Background: EEG recording showed a definite relationship between epileptiform EEG discharges and cognitive impairments (transient cognitive impairment “TCI”), since interictal spikes, which correspond to a large intracellular depolarization with evoked action potentials, in many ways mimic a “miniseizure.” Interictal spikes can result in transitory cognitive impairment with the type of deficit dependent on where in the cortex the spike arises. The interictal spikes, particularly if frequent and widespread, can impair cognitive abilities, through interference with waking learning and memory, and memory consolidation during sleep.
Objectives: the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of subclinical epileptic discharges on cognitive function in patients with epilepsy.
Patients & Methods: This is a prospective study conducted in Basra teaching hospital in the period from December 2009 to February 2011 in order to evaluate the effect of epileptic discharge on cognitive function. EEG exam and cognitive function test (P300) was done for each patient four times at three months interval period, and one time for control group. Two hundred twenty four (224) patients included in this study with age range from (12-40) years. the EEG obtained after 30 mints of recording was categorized in to three groups frequent, infrequent and normal EEG record.
Results: we found that patients with frequent IEDs have high mean P300 latency when compared to patients with infrequent and normal EEG exam, also the mean p300 latency significantly reduced (more improvement in cognitive function) after treatment with AEDs.
Conclusion: Treatment of patients with frequent epileptic discharge improve cognitive function in patients with epilepsy, and reduction of IEDs greatly improve cognitive abilities in epileptics.
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an adult leukemia characterized by rapid proliferation of undifferentiated myeloid precursors, leading to bone marrow (BM) failure and impaired erythropoiesis. The p53 tumor suppressor protein regulates cell division and inhibits tumor development by preventing cell proliferation of altered or damaged DNA. It orchestrates various cellular reactions, including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and antioxidant properties. Objectives: To investigate the relationship of P53 serum level with hematological findings, remission, and survival status in de novo AML patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that enrolled 63 newly diagnosed de novo AML patients, and 15 sex- and age-matched healt

The researcher adopted the null hypothesis: there is no statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average grades of the experimental group who study literature and texts following the discrepancies strategy, and those who follow the traditional method. A post-achievement test of (60) paragraphs was administered to (6) students as the study sample. The results showed that the experimental group who studied literature and texts with the strategy of cognitive achieved better than the control group who followed the traditional method in the post-achievement t

Show MoreIn this paper we introduce a lot of concepts in bitopological spaces which are ij-ω-converges to a subset, ij-ω-directed toward a set, ij-w-closed functions, ij-w-rigid set, ij-w-continuous functions and the main concept in this paper is ij-w-perfect functions between bitopological spaces. Several theorems and characterizations concerning these concepts are studied.
The inefficient use of spectrum is the key subject to overcome the upcoming spectrum crunch issue. This paper presents a study of performance of cooperative cognitive network via hard combining of decision fusion schemes. Simulation results presented different cooperative hard decision fusion schemes for cognitive network. The hard-decision fusion schemes provided different discriminations for detection levels. They also produced small values of Miss-Detection Probability at different values of Probability of False Alarm and adaptive threshold levels. The sensing performance was investigated under the influence of channel condition for proper operating conditions. An increase in the detection performance was achi

Background: Adolescent pregnancy is associated with major health consequences for adolescent pregnant women including medications and oral health problems such as dental caries and periodontal disease. Pregnancy is a unique state of physical, hormonal, and metabolic changes that can result in an oral cavity imbalance. Changes in salivary components and a decrease in salivary flow rate caused by an increase in progesterone may compromise saliva's protective effects, resulting in dental caries.
Objectives: To evaluate dental caries experience in adolescent pregnancy.
Method: A sample including 80 pregnant ladies were recruited in this study and categorized into a study grou

The research aims to build a training program to develop some executive functions for kindergarten children. To achieve this goal, the two researchers built the program according to the following steps:
1. Determining the general objective of the program.
2. Determining the behavioral objectives of the program.
3. Determining the included content in the program.
4. Implementing the content of the activities of the program.
5. Evaluating the Program.
The program included (12) training activities, the training activities included several items: the title of the activity, the time of implementation of the activity, the general objective of the activity, the procedural behavioral objective, the means and tools u
