خلفية البحث: مرض السكري هو عامل خطر لأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية وتصلب الشرايين وسبب مهم للوفاة. يرتبط خلل الدهون في الدم بشكل شائع بمرض السكري من النوع الثاني ويعتبر مؤشر تصلب الشرايين في البلازما علامة قوية للتنبؤ بخطر الإصابة بتصلب الشرايين وأمراض القلب التاجية. الهدف من البحث: دراسة ارتباط المؤشرات الدهنية لتصلب الشرايين لدى المرضى العراقيين المصابين بالسكري من النوع الثاني ولديهم أمراض قلبية وعائية. المرضى وطرق العمل: أجريت هذه الدراسة السريرية في مستشفى بغداد التعليمي/ مدينة الطب - بغداد في الفترة من تشرين الأول 2022 ولغاية شباط 2023. تم مشاركة 60 مريضًا مصاباً بالسكري من النوع الثاني في هذه الدراسة. ثلاثون مريضا منهم كانوا يعانون من أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية و 30 غير مصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية. تراوحت أعمارهم بين 40-55 سنة. تم اختيار 30 فردًا سليما كمجموعة سيطرة. النتائج: كان هناك ارتفاع كبير في فحوصات نسبة السكر والدهون في الدم لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية مقارنة مع أولئك الذين لا يعانون من أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية ومجموعة السيطرة. أظهرت النتائج الحالية مستويات مرتفعة من نسب الدهون لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية. كشفت النتائج أيضًا عن مستويات عالية من البروتين الدهني غير عالي الكثافة لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية (241.8 ± 12.24 ملغم/ ديسيلتر) مقابل (150.1 ± 7.12 و 68.9 ± 5.1 ملغم/ ديسيلتر) لأولئك الذين لا يعانون من أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية ومجموعة السيطرة على التوالي. كان مؤشر تصلب الشرايين للبلازما لدى مرضى السكري المصابين بأمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية مقارنة بمجاميع مرضى السكري والأصحاء (0.8 ± 0.09) مقابل (0.7 ± 0.03 و 0.2 ± 0.08) على التوالي. كان هناك ارتباط معنوي موجب بين مؤشر تصلب الشرايين للبلازما والعوامل الجسمية، صورة السكر والدهون في الدم مع نسبها لدى مرضى السكري مع وبدون أمراض القلب والأوعية الدموية. الاستنتاجات: تؤكد نتائج هذه الدراسة أن مؤشرات الدهون هي مؤشرات خطر لضبط نسبة السكر في الدم بقيمة تنبؤية أعلى من العوامل التقليدية. أيضًا، ممكن اعتبار البروتين الدهني غير عالي الكثافة ومؤشر تصلب الشرايين في البلازما من العوامل الهامة للسيطرة على نسبة السكر في الدم.
In this paper, Bayes estimators of the parameter of Maxwell distribution have been derived along with maximum likelihood estimator. The non-informative priors; Jeffreys and the extension of Jeffreys prior information has been considered under two different loss functions, the squared error loss function and the modified squared error loss function for comparison purpose. A simulation study has been developed in order to gain an insight into the performance on small, moderate and large samples. The performance of these estimators has been explored numerically under different conditions. The efficiency for the estimators was compared according to the mean square error MSE. The results of comparison by MSE show that the efficiency of Bayes est

The films deposited on glass substrate using Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) as the light source. The structure and optical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmittance measurements. The films grown have a polycrystalline wurtzite structure and high transmission in the UV-Vis (300-900) nm. The optical energy gap of ZnO:Mg thin films could be controlled between (3.2eV and 3.9eV). The refractive index of ZnO:Mg thin films decreases with Mg doping. The extinction coefficient and the complex dielectric constant were also investigate.
Objective: Many studies focused on clinical cases such as ovariohysterectomy of bitches and scarcely mentioned the histological features. The present study describes the cytoarchitecture characteristics of a local dog’s mature adult reproductive tract. Materials and Methods: Sixteen samples of uterus and cervix were obtained from local breed bitches to conduct this study. The organs were processed according to routine histopathological protocol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson’s trichrome, and combined Alcian blue (2.5 pH) and PAS (AB-PAS) stains. Results: The mature endometrium formed numerous short epithelial folds and epithelial crypts composed of mucous cells and cuboidal cells. The core of the endometrium is c

For criminal investigations, fingerprints remain the most reliable form of personal identification despite developments in other fields like DNA profiling. The objective of this work is to compare the performance of both commercial charcoal and activated carbon powder derived from the Alhagi plant to reveal latent fingerprints from different non-porous surfaces (cardboard, plain glass, aluminum foil sheet, China Dish, Plastic, and Switch). The effect of three variables on activated carbon production was investigated. These variables were the impregnation ratio (the weight ratio of KOH: dried raw material), the activation temperature, and the activation time. The effect factors were investigated using Central Composite Design

However, a lot of work is needed to reduce the diesel exhaust emissions and give the way for full utilization of the diesel fuel’s excellent characteristics.
A kind of cetane number improver has been proposed and tested to be used with diesel fuel as ameans of reducing exhaust emissions. The addition of (2-ethylhexyl nitrate) was designed to raise fuel cetane number to three stages, 50, 52 and 55 compared to the used conventional diesel fuel whose CN was 48.5. The addition of CN improver results in the decre

Methyl orange dye is found in wastewater streams from various industries that include textiles, plastics, printing and paper among other sources. This article reviews methyl orange adsorption onto natural and modified materials. Despite many techniques available, adsorption stands out for efficient water and wastewater treatment for its ease of operation, flexibility and large-scale removal of colorants. It also has a significant potential for regeneration recovery and recycling of adsorbents in comparison to other water treatment methods. The adsorbents described herein were

This was done over seven steps, starting with p-acetamido-phenol 1 and 2-mercaptobenzoimidazole 2. The structure of the products was determined using FT-IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The evaluation of the antimicrobial activities of some prepared compounds was achieved against four types of bacteria (two types of gram-positive bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, and two types of gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E. Coli), as well as against one types of fungus (C. albino). The results show moderate activit against the study bacteria, and the theoretical analysis of the toxi
