Background: Neonatal jaundice (NJ) is a common problem worldwide and frequent in Iraq . Several reports were published on prevalence, distribution, causes and treatment of NJ.This clinical trial was carried out to demonstrate the effect of combinations of Castrol oil, riboflavin and magnesium in mechanical elimination of bilirubin after enhancing hepatic excretion by phototherapy.
Patients & methods: This clinical trial included a total of 61 significantly jaundiced neonates who were admitted to the special care baby unit of Children Welfare Teaching Hospital, medical city complex, Baghdad, Iraq, during the period June 1st to Dec.31st 2007. Phototherapy was applied alone in 30 neonates (group 1) and phototherapy with Bilinorm in 31 neonates (group 2),(Bilinorm oral gel constituted of riboflavin sodium phosphate, magnesium oxide and castor oil). Student’s t test was used to examine the differences in variables between the two groups.
Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in body weight, age of onset of jaundice, age on admission, and TSB on admission (p =0.9,0.4, 0.4, 0.4, respectively). A significant difference in total decrease in TSB was noticed between group II (7.2 ± 2.4) and group I (5.9 ± 1.8)(p = 0.02). Days of hospitalization were significantly lower in group II (2.4 ± 0.8 days) than in group I (3.3 ± 1.5 days) (p = 0.009), and hours of phototherapy were significantly lower in group II (47.4 ± 19.7 hours) than in group I (66.8 ± 27.4 hours) (p= 0.002).
Conclusions: There was a statistically significant difference regarding total decrease in TSB, days of hospitalization and hours of phototherapy when both Bilinorm and phototherapy were used than when phototherapy was used alone. So mechanical elimination of bilirubin from intestinal lumen may enhance the effect of phototherapy.
This research main goal is to identify the concept of relating and eliminating in visual arts and how does work as a philosophic and aesthetic concept of great importance in visual arts, specially in abstract field, for it is related to ornament (geometrical or botanical) for its rising is a sign for the operations of adding and deleting, and studying art products with such trend in their configuration and the boundaries of utilizing this concept. Then taking the art works of the artist Mahdi Mutashar as a research sample for procedural analysis. And outputs that tend in this direction in it's formal being and know the limits of the concept of work -related dialectically interconnected. And then deal procedurally with the works of Iraqi

Moreover, it is used as antibacterial material and also to address some of the respiratory system, diabetes, food preservation osteoporosis. This study involved the collection of olive leaves from different areas in Baghdad / Iraq. These leaves have been harvested, wash it, then dried and crushed, where the study aimed to identify the active ingredients and chemical elements in the olive leaf as well as its effect on the action of GOT enzyme .The study showed that the aqueous extracts (cold and hot) of the olive leaves powder are acidic in nature pH values

To achieve this objective we have built an econometric model, by adapting the production function constant elasticity for substitution, using multiple regression, and enforcement, SPSS program, and using the ordinary least squares method (OLS). The results showed that quantitative factors (labour and capital) are the main sources of growth the cement industry in Iraq, and the qualitative factors (technological progress) did not contribute effectively to achieve this growth. And that the production techniques adopted in the cement industry in

Some argue that there is no stronger media than television in introducing people of the world to each other, as it has the most powerful impact and attracts millions of viewers.
Television is deemed as the most effective tool of media as it is designed to capture both sound and image. The image, in itself, has the ability to engage and interact with our thoughts. In light of the aforementioned, it is noticeable that this interactive medium (television) has significantly evolved over the years, thanks to modern technologies that have been introduced over time.
