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.

Uterine involution after term childbirth
...Show More Authors

Background: uterine involution is the process by which the postpartum uterus returning to its prepregnant state by the process of autolysis. The aim of the study is to fallow the uterine involution sonographicly during the first two weeks of puerperium and clinical correlation of several puerperal conditions was sought.
Patients and methods: One hundred full term women were delivered in one of Baghdad hospital during a six month period were followed by serial sonogram during the first two weeks of the puerperal period to show the normal process of uterine regression in relation to several condition .The rate of uterine involution were shown as percentage drop in uterine volume at day (7) and day (14)&nbsp

Dynamics and its Effects on Saturation Region in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
...Show More Authors

We focus on studying the dynamics of bulk semiconductor optical amplifiers and their effects on the saturation region for short pulse that differ, however there is the same unsaturated gain for both dynamics. Parameters like current injection, fast dynamics present by carrier heating (CH), and spectra hole burning (SHB) are studied for regions that occur a response to certain dynamics. The behavior of the saturation region is found to be responsible for phenomena such as recovery time and chirp for the pulse under study.

      In this paper, we introduce and study the notation of approximaitly quasi-primary submodules of a unitary left -module  over a commutative ring  with identity. This concept is a generalization of prime and primary submodules, where a proper submodule  of an -module  is called an approximaitly quasi-primary (for short App-qp) submodule of , if , for , , implies that either  or , for some . Many basic properties, examples and characterizations of this concept are introduced.

Alliteration strategy In Contemporary Architecture
...Show More Authors

The contemporary ideas were characterized by the abundance and diversity of their knowledge, human and conceptual production, the strategy is both a general and a detailed framework covering all design disciplines both inside and outside the field of architecture. From here, many of these terraces emerged from fields outside the field of architecture, but soon moved to form an important nerve within the field of architecture. Hence the need to define a more comprehensive framework for studying one of the concepts that can frame the framework, namely the concept of "Alliteration", and its adoption as an architectural design strategy aimed at giving the resulting form a feature of rhetoric. So the research highlighted the

Soft tissue sarcomas: Evaluation by immunohistochemistry
...Show More Authors

Soft tissue sarcomas represent a histologically heterogenous group of malignant tumors arising from the soft tissue compartments, i.e smooth muscles, skeletal muscles, adipose tissue, blood vessels, connective tissue mesenchyme, neural tissue and other tumors of uncertain histogenesis(1). Soft tissue sarcomas are relatively rare tumors, represent less than 1% of adult malignancies based on data report from American Cancer Society (2). The crude incidence rate in Iraq for soft tissue sarcomas was 219/ 100,000 population during 2014 with male: female ratio of 1.3:1, and highest peak age between 30-34 years (3). The histological subtype and microscopic criteria are two parameters that influence the tumor grade which is the best predictor fo

...Show More Authors

This study aimed to extract, purify, and characterize the protease of local Okra Abelmoschus esculentus pods. The extraction process was conducted using ten extraction solutions with different pH and ionic strength values. Phosphate buffer solution with (pH 7, 0.05M, containing 2% sodium chloride) gave the highest activity which was (7.2 Unit/ml) as compared to other solutions, which ranged from 0.8-5.9 Unit/ml. The extracted enzyme purified by several stages. Being, precipitation by gradual addition of Ammonium sulphate from 20 to 85% saturation, then the precipitated enzyme was dialyzed and fractionated through DEAE-Cellulose (22X1.1cm), the enzymic fractions were pooled. The specific activity, purification fold and the enzyme yield value

Laminar Free Convection in Three Dimensional Inclined Porous Annulus with Fins on the Inner Cylinder
...Show More Authors

An experimental and numerical study was carried out to investigate the heat transfer by natural convection in a three dimensional annulus enclosure filled with porous media (silica sand) between two inclined concentric cylinders with (and without) annular fins attached to the inner cylinder under steady state condition. The experiments were carried out for a range of modified Rayleigh number (0.2 ≤Ra*≤ 11) and extended to Ra*=500 for numerical study and for annulus inclination angle of (δ = 0˚, 30˚, 60˚ and 90˚). The numerical study was to give the governing equation under assumptions that used Darcy law and Boussinesq’s approximation and then it was solved numerically using finite difference approximation. It was found that t
