The Prevalence of Phenylketonuria and other metabolic diseases in sick Iraqi children; the importance of the newborn screening program.
...Show More Authors

Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most important metabolic causes for mental retardation in children, in which early diagnosis would successfully prevent mental retardation, yet, there are some other serious metabolic diseases that share the same mode of presentation and some of the phenotypic manifestations also.
Methods:
During the period from August 2009 to August 2011, 63 cases were referred to the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital (CWTH) with clinical features  of PKU,  all were enrolled in this study, few blood drops on a special filter paper were taken from each patient and sent to a specialized metabolic laboratory in Saint Joseph University \Beirut, using tandem mass spectrophotometry (MS/MS). The results were received through internet after being analyzed and interpreted.Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PKU and other inborn errors of metabolism among sick children, presenting with clinical features suggestive of PKU, what are the diseases that share same clinical presentation of PKU, and make a proper early diagnosis and management when possible.

Results: out of the 63 cases, only 28(44.4%) came positive with different diseases, only 7(11.1%) were cases of PKU. The results also showed some other Inborn Errors of Metaboilsm(IEM): homocystinuria(HCY)or methionine adenosyltransferase(MAT) 7(11.1%),Methylmalonic academia (MMA)4(6.3%), maple serum urine disease (MSUD) in 3 cases(4.7%).The consanguinity was positive in 41 cases (65%). Positive family history was documented in 23(36.5%).All PKU cases had the background of consanguineous marriages (100%).

Conclusions: PKU is one of the most important metabolic cause for mental retardation in our study, but some other serious metabolic defects like homocystinuria(HCY) or MAT, organic acidemias, maple syrup urine  disease(MSUD) also causes mental retardation and share some of the phenotypic manifestations of PKU. Many families had positive history of affected siblings,especially those with consanguineous marriages.

Speaking Truth to Power: Core Principles for Advancing International Journalism Education
...Show More Authors

A confluence of forces has brought journalism and journalism education to a precipice. The rise of fascism, the advance of digital technology, and the erosion of the economic foundation of news media are disrupting journalism and mass communication (JMC) around the world. Combined with the increasingly globalized nature of journalism and media, these forces are posing extraordinary challenges to and opportunities for journalism and media education. This essay outlines 10 core principles to guide and reinvigorate international JMC education. We offer a concluding principle for JMC education as a foundation for the general education of college students.

Newly developed method for determination of methyldopa drug using ammonium ceric (IV) nitrate by continuous flow injection analysis via homemade NAG-ADF-300-2 analyser
...Show More Authors

A new, simple, sensitive and fast developed method was used for the determination of methyldopa in pure and pharmaceutical formulations by using continuous flow injection analysis. This method is based on formation a burgundy color complex between methyldopa andammonium ceric (IV) nitrate in aqueous medium using long distance chasing photometer NAG-ADF-300-2. The linear range for calibration graph was 0.05-8.3 mmol/L for cell A and 0.1-8.5 mmol/L for cell B, and LOD 952.8000 ng /200 µL for cell A and 3.3348 µg /200 µL for cell B respectively with correlation coefficient (r) 0.9994 for cell A and 0.9991 for cell B, RSD % was lower than 1 % for n=8. The results were compared with classical method UV-Spectrophotometric at λ max=280 n

  The research explain the developments in the structure of government Expenditure for the period (1990-2014), this period include tow different periods in terms of the conditions, the first period (1990-2002)characterized by imposing the economic sanctions and deny the Iraqi economy from the oil revenues, while the second period (2003-2014) marked by abundance resource rents as a result of lifting the ban on oil exports, (autoregressive Distributed lag Model) has been used to measure the impact of government Expenditure in both side current and investment in the oil-GDP (gross domestic product) and non oil-GDP, the stady found that there is no significant relationship between current Expenditure in non-oil and oil-GDP in bo

Determine Most Stable Isobar for Nuclides with A= (15-30) & (101- 115)
...Show More Authors

In this study the most stable isobar for some isobaric families (light and  intermediate ) nuclei with mass number (A) equals to (15-30) & (101- 115) have been determined. This determination of stable nuclide can help to determine the suitable nuclide, which can be used in different fields.

Most stable isobar can be determined by two means. First: plot mass parabolas (plotting the binding energy (B.E) as a function of the atomic number (Z)) for these isobaric families, in this method most stable isobars represent the lowest point in mass parabola (the nuclide with the highest value of binding energy).

Second: calculated the atomic number for most stable isobar (ZA) value.

Our results show that

Assessment of ISNAG fluorimeter (Total fluorescence measurements at+ 90° & - 90° using four solar cell on each side for 100mm distance at 2mm path length) with well-known fluorescent molecules via CFIA
...Show More Authors

Two well-known fluorescent molecules: fluorescein sodium salt (FSS) and 2,7-dichloro fluorescein (DCF) were tried to prove the efficiency, trustability and repeatability of ISNAG fluorimeter by using discrete and continuous flow injection analysis modes.A linear range of 0.002-1 mmol/L for FSS and 0.003-0.7 mmol/L was for DCF, with LOD 0.0018 mmol/L and 0.002 mmol/L for FSS and DCF respectively, were obtained for discrete mode of analysis. While the continuous mode gave a linear range of 0.002-0.7 mmol/L and 0.003-0.5 mmol/L for FSS and DCF respectively, the LOD were 0.0016mmol/L and 0.0018 mmol/L for FSS and DCF respectively. The results were compared with classical method at variable λex for both fluorescent molecules at 95
