Transatrial approach for total tetralogy of Fallot TOF correction: analysis of 24 cases.
...Show More Authors

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot TOF is the most common cause of congenital cyanotic heart disease. It is the most common congenital lesion that is likely to result in survival to adulthood and encountered in adult after repair. Tetralogy of Fallot comprises around 7.5 % of all congenital heart diseases in Iraq.
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse the transatrial strategy for total correction of tetralogy of Fallot TOF.
Methods: Cross-sectional study was done during the period between 2012-2014 for twenty-four patients that admitted to Ibn Al-Bitar hospital in Baghdad with amenable TOF pathology for transatrial repair.
Results: Twenty-four patients, 16 were males and 8 were females. Ages ranged from 2-31 years. There was no early or late postoperative mortality in this review for follow-up period ranged from 6 – 24 months. The early and late postoperative echocardiography data in regard to pulmonary and tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricle RV function were delineated. Normal pulmonary valve (62.5%, 58.3%), mild pulmonary regurgitation (29.2%, 37.5%), moderate pulmonary regurgitation (8.3%, 4.2%). Normal tricuspid valve (75%, 70.8%), mild tricuspid regurgitation (20.8%, 20.8%), moderate tricuspid regurgitation (4.2%, 8.3%) respectively. No severe pulmonary or tricuspid regurgitation was reported. Postoperative RV function was normal in (87.5%, 83.3%), mild RV dysfunction in (8.3%, 12.5%), moderate RV dysfunction in (4.2%, 4.2%) respectively. No severe RV dysfunction was reported. The mean RVOT pressure gradient was 36.8 mmHg. This gradient decreased on follow-up echocardiography, mean 24.5 mmHg. P values were less than 0.05%.
Conclusion: The transatrial approach is a feasible technique for total repair of TOF in adequate pulmonary annulus size with satisfactory late postoperative echocardiography performance.

الخلفية:ان رباعية فالوت هي اكثر اسباب مرض ازرقاق الدم الولادي شيوعآ. وهو اكثر تشوهات القلب الخلقية التي تستمر في الحياة الى البلوغ، وتصادف عند البالغين بعد عمليات التصليح. ويشكل تشوه رباعية فالوت حوالي ٧.٥٪ من امراض القلب الخلقية في العراق.  

الهدف:ان الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو اجراء تحليل لطريقة عبر الاذين في عملية التصليح الكامل لرباعية فالوت.

الطرائق. هي دراسة مستعرضة تمت للفترة من ٢٠١٢ ولغاية ٢٠١٤. تم دراسة ٢٤ طفل ادخلوا في مستشفى ابن البيطار في بغداد، كان لديهم تشوه يسمح بالتداخل عبر الاذين.

النتائج٢٤ حالة، ١٨ ذكور و ٨ اناث. الاعمار تتراوح من ٢ ـ٣١ سنة. لم تسجل حالة موت بدائية او متقدمة في الدراسة الحالية ولمدة متابعة ٦ الى ٢٤ شهرا. معدل وقت دوران ماكنة القلب الصناعية كان ١٢٧ دقيقة. ومعدل غلق الشريان الابهر كان ١٠٣ دقيقة. ان مشاهدات فحص الامواج الصائتة القلبية مبكرا و متأخرا بعد العملية كان كما يلي، صمام رئوي طبيعي ٦٢.٥٪ و ٥٨.٣٪ ، تهدل الصمام الرئوي البسيط ٢٩.٢٪ و ٣٧.٥٪، تهدل الصمام الرئوي المعتدل ٨.٣٪ و٤.٢٪. صمام ثلاثي طبيعي ٧٥٪ و ٧٠.٨٪، تهدل الصمام الثلاثي البسيط ٢٠.٨٪ و ٢٠.٨٪، تهدل الصمام الثلاثي المعتدل ٤.٢٪ و ٨.٣٪. لاتوجد حالة تهدل صمام رئوي او ثلاثي شديد. كانت فعالية البطين الايمن الطبيعية ٨٧.٥٪ و ٨٣.٣٪، بسيطة الاعتلال ٨.٣٪ و ١٢.٥٪ معتدلة الاعتلال٤.٢٪ و ٤.٢٪، ولم تسجل شديدة الاعتلال. ان معدل نسب فرق الضغط عبر منفذ البطين الايمن كان ٣٦.٨ ملم زئبق. ان هذا الفرق يتضائل مع امتداد الفترة الزمنية، معدل ٢٤.٥ ملم زئبق. قيم معامل p كانت اقل من  ٠.٠٥ ٪.

الاستنتاج: ان طريقة عبر الاذين هي الية ممكنة في الاصلاح الكامل لرباعية فالوت بوجود حجم حلقة رئوية كافي مع اداء مرضي لفحص الامواج الصائتة القلبية المتأخر.

Influence of Glow and Afterglow Times on the Discharge Current of Argon at Low Pressure
...Show More Authors

     An experimental investigation of the variation of argon discharge current with a glow and afterglow time intervals of a square discharge voltage was carried out at low pressure (6-11 mbar). The discharge was created between two circular metal electrodes of diameter (7.5 cm), separated horizontally by a distance (10 cm) at the two ends of a Pyrex cylindrical tube. A composite of two Gaussian functions has been suggested to fit and explain the variation graphs clearly. It is shown that the necessary times of glow and afterglow needed to attain a maximum discharge current are (70 us) and (60 us), respectively. The discharge current is observed to drop to the lowest value when the two times are serially longer than (85 us) and (72 u

Utilization of Design Principles of Nature in Innovating Contemporary Metal Products: علياء عبد العزيز الفـدّا
...Show More Authors

The paper studies the science of “Biomimicry” or imitation of nature, and how to utilize it to create contemporary designs. It starts by defining biomimicry and innovation. Then, the style of imitating nature is highlighted, which is considered one of the most important methods of innovation. It includes simulating animals and plants (in their environmental conditions) to use the natural and dynamic design solutions to produce innovative designs, that enhance the concept of sustainability. Various forms of natural species are presented, to show their benefit in contemporary metal product designs. Finally, a model of a metal lighting unit is developed, where innovative ideas inspired by silkworm cocoon are used in its design. The stud
