Bacteriological and enzymatical study on rheumatoid arthritis patients
...Show More Authors

The current study included the collection of 175 samples (blood-urea) of patients suffering from rheumatism, collected from Baghdad Teaching Hospital (Educational Laboratory), Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital, Al-Imamian Al-Kadhimya in Medical City in Baghdad at different duration between 2016/10/1-2017/2/1. The bacterial growth results showed that 80% of urea samples positive for bacterial culture, while the rate of samples did not show any bacterial grow this 20%. The isolation subjugates to morphological, microscopically and biochemical tests, as also diagnosis by Api system. The most frequent bacterial pathogenic is E. coli which appeared highly rate (41.97)% followed by E. cloacae (21.25)%, P. aeruginosa (12.5)%, Salmonella (10)% and the proportion of K. pneumonia (7.5)%, while S. marcescens showed (6.25)%. When the measurement of the concentration of liver enzymes Glutamic Oxalate Transaminase (GOT), Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT), Alkaline phosphates’(ALP), the results showed a significant degreaseP≤ 0.05 in the level of enzyme GPT in patients serum which reachto16. 94±0.84 mg/ml, while its level in the healthy serum was 0.68±6.78 mg/ml. ALP enzyme results showed non-significant high atP≤ 0.05 in the level of patients serum with rheumatoid arthritis, as it reached the level in the serum 2.46±134.42 mg/ml, while the level in the healthy serum was 0.50±4.11 mg/ml. The enzyme GOT showed on-significant high at P≤ 0.05 in the level of patients serum as it reached the level in the serum 0.88±21.51 mg/ml, while the level in the healthy serum was 0.50±4.11 mg/ml.

Somatosensory Evoked Potentials Study in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is considered the most serious consequence of cervical spondylosis and accounts for the majority of non_traumatic paraparesis and/or quadriparesis. The electrical property of the spinal cord and its susceptibility to injuries renders electrophysiology relevant to the management of CSM. Somatosensory evoked potentials study (SEPs) is an objective assessment of the functional integrity of the neural pathway.
Objective: Utilizing both of the median and the posterior tibial SEPs in evaluating the functional integrity of the cervical spinal cord in patients with CSM and to correlate the SEPs findings with the clinical and MRI findings.
Patients and methods: Twenty two patients with CSM (

Effect of pharmacist interventions on pulmonary function parameters of Iraqi asthmatic patients: A comparative study: Effect of pharmacist interventions on pulmonary functions tests
...Show More Authors

Background: Despite the fact that asthma is a long-term disease that may be treated, many people are unable to control their symptoms due to a lack of knowledge about their condition. The study's purpose was to find out if a pharmacist intervention improved asthma management because of this.

Objective: this study designed to assess the effect of pharmaceutical care on pulmonary functions test.

Method: The study was completed in three months. The patients who were enrolled were divided into two groups: Group 1 consists of 23 asthma patients who were randomly assigned to receive conventional therapy for chronic bronchial asthma based on disease stage and se

Comparison study of Interleukin-1 alpha between Unstable Angina and Acute Myocardial Infarction patients
...Show More Authors

Multiple studies support a role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis and unstable cardiac syndromes. However, of the known pro-inflammatory cytokines, only elevated plasma levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) have been linked to Unstable Angina. We sought to examine the plasma levels of other major proinflammatory cytokines in similar clinical settings patients with unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction and the relationship extent between them. This study aimed to investigate and compare the level of IL-1 in Unstable Angina and Acute Myocardial Infarction patients. Thirty patients with unstable angina and thirty patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction, also thirty healthy individual as control were included

Comparison Study between Adipsin Levels in Sera of Iraqi Patients with Diabetes and Neuropathy
...Show More Authors

The current study was designed to compare some of the vital markers in the sera of diabetic and neuropathy patients via estimating Adipsin, Fasting blood Glucose(FBG), Glycated(HbA1c) hemoglobin, Homeostasis Model Assessment Index (Homa IR ), Cholesterol, High density lipoprotein (HDL), Triglycerides (T.G), Low-density, and lipoprotein (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), in sera of Iraqi patients with diabetes and neuropathy. A total  of ninety  subjects  were divided into three groups: group I (30 diabetic with neuropathy males) and group II (30 diabetic males without neuropathy), and 30 healthy sujects were employed as control group. The results showed a significant decline in Adipsin levels (p>0.05) in neuropathy, T2DM g

The present study was aimed to find out the role of humoral immunity in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Complements C3, C4 and immunoglobulin IgE .The study included 55 Iraqi patients with psoriasis 30 (15 females ,15 males) were untreated with any drugs. The other patient group consisted of 25 (9 female and 16 male) treated with a biological treatment (infliximab) ,and 30 (13 males ,12 females) healthy control group. Blood sample were withdrawn (5) ml of venous blood for both patients and members of the control ,to conduct the Immunological tests to determine the quantitative for each of total IgE by using (ELISA) and C3,C4 by Single Radial Immunodiffuse (SIRD).

Background: Hyperuricemia represents a major public health problem; approximately most population has hyperuricemia, serum uric acid ≥6.5 mg/dL in women and ≥7.0 mg/dL in men.
Allopurinol has been approved for the treatment of hyperuricemia patients. Epidemiological and experimental studies suggest a linkage between hyperuricemia and type of treatment.
Objective: To assess the effect of allopurinol and uralyt- 4 and mixture of two drugs (allopurinol and uralyt-4) in hyperuricemia patients
Methods: A total of 60 serum patients with history of hyperuricemia, obtained from Baladrus Hospital in Diyala governorate, were included in this study. In addition, ten normal uric acid level persons used as contro

QTc Prolongation in Patients on Antipsychotic Drugs
...Show More Authors

Background: There is a recognized association between prolongation of the heart rate corrected QT interval (QTc) and antipsychotic drugs. QTc prolongation may increase the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, especially torsade de pointes, and therefore, sudden cardiac death.

Objective: This study assess the effect of antipsychotics and prolongation of the heart rate corrected QT interval (QTC), and QTC prolongation may increase the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, especially torsade de pointes and sudden cardiac death.

Results: Abnormal QTc was defined as an interval of more than 440 ms (0.44 second) and was present in 21.7% (43 patients of 198). Benzhexol (-0.333
