The prevalence of thrombocytopenia in pregnant women in Baghdad: single centre study
...Show More Authors

Background: The prevalence of thrombocytopenia in most studies ranges from 7 to 10% of all
pregnant females. Although pregnancy is associated with physiological changes that may affect
platelet count, several pathological conditions can cause thrombocytopenia which have a significant
impact on both the mother and her baby.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in pregnant
women attending an out-patient clinic in Al-Yarmouk Teaching hospital in Baghdad.
Material and Methods: A cross sectional study conducted at Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital from
1st October 2016 to 1st July 2017. Five hundred sixty pregnant women randomly selected as the study
group and another 100 non-pregnant women as the control group were enrolled in this study. A
complete blood count and blood film were done for both the selected groups.
Results: Thrombocytopenia was found in 7.1% of the cases. The most common cause of
thrombocytopenia was gestational thrombocytopenia seen in 19(47.5%) patients and PE & HELLP
syndrome 9 (22.5%) patients. Most of our cases were asymptomatic and only one case developed
heavy vaginal bleeding while there were 2 cases who had platelets below 50,000 considered as severe
thrombocytopenia without significant bleeding.
Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia is not a rare condition in pregnancy. Accurate etiological diagnosis is
essential for effective management. Most of the cases are mild, self-limiting and rarely cause with
complications

Polyaniline Nano Films Synthesis in One Step via Chemical Oxidative Polymerization
...Show More Authors

Polyaniline films were successfully synthesized in this study using an oxidative polymerization method at temperatures ranging from 0 to 4 ° C. Polyaniline films were deposited using a single step of chemical oxidative polymerization rather than electrochemical polymerization. The polyaniline was examined using FTIR, XRD, SEM, AFM, and Four Point Probe. This result demonstrates that polyaniline synthesized using this method has a uniform morphology, small size (17 to 40) nm, high crystallinity, and high conductivity (9.42 s/cm).
