Developmental Changes of Axonal Excitability: Refractory Period Measurement in Normal Children.
...Show More Authors

Background: “The absolute refractory” period is the time interval during which the nerve fiber is in capable of conducting another impulse after a conditioning stimulus and the determination of the refractory period distribution in a nerve can give a good idea about the characteristics of the conducting fibers constituting that nerve as it reflects their excitability and could be used as a sensitive  indicator for the ability of the nerve fiber to conduct pairs of closely spaced impulses.
Methods: The new collision test was used to measure precisely the absolute motor refractory period and the paired shock technique to measure the absolute sensory refractory period in the ulnar nerves of 167 normal infants and children to identify age related changes in the excitability of the nerve fiber membrane.
Results: These tests showed that changes in the membrane properties of the fastest and the slowest motor and sensory fibers differ with age. Fastest fibers have more prominent and rapid reduction in their absolute refractory periods (increased excitability) at the successive age groups during the period between 6 months to 6years of life, while the slowest ones have more gradual and prolonged membrane changes (as assessed by the dispersion of the refractory periods)
Conclusion: These electrophysological findings point to a period of rapid increment in the nerve fiber diameter, myelin thickness and the possibility of addition of new functioning nerve fibers during the process of growth and development, since each fiber has its characteristic absolute refractory period from birth.

Psychological effects of electronic games In children and adolescents
...Show More Authors

The proliferation of electronic games, video games and computers has caused children and teenagers to become attracted to these games and become their favorite entertainment. The widespread of these games has generated widespread debate about positive aspects and negative aspects. It is evident that there are two main trends in the impact of electronic games on the behavior of children and adolescents. The first trend is that e-games have positive effects on children and adolescents, especially in cognitive abilities and skills in learning. While the second view sees that electronic games have negative effects that appear in social isolation and lack of movement and aggression. Through the review of previous literature, the current resea

Growth of diabetic children in post conflict Baghdad, Iraq
...Show More Authors

Background: previously type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was listed among the causes of severing growth retardation. Iraq was exposed to wars and conflicts that affect health services which in turn affect the glycemic state of diabetic patients.
Objective: To report on the growth of diabetic children in post-conflict Iraq.
Methods: A total of 100 children with T1DM were included in the study. They were attending the consultancy clinic in Children Welfare Teaching Hospital for the period from 1st of Feb to 30th of May 2017. Weight and height were measured. The growth indices at diagnosis were taken from a case file.
Results: A total of 100 children with T1DM included in this study. Their age was 9.3 ± 3.2 years with a male to fema

Relieving Symptoms of Chronic Sinusitis in Children By Adenoidectomy
...Show More Authors

Background: To determine the efficacy of adenoidectomy in relieving symptoms of chronic sinusitis in children.
Patients and methods :A prospective study carried out on 35 patients who underwent adenoidectomy or Adeno-tonsillectomy between May 2004 and October 2005.The patient ages ranged from 3 to 12 years. Five patients were unavailable for follow-up and did not complete the study so they are excluded from. The pre-operative symptoms were Rhinorrohea, Nasal congestion, Headache, Postnasal drainage, Cough, Halitosis and Irritability.
Also recorded was Mouth breathing, Fever and Frequent antibiotic use. Telephone interviews with the patient's caregivers were conducted to collect information followi

The clinical utility of serum uric acid measurement in pre-eclampsia
...Show More Authors

Background:To evaluate the accuracy of serum uric acid to predict maternal and fetal complications in women with pre- eclampsia.
Design: Prospective study. Setting: Tikrit Teaching Hospital.
Subject and Methods: Fifty normotensive and forty-three pre-eclamptic pregnant women at (20-24) weeks of gestation were the study subject, serum concentrations of uric acid
were measured and examine the correlations between serum uric acid level with fetal and maternal complications.
Result: Serum concentration of uric acid in pre-eclamptic women were significantly higher than in gestational age match normotensive pregnant women, and women with pre-eclampsia
and elevated uric acid concentration at increased risk of

The role of serum IL-6 changes in evaluation of endometriosis
...Show More Authors

Background:- Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence and proliferation of functional endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. Il-6 level increased in the patient with endometriosis.
Objective:- Evaluate the correlation of IL-6 levels with the degree of severity of endometriosis
Patients and methods:- In this study, 84 samples 51women with endometriosis (20 newly diagnosed and 31 treated cases) and 33 of healthy control group, were collected starting from November 2011 to end of January 2012, to investigate the IL-6 serum level by using ELISA kit.
Results :- Endometriosis patients mainly presented at the age betwe

Measurement of self control among university Students
...Show More Authors

Self control is the perception of the individual of his duty at, the capacity of self testing in systematic durations and the ability of individuate to control his behavior, The control will be spontaneous when the individual will have a special ideas about the correct or incorrect behavior and choosing his way according it.
The present study airs at:
1- building and measuring self control and balancing among means among university students according to gender and specialization.

FLUORESCENCE LIFETIME MEASUREMENT OF C5H6 AND C6D6
...Show More Authors

Absorption and lifetime measurements were made for C6H6. and C6D6 molecules in pure solid phase and in solid matrices of Ar, N2, CO, and CO2. All measurement are made at low temperatures ranging between 12-50 K. A modified least square fitting deconvolution was utilized to measure the fluorescence lifetime with an error less than 1%. The results show that the use of matrix isolation technique offer a unique environment that minimize the perturbation of the molecular or atomic system and hence facilitate spectral analysis.
