Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased prevalence of lipid abnormalities, contributing to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a routinely used marker for long-term glycemic control. In accordance with its function as an indicator for the mean blood glucose level, HbA1c predicts the risk for the development of diabetic complications in diabetic patients[2].Apart from classical risk factors like dyslipidemia, HbA1c has now been regarded as an independent risk factor for (CVD) in subjects with or without diabetes.Objective The aim of this study was to find out association between glycaemic control (HbA1c as a marker) and serum lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods This study was conducted in specialized center for Endocrinology and Diabetes (SCED) on 320 type 2 diabetic patient , from May 2009 TO November 2010The variables such as age, sex, family history, physical examination, fasting blood glucose, renal function test, thyroid function test, lipids profile panel test , HbA1c and body mass index (BMI) were analyzed .Dyslipidemia was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Programme (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines. Diabetes was defined according to American diabetes association criteriaWe excluded from this study other causes of dyslipidemia other than DM like uremia,over weight, hypothyroidism and others causes.We selected diabetic patient with ldeal body weight and normal renal function.Results In our study 114 (81%) females out of 132 and 147 (83%) males out of 178 were found tobe dyslipidemic.HbA1c demonstrated positive and significant correlations with total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL-C ratio, non-HDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratio.Patients with HbA1c value > 7.0% had significantly higher value of TC,Triglycerid (TG), LDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, non-HDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratio ascompared to the patients with HbA1c ≤ 7.0%. However, there was no significantdifference in value of HDL-C between two groups.Conclusion :HbA1c can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting dyslipidemia in type 2diabetic patients in addition to glycemic control.

Natural convection in an annular space provided with metal foam fins attached to the inner cylinder is studied numerically. The metal foam fins made of copper were inserted in different axial sections with three fins in each section. The temperature of the inner cylinder is kept constant while the annular outer surface is adiabatic. The thickness effect of the inner pipe wall was considered. Naiver Stokes equation with Boussinesq approximation is used for the fluid regime while Brinkman-Forchheimer Darcy model is used for metal foam. In addition, the local thermal non-equilibrium condition in the energy equation of the porous media is presumed. The effect of Rayleigh numb |
At present, the ability to promote national economy by adjusting to political, economic, and technological variables is one of the largest challenges faced by organization productivity. This challenge prompts changes in structure and line productivity, given that cash has not been invested. Thus, the management searches for investment opportunities that have achieved the optimum value of the annual increases in total output value of the production line workers in the laboratory. Therefore, the application of dynamic programming model is adopted in this study by addressing the division of investment expenditures to cope with market-dumping policy and to strive non-stop production at work.
A sensitive and accurate colorimetric method was developed for the determination of the Sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate, here and after will be named Sitagliptin, in its pure and pharmaceutical form. The suggested approach is based on boosting the sensitivity of the traditional spectrometric methods by derivatizing Sitagliptin into a colored product that absorbs the visible spectrum at 573 nm. The proposed method has effectively improved the sensitivity and the limit of detection for the analysis of Sitagliptin. A linear calibration curve was obtained over the concentration range of 0.1-10 μg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9983. The calculated recovery was within the range of 98.98–100.11%. While the limit of detection LOD and

Terrorism is a serious problem for many societies today. This research aims to identify the impact of terrorism and displacement crisis on human security, which was a shock to the Iraqi society in terms of its impact on the psychological, social and economic conditions of the individual, family, and society. The variety of methods of carrying out the terrorist operations that resulted from the phenomenon of human displacement witnessed by Iraq since the middle of 2014. This phenomenon has its demographic, political and social dimensions.
