Overexpression of HER-2\neu receptor protein in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma, An Immunohistochemical Study.
...Show More Authors

Background: Bladder carcinoma is one of the most common cancer worldwide, it accounts for 6.5% of all cancers, with highest incidence in industrialized countries .It represents the fourth most common cancer in men and the eighth in women. Bladder carcinoma depends in its pathogenesis on a combination of genetic and environmental factors, these factors produce phenotypic changes that allow normal transitional cells to become cancerous and finally acquire the “malignant phenotype".  Many attempts had been tried to explore the role of some genetic abnormalities encountered in bladder carcinoma. It has indicated that many genetic abnormalities may underline the pathogenesis of cancer evolution of urinary bladder like VEGF , P53, Bcl2 and RB, but nowadays a scientific efforts have raised the possible role of Her-2/neu in bladder carcinoma, and the rate of its overexpression in bladder carcinoma is ranging from 2% - 74%. 
Objective: To estimate immunohistochemical expression of HER-2\neu receptor protein in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma in relation to other parameters; sex grade, pattern of tumor and stage of tumor .
Methods: The present work is performed in the Department of Pathology and Forensic medicine, College of Medicine, Kufa University. Formalin fixed, Paraffin-embedded blocks from 60 (43 males and 17 females) patients with urinary bladder carcinoma were included in this study. A group of 12 patients with chronic cystitis were included as a control group. Avidin-Biotin Complex method was employed for immunohistochemical detection of HER-2\neu.
Results: HER-2\neu overexpression was positive in 41.6% of urinary bladder carcinoma, while there was no expression in benign bladder tissue (P<0.05). HER-2\neu immunohistochemical staining was positively correlated with, grade and stage of urinary bladder carcinoma (P<0.05).
Conclusion: These findings support the role of HER-2\neu in the carcinogenesis of urinary bladder carcinoma regarding behavior, and aggressiveness, and thus HER-2\neu could be considered as a poor prognostic parameter in urinary bladder carcinoma.

Identification of Bacterial Strains Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection and the Role of Plasmids in their Antibiotic Resistance
...Show More Authors

  One hundred fifty bacterial strains were isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs). They were belong to ten different species of gram-negative bacteria and to two genera of gram–positive bacteria. E. coli was the major causative agent and comprise 40% of all cases. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were second and third with 18.67% & 18.0% respectively. Other gram-negative bacteria were belong to the genera Enterobacter, Acinitobacter, Pseudomonas, Citrobacter and Serratia. Ten cases (6.67%) were caused by genus Staphylococcus and seven (4.66%) were caused by Streptococcus. Out of the 150 positive cases, 96(64%) were from female patients, while 54(36%) were from males. High percentage of all

A study to compare the efficiency of different instrumentation systems for cleaning oval-shaped root canals (An in vitro study)
...Show More Authors

Background: Proper cleaning and shaping of the whole root canal space have been recognized as a real challenge, particularly in oval-shaped canals.This in vitro study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficiency of different instrumentation systems in removing of dentin debris at three thirds of oval-shaped root canals and to compare the percentage of remaining dentin debris among the three thirds for each instrumentation system. Materials and methods: Fifty freshly extracted human mandibular molars with single straight oval-shaped distal root canals were randomly divided into five groups of ten teeth each. Group One: instrumentation with ProTaper Universal hand instruments, Group Two: instrumentation with ProTaper Universal rotary

Thermal analysis of horizontal earth-air heat exchangers in a subtropical climate: An experimental study
...Show More Authors

The earth-air heat exchanger (EHX) has a promising potential to passively save the energy consumption of traditional air conditioning systems while maintaining a high degree of indoor comfort. The use of EHX systems for air conditioning in commercial and industrial settings offers several environmental benefits and is capable of operating in both standalone and hybrid modes. This study tests the performance and effectiveness of an EHX design in a sandy soil area in Baghdad, Iraq. The area has a climate of the subtropical semi-humid type. Ambient air temperatures and soil temperatures were recorded throughout the months of 2021. During the months of January and June, the temperatures of the inlet and outflow air at varying air veloci

EMPLOYING HOFSTEDE'S CULTURAL DIMENSIONS IN TELEVISION ADVERTISING: (An Analytical Study of Zain’s “Ya Baghdad” Advertisement)
...Show More Authors

The research aims to analyze the television advertisement to monitor the indirect and underlying meanings behind the apparent significance in Zain’s “Ya Baghdad” Advertisement through sociological analysis, in accordance with the cultural analysis of Hofstede’s ‘Model of Cultural Dimensions’. Our choice of such a model in practical application over other models that may have provided more dimensions is due to its ability and verification in explaining cultural diversity and additionally the size of data and studies on the cultural dimension. This study’s aim is to verify the validity, stability and significance of this model before being adopted by Hofstede as a measurement tool. This model was used in order to analyze the rel

Variations in the Origin and Contributions of Arteries supplying the Human Hippocampus: An Anatomical Study
...Show More Authors

Background:
Variations in the arterial supply in the human brain are not uncommon. Of particular interest is that of the hippocampus. Knowledge of the vascular anatomy is a key to the
surgical treatment of pathologies in this region.
Objectives:
The aim of the work is a detailed description of the variations and contribution of the anterior choroidal artery and the branches of the posterior cerebral artery to the supply of
the hippocampus and comparing the results with previous studies.
Materials and Methods:
Formalin-fixed brains from 15 adult cadavers (30 hemispheres) were examined using a magnifying lens. The hippocampus is identified, and the arteries that are in the vicinity to
hippocampus were
