Objective: To identify barriers to healthcare access, to assess the health literacy levels of the foreign-born Arabic speaking population in Iowa, USA and to measure their prevalence of seeking preventive healthcare services. Methods: A cross-sectional study of native Arabic speaking adults involved a focus group and an anonymous paper-based survey. The focus group and the Andersen Model were used to develop the survey questionnaire. The survey participants were customers at Arabic grocery stores, worshippers at the city mosque and patients at free University Clinic. Chi-square test was used to measure the relationship between the characteristics of survey participants and preventive healthcare services. Thematic analysis was

The Arabic language has always been and still is the preoccupation of our scholars, both advanced and late, because of the amazing secrets that this language holds. What distinguished it from the rest of the languages ​​is that its owners speak with sounds that others are unable to pronounce, except by vigorous attempts, and these voices include za’, middle and extreme hamza, and ha’.

يتناول البحث دراسة الأصوات في العربية وتقسيماتها بناءً على طبيعة جريان الهواء وانحباسه في مجرى النطق هي الأصوات التي لا ينحبس فيها الهواء انحباساً تاماً في مخرجها، بل يضيق المخرج بشكل يسمح للهواء بالمرور والاستمرار في الجريان وإحداث صوت "احتكاكي" مسموع.أمثلة على الأصوات المستمرة (الرخوة)

لطالما كانت وما زالت اللغة العربية الشغل الشاغل لعلمائنا متقدمين ومتأخرين، لما تحمله هذه اللغة من أسرار عجيبة، فمما امتازت به من بقية اللغات أنَّ أصحابها ينطقون بأصواتٍ لا يتمكن غيرهم من النطق بها، إلا بمحاولات حثيثة، ومن هذه الأصوات الظاء والهمزة المتوسطة والمتطرفة والحاء. وذكر مكي بن ابي طالب أنَّ الاصمعي قد ذكر أن صوت الثاء غير موجود لا في الفارسية ولا في الرومية وليس عند السريانية ذال. أمَّا العين و

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most frequently observed malignancy in females worldwide. Today, tamoxifen (TAM) is considered as the highly effective therapy for treatment of breast tumors. Oxidative stress has implicated strongly in the pathophysiology of malignancies. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the levels of oxidants and antioxidants in patients with newly diagnosed and TAM-treated BC. Sixty newly diagnosed and 60 TAM-treated women with BC and 50 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Parameters including total oxidant capacity (TOC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and catalase (CAT) activity were determined before and after treatment with TAM. The serum levels of TOC and oxidative stress index (OSI) were

Nanomaterials, including nanoparticles such as iron oxide nanoparticles, have received great attention from researchers due to their unique properties and applications. There are several diverse methods, including chemical, physical, and green biological methods, to prepare iron oxide nanoparticles. The green method was chosen because it is safer, purer, and less toxic compared to other methods. Therefore, the green method is a promising and environmentally friendly method in the near future. The aqueous extract of Iraqi orange leaves was used to prepare nano iron oxide, it was examined structurally and spectrally by several techniques (X-ray diffraction- XRD, Fourier transform infrared - FT-IR, field emission scanning electron micr
