Background: Many previous studies were concerned with
the relationship between gestational diabetes and the
development of vaginal candidiasis in pregnant women. In
this study, our aim is directed to uncover glucose tolerance
status in non-diabetic pregnant women inflicted with
candida albicans.
Methods: Thirty-four pregnant women with vaginal
condidiasis (as demonstrated by microscopy) were enrolled
in this study. The patients were nearly similar in their
anthropometric and demographic criteria with those of the
healthy pregnant women (control group, forty –two
women). Fasting plasma sugar and glucose tolerance test
were alone for all patients and control group.
Results: fasting plasma sugar was significantly higher in
the candidiasis-positive pregnant women in comparison to
those of candidiasis-negative subjects (5.09 mmol/L vs.
4.71, p <0.02). Plasma glucose level after 30 minutes of
performing oral glucose tolerance test was also significant
(8.47mmol/Lvs. 7.84, P <0.04). The same trend of
significance was noticed after 60 minutes and 120 minutes
of performing the corresponding test.
The results were (8.13 mmol/L vs. 7.10, P <0.02) and
(6.90mmol/L vs. 6.15, P<0.05) respectively.
Conclusion: the results reveal an impaired oral glucose
tolerance test in pregnant women with candida albicans
Background: Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in women. In radiotherapy practice, it comprises 25% of patient caseload. This makes understanding the breast irradiation toxicities of prime importance. Early radiation toxicities occur during treatment and up to six months after treatment finished.
Objectives: assessment of the early side effects of adjuvant external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in breast cancer patients.
Patients and Methods: A cross sectional survey with analytic component conducted on 60 patients treated in the oncology teaching hospital of medical city from January to April 2016.
Results: The most prevalent toxicities were radiation dermatitis, fatigue, pain, sore throat, nausea, dysphagia,&
Abstract
In this paper presents two dimensional turbulent flow of different nanofluids and ribs configuration in a circular tube have been numerically investigation using FLUENT 6.3.26. Two samples of CuO and, ZnO nanoparticles with 2% v/v concentration and 40 nm as nanoparticle diameter combined with trapezoidalribs with aspect ratio of p/d=5.72 in a constant tube surface heat flux were conducted for simulation. The results showed that heat flow as Nusselt number for all cases raises with Reynolds number and volume fraction of nanofluid, likewise the results also reveal that ZnO with volume fractions of 2% in trapezoidal ribs offered highest Nusselt number at Reynolds number of Re= 30000.

Background: Respiratory distress remains a major problem post adaptation and one of the most common reasons for admission of neonates to Intensive Care.
Objectives: To study the causes and short term outcomes of respiratory distress in full term neonates and its correlation to mode of delivery.
Patients and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out on 100 full termoutborn neonates with respiratory distress admitted to Neonatal care unit of Children Welfare Teaching Hospital, Medical City, Baghdad from 1st of April to 31st of August 2011.
Results: Hundred full term neonateswerestudied, 66% were boys and 81% born by cesarean section (elective cesarean sectionin 62%). In both sexes, Transient TachypneaofNewbornan
Background: ultrasound offers non-invasive, rapid and simple method for confirming the clinical diagnosis of maxillary sinus pathologies.
Objective: to evaluate the accuracy of real time ultrasound compared with the computed tomography in evaluation of maxillary sinusitis.
Patients and materials: This comparative cross-sectional study was done on 42 patients referred for computed tomography examination of paranasal sinuses in Al-Yarmook Teaching Hospital-Baghdad, from October 2012 to February 2013 with patients clinically suggesting an underlying maxillary sinusitis. Ultrasound and computed tomography examinations were carried out on the same day, the ultrasound being the first investigation. The sample of this study consisted of 2
The genus of Androctonus is widely distributed in Asia and Africa .It is found in Egypt, Palestine, Iran, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The present study is the first taxonomic study to describe Androctonus crassicauda (Oliver,1807) in Iraq .The genus Androctonus recognized by three main characters which are: color it is ranges from light brown to raddish to blackish brown to black, pedipalp (Chelae) is narrower than patella in adults, and pedipalp fingers with many denticles. Among other characters by which the genus can be distinguished by body hairs and, the rows of denticles on pedipalp fingers. The main morphological characters of the species are figured of And

Climate change poses a difficult challenge to social justice, people are not equally affected by climate change, especially the most vulnerable groups in developing countries because they are least prepared to face the effects of climate change, and the term climate justice is used to consider human rights, equality and historical responsibility in relation to climate change, and concepts of environmental justice can In particular, social justice in general is to achieve climate justice through the implementation of human rights, and within the framework of international efforts to confront climate change, the 2015 Paris Agreement was adopted, which included mechanisms based on transparency and subject to international review, and recogn
