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.

Assessing Tensile and Shear Properties of Recycled Sustainable Asphalt Pavement
...Show More Authors

Hot mix recycling of asphalt pavements is increasingly being used as one of the major rehabilitation methods by various highway agencies. Besides general savings in costs and energy expended, it also saves our natural resources and environment.  Recycling process presents a sustainable pavement by using the old materials that could be reclaimed from the pavement; these materials could be mixed with recycling agents to produce recycled mixtures. The important expected benefits of recycling process are the conservation of natural resources and reduction of environmental impact. The primary objectives of this work are evaluating the Tensile and Shear Properties of recycled asphalt concrete mixtures, In addition to the

Assessment of chemokines MIP-1α and MIP-1 βin Iraqi women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
...Show More Authors

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic disorder affecting females. The pathology of PCOS is complicated and associated to chronic low-grade inflammation, this includes a disruption in pro-inflammatory factor production, leukocytosis, and endothelial cell dysfunction, also associated with high level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and leukocyte count. In addition, PCOS is characterized by hormonal and immunological dysfunction. Inflammation of the ovary affects ovulation and induces or aggravates systemic inflammation. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1), a pro-inflammatory chemokine, is crucial in the recruitment of inflammatory and immunological cells to the place of inflammation

Human Dignity and the Problem of Women Cutting Off Prayer: Women Cutting Off Prayer
...Show More Authors

Our creator has honored human beings and granted them a noble place, the provisions of the Islamic system are designed to strengthen and consolidate this dignity and respect. Since women are human beings, they have their respect, status and dignity. There are some prophetic sayings concerning women that may be understood as contrary to this value, the value of dignity and respect for human beings. One example is the Hadith of a woman cutting off a man’s prayer if she passed in front of his prayer. The study examines this topic and presents answers for it.

Implementation of new Secure Mechanism for Data Deduplication in Hybrid Cloud
...Show More Authors

Cloud computing provides huge amount of area for storage of the data, but with an increase of number of users and size of their data, cloud storage environment faces earnest problem such as saving storage space, managing this large data, security and privacy of data. To save space in cloud storage one of the important methods is data deduplication, it is one of the compression technique that allows only one copy of the data to be saved and eliminate the extra copies. To offer security and privacy of the sensitive data while supporting the deduplication, In this work attacks that exploit the hybrid cloud deduplication have been identified, allowing an attacker to gain access to the files of other users based on very small hash signatures of

Proposed model for data protection in information systems of government institutions
...Show More Authors

Information systems and data exchange between government institutions are growing rapidly around the world, and with it, the threats to information within government departments are growing. In recent years, research into the development and construction of secure information systems in government institutions seems to be very effective. Based on information system principles, this study proposes a model for providing and evaluating security for all of the departments of government institutions. The requirements of any information system begin with the organization's surroundings and objectives. Most prior techniques did not take into account the organizational component on which the information system runs, despite the relevance of
