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.

The effect of inhibin B on ovarian response in subjects with polycystic ovary
...Show More Authors

Background: Inhibin B hormone is one of the indicative parameters in measuring ovarian reserve ,which is important to be evaluated, since it is one of the markers of the female reproductive potential especially in polycystic ovary patients (PCOS) which is a common cause of anovulatory infertility.
Patients and methods: Ninty four infertile polycystic ovaries women, attending the infertility clinic at Baghdad teaching hospital, during the period of October 2005 to December 2006, were compared to 62 control group women who have unexplained infertility. After exact history and examination, inhibin level measurement was done in cycle day 3, the patients are divided according to age into 2 groups (more than 35

Medico-legal Study of Shockwave Damage by High Velocity Missiles in Firearm Injuries
...Show More Authors

Background: Many variables determine the destructive capacity of a weapon; missile velocity is an important consideration. Wounding capability of a missile depends on the amount of kinetic energy dissipated in the tissues. A penetrating high velocity missile (usually bullets) transfers a destructive energy called shock wave to the surrounding tissues.
Objective: To detect and estimate tissues damage away from the main track of high velocity missiles in firearm rifled weapons injuries.
Methods: This cross-sectional study is performed in medico-legal institute in Baghdad for (8) month’s duration from (1-1-2010) to (1-9-2010). Full proper autopsy including external and internal examination of the body for all cases was performed, an

Assessment of CD56 and CD14 by IHC in Placental tissues from women with miscarriage
...Show More Authors

Background: Among many possible causes, CD14, CD 56, were implicated in immune mechanisms and might be involved in pregnancy loss. However the role of these Immunological factors has not been clearly elucidated. Some authors have shown that women with reproductive failure (such as spontaneous miscarriage) have increased CD14, uNK cells numbers; where as other authors reported no difference or even reduced numbers.
Objective: The aim of this study was to have an insight in a panel of the immunological factors shared in the placental microenvironment in an attempt to find a close relationships of these markers to the state of abortions.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry technique assay was used to detect CD14 and CD56 in 40 women with sp

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
