...Show More Authors

  The study aimed to estimate  the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)  and visfatin as a novel  pro inflammatory marker in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA ) according to the activity scores of disease to assess the possibility of introducing glucagon-like peptide-1 and visfatin in the diagnosis and monitoring of RA patients and to found the correlation  of visfatin level with GLP-1 and AIP in patients prone to atherosclerosis ,fifty  healthy individuals as control group (G1) and fifty rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (G2) were enrolled in this study with middle age  ranged (30 – 40) years and BMI ≥24 kg/m2. ESR ,RF, lipid profile, CRP,insulin, visfatin and GLP-1were determined. Results in table (1) revealed highly significant increase in ESR,RF,TC,TG,LDL,VLDL and AIP level in rheumatoid arthritis (G2) comparing  to (G1) while significant decrease noticed in (G2) group comparing  to (G1). Results in table(2) showed highly significant increase in insulin ,CRP, visfatin and GLP-1 level   Results in table(3) illustrated correlation relation data and results revealed highly significant ,were r=0.035 for GLP-1 with visfatin for (G1), and highly significant , r= -0.089 for (G2)  as shown in figure(1-A) and(1-B),  the result also highly significant were r= -0.183 for  GLP-1 with CRP for control group and significant ,r= 0.043 for GLP-1 with CRP  for RA group as shown in figure(2-A) and(2-B), and  significant, r= -0.056 for GLP-1with AIP  for G1 and no significant, were r= 0.042 for GLP-1 with AIP  for G2  as  shown in figure (3-A)and (3-B). conclusion that summarized from this study is glucagon-like peptide-1 and  visfatin plays a role in RA pathogenesis that can be considered marker in RA . and may be used as a drug in future for  RA patients.

Atmospheric Stability and Its Effect on The Polluted Columns of Concentrations in North West of Baghdad City
...Show More Authors

Atmospheric stability plays the most important role in the transport and dispersion of air pollutants. Different methods are used for stability determination with varying degrees of complexity. Most of these methods are based on the relative magnitude of convective and mechanical turbulence in atmospheric motions, such as Richardson number, Monin-Obukhov length, Pasquill-Gifford stability classification and Pasquill-Turner stability classification. The Pasquill-Turner Method (PTM), which is employed in this study used Observations of wind speed, solar altitude angle and the time of day to classify atmospheric stability with distinguishable indices. As a case study, meteorological data that gathered from European Centre For Medium-Range W

Digital Image Authentication Algorithm Based on Fragile Invisible Watermark and MD-5 Function in the DWT Domain
...Show More Authors

Using watermarking techniques and digital signatures can better solve the problems of digital images transmitted on the Internet like forgery, tampering, altering, etc. In this paper we proposed invisible fragile watermark and MD-5 based algorithm for digital image authenticating and tampers detecting in the Discrete Wavelet Transform DWT domain. The digital image is decomposed using 2-level DWT and the middle and high frequency sub-bands are used for watermark and digital signature embedding. The authentication data are embedded in number of the coefficients of these sub-bands according to the adaptive threshold based on the watermark length and the coefficients of each DWT level. These sub-bands are used because they a
