Ultrasound Findings of MammographicallyDense Breasts in a Sample of Iraqi Female PatientsDOI:https
...Show More Authors
Background: Breast problems including breast cancer have been increasing in Iraq during the recent years. Yet, early detection and screening programs using mammography mainly with complementary ultrasound had dramatically decreased the mortality rates from this emerging disease.
Objective: To assess the dense breast detected by mammography for the presence of any hidden
suspicious lesion by using ultrasound.
 Patients and methods:  this is a cross - sectional study on 53 female patients who came for breast cancer
screening or attended the Breast Clinic in the Oncology Teaching Hospital of the Medical City Complex in Baghdad –Iraq. The study was conducted from January to October 2018. Two -view mammography was done for each breast, and those with dense breasts underwent further ultrasound assessment done by a board-
certified radiologist.
Results: The mean age for the 53 patients included in the study was 48 years. Mammographic findings
showed that heterogeneous fibroglandular tissue density was present in (89%) of the study population.
Suspicious or clearly defined mass(es) by mammograph were seen in 16 (30%) of the patients, while no
mass was identified in (22%). Ultrasound findings we re as follows: Suspicious mass in (75%) of the cases
and benign lesions such as simple cysts or fibroadenoma in (9%). The results showed that ultrasound has
upgraded 12 cases that were diagnosed as BI -RADS I/II to BI-RADS IV/V and this represented (23%) of
the cases. On the other hand, the mammogram and the ultrasound were in concordance for BI  RADS
IV/V in 28 cases (54%). The positive predictive value of the ultrasound and the mammogram for BI -
RADS IV and V breast lesions is 72% for BI - RADS IV and 95% for BI - RADS V for ultrasound and that  of mammograph is 83% for BI - RADS IV 80% for BI- RADS V, while the negative predictive value of  mammograph is 55% for BI - RADS I/II 25% for BI - RADS III.
Conclusion: Dense breast is still an important problematic issue in mammographic screening as it may
obscure small lesions, for which, ultrasound is proved to be a complementary and essential targeting tool
in the assessment process.

Evaluation of Copper , Zinc , Manganese , and Magnesium Levels in Newborn Jaundice in Baghdad
...Show More Authors

         Trace elements concentrations are frequently reported to be a good indicator for diagnosis and prognosis of some disease. The levels of copper, zinc, manganese, and magnesium were measured in serum of two group. Group one contains (52) newborn jaundice patients while the second group contains (20) healthy newborn used as controls.

          In this study the concentration of Cu, Zn, Mg, and Mn were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). It has been found that zinc level is significantly lower in newborn jaundice patients compared with normal subjects at (p<0.05) , also the level of Cu, Mg, and Mn were significantly

Detection of human cytomegalovirus genome in malignant gliomas by in situ hybridization technique
...Show More Authors

Background: Human Cytomegalovirus ( HCMV ), lies dormant in the glial cells , and can be reactivated under conditions of inflammation and immunosuppression. In vitro, the virus can
transform cells and dysregulate many cellular pathways involved in oncogenesis. This study was conducted to detect HCMV matrix-protein mRNA using In Situ Hybridization technique in glial brain tumor tissues compared to normal brain tissues and the presence of cytomegalic inclusion bodies in brain tumor tissues.
Patients and Method: Thirty eight of glial tumor specimens were obtained in paraffin blocks compared to eight normal brain autopsy specimens which were age and sex matched with the
study group as a control group. ISH wa

Corrosion Study of the Injection Equipments in Water in Al-Ahdeb Wells ‐Iraq
...Show More Authors

Water injection equipments such as pipelines, which are used in the second recovery of oil in the Al-Ahdeb wells, suffer from the corrosion in water during maintaining vacuum deoxygenated tower that used to decrease concentration of the dissolved oxygen gas in the water from 6.2-9.1 ppm to o.5 ppm. This study involved calculation the corrosion rates of the internal surfaces of the
pipelines either during operation of the vacuum unit or when the tower out of operation. Finally, find the solution by one of the following suggestions. In the first suggestion removal of the dissolved O2 from water is achieved by increasing the dosage of the oxygen scavenger (sodium sulphite). The second suggestion involves removing the dissolved O2 from w

Serodiffusion of Helicobacter Pylori and HAV in Patients Attending Two Centers in Baghdad
...Show More Authors

Background: Helicobacters are motile curved, oxidase and catalase positive,
gram negative rods similar in morphology to vibrios. The cells have polar flagella
and are often attached at their ends given pairs "S" shapes or seagull
appearance.
Object i ves: The present study was undertaken to estimate the serodiffusion of
H. pylori and hepatitis A virus (HAV) in 300 patients attending two centers in
Baghdad.
Metthods:: HAV was determined by the detection of HAV-IgM in the serum samples. Detection of H. pylori was by ELISA and endoscopic examination.
Resul t s: The serodiffusion of H. pylori was 40% (n=120). Out of the 120
patients infected with H. pylori, 50(41 .6%) patients were diagnosed clinically to
have g
