Background : The kidneys may be injured in abdominal trauma, both blunt & penetrating. Renal trauma may manifest in a dramatic fashion for both the patient and the clinician. Objectives: To evaluate the incidence, management, morbidity &mortality of renal injury in blunt & penetrating abdominal trauma.
Results:The majority o f patients were males (35= 77.8%), the rest were females (10= 22.2%). The average age was 37 years (range= 18-56 years). The most common grades were grade1, grade2 and grade3 (40=88.9%), while 5 patients (11.1%) were grades 4 and 5.The most common associated injuries were liver, spleen, small & large bowels and diaphragm. The mortality was 20% (9 patients). The most common cause of death was multiple organ injuries in 2 patients (4.4%), kidney with injury of a second organ in 6 patients (13.3%), while delayed surgery was the cause in 1 patient (2.2%), while the most common cause of morbidity was wound infection in 5(11.1%) and wound dehiscence in 2 patients (4.4%), a total morbidity is of 7 patients (15.5%).
Methods: A retrospective study includes 45 patients sustaining renal injury. These trauma patients were admitted to the casualty department in Al-Kindi Teaching Hospital during the period between 1st June 2006 – 31st May 2007. The patients were analyzed regarding their age, sex, mechanism of injury & grade of injury according to Organ Injury Scaling (OIS) classification of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST). Management, morbidity & mortality were also noticed.
Conclusion: Renal injuries are not uncommon injuries, but they are less common than other intraabdominal organs e.g. liver, spleen and bowel. Injury grading using the OIS system (liver, spleen and kidney) of AAST is a useful tool for comparison and to evaluate management according to injury grade.
In this study, NaOH dissolution method was applied to dissolve cellulose fibers which extracted from date palm fronds (type Al-Zahdi) taken from Iraqi gardens. In this process, (NaOH)-solution is brought into contact with the cellulose fibers at low temperature. Experiments were conducted with different concentrations of NaOH (4%, 6%, 8% and12%) weight percent at two cooling bath temperatures (-15 oC) and (-20oC). Maximum cellulose dissolution was 23 wt% which obtained at 8 wt% concentration of NaOH and at cooling bath temperature of -20oC. In order to enhance the cellulose fibers dissolution, the sample was pretreated with Fenton's reagent which consists of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), oxalic acid (C2H2O4) and ferrous sulfate (FeSO4).

But their formation and interpretation are based on different cognitive mechanisms. At the formal and functional level, metonymy and irony have a number of significant differences. Metonymy is an artistic technique, the mechanism of which is based on obvious, easily traced connections between objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. Irony is a satirical technique or a rhetorical figure that is used to create a certain artistic image, aimed at forming the hidden meaning of the statement. A native speaker intuitively feels the difference between metonymy and i

Abstract of the research:
This research sheds light on an important phenomenon in our Arabic language, which is linguistic sediments, and by which we mean a group of vocabulary that falls out of use and that native speakers no longer use it, and at the same time it happens that few individuals preserve the phenomenon and use it in their lives, and it is one of the most important phenomena that It should be undertaken and studied by researchers; Because it is at the heart of our huge linguistic heritage, as colloquial Arabic dialects retain a lot of linguistic sediments, and we usually find them at all levels of language: phonetic, banking, grammatical and semantic. In the
