Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting women, at reproductive age. PCOS is a chronic hyperandrogenic state that has many significant short-term and long-term implications for patients such as oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, infertility, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, increased risk of endometrial cancer, and hirsutism. Objectives: To evaluate the obesity and glycemic criteria among women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Method: A case control designed study was carried out at the National Diabetes Center (NDC) / Al-Mustansiryia University; on 50 participants formed the PCOS group and 50 healthy control participants. Data collected about age, age at menarche and BMI. Also, blood samples examined for FPG and 2-h OGTT test carried out for all the participants. Moreover hormonal assessment for the LH, FSH and total testosterone were done for all participants. Results : PCOS group women age and age at menarche were 27.62 ± 5.74 and 12.0 ± 1.06 years; vs. the control group were 25.42 ± 4.94 and 11.64 ± 0.69 years respectively. All PCOS group were experienced signs and symptoms of ovarian dysfunction, and infertility while the control group did not experience any of such evidences. BMI showed significant difference between study groups (t-test (P < 0.05)); 98% of the PCOS group was obese vs. 58% of the control group. The waist/hip ratio showed insignificant difference (t-test (P > 0.05). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) showed insignificant difference between the study groups (t-test (P >0.05); about 18% of the PCOS group was prediabetic (Impaired Fasting Glucose, IFG) (100-125mg/dl) and 6% was diabetic (>126mg/dl) whereas the entire control group was normoglycemic. The OGTT showed significant difference between the study groups (ttest (P < 0.05)); about 22% of the PCOS group was prediabetic (Impaired Glucose Tolerance, IGT) (140- 199mg/dl) and 6% was diabetic (>200mg/dl) whereas the entire control group was normoglycemic. PCOS group showed highly significant elevation in the LH level vs. the control group by about four folds (t-test (P < 0.05)). Also, FSH showed similar elevation by about two folds among the PCOS group vs. the control group (t-test (P < 0.05)). Moreover the LH/FSH ratio was elevated by about two folds among the PCOS group vs. the control group (t-test (P < 0.05)). Total serum testosterone of the PCOS group showed significant raise vs. the control group (t-test (P < 0.05)). Whole the PCOS group had A total testosterone level >60 ng/dL and in contrary the entire control group didn't show any elevation >60ng/dl. Conclusion: obesity of android (central) type was frequent and prevalent among PCOS women. About 20-28% of PCOS women was prediabetic or diabetic due to insulin resistance and decreased insulin sensitivity. Hormonal assay of LH, FSH, LH/FSH ratio and total testosterone were all significantly elevated by two folds or more among the PCOS women. It is not essential that a woman who had polycystic ovaries by ultrasound to have PCOS

Albizia lebbeck biomass was used as an adsorbent material in the present study to remove methyl red dye from an aqueous solution. A central composite rotatable design model was used to predict the dye removal efficiency. The optimization was accomplished under a temperature and mixing control system (37?C) with different particle size of 300 and 600 ?m. Highest adsorption efficiencies were obtained at lower dye concentrations and lower weight of adsorbent. The adsorption time, more than 48 h, was found to have a negative effect on the removal efficiency due to secondary metabolites compounds. However, the adsorption time was found to have a positive effect at high dye concentrations and high adsorbent weight. The colour removal effi

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the apical microleakage around retrograde cavities prepared with ultrasonic technique and filled with (Biodentineâ„¢) Materials and methods: 40 extracted single rooted human permanent maxillary teeth with mature apices were selected. The roots were prepared chemo-mechanically using k-files with crown-down technique and then obturated with lateral condensation gutta-percha technique. Teeth were divided into four main groups according to the cavity preparation method either manual or ultrasonic technique: Group A (n=10): A class I retrograde cavity at root end was prepared with traditional handpeice equipped and placement of Biodentine with manual condensation. Group B (n=10):

Background: This in vitro study compares a novel calcium-phosphate etchant paste to conventional 37% phosphoric acid gel for bonding metal and ceramic brackets by evaluating the shear bond strength, remnant adhesive and enamel damage following water storage, acid challenge and fatigue loading. Material and Methods: Metal and ceramic brackets were bonded to 240 extracted human premolars using two enamel conditioning protocols: conventional 37% phosphoric acid (PA) gel (control), and an acidic calcium-phosphate (CaP) paste. The CaP paste was prepared from β-tricalcium phosphate and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate powders mixed with 37% phosphoric acid solution, and the resulting phase was confirmed using FTIR. The bonded premolars were exp
