Background: Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) in its various forms can be considered one of the leading causes of central vision loss in the developed world. It is not a disease itself, It represents a common pathologic sequel of the retina and occurs in a variety of pathological conditions such as, diabetic retinopathy, central or branch retinal vein occlusion(CRVO,BRVO), intraocular inflammation and following cataract extraction. Objective: This study was done to investigate the pattern of CME in patient attending Erbil Teaching Hospitals.Type of the study: Cross- sectional study.Methods and Materials: This is a hospital base cross- sectional study that included 61 patients (75 eyes) conducted at Erbil Teaching Hospitals for six months. All patients underwent a comprehensive assessment including medical and ophthalmic history, detailed ophthalmic examination and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) examination.Results: of the 61 patients 32 (52.5%) were females and 29 (47.5%) were males. The mean age was (56.4±10.8) years. Out of the 75 eyes included in the study, 41 eyes (54.66%) had diabetic retinopathy, 10 eyes (13.34%) had CME following cataract operation (Irvine-Gass syndrome), 8 eyes (10.67%) had BRVO, 6 eyes (8%) were had CRVO, 5 eyes (6.66%) had age related macular degeneration, 3 eyes (4%) with uveitis, and 2eyes (2.67%) had Retinitis Pigmentosa. The average macular thickness was (415.6± 107).Conclusions: Diabetic retinopathy is the most common predictive factor of CME, followed by cataract surgery. CME is more severe in diabetic retinopathy, CRVO and after cataract surgery.
This research deals with the work of administrative protection (civil defense), which is vested in the authority of administrative control, and the latter directly related to public freedoms, as the maintenance of public order from various disasters and damage usually requires restriction
In the area of protection of population and property, the administration is forced to put restrictions on some public freedoms in particular, as the administrative protection aims to protect the security of citizens from the risks and the safety of their property, and the prevention of harmful residues that may arise from its exercise. (Civil Defense) Take a set of measures to reduce disasters and damag

Background: The systemic host modulation therapy is new approach in treatment of periodontal diseases. Materials and methods:The target of this treatment is the host response to microbial infection because at present time,it is well known that most of damage found in periodontal diseases cause by the inflammatory -immune response to periodontal infections.Sub-antimicrobial-dose Doxycycline (SDD) is a 20-mg dose of Doxycycline (Periostat) that is approved and indicated as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. Results:At present, SDD (Periostat) is the only systemically administered agent that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and accepted by the American Dental Asso

In the present paper, we introduce the concepts of generalized strong commutativity centralizers preserving and generalized strong cocommutativity preserving centralizers and we prove that R contains a nonzero central ideal if any one of the following conditions holds: (i) ( ) ( ), (ii) [ ( ) ( )] , (iii) [ ( ) ( )] [ ], (iv) ( ) ( ) , (v) ( ) ( ) , (vi) [ ( ) ( )] , (vii) ( ) ( ) ( ), (viii) ( ) ( ) for all .
The aim of this study is to survey and make to revision the genera and species of Chloropidae fauna of Iraq. The investigation showed four species belonging four genera, which belongs to two subfamilies, and one unidentified species belonging to the genus Elachiptera Maquart, The specimens were compared with stored insects at Department of Entomology and invertebrates, Iraq Natural History Research Center and Museum.
Abstract
This study investigated the optimization of wear behavior of AISI 4340 steel based on the Taguchi method under various testing conditions. In this paper, a neural network and the Taguchi design method have been implemented for minimizing the wear rate in 4340 steel. A back-propagation neural network (BPNN) was developed to predict the wear rate. In the development of a predictive model, wear parameters like sliding speed, applying load and sliding distance were considered as the input model variables of the AISI 4340 steel. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significant parameter affecting the wear rate. Finally, the Taguchi approach was applied to determine

Show MoreThis study was carried out to isolate opportunistic hydrocarbons oil-degrading bacteria and develop a consortium or a mixture of bacteria with high biodegradation capabilities which can be used in biological treatment units of the contaminated water before release. The biological processes in general are environmentally friendly and cost effective, as they are easy to design and apply; as such they are more appropriate to the public.

The notion of the -average shadowing property ( ASP ) for a continuous map on –space is introduced and the relation between the ASP and average shadowing property(ASP)is investigated. We show that if has ASP, then has ASP for every . We prove that if a map be pseudo-equivariant with dense set of periodic points and has the ASP, then is weakly mixing. We also show that if is a expansive pseudo-equivariant homeomorphism that has the ASP and is topologically mixing, then has a -specification. We obtained that the identity map on has the ASP if and only if th

This policy is distinguished by its own nature, which stems from the nature of criminalization in these laws, In addition to the law issued by the legislative authority, there are certain cases in which the executive authority has the authority to issue regulations and instructions that are the source of criminalization and punishment in these laws, This policy in private criminal law is based on the criminalization criteria in these laws. The criminal legislator takes the criminality of the nature of the interest, which is often of a changing nature, and the
