Focus Assessment of Transthoracic Echocardiography post septostomy Procedure in Patients Undergoing Ablation of Left Atrial Supraventricular Tachycardia
...Show More Authors

Background: Echocardiography has an important role to follow up patients with Iatrogenic atrial septal defect (IASD) and after Catheter ablation during electro-physiological study.

Objectives: evaluating the impact of non-invasive Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) parameters (LAVI, LVEF, ASD size and E/e`) post radiofrequency ablation of left atrial arrhythmia.

Patients and methods: for the evaluation of the atrial septal defect, a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used   in patients who underwent left atrial arrhythmia ablation, enrolled in prospective study in the Iraqi center for cardiac diseases, in cooperation with university of Baghdad /college of medicine  

Results: The outcomes of the present study were assessed according to Transthoracic Echocardiographic parameters with a median period of follow up of six months post-radiofrequency procedure for each patient. The mean of age was (36.28±10.34 years), females were 24 (51.1%) while males were 23 (48.9%), with no structured heart diseases and normal LV function with mean EF (64.68± ,5.23%) and the mean LA diameter (35.75±,2.92mm). Iatrogenic atrial septal defects (IASDs) were detected by TTE in all patients with range from (2-5) mm with mean of (3.47±0.92). Also we noticed that patients with smaller ASD size had higher LVEF than those who had larger ASD size with (P=0.007), while there was no significant association between ASD size with left atrial volume index (LAVI) and E/e`.  

Conclusions: Non-invasive Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) study that was used post atrial septostomy for monitoring the closure of residual atrial septal defect is useful and applicable. And may be used in daily practise post atrial septostomy procedure and recommended rather than the use of invasive Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE).

Study of hypocalcemia and its risk factors in post thyroidectomy in Al-Karama Teaching Hospital
...Show More Authors

Background: Hypocalcemia is a well-recognized complication of thyroid surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of hypocalcemia after thyroid surgery and find out the risk factors involved regarding the patient’s age, gender, muscular build, clinical diagnosis, extent of surgery, ligation of the inferior thyroid artery, and pathology report.

Patients and Methods: This case series study was carried out on 50 patients who have undergone thyroid surgery for various thyroid diseases at the surgical department of Al-Karama Teaching Hospital for the period between January 2016 and July 2017. Serial serum calcium measurements were recorded as well as details of the operation, patie

Estimation of Some Trace Elements and Antioxidant Status in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy
...Show More Authors

Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent tract cancer in the world, including Iraq. The classified breast tumors to benign, malignant, and radiotherapy. Cancer treatment depends on certain stages such as mastectomy then chemotherapy alone or with radiation therapy or endocrine therapy according to the prognostic features obtained from the pathology report. The present study included 100 females. The women were split into two groups, control group that consisted of 50 apparently healthy females and 50 patients with BC group who undergo the radiotherapy. The current study highlighted on some of the anthropometric measurements, including the oxidative stress index malondialdehyde (MDA), the concentrations of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), s

Investigating the Histological Changes in Heart, Lung, Liver and Kidney of Male Albino Mice Treated with Ivabradine
...Show More Authors

            The present study aimed to investigate the histological changes of heart, lung, liver and kidney which caused by different concentrations (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) of Ivabradine. Results of the study revealed some histological changes represented by aggregation of the lymphocytes around respiratory bronchioles of the lung. In the liver, the drug caused hepatocyte necrosis and infiltration of the lymphocytes. In Kidney, there are no histopathological modifications in the tissue after the animals treated with 10 mg\kg of Ivabradine. When the animals treated with Ivabradine drug at 20mg/kg of bw, dose showed vascular congestion between myocardial fibers of heart. Emphysematous c

Enhanced Relative Humidity Sensor via Diameter of No-Core Fiber Structure
...Show More Authors

Single mode-no core-single mode fiber structure with a section of tuned no-core fiber diameter to sense changes in relative humidity has been experimentally demonstrated. The sensor performance with tuned NCF diameter was investigated to maximize the evanescent fields. Different tuned diameters of of (100, 80, and 60)μm were obtained by chemical etching process based on hydrofluoric acid immersion. The highest wavelength sensitivity was obtained 184.57 pm/RH% in the RH range of 30% –100% when the no-core fiber diameter diameter was 60 μm and the sensor response was in real-time measurements
