Study the Influence of Captopril on Bone Metabolism in Elderly Hypertensive Women
...Show More Authors

Widespread use of antihypertensive agents in clinical practice necessitates the knowledge of their pleiotropic effects. At the present time there are no sufficient evidences of positive effect of these medications on bone coming from randomized controlled trials; knowledge of additional effects of those drugs on the bone metabolism will allow doctors to choose optimal treatment of hypertension, taking into account the state of bone tissue. At the same time it will also allow to prevent osteoporosis in patients having osteoporosis risk factors or initial signs of bone loss.

Ten elderly hypertensive women age > 60 years old (64.2±3.6) treated with captopril for a 5-6 years ago while they attending Al Yarmouk Teaching Hospital in Baghdad; in addition, newly-diagnosed hypertensives, and normotensive of the aged-matched women were participated in this study that were conducted during the period (January- May 2014). Measurement of serum calcium, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, total alkaline phosphatase activity, and parathyroid hormone were done, in addition to spine mineral density and t-score of such bone density by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. The results of this study showed that there were no significant differences in the serum levels of calcium, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, total alkaline phosphatase activity, and parathyroid hormone in postmenopausal hypertensive women treated for 5-6 years with captopril compared to newly-diagnosed and to aged-matched normotensive women. In addition, non-significant differences were observed in the level of bone mineral density and t score of bone mineral density in all groups of the study. In conclusion, the present study provides additional knowledge concerning the influence of captopril treatment on some selected parameters of bone metabolism in elderly hypertensive women.

Keywords: Captopril, Bone metabolism, Elderly women, Hypertension, Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.

...Show More Authors

In this paper, the penetration of the stone column was investigated in order to get the minimum length of the stone column above which the increase in length has little advantage. The effect of using different materials in column are also studied. The material used is granular of different angle of internal friction (). The results of the investigation indicated that the effect of stone column remains constant when the ratio of the thickness of the soft clay layer to the stone column’s diameter is more than 15. The results also indicated that a pronounced effect is obtained when the angle of internal friction of the stone column material is increased.

Political Use of the Photograph: A Semiotic Study of the Photograph of Al-Kadhimi's Visit to Fallujah on the Anniversary of the Victory Over ISIS
...Show More Authors

The research aims to determine what a photograph intends to convey as a visual text. Photographs are not captured randomly, especially those of politicians. Each photograph carries a message, even if interpretations of that message vary from person to person. The research adopts a methodology based on semiotic analysis, applying Laurent Gervero's model to analyze a photograph of the Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi's visit to Fallujah on the anniversary of the victory over ISIS. The photographs in question constitute a visual language built upon a sequence of iconic symbols and signs. These elements coalesce to give rise to an image centered around a particular theme, one designed to convey a precise messag
