The therapeutic decision will search for the main midway between cancer’s negligence and the fear of performing an unnecessary surgical operation for an ovarian cyst.Objective: To review of 116 cases of ovarian cystic diseases aiming in identify proper management and reducing unnecessary surgical intervention.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Al-Elwiya maternity teaching hospital/ Baghdad/ Iraq. One hundred sixteen women underwent surgery for ovarian cystic diseases between January 2010 and December 2011. Age, menopausal status, referral history, clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatments and histopathological results were recorded and the collected data was arranged in tables for analysis.Results: From One hundred sixteen women, One hundred five (90.5%) were premenopausal and eleven (9.5%) were postmenopausal. Thirty two women (27.6%) underwent laparoscopic evaluation for Ovarian cystic diseases, while eighty four (72.4%) were candidates for laparotomy.

The functional cysts presented in sixty of the cases (51.7%), Fifty five (47.4%) were premenopausal and five (4.3%) postmenopausal.Conclusion: There is difficulty in accurate discrimination between types of ovarian cysts In Iraq and we recommend to use risk of malignancy index (RMI) as a simple diagnostic tool that provide to discriminate between malignant and benign ovarian cysts.Keywords: Ovarian cystic diseases, risk of malignancy index (RMI)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic disorder affecting females. The pathology of PCOS is complicated and associated to chronic low-grade inflammation, this includes a disruption in pro-inflammatory factor production, leukocytosis, and endothelial cell dysfunction, also associated with high level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and leukocyte count. In addition, PCOS is characterized by hormonal and immunological dysfunction. Inflammation of the ovary affects ovulation and induces or aggravates systemic inflammation. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1), a pro-inflammatory chemokine, is crucial in the recruitment of inflammatory and immunological cells to the place of inflammation

Show MoreUniversity campuses in Iraq are substantial energy consumers, with consumption increasing significantly during periods of high temperatures, underscoring the necessity to enhance their energy performance. Energy simulation tools offer valuable insights into evaluating and improving the energy efficiency of buildings. This study focuses on simulating passive architectural design for three selected buildings at Al-Khwarizmi College of Engineering (AKCOE) to examine the effectiveness of their cooling systems. DesignBuilder software was employed, and climatic data for a year in Baghdad was collected to assess the influence of passive architectural strategies on the thermal performance of the targeted buildings. The simulations revealed that the
