Multiple choice questions and essay questions in assessment of success rate in medical physiology
...Show More Authors

Background: Assessment is an important part of the learning cascade in education. Students realize it as an influential motivator to direct and guide their learning. The method of assessment determines the way the students reach high levels of learning. It has been documented that one of factor affecting students’ choice of learning approach is the way how assessment is being performed. Many methods of assessment namely multiple choice questions, essay questions and others are mainly used to assess basic science knowledge in undergraduate education. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare multiple choice questions (MCQ) and essay questions (EQ) (record the success and failure rate of multiple choice questions (MCQ) and essay questions (EQ)) in regards to the Physiology questions.
Methods: A retrospective study was done in which the results of the physiology exams -held in the medical college in Baghdad University -in 2010 are recorded. The number of students underwent the exam was 255. A total of 100 essay questions (EQs) and 100 multiple choice questions (MCQs) were evaluated from the written examinations delivered to second year medical students questions belonged to final examination.
Results: Regarding essay questions that have been answered, 33.5% of the questions were not answered as a total. 188 students out of 255 had succeeded which represent 73.7% of the students. Out of 78 marks for MCQ, 46.33 had been achieved, and out of 22 marks for essay 12.9 have been achieved. the success in MCQ questions was 82.9% while in the Essay questions was 67.7% and the failure in both types was 12.5%. Out of 100 questions for both MCQ and Essay questions 55.1±7.9 questions were answered for the MCQ and 51.1±15.3 Essay questions were answered. In general the percentage of the succeeded students was 73. 7% and that of failed students was 26.3%.
Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the success rate between MCQs and EQs.

الخلفية: يعد التقييم عنصرا هاما في سلسلة التعلم في التعليم. يدرك الطلاب أنها حافز مؤثر لتوجيه تعلمهم. ويحدد أسلوب التقييم طريقة وصول الطلبة إلى مستويات عالية من التعلم. وقد تم توثيق أن أحد العوامل التي تؤثر على اختيار الطلاب لموقف التعلم هو طريقة تقييمهم. يتم تطبيق العديد من أساليب التقييم وهي أسئلة الاختيار من متعدد، أسئلة مقالة وغيرها أساسا لفحص العلوم الأساسية الفهم في التعليم الجامعي.

الهدف: الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو مقارنة أسئلة الاختيار من متعدد وأسئلة مقال (تقييم نجاح وفشل معدل أسئلة الاختيار من متعدد وأسئلة مقال) فيما يتعلق باسئلة علم وظائف الأعضاء.

الطريقة: أجريت دراسة بأثر رجعي تم فيها تسجيل نتائج امتحانات علم وظائف الأعضاء - التي تم تسجيلها في الكلية الطبية لجامعة بغداد - في عام 2010. وبلغ عدد الطلاب الذين خضعوا للامتحان 255.

تم تقييم مجموعه 100 أسئلة مقالة و 100 أسئلة الاختيار من متعدد من الامتحانات المكتوبة التي تدار لطلاب الطب السنة الثانية (الأسئلة تنتمي إلى الامتحان النهائي)

النتائج: فيما يتعلق بأسئلة المقالات التي تم الرد عليها، لم يتم الإجابة على 33.5٪ من الأسئلة في المجموع. وقد نجح 188 طالبا من أصل 255 طالبا يمثلون 73.7 في المائة من الطلاب. ومن أصل 78 علامة ل سؤال متعدد الاختيارات، تم تحقيق 46.33، ومن أصل 22 علامة للمقالة 12.9 قد تحققت. وكان النجاح في الأسئلة متعدد الاختيارات، 82.9٪ في حين كان في أسئلة المقال 67.7٪ والفشل في كلا النوعين كان 12.5٪. من أصل 100 سؤال لكل من الأسئلة متعدد الاختيارات و اسئلة المقال، تم الرد على 55.07 ± 7.99 من الأسئلة متعدد الاختيارات و 51.13 ± 15.28 للمقالة. وبشكل عام بلغت نسبة الطلبة الناجحين 73.7٪، وبلغت نسبة الطلبة الفاشلين 26.3٪

الخلاصة: كان معدل النجاح لكل من الأسئلة متعدد الاختيارات وأسئلة المقال نفسه تقريبا مما أدى إلى معدل نجاح إجمالي 73.7٪ الذي يلبي نتائج الدراسات الأخرى التي أجريت مقارنة نوعي الأسئلة.

Echocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Function in Overweight and Obese Subjects
...Show More Authors

Background: Obesity is a public health concern worldwide associated with significant health risks and comorbid conditions. Obesity might be a strong factor that can induce left ventricular systolic dysfunction and eventually cause heart failure independent to coronary artery disease or other morbidities. In uncomplicated obese subjects, diastolic dysfunction is caused by hemodynamic and metabolic factors.
Objectives: To assess the left ventricular (systolic and diastolic) function in a sample of overweight and obese subjects using different Echocardiographic tools and exploring the percentage and type of diastolic dysfunction in those people.
Subjects and methods: one hundred seven (107) normal adult males subjects with a mean age

Assessment of Salivary α-amylase and Flow Rate Levels and Their Correlation with Gingivitis and Severity of Chronic Periodontitis (Part: 1)
...Show More Authors

Background: Periodontal diseases are bacterial infections of the gingiva, bone and attachment fibers that support the teeth and hold them in the jaw. α-amylase is an enzyme, produced mainly by parotid gland and it seems to play a role in maintaining mucosal immunity. Aims of the study: Determine the salivary levels of α-Amylase and flow rate and their correlations with clinical periodontal parameters(Plaque Index , Gingival Index , Bleeding on Probing , Probing Pocket Depth , and Clinical Attachment Level ) and the correlation between α-Amylase with flow rate of study groups that consist of ( patients had gingivitis and patients had chronic periodontitis with different severities(mild ,moderate ,severe) and control group .

Assessment of Serum Levels of Advanced Oxidation Protein Products in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with and without Retinopathy Taking Different Antidiabetic Treatments
...Show More Authors

The goal of this study was to investigate the protein peroxidation role by measuring serum levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in type 2 diabetic patients with or without retinopathy and comparing them to controls to see if circulating AOPP levels can be used as a detection biomarker for DR. And see which of the two widely used antidiabetic treatment groups had the most impact on this oxidative stress marker. The groups were divided into two subgroups: 1) 70 type 2 diabetic patients (36 male, 34 female), 35 with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and 35 with no evidence of DR, and 2) non-diabetic controls (11 male, 9 female) were chosen from Ibn AL-Haitham Hospital for Ophthalmology and a Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Dia

Language Ecology or Ecolinguistics: Conceptual and Theoretical Discussions
...Show More Authors

Language ecology is the interactions between the environment and language. Such a discipline, ‘language ecology’ or ‘ecolinguistics has been founded by Einar Haugen’. Accordingly,  the study aims at qualitatively reviewing the theoretical and conceptual issues surrounding the subject of language ecology  by tracing the roots of language ecology. It further highlights the fundamental inconsistencies between how the concept of ecology is perceived in sociology and biology, and is applied to language, particularly, transposing the main central concepts of bio-ecology, such as relationship/interaction, environment, and organism to human language and theory of ecological-linguistic. The theory wavers among placing the focus

The population studies are one of the difficult tasks facing the world in all periods. most of the researchers and who have relationship to population policies and development plans, may have succumbed to the idea that the population problem is based and confined mainly in the rate of increase in population, or the so – called population explosion, and not the content because of its pressure on resources and there is no problem of population if the resources are available and therefore no need for the development and implementation of population policies in any way . While the population policies here should take a range of general and comprehensive in every respect to population and demographic phenomena distribution, not only

Evaluation of angiopoietin-2 level in patients with multiple myeloma at presentation and in remission state
...Show More Authors

The study aimed to assess the level of ANG‑2 in MM patients at diagnosis and in remission state and elaborate on its correlation with interleukin‑6 (IL‑6) and beta‑2 microglobulin (B2M) levels. Sixty MM patients; 20 newly diagnosed (ND), and 40 patients in remission were included. Twenty healthy individuals were included as a control group. Plasma levels of ANG‑2, B2M, and IL‑6 were tested by enzyme‑lin ked immunosorbent assay. There are significant statistical differences between ND patients and those in remission in hemoglobin, neutrophil count, blood urea, serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, B2M, IL6, and ANG‑2 (P = 0.001, 0.033, 0.005, 0.001, 0.001, 0.001, 0.004, and 0.001, respectively). ANG‑2 showed signifi
