Background: The excess mortality associated with
rheumatoid arthritis is largely due to
cardiovascular disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is of
primary importance in atherogenesis. The intimamedia thickness of extracranial carotid arteries is a
measurable index of the presence of
atherosclerosis.
Objective: To assess carotid intima-media
thickness in rheumatoid arthritis by Doppler
ultrasound.
Methods: Fifty two Iraqi patients with rheumatoid
arthritis were studied and compared with another
fifty two, healthy individuals matched for age and
sex as a control group. Full history was taken and
complete clinical examination was done for all
individuals in both groups. Rheumatoid arthritis
diagnosis was

Bac kground: The transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon to the anterior aspect
of the ankle not only replaces the function of the paralyzed muscles, but also
removes the deforming force on the medial aspect of the foot.
Objec t i ves : In this study, we evaluated patients who underwent tibialis
posterior tendon transfer for the treatment of foot drop, and comparison through
interosseous membrane route versus anterior to lower tibia route of tibialis
posterior tendon transfer, with evaluation of the results according to carayon
criteria
Methods: Nine patients with foot drop secondary to different causes treated with
tibialis posterior tendon transfer from January 2011 to January 2012 were
followed up for a

Back ground: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary arteries remains one of the most challenging lesion subsets in interventional cardiology even with the development of medical devices and operator expertise. Successful revascularization results in improved in angina status ,increased exercise capacity and reduces the need for lat CABG surgery .
Objectives: This study sought to determine the overall procedural success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTOs and to examine the relation between variables such as; patients’ characteristics, risk factors, lesion characteristics and procedural success rate.
Methods: In this study ,clinical and coronary angiography data of (80) patients with CTO who underwent PCI

The study aims to predict Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) as a water quality indicator parameter at spatial and temporal distribution of the Tigris River, Iraq by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. This study was conducted on this river between Mosul and Amarah in Iraq on five positions stretching along the river for the period from 2001to 2011. In the ANNs model calibration, a computer program of multiple linear regressions is used to obtain a set of coefficient for a linear model. The input parameters of the ANNs model were the discharge of the Tigris River, the year, the month and the distance of the sampling stations from upstream of the river. The sensitivity analysis indicated that the distance and discharge

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has been associated with genetic variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene among women in different geographical locations. Due to inadequate detection methods, many cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. Vitamin D deficiency and the FokI gene polymorphism in the VDR gene are known to increase cancer risk. The current study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the VDR gene polymorphism (FokI) and epithelial ovarian cancer risk

Subjects and Methods: A prospective case-control study with 160 participants comprised 80 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and 80 controls without the disease. FokI genotyping was observed using

     The Noble Qur’an is the book of God, the Blessed and Exalted, in which is the teachings of God Almighty’s religion, which is Islam, in order for people to unite it and establish servitude to it. The individual and the society alike saw it appropriate to make my opinion alerting the seriousness of this matter, so the research was entitled (The Impact of Sins and Disobedience on the Individual and Society in the Holy Qur’an - Objective Study), knowing that we touched upon some of the effects, which we found it appropriate to mention in this research in the service of the good. Its details came in the Holy Qur’an without referring to others, noting their arrangement in the Holy Qur’an..

This research investigates the properties and behaviour of magnesium (Mg) and magnesium/carbon (Mg/C) plasmas generated using the electric explosion strips technique, a method noted for producing large quantities of nanomaterials and generating plasma in confined environments. Plasma was created by passing high current densities through a metal stripe immersed in distilled, deionized water, leading to rapid ionization. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) was employed to analyse the plasma properties, as it preserves the original state of the plasma and allows for detailed characterization based on emitted optical spectra. Key parameters, including electron temperature (T_e) and electron density (n_e), were determined

In this study, the charge density distribution was calculated using the folding model, which has been applied to study the roles upon the center of mass and Pauli pair association affecting the density relying on the efficient two-body interactions, as a formula for the two-body density applicable to limit nuclei may be derived in terms of the pair correlation function for ²⁰Ne and ²⁴Mg nuclei. The elastic electron scattering form factors F(q) and the root of the mean square charge radii were determined. The inelastic longitudinal electron scattering form factors associated with the isosceles transitioning T = 0 of the (  ) and ( ) for the ²⁰Ne and ²⁴Mg nuclei were determined. A wave function

 Background: Aspergillus spp. causes a wide range of diseases called Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) which is a fatal illness that affects a variety of immunocompromised people worldwide.

Objective: Using the lateral flow test for the detection of Galactomannan antigen in immunocompromised patients suspected to have IA.

Methods: This study was conducted on 72 patients, whose samples (serum, Bronchoalveolar lavage, Blood) were collected from the Hematology-Oncology Unit at Baghdad Teaching Hospital and Pediatric Welfare Hospital, and ICU in Ghazi AL-Hariri Surgical Specialties Hospital, Bone Marrow Transplantation Center in the period between

Jurisprudential rulings were not once restricted to anyone. Even if some prominent imams were famous in one science, this does not mean that some of them were not very knowledgeable and well versed in another science, but he did not know much about it, given his fame in the first science in which he emerged. It prevailed over him until he became known only through him, and there are a large number of these people, and among them is our imam, the great critic Yahya bin Ma’in, may God be pleased with him. Many people, and even scholars, know about him except that he is the only imam in jarh and ta’deel, and on his words and the words of his strike are relied upon. In terms of the authenticity and weakness of the hadith, he is in this f

 This paper deals with the determination of stresses and deflections of clamped circular diaphragm strengthened by one or two ring-shaped concentric ribs, under uniform static and dynamic pressures. The simulation has been achieved by using the well-known engineering software finite element package MSC/NASTRAN. 

 As a design study, the effect of using a clamped ring, and the effect of using a ring-shaped rib on both surfaces of diaphragm instead of one, has been discussed in this work. To show the effectiveness of this study, results of this work have been compared with  published data [1].

In  the  conclusion,  the  authors underline  the  validity of  the&n

This study investigates the surgical and thermal effects on oral soft tissues produced by CO2 laser emitting at 10.6 micrometers with three different fluences 490.79, 1226.99 and 1840.4 J/cm2. These effects are specifically; incision depth, incision width and the tissue damage width and depth. The results showed that increasing the fluence and /or the number of beam passes increase the average depths of ablation. Moreover, increasing the fluence and the number of beam passes increase the adjacent tissue damage in width and depth. Surgeons using CO2 laser should avoid multiple pulses of the laser beam over the same area, to avoid unintentional tissue damage.
