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

Three hundred and fifty five patients with hepatitis were investigated in this study all cases gave negative result with HBs Ag , IgM-anti HCV , IgM-anti HEV, IgM-anti HDV and anti-HIV tests . The frequency of IgM-anti HAV was 113 and the percentage was 32 % in all ages but when these patients divided into five groups dependent on ages. The highest percentage of IgM-anti HAV was (45%) in age <10 and the percentage declined with age increase till to 9% in age >41 year.
Background: The overproduction of thyroid hormones is known as hyperthyroidism. Increased susceptibility to caries and periodontal disease are two potential oral symptoms. The interleukin-6 (IL-6) was observed to significantly increased in the hyperthyroid group. According to multiple research, IL-6 dysregulation has been linked to a number of oral disorders, including periodontal diseases. The study aimed to evaluate periodontal health status in relation to IL6 among hyperthyroidism patients. Subjects and Methods: The sample was composed of 90 female patients aged 25-45 years attending endocrine disorder |
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death worldwide. Objective: To determine of coronary care unit nurses' knowledge regarding patient rehabilitation after myocardial infarction. Methodology: A cross- sectional study was designed in the Cardiac Care Unit of Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital and the Specialized Center for Cardiac Surgery and Catheterization for the period from (November 7, 2022) to (May 12, 2023). A non-probability (purposive) sample consisting of (75 nurses) working in the above-mentioned study site. To determination of coronary care unit Nurses' knowledge regarding patient rehabilitation after myocardial infarction, the researcher used a tool that consists of two parts: The first part:

Objective: to determine the prevalence of mitral valve prolapse(MVP)in patients with benign hypermobility syndrome (BJHS).
Type of the study: Cross –sectional study.
Methods: Ninety patients with BJHS were included in this study. Full cardiological assessment was done for all of them, which include clinical examination, electrocardiography and echocardiography. Cardiac assessment was done for another sixty age and sex matched (

The genetic predisposition was supported by the occurrence of Systemic lupus erythematosus in more than one member of a family as well as in identical twins.
Aim of the study: To determine the human leukocyte antigen typing class I (A and B) in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematousus disease.
Methods: Patients group consisted of 44 Iraqi Arab Muslims patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus disease who presented to Baghdad Medical City from January 2010 to January 2012 from Baghdad Province. The second control group consisted from 80 Iraqi Arab Muslims volunteers from hospital employees and t
Cholelithiasis is one of the commonest surgical problems and one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases throughout the world but its pathogenesis remains unclear. Many theories have been proposed forward to explain the mechanism of stone formation. It is not fully clear if symptomatic gallstone disease is associated with a specific pattern of some biochemical abnormalities, as lipid profile and fasting blood sugar in serum of patients.
This study was designed to estimate lipid profile and fasting blood sugar in the sera of patients with cholelithiasis in comparison with normal individuals (control).
In this study, 104(male=16, female=88) were symptomatic gallstone patients (aged 42.79± 12.18 years), and 38(male=6

Show MoreAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common diseases , so in this study the serum level of malondialdehyde and its relationship with metanephrine was investigated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients over one month of treatment. Some biochemical parameters (serum glucose , total serum protein , malondialdehyde ,vitamin C, and metanephrine) changed as well as white blood cell count and blood hemoglobinlevelswere analyzed in sixty patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia over one month of treatment compared to healthy control group.Statistically significant increases (p<0.01) in white blood cell (WBC) count, mean concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) (p< 0.05) and metanephrine (p< 0.001) were observed in
... Show MoreAbstract: Reflection optical fibre Humidity sensor is presented in this work, which is based on no core fibre prepared by splicing a segment of no core fibre (NCF) at different lengths 1-6 cm with fixed diameter 125 µm and a single mode fibre (SMF). The range of humidity inside the chamber is controlled from 30% to 90% RH at temperature ~ 30 °С. The experimental result shows that the resonant wavelength dip shift decreases linearly with an increment of RH% and the sensitivity of the sensor increased linearly with an increasing in the length of NCF. However, a high sensitivity 716.07pm/RH% is obtained at length 5cm with good stability and reputability. Furthermore, the sensor is shif
