Background: Menstrual problems with all manifestations ranging from life-threatening bleeding to amen- orrhea are considered patterns of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), which is until now a popular reason for referral to the gynaecologic clinic and requires a special diagnostic tool. Objective: To assess the accuracy of hysteroscopy in diagnosing endometrial pathologies and to compare it with sonographic and histopathologic reports. Patients and Methods: A prospective study conducted in the Baghdad Teaching Hospital on 60 Iraqi females having varying complaints from abnormal uterine bleeding in pre- and post-menopausal women, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain with normal or abnormal ultrasound findings. Office hysteroscopy was done and an endometrial biopsy was obtained for histopathology for a period of 10 months between September 2020 and June 2021. Results: The current study showed that hysteroscopy was more accurate in diagnosing sensitivity of endo- metrial poly (100%), fibroids (83%), hyperplasia (84.2%), and cancer (50%) whereas ultrasounds were more accurate in diagnosing sensitivity to endometrial myoma (90%). Hysteroscopy and ultrasound showed low sensitivity in detecting endometrial cancer (50% and 34%, respectively). Conclusion: Although a transvaginal ultrasound was considered an integral part in the diagnosis of endo- metrial pathologies, it can be used for initial investigation, however, when suspecting endometrial pathol- ogy, hysteroscopy can be more advanced for evaluation, immediate treatment of endometrial masses, and obtaining targeted biopsies. Hysteroscopy showed high sensitivity in detecting endometrial polyps.
Mass transfer has been studied at rotating cylinder electrodes fabricated with spiral-wound woven-wire meshes using reduction of copper as a test reaction. The experimental data were correlated by an empirical expression between the Sherwood number and the Reynolds number, both regarding the hydraulic diameter as a characteristic length. It was found that the Sherwood number was dependent upon the Reynolds number to the power of 0.521. An enhancement factor was adopted to compare the efficiency of the new rotating cylinder electrode with previous three-dimensional rotating cylinder electrodes. The results showed that the new type has a mass-transfer enhancement factor 2.3 times higher than those obtained with smooth rotating cylinder electr

It is known to play an important role on the compute the eficiency of solar cell. Some parameters of electronic current such as the transition energy, driving force energy, barrier height coupling overlapping values are determined. Transition energy is a necessary parameter to calculate the electronic current in solar cell with using wide polarity solvents Acetic acid, 2-Methoxyethanol, 1-Butanol, Methyl alcohol, chloroform, N,N-Dimethylacetamide and Ethyl alcohol via the quantum donor-acceptor system. Here, we show the results of transition energy can be var
