Prospective Study of Sleeve Gastrectomy in Baghdad Teaching Hospital
...Show More Authors

Background: obesity is a common disease affecting more than 300 million adults worldwide. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a relatively new and effective procedure for weight loss, it is gaining acceptance among bariatric surgeons as a viable option for treating morbidly obese patients. We describe results of our experience with LSG in a community practice.

Objective:  We aimed to evaluate our experience with LSG with regard to its safety and feasibility and early weight loss.

Methods: prospective study done in Baghdad Teaching Hospital between February 2011 and November 2013, of 50 consecutive morbidly obese patients and was designed to study the efficacy and safety of the sleeve gastrectomy in this group of patients.

Results: The mean preoperative weight of the patients was 113.4 (range 91.0–170.0) kg, while the mean BMI was 42.6 (range 33.0– 60.0) kg/m2. Hypertension was present in 34%; hyperlipidaemia in 32% and Diabetes mellitus in 8% of the patients.  The majority of patients had two or more obesity-related comorbidities (52 %). Mean operative time was 142 minutes and duration of postoperative stay was three to nine days. At two weeks, one, three and six months post operation, the mean BMI was 38.6 kg/m2, 37.8 kg/m2, 34.5 kg/m2 and 30.8 kg/m2, the mean percentage of excess weight loss was 17.7 %, 23.3 %, 40.9 % and 56.7 %, and absolute weight loss was 8.00 kg, 11.52 kg, 18.77 kg and 26.85 kg, respectively.

Conclusion: LSG is a promising procedure for surgical treatment of obesity, with good early weight loss and low morbidity.

Association of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Gene Polymorphism at 279 Position of the 5’UTR Region with Body Weight Traits in Broiler Chicken
...Show More Authors

insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) gene has been described in several studies as a candidate gene for growth. The present study attempts to identify associations between body weight traits and polymorphisms at 279 position of 5'UTR flanking region of IGF-1 gene in broiler chickens. Three hundred broiler chickens from two breeds (Cobb 500 and Hubbard F-15) were used in this study. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at 279 position of 5'UTR region of the IGF-1 gene was identified in 20.6 and 60.3% of Cobb 500 and Hubbard F-15, respectively, using the PCR-RFLP technique. Allele frequencies were 83.87 and 42.80% for the T allele and 16.13 and 57.20% for the C allele in Cobb500 and Hubbard-15 breeds, respectively. Genotype frequencies were

Application of H-Point Standard Addition Method in Kinetic- Spectrophotometric Determination of Phenylephrine in Nasal Drops and Tetracycline in Capsule
...Show More Authors

A new simultaneous spectrophotometric-kinetic method was developed to determine phenylephrine (PHEN) and tetracycline (TETR) via H-point standard addition method (HPSAM). The proposed procedures rely on the measurements of the difference in the rate of charge-transfer (CT) reaction between each of PHEN and TETR as electron donors with p-Bromanil (p-Br) as an electron acceptor. Different experimental factors which affect the extent of the complex formation were investigated by monitoring the value of absorbance at 446 nm. Time pair of 50 -100 sec was selected and employed, among different examined pairs since it results in the highest accuracy for HPSAM-plot. Linear calibration graphs in the concentration ranges of 10.0-40.0 and 10.0–50.0
