...Show More Authors

Back ground: The incidence of malignancy in multi-nodular goiter is thought to be low as compared with solitary thyroid nodule.
Objectives: Identifying incidence of malignancy in multi-nodular goiter.
Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study at Al-kindy teaching hospital from January 2013 to September 2015. 160 patient with multi-nodular goiter were included in the study (132females,28 males)  their ages ranged between 17-75 years with a mean age of 35.88 years. Each of the patients had special form of detailed information including history and physical examination ,results of investigations; all the patients had near total thyroidectomy. All the specimens were fixed in formalin and sent for histo-pathological evaluation.
Results: Females affected by multi-nodular goiter more than males (132 females&28 males) with a ratio of 4.7/1 female to male ; 36.25 % of them were in the 4th decade of life ; the most common presenting symptom was mass in the neck (51.8 %) ; nodules affect both lobes +\- isthmus in 85.6% of the patients ; FNAC(fine needle aspiration cytology) in suspected nodules show atypical cells in 18% of the patients ; the pathological cause of multi-nodular goiter was thyroid tumor in 30 patient(18.7%) , (16 patient) by adenoma( 53.3%) and (14 patient) by malignancy (46.7%) ; the most common malignant tumor was papillary carcinoma in 85.7% followed by follicular carcinoma in 14.3%.
Conclusion: The incidence of malignancy is quite high 8.7% in multi-nodular goiter patient which makes
near total thyroidectomy as preferable procedure in the treatment of the disease.

A Security and Privacy Aware Computing Approach on Data Sharing in Cloud Environment
...Show More Authors

Today, the role of cloud computing in our day-to-day lives is very prominent. The cloud computing paradigm makes it possible to provide demand-based resources. Cloud computing has changed the way that organizations manage resources due to their robustness, low cost, and pervasive nature. Data security is usually realized using different methods such as encryption. However, the privacy of data is another important challenge that should be considered when transporting, storing, and analyzing data in the public cloud. In this paper, a new method is proposed to track malicious users who use their private key to decrypt data in a system, share it with others and cause system information leakage. Security policies are also considered to be int

Effect of Dapagliflozin on hemoglobin level in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease and/or diabetes
...Show More Authors

Background: Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome caused by any functional or structural cardiac disease that reduces the ventricle's ability to fill or pump blood. Anemia is frequent in patient with heart failure and is associated with deterioration through the activation of neuro-hormonal pathways. Dapagliflozin is a selective and reversible inhibitor of Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2). Dapagliflozin increases hemoglobin level through different mechanisms such increasing plasma concentration by diuresis or increasing Erythropoietin synthesis.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of additional dapagliflozin into conventional therapy on hemoglobin in heart failure patients with chronic

Density - Velocity Relationship and Prediction of Lithology Variation Using Physical Analysis in Kf-4 Well of The Kifl Oil Field, Yamama Formation, South of Iraq
...Show More Authors

     The density-velocity relation is an important tool used to predict one of  these two parameters from the other. A new empirical density –velocity equation was derived in Kf-4 well at Kifl Oil Field, south of Iraq. The density was derived from Gardner equation and the results obtained were compared with the density log (ROHB) in Kl-4 well. The petrophysical analysis was used to predict the variations in lithology of Yamama Formation depending on the well logs data, such as density, gamma, and neutron logs. The physical analysis of rocks depended on the density, Vp, and Vs  values to estimate the elastic parameters, i.e. acoustic impedance (AI) and Vp/Vs ratio, to predict the lithology and hydrocarbon i
