Infants of diabetic mothers: an Iraqi Teaching Hospital experience
...Show More Authors

Background: Despite significantly increased input from multidisciplinary teams during antenatal period, pregnancy outcome from women with type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes mellitus (DM) remain substantially worse than that of general obstetric population. In Iraq, the true magnitude of infant of diabetic mother (IDM) is not well known as health system has been badly eroded over the period of gulf wars and sanctions.
Objectives: to through a light on IDM in the maternity ward and neonatal care unit (NCU) of Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Medical city complex, Baghdad.
Patients & Methods: A total of 120 IDM admitted to the maternity ward and (NCU) of Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Medical city complex, Baghdad, Iraq, were included in this descriptive study during the period 1st Jan. 2006 to 1st Jan. 2009. A questionnaire was filled for each neonate, which included maternal and neonatal information. Results were presented in frequencies. Multiple logistic regression was done to identify factors associated with death of IDM.
Results: Gestational diabetes was the common type (60.8%), cesarean section was a common mode of delivery (81.7%) and (84.2%) of mothers got antenatal care visits. Regarding the neonates, prematurity was observed in (26.7%), macrosomia in (26.7%), hypoglycemia in (56.8%), hyperbilirubinaemia in (26.1%),congenital anomalies in (12.5%) and Sepsis in (11.4%) of the neonates. Mode of delivery and prematurity significantly affect the death of neonates (p = 0.036 and 0.0008), while parity, type of DM, and birth weight were not significantly affecting the outcome of IDM.
Conclusions: High rates of hypoglycemia , Hyperbilirubinemia, prematurity, congenital anomalies and macrosomia were reported. The mode of delivery and prematurity significantly affect the death of IDM. Better perinatal care of mothers and their IDM with tighter preconceptual glycemic control is likely to reduce the prevalence of reported complications and death and improve the outcome for IDM.

Analysis of the harmonic structure in the musical compositions of the artist Khaleel Ismail
...Show More Authors

 The researcher was interested in studying a crucial aspect of the systematic world music culture. He highlights the analysis of the harmonic construction in the musical compositions of the artist Khalil Ismail, where harmony is a significant Western musical science, a pillar of the structure of instrumental and vocal music.
It depends on the compositions of vertical sounds performed simultaneously, as tones coincide and are sometimes dissonant to give sound resonance that enriches musical work and attracts recipients. Hence, the researcher has many questions, including: Can the composition of the writings of the artist Khalil Ismail determine in an objective research framework? Is there a study on this subject in some detail? whic

The role of Tru-cut needle biopsy in the diagnosis of palpable breast masses.
...Show More Authors

Background: Breast Lump Is The Second Most Common Presenting Symptom, After Breast Pain, To The Breast Clinic. Tru-Cut Needle Biopsy Provides Enough Tissue For Histopathological Diagnosis And Is Considered A Reliable Method For Establishing Preoperative Tissue Diagnosis.

Objectives: To Compare The Results Of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), Tru-Cut Needle Biopsy With Excisional Biopsy In Detecting Breast Cancer In Palpable Breast Masses.

Results: This Study Shows That Tru-Cut Needle Biopsy Is Superior To FNAC In Confirming Breast Cancer In Palpable Breast Masses With Suspicion Of Malignancy And It Can Give Definitive Histopathological Diagnosis Of The Lesion With L

Preparation and Evaluation of Liquid and Solid Self-Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System of Mebendazole
...Show More Authors

The aim of present study was to develop solid and liquid  self-microemulsifying drug  delivery system of poorly water soluble drug mebendazole using Aerosil 200 as solid carrier.  Microemulsions are clear, stable, isotropic liquid mixtures of oil, water and surfactant, frequently in combination with a co-surfactant having droplet size range usually in the range of 20-250 nm. Oleic acid, tween 80 and polypropylene glycol were selected as oil, surfactant and co-surfactant respectively and for preparation of stable SMEDDS, micro emulsion region was identified by constructing pseudo ternary phase diagram containing different proportion of surfactant: co-surfactant (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1), oil and water. In brief S/ CoS mix means su

Estimation of The Components of Phenotypic Variance and Heritability in Barley ( Hordeum Vulgar L. )
...Show More Authors

Four genetic populations ( P1 , P2 , F1 , F2) were used in this study .
The parental cross in barley ( P1 barakq and P2 Pakistan ) was done . Many quantitative
pheno types were estimated such as plants length , tillers number , grains yield , capsules
number , the number of grains per capsule and the weight of 1000 grains . The results showed
significant differences in genetic variance values in the seconed filial generation ( F2) for all
the studied phenotypes : High values for the heritability were observed for all the studied
phenotypes .
These results indicated the effect of additive and non-additive genes on the quantitative
phenotypes . Finally , the selection of first generation can utilized for impro

Assessment of Genotoxicity of Citrobacter freundii Bacteriocin on Bone Marrow Cells in Albino Mice
...Show More Authors

Genotoxic effects of crude bacteriocin extracted from Citrobacter freundii were detected on albino mice bone marrow cells in vivo, using micronucleus (MN) and comet assay. The mice were administered intraperitoneally with 37.5, 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg of the extract for 24 hours. C. freundii was isolated from patients suffering from urinary tract infections (UTI). The bacteriocin producing isolates were determined using cup assayand the most efficient bacteriocin producers were selected. Bacteriocin was extracted from the efficient isolates via the induction with Mitomycin-C (2 mg/ml). Bacteriocin activity (320 U/ml) was determined by well diffusion method, while the protein concentration (2900µg/ml) was estim

In Vitro Homeostasis of Rat Oral Epithelial Cell Cultures Following Withdrawal of Periodontal Pathogens
...Show More Authors

Abstract Inflammation of periodontal tissues is the consequence of interaction between periodontal pathogens and immune system. This is associated with increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, which may exert destructive effect to the periodontal tissues when released over long period. The aim of this study was to chronologically track the homeostasis of oral keratinocytes following removal of periodontal pathogens. This was done by investigating expression of selected inflammatory markers and integrity of epithelial monolayers in vitro. Rat oral keratinocytes were stimulated with heat-killed Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis over 7-days then bacteria were washed away and epithelial cells re-cultured for 3-
