Background: CT (computed tomography) is one of the first noninvasive imaging techniques in diagnosis of intra-axial posterior fossa tumors because it can accurately demonstrate, localize and characterize brain tumors, and can provide important information about the anatomic location, size, shape of the lesions and their mass effect on adjacent structures.
Objectives: To evaluate multi detectors CT characteristics of intra axial posterior fossa tumors and correlation of the CT characteristics of intra- axial posterior fossa tumors with the histopathological findings.
Patients & Methods: This is a cross sectional study including 26 patients with intra-axial posterior fossa tumors,15 males &11 females ,three cases were excluded from the study because no definite histological diagnosis was done so the final included number was 23 cases .The cases were referred from the Department of Neurosurgery in Ghazi Al-Hariri specialized surgical hospital in Medical city complex at the period between January 2012 to January 2013.
Results: The most common intra- axial posterior fossa tumors were astrocytoma, and medulloblastoma (26.1%) for both equally. These tumors are more common in pediatric age group (60.9%) than adult (39.1%). Medulloblastoma was the most common childhood tumors. Hemangioblastoma and metastasis were the most common adulthood tumors. The gender distribution of the total number of patients showed male predominance by a factor 1.5, (60.9%) were males, and (39.1%) were females.
CT scan was sensitive in detection of tumors but it was not specific to give the definite histopathalogical tumors type.
Conclusion: Medulloblastoma and astrocytoma were the most common intra axial posterior fossa tumos. The gender distribution showed male predominance. CT scan was sensitive in detection of tumors but it was not specific to give the definite histopathalogical tumors type. The confidence interval of CT in diagnosis of histopathlogical types is 65.2 % but it is still useful in the detection, localization and characterization of tumors.
The tourism activity is one of the pillars on which the economy of any country is based , the importance of the tourism sector is reflected in its potential to become an effective development alternative in many countries, especially Iraq ,this has a direct impact on the national economy as an important source in attracting hard currency and eliminating unemployment. Adding the Iraqi Marshlands to the list of effects makes it contribute to diversification of sources of income and stimulating rest of the economic sectors, the potentials and qualifications possessed by Iraq in the field of tourism and monuments have a significant impact on the state budget if they were exploited optimally. The research aims at identifying the contr

ABSTRACT Backgrounds: Maxillary canine impaction is complicated and time consuming to treat, for being highly diverse in inclination and location; it may be a companied by root resorption of the neighboring teeth. CBCT has been used for its' diagnostic reliability in localization of impacted canine and revealing its' serious local complications. Objectives: Localization of maxillary impacted canine using cone beam computed tomography for assessment of angulation, distance from occlusal plane, alveolar width and proximity to adjacent teeth. Subjects and Methods: The study sample was 33 subjects 16 females and 17 males attended to Al-Wasitti general hospital in Baghdad city-Oral and maxillofacial radiology department for CBCT scan investigati

There is substantial data supporting the importance of both endogenous and exogenous estrogen in maintaining reproductive health and preventing chronic disease, androgens in women's health are rarely discussed. This is one of the first researches to investigate correlates of blood testosterone concentrations in women with osteopenia, in anticipation of the growing interest in the role of androgens in women's health. A 65 volunteer women were enrolled in the current study, they were divided into two groups, 35 postmenopausal women with osteopenia were in the first group, and the second group contained 30 postmenopausal women without osteopenia as a control. Blood samples were collected from all participants and analyzed for testosterone l

Diagnostic testing for Helicobacter pylori can be divided into invasive and non-invasive techniques based upon the need for endoscopy. Serological test is one of the non – invasive tests although measuring these antibodies is not reliable method of diagnosis but may be used in certain condition.
Objectives: To evaluate serum IgG antibodies against Helicobacter pylori by ELISA technique.
Patients and Methods: The current study consisted of 115 patients (74 males, 41 females) attending The Gastrointestinal tract Center and Gastroscopy department in Baghdad Medical City and was subjected
