Bladder cancer (BC) is the predominant malignant neoplasm in the urinary system and ranks as the tenth most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide. Compared with females, males displayed a four-fold more common incidence of bladder cancer. It mainly affects men. Bladder cancer is the fourth most prevalent neoplasm in males. The most important protein that makes up high density lipoprotein (HDL), ApoA-I apolipoprotein A1 is essential in regulating the right amount of cholesterol. Multiple inquiries have demonstrated that APOA1 plays a pivotal role in the progression, infiltration, and spread of tumors. Objectives. The objective of this study was to measure the level of urine to serum apolipoprotein A1 in patients suffering from bladder cancer and investigate the impact of variations to this nanotechnology on the development of the cancer. Material and methods. The study collected 45 blood and urine samples from individuals diagnosed with bladder cancer at Ghazi Hariri Hospital for Specialized Surgery. The samples included both males and females of various ages (61.47±11.28 years). Additionally, 45 blood and urine samples were collected from individuals without the disease. The samples were analyzed using an ELISA method to measure the levels of apolipoprotein A1 in the serum and urine of both groups, and the data collection period spanned from January 2023 to June 2023. Result. The average levels of serum and urine apolipoprotein A1 in the patients' group (14.18±2.62ng/ml, 20.04±4.67ng/ml) were significantly higher than the average levels in the control group (8.21±1.35, 8.94±1.74), with p-values of <0.001 and ≤0.001, respectively. The blood concentration of apolipoprotein A1 showed a significant positive moderate connection with the concentration of apolipoprotein A1 in urine (r=0.45, p<0.001). Conclusion. The mean and SD of serum apolipoprotein A1 in the patients group were higher than control group and urine apolipoprotein A1 in the patients group were higher than control group can be utilized as biomarkers for detecting bladder cancer. However, urine apolipoprotein A1 is a superior biomarker compared to serum apolipoprotein A1 due to its association with several other diseases.
Objective The incidence of rhythm and conduction abnormalities during acute myocardial infarction may approaches 100%; most are seen during the pre-hospital and coronary care unit phases, leading to deleterious effect on morbidity and mortality, this study conducted to find important persistent dysrhythmia found during CCU admission of acute myocardial infarction patients.Method A retrospective observational study of 553 patients who were admitted to the Coronary Care Unit of Alkindy Teaching Hospital during Year 2011 with diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, Information and data extracted from case sheets and associated 12 leads daily ECGsResults only 25% of our patients had dysrhythmia on examining the present 12 leads ECGs , the

Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate effectiveness of educational program the nurses' knowledge towards early prediction of acquired weakness in the intensive care unit.
Methodology: A pre-experimental study design (comparison of two groups), which was achieved through the pre and post-test method for the study sample through the application of an educational program in the intensive care unit of Al-Zahra Teaching Hospital in Kut city, Wasit Governorate. The study was conducted for the period from 28th April 2022 to 15th August 2022 by selecting a purposive (non-probability) sample for this study. The study sample size was (52) nu

The study was conducted on a cohort of 95 RA Iraqi patients. Based on their treatment response, the cohort was divided into two groups: the responder (47 patients) and the nonresponder (48 patients), identified after at least three months of methotrexate (MTX) treatment. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) technique was employed to analyze the MTHFR variations, specifically at rs1801133 and rs1801131. Overall, rs1801131 followed both codominant and dominate models, in which in
Birds of prey (Raptors) are top predator avian species that many migrate annually through Mesopotamian marshes in southern Iraq toward their wintering grounds in Arabia and Africa, while others are breeding residents; however, information on their current status is scarce. From January 2016 to April 2019, a total of 20 field expeditions were conducted in the geographical zone of the Mesopotamian marshes, wetlands of international importance. The survey covered the Central Marshes, Al-Hammar and Hawizeh Marsh. One of the objectives of the field surveys is to list the raptors species that wintering and/or migrating through the Mesopotamian marshes and to understand their current spatial and temporal distribution. In the present study, a to
