Background : Breast cancer is the most common cancer of
women. When breast cancer is detected and treated early,
the chances for survival are better. Surgery is the most
important treatment for non-metastatic breast cancer.
Al-Kindy Col Med J 2008 Vol.5(1) 40 Original Article
Objectives : The aim of this study is to review different
clinical presentation and to evaluate types of surgical
procedures and complications in treatment of nonmetastatic breast cancer.
Method : During the period from Jun 1998 to May 2005,
93 patients with non-metastatic breast cancer were
diagnosed and treated surgically in 2 hospitals in Baghdad (
Hammad Shihab military hospital and Al-Kindy teaching
hospital).
Results : Women constituted ( 98.93% ), while men
constituted (1.07%), with male to female ratio of (0.01:1).
The peak incidence of non-metastatic breast cancer (25.8%)
was at age group 51-60 years, while (60.2 % ) of cases
happened in women over 50 years of age. The right breast
was the most common side affected, and the upper outer
quadrant of the breast was the most common location
affected by cancer. Painless lump (91.4%) was the most
common symptom, and the hard lump was the most
common sign (100%).
The highest frequency of cases was diagnosed in stage II
followed by stage III, and invasive ductal cancer was the
most common histopathologic type.
(87.1 %) of patients underwent modified radical
mastectomy, while (12.9%) underwent breast-conservation
surgery. Breast-conservation surgery carried higher
incidence of recurrent disease than modified radical
mastectomy (33.3% vs.13.6%).
Conclusion : The majority of patients with non-metastatic
breast cancer were over 50 years of age, and the
preponderance were diagnosed in stage II. Modified radical
mastectomy may be preferable method for treatment as it
carries a lower rate of local or distant recurrence than
conventional breast-conservation surgery procedures
In this study, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to detect damage in curved beam model, stiffness as well as mass matrices of the curved beam elements is formulated using Hamilton's principle. Each node of the curved beam element possesses seven degrees of freedom including the warping degree of freedom. The curved beam element had been derived based on the Kang and Yoo’s thin-walled curved beam theory. The identification of damage is formulated as an optimization problem, binary and continuous genetic algorithms
(BGA, CGA) are used to detect and locate the damage using two objective functions (change in natural frequencies, Modal Assurance Criterion MAC). The results show the objective function based on change in natural frequency i
Solid dispersion (SD) is one of the most widely used methods to resolve issues accompanied by poorly soluble drugs. The present study was carried out to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of Aceclofenac (ACE), a BCS class II drug with pH-dependent solubility, by the SD method. Effervescent assisted fusion technique (EFSD) using different hydrophilic carriers (mannitol, urea, Soluplus®, poloxamer 188, and poloxamer 407) in the presence of an effervescent base (sodium bicarbonate and citric acid) in different drug: carrier: effervescent base ratio and the conventional fusion technique (FSD) were used to prepare ACE SD. Solubility, dissolution rate, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), PowderX-ray diffraction

Education in it s different levels becomes development in any country. There fore, nations pay great attention to educational systems, because they perceive that preparing human resources is essential to the development of these nations.
The present study deals with the a academic frames which formulate education in each educational system such as educational philosophy , educational aims , educational strategies by which the academic frames are carried out, which is limited to curriculum, teacher preparations, school activities, in addition to guidance and counseling.
This study reaches some conclusion which are derived from the description of the academic and practical frames some suggestion are made for the mechanism which facil
This Study aimed To know The relation between Types of blood and health problems which human Suffered from , and the effect of food intake on health.
Samples of study contained 269 person aged between 30 – 70 years which choiced randomly for sex , we are take all in formation about samples of study by form paper contian sex , age, type of blood , weight (kg) , height (cm) , smoking or.not , sporting or not, problems in digestive tract , sensitivity for foods , heart problems , ratio of cholesterol in blood , Sinusitis , Asthma , diabetic meliuts , arritable bowel syndrome , diaherra , problems in kidney and urination , hypertension , anemia , alternation in liver function , arthritis with form record in daily food intake and its ade
Kidney damage in workers within environments of highly expected exposure to toxin, including heavy metals, could be a primary marker to expect hazards in population exposed to low levels of many environmental pollutants. The present study was designed to evaluate the possible effect of environmental exposure to cadmium and zinc on renal function among painters in Sulaimani city. Cross sectional study was performed on 37 male painting workers in Sulaimani city. Each worker was interviewed using structured questionnaire. Twenty five non-exposed healthy subjects were included as control group. Venous blood samples (10 ml) were obtained by vein puncture from both subjects and utilized for estimation of serum urea, creatinine levels, serum le

The synthesis and properties of two new series of compounds having 1,3-Oxazepineand 1,3-thiazole rings connected through azo linkage are reported. These compounds weresynthesized by the reaction of phthalic anhydride with Schiff bases. The molecular structuresof these compounds were verified by elemental analysis, FTIR and 1HNMR spectroscopy.The mesomorphic behaviors of these compounds were studied by optical polarizedmicroscopy (OPM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All compounds of the twoseries show liquid crystalline properties. The influence of the central oxazepine and thiazolerings and the terminal substituents on the type and temperature range of the mesomorphousproperties of these compounds has been elucidated
