Background: The Infraorbital foramen is an anatomical structure with an important location in the maxilla, position of foramen in maxillofacial area is necessary in clinical situation requiring regional nerve blocks that are performed in children undergoing facial surgeries to avoid injury to corresponding nerve. The aim of study was to determine the position of the Infraorbital foramen and to correlate Infraorbital foramen position with age and gender using computed tomography. Subjects, Materials, and Methods: The sample consist of prospective study for 50 Iraqi subjects (21 male and 29 female) with age ranged from (5-17) years. The examination was performed on Multi – Slice Spiral Tomography scanner in Al-Karakh General Hospital. Using sagittal and coronal sections including right and left sides and the following measurements were done: 1. The distance from crista galli to the midpoint of fusion of hard palate(Midline of the patient) in the coronal section. 2. The distance from mid line to the infraorbital foramen, in the coronal section for both sides right and left. 3. The distance from sella turcica to the infraorbital foramen, in sagittal section for both sides right and left. 4. The distance from nasion to the infraorbital foramen, in coronal section for both sides right and left. Results: The partial regression coefficient for each year increase in age the linear measurements (midline-infraorbital foramen) (nasion-infraorbital foramen) and (vertical distance from nasion meeting the horizontal line from infraorbital foramen to midline) are expected to significantly increase after adjusting for confounding effect of gender. From multiple linear regression model designed in this study two mathematical formulae were derived for correlation of infraorbital foramen position with the age and gender:- Y1 [Linear measurement (Midline-Infraorbital foramen) mm] = 19.56 + (1.02 x gender) + (0.53x age in years). Y2 [Linear measurement (vertical distance from nasion meeting the horizontal line from Infraorbital foramen to midline)] = 28.42 + (2.5 x gender) + (0.30 x age in years). Conclusions: Computed tomography scan information facilitates the localization of infraorbital foramen position for successful access of the needle in infraorbital nerve block in children of different age and gender.
This research aims to evaluate the serum levels of vitamin D and interleukin 17 (Il-17) in pregnant women, then finding the correlation between these maternal parameters and fetus biophysical profile. Healthy pregnant women (n=45) and non-pregnant control (n=45) were involved in the study, who attended Baghdad medical laboratory, Baghdad, Iraq, with an age range of 20 to 40 years. An analytical study was conducted from October 2019 until January 2020.
The results of the study show that the mean value of vitamin D level significantly increases (P≤0.05) in pregnant women (11.07±0.93 ng/ml) in comparison with that in non-pregnant control (8.03±0.69 ng/ml). The level of IL-17 was significantly higher (P≤0.001) in the preg

Therefore, it is not possible to be surrounded by an actual briefing from one-sided premises such as those that are based solely on the artistic, aesthetic or technical aspects, without linking it to the culture in which it is produced. The researcher attempts to shed light on the relation between the advertising letter and the concept of gender. And here lies the importance of the research as the content of the ads and their form and implicit values in the text and image reflect the cultural values that must be identified as well as the most important roles that are stereotyped in advertisements and their relationship to the culture of society.

Recently, deep neural networks, especially deep convolution networks, have participated greatly in end-to-end learning which reduce need for human designed features in the image recognition like Convolution Neural Network. It is offers the computation models which are made up of several processing layers for learning data representations with several abstraction levels. In this work, a pre-trained deep CNN is utilized according to some parameters like filter size, no of convolution, pooling, fully connected and type of activation function which includes 300 images for training and predict 100 image gender using probability measures.

If we go beyond the technical aspects of the Web 2.0, and we focus specifically on its interactive characteristics, we may say it represents not only a fundamental shift in the structure of the press institutions and its practices but also a shift in the relationships that existed, previously, between the press and the audience. Web 2.0 has enabled the newspapers to renovate their representations and practices of the profession and opens to the new horizons either in terms of readership or advertising revenues. Parallel to that it also has empowered the user to transcend the passivity he has always been confined in and has become a more active participant in the creation and generation of media contents even though this practice is somew

To determine the relative age of groundwater by measuring the tritium concentration in groundwater, four wells and four springs water samples were taken. Found that the mean tritium concentration in springs samples is 4.125 TU where in wells samples is 2 TU. Using Clark and Firtz (1997) classification found that the relative age is amix of sub modern and modern water. Through modern study was performed by Al-Paruany (2013) found that the tritium concentration in rainfall in Al-Diwaniyah Meteoric Station has reached the natural level (approximately 5TU). Throug

Background: The value of lateral cephalometric radiographs to evaluate the pharyngeal airway is limited because it provided 2-dimensional (2D) images of complex 3-dimensional (3D) anatomic structures. Three dimensional analyses of the airway volumes are required to understand oral and pharyngeal adaptations in mouth breathing and nasal breathing subjects. The aim of this study was to measure the pharyngeal airway volume and the size of the face, then compare between pharyngeal airway volume in mouth breathing and nasal breathing subjects and find the gender difference in each group, also to study the relation between pharyngeal airway volume and the size of the face. Material and Methods: Fifty patients including 28 males and 22 females wit
... Show MoreLocalization is an essential demand in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It relies on several types of measurements. This paper focuses on positioning in 3-D space using time-of-arrival- (TOA-) based distance measurements between the target node and a number of anchor nodes. Central localization is assumed and either RF, acoustic or UWB signals are used for distance measurements. This problem is treated by using iterative gradient descent (GD), and an iterative GD-based algorithm for localization of moving sensors in a WSN has been proposed. To localize a node in 3-D space, at least four anchors are needed. In this work, however, five anchors are used to get better accuracy. In GD localization of a moving sensor, the algo
