Obesity Impact on Heart Rate Variability Indices and the Modulation Effect of Regular Physical Activity.
...Show More Authors

Background: Obesity is imposing a growing threat to world health. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates visceral functions via balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. In the cardiovascular system (CVS) this non stationary balance results in the fluctuation between intervals of consecutive heart beats, so called heart rate variability (HRV). Obesity is one of the causative co-morbid conditions leading to metabolic and cardiac disorders as it is accompanied with varied combinations of abnormalities in the ANS, one view is that obese people have higher sympathetic tone. HRV measures the effect of autonomic function on the heart alone. Therefore, it could be the most useful method to investigate the effect of obesity on CVS as obesity is associated with decreased HRV. Regular physical activity has been shown to increase HRV in healthy individuals. Therefore, exercise training may improve cardiac autonomic regulation in a variety of clinical populations including obese individuals.

Objectives: to assess the alteration in cardiac autonomic function that may be associated with obesity by measuring HRV indices using (Holter monitoring) and to test the hypothesis that regular physical activity is associated with improved HRV.

Methods: A total of 49 asymptomatic obese individuals (28 males, 21 females) were recruited from Obesity Unit in Alkindy College of Medicine/ University of Baghdad.

Holter monitoring was applied to the obese individuals to assess HRV in addition to 47 healthy non-obese subjects of either sex as controls. All participants were subjected to 4-6 weeks moderate intensity of physical activity, and then Holter monitoring was repeated after the end of physical activity. Blood tests were done for all participants to exclude renal, liver and endocrine dysfunctions.

Results: all HRV indices were significantly low in obese subjects (p value less than 0.05) body mass index (BMI) was negatively correlated with overall HRV index (p= 0.0001, r= - 0.87). After onset of regular physical activity, all HRV indices were increased significantly in obese subjects whereas the increase in HRV indices in normal weight subjects did not reach the level of significance.

Conclusion: Obese subjects had a significant lower values of all HRV indices, overall low HRV values usually indicate a relative sympathetic dominance. BMI was negatively correlated with overall HRV index significantly in obese subjects. The significant increment in all HRV values in obese subjects after the onset of regular physical activity indicates a shift of sympathetic/parasympathetic balance towards increased vagal activity, which is a marker for cardiac autonomic modulation that may offset the negative effect of obesity.

Assessment <b></b>of Serum P53 Protein Level in Adult Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Correlation with Response to Treatment
...Show More Authors

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an adult leukemia characterized by rapid proliferation of undifferentiated myeloid precursors, leading to bone marrow (BM) failure and impaired erythropoiesis. The p53 tumor suppressor protein regulates cell division and inhibits tumor development by preventing cell proliferation of altered or damaged DNA. It orchestrates various cellular reactions, including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and antioxidant properties. Objectives: To investigate the relationship of P53 serum level with hematological findings, remission, and survival status in de novo AML patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that enrolled 63 newly diagnosed de novo AML patients, and 15 sex- and age-matched healt

فارسی Practical application of Jean René Ladmiral's model in translation from Arabic to Persian: کاربست عملی الگوی ژان رنه لادمیرال در ترجمه از عربی به فارسی
...Show More Authors

Translation is a dynamic and living process that cannot be considered equal to the original text and requires the appropriate structure, language, thought and culture of the target language, and the translator's intellectual, linguistic and cultural influences inadvertently penetrate into the translated text. It causes heterogeneity of the destination text with the source text.

Admiral's theory is trying to help by providing components and suggested approaches to resolve these inconsistencies. In the meantime, in addition to the mission of putting words together, the translator must sometimes sit in the position of the reader and judge and evaluate the translated text in order to understand its shortcomings and try to correct it a

Passive Design Strategies to Enhance Natural Ventilation in Buildings "Election of Passive Design Strategies to Achieve Natural Ventilation in Iraqi Urban Environment with Hot Arid Climate"
...Show More Authors

The natural ventilation in buildings is one of effective strategies for achieving energy efficiency in buildings by employing methods and ways of passive design, as well as its efficiency in providing high ranges of thermal comfort for occupants in buildings and raises their productivity. Because the concept of natural ventilation for many people confined to achieve through the windows and openings only, become necessary to provide this research to demonstrate the various passive design strategies for natural ventilation. Then, research problem: Insufficient knowledge about the importance and mechanism of the application of passive design strategies for natural ventilation in buildings. The research objective is: Analysis of passive desi

The comparison of double informative priors which are assumed for the reliability function of Pareto type I distribution. To estimate the reliability function of Pareto type I distribution by using Bayes estimation, will be  used two different kind of information in the Bayes estimation; two different priors have been selected for the parameter of Pareto  type I distribution . Assuming distribution of three double prior’s chi- gamma squared distribution, gamma - erlang distribution, and erlang- exponential distribution as double priors. The results of the derivaties of these estimators under the squared error loss function with two different double priors. Using the simulation technique, to compare the performance for

Hidden messages in (Pour un oui ou pour un non) of Nathalie Sarraute: Les messages cachés dans "Pour un oui ou pour un non" de Nathalie Sarraute
...Show More Authors

       The implicit is the narrative technique used to give indirect hidden messages. To read between the lines means to understand the implicit meaning that is not directly indicated. This technique is expressed in two forms: the hypothesis and the implications of linguistic and non-linguistic rules. Nathalie Sarraute’s "Pour un oui ou pour un non" states this narrative method through her character’s verbal and non-verbal dialogue. The present paper discusses the implicit method and shows the reason behind which  the author uses it in her play "Pour un oui ou pour un non".
