Mitral valve surgery: comparison between superior septal and left atrial approaches: Surgical Approaches to the Mitral Valve
...Show More Authors

Background Mitral valve (MV) is one of the most complex structures in human heart with a challenging exposure. Traditionally, MV is approached via left atriotomy (LAA) while superior septal approach (SSA) is an alternative.
Objective
:  is to highlight the merits and demerits of these two approaches in providing access to the MV in term of the aortic cross clamp time (ACCT), quality of exposure, and potential complications in view of the published literature.

Patients and Method: Over an 18-month period ending at June 30th, 2019, 56 patients with MV disease ± other cardiac diseases were enrolled in this study. Twenty patients had surgery via LAA (one surgeon) whereas 36 were operated upon via SSA (another surgeon). Standard surgery was done via median sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia of 32 0C. Perioperative events were recorded.

Results In SSA group (males=25; age ranged 23-74 years; mean=57.4), patients had chest pain and breathlessness for a mean of 3 months (>LAA) besides low ejection fraction (EF) in 44%, atrial fibrillation (AF) in 38.9% and dilated LA in 19.4%. They underwent 25 MV replacements (MVR), 11 MV repairs (0 in LAA), 11 coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs) (2.6 graft per patient vs. 1.3 in LAA; significant) and 2 aortic valve replacement. Mean ACCT was 81.6 minutes (˂LAA). Postoperatively, 32 patients (88.9%) had a normal or improved EF, 11 of 14 AF patients (78.6%) reverted to sinus rhythm and no hospital death was recorded. Conclusion Besides excellent exposure, the SSA enabled us to perform MVR or repair ± additional interventions within a short time and without a heart block. Hence, our results matched the international literature.

The Comparison Between the Bayes Estimator and the Maximum Likelihood Estimator of the Reliability Function for Negative Exponential Distribution
...Show More Authors

     In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimator and the Bayes estimator of the reliability function for negative exponential distribution has been derived, then a Monte –Carlo simulation technique was employed to compare the performance of such estimators. The integral mean square error (IMSE) was used as a criterion for this comparison. The simulation results displayed that the Bayes estimator performed better than the maximum likelihood estimator for different samples sizes.

The Causal Relationship between Forgiveness and Psychological Hardiness For University Students
...Show More Authors

The research aimed to identify the causal relationship between forgiveness and psychological hardness for university students, by answering the following questions: Does forgiveness cause psychological hardiness? Does psychological hardiness cause forgiveness? Is the relationship between the two variables a reciprocal relationship? The research sample consisted of (300) male and female students from the universities of Baghdad and Al-Mustansiriya University. To extract the psychometric properties of the two scales: forgiveness and psychological hardiness, a sample of (50) male and female students employed to repeat the test, making the six connections between the two research variables. To determine the causal relationship, The Pearson c

The incidence and risk factors of hypocalcaemia after thyroid surgery
...Show More Authors

Background: Hypocalcaemia is a well-recognized complication of thyroid surgery. It is the most often transient event that occurs after extensive thyroid resection that may require calcium and/or vitamin D supplements to alleviate or prevent the symptoms.
Objective: of this study is to determine the incidence of hypocalcaemia after thyroid surgery and find out the risk factors involved regarding the patient age, gender, and muscular build, clinical diagnosis, the extent of surgery, ligation of the inferior thyroid artery, pathology report and the experience of the surgeon.
Patients and methods: This prospective study was carried out on 100 patients who underwent thyroid surgery for
