Hematologic abnormalities and pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19
...Show More Authors

Background: Since declaring coronavirus disease 19 as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, a great concern was directed toward pregnant women and their fetuses. Despite the substantial impact of COVID-19 disease on pregnancy, there is a scarcity of national researches discussing this important issue.          

Objectives: To study the relationship between peripheral blood abnormalities and COVID-19 in pregnant women.

Patients and methods: A case control study was conducted in the labour wards of Baghdad Teaching Hospital in the Medical complex / Baghdad /Iraq during the period from 1st of February till 31st of July, 2021. Fifty pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19 disease were compared to 50 healthy pregnant women as controls. The pregnant women enrolled in the study were tested by COVID-19-Reverse transcription RT-PCR test upon admission to hospital. The confirmation of COVID-19 diagnosis was done according to the Iraqi guidelines approved by the Iraqi Ministry of Health.

Results: Dyspnea was a significant clinical presentation of pregnant women with COVID-19 disease. Those women had abnormal white blood cell count, lymphocytopenia, high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, high platelets to lymphocyte ratio and mild to moderate anemia which were significant when compared to controls. The maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality rates were higher among pregnant women with COVID-19 disease. Abnormalities in peripheral blood system parameters like lymphocyte count, neutrophils count, platelets count and hemoglobin level were predictors of maternal morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions: The clinical presentations and hematological abnormalities are useful in the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease in pregnant women and may be used as predictors of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

THE ONCOGENIC EFFECT OF EBV/HPV CO-INFECTION IN A GROUP OF IRAQI WOMEN WITH CERVICAL CARCINOMA
...Show More Authors

The current paper was designed to find the possible synergic effect of EBV infection with the HPV-16 in Iraqi women suffering from cervical carcinoma. This retrospective study involved paraffinized blocks of two groups. The research included 30 carcinomatous cervical tissues and 15 samples from normal cervical biopsies. After sectioning using positively charged slides, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to detect anti-Epstein Barr Virus LMP1 and Human papillomavirus type 16 primary antibodies. Sixty-three percentage (19 out of 30) of the studies group showed positive overexpression as shown in with a significant association of the expression with cervical cancer with a significant association (p = 0). The co-infection of the EBV and H

Analysis of Methods and Techniques Used for Speaker Identification, Recognition, and Verification: A Study on Quarter-Century Research Outcomes
...Show More Authors

The theories and applications of speaker identification, recognition, and verification are among the well-established fields. Many publications and advances in the relevant products are still emerging. In this paper, research-related publications of the past 25 years (from 1996 to 2020) were studied and analysed. Our main focus was on speaker identification, speaker recognition, and speaker verification. The study was carried out using the Science Direct databases. Several references, such as review articles, research articles, encyclopaedia, book chapters, conference abstracts, and others, were categorized and investigated. Summary of these kinds of literature is presented in this paper, together with statistical analyses

Comparative Study of Genomic DNA Extraction Protocols from Whole Blood for P53 Gene Polymorphism in Persons with and without Prostate Cancer
...Show More Authors

In latest decades, genetic methods have developed into a potent tool in a number of life-attaching applications. In research looking at demographic genetic diversity, QTL detection, marker-assisted selection, and food traceability, DNA-based technologies like PCR are being employed more and more. These approaches call for extraction procedures that provide efficient nucleic acid extraction and the elimination of PCR inhibitors. The first and most important stage in molecular biology is the extraction of DNA from cells. For a molecular scientist, the high quality and integrity of the isolated DNA as well as the extraction method's ease of use and affordability are crucial factors. The present study was designed to establish a simple, fast
