...Show More Authors

BACKGROUND: In 1972 complete description of the
inflammation of posterior third of the vocal cords was
done, with barium swallow confirming Gastro
Esophageal Disease [CRED] & subsequent successful
symptomatic treatment with antacid. The possible
association between GERD & chronic laryngitis was
initially known as acid laryngitis .2

OBJECTIVE: To record the common presentation
symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux LPR in
Kurdistan- Iraq. To study the significance of fibro optic
laryngoscope in diagnosis and improvement of
laryngopharyngeal reflux [LPR] and to evaluate the
effect of medical therapy on these nonspecific
symptoms and Laryngoscopic finding.
METHODS: A prospective study was conducted over
a two year period at Rizgary teaching hospital,
Kurdistan/lraq; on 132 patients who presented
primarily with Laryngopharyngeal symptoms .They
were evaluated using special questionnaire for
recording these symptoms: persistent chronic cough,
globus sensation, throat clearing, voice change,
regurgitation, heartburn, symptoms of peptic ulcer
disease, and any other non specific respiratory
symptom. These symptom and Laryngoscopic findings
pre and post anti-reflux therapy were recorded.
Esophagogastro - duodenoscopy findings were also
recorded but only on presentation.
RESULTS: A total of 132 patients were evaluated over
a two year period .Respiratory symptoms at
presentation were persistent irritative cough [92%],
itchy throat [85%], globus pharynges [83%], and
cricopharngeal spasm [57%]. Endoscope findings
revealed gastroduodenitis in 5%, non specific gastritis
in 9%, duodenal ulcer in 2%, and normal findings in
62.7%, while Laryngoscopic finding were mainly
posterior commissure injection 82%, vocal cord edema
74%, laryngeal erythema 77% and subglottic edema
24%. Patients were treated medically with antacids, H2
antagonists, proton pump inhibitors and were followed
up and reexamined by laryngoscope; all data about
improvement in symptom and in the laryngeal sign by
Laryngoscopic findings were collected following antireflux therapy and showed significant improvement in
both ,all were analyzed in special figures and tables.
CONCLUSION: Reflux laryngitis and LPR should be
a differential diagnosis in patient with pharyngeal and
laryngeal symptoms not associated with upper
respiratory disease in the presence or absence of GERD
or peptic ulcer symptom, dyspepsia, regurgitation. The
management should be multidisciplinary.
Laryngoscopic finding were of value in the diagnosis of
the changes in laryngeal mucosa pre and post medical
treatment by Proton Pump Inhibitors empirical therapy

New Correlation To Calculate Absolute Permeability From Gas Permeameter
...Show More Authors

In this study, two correlations are developed to calculate absolute rocks permeability from core samples tested by Gas Permeameter Apparatus. The first correlation can be applied if K g≤100, the second correlation can be applied if Kg>100. Sixty core samples having different permeabilities to give a wide range of values that necessary to achieve a correlation.

 

The developed correlation is easily applied and a quick method to avoid repeating the test at different pressure values. Only one pressure test is required to reach absolu

Ranking Function to Solve a Fuzzy Multiple Objective Function
...Show More Authors

In this paper two ranking functions are employed to treat the fuzzy multiple objective (FMO) programming model, then using two kinds of membership function, the first one is trapezoidal fuzzy (TF) ordinary membership function, the second one is trapezoidal fuzzy weighted membership function. When the objective function is fuzzy, then should transform and shrinkage the fuzzy model to traditional model, finally solving these models to know which one is better

Comparing Bayesian methods to estimate the failure probability for electronic systems in case the life time data are not available
...Show More Authors

In this research, we find the Bayesian formulas and the estimation of Bayesian expectation for product system of Atlas Company.  The units of the system have been examined by helping the technical staff at the company and by providing a real data the company which manufacturer the system.  This real data include the failed units for each drawn sample, which represents the total number of the manufacturer units by the company system.  We calculate the range for each estimator by using the Maximum Likelihood estimator.  We obtain that the expectation-Bayesian estimation is better than the Bayesian estimator of the different partially samples which were drawn from the product system after  it checked by the

...Show More Authors

The article considers the main reason for A. I. Herzen's address to obsolete words, which is their ability to acquire a stylistic coloring in the context of speech, as well as the possibility of combining, in some cases, with neutral lexemes of various functional styles. A certain stylistic effect of such characteristics of this type of vocabulary is represented, as a result of which their stylistic coloring in syntagmatic terms does not coincide with stylistic coloring in terms of paradigmatics, that is, in speech they have a completely stylistic meaning. Attention is focused on the role of outdated vocabulary, which consists in the fact that they serve to implement such features of the artistic style as imagery, emotionality, and their
