Pilot phase of Iraqi Registry of Cardiovascular Diseases in Women: Assessing the Feasibility of Large Data Registry in Absence of Funding
...Show More Authors
Objectives:

Despite that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death in women worldwide and that the existent evidence that women with CVD differs from men with the same diseases from many views including pathophysiological to therapeutic. Yet, there is an unmet need for registries focused on sex differences in CVD, as the first step toward patient-centered trials, guidelines, and protocols. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no prior registry focusing exclusively on CVD in women with sex-focused research questions and methodology thus far.

Materials and Methods:

The Iraqi Registry of Cardiovascular Diseases in Women (IROCW) recruits women who were admitted to the included centers in Iraq. IROCW includes different cardiovascular diseases which are ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, heart failure (HF), and arrhythmias. In this paper, we included the results of the pilot phase that was designed and implemented to ensure the feasibility of a large-scale sex-specific cardiovascular registry in Iraq.

Results:

The pilot phase included 150 patients, mean age was 60 years, and 89.3% of patients resided in urban areas. 60% of the women’s family total income was <500 USD. The most common cardiac risk factor is hypertension while menopause and gestational hypertension are the most common sex-specific risk factors. In-hospital echocardiography was done in 26%. In-hospital HF was reported in 20% of patients. Aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors, heparin, and statin were used in 85.8%, 60.4%, 35.4%, and 87.9%, respectively. B-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) were used in 71.1%, 62.8%, and 7.2% respectively. Dietary instructions as indicated on discharge were done properly in 96.6%, while smoking cessation counseling and referral for cardiac rehabilitation were not done properly in daily practice. 78% of our pilot population were reachable at 1-month follow-up.

Conclusion:

Up to our knowledge, the IROCW registry is the first sex-focused methodology cardiac registry that will bridge the knowledge gap in clinical characteristics, diagnostic parameters, and management plans in women with CVD, and it will also assess the prognostic benefit of different guideline-directed medical therapies; specifically in women, an issue that is not settled in existing literature. If the second large cohort of IROCW is achieved as planned, it will generate data that can help in establishing a roadmap to decrease the CVD burden in women in Iraq.

Modal Component in Meaningful Structure of the Utterance with the Semantics of “Disappearance” in Russian
...Show More Authors

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of modal framework of the utterance with the semantics of “disappearance” in modern Russian language. The empirical basis of the study was the works of Russian writers, such as M.A. Bulgakov, F.M. Dostoevsky, A.I. Kuprin., L.M. Leonov, B.L. Pasternak, K.G. Paustovsky, L.N. Tolstoy, I.S. Turgenev and others. The author focuses special attention on the role of the modal component in the formation of the sentences and its modal semantics. A lot attention is paid to the analysis of the reasons of productivity / low productivity in the functioning of the temporal forms of the verbs that form these utterances. The nature of the material of study determined the choice of

Snubber Network Design for Triac Driving Single – Phase Industrial Heater by Applying Fuzzy Logic Method
...Show More Authors

Power switches require snubbing networks for driving single – phase industrial heaters. Designing these networks, for controlling the maximum allowable rate of rise of anode current (di/dt) and excessive anode – cathode voltage rise (dv/dt) of power switching devices as thyristors and Triacs, is usually achieved using conventional methods like Time Constant Method (TCM), resonance Method (RM), and Runge-Kutta Method (RKM). In this paper an alternative design methodology using Fuzzy Logic Method (FLM) is proposed for designing the snubber network to control the voltage and current changes. Results of FLM, with fewer rules requirements, show the close similarity with those of conventional design methods in such a network of a Triac drivin

Experimental Study on Double-Pass Solar Air Heater with and without using Phase Change Material
...Show More Authors

In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to enhance the thermal performance of a double-pass solar air heater (SAH) using phase change material (PCM) for thermal storage at climatic conditions of Baghdad city - Iraq. The double-pass solar air heater integrated with thermal storage system was manufactured and tested to ensure that the air heating reserved after the absence of the sun. The rectangular cavity filled with paraffin wax was used as a latent heat storage and incorporated into the lower channel of solar air heater. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the charging and discharging characteristics of two similar designed solar air collectors with and without using phase change material at a constant

Effect of Bifidobacterium Probiotic in the Treatment of Giardiasis Infection in Mice
...Show More Authors

Metronidazole therapy is recommended in the treatment of giardiasis,athough some clinical reports mention the resistance to this drug from many pathogens. Many studies were applied to show the effect of probiotic to prevent or to heal diseases of gastrointestine, but only few is known about probiotic activity against infections of protozoa. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of Bifidobacterium against infection with Giardia lamblia   in experimental mice. It was found that daily application of viable Bifidobacterium cells with a single dose (0.1ml∕mice∕day) significantly reduced the shedding of Giardia lamblia parasite cysts in feces, and infection completely disappeared at the da
