Type 2 daibetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global concern boosted by both population growth and ageing, the majority of affected people are aged between (40- 59 year). The objective of this research was to estimate the impact of age and gender on glycaemic control parameters: Fasting blood glucose (FBC), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin, insulin resistance (IR) and insulin sensitivity (IS), renal function parameters: urea, creatinine and oxidative stress parameters: total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Eighty-one random samples of T2DM patients (35 men and 46 women) were included in this study, their average age was 52.75±9.63 year. Current study found that FBG, HbA1C and IR were highly significant (P<0.01) increased by increasing age. The lowest level of FBG was in the age group 30-39 years, which was a high significant (P<0.01) lower than other age groups 40-49, 50-59 and ³ 60 years. The highest level of HbA1C was in advanced age group ³ 60years, which was significantly (P<0.01) highest than other groups 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years. The highest level of IR was in the older age group ³ 60 years, which was significantly (P<0.01) highest than other age groups 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years. Insulin hormone level showed no significant (P>0.05) differences between age groups. Insulin sensitivity decreased in older age group ³ 60years compared with the other age groups with a highly significant differences. The results shows a highly significant (P<0.01) increasing in levels of urea and creatinine with increasing age. The lowest level of urea was found in 30- 39 and 40-49 year compared with other age groups, highest levels of creatinine were in 50-59 and ³ 60 age groups, which were significantly (P<0.01) highest than 30-39, 40-49 years age groups. In present study, the levels of TAC decreased by age. Third age group 50-59 showed the lowest level of TAC, which was significantly (P<0.05) lower than other age groups 30-39, 40-49 and ³ 60 years. Statistical analysis showed that the level of ROS was significantly (P<0.05) increased in advanced age groups 50- 59 and ³ 60years compared with other age groups 30-39 and 40-49 years. Statistical analysis revealed a significant (P<0.05) increased in levels of FBG in women compared with men, while insignificant differences (P>0.05) found in the HbA1c and insulin levels. A highly significant (P<0.01) increased in IR value was also found in women compared with men. Also, statistical analysis show that IS value was significantly decrease in women compared with men. The statistical analysis showed a nonsignificant differences for increasing levels of urea in women compared to men, while current finding showed a highly significant (P<0.01) increase in creatinine levels in men as compared with women. The present study showed insignificant increasing in the mean of TAC in men compared to women. While, the mean of ROS was significantly (P<0.05) increase in women compared to men.
Background: Morphology of the root canal system is divergent and unpredictable, and rather linked to clinical complications, which directly affect the treatment outcome. This objective necessitates continuous informative update of the effective clinical and laboratory methods for identifying this anatomy, and classification systems suitable for communication and interpretation in different situations. Data: Only electronic published papers were searched within this review. Sources: “PubMed” website was the only source used to search for data by using the following keywords "root", "canal", "morphology", "classification". Study selection: 153 most relevant papers to the topic were selected, especially the original articles and review pa

Show MoreThe aim of the current research is to identify the personal distance between members of society, as well as, to identify the feelings of satisfaction and positivity from respecting the permissible personal distance. The study also aims to identify the feelings of annoyance and comfort from approaching and going beyond personal distance and not respecting it. To achieve these goals, the researchers reviewed previous literature, theories, and studies that dealt with personal distance. The researchers reached a number of results; first, personal distance is not a law but rather a cultural guiding principle for social and professional morals. Second, there are four distances (intimate distance, the distance between friends, social distance,

The method estimator (GLS) is efficient because it takes into account the covariance structure of errors, but it is also very sensitive to outliers. The robust SUR estimator can dealing outliers. We propose two robust methods for calculating the estimator, which are (S-Estimations, and FastSUR). We find that it significantly improved the quality of SUR model estimates. In addition, the results gave the FastSUR method superiority over the S method in dealing with outliers contained in the data set, as it has lower (MSE and RMSE) and higher (R-Squared and R-Square Adjus

The incompetence of some of these instruments or limited capabilities or its costly method of performance sometimes forbids its use permanently in this great composition. It was necessary to have some problems facing the composer and the player on the one hand and the recipient on the other hand, who must be looking for perfection. Among those instruments that are used regularly in the works of the orche

... Show MoreLanguage is a vehicle for social values and ideologies that a man intends or attempts to express. Dramatic texts are one of the discursive practices that embody values and ideologies. What is expressed in dramatic text is deliberate because it is meant to affect other’s values, trends and ideologies in one way or another. Such ideologies and values are not explicit. To bring them out requires putting language under scrutiny to unveil what is implied. The present study attempts to analyze a dramatic script entitled Advice to Iraqi Women by the British playwright Martin Crimp in an attempt to unveil the intended political ideologies underlying the text. The title reflects a political aspect embedded in the word “Iraqi” that

Show MoreIn the present work, leaching process studiedusing organic acids (acetic acid and lactic acid) to extract phosphate from the Iraqi Akashat phosphate ore by separation of calcareous materials (mainly calcite). This approach characterized by energy conservation, environmental enhancement by recovery of calcite as calcium sulfate (gypsum), keeping the physical and chemical properties of apatite. Samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectrophotometer. From the obtained experimental data it was found that using the two organic acids yields closed purity values of the produced apatite at the optimum conditions, while at different acid concentrations, it was found that the efficiency of acetic acid is higher at the low acid co
