The Value of Diffusion Weighted MRI in the Detection and Localization of Prostate Cancer among a Sample of Iraqi Patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Prostatic adenocarcinoma is the most widely recognized malignancy in men and the second cause of cancer-related mortality encountered in male patients after lung cancer.

Aim of the study:  To assess the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and its quantitative measurement, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), in the identification and localization of prostatic cancer compared with T2 weighted image sequence (T2WI).

Type of the study: a prospective analytic study

Patients and methods: forty-one male patients with suspected prostatic cancer were examined by pelvic MRI at the MRI department of the Oncology Teaching Hospital/Medical City in Baghdad from September 2017 to September 2018. Thin sections axial T2 and DWI sequences were performed for each patient. Two patients were excluded from the study due to poor image quality (motion artefact). Regions with hypointense signal on T2WI and/or restricted lesion in DWI were determined. The ADC values were measured and the results were registered and sent for biopsy correlation. The sensitivity, specifity, accuracy and other parameters were calculated for T2WI and DWI.

Results: The sensitivity and specifity of T2WI in the detection of prostate cancer was about 76.6% and 77% respectively. These improved to 96% and 88.8% by performing the DWI and measuring the ADC value. The mean ADC value was greatly lower in prostatic cancer (about 650x 10-6 mm2 /s) than in normal prostate parenchyma (about 1250 x10-6 mm2 /s) with significant difference between them (p value about 0.04)

Conclusion: In practice, using diffusion weighted MRI sequence and its ADC quantitative measurement greatly increases tumor detection in patients suspicious to have prostatic cancer and should be routinely used when doing pelvic MRI for patients with high clinical suspicion.

Assess the level of achievement
...Show More Authors

This work, in fact, is an English language teaching study (henceforth, ELT) which may provide the inspiration for much –needed research on issues such as testing students' level of achievement in articulatory phonetics at the university level. It attempts to answer two questions: 1)What is college students' level of achievement in articulatory phonetics? 2- Are there any statistical significant differences in the achievement of college students in articulatory phonetics between the production and recognition testing techniques? This research falls into three sections: Section one indicates the problem, the aims, the hypotheses, the procedures, the limits and the value of the study. Section two provides a general overview of the articul

Gentamicin Modulates the Gene Expression of hla in Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm
...Show More Authors

Objective: The present work was undertaken to investigate the impact of sub inhibitory concentration of gentamicin on hla gene expression in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Methods: The bacterial isolates used in this study represent 33 MRSA strains, previously isolated form patients visiting several hospitals in Baghdad. Gentamicin, vancomycin, and oxacillin MIC were determined using broth dilution method. Microtiter plate method was adopted to investigate the biofilm forming capacity. Alpha hemolysin was detected by culturing MRSA isolates on rabbit blood agar. Furthermore, hla gene was detected in MRSA isolates using conventional PCR technique; while, qRT-PCR method was performed to assay the hla expression in plank
