تضاعف انتشار مرض السكري من النوع 2 في السنوات الأخيرة نتيجة الخلل في إنتاج الأنسولين ، والذي يمكن أن يتطور ليشكل مضاعفات مرض السكري التي تؤثر على الكلى والأعصاب والعينين. ونتيجة لذلك ، فإن التشخيص المبكر والتصنيف لمرض السكري من النوع الثاني ضروريان لمساعدة الطبيب على التقييم. وفقًا لذلك ، هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى تحديد مستويات بروتين ارتباط الريتينول 4 (RBP4) في المرضى الذين يعانون من السكري النوع الثاني وما قبل السكري كمنبئ مبكر لحالة المرض. وكنتيجة لذلك ، هدفت الدراسة الحالية الى تحديد مستوى البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 لمرضى السكري النوع الثاني وحالة ما قبل السكري كمؤشر مبكر لحالة المرض. شملت الدراسة الحالية على 138 شخصا، مقسمة الى ثلاث مجاميع على اساس معايير مستوى السكر الصيامي والهيموكلوبين المسكر تمثل مجموعة السكري(46 مريضا) ومجموعة ماقبل السكري ( 46 شخصا) ومجموعة الاصحاء (46 شخصا) عند مراجعتهم للمركز الوطني للسكري- الجامعة المستنصرية. تم استخدام مقايسة الممتز المناعي المرتبط بالانزيم للكشف عن مسنوى البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 والانسولين وتقنيات القياس الطيفي لتحديد مستويات السكر الصيامي والدهون. اظهرت نتائج البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 فروق معنوية(P≤0.0001) بين المجموعات المدروسة. كما أظهرت نتائج الأنسولين اختلافات معنوية (P≤0.0001) بين مجموعة مرضى السكر ومجموعة السيطرة. واظهرت نتائج مقاومة الانسولين فروق معنويه((P≤0.0001 كما اظهرت نتائج ملف الدهون تأثير معنوي (P≤0.002), (P≤0.0001), (P≤ 0.050) ماعدا HDL التي اظهرت عدم وجود فرق معنوي(P≤.0.148). يمكن الاستنتاج ان البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 يمكن ان يكون مؤشر مبكر لمرض السكري وعززت ذلك نتائج تحليل ال ROC والتي اكدت الى ان البروتين المرتبط بالريتينول 4 هو مؤشر ممتاز لتشخيص الحالة المدروسة.
The current paper aims to identify potential factors associated with employees’ intentions to leave information and communication technology companies in Iraq. There is evident variability in the literature regarding these factors; hence, a factor analysis approach was employed to identify these factors within the surveyed environment. Due to the difficulty in precisely delineating the size of the research population, a purposive sampling method was employed to reach an appropriate number of respondents within the aforementioned companies. A total of 288 employees responded to the survey conducted via Google Forms. The test results revealed the presence of five primary factors associated with employees’ intentions to leave, name

Obesity is an escalating health problem in developing countries. One to ten children worldwide are overweight in a report showed by the International Obesity Task Force. Ghrelin, orexigenic peptide, has 28 amino acids, it is considered the greatest remarkable promotion in the last two decades for understanding the physiological changes of action regulating food intake and hunger. Obestatin is a 23-amino acid peptide nearly connected to ghrelin that secures from substitutio

Show MoreAs cultures are mainly divided into collectivistic and individualistic, members tend to emphasize, through communication, either their position as part of their group or their independence from the group. This emphasis is manifested in using the pragmatic concepts of positive politeness and negative politeness. The present study looks into the reflection of these two cultures in Rockstar’s renowned video game, Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). It aims at identifying the two cultures as present in the game and showing their significance to its narrative. It fills the gap in the studies of language used within video games as well as its cultural reflections. The study addresses the following question: What are the positive and negative

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths from gynecological malignancies. Angiogenesis is considered essential for tumor growth and the development of metastases. VEGF and IL?8 are potent angiostimulatory molecules and their expression has been demonstrated in many solid tumors, including ovarian cancer.VEGF and IL-8 concentrations were measured by ELISA test (HumanVEGF,IL-8). Bioassay ELISA/ US Biological / USA).The median VEGF and IL-8 levels were significantly higher in the sera of ovarian cancer patients than in those with benign tumors and in healthy controls.Pretreatment VEGF and IL-8 serum levels might be regarded as an additional tool in the differentiation of ovarian tumors.
Econazole nitrate (EN) is considered as the most effective agent for the treatment of all forms of dermatomycosis caused by dernatophytes. It was formulated as a topical solution in our laboratories. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Econazol Nitrate in the prepared formula and compared with that of commercial brand, Pevaryl®. A total of 104 patient suffering from dermatomycoses were involved in this investigation. Both formula were applied to the affected skin region in the morning and evening from week to 16 weeks with light massage until complete healing effect was achieved. The data revealed that the percentage of cured patient treated with the prepared formula and reference formula of Ecanozol Nitrate 1% so

In Iraq, among the Arab ethnic background, this association has not yet been highlighted. Methods: One hundred and ninety-two asthmatics were examined; 118 males and 74 females (mean age 38.23 ± 9.13 years). The control group was 183; 110 males and the rest were females. The SNP of rs2280091 A/G (T1) was studied here to determine adam33 genotyping status using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP). The level of total IgE was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Significant differences (p = 0.004) in the frequencies of
