Hypothyroidism is one of the most common thyroid diseases in adults. Hypothyroidism is a condition that results from a deficiency of thyroid hormone and can range from being asymptomatic to life-threatening. A decrease in thyroid hormone production in the thyroid gland, a shortage of pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone, or a hypothalamic Thyrotropin-releasing hormone deficiency can cause hypothyroidism. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone deficiency Periostin is classified as both an extracellular matrix protein and a matricellular protein that belongs to the fasciclin family. As a matricellular protein, Postn plays a crucial role in the growth and maintenance of tissues and organs. Due to the limited research on the effects of Postn on the

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a significant cause of infertility due to ovulation dysfunction in women of childbearing age. Although the pathogenesis of PCOS is still not clear, many studies have shown that many factors within the ovary promote infection. With this syndrome, the disruption of the natural monthly ovulation process causes an imbalance in the body's hormones, and the high level of insulin in the body and the blood sugar imbalance leads to the occurrence of hyperandrogenism, which is the main factor for the occurrence of pathogens, in addition to genetic factors, if any. This study aims to identify this disease and its most important causes, symptoms, and modern treatments to prevent and get rid of it. Polycystic ovari

New complexes were synthesized from a newly prepared Schiff base ligand (L₂) derived from malonic acid dihydrizde and 2- pyridine carboxaldehyde. The ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectra demonstrated all the needed peaks to prove the chemical structure of the synthesized ligand (L₂). Utilizing mass spectroscopy, the molecular ion peak was found at m/e 310, confirming the formula weight for L₂, which matches the estimated m+ value (310.12). Accordingly, its Mn (II) and Co (II) complexes were trainedusing glacial acetic acid as a catalyst. These compounds were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, C.H.N., chloride-containing, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, and atomic absorption. The chara

Depending on the needs and requirements of keeping up with the scientific procession, researchers tend to find new recurrence schemes or develop previous recurrence schemes that will help researchers reach the fixed point and solution of variational inequality. This article aims to provide novel approaches to finding a common fixed point of different types of important mappings and the set of zeros of maximal monotone operators. Also, we studied the weak and strong convergence of the proposed iterative method under some suitable conditions. To achieve this goal, we will introduce a new technical method of resolvent operators and metric projection using different types of function sequences, including sequence of maximal monotone operator

Diazotization reaction between 1-(2,4,6-trihydroxy-phenyl)-ethanone and diazonium salts produced the ligand 4-(3-Acetyl-2,4,6-trihydroxy-phenylazo)-N-(5-methyl-isoxazol-3-yl)-benzenesulfonamide, which in turn reacted with the metal ions (Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pd²⁺ and Pt⁴⁺) forming stable complexes with Octahedral geometry suggest of (Ni²⁺ and Pt⁴⁺), Zn²⁺ complex Tetrahedral and Pd²⁺ complex Square planer. The creation of such complexes was detected by employing spectroscopic means involving ultraviolet-visible, which proved the obtained geometries; FT-IR confirmed the formation of the azo group and the coordination with metal ions through it.

  The current study aimed to identify the histological structure of the lung in Iraqi weasels, Herpestes javanicus. The present study was conducted on 5 samples of weasel animals weighing between 288 and 564 g. The results of the study displayed that the trachea in Herpestes javanicus branches into two branches of the primary bronchi, which are similar in tissue structure to the trachea, and the results also showed that the primary bronchus branch out to be the secondary and tertiary intrapulmonary bronchus, as the cartilaginous rings turn into finger-shaped plates of hyaline cartilage and these cartilaginous plates disappear in the bronchioles, which in turn branch into the terminal bronchioles, which give a branch to

The set of all (n×n) non-singular matrices over the field F this set forms a group under the operation of matrix multiplication. This group is called the general linear group of dimension n over the field F, denoted by GL(n,F). The determinant of these matrices is a homomorphism from GL(n,F) into F* and the kernel of this homomorphism was the special linear group and denoted by SL(n,F). Thus SL(n,F) is the subgroup of GL(n,F) which contains all matrices of determinant one.

Mesoporous silica was developed to transport metoprolol tartrate (MPT). The data obtained from the kinetic experiments of adsorption of 15 ppm of MPT drug at 293 K was fitted in the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The results show that the adsorption process obeys the pseudo-first-order equation and the rate-controlling step, not just the intraparticle diffusion step. The MPT drug load onto mesoporous silica was 15.13 mg/g. The release profile shows that the MPT drug was about 55% released after 40 min when released in water, while in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) media, the release reached 90% after 60 min at body temperature (37°C). Three kinetic release versions, including first-order, K

This paper presents two important contributions to the field of numerical analysis for third-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). First, a new class of direct implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) processes, called RKTDIO, is introduced as solutions to third-order ODEs. Secondly, it develops the ERKTDIO method, which is an embedded pairwise diagonal implicit RK method. The study begins by introducing the theory of relevant-colored trees and B-series as fundamental concepts. By utilizing the order constraints, two RKTDIO methods are derived: a fifth-order method with three stages and a sixth-order method with four stages. In addition, an embedded method called ERKTDIO6(5) is derived, which has orders six and five. The derivation of the embed

The current study focuses on the surface modification of an air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) at atmospheric pressure on a polymer (epoxy). Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Hardness and Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the material. Plasma was used to expose the epoxy sample for (0, 10, 20, and 30 min). The AFM study shows an increase in the time of plasma treatment and an increase in the parameter of roughening, in which the surface of the material is roughened by the plasma treatment. This plasma-induced morphological modification of the epoxy surface will also contribute to enhancing the wettability. In the DSC test, the stability of the glass transition temper
