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.
An experiment was carried out by using post in kalar horticulture Station/Sulaimania province on soil taked from once region sields during growing season of 2008-2009. The objective was to study adding increasing levels of urea fertilizer which is (0.0, 0.20, 0.40, 0.80) gm/Pot and superphosphate fertilizer which is (0.0, 0.24, 0.48) gm/pot in some chemical properties of grain for wheat IPA 95. This experiment was carried out by completely randomized design (CR D) with three replications. Results in dictated of clear increase in all the studied characteristics (concentration for each nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and carbohydrate percentage with increasing levels of fertilizers).
he study aimed to purify of Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) from sera of hyperthyroidism patients and its relation to some thyroid hormones (TSH, T 3 , T 4 ) of subclinical hyperthyroidism and hyperthyroidism patients with lipid peroxidation levels that may be play a role in this diseases. Specimens were collected during the time from Nov 2017 until Jan 2018 from Endocrine and Diabetes Center, blood samples were collected from fifty healthy control and one hundred patients, patients were divided into two groups consisted of (50) with hyperthyroidism and (50) with subclinical hyperthyroidism. The aged for all subjects ranged (15-60) years with body mass ranged ((25- 29) kg/m 2 . The purification is done by addition of ammonium sulfate, dial

Traditional obesity indices as body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip-ratio are well known measures to identify obese subjects, however, neck circumference as an index of upper-body obesity was found to be a simple and time-saving screening measure that can be used to identify obesity and the likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetic patients.
Aim: to investigate the relationship of neck circumference (NC) to obesity and metabolic syndrome in Iraqi subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The study group included 90 type 2 diabetic subjects (48 men and 42 women) aged 30-68 years. The subjects were those w
Background: All diseases concerning bone destruction such as osteoporosis and periodontal diseases share common pattern in which the osteoclast cells are absolutely responsible for bone resorption that occurred when osteoclast activity exceeds osteoblast activity. Osteoprotegrin (OPG) considered as novel soluble decoy receptor known as “bone protector†since it prevents extreme bone resorption through inhibition of differentiation and activity of osteoclast by competing for binding site. It binds to receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and prevent its interaction with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK), thus inhibits osteoclast formation. TNF-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokines having

In 2022 Russian –Ukrainian war, news agencies such as the pro-Kremlin Russian news agency Russia Today (RT) and the Cable Central Network (CNN) published an exchange of accusations about the conflict. This paper aims to find out how various news agencies express American accusations against Russia and Russian accusations against the USA linguistically. The study data include selected news headlines by various news agencies. The study identified the pragmatic devices that characterize the headlines of the selected news stories. It attempts to specify which spe
