Background: Information concerning the maximum bite force in human population is important to clinical orthodontics. Additionally, the influence of bite force on the vertical stability of any treatment result is important. The new position of the dentition should be compatible with the dynamics of the muscular and occlusal forces in all planes. This study was conducted to 1) to measure and compare maximum bite force, body height and weight among normal occlusion and malocclusion groups (cl I,cl II,cl III) in both gender 2) to evaluate the correlation between bite force and craniofacial morphology, body height and weight. Materials and Methods: The sample consists of 100 Iraqi adult subjects aged 18-25 years. It was classified in to four groups: cl I normal occlusion, cl I malocclusion, cl II malocclusion, and cl III malocclusion according to(skeletal) the value of ANB angle and (dental)the Angle classification. Each group consist of 25 (13 male, 12 female), Maximum bite force was measured by a digital device (GM10, Naganokeiki, Japan) by putting the sensor part of occlusal force meter on first molar region, body height and weight were measured by using the Length and Weight Measuring Standard (Tanita, 2008) and craniofacial measurements were achieved by analysis of lateral cephalometric radiograph Results: The highest mean value of maximum bite force was found in normal occlusion followed by class II malocclusion and then class I malocclusion and the lowest value was found in class III malocclusion, class I skeletal relationship (cl I normal occlusion & cl I malocclusion group) had larger values of body weight when compared with skeletal class II& class III .Regarding the gender, mean values of maximum bite force and body height are higher in male than female in normal occlusion and malocclusion groups, There is a positive correlation between maximum bite force and body height and weight in normal occlusion and class I malocclusion ,there is a positive correlation between maximum bite force and palatal plane, Ramus plane, mandibular plane, posterior facial height, cranial base, dentoalveolar height, while there is a negative correlation with anterior facial height, Gonial angle, SN-Mp?,PP-MP&SN-PP? angles. Conclusion: The normal occlusion group had larger values of bite force than malocclusion group,the maximum bite force, body height is gender related, larger body build up was usually associated with larger bite force in class I skeletal relationship, Individuals with characteristics of larger maxilla ,larger mandible, larger cranial base ,short anterior facial height long posterior facial height, flat mandibular plane had the largest value of bite force.
Abstract:
Background: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), an adipokine that participate in a lipid metabolism or insulin resistance through a complex regulatory network. Recently, RBP4 was reported to be associated with many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) risk factors in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aims to study the correlation of serum RBP4 with some markers of glycemic control, dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity in T2DM Iraqi patients.
Subjects and Methods: one hundred fifty participants were enrolled in this coss-sectional study, 120 of participants were T2DM patients and 30 were apparently healthy individuals to serve as control gro

Background: The estimation of ferritin and related variables by complete serum iron profile, for Iraqi hashimoto’s patients to see the effect of thyroid hormone insufficiency, which may lead to deficiency of ferritin iron stores, this may be quite useful during the diagnosis and treatment of hashimoto’s patients. Patients and Method: The study was performed at National Center of Teaching laboratories of Medical city institute in Baghdad. Fifty newly diagnosed patients with hashimoto’s and forty apparently healthy controls. Diagnosis based on thyroid profile analysis including:Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Thyroxine (totalT4) and Triiodothyronine (total T3), estimation of antibodies against thyroperoxidase, iron profile including:
... Show MoreBecause the Coronavirus epidemic spread in Iraq, the COVID-19 epidemic of people quarantined due to infection is our application in this work. The numerical simulation methods used in this research are more suitable than other analytical and numerical methods because they solve random systems. Since the Covid-19 epidemic system has random variables coefficients, these methods are used. Suitable numerical simulation methods have been applied to solve the COVID-19 epidemic model in Iraq. The analytical results of the Variation iteration method (VIM) are executed to compare the results. One numerical method which is the Finite difference method (FD) has been used to solve the Coronavirus model and for comparison purposes. The numerical simulat

The innovative form of the perforated fin (with inclination angles) was considered. Present rectangular pin fins consist of elliptical perforations with two models and two cases. The signum function is used for modeling the opposite and the mutable approach of the heat transfer area. To find the general solution, the degenerate hypergeometric equation was used as a new derivative method and then solved by Kummer's series. Two validation methods (previous work and Ansys 16.0‐Steady State Thermal) are considered. The strong agreement of the validation results (0.3
