Surgery In Infective Endocarditis

Background: Early surgery during the active phase of infective endocarditis was considered to carry high morbidity and mortality due to technical difficulties on an inflamed tissues.

Objectives: Is to focus a light on the increasing indications for surgery during the active phase of infective endocarditis which lead to significant drop in the hospital mortality.  

Patients and Methods: Eighteen patients with bacterial endocarditis and valvular dysfunction were admitted to Iraqi center for heart diseases during the period from January 2008 –April 2013. All of them were fully investigated and adequately prepared for open heart surgery.

Result: Seven-teen patients were successfully treated surgically with uneventful post-operative course. One patient developed another attack of prosthetic valve endocarditis which mandates a redo surgery .Only one patients died two years later.

Conclusion: The indications for surgery and its timing are difficult decisions to take . Close follow up , collaboration between cardiologist cardiac surgeon and laboratory personnels are mandatory.

Permeability estimation of Yamama formation in a Southern Iraqi oil field, case study

Permeability is one of the essential petrophysical properties of rocks, reflecting the rock's ability to pass fluids. It is considered the basis for building any model to predict well deliverability. Yamama formation carbonate rocks are distinguished by sedimentary cycles that separate formation into reservoir units and insulating layers, a very complex porous system caused by secondary porosity due to substitute and dissolution processes. Those factors create permeability variables and vary significantly. Three ways used for permeability calculation, the firstly was the classical method, which only related the permeability to the porosity, resulting in a weak relationship. Secondly, the flow zone indicator (FZI) was divided reservoir into

Morphological Description and Histological Study of Thyroid Gland in Felis catus (Linnaeus,1758)

The results of the current study showed that the thyroid gland in an adult domestic cat (Felis catus) is located in the neck area on both sides of the trachea at rings 1–5. The gland consists of two lobes (right and left), and it is surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue consisting of two outer and inner layers, and a layer of fatty tissue overlaps with the outer layer of the capsule. In addition, the results of this study found that the histological structure of the thyroid gland is composed of several follicles that appear in different sizes and shapes. The follicles are lined with simple cuboidal epithelial tissue and sometimes appear lined with high and low simple cuboidal epithelial tissue. The gland is histologically c

Reconstruction of Female Identity Through Unattainable Beauty Standards in Zadie Smith's White Teeth

Black females or colored skin females because of the oppression of the white society upon them, try hard to cope with society in order to get some relief and feel that they are part of this cruel white society.

Discriminatory and Racist Discourse in American TV Channels: The Image of Arab Immigrants

The present study examines critically the discursive representation of Arab immigrants in selected American news channels. To achieve the aim of this study, twenty news subtitles have been exacted from ABC and NBC channels. The selected news subtitles have been analyzed within van Dijk’s (2000) critical discourse analysis framework. Ten discourse categories have been examined to uncover the image of Arab immigrants in the American news channels. The image of Arab immigrants has been examined in terms of five ideological assumptions including "us vs. them", "ingroup vs. outgroup", "victims vs. agents", "positive self-presentation vs. negative other-presentation", and "threat vs. non-threat". Analysis of data reveals that Arab immig
