The results showed that the higher the percentage of silver nanoparticles, up to 7%, t

     Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that causes pain in humans' joints during movement, especially in the elderly and many women. Since cartilage plays a major destructive role during OA incidence, its chemical components can serve as a sensitive biomarker for diagnosing the onset and severity of OA disease. Cartilage acidic protein 1 (CRTAC1) is a critical component of the cartilage's extracellular matrix. We have aimed to test the sensitivity of CRTAC1 to the prognosis of OA disease in pre-and post-menopausal women with OA disease. The results showed that the levels of CRTAC1 in the serum of pre-and postmenopausal women with OA disease were significantly higher than those in control groups of the same age. C-reactive

     Acromegaly is a condition that results from excessive growth hormone production by the anterior pituitary gland. Prolidase (PLD) is the only known human enzyme that can hydrolyze dipeptides with an amino acid at their C terminus. Reports indicate that PLD activity serves as a marker for oxidative stress in numerous disorders such as diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, chronic liver diseases, and osteoporosis. The current study aims to estimate the values of PLD, its correlation with the rest of the parameters, and ROC in acromegaly patients. A group of 61 patients with confirmed acromegaly were collected from the National Diabetic Center, Mustansyrriah University, and 60 control groups were analyzed in the same place for the paramete
