Background : Coronary artery disease is theunderlying cause in approximately two thirds of
patients with systolic heart failure ;
Coronary artery angiogriphy may be useful to
define the presence ,
Anatomical characteristics ,and functional
significance of Coronary artery disease in
selected heart failure patients with or without signs
and aymptoms of Coronary artery disease.
Objectives: to verify the clinical usefulness of
coronary angiography (CA) in congestive heart
failure (CHF) patients with no history of ischemic
heart disease and to identify predictive factors for
performing coronary angiography to patients with
congestive heart failure with no obvious ischemia.
Methods :this is a cross-sestional study conducted
Ibn al –Bitar center for cardiac surgery during a
period between November 2009 and November
2010 ;all included patients have symptomatic LV
dyfunctional with NYHA functional class II or
more with no clinical evidence of IHD .History,
physical examination had been performed for each
patient , in addition ti blood tests ,ECG ,CXR,
echocardiography and Coronary angiogriphy
Results :Among 112 patients with symptomatic
LV dysfunction of unknown cause enrolled in this
study male :female ratio 3:1 their age (17 -77 years
)there were 14 patients (12.5%)with significant
Coronary artery disease , statistical analysis
between CADand non CAD group show :the CAD
were more common in male 11 patients (78% )
smokers(1)Were female , 25 patients (22.3%) were
diabetic , 25 diabetic (22.3%) were hypertensive
,50 diabetic (44.6%) were smokers . 4 diabetic3.5) with family history of dilatedhyperlipidemia and 3 diabetic (2.6%) ) with
family history ischemic heart disease (IHD in
close relative at age <50 years in men and <55
years in women ) as demographic distribution of
patients in table 1 .coronary angiography show
that are 14 patients (12.5%) with significant
coronary artery disease (CAD) and 98 patients
(87.5%) with significant coronary artery disease
. as shown in figure 1 . eleven patients (78%) of
patients (22%) were female statistical analysis
shows that the male is more predominant in
CAD groups as shown in table 2 . twelve
patients (85.7%) of patients with CAD were
smokers while only 38 patients (38.7%) were
smokers in non CAD group . statistical analysis
shows there is significant difference between
the two groups ( p value < 0.01 ) as shown in
table 3 .nine patients (64.2%) of patients with
CAD were diabetics while 16 patients
(16.3%)were diabetics in non CAD group ,
statistical analysis shows there is significant
difference between the two groups (p value <
0.005) as shown in table (3) .there is no
statistical between the mean of left ventricular
ejection fraction of CAD group ( 37 ±10 %) and
that of non CAD (36±9 % ) , p value > 0.5 as
shown in table 6 . figure 2 revealed that LAD
lesion was most common coronary artery lesion
which represent 12 (85%) followed by in order
of frequency LCX 42 % ,RCA 28% and LMS
7% ; in addition to that 57% with single vessel
disease ,14.2% with 2 vessel disease and
28.4%with r vessel disease (2)Leads , ST
depression ≥1 mm or deep T wave inversion
had been excluded

Anaemia is a common extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) where anaemia of chronic disease (ACD) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are the two most frequent types. The distinction between these two types of anaemia has always been challenging requiring sophisticated techniques. Serum transferrin receptor (sTfR) a truncated soluble form of the transferrin receptor is one of the parameters that is influenced by the Iron content and supply to the erythrons and is not affected by inflammatory status and therefore the use of the sTfR/log ferritin (sTfR-F) index can be a reliable indicator of functional iron deficiency.

The present study was performed to evaluate the level of some risk factors (biochemical and immunological) in hypothyroid Iraqi patients considering the different thyroid functional states (hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism).The study includes 82 patients clinically diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Three study groups have been investigated: (47 clinical hypothyroid patients, 12 subclinical hypothyroid patients 23 healthy individuals) of different ages. This study, show that the proportion of females (83.3 %), (87.2%) in subclinical and clinical hypothyroidisim respectively higher than the proportion of males (16.7%),(12.8%) in subclinical and clinical hypothyrodism respectively of the total patients.The majority of subclinical hyp

The objective of this study is to evaluate the level of cytokines IL-1?, IL-10 and IL-17A in the serum of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD) and down syndrome (DS). The results showed that Serum level of IL-1? was significantly increased in AD patients (3.79 ± 0.26 pg/ml) as compared with DS patients (2.78 ± 0.39 pg/ml) or controls (2.78 ± 0.22 pg/ml), while no significant difference was observed between AD and VD (3.25 ± 0.20 pg/ml) patients or between VD patients, DS patients and controls. The serum level of IL-10 was approximated in VD and DS patients and controls (3.39 ± 0.24, 2.77 ± 0.39 and 3.41 ± 0.35 pg/ml, respectively), but was significantly (P ? 0.05) increased in AD patients (5.73 ± 0.55 pg/ml
