Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis in Al-Ramadi City
...Show More Authors

Background: Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a viral conjunctivitis caused by a group of adenoviruses. EKC is highly contagious and has a tendency to occur in epidemics.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fluorometholone(0.1%) eye drop in the management of viral EKC in Al-Ramadi city .
Patients and methods: 300 patients were examined in the private clinic at Al-Nahrain Eye Specialty center from February 2009 to September 2011 and follow up of the patients extended from 3months to 12 months.Those patients were divided into two groups: first group includes 150 patients(95 males and 55 females, aged from 1 year to 65 years) was treated by cold compresses with lubricant eye drop without the use of fluorometholone eye drop.Second group includes 150 patients(80 males and 70 females, aged from1 year to 65 years) was treated by cold compresses with lubricant eye drop and fluorometholone (0.1%) eye drop.
Results: Regarding the first group, this study showed that recovery without sequelae was noted in 63(42%) patients. Corneal subepithelial opacities were detected in 76(50.6%) patients, while 10(6.6%) patients developed conjunctival scarring, and only one (0.6%) developed conjunctival cyst.
Data from the second group showed that 120(80%) patients recovered without complications, while 30(20%) patients developed subepithelial opacities and no one(0%) develop conjunctival scarring or conjunctival cyst.
Conclusion: Use of fluorometholone eye drop in treatment of EKC : Alleviate the patient's symptoms, decrease the course of the disease and decrease the occurrence of subepithelial opacities.
So it is recommended to use fluorometholone (0.1%) eye drop in the treatment of EKC.

Investigating the Aerodynamic Surface Roughness Length over Baghdad City Utilizing Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques
...Show More Authors

This study calculated the surface roughness length (Zo), zero-displacement length (Zd) and height of the roughness elements (ZH) using GIS applications. The practical benefit of this study is to classify the development of Baghdad, choose the appropriate places for installing wind turbines, improve urban planning, find rates of turbulence, pollution and others. The surface roughness length (Zo) of Baghdad city was estimated based on the data of the wind speed obtained from an automatic weather station installed at Al-Mustansiriyah University, the data of the satellite images digital elevation model (DEM), and the digital surface model (DSM), utilizing Remote Sensing Techniques. The study area w

Unplanned Urbanization and Agricultural Land Degradation in Baghdad City from 2003 to 2017: احمد عباس كاظم , ليث زيد عباس
...Show More Authors

Several problems have emerged as a result of urban expansion or the connection of urban areas with rural areas. This process has led to the urbanization of rural areas, and to have overlapping edges and margins of areas, which were outside the basic design of the city. Accordingly, the present research assumes that the accelerating growth of Baghdad population has contributed significantly to the process of unplanned urbanization. Thus, the study aims to examine the factors that have led to an increase of urban sprawl at the expense of the agricultural land. The study has thus adopted the descriptive, analytical, and historical approaches relying on the simple linear regression method to predict the phenomenon of urban expansion and its

Role of Programmed Cell Death-1 and Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 immune checkpoint biomarkers among chronic Hepatitis C virus patients under Hemodialysis
...Show More Authors

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the most common infections associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in Iraq.

Aim of the study: To determine the prognostic factor value of Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) and Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint biomarkers among CKD patients with HCV infection under HD.

Methodology: ELISA technique was used for the measurement of the above-mentioned biomarkers in the serum of 90 Iraqi patients. The participants were divided into three groups; Group I included 30 patients infected with HCV without antiviral treatment, group II included 30 patients infected wit

Background:

Objectives : This prospective   study aimed to  estimate interleukins 1 and 10  levels in acute  hepatitis (G) in Iraqi patients with leukemiaHepatitis G virus and GB virus C (GBV-C)  RNA viruses that were independently identified in 1995, and were subsequently found to be two isolates of the same virus. Blood transfusion is the main risk factor for HGV transmission Immune-mediated mechanisms are believed to play an important pathogenic role in  hepatitis G virus infection. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays an important role in the inflammatory process. implying that IL-1 may play a role in viral clearance and  suggesting that IL-1 has direct antiviral

Mean Monte Carlo Finite Difference Method for Random Sampling of a Nonlinear Epidemic System
...Show More Authors

In this article, a numerical method integrated with statistical data simulation technique is introduced to solve a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations with multiple random variable coefficients. The utilization of Monte Carlo simulation with central divided difference formula of finite difference (FD) method is repeated n times to simulate values of the variable coefficients as random sampling instead being limited as real values with respect to time. The mean of the n final solutions via this integrated technique, named in short as mean Monte Carlo finite difference (MMCFD) method, represents the final solution of the system. This method is proposed for the first time to calculate the numerical solution obtained fo
