Correlation between Visfatin and Creatine Kinase Levels with Periodontal Health Status of Patients with Coronary Atherosclerosis and Chronic Periodontitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Visfatin is a novel adipokine that mainly secreted by visceral adipose tissue, had an important role in inflammation and immune system. Creatine Kinase (CK) which is an enzyme that is involved in energy metabolism, found in large amounts in myocardium, brain and skeletal tissues. This study is carried out To evaluate the periodontal health status of the study groups (chronic periodontitis and chronic periodontitis with coronary atherosclerosis) and control groups, to measure the salivary levels of visfatin and Creatine Kinase in these groups and compare between them, and to determine the correlations between salivary visfatin and Creatine Kinase levels with the periodontal parameters in the three groups. Materials and Methods: eighty participants, males and females were recruited in this study with age ranged from (30-60) years, they were divided into three groups: the first study group was the Chronic periodontitis group (n=30), the second study group was chronic periodontitis and coronary atherosclerosis (n=30) and the control group(n=20) which was healthy systemically with healthy periodontium. Periodontal health status was determined by measuring plaque index(PLI),gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth(PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and clinical attachment level (CAL),salivary samples were taken from each participants, salivary visfatin levels were determined by enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay(ELISA) while the activity of salivary Creatine Kinase was determined spectrometrically by using the International Federation of the Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) method on Hitachi 911 Automatic analyzer. Results: The results of the study showed that the mean values of PLI, GI, visfatin, Creatine Kinase and the percentages of sites according to PPD scores, CAL scores, BOP were higher in the second study group with chronic periodontitis and coronary atherosclerosis than in the other groups with highly significant differences between the groups at (P≤0.01). Also by using Pearson Correlation Coefficient, salivary visfatin levels were correlated positively with all clinical periodontal parameters with a strong and positive correlation between salivary visfatin levels and CAL scores and PPD scores. Salivary Creatine Kinase levels were correlated positively with all clinical periodontal parameters with a strong and positive correlation between its levels and mean values of GI and percentages of BOP. Conclusion: The present study showed that salivary visfatin can be used as a marker for the development of coronary atherosclerosis and its levels are associated with the degree of periodontal destruction and showed that Creatine Kinase may be used as a marker for coronary atherosclerosis and chronic periodontitis.

The Role Of Emotional Intelligence in The Board Of Directors and Its Impact On The Performance and Value Of Institutions and Conservative Practices In Light Of Crises (Applied Research On a Sample Of Banks Listed On ISX)
...Show More Authors

This research aims to underscore the significance of women's emotional intelligence in enhancing the effectiveness of the Board of Directors, a crucial component of internal governance, particularly during crises. Despite strides made in recent decades in appointing women to senior roles in government, business, and education, challenges persist in improving women's leadership opportunities, especially in developing countries. The study utilizes statistical methods, including Pearson's correlation, to analyze the relationships between variables within a sample of banks listed on the Iraqi securities market, comparing periods before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2019 and 2020). The goal is to measure the impact of female emotiona

ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF MULTI-DRUD RESISTANCE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS WHICH ISOLATES FROM IRRIGATION AND WASTEWATER IN BAGHDAD CITY*
...Show More Authors

A total number of 68 water samples was revealed 20 isolates being Staphylococcus aureus. Irrigation water isolates represented 25% of isolates while wastewater 75%. all isolates were identified by morphological, microscopial, biochemical tests and VITEK®2 Compact. Bacterial isolates were subjected to 16 antibiotics, all irrigation water and wastewater isolates were resistant to penicillin while they were fully sensitive to Ciprofloxcin. Irrigation water isolates showed relatively greater multi-drug resistance than wastewater, wherein irrigation water isolates showed 100% multi-drug resistance while wastewater isolates showed 73.3% multi-drug resistance, indicating the ability of S. aureus MDR to move from one site to another, which means t

The layered structure of the clause in English and Arabic ditransitive verbs: A Role and Reference Grammar Perspective
...Show More Authors

This paper presents the syntactic dimension of ditransitive verbs in terms of the universal theory of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). This theory is syntactic in nature, but it also covers the semantic as well as the pragmatic aspects of any linguistic phenomenon. It assumes a universal framework through which syntactic constructions can be analyzed. However, the morphological structure that each language enjoys renders the universal treatment more complicated and can question the universal nature of such a theory. In this paper, an attempt is made to check if the universal tenet of the theory is maintained over two typologically different languages: English and Arabic in respect of the way that double-object constructions (DOCs)

Geomagnetic Kp Index and Planetary Magnetosphere Size Relationship: for Mercury and Jupiter During two Types of Geomagnetic Conditions
...Show More Authors

     Kp index correlates with the many magnetosphere properties, which are used to measure the level of magnetic activity. In the solar system, the two different planets, Mercury with weak magnetic field and Jupiter with strong magnetic field, are selected for this study to calculate the planet's magnetosphere radius (RMP) which represents the size of magnetosphere compared with solar activity through Kp index,  through two types of geomagnetic conditions; quiet and strong for the period (2016-2018). From the results, we found that there are reversible relations between them during strong geomagnetic storms, while there are direct relations during quiet geomagnetic conditions. Also it is found that the
