It may be pronounced if there is a high risk for the mother or fetus. The importance of the placental growth factor (PlGF) in predicting preeclampsia has been established by earlier research. However, the study aims to evaluate the predictive accuracy of serum Placental growth factor in determining the severity of disease. The study involved 90 pregnant Iraqi women who developed preeclampsia after 24 weeks of gestation. Based on the magnitude of their hypertension biochemical parameters and, other symptoms, the women were categorized into two groups: 45 moderate cases and 4

Kisspeptin has emerged as a key player in the understanding of certain facets of infertility. However, research on the role of kisspeptin in fertility, particularly in assisted reproductive treatment, remains limited.
Objectives: To investigate the potential association between follicular fluid kisspeptin levels and various reproductive parameters, including the number and maturity of oocytes, fertilization rate, pregnancy detection, anti-Müllerian hormone levels, and the age of females.
Methods: Sixty infertile couples with an age range of 20 – 40 years participa
The mandibular first molar that has undergone endodontic treatment (ETMFM) may contain an additional canal that often goes unnoticed, known as the undetected second distal canal (USDC). While radiography is commonly used to identify the USDC in ETMFMs, its actual occurrence rate might differ when examined through histological methods. The prevalence of this canal was evaluated histologically through laboratory analysis and radiographically through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study included 24 ETMFM from a total of 372 extracted mandibular first molars (MFM) from 372 Iraqi patients, which were collected from several private dental clinics in Baghdad city during 2022–2023. The extra canals, accounting for 6.45% of

Therefore, in this paper, a new metaheuristic algorithm (BAT algorithm) is used to estimate the Stress strength reliability system for the generalized inverse Pareto distribution. Furthermore, some statistical properties for generalized inverse Pareto distribution are derived. In a
simulation study, the BAT algorithm and the classical Maximum Likelihood (MLE) method are compared using the Relative efficiency criterion. The results show that the BAT variant estimates the parameters more accurately than the MLE.

The unprecedented novelty total variation (NTV) model combines norm-based total variation (TV) and norm-based TV regularization. This paper uses the implicit finite difference method to solve the NTV model numerically. The statistical measurements are used to compare the results obtained using the NTV model with those obtained using other models, which show the superiority

Since the study focuses on a linguistic phenomenon, its data is a set of -ly adverbs and -ly adjectives used as examples to support the hypothesis. The importance of studying the syntactic behavior of -ly stems from the fact that thousands of English adjectives and adverbs are created by adding the suffix "-ly" to their roots
