Excessive crying in infancy; value of the history and physical examination
...Show More Authors

Background: Excessive crying in early
infancy is a common condition that causes a
great deal of concern to the parents and
physician.
Objective: The aim of this study is to find
the underlying etiology of excessive crying in
infancy and to determine how the history,
physical examination, and laboratory
investigations contribute to the final diagnosis.
Method: A prospective study done on 150
afebrile infants less than 4 months of age
visited Al-Elwia hospital for children
complaining of excessive crying of more than
two hours.
The study done over a one year period from
the first of January 2009 to the end of
December 2009.
All febrile infants and those with acute illness
preceding the onset of crying were excluded
from the study.
Results: Of 150 afebrile infants with
excessive crying 95 cases (63.3%) diagnosed
as having idiopathic colic, 55 cases (36.7%)
have a secondary underlying disorder.
The most common associated disorders
include constipation, 12 cases (8%), gastroesophageal
reflux in 9 cases (6%), and feeding
problems in 9 cases (6%).
Urinary tract infection was the most common
underlying serious etiology found in 4 cases
(2.7%).
History and physical examination contribute to
the final diagnosis in 85% of cases.
Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis of infants
with colic or excessive crying requires a
thorough history and physical examination to
exclude underlying etiology.
Screening laboratory tests apart from urine
analysis and culture is of little help.

It is also used to determine the order of countries and compare them to each other. The research aims at describing and analyzing the GDP during the period from 1980 to 2015 and for the public and private sectors and then forecasting GDP in subsequent years until 2025. To achieve this goal, two methods were used: linear and nonlinear regression. The second method in the time series analysis of the Box-Jenkins models and the using of statistical package (Minitab17), (GRETLW32)) to extract the results, and then comparing the two methods, T

...Show More Authors

The general objective of the research is to better understand changes in land cover and their impact on climatic factors by measuring changes in land cover for the Baghdad city for the period 1999-2021 and evaluating changes in land cover and measuring changes in climatic factors (relative humidity and evaporation). This study from 1999 to 2021 and in two different seasons: the April of the growing season and August the dry season. When using the supervised classification method to determine the differences, the results showed remarkable changes, the study showed the spatial variations in LC from 1999 to 2021 as follows: increase in the vegetation and water bodies during April and decrease this in August while the soil and built up decreas

On The Convergence Speediness of K * and D-Iterations
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>In this article, we introduced a new concept of mappings called δZA - Quasi contractive mapping and we study the K*- iteration process for approximation of fixed points, and we proved that this iteration process is faster than the existing leading iteration processes like Noor iteration process, CR -iteration process, SP and Karahan Two- step iteration process for 𝛿𝒵𝒜 − quasi contraction mappings. We supported our analytic proof by a numerical example.</p>
