Hereditary renal tubular disorders: Single Iraqi center experience of 80 pediatric cases

Background: Hereditary renal tubular disorders (HRTDs) encompass various clinical syndromes and most of them have profound effects on child's growth and development,.

Patients and methods: We reviewed the medical records of eighty children (48 males and 32 females) seen over an eight years period from (sep.2004-may2012) at children welfare teaching hospital.Objectives: was to review our experience at children welfare teaching hospital in Baghdad with the various types of HRTDs and delineate the spectrum of clinical expression and outcome.

Results: The distribution of patients according to HRTD was as follows: (56.25%) proximal RTA (pRTA), (30 %) distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), (2.5%) type IV RTA, (10%) Bartter’s syndrome and (1.25%) Gitelman syndrome.  Age at diagnosis ranged between 1 month and 16 years. Overall, consanguinity rate was as high as 85%. Rate of affected siblings was 58.75%. Failure to thrive was common symptoms in all our patients’ with HRTDs. Renal failure was found in (24.4%) of patients with pRTA and 25% of patients with dRTA.

Hearing loss was present only in patients with dRTA (20.8%). Convulsions were noted in (37.7 %) of patients with pRTA, (16.6 %) patients with dRTA and the patient with Gitelman syndrome. Nephrocalcinosis were more common in dRTA patients (79.16%).

Conclusions: The high rate of consanguineous mating is likely to produce many heritable disorders including HRTDs by increasing the knowledge on demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of this rare disease group may serve to increase our current knowledge on this disease group making early diagnosis and life-saving treatment possible.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Anti-Microbial Study of Metal Complexes of Polycyclicacetal derived from PVA & Erythro-Ascorbic acid derivative

The aim of this work is the synthesis of new grafted PVA polymer with a derivative of Erythro-ascorbic acid (pentulosono-ɣ -lactone-2, 3-enedianisoate). All synthesized compounds were characterized by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and FTIR spectra and aldehyde was also characterized by (U.V-Vis), 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectra. They were also evaluated for antimicrobial properties by dilute method against four pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli ,Klebsiella pneumonae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus Albus) and two fungal (Aspergillus Niger, Yeast). All polymer metal complexes showed good activities against the various microbial isolates. The polymer metal complexes showed higher activity than the free polymer. The order of increa

The Antigenotoxicity of Eruca sativa Mill Extract on Bone marrow Cells of Male Albino Mice Treated With Vincristine

Chemotherapy drugs have a major role in fighting cancer but, that doesn’t mean they are clear
from side effect on human health. One of these drugs is vincristine this study, the
chemopreventive potency of the crude extract ofIn Eruca Sativa Mill Which have a good
reputation as antioxidant and anticancer against chromosomal aberration and suppressed
mitotic index in bonemarrow cells of male albino mice treated with 50µ1 of vincristine
intrapritoneally(ip) have been detected.
Results Showed a Significant increasing in the percentage of the mitotic index nearly to the
control group and a significant decrease in chromosomal aberration after (35) days of
treatment with 250 mg/kg crude extract of Erucas

Applying Scikit-learn of Machine Learning to Predict Consumed Energy in Al-Khwarizmi College of Engineering, Baghdad, Iraq

Globally, buildings use about 40% of energy. Many elements, such as the physical properties of the structure, the efficiency of the cooling and heating systems, the activity of the occupants, and the building’s sustainability, affect the energy consumption of a building. It is really difficult to predict how much energy a building will need. To improve the building’s sustainability and create sustainable energy sources to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion, estimating the building's energy use is necessary. This paper explains the energy consumed in the lecture building of the Al-Khwarizmi College of Engineering, University of Baghdad (UOB), Baghdad, Iraq. The weather data and the building construction informati

Assessment of the Healthy Women by Detection and Determination of Cells in Conventional Pap Stained Cervical Smear Images

Introduction: A Pap test can detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells in the vagina and uterine cervix. Cervical cancer is the easiest gynecologic cancer to be prevented and diagnosed using regular screening tests and follow-up. This study aimed to estimate the cytological changes and the precancerous lesions using Pap smear test and visual inspection of the cervices of Iraqi women, and also to determine the possible relationship of this cancer with patients’ demographic characteristics. Methods: The study included 140 women aged (18-67) years old referred to the National Cancer Research Center (NCRC), Baghdad, Iraq, during the period 2011-2016. Both visual inspections of the uterine cervix and Papanicolaou smear screening were performed

The impact of green strategy formulation processes on the adoption of green strategy areas at the functional level

The research aims at demonstrating the role of the formulation of the green strategy in adopting the areas of the green strategy at the level of jobs in the municipal institutions in the province of Babylon, specifically the Directorate of the municipality of Hilla. The most important areas related to the green strategy were highlighted directly or indirectly, after the indicators of environmental damage emerged from the actions of companies and institutions. The research included a sample size of 222 individual of municipal institutions with different job titles and specializations between the technical and administrative and different levels of academic achievement within the institutions within the Ministry of Construction, Ho
