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.
The research aims to identify the level of awareness of student teachers in the behavioral disorders and autism specialization about the diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder and Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder according to some variables. The study was conducted on a sample of (113) student teachers. The researcher employed the awareness scale of a teacher-screening questionnaire for autism spectrum disorder and social pragmatic communication disorder. The results showed that the average of teachers in the total degree of awareness of autism spectrum disorder and social communication have recorded a moderate degree. As for the awareness of autism spectrum disorder was high. Then, the awareness of social communication disorder wa

Show MoreIn this work, of New Ligand [(E)-5-hydroxy-4-(3-(4-methoxy phenyl) acryl amido) naphthalene -1- sulfonic acid] (ANS) was prepared by reflexing reaction of 4-amino-5-hydroxy naphthalene sulfonic acid with para methoxy cinnamic acid, this produced and described chemical was employed as ligand to prepare tri and di-organotin complexes by condensation reaction with the salts of organotin chloride (phenyl, butyl, and methyl tin chloride). Specialized methods, including elemental analysis, (tin and proton) magnetic resonance, and infrared spectra, were used to identify the complexes. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and CUPRAC (Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity) are both commonly used methods for measuring antioxidant capacity in v

Nevertheless, using AI-powered writing aid tools has prompted worries about excessive dependence on these tools and their possible influence on writing proficiency. The current study aimed to explore the academic staff’s perspectives on the impact of AI on academic writing. This qualitative study incorporated in-person interviews with academic faculty members. The interviews were conducted in a semi-structured manner, using a predetermined interview guide consisting of open-ended questions. The interviews were done in person with the participants from May to November 2023. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Ten academics aged
... Show MoreEarth dams in regions with moderate to high seismic activity are crucial for protecting downstream communities. Iraq and its neighboring areas have seen recurrent seismic activity, notably the 2017 Halabja Earthquake, which potentially compromised the integrity of the existing earth dam. The Darbandikhan Dam, affected by an earthquake, has inadequacies in its crest and downstream slope, presenting a greater danger of significant earthquake-induced damage compared to cyclic shocks. Consequently, evaluating the dam's safety is essential for safeguarding downstream residents and identifying optimal ways to avert slope stability failure amid recurrent seismic activity. Iraq's seismicity map is being updated to reflect earthquake magni
... Show MoreA reinforced concrete frame is referred as "RIGID FRAMES". However, researches indicate that the Beam-Column joint (BCJ) is definitely not rigid. In addition, extensive research shows that failure may occur at the joint instead of in the beam or the column. Joint failure is known to be a catastrophic type which is difficult to repair.
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hoops and column axial load on the shear strength of high-strength fiber reinforced Beam-Column Joints by using a numerical model based on finite element method using computer program ANSYS (Version 11.0). The variables are: diameter of hoops and magnitude of column axial load.
The theoretical results obtained from ANSYS program are in a good a
Background: The isatin molecule is present in many natural substances, including plants and animals, and is used to prepare compounds with various biological activities. Objectives: To synthesize a new series of isatin derivatives with the expectation that they will have antimicrobial activity. Methods: Thiazole Schiff bases were synthesized from various Mannich bases of isatin to evaluate their antimicrobial properties. Initially, Mannich bases (2a–e) were synthesized by reacting isatin with formaldehyde and different secondary amines. Subsequently, they were treated with 2-aminothiazole to yield the final compounds (3a–e). Spectroscopic characterization was done via FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The antimicrobial screening was conducted o
... Show MoreThis work deals with the effect of adding aluminum nanoparticles on the mechanical properties, micro-hardness and porosity of memory-shape alloys (Cu-Al-Ni). These alloys have wide applications in various industrial fields such as (high damping compounds and self-lubricating applications). The samples are manufactured using the powder metallurgy method, which involved pressing in only one direction and sintered in a furnace surrounded by an inert gas. Four percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of aluminum nanoparticles were fabricated, which depended on the weight of aluminum powder (13%) in the sample under study. To find out which phase is responsible for the reliability of the formation of this type of alloy and its porosity, X-ray diffr
