Prevalence of coronary artery disease in patients with left bundle branch block and its association with risk factors hypertension and diabetes mellitus
...Show More Authors
Abstract<sec> <title>Background:

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a common finding in electrocardiography, there are many causes of LBBB.

Objectives:

The aim of this study is to discuss the true prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with LBBB and associated risk factors in the form of hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

Materials and Methods:

Patients with LBBB were admitted to the Iraqi heart center for cardiac disease in December 2017 to the end of April 2021; all patients underwent coronary angiography and they are classified into three groups: group 1: patients with proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) or mid-LAD and either left circumflex artery (LCX) or right coronary artery (RCA) with lesion consider significant if more than 70% stenosis of the artery, group 2: patients with either isolated LCX or RCA with lesion if more than 70% stenosis of the artery, group 3: patients with normal coronary artery.

Results:

The most important finding in this study is that the percentage of LAD artery lesions or two vessels disease was only 24.5%. Patients in group 1 showed a high prevalence of hypertension (77.6%), whereas in group 3, the prevalence of hypertension was 47.95%. In this study, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in group 1 was high (62.2%), whereas in group 3, it was 32%.

Conclusion:

High prevalence of men with LBBB than women, and the prevalence of LBBB increases with age. Patients who had hypertension and diabetes mellitus with LBBB most likely had an ischemic cause of LBBB, but patients with LBBB had low ejection fraction (EF) 369 out of 400 patients (90%) had low EF.

The formal investigation of the interior spaces of the residential bedrooms for children with autism is one of the basic tasks that should be known by the interior designer. Achieving an atmosphere compatible with his health condition, which contributes to generating a sense of spatial intimacy through the design dimension provided by the interior designer and his tireless endeavor to meet the needs of the child in an internal environment that achieves the functional dimension and spiritual approaches that enhance the child’s sense of spatial belonging and contribute to improving his mood and this positively reflects on his behavior and social integration. The current research has reached the most important design criteria that must be

Immunoglobulins assessment (IgE,G,A,M) in some Iraqi patients with acute and chronic urticaria
...Show More Authors

60 patients diagnosed as having urticaria were included in the study ; 30 patients were effected with acute urticaria and 30 patients were affected with chronic urticaria. In addition, 30 healthy adult volunteers were selected as control group .The patients and control groups sera were examined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) to detect total level IgE and radial immunodiffusion (RID) to detect levels of IgG , IgA and IgM . The total level of IgE in acute urticaria ( 1.45±0.13) IU/mL and chronic urticaria (2.12 ± 0.10) IU/mL patients were significantly higher than the control groups ( 0.85 ± 0.10)IU/mL (p<0.05). The level of IgG in acute urticaria ( 12.5± 0.42) g/L and chronic (13.16±0.40) g/L patients , IgA in acute (2.

CA72-4 as a Promising Prognostic and Diagnostic Biomarker in Iraqi Patients with Colorectal Cancer
...Show More Authors

Colorectal cancer (CRC), the second most fatal cancer and the 3rd most common cancer is expected to cause 0.9 million deaths globally in 2025. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is currently used in the follow-up of patients with colorectal cancer, and in this study, we are trying to find a better marker than CEA in following up on patients' health and knowing the effectiveness of the treatment used and as a diagnostic marker for colorectal cancer. To determine the significance of Cancer antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) as a prognosis predictor in patients with colorectal cancer, compare its prognostic validity to the CEA biomarker. this case-control study includes (150) participants, 100 patients (59 males and 41 females), and 50 healthy controls

Trace Elements Levels in Iraqi Immunocompetent Patients with Toxoplasmosis
...Show More Authors

Toxoplasmosis is a widespread infection usually caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite. It occurs in humans and other warm blooded animals, causing severe problems. It was found that there is an alteration in the trace elements concentrations levels associated with some human diseases. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the concentrations of some trace elements (Mg, Fe , Zn, and Cu) in the sera of 60 immunocompetent patients with chronic toxoplasmosis and 82 healthy individuals as a control group. Measuring the serum level of seropositivity rate of anti-T. gondii antibodies was done by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kit, while the concentrations of trace elements were measured by absorption spectrophotometry
