Background: Fenugreek herb is one of the most abundant plants in our country. The dried ripe seeds of this plant are the effective medicinal part the plant.
Aim of the work: The aim of this study is to determine the pharmacological effect of a new chemical substance that has been extracted from crude fenugreek seeds which has a hormonal like action and to assess the safety of this experimental material in order to recommend it in future as a stimulator for ovulation or a contraceptive pill.
Materials and Methods: Sixty uncoupled female rats and mice were enrolled in this study, categorized into groups as mentioned in the text. Prolactin, estradiol and progesterone serum levels where measured for all groups. Histological and statistical analytical methods were applied to identify the increase in the folliculogenis process within the ovaries of the studied animals.
Results: There was an increase in folliculogenesis process in all experimental groups studied when compared to the control (group II, then group III respectively in ascending way). These
findings were confirmed histologically as shown in the figures presented in the text showing the mean number of various ovarian components of experimental groups69.2±8.2 in groupli and 103.9 ±14.7 counted as the mean values these componentsand compared to the mean values of the control group which is equal to35.2 t 10.3. Hormonal assay levels, showed increase in the serum levels of hormones studied (prolactin, estradiol & progesterone) in all the experimental groups with percentage in elevation of prolactin in groups II and III were
(57% and 44.3% respectively). While the percentage of elevation of estradiol in groups II and III were (76% and 65% respectively). And the percentage of elevation in progesterone
hormone in groups II and III were (78% and 73% respectively). The significancy of this elevation was more significant in groups IIR and IIM than. As shown in Figures (12,
13, & 14).
Conclusion: It has been concluded that fenugreek oil has a significant effect on folliculogenesis process within the ovary and it increases sex hormones level in the
blood due to its wide biochemical effective components.
Background: The events in pregnancy elicit one of the best examples of selective anatomical, physiological and biochemical adaptations, with profound changes in respiratory physiology. The changes in respiratory physiology are due to increased size of the fetus with advance gestation which constitutes a mechanical impediment to normal process of ventilation.
.Patients and methods: This study started from the 1st of Nov. 2009 till the 30th of Oct. 2010. pregnant women aged (16-44 years) of different weight, height and different conception from 1st, 2nd, 3rd trimester and post term were included.

The loss of a family member, especially husband makes women suddenly bears full responsibility for the family. Lost could impose new changes in psychological, social, and economical roles. These changes usually combine with the negative effects aftermath the lost trauma. Some of the reports in Iraq showed there were increased and huge numbers of widows and orphans. This study aimed to identify the aspects of Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) in Iraq women who lost their close relatives (especially husbands). 52 of Iraqi women who lost their husband and 49 women who experienced other traumatic events

Objective: To determine the pattern of congenital anomalies in neonates admitted to tertiary neonatal care unit and to determine the impact of some factors related to congenital anomalies with and without congenital anomalies.
Patients and methods: A case control study was carried out during 6 months period (1St of January to 30th of June 2011). Neonates with and without congenital anomalies admitted to Children Welfare Teaching Hospital were included in the study as a case and control group. Demographic characteristics of both parents and neonates, Consangui
The Research examines the transmission advantage from Floor Trading (FT) to the Electronic Trading (ET) in the Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISE). Testing three hypothesis, first, test the significant different of market depth before and after period of ET used, second, test the significant different of market liquidity also before and after period of ET used. And third test the impact of market depth and liquidity on the performance of ISE. AnEvent Study is depended with 74 observing distributed equality on research period which is extent among 2006 to 2012, Note that the event window is 5-7-2009.The Result of hypothesis testing explore that the all three null main hypothesis is refusing and accept the alternative of it's because the ET

The approach of greening existing buildings, is an urgent necessity, because the greening operation provides the speed and optimal efficiency in the environmental performance, as well as keeping up with the global green architecture revolution. Therefore, greening existing buildings in Iraq is important for trends towards renewable energies, because of what the country went through economic conditions and crises and wars which kept the country away from what took place globally in this issue. The research problem is: insufficient knowledge about the importance and the mechanism of the greening of existing buildings, including its environmental and economic dimensions, by rationalization of energy consumption and preservi

... Show More Background: Mitral stenosis (MS) is the most common valve disease in developing countries and there are many ways to deal with this condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate results of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) in patients with severe symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis.
Patients and Methods: From May 2006 to August 2007, 58 patients (17 male, 41 female) with age range (16-57) years, underwent PTMC in Ibn AL- Bitar Hospital for Cardiac Surgery. All the patients were symptomatic, their MVA 1.5 cm2 with NYHA class II-IV. Clinical evaluation and echocardiographic examination were carried out before and after PTMC, mitral valve structures were assessed
The growing ability of Television to transfer and present events as they occur and sometimes transfer events alive makes it the most important sources to receive news and find out what is going on in the world. These channels form the importance of multiple sources and displayed content, especially news. What adds to the importance of the research is that the people under study are Iraqi professors
The problem of the study is represented by an essential inquiry about the favorite satellite channels to obtain news for Iraqi professors
The aims of the study are identified by finding out the most favorite satellite channels as a source of news for Iraqi professors and the habits of exposer to the news by them

In this paper we used frequentist and Bayesian approaches for the linear regression model to predict future observations for unemployment rates in Iraq. Parameters are estimated using the ordinary least squares method and for the Bayesian approach using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. Calculations are done using the R program. The analysis showed that the linear regression model using the Bayesian approach is better and can be used as an alternative to the frequentist approach. Two criteria, the root mean square error (RMSE) and the median absolute deviation (MAD) were used to compare the performance of the estimates. The results obtained showed that the unemployment rates will continue to increase in the next two decade
