Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of anovulation, and the number of antral follicles is of great importance in determining ovarian reserve, so identification of patients with diminished ovarian reserve help in choosing individualized and well managed ovulation induction protocol. The aim of the study is to find out if the number of ovarian antral follicles could affect the amount of gonadotropins used in ovarian stimulation in polycystic ovarian patients.
Patients and methods: Ninty four infertile polycystic ovaries women, attending the infertility clinic at Baghdad teaching hospital, during the period of November 2005 to October 2006, were compared to 62 control group women who have unexplained infertility. After exact history and examination, ultrasound was done to both groups at cycle day 3 for antral follicle counting. Then ovarian stimulation was started with gonadotropins, and another ultrasound was done on cycle day 13 for mature follicles confirmation.
Results: Antral follicle number was found to be significantly higher in patients than control groups (9.98 ± 2.09 vs 5.40±2.02). Age was found to be negatively correlated with antral follicle size and number in patient and control groups. After measuring the number of mature follicles at cycle day 13 it was observed that the antral follicle number was correlating positively and significantly with the number of follicles at cycle day 13, but negatively with the amount of gonadotropin used for ovarian stimulation in patients and control groups.
Conclusion: Antral follicles number is significantly higher in polycystic ovary patients and they correlate negatively with age. Antral follicle number is a good predictor of the number of gonadotropin ampouls used for ovarian stimulation.

The researchers used a qualitative approach in order to understand the teachers' perceptions about these problems in a more in-depth way. The interview tools (in-depth and semi-structured interviews) were used to collect data from (3) female teachers from special education programs in the Asir region. The results revealed a number of themes including problems related to students, teachers and the teaching methods they use, curricula, school environment, and school administration. Moreover, the results indicated that famil

It aims to investigate descriptively, analytically, and comparatively the modern AK model represented by the Sudan Open University Series, and the European framework, the common reference for Teaching Foreign Languages, to uncover what was achieved in them in terms of communication and language use. Accordingly, an integrated, multi-media approach has been adopted to enable the production and reception activities, and the spread of Arabic in vast areas of the world. Such a spread helps Arabic language to be in a hegemonic position with the other living languages. The study is based on getting benefit from human experiences and joint work in the field of teaching Arabic to non-Arabic speakers to mee

PsyCap emerged as extending for recent another types of capital, such as human capital and social capital. It has been defined as “an individual’s positive psychological state of development". The PsyCap consist of four core constructs (self- efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience). Each of the four components has considerable theorizing and researching that can contribute to developing an integrative theoretical foundation for PsyCap. But their combined motivational effects will be broader and more impactful than any one of t

Objective: The aim of this study was to find out the significance of serum OC and serum OPN levels with the incidence of osteoporosis and its major complication (fractures).
Patients and Methods: Eighty-five postmenopausal women (PMW) whose ages were fifty years and over categorized into three groups: osteoporosis PMW without VFs (n=30), osteoporosis PMW with VFs (n=28), and healthy PMW (n=27). Sera samples were analyzed for alkaline phosphatase, calcium and phosphorous by using spectrophotometric kit. Serum OC

In this study the radon gas concentration in air in Al - Haswaa city in province of Baghdad in Iraq have been calculated using CR-39 solid–state nuclear track detector technique. A total of 8 samples selected from 8 region in Al – Haswaa city in province of Baghdad have been placed in the dosimeters for 30 day. The average radon gas concentration was found to be 486.26 Bq/m3 which is lower than the standard international limit (1100 Bq/m3). The potential alpha energy concentration and annual effective dose have been calculated. A proportional relationship between the annual effective dose and radon gas concentration within the studied region has been certified.
