Role of MRI diffusion weighted imaging in differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian masses
...Show More Authors

Background: Characterization of the ovarian masses preoperatively is important to inform the surgeon about the possible management strategies. MRI may be of great help in identifying malignant lesion before surgery. Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) is a sensitive method for changes in proton of water mobility caused by pathological alteration of tissue cellularity, cellular membrane integrity, extracellular space perfusion, and fluid viscosity.

Objective: to study the diagnostic accuracy of DWI in differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian masses.

Type of the study:Cross-sectional study.

Methods: this study included  53with complex ovarian mass or masses ,Diffusion Weighted Imaging was obtained to all these patient with correlation to the histopathological results; the Signal Intensity (SI) of the solid and cystic part of the lesions was evaluated on T2 and Diffusion Weighted Imaging  ,with Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values were also obtained .

Results: 22 masses out of the total 53 were malignant and 31 were benign .On DWI the high SI intensity observed more frequently in the malignant lesions than the benign lesions (p value 0.0293) .There was significant difference between the mean ADC value of the malignant and benign ovarian lesions, with the mean ADC value for the benign lesions solid component =1.05 x10 -3, and the mean ADC value for the malignant lesions solid component =0.91 x10-3. The ROC study reveals that 0.926 x 10 -3  may be the optimal cutoff value  with sensitivity 54.8 %, specificity 59.1%, NPV 48.15 %, PPV 63.39%  , Accuracy 56.6%. With exclusion of the teratoma and endometriomas from statistical analysis the ROC reveals that 0.99 x10 -3  may be the optimal cut off value with sensitivity 76.9 % , specificity 77.3% , PPV 66.67% , NPP 85% and  accuracy 77.14% Conclusions: Combined with conventional pelvic MRI, DWI is a helpful tool in differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian masses, with high signal intensity on DWI more frequently observed in the malignant than benign ovarian lesions.

Studying Audio Capacity as Carrier of Secret Images in Steganographic System
...Show More Authors

Steganography art is a technique for hiding information where the unsuspicious cover signal carrying the secret information. Good steganography technique must be includes the important criterions robustness, security, imperceptibility and capacity. The improving each one of these criterions is affects on the others, because of these criterions are overlapped each other.  In this work, a good high capacity audio steganography safely method has been proposed based on LSB random replacing of encrypted cover with encrypted message bits at random positions. The research also included a capacity studying for the audio file, speech or music, by safely manner to carrying secret images, so it is difficult for unauthorized persons to suspect

Clinical Analysis of Four Maternity Deaths in Iraq by COVID-19
...Show More Authors

 

This study aims to identify maternal death cases caused by Coronavirus infection 2019 pneumonia, including disease progression, fetal consequences, and the fatality cause.

Patients and methodology: A retrospective case collection of Iraqi pregnant women in their second and third trimesters diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia and died due to it.

The four cases were all of a young age, had a brief complaint period, and had no comorbidities. Fever, dyspnea, and fatigue were the most common symptoms. Hypoxia was present in all cases and was the cause of mortality in three cases, with thromboembolism being a potential cause in the fourth. Prelabour membrane breakup, fetal growth restriction, and fetal death are al

Innervation of the pineal gland in the rat: A chromotolysis study
...Show More Authors

Back ground: The innervations of the pineal
gland from the superior cervical ganglion have
shown some form of a chromatolysis reaction.
Objective:
1-Tracing the innervations of the pineal gland by
removing the target tissue (the pineal gland in
this study) i.e. (pinealoctomy) and removal of the
superior cervical ganglion i.e. (ganglionectomy).
2- The localization and total number of the
neurons which project into the rat pineal gland
3-The effect of pinealoctomy on the SCG after a
different time interval.
Methods: Twenty five albino rats were used in
this study, Pinealoctomy was done, then after a
different time interval ganglionectomy was done,
in order to study the Chromatolysis in their cel

Penetration of charged particles in ZnO using energy loss function model
...Show More Authors

In this paper, we propose an approach to estimate the induced potential, which is generated by swift heavy ions traversing a ZnO thin film, via an energy loss function (ELF). This induced potential is related to the projectile charge density, ρq(k) and is described by the extended Drude dielectric function. At zero momentum transfer, the resulting ELF exhibits good agreement with the previously reported results. The ELF, obtained by the extended Drude model, displays a realistic behavior over the Bethe ridge. It is observed that the induced potential relies on the heavy ion velocity and charge state q. Further, the numerical results show that the induced potential for neutral H, as projectile, dominates when the heavy ion velocity is less

In Situ Gelling Formulation of Naproxen for Oral Sustained Delivery System
...Show More Authors

Naproxen is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which has antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect. It is extensively bound to plasma albumin, and exhibits gastric toxicity, so it may be more efficient to deliver the drug in its sustained release dosage form and adequate blood level is achieved. Three liquid formulations with in situ gelling properties have been assessed for their potential for the oral sustained delivery of naproxen . The formulations were dilute solutions of: (a) pectin; (b) gellan gum and; (c) sodium alginate, all containing complexed calcium ion that form gels when these ions are released in the acidic environment of the stomach . The viscosity of the sols and drug release were measured, and was found to be depende

 Drama is one of the means of transmitting human experiences, as it presents within it the life ideas and visions of the spectator, who is subject to their influence on him, robbed of the will in front of its charm and various display arts, which invade him with its dimensions and affect his references, and this art form is based on stories revolving around personalities involved in events that have grown As a result of the struggle of two conflicting opponents, or two opposing forces or emotions generated as a result of a voluntary conflict, as this dramatic conflict represents the most important elements of those events, as it is embodied in an inevitable scene that emerges from other scenes, and this scene is sometimes subject to the
