Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells characterized by the increased and unregulated growth of predominantly myeloid cells in the bone marrow. This study aimed to determine the effect of chronic myeloid leukemia on Dental caries and Oral health status including Gingivitis, Loss of attachment, Plaque index and Calculus index as well as evaluation of salivary flow rate and salivary interleukins-6 and tumor necrosis factor-?. Material and methods: Study group consisted of (75) subjects, (25) were newly diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, (25) were taking medications (Glevic), and (25) were control subjects, all aged 45-55 years old. Collection of stimulated salivary samples was performed under standard conditions, then salivary flow rate and salivary cytokines estimation was done. Clinical examination and oral health assessment were carried out under the standardized conditions of oral health surveys of World Health organization. dental plaque was scored according to the criteria of plaque Index by Silness and Loe(1964), Dental calculus was scored following the criteria of calculus component of the periodontal Index (Ramfjord, 1959), assessment of gingival health done according to the criteria of gingival Index for Loe and Silness (1963) and loss of attachment done following the criteria of WHO (1997). Caries assessment was done according to the WHO modified Decayed-Missing-Filled Index (DMF) and examination was done with a plane mouth mirror and CPI probe. Results: DMFS index were higher in the newly diagnosed group followed by the control group and then the treated group but the LSD test showed that differences were statistically not significant between each two groups, Plaque index was higher in the newly diagnosed group, and the differences were statistically significant only between the newly and the control group (p<0.05), Calculus index was higher in the newly diagnosed group and the difference was statistically significant between the newly diagnosed group and the treated group. Gingival index was higher in the control group and the difference was statistically highly significant between the new and control groups (p<0.01) and also highly significant between control group and the treated group. Loss of attachment index was higher in the control group the LSD test show that the difference was statistically significant between the control group and each one of the other two groups. In regard to saliva, salivary flow rate was higher in the control group; the difference was significant between the control and the newly diagnosed group and highly significant between control and the treated group. Interleukin-6 level was higher in the newly diagnosed group then the treated group then the control group. LSD test show that the difference was statistically significant between the new and the treated group (p<0.05) and it was highly significant between the new and the control group (p<0.01) but it was not significant between the treated and control group. TNF-? level was higher in newly diagnosed group followed by the treated group then the control group and the difference was statistically significant with the treated group and highly significant with the control group, but the difference was not significant between the treated and the control group. Conclusion: Salivary Interluekine-6 and Tumor necrosis factor- ? levels were higher in the newly diagnosed group. Saliva provides an ideal tool for the detection of pro-inflammatory markers. Salivary IL-6and TNF-? may play an important role as biomarkers for CMLand IL-6 is more predictable for the response to the treatment than TNF-?.

In recent years, the positioning applications of Internet-of-Things (IoT) based systems have grown increasingly popular, and are found to be useful in tracking the daily activities of children, the elderly and vehicle tracking. It can be argued that the data obtained from GPS based systems may contain error, hence taking these factors into account, the proposed method for this study is based on the application of IoT-based positioning and the replacement of using IoT instead of GPS. This cannot, however, be a reason for not using the GPS, and in order to enhance the reliability, a parallel combination of the modern system and traditional methods simultaneously can be applied. Although GPS signals can only be accessed in open spaces, GP

This work investigates generating of pure phase Faujasite-type zeolite Y at the ranges chosen for this study via a static aging step in the absence of seeds synthesis. Nano-sized crystals may result when LUDOX AS-40 is used as a silica source for gel composition of range 6 and the crystallization step may be conducted for a period of 4 to 19 hr at 100 ⁰C. Moreover, large-crystals with high crystallinity pure phase Y zeolite can be obtained at hereinabove conditions but when hydrous sodium metasilicate is used as a silica source. The other selected ranges also offer pure phase Y zeolite at the same controlled conditions.

We studied the effect of certain environmental conditions for removing heavy metal elements from contaminated aqueous solutions (Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr) using the bacterium Bacillus subtilis to appoint the optimal conditions for removal ,The best optimum temperature range for two isolate was 30-35○C while the hydrogen number for the maximum mineral removal range was 6-7. The best primary mineral removal was 100 mg/L, while the maximum removal for all minerals was obtained after 6 hrs of Cu element time and the maximum removal efficiency was obtained after 24 hrs of Cu element. The results have proved that the best aeration for maximum removal was obtained at rotation speed of 150 rpm/minute. Inoculums of 5ml/100ml which contained 1

The research problem of this dissertation is concerned with choosing the suitable method that includes the nature of the processes of the multi assembly type of the sewing line at factory no. (7). The State Company for Leather Manufacturing. The sewing line currently suffers from idle times at work stations which resulted in low production levels that do not meet the production plans. The authors have devised a flexible simulation model which uses the uniform distribution to generate task time for each shoe type produced by the factory. The simulation of the multi assembly line was based on assigni

Modern French novel has gained a distinctive status in the history of French literature during the first half of the twentieth century. This is due to many factors including the new literary descriptive objective style adopted by novelists like Alain Robbe – Grillet that has long been regarded as the outstanding writer of the nouveau roman, as well as its major spokesman, a representative writer and a leading theoretician of the new novel that has broken the classical rules of the one hero and evolved, through questioning the relationship of man and the world and reevaluating the limits of contemporary fiction , into creating a new form of narrative.
