A trial Of Immunisation Against Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
...Show More Authors

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an endemic protozoal disease in Iraq. Recovery from the disease confers a solid and permanent immunity. Vaccination with a living inoculum of promastigotes isolated from culture reduce the incidence of disease.
Objective: To show the efficacy of different types of antigens for protection of Balb/c mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Methods: Thirty Balb Ic mice were divided in to six groups, groups 1-4 were immunized with different types of antigens (heat killed, freezing-thawing, formalin fixed and ultrasonicated). Received June 2005 Group 5 was treated with freshly harvested viable promastigotes from liquid medium as positive Accepted Nov. 2005 control and group 6 was kept as negative control. Leishmanin test was used for estimation of hypersensitivity of skin. Results: Immunization with antigens preparation revealed that, the immunized mice became resistant to infection.
Conclusion: Immunization of mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis is possible by using different types of antigens. Key words: Immunisation, cutaneous leishmaniasis, mice.

Spectrophotometrically Analysis of PMMA as a low – Doses Dosimeter
...Show More Authors

Polymethylmethacrylate film (PMMA) of thickness 75 μm was evaluated Spectrophotometrically for using it as a low-doses gamma radiation dosimeter. The doses were examined in the range 0.1 mrad-10 krad. Within an absorption band of 200-400 nm, the irradiated films showed an increase in the absorption intensity with increasing the absorbed doses. Calibration curves for the changes in the absorption differences were obtained at 218, 301, and 343 nm. At 218 nm the response for the absorbed doses is a linear in the range 10 mrad- 10 krad. Hence it is recommended to be adopted as an environmental low doses dosimeter

CUBIC INTUITIONISTIC STRUCTURES OF A SEMIGROUP IN KU-ALGEBRA
...Show More Authors

An intuitionistic fuzzy set was exhibited by Atanassov in 1986 as a generalization of the fuzzy set. So, we introduce cubic intuitionistic structures on a KU-semigroup as a generalization of the fuzzy set of a KU-semigroup. A cubic intuitionistic k-ideal and some related properties are introduced. Also, a few characterizations of a cubic intuitionistic k-ideal are discussed and new cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets in a KU-semigroup are defined.

Congenital pouch colon: A rare presentation of Anorectal malformation
...Show More Authors

Background: Congenital pouch colon is an usual abnormality associated with anorectal malformation in which the colon is partially or totally replaced by a pouch like dilatation connected to the genitourinary tract by a fistula(colovesical).The condition varies from complete absence of normal colon with the ileum opening into colonic pouch to the presence of nearly normal colon with only the rectum or recto sigmoid being attached to a pouch which in turn connected to bladder by a band or fistula.
Objective: is to evaluate the methods of diagnosis and management of(C.P.C) with studying environmental factors especially pesticides and its prevalence.
Patients and Methods: A total number of seven cases of(C.P.C) associated with high typ

A review of Medical Diagnostics Via Data Mining Techniques
...Show More Authors

Data mining is one of the most popular analysis methods in medical research. It involves finding patterns and correlations in previously unknown datasets. Data mining encompasses various areas of biomedical research, including data collection, clinical decision support, illness or safety monitoring, public health, and inquiry research. Health analytics frequently uses computational methods for data mining, such as clustering, classification, and regression. Studies of large numbers of diverse heterogeneous documents, including biological and electronic information, provided extensive material to medical and health studies.

Exacerbation of COVID 19 in Hypertensive Patients ( A review)
...Show More Authors

Since its discovery in December 2019, corona virus was outbreak worldwide with very rapid rate, so it described by WHO as pandemic. It associated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, and can enter to cells through Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE 2) receptor which play an important role as regulator for blood pressure. Hypertension is a potential risk factor for sever acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19, and associated with high mortality rate as shown in many epidemiological studies. Moreover, specific antihypertensive medications that infected patients were receiving are not known; only data about renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) are available.

Non discogenic lumbar radiculopathy ((A study of 104 cases))
...Show More Authors

Background: All though the most common etiology of lumbar radiculopathy is herniated disc or spinal stenosis, however there are several intraspinal or extra spinal pathogenic processes that may cause lumbar radiculopathy.
Objective: To assess how often, and review the pathologies that cause non discogenic lumbar radiculopathy.
Patients and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 600 patients who had lumbar radiculopathy. During one year period we examined 600 patients in outpatient clinic with presumed diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation.Through history and comprehensive physical and neurological examination were performed for all patients. Diagnostic test were done including laboratory, electrophysiological and radiological
