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).

Alcohol and drug abuse in post-conflict Iraq
...Show More Authors

Background: The 2006-2007 Iraqi Mental Health survey (IMHS) reported surprisingly low prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse in the Iraqi population. Since then anecdotal and clinical reports have suggested that abuse of alcohol and drugs in Iraq has increased. To investigate this possibility, we conducted a survey of drug and drug abuse at youth centers in Baghdad.
Objective: To investigate this possibility, we conducted a survey of drug and drug abuse at youth centers in Baghdad.
Patients and methods: A total of 2678 persons were included in this survey with male to female ratio of 3.8:1. They were randomly selected from youth centers located in different sectors in Baghdad (Sader city, Al-Rusafa side and Al-Karkh side). Composite

Use Generalized Pareto Survival Models to Estimation Optimal Survival Time for Myocardial Infarction Patients
...Show More Authors

The survival analysis is one of the modern methods of analysis that is based on the fact that the dependent variable represents time until the event concerned in the study. There are many survival models that deal with the impact of explanatory factors on the likelihood of survival, including the models proposed by the world, David Cox, one of the most important and common models of survival, where it consists of two functions, one of which is a parametric function that does not depend on the survival time and the other a nonparametric function that depends on times of survival, which the Cox model is defined as a semi parametric model, The set of parametric models that depend on the time-to-event distribution parameters such as

Physiological and Immunological Assessment in Infertile Women Undergoing In-vitro Fertilization
...Show More Authors

All the available reports on the issue of infertility confirmed the increase in this population problem worldwide. Although the accurate estimate of the number of infertile people is due to several reasons, including the discrepancy in the true definition of infertility (whether it extends for one, two or five years of failed pregnancy attempts), as well as the great discrepancy in the size of the selected population groups (large population sample size versus epidemiological studies) and defining the category that diagnosed included (individuals, women, or couples). The goal of today’s IVF program is to obtain high-quality embryos with high efficiency in development, which leads to an increase in live birth rates.

Evaluation of the Physical Parameters on Ischemic Heart Disease Patients Using Echocardiography
...Show More Authors

      Background: Left ventricular function and volumes have major diagnostic and prognostic importance in patients with various cardiac diseases, such as ischemic heart disease which is a life-threatening heart disease condition characterized by systolic dysfunction and a decrease in cardiac output. 

According to left ventricular ejection fraction, the degree of ischemic heart disease was classified as mild, moderate, and severe. To determine cardiac function and hemodynamics, the echocardiography technique is used, which is a noninvasive diagnostic method.

Patients and Methods: The study included 216 patients between 25 and 75 years old; 121 males and 95 females; 265 normal individuals (age range: 25 to 75 years ol

This work studies the role of serum apelin-36 and Glutathione S-transferases (GST) activity in association with the hormonal, metabolic profiles and their link to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in healthy and patients' ladies with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A total of fifty-four (PCOS) patients and thirty-one healthy woman as a control have been studied. The PCOS patients were subdivided on the basis of body-mass-index (BMI), into 2-subgroups (the first group was obese-PCOS with BMI ≥ 30 and the second group was non-obese PCOS MBI<30).
