Sixty-four multi-slice cerebral CT angiographic findings in early non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
...Show More Authors

Background:  spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is subtype of hemorrhagic stroke with extremely poor prognosis. It’s a medical emergency and can lead to death or severe disability even when recognized and treated at an early stage. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is frequently become the initial step in detecting intracranial aneurysms and planning therapeutic interventions.

Objectives: to analyze the findings of non traumatic SAH in cerebral CTA and characterization of the underlying causes, emphasizing the importance of CTA as a new advent investigation in Iraq.

Received Mar .2014

Accepted May. 2014

Patients and methods: This cross sectional study performed on 62 patients with non-traumatic SAH who underwent CTA in Baghdad Teaching Hospital at medical city-Baghdad from August 2012–August 2013 of patients with highly clinical suspicion of SAH or those who were diagnosed by native computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  the sample of the study  was  consist  of 37 males and  25 females, age of patients  ranged  from 1-70 years; all patients examined by CTA using 64 multi-slice CT.

Results: From 62 patients in our study, 10 patients have negative finding, 38 have aneurysm, 7 have AVM, 5 have cavernoma and 2 patients have venous angioma. 81.6 % of the aneurysms were saccular and 18.4% were fusiform in shape and mostly (89.5%) supratentorial in location and 10.5% infratentorially, which is single in 84.2% and more than one in 15.8% of patients. The most frequent types of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) were parenchymal (71.4%), from which the size 3-6 cm was most frequent (60%), while the Dural AVM identified in 28.6% of patients; from which, the size 3 cm most frequent size (66.6%) and no cases reported with mixed types.

Conclusion: CTA can provide rapid, minimally-invasive evaluation of broad spectrum of cerebrovascular disorders and CTA adequate for detecting aneurysms in symptomatic SAH patients especially when conjoined with native CT, also CTA is helpful in intervention planning.

Assessment of Soil and Water Properties in the Central Marshes Southern Iraq
...Show More Authors

The Central Marshes are one of southern Iraq's most important wetlands and ecosystems. A study on evaluating soil quality and water quality in terms of chemical properties at certain sites in the southern Iraqi Central Marshes has been conducted to investigate their types and suitability for enhancing the agricultural reality of most field crops. Soil and water samples were collected from 15 sites and transferred to the laboratory. In the lab, the following parameters were determined: electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved salts (TDS), organic materials (OM), pH, gypsum, and total sulfate content (SO3). The tests conducted on the samples indicated that it could be said that the soil of the Central Marshes

Abstract<p>in this article, we present a definition of k-generalized map independent of non-expansive map and give infinite families of non-expansive and k-generalized maps new iterative algorithms. Such algorithms are also studied in the Hilbert spaces as the potential to exist for asymptotic common fixed point.</p>

The object of the presented study was to monitor the changes that had happened
in the main features (water, vegetation, and soil) of Al-Hammar Marsh region. To
fulfill this goal, different satellite images had been used in different times, MSS
1973, TM 1990, ETM+ 2000 and MODIS 2010. K-Means which is unsupervised
classification and Neural Net which is supervised classification was used to classify
the satellite images 0Tand finally by use 0Tadaptive classification 0Twhich is0T3T 0T3Tapply
s0Tupervised classification on the unsupervised classification. ENVI soft where used
in this study.

New Mutations in GyrA Gene of Escherichia Coli Isolated form Iraqi Patients
...Show More Authors

The present study included a collecting of 165 specimens form different sources,
93 isolates were identified as Escherichia coli depending on morphological and
biochemical tests in addition to automated systems such as VITEK 2 and api 20E.
All isolates under study developed high resistance toward cefotaxime, ceftazidime,
ceftriaxone, and ciprofloxacin estimated by minimum inhibitory concentration. Stool
and wound specimens characterized by harbouring the highest resistant isolates in a
percentage reached 100% against antibiotics under study. Insignificant differences
were found between isolates collected from males and females. Upon using disk
displacement method to detect extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBL),

Green Nanotechnology of MGF-AuNPs for Immunomodulatory Intervention in Prostate Cancer Therapy
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) face poor prognosis and increased risk of treatment-incurred adverse effects resulting in one of the highest mortalities among patient population globally. Immune cells act as double-edged sword depending on the tumor microenvironment, which leads to increased infiltration of pro-tumor (M2) macrophages. Development of new immunomodulatory therapeutic agents capable of targeting the tumor microenvironment, and hence orchestrating the differentiation of pro-tumor M2 macrophages to anti-tumor M1, would substantially improve treatment outcomes of CRPC patients. We report, herein, Mangiferin functionalized gold nanoparticles (MGF-AuNPs) and its</p> ... Show More

Selective Extraction of Metformin in Pharmaceutical Preparation via Synthesized MIP-SPE Techniqu
...Show More Authors

       This work demonstrates the synthesis and storage of molecular-imprinted polymers (MIP) at room temperature using bulk polymerisation of Metformin (Met) characterized by high sensitivity, low cost, and high stability. To ensure an acceptable adsorption capacity, the research employed 0.8:4:20 mmol ratios of template, monomer, and cross-linking agents for the polymerization. A functional monomer, 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulphonic acid C7H13NO4S, was cross-linked with N,N-methylene bisacrylamide C7H10N2O2 to form Met-MIP, which could be characterized using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer at 236 nm, FT-IR spectroscopy, and scanning electron

Study of Histological Structure of Mesencephalon in White Cheeked Bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis)
...Show More Authors

The histological structure of Pycnonotus leucotis was investigated to fill the dearth of information on the histology of mid-brain from available literature and help understand its brain. The brain is wide and short and its length 1.5 cm, and it consists of three regions. The middle region is the mesencephalon. The mesencephalon was divided into optic tectum and tegmentum. The optic tectum consists of six main layers, while the tegmentum contains nuclei of cranial nerves.

The Multifunctional Morphemes in Kurdish Language the Morpheme Le as an example
...Show More Authors

Kurdish language multifunctional morphemes indicate the different functional morphological, syntactical, and semantic tasks of the morphemes. The present study discusses the multifunctional task of the Morpheme Le in Kurdish Language. The Morpheme Le has marginally been included in other studies, yet up to the present times, there has not been a research inclusively dedicated to thoroughly discuss and clarify its multifunctional aspects. The present study is divided into two chapters: Chapter one discusses the theoretical aspect of chapter two that is entirely concerned with the practical aspect of the morpheme Le. The first part of chapter one sheds light on the morphological aspect of the morpheme while part two discusses

       Improving performance is an important issue in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). WSN has many limitations including network performance. The research question is how to reduce the amount of data transmitted to improve network performance?                                                                                                                  

    The work will include one of the dictionary compression methods which is Lempel Ziv Welch(LZW). One problem with the dictionary method is that the token size is fixed. The LZW dictionary method is not very useful with little data, because it loses many byt
