Traumatic Haemothorax: Diagnostic approaches and surgical management: diagnostic approaches and surgical management
...Show More Authors

 

Background: Traumatic haemothorax is a collection of blood within the pleural cavity due to a penetrating or blunt injury leading to blood accumulation inside the pleural space with its respiratory and hemodynamic consequences.

Objectives: Is to retrospectively study eighty victims of traumatic haemothorax regarding their age, gender, types of injury, and their sequel, as well as the methods of investigation, treatment modality (conservative or operative) and their outcome.  

Patients and methods: The data of 80 patients with traumatic haemothorax admitted to Ibn AL-Nnafees teaching hospital from (1st of August 2018 to 30th. of September 2019), was collected. The data was analyzed according to age, gender, clinical features, associated findings, mechanism of injury, imaging, procedure performed, operative finding, post-operative outcome, morbidity, mortality and follow up.

Result: Seventy-four (92.5%) of our patients were males, and 32 (40%) were between 21-30 year of age. Fifty-four patients (67.5%) were injured by bullet, stab or shell injury. The remaining 26 patients (32.5%) were affected by blunt injury. Sixty patients (75%) were treated successfully with tube thoracostomy only. Eight patients (10%) required emergency thoracotomy after the insertion of chest tube, ten patients (12.5%) needed elective thoracotomy for (clotted haemothorax, foreign body extraction or empyema), and the remaining two patients (2.5%) presented with minimal haemothorax and didn’t need any intervention. Sixty-two of our patients (77.5%) were discharged well within 7 days. Those with air leak or who needed thoracotomy (elective or emergency) had longer hospitalization periods. Only one patient with empyema needed to stay more than 30 days. Sixty-nine (86.3%) of our patients were discharged well, while complication occurred in three patients (3.8%) with air leak, two (2.5%) ended with empyema and four patients (5%) with clotted haemothorax. Two patients (2.5%) died due to sever uncontrolled bleeding.

Conclusion: Most of the patients with traumatic haemothorax were simply managed by tube thoracostomy only. In haemodynamically unstable patients, no time should be wasted for investigations and a resuscitative thoracotomy can save the patient’s life. Rapid assessment and early intervention will save the life of patient with traumatic haemothorax.

Social Risks and Development Gaps in Iraq: A Social Study in the City of Baghdad
...Show More Authors

Social risks posed a great challenge to the development path in Iraq, which resulted in widening the development gaps, whether these gaps were between rural and embargoed areas, or between Iraqi governorates, and the gender gap. Besides, the nature of the reciprocal relationship between the social risks and the development process requires the adoption of development trends that are sensitive to the risks that take upon themselves the prompt and correct response to these risks, away from randomness and confusion that Iraq suffered from for decades. However, currently, the situation has differed a great deal. This is because the size and types of such gaps have widened and become more complicated than before; a matter which has led to hav

Investigating the Aerodynamic Surface Roughness Length over Baghdad City Utilizing Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
...Show More Authors

This study calculated the surface roughness length (Zo), zero-displacement length (Zd) and height of the roughness elements (ZH) using GIS applications. The practical benefit of this study is to classify the development of Baghdad, choose the appropriate places for installing wind turbines, improve urban planning, find rates of turbulence, pollution and others. The surface roughness length (Zo) of Baghdad city was estimated based on the data of the wind speed obtained from an automatic weather station installed at Al-Mustansiriyah University, the data of the satellite images digital elevation model (DEM), and the digital surface model (DSM), utilizing Remote Sensing Techniques. The study area w

Sculptured Surface Design and Implementation by Lofting Design Method Using Cross-sectional B-Spline Curves
...Show More Authors

This research presents a particular designing strategy for a free form of surfaces, constructed by the lofting design method. The regarded surfaces were created by sliding a B-spline curves (profile curves), in addition to describing an automatic procedure for selective identification of sampling points in reverse engineering applications using Coordinate Measurement Machine. Two models have been implemented from (Ureol material) to represent the different cases of B-spline types to clarify its scope of application. The interior data of the desired surfaces was designed by MATLAB software, which then were transformed to UG-NX9 software for connecting the sections that were designed in MATLAB program and obtaining G-code programs for the

...Show More Authors

Objective(s): Ramadan is the Holy month of the Muslims, where they are required to abstain from food and drinks
from dawn till the beginning of night. This study was conducted in Ramadan to investigate the effect of fasting on
hematological incidences, lipid profile, renal and liver function tests among healthy adult males.
Methodology: The present study was carried out in Ramadan – 1431 of Higira (August-September 2010). The study
sample was 56 healthy adult males. Five samples of blood were taken at five intervals (Before, at day 1, 15, 28 and
after Ramadan). Estimation was done for hematological markers, (hemoglobin, white blood cells count, platelet
count); renal function tests (blood urea, serum uric acid, serum

The Messenger’s approach to preaching (the Meccan stage in light of the Qur’an and Sunnah)

First: People’s need for advocacy:

Calling for a legal necessity for all people, regardless of their races, colours, tongues, and culture, to explain the truth, spread fear, bring benefits, ward off evil, regulate a person’s relationship with his Lord, and his relationship with creatures, so that he knows his money and what he owes.

All of creation is in dire need of the call to God’s religion with insight due to their inability to reach out to goodness, righteousness, guidance, and success on their own. Man is limited in thinking in this universe, limited in his resolve, unable to know what will improve his affairs in the two worlds. His need for religion is one of the necessities of his life, and one of the comple

Newly acid hydrazide was synthesized from ethyl 2-(2,3-dimethoxyphenoxy) acetate (2), which is cyclized to the corresponding  4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3). Five newly azo derivatives (4a-e) were synthesized from this 1,2,4-triazole by converting the amine group to diazonium salt then reacted with various substituent phenol,as well three newly imine derivatives (5a-c) were synthesized from reacting the amine group of compound (3) with three aryl aldehyde. The thermal electro conductivity of these compounds was tested at 30, 50, 75 and 100 áµ’C. compound 4a showed interesting electro conductivity at 75áµ’C as well 5a
