Evaluation of Moderate Closed Head Injury by Visual Evoked Response
...Show More Authors

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem. Even injuries classified as mild which is the most common, can result in persistent neurobehavioural impairment. Diffuse axonal injury is a common finding after TBI, and is presumed to contribute to outcomes, but may not always be apparent using standard neuroimaging. All severities of TBI can result in a degree of axonal damage, while irreversible myelin damage was only apparent for moderate to severe TBI.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of moderate closed head injury on visual evoked response (VER) and to assess the changes in VER 6 months later as follow up indices.

Subjects and methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurophysiology /Hospital of Neurosurgery/Baghdad from November 2010 to February 2012, using Esoata Italian machine. Ninety three patients with moderate closed head injury (49 female and 44 male), with an age range from (5 -51) years, with a mean age of (26±11.95) years, were chosen according to Glasgow coma scale (9-12 score) undergo VER and only 86patients will  follow up by VER and both were compared to control group of 55 healthy subjects.

Results: P100 wave latency of visual evoked response (VER) was found to be significantly prolonged (P100= 145.41±9.67 msec.), in patients with moderate head injury at an early measurement after injury as compared to that of the healthy (P100= 97.66±4.58 msec.), whereas, the amplitude of P100 at an early measurements is reduced significantly (2.71± 0.77 µv) when compared to healthy subjects (7.32± 1.62 µv). By 6 months post injury the latency of P100was significantly prolonged (P100=137.19±8.45msec.) when compared to that of control group, while it is significantly reduced when compared to the patients with head injury at an early measurements. However, at 6months post injury the P100 amplitude was significantly increased (amplitude =3.26±0.62μv) when compared to the patients with head injury at an early measurement whereas, significantly reduced when compared to the control group.

Conclusion: this study revealed that head injury had serious effect on the brain functions reflected by changes in VER which needs long period of time to return to normal levels.

Genotyping of HLA-class-I and II by PCR-SSP of Patients with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common condition characterised by recurrent episodes of oral ulceration. Genetic factors have been implicated by numerous studies on the association of recurrent aphthous stomatitis and the genetically determined HLA subtypes.
Objectives: Current study was established to shed light on the possible association of HLA class I and II alleles with recurrent aphthous stomatitis in Iraqi patients.
Subjects and Methods: The study included 55 subjects: 30 recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients and 25 apparently healthy subjects as control. Polymerase chain reaction-specific sequence primers (PCR- SSP) assay was conducted to assess HLA- typing.
Results: The present s

The semiotics of the visual image of women in the discourse of empowerment, Saudi Arabia Kingdom as a model
...Show More Authors

We studied, in this paper, the semiotics of the visual image of women in the discourse of empowerment, through three models of advertising images expressing the particularities of the Saudi Arabian environment.

We aim to know how the mark operates and how it is interpreted, as a semantic process in which the meaning ranges from description to interpretation, and we studied two hypotheses:

-The advertising image is a structure in which the mark corresponds to the reality and the discourse to the context.

-The significance is not found in the visual sign or in the textual sign of the advertising image, but in the creative event that opens up to the social, cultural, and psychological context, and creates a field of dia

A Performance Study of the Prototype Fixed, Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Solar Cell Tracking Systems
...Show More Authors

      In order to increase the amount of solar radiation reaching a solar panel, and hence increase its performance, a tracking system might be used. A prototype of an efficient and portable solar tracking system, for home applications was constructed. The Arduino Uno Microcontroller is utilized to drive the proposed tacking system. The results of area under curve show that at certain circumstances, the open-loop tracking system is more efficient as compared with fixed one, while  the closed-loop tracker is slightly efficient than open-loop tracker.
