العقم هو أحد المشاكل التي تواجه النساء والرجال. تعد السمنة واضطرابات مستوى الدهون، وكذلك مقاومة الأنسولين، من عوامل الخطر التي تسبب العقم، بالإضافة إلى العوامل الأخرى ذات الصلة. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى معرفة تأثير السمنة واختلال توازن الدهون مع دراسة علاقة كل من ثنائي الببتيديل ببتيديز-4 وعامل نخر الورم-الفا لدى النساء المصابات بالعقم مقارنة بالنساء غير المصابات به، لتحديد مدى إمكانية اعتمادها كعوامل تشخيصية ودالة على المرض. شملت الدراسة 50 مشاركاً، الفئة العمرية (15-34) سنة، الذين راجعوا مستشفى كمال السامرائي في بغداد، العراق. تم تقسيم المشاركين إلى مجموعتين؛ مجموعة المرضى (30 امرأة تعاني من العقم) ومجموعة السيطرة (20 امرأة سليمة). تم تقييم مستويات FBS، وانماط الدهون، وDPP4، وTNF-α، وFSH، وLH، والأنسولين والتستوستيرون. وتم تحديد مستويات FBS والدهون على أساس الطرق الطيفية. و تقدير مستويات DPP4 وTNF-α وFSH وLH والأنسولين والتستوستيرون بواسطة كتات ELISA الخاصة بهم. تم حساب مؤشر كتلة الجسم، HOMO-IR، ومؤشر تصلب الشرايين. أظهرت النتائج ارتفاع مستويات FBS، الدهون (باستثناء HDL)، DPP-4، TNF-α، LH، التستوستيرون وانخفاض مستوى هرمون FSH لدى المرضى مقارنة بالنساء الأصحاء. تؤكد زيادة قيم مستويات الدهون ومؤشر تصلب الشرايين ومقاومة الأنسولين ارتباط العقم بالسمنة واضطرابات الدهون والسكري وتصلب الشرايين. علاوة على ذلك، فإن DPP-4 وTNF-α مفيدان كعوامل تشخيصية جيدة للعقم عند النساء.

This work evaluates the economic feasibility of various production scenarios for the Zubair reservoir in the Kifl oil field using cash flow and net present value (NPV) calculations. The Kifl field is an exploratory field that has not yet been developed or assessed economically. The first well was drilled in 1960, and three other wells were later drilled to assess the oil accumulation, so in this research, Different production scenarios were evaluated economically. These scenarios were proposed based on the reservoir model of the Zubair formation in the field. The research methodology used QUE$TOR software to estimate capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenditures (OpEx) based on field-level data, production prof

... Show MoreBackground :Thalassemia is an autosomal
disease of the haemoglobin. Two types of
thalassemia are recognized: thalassemia major
and thalassemia intermedia.
The most serious cardiac complication in
thalassemia major is due to multiple blood
transfusions rather than the disease itself, which
is due to iron overload.
Cardiomyopathy is the most common cardiac
defect that occurs with iron overload. Pricarditis,
congestive heart failure and arrhythmias are due
to hemosidrosis and chronic aneamia.
Aim of the study: to demonstrate the prevalence
and types of electrocardiographic changes among
thalassemic patients with aged over ten years old.
