Comparison between Mammography and Breast Ultrasound in the Detection of Breast Cancer in Dense Breast Tissue among a Sample of Iraqi Women
...Show More Authors
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer reported in women worldwide . In Iraq, it is the  most common registered malignancy. Mammography plays a major role in  the early detection of breast cancers. Dense breast parenchyma has been reported to be the most important inherent factor that limits  depiction of breast cancer on mammogram, and often needs supplementary breast ultrasound for complete assessment. 
Objectives: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of mammography and ultrasound in the
detection of breast cancer in dense breast tissue.
Patients and methods: A record review study was performed in the Oncology Teaching Hospital/ Medical
City from April 2018 to December 2018. The study included forty five females, who attended the Main
Referral Center for Early Detection of Breast Tumors during 2017 and 2018 were diagnosed with breast  cancer histopathologically . They had dense breast tissues on mammography (either heterogeneously dense
breast tissue i.e . category C or extremely dense breast tissue i.e. category D). All patients underwent  subsequent breast ultrasound . Their information including the mammogram findings, breast ultrasound,
fine needle aspiration (FNA) and biopsy results were reviewed analyzed and compared.
Results:Twenty four patients (53.3%) had heterogeneously dense breast tissue (ACR category C) and 21
patients (46.6%) had extremely dense breast tissue (ACR category D). The mammogram detected 36 from 45
breast cancers (80%) while 9 (20%) were not detected by mammogram, so the mammogram had a detection
rate of breast cancer of 80% in mammographically dense breast, while breast ultrasound had higher  detection rate of about 97.7% .The sensitivity of mammography in extremely dense breast tissue was about 71% and in heterogeneously dense breast was about 87% while ultrasound had shown a higher sensitivity
with increasing tissue density (98% vs. 100%).
Conclusion: Breast cancer can be easily obscured and missed in mammographically dense breast tissue due
to overlapping surrounding fibroglandular tissue and additional complementary breast ultrasound is highly
recommended for a thorough evaluation and to depict mammographically occult breast carcinoma.

The possible role of EBV in carcinogenesis of colorectal carcinoma.
...Show More Authors

Background: Except for the tight correlation to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, accumulating evidences show that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is correlated to other carcinomas. This study was to investigate the association of EBV with colorectal tumors.
Materials & methods: Forty paraffin embedded blocks of colorectal tumors (thirty were adenocarcinoma and ten were benign tumors) were all examined for the presence of EBV DNA with
the application of In Situ hybridization.
Results: In Situ EBV DNA signals was detected in 6 out of 30 (20%) of colorectal carcinoma with no observed signals in the sections from benign group.
Conclusion: Our results showed that infection of EBV exists in human colorectal adenocarcinoma

Importance of S-point in the Management of Severe Epistaxis
...Show More Authors

Although severe epistaxis is uncommon, it is serious. The systematic endoscopic nasal examination is an essential step in identifying the bleeding point and aiding electrocauterization. Currently, the S-point, which is located in the superior part of the nasal septum behind the septal body and corresponding to the axilla of the middle concha, is identified in about 30% of cases with severe epistaxis. Cauterization of this point has an excellent rate of controlling the bleeding and preventing its recurrence. We aimed to highlight the significance of the S-point in the management of severe cases of epistaxis.

...Show More Authors

Abstract

The goal of this research is to know the quality of working life and its impact on the level of the organizational sense of alienation among a sample of teaching Anbar University in the center of Baghdad. Find and seek to achieve a number of cognitive and practical goals.

Where the quality of work life constitutes one of the main sources to enable organizations of excellence in light of the volatile environment, as is one of alienation regulatory organizations avoid the phenomena that occur because of their negative effects on performance and thus achieve their goals. The most research problem in question the existence of the main deficiencies in the application of the concepts of organiz

Role of ERP In Enhancing the Accuracy of Financial Reporting
...Show More Authors

Abstract

Nowadays, the adoption of economic unity on the accuracy of financial reporting is very important. Economic units need accurate financial reporting to be more competitive and to improve the performance. Management can also achieve financial information in real time through the application of ERP systems. This system will facilitate management to access the most up-to-date information such as planning, monitoring and evaluating the business processes of the organization to be more effective.

On the practical side, the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system was applied to the General Company for Vegetable Oils to demonstrate a course in enhancing the accuracy of financial reporting.

Odontogenic Cysts and Tumors of Maxilla and Maxillary Sinus (A Clinicopathological Analysis)
...Show More Authors

Background: Knowledge about the prevalence and distribution of pathologies in a particular location is important when a differential diagnosis is being formulated. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and the clinicopathological features of odontogenic cysts and tumors affecting the maxilla and to discuss the unusual presentation of those lesions within maxillary sinus.

Materials and Methods: A multicenter retrospective analysis was performed on pathology archives of patients who were diagnosed with maxillary odontogenic cysts and tumors from 2010 to 2020. Data were collected with respect to age, gender and location.

Result: A total of 384 cases was identified, 320 (83.3%) cases were diagnosed as odontogenic

Synthesis and antioxidant activities of Schiff bases and their complexes: a review
...Show More Authors

Schiff bases, named after Hugo Schiff, are aldehyde- or ketone-like compounds in which the carbonyl group is replaced by imine or azomethine group. They are widely used for industrial purposes and also have a broad range of applications as antioxidants. An overview of antioxidant applications of Schiff bases and their complexes is discussed in this review. A brief history of the synthesis and reactivity of Schiff bases and their complexes is presented. Factors of antioxidants are illustrated and discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stability and bifurcation of a prey-predator system incorporating fear and refuge
...Show More Authors

It is proposed and studied a prey-predator system with a Holling type II functional response that merges predation fear with a predator-dependent prey's refuge. Understanding the impact of fear and refuge on the system's dynamic behavior is one of the objectives. All conceivable steady-states are investigated for their stability. The persistence condition of the system has been established. Local bifurcation analysis is performed in the Sotomayor sense. Extensive numerical simulation with varied parameters was used to explore the system's global dynamics. A limit cycle and a point attractor are the two types of attractors in the system. It's also interesting to note that the system exhibits bi-stability between these 2 types of attractors.
