OBJECTIVE: To record the common presentation
symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux LPR in
Kurdistan- Iraq. To study the significance of fibro optic
laryngoscope in diagnosis and improvement of
laryngopharyngeal reflux [LPR] and to evaluate the
effect of medical therapy on these nonspecific
symptoms and Laryngoscopic finding.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted over
a two year period at Rizgary teaching hospital,
Kurdistan/lraq; on 132 patients who presented
primarily with Laryngopharyngeal symptoms .They
were evaluated using special questionnaire for
recording these symptoms: persistent chronic cough,
globus sensation, throat clearing, voice change,
regurgitation, heartburn, symptoms of peptic ulcer
disease, and any other non specific respiratory
symptom. These symptom and Laryngoscopic findings
pre and post anti-reflux therapy were recorded.
Esophagogastro - duodenoscopy findings were also
recorded but only on presentation.
RESULTS: A total of 132 patients were evaluated over
a two year period .Respiratory symptoms at
presentation were persistent irritative cough [92%],
itchy throat [85%], globus pharynges [83%], and
cricopharngeal spasm [57%]. Endoscope findings
revealed gastroduodenitis in 5%, non specific gastritis
in 9%, duodenal ulcer in 2%, and normal findings in
62.7%, while Laryngoscopic finding were mainly
posterior commissure injection 82%, vocal cord edema
74%, laryngeal erythema 77% and subglottic edema
24%. Patients were treated medically with antacids, H2
antagonists, proton pump inhibitors and were followed
up and reexamined by laryngoscope; all data about
improvement in symptom and in the laryngeal sign by
Laryngoscopic findings were collected following antireflux therapy and showed significant improvement in
both ,all were analyzed in special figures and tables.
CONCLUSION: Reflux laryngitis and LPR should be
a differential diagnosis in patient with pharyngeal and
laryngeal symptoms not associated with upper
respiratory disease in the presence or absence of GERD
or peptic ulcer symptom, dyspepsia, regurgitation. The
management should be multidisciplinary.
Laryngoscopic finding were of value in the diagnosis of
the changes in laryngeal mucosa pre and post medical
treatment by Proton Pump Inhibitors empirical therapy

Treatment of Striae Grvidarum as a Type of Striae Distensae Using Long Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser (1064nm) and Fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm)
...Show More Authors

Striae distensae SD or stretch mark are frequent skin lesion that cause considerable aesthetic concern. The 1064nm long pulsed Nd:YAG Laser has been used to promote an increase in dermal collagen and is known to be a Laser that has a high affinity to vascular chromphores. Also by using fractional CO2 Laser 10600nm as an effective modality in treatment of striae distensae SD. It works to stimulate fibroblast and enhance Collagen formation, which is important for newly generated skin tissue.

Objectives: This study aims to verify the efficacy of long pulsed Nd: YAG Laser (1064nm) in the treatment of immature striae distensae (SD) and the efficacy of C02 fractional Laser (10600nm) in treatment o

Radon concentration measurements in sludge of oil fields in North Oil Company (N.O.C.) of Iraq
...Show More Authors

In this study the assessment radon concentration in sludge of Oil
Fields in North Oil Company (N.O.C.) of Iraq have been studied
using CR-39 solid–state nuclear track detector technique. A total of
34 samples selected from 12 oil stations in the company have been
placed in the dosimeters. The average radon concentration was found
to be 162.29 Bq/m3 which is fortunately lower than the standard
international limit. The potential alpha energy concentration and
annual effective dose have been calculated. A proportional
relationship between the annual effective dose and radon
concentration within the studied region has been certified.

One of the most important features of American foreign activity during the second half of the 19th century was the encouragement of sending Protestant missionary missions to all countries around the world. The mission of these missions was facilitated by the weakened state of the Ottoman Empire, the increasing influence of European countries, and their interference in its internal affairs. Despite the Ottoman efforts to counter the activities of these missions, the American missionary missions adopted a well-planned strategy that suited the conditions of the region, aimed at achieving their goals through direct and indirect methods, including intervention in the field of education. These missions gave great importance to educational aspects
