Since high prolactin levels worsen Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) symptoms, they have been the focus recently. The current study aims to shed light on hyperprolactinemia and the role of inflammation and biochemical disturbances in increasing the severity of PCOS. The study involved 90 participants: 68 women with PCOS, aged between 20-45, and 22 apparently healthy women with age match to patients. Blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis, utilizing ElectroChemiLuminescence, ELISA, and NycoCardTM techniques for precise measurement of prolactin, testosterone, estrogen, TSH, FSH, LH, anti-FSH, and CRP. Depending on the prolactin level, samples were categorized into 3 groups: hyperprolactinemia-PCOS (above 23.30 ng/ml), normal

Show MoreCeliac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals who consume gluten-containing grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye, triggering a gradual immune response that damages the small intestine and can also affect other organs. Accurate biochemical markers are essential for diagnosis, risk assessment, and the implementation of effective treatments to enhance clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate changes in blood levels of urea, creatinine, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride), trace elements (magnesium and zinc), and vitamin C in Iraqi individuals diagnosed with celiac disease. A total of 100 patients with celiac disease who were not following a gluten-free diet were compar

The synthesis involved combining N-(4-aminophenylsulfonyl) benzamide (also known as sulfabenzamide) with indoline-2,3-dione. To facilitate the reaction, three drops of glacial acetic acid were added. This process yielded the ligand N-(4-(2-oxoindoline-3-ylideneamino) phenylsulfonyl) benzamide, designated as (L).

The coupled nonlinear differential equations, which represent the motion of dust and fluid molecules, are formulated. These equations are solved by using the perturbation method with the help of the mathematics package; we obtained an approximate analytic solution. The impact of different kinds of parameters, like the Prandtl number, Renold number, wave number, second-grade parameter, Hartman number, wave length, permeability of the medium, and Darcy number, is discussed on the fluid velocity, fluid temperature, flow pattern, dust particle flow pattern, and

A single-term Galerkin approximation is employed to derive critical Rayleigh numbers and neutral stability curves. The findings reveal that the power-law index tends to destabilize the system, affecting the neutral stability curves, while buoyancy forces contribute to enhancing stability. The role of gravity variations is highlighted as a critical factor, with exponential-type fluctuations proving more effective at achieving stability compared to linear-type fluctuations. Overall, the study emphasizes that key parameters, including the power-law index, buoyancy f

Characterization results confirmed the successful integration of ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles onto g-C3N4 nanosheets, resulting in enhanced optical absorption in the visible light region. Both synthesized ZCN and TCN composites exhibited higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the antibiotic doxycycline under visible light irradiation compared to their individual component materials. This enhancement is attributed to the formation of heterojunction between TiO2 or ZnO and porous g-C3N4

In our model, we divided susceptible individuals into two separate groups: one for high-risk individuals and another for those at low risk. In this work, we have proved theorems about the non-negativity and boundedness of the solutions. Afterward, we obtained a disease-free equilibrium point and an endemic equilibrium point. We calculated the basic reproduction number using the next-generation matrix method and then we expressed theorems about the local and global stability of equilibria, finally, we have gone to the sensitivity analysis and numerical analysis.

A field experiment was conducted in the fields of the University of Baghdad to determine the effect of clover residues mixed with the soil in which the barley crop (Arviat variety) was planted. Residues of two varieties of clover (Red clover and Egyptian clover) were added at a rate of 3 and 6grams of plant residues. Two control treatments were also implemented with 3 and 6 grams of barley straw for comparison purposes. The results showed that the clover residues significantly reduced the germination and growth of the barley crop. However, this inhibition increased significantly when plant residues were added to the Egyptian clover variety at concentrations of 3 and 6grams, achieving inhibition in the germination of barley seeds.
