The second group (T2) received 20 mg \kg.  The third group (T3) received 40 mg\kg orally for 30 days, and the 4^th group (control) received orally distal water. At the end of the experiment, we collected blood samples by cardiac puncture to measure blood sugar level, lipid profile, and kidney functi

 This article talks about a model of fractional differential equations to describe how COVID-19 is spread in the world in general and Iraq in particular. The model contains five fractional differential equations. Moreover, we have proven the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the model, found the equilibrium points of the model and checked its stability. Then we solved it using a fractional linear multi-step method. When we compare the results with the data documented by the World Health Organisation (WHO), we find that the total number of active cases in the world are equal to 584498294 on 3/8/2022, and it is similar to what was done with the system. The number of those who have recovered and died from the disease ha

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

The Candida albicans is a diploid polymorphic yeast that is found as part of the normal microbial flora in most healthy humans. It’s usually a harmless colonizer of mucosal surfaces; it can, however, cause disease in the case where the host suffers from a weakened immune system or is immunocompromised. The present investigation was carried out to detect and investigate the prevalence of some virulence factors, which include coagulase production, biofilm formation, and phospholipase distribution among Candida albicans isolated from different clinical samples, including oral cavity and respiratory tract, which were collected from May to August 2022 and numbered 280 of different ages and genders of Iraqi patients suspect

This study included the preparation and characterization of the new guanine derivative (N-((6-oxo-6,9-dihydro-1H-purin-2-yl)carbamothioyl)propionamide), with an exciting chemical structure. The guanine part is a bicyclic heterocyclic base that is connected to a carbamothioyl group by a propionamide linker. This nitrogenous base derivative is prepared in two steps: The first step involves the synthesis of propionyl isothiocyanate from the reaction of propionyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate in acetone. In contrast, the second step consists of the reaction of ammonium thiocyanate with guanine to obtain the ligand. The study also includes the preparation of new complexes of metal ions (Mn⁺², Co⁺², Ni⁺²,

These green synthesized inorganic nanoparticles have been frequently investigated as possible bactericidal agents. Our findings revealed that at sub-Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (Sub-MIC), Copper oxide nanoparticles and Vancomycin combinations showed remarkable biofilm inhibitory outcomes in wild-type strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus <

There is a desperate need for extended versions of the classical distributions. There have been attempts to find novel families of probability distributions that widen existing families and provide great flexibility in data modeling in a number of application areas, including lifetime analysis, finance, and insurance. In this paper, we introduce a new family of distributions based on [0,1] Truncated and propose a new extension for the exponential distribution. The new distribution is called Truncated Nadarajah-Haghighi Distribution, symbolized with {[0,1]TNHE}. This study aims to derive some statistical properties for the new distribution, such as the quantile function, the mixture representation for the probability density function, 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

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.

Content-based image retrieval has been keenly developed in numerous fields. This provides more active management and retrieval of images than the keyword-based method. So the content based image retrieval becomes one of the liveliest researches in the past few years. In a given set of objects, the retrieval of information suggests solutions to search for those in response to a particular description. The set of objects which can be considered are documents, images, videos, or sounds. This paper proposes a method to retrieve a multi-view face from a large face database according to color and texture attributes. Some of the features used for retrieval are color attributes such as the mean, the variance, and the color image's bitmap. In add
