Prolactin is a Novel Biochemical Marker in Sera of Iraqi Type-2 Diabetic Women With Metabolic Syndrome in Baghdad.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of clinical and biological abnormalities included risk of insulin resistance , disorders in glucose metabolism , abdominal obesity and abnormal lipid profile these features confer a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases . Anyway, the co-occurrence of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome potentiates the cardiovascular risk associated with each of the two conditions. The present study aimed to determine a relationship between prolactin level in type -2- diabetic Iraqi women and metabolic syndrome, as well to find a relationship between prolactin level and other studied biochemical markers. seventy menopausal diabetic women with metabolic syndrome with age in range (45-50) years were enrolled i

“Relationship between
Cathepsin K and Total oxidative state in diabetes mellitus Iraqi Women patients with
osteoporosis
Introduction and Aim: Diabetes mellitus patients almost always struggle with a metabolic condition known as chronic hyperglycemia. According to the World Health Organization, osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disorder that is characterized by decreasing bone mass and microstructural breakdown of bone tissue that increases susceptibility to fracture and increased risk of breaking a bone. Here, we aimed to compare the levels of CatK and total oxidative state in patients with diabetes and osteoporosis among the female Iraqi population and study the possible relationship between them. Materials and Methods: This study included 40 females with diabetes (Group G1), 40 with diabetes and osteoporosis (Group G2) and 40 normal healthy f

Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Status in β-Thalassemic Patients: Effect of Iron Overload
To study the effect of iron overload due to continuous blood transfusions on peroxidation products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and peroxynitrite, with evaluation of some antioxidants like, glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamine E, Ceruloplasmin, uric acid and albumin in thalassemia patients. Forty patients with thalassemia major, aged 5 to 15 years, were carried out in Abn-Alatheer Teaching Hospital in Mosul city, during the period from October 2007 to April 2008. They were on Chelation therapy with desferÂrioxamine. They were divided into two groups, the first one without iron overload (90,97±12.92), and the second one with iron overload (157.75±7.57). All the patien

Does the tertiary health care for Type 2 diabetic patients can help to Meet the recommended glycemic targets
Tertiary health care
Type 2diabetes mellitus
glycemic standards and targets
Objectives: To study the effect of providing tertiary (specialized) health care for type 2 diabetic patients to meet the WHO and ADA standards and glycemic targets.
Method: Six months, Jan. – Jun. 2010, cohort study was conducted on 600 adult diabetics who registered in the National Diabetes Center (NDC) / Al-Mustansiriya University, Baghdad – Iraq. They were followed for 3- 6 months; each time patients were examined physically and their blood pressure, height, weight and BMI were measured. Fasting blood samples were taken from all patients to test the FPG, HbA1c, T.Chol, TG, HDL and LDL.
Results: Patients’ age was 52.85±15.56 year and the male/female ratio was 1.01, the median duration of disease was 7 years and their BMI w

Evaluation of Adiponectin, Irisin, Vitamin D Levels and Their Relation in Iraqi
Patients with Non alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Adiponectin
irisin
non alcoholic fatty liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of chronic liver and defines by fat accumulation ≥5% in liver which can progresses to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NAFLD related to obesity as well as non obese individuals. Adiponectin is a cytokine secreted from adipose tissue involved NAFLD pathogenesis and liked with obesity. Irisin is a myokine, has a convenient effect against metabolic diseases such as obesity, disylipemia diabetes type 2 and reversed liver steatosis and may be related with NAFLD. Vitamin D is one of the fat soluble vitamins and more precisely as a pro-hormone through its metabolite (1,25(OH)2 cholecalciferol) the major steroid hormone. After the skin exposure to the light, vitamin D undergoes to

A Comparative Study of the Right and Left Carotid Arteries in Relation to Age for Patients With Diabetes and Hypertension
Introduction:
Introduction: Age
hypertension
and diabetes can cause significant alterations in arterial structure and function
including
changes in lumen diameter (LD)
intimal-medial thickness (IMT)
flow velocities
and arterial compliance. These are also considered
risk markers of atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease. A difference between right and left carotid artery blood flow and
IMT has been reported by some researchers
and a difference in the incidence of nonlacunar stroke has been reported between
the right and left brain hemispheres. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences between the right and
left common carotid arteries and internal carotid arteries in patients with hypertension and diabetes for 2 age groups.
Methods: We studied 250 patients with both diabetes and hypertension. Patients were divided into 2 age groups with the
old age group being 56 to 75 years and the young age group 35 to 55 years. The bilateral common carotid and internal carotid
arteries were evaluated with B-mode ultrasound and Doppler examinations. The LD and IMT were measured for both common
carotid arteries
and spectral waveform parameters and indices were recorded for both internal carotid arteries.
Results: The difference in LD between the left and right common carotid arteries for the old age group was 11.64% and for the
young age group was 6.42%
with significant P values of <.05 for both age groups. The difference in IMT between the left and
right common carotid arteries was 18.27% in the old age group compared with 15.38% in the young age group
with significant
P values of <.05. There was a difference in peak systolic velocity between the left and right internal carotid arteries of 4.85%
in the old age group which was not significant
compared with 14.28% in the young age group with a significant P value <.05
whereas the difference in end-diastolic velocity between the left and right internal carotid arteries was not significant for both
age groups. Differences between the right and left internal carotid arteries for resistive index
pulsatility index
and pressure
gradient were significant only in the young age group.
Conclusion: We found significant differences between the right and left common carotid and internal carotid arteries in
patients with diabetes and hypertension which were more prominent in the young age group. Values for common carotid IMT
and LD were significantly higher in the left common carotid artery versus the right common carotid artery in both age groups.
Differences between the 2 carotid sides may be attributed to anatomic variations in the common carotid artery origins which
lead to differences in stress between the 2 sides
Age, hypertension, and diabetes can cause significant alterations in arterial structure and function, including changes in lumen diameter (LD), intimal-medial thickness (IMT), flow velocities, and arterial compliance. These are also considered risk markers of atherosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease.

Evaluation of anti Epstien-Barr Virus antibodies in female patients with autoimmune hepatitis type-1
EBV autoimmune hepatitis
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection is associated with broad spectrum of clinical manifestationsdepending on the immune status of the host, To analyze their possible role in the complication ofautoimmune hepatitis, we investigated (30) female patients with autoimmune hepatitis type-1 of(10-40)years and 25 healthy female of same ages(control groups). Both groups were carried outto measure the levels of EBV-CA IgM, IgG Ab, EBV-EA IgM, IgG Ab, and EBV-NA IgM, IgGAb using indirect immunoflourescent assay (IFAT).The prevalence of EBV-CA IgM, IgG Ab were(10%,20%) and EBV-EA IgM, IgG Ab were (10% and20%) respectively, while the prevalence ofEBV-NA IgG Ab was( 3.33%) and there are no prevalence of EBV-NA IgM Ab.
