Effect of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase: Without Complications among Iraqi Patients
...Show More Authors

The current study includes (130) T2DM patients (group P) [51 males and 79 females with an ages range (35 to 55) and ages mean 49.89 years], they are sub-grouped into three categories according to their HbA1c value. patients with HbA1c less than 7 are considered as good controlled diabetic patients (30 patients) (group P1), while patients with HbA1c between 7 and 8 are considered as medium controlled diabetic patients (40 patients) (group P2), and the patient whom their HbA1c more than 8 are considered as uncontrolled diabetic patients (50 patients) (group P3). The patients group results are compared to control healthy subjects (35 subjects) (group C) [14 males and 21 Females with age range 45.51 years] matched for age, gender and BMI were included in the study. Patients and controls groups were characterized in terms of age (year), duration of DM (year), body mass index (BMI) (Kg/ m2) , serum insulin (μIU/ml) , fasting serum glucose (FSG) (mg/dl), Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) parameters using HOMA2 calculator, MDA (mmol/L) using TBA reaction method, \and EC-SOD activity (U/ml) , using riboflavin/NBT method. were measured for patients and control subjects. The HbA1c, FSG, FSI and I.R have been found to be significantly higher in diabetic patients group (P) in comparison to group C. The HOMA parameters (S% and β%) have been found to be significantly higher in group C as compared to diabetic patients group (group P), serum specific SOD activity, EC-SOD activity found to be significantly higher in control group C in comparison to patients group P. Serum MDA level showed a significantly higher value in diabetic patients group P in comparison to control group C. The FSG, FSI and I.R have been showed that they are increased as HbA1c increase, i.e. these parameter were higher in group P3 compared with group P2, group P1 and group C. HOMA parameters (S% and β%) have shown a significant decrease as HbA1c increase, i.e. these parameter were lesser in group P3 than group P2, and were higher in group P2 than group p1, although these parameters were lower in patients group P than control group C. and serum EC-SOD activity were decreased as HbA1c increase, i.e. SOD activity, specific SOD activity and serum EC-SOD activity were found to be significantly higher in group P1 comparing with group P2 and P3, while serum MDA level in group P3 was significantly higher than group P2, and P1. The serum MDA level in group P1 and group P2 showed a significant positive correlation with age. In group P3, MDA showed a significant negative correlation with serum Cr level, while, a significant positive correlation was observed with age, duration of DM, and HbA1c.

We can conclude that the T2DM patients have a risk of oxidative stress due to increasing the level of serum MDA and decreasing EC-SOD activity. The HbA1c value between 7 to 8 % can not be considered as an acceptable HbA1c value, due the severing of oxidative stress rising manifested clearly in this patients group.

The Effect of Daniel's Model on the Achievement of Chemistry Among Fifth Grade Student
...Show More Authors

The aim of this research is to find out the influence of Daniel's model on the skills of the twenty-first century among the students of the scientific-fifth grade at the secondary and preparatory government morning schools for the academic year 2022- 2023. Two groups were chosen out of five groups for the fifth-scientific grade, one of which represents the experimental group that is taught by the Daniel model, and the other is the control group that is taught in the traditional method. The equivalence of the two research groups was verified with a set of variables. As for the research tool, a scale was developed by the researchers for the skills of the twenty-first century, in which they adopted the framework of the Partnership Organizat

Determination The Effect of ZnO on Iraqi Bentonite Surface Properties
...Show More Authors

Bentonite is widely used in industrial applications. The present study reports the effect of adding different weights of ZnO to the Iraqi bentonite, on surface area, pore volume and real density. These surface properties were evaluated for pure and modified bentonite. The modification was made by adding different ZnO weights such as; ( 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10% ). The effect of heat exposing for all modified clay samples at 500 ?C have been also evaluated. The results show that the addition of 0.5% ZnO leads to increase the surface area percentage about 36%, increase pore volume percentage about 5.48% and increase the real density percentage about 27.116%. When the samples exposed to 500 ?C, their surface area and pore volumes have been decreased a

Numerical Analysis of Laminar Natural Convection in Square Enclosure with and without Partitions and Study Effect of pPartition on the Flow Pattern and Heat Transfer
...Show More Authors

The problem of steady, laminar, natural convective flow in an square enclosure with and without partitions is considered for Rayleigh number (103-106) and Prandtl number (0.7). Vertical walls were maintained isothermal at different temperatures while horizontal walls and the partitions were insulated. The length of partition was taken constant. The number of partitions were placed on horizontal surface in staggered arrangement from (1– 3) and ratio of partition thickness (H/L= 0.033, 0.083, 0.124). The problem is formulated in terms of the vorticity-stream function procedure. A numerical solution based on a program in Fortran 90 with the finite difference method is obtained. Representative results illustrating the effects of the thickn

Drug Resistant Epilepsy Among Patients Attended The Neurosciences Hospital
...Show More Authors

Background: Drug resistant epilepsy is defined as failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used antiepileptic drug schedules to achieve sustained seizure freedom. Up to 30% of patients referred to clinics with a diagnosis of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy may have been misdiagnosed, and many can be helped by optimizing their treatment.Pseudoresistance, in which seizures persist because the underlying disorder has not been adequately or appropriately treated, must be ruled out or corrected before drug treatment can be considered to have failed.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the causes of drug failure in patients with epilepsy and to differenti
