Short Term Outcome Of Macrosomic Neonates Of Diabetic & Non-Diabetic Mothers
...Show More Authors

Background: Big birth weight is one of the important factors affecting the perinatal morbidity & mortality. It may result in an irreversible squeal because of birth trauma & fetal asphyxia.
Patients & Methods:
This is a prospective study of 50 singleton macrosomic newborns weighting 4000 g & more aged 1-3 days admitted in the neonatal care unit of Children Welfare Teaching Hospital & Baghdad Teaching Hospital during a 6 months period from 1st of March to 1st of September 2010. The maternal & neonatal records were reviewed & infant morbidities including hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, feeding intolerance, birth injury & associated anomalies were discussed. All the infants were followed until they were discharged from the hospital.Objectives: to compare the short term outcomes of macrosomic infants born to diabetic and non-diabetic mothers.

Results: Infants of diabetic mothers (52%) were more likely to develop neonatal morbidity compared to infants of non diabetic mothers (48%), these include hypoglycemia (76.9% vs. 8.3%), Respiratory distress (61.5% vs. 37.5%), and birth injury (7.7% vs. 4.2%) & nearly equal incidence of feeding intolerance (11.5% vs. 12.5%). Associated anomalies especially congenital heart disease (10%) found in infant of diabetic mothers only.

Conclusions: Most of birth weight variation remains unexplained & most non-IDM macrosomic infants do not have identifiable risk factors. Macrosomia is generally associated with neonatal morbidity & neonatal injury. The potential dangers of birth injury in vaginal delivery have increased the rates of cesarean section to (68%). Infants of diabetic mothers have a higher rate of neonatal morbidity overall including hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, birth injury & congenital heart disease.

Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) in early detection of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic Iraqi patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus type2. The neutrophil gelatinase Associated lippocallin (NGAL) is an ubiquitous protein consist of 178 amino acid. NGAL can be identified in plasma and urine starting 2- 4 hours after a kidney injury resulting changes in glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption and with increased secretion in tubular epithelial cells.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of serum Neutrophil Gelatinse Associated Lipocallin (NGAL) in early detection nephropathy.
Method : This study was conducted in Medical City, Baghdad Teaching Hospital during the period from December 2015to June 2016.The study included (90) subjects with age range between (30 – 56)yea

Evaluation of the Role of Serum Malondialdehyde in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Retinopathy
...Show More Authors

Background:  The most typical consequence of diabetes mellitus is diabetic retinopathy. An important part of the etiology of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy is played by oxidative stress. Malondialdehyde is a dialdehyde that is moderately toxic and is frequently used as a marker for oxidative stress as well as lipid peroxidation.                    

Objectives: To assess the serum malondialdehyde levels in diabetic patients with and those without retinopathy and to compare these levels to controls .In additions to, investigate the relationship between serum malondialdehyde level and long glycemic control, the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
