A Comparative Study of Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery : An Iraqi Experience

Summary: Background: The World Health Organization has declared that obesity is a disease of pandemic significance. The number of performed bariatric procedures has rapidly and considerably increased over the past decade. The most frequently performed and best studied procedures are laparoscopic gastric banding (LAGB), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Objectve: To provide a critical appraisal of the most important scientific evidence comparing the short term outcomes of these three weight-reduction procedures (laparoscopic gastric banding (LAGB), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y bypass (LRYGB)) using retrospectively collected data for patients with morbid obesity in Iraq. Patients and Methods: Between August 2010 and November 2012, three types of bariatric operations (LAGB, LSG, LRYGB) were performed in a hospital in Baghdad for patients with morbid obesity by the same team. A total of 32 patients underwent LAGB operation (21 women and 11 men) with a mean age of years = 33.77 (range 16 to 52 years), and of the 29 patients underwent LSG operation (22 women and 7 men) with a mean age of years = 33.86 (range 20 to 52 years) and of the 9 patients underwent LRYGB (7 women and 2 men) with a mean age of years= 35.11 (range 25 to 45 years). Thereafter patients were followed up monthly for the first 3 months postoperatively. Results: Using statistical Package for the Social Sciences Software (SPSS) version 15,we found the mean weight loss 1 month after surgery was 10.97kg (range 5-25 kg) for LAGB, 12.34 kg (range 6-21 kg) for LSG and 12.33 kg (range 10-20kg) for LRYGB. Mean weight loss 3 months after surgery was 18.81kg (range 7-38 kg) for LAGB, 22.48kg (range 10-59 kg) for LSG and 24.33kg (range 16-40kg) for LRYGB. Conclusion: The results from our study showed that all the studied procedures had a significant weight reduction rate in the first three months post operatively and that LRYGB is superior to the LAGB and LSG in weight reduction, although, all procedures are associated with marked weight loss. The age of the patients did not influence the decrease in BMI or affect the type of the procedure in weight reduction for the studied group. The results of this study do not diverge from those previously reported in the literature regarding the complications and the resolution or at least improvement of medical co-morbidities after these three procedures had been proved in this study.

Dyslipidemia and CA15-3 serum level in Iraqi Women with Breast Tumor: A Comparative Study

Background: Lipids seem to have a direct influence in women breast cancer (BC) or dyslipidemia may be a consequence of this cancer.

Objective: the aim of this study is to define serum levels of lipid profile in women with breast cancer (BC) and to compare that with fibroadenoma benign breast tumor. Also, to assess the role of serum CA 15-3 in early diagnosis of breast cancer (BC).   
Patients and Methods:
This case study was carried out at Biochemistry Department, College of Medicine, University of Baghdad, during the period from February 2017 to November 2017. It included 38 Iraqi women diagnosed with primary breast cancer (BC, Group-I) and 25 women with Fibroadenom

Legal regulation for a labor inspector: A comparative study between Iraqi legislation and the Algerian and Bahraini legislation

The labor inspector may be exposed - while performing his duties that are legally assigned to him - to threats or attacks on him by employers, which makes it impossible for the inspector to perform these jobs.

This has prompted international and Arab labor inspection standards, as well as national labor laws, to emphasize the need to provide security support and legal protection for the labor inspector, and to punish employers' violators, with the aim of extending the authority and prestige of the state and ensuring the enforcement of laws and thus achieving the goals for which it was legislated.

Shared Congestion Detection: A Comparative Study

Most Internet-tomography problems such as shared congestion detection depend on network measurements. Usually, such measurements are carried out in multiple locations inside the network and relied on local clocks. These clocks usually skewed with time making these measurements unsynchronized and thereby degrading the performance of most techniques. Recently, shared congestion detection has become an important issue in many computer networked applications such as multimedia streaming and
peer-to-peer file sharing. One of the most powerful techniques that employed in literature is based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with cross-correlation operation to determine the state of the congestion. Wavelet transform is used as a de-noisin

The aim of this study is to find a relationship between oxidative stress and adiponectin in Iraqi patients with acromegaly. The present study included 30 patients with acromegaly disease attending at Al-Yarmuk teaching hospital , and 30 healthy individuals as a control group.The two groups with ages ranging (30-55) years. The results revealed a highly significant elevation in all parameters (GH,IGF-1 , adiponectin , malondialdehyde , and peroxynitrite ) levels in sera of patients when compared with healthy control .It can be concluded that oxidative stress (malondialdehyde and peroxynitrite ) may be valuable in detecting of endocrine diseases like acromegaly .

A comparative study to determine the native eye lens protein in the some types of Iraqi vertebrates

This study showed that the lens in baloot muluki fish Chondrostoma regium is transparent, spherical shape, and solid in textures, while in the tree frog Hyla arborea savignyi, freshwater turtles Clemmys caspia caspia, white–eared bulbul Pycnonotus leucotis and brown rat Rattus norvegicus are transparent, soft and biconvex, it is very soft in white–eared bulbul. There are many significant differences have been recorded between the average weight lens and the total concentration of the protein in the lens all studied animals. Electrical migration process for lens proteins showed that there is one bundle of crystalline –? and one bundle also crystalline–? in all studied species, either crystalline–? may represent one bundle character
