusion behind the results that the refractory prepared from; 37.5% shamoote,25% Asbestos ,37.5% Flint clay and Phosforic acid solution fired at 1300 ºC  gave a refractory material having  melting temperature ;1490 ºC, thermal shock resistance 7 cycle, thermal conductivity 2.1w/m2.K, apperan

Dielectric Properties of High Alumina Glass
...Show More Authors

High   Alumina   Glasses   "Alumina   Silicate   Glasses"   was prepared by utilizing powder technology technique. The starting materials are wasted soda-lime glass from an industrial site, Iraqi­ Duekhla raw kaolin and small amounts of potassium carbonates.

X-ray Diffraction and FTIR analysis show complete vitreous glasses are obtained. Increasing Alumina content plays an obvious role in improving physical and mechanical properties of the prepared high  alumina  glass.   In  addition,  the   increased  alumina  content enhanced the dielectric constant and reduced dielectric loss. These results may be interpreted as du

Comparison of Hurst exponent estimation methods
...Show More Authors

Through recent years many researchers have developed methods to estimate the self-similarity and long memory parameter that is best known as the Hurst parameter. In this paper, we set a comparison between nine different methods. Most of them use the deviations slope to find an estimate for the Hurst parameter like Rescaled range (R/S), Aggregate Variance (AV), and Absolute moments (AM), and some depend on filtration technique like Discrete Variations (DV), Variance versus level using wavelets (VVL) and Second-order discrete derivative using wavelets (SODDW) were the comparison set by a simulation study to find the most efficient method through MASE. The results of simulation experiments were shown that the performance of the meth

Propagation of Sedum adolphii In vitro
...Show More Authors

Sedum adolphii  stem cutting 1-2 cm were sterilized and cultured on different media . The favorable medium for callus formation was Murashige and skoog (MS, 1962)supplemented with Banzylaminopurine ( BAP) plus Naphalene acetic acid (NAA) in106M  each . Whereas, the best medium for differentiation was MS ,1962 supplemented with BAP 10-7M and NAA10-7M . The formed shoots were transferred to media without Auxin (control) or with different (NAA) concentrations (10-6and 10-7M) . The best rooted shoots were on control, transferred successfully to jeffy 7  discs and to the green house after 3 weeks.
