The present study aims to estimating the prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disorders in Iraqi infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Eighty-five Iraqi women, with age range (19-45) years, were divided into three groups; first group included 33 women with PCOS; second group included 30 women without PCOS; while third group included 22 fertile women as controls. The clinical data [age, body mass index (BMI), and menstrual status] have been recorded. Blood samples were collected to determine the levels of reproductive hormones [estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)]; and thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin (T4)]. Also, autoimmune thyroid antibodies assessment has been carried out to determine the titrations of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (Anti-TPO Ab) and anti-thyroglobulin antibody (Anti-TG Ab).The findings revealed that thepercentage of obese was significantly (P<0.01) higher in the women with PCOS and without PCOS (66.67% and 53.34%, respectively) compared with the control women (9.10%). Also, more of the infertile women with PCOS and without PCOS (51.51% and 46.67%, respectively) had oligomenorrhea. The results of hormonal analyses revealed that non-significant (P>0.05) differences were found in levels of E2 and FSH among the different groups. A significant (P<0.05) increase was recorded in level of LH among PCOS group compared with control and without PCOS groups. Also, LH/FSH ratio was increased significantly (P<0.05) in PCOS group compared with control and without PCOS groups. On the other hand, the results of thyroid hormones showed non-significant (P>0.05) differences for T3 and T4 levels among the studied groups. Autoimmune thyroid antibodies assessment showed a significant (P<0.05) increased in the Anti TPO Ab titration among the infertile women with and without PCOS compared with the control; while there was a non-significant (P>0.05) difference between infertile women with PCOS and without PCOS. A significant (P<0.05) increased in the Anti TG Ab titration was found among infertile women with and without PCOS compared with the control group; also, a significant (P<0.05) increased was found in the infertile women without PCOS compared to with PCOS. Correlation between autoimmune thyroid antibodies and the studied hormones in women with and without PCOS revealed only a significant (P<0.01) positive correlation between Anti-TPO Ab titration and LH level (r=0.26); while a non-significant correlation has been found between Anti-TG Ab titration and the studied hormones.
Background: Sex variations in coronary artery disease (CAD) are well documented. However, sex differences in coronary artery calcium (CAC) and its role in the detection of coronary artery stenosis remain controversial. Objective: To assess the impact of sex variation on coronary artery calcification and its efficacy in predicting coronary artery stenosis. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study including 230 consecutive patients with suspected CAD (120 men and 110 women) referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The study analyzed sex-based differences in the sensitivity and specificity of coronary artery calcification (CAC) for detecting moderate to severe stenosis across various coronary arteries

The Moslem women between west and Islam ,This study deals with Muslim women
from the west Pont of view in the oriental studies or the western media and how it was
exposed to ill-treatment or evil-eyed by the west due to misunderstanding or it was done on
purpose that they didn’t comprehend how the women deals with Islam ,so this western view
assured that Islam had disparaged the women's position and hindered her freedom, aiming at
stabbing Islam and dislocate the Islamic tissue which is formed from man and women.
This study has established with evidences the distance of this western view from reality
Islam in fact raised and lifted women's position while the western women was living on
the margin of life, robbed
The study aims to determine the organizational monitoring mechanism in target organization as well as knowing the suffocation of work. The study depends on a questionnaire as a tool of collecting data on distributed random sample involved (45) person from different levels in manufacturing isphelt Dohuk. The study depends on some hypothesis, the most significant one is that there is not impact of organizational monitoring of suffocation especially on the target organization.
The problem of the study and its significance:
Due to the increasing pressures of life continually, and constant quest behind materialism necessary and frustrations that confront us daily in general, the greater the emergence of a number of cases of disease organic roots psychological causing them because of severity of a lack of response to conventional treatments (drugs), and this is creating in patients a number of emotional disorders resulting from concern the risk of disease
That is interested psychologists and doctors searchin

A comparative study was carried out on ecological and genetical adaptation of three Iraqi
freshwater snails, Physa acuta, Melanopsis buccinoidea and Melanoides tuberculata, in
respect to acute toxicity of heavy metals (Zn, Cd and Hg). Longevity are used as poisoning
tolerance criterion. LT 50 and LT 100 were determined for the studied snails at (0.5, 1, 5, and
10 ppm), for the three metals. Results indicated that Physa acuta had a higher tolerance than
Melanopsis buccinoidea and Melanoides tuberculata, which was the lower one. Previous
exposure to heavy metals in the original habitat was affecting on experimental tolerance and
no relationships of physical and chemical factors (total hardness, temperature, D. O. and
