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.
Background: Multifactor affect the pathogenesis of thrombosis in solid malignancy; however, a significant role is attributed to the cancer cells ability to interact with and activate the host hemostatic system. [1]
Hemostasis is highly correlated to tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis, modulation of these pathways reflects interesting and promising treatment options in the future. [1]
Most patients with cancer frequently suffer from chronic compensated DIC and have abnormal laboratory coagulation tests without clinical manifestations of thrombosis, which is a subclinical hypercoagulable state that can be detected by varying degrees of activation of blood clotting. The results of laboratory tests in th

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate and compare cytological changes using morphometric analysis of the exfoliated buccal mucosal cells in Behçet’s disease patients and healthy controls, and to evaluate the clinical characteristics of Behçet’s disease. Methods. Twenty five Behçet’s disease patients have been compared to 25 healthy volunteers as a control group. Papanicolaou stain was used for staining the smears taken from buccal epithelial cells to be analyzed cytomorphometrically. The image analysis sof

Show MoreThe objective of this study is to evaluate the level of cytokines IL-1?, IL-10 and IL-17A in the serum of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD) and down syndrome (DS). The results showed that Serum level of IL-1? was significantly increased in AD patients (3.79 ± 0.26 pg/ml) as compared with DS patients (2.78 ± 0.39 pg/ml) or controls (2.78 ± 0.22 pg/ml), while no significant difference was observed between AD and VD (3.25 ± 0.20 pg/ml) patients or between VD patients, DS patients and controls. The serum level of IL-10 was approximated in VD and DS patients and controls (3.39 ± 0.24, 2.77 ± 0.39 and 3.41 ± 0.35 pg/ml, respectively), but was significantly (P ? 0.05) increased in AD patients (5.73 ± 0.55 pg/ml

It is associated with increased risk of cancer. Unfortunately the typical and safe dose of each radiological examination is not known. Most of our knowledge of cancer risk comes from studies of survivors of those exposed to whole body radiation from atomic bomb in Hiroshima & Nagasaki, jobs associated with radiation exposure, Chernobyl survivors & patients treated with radiation therapy for cancer and other diseases.
Objectives To estimate radiation dose received by patients from diagnostic radiological examinations and lifetime

This study aims to determine the prevalence of the usp gene in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from females with urinary tract infections and study its correlation with biofilm formation. One hundred and five urine specimens were collected from female patients (20 to 55 years old) with urinary tract infections attending hospitals. Traditional laboratory methods using selective and differential culture media were used for initial bacterial isolation and identification, and molecular techniques that targeted a segment of the 16SrRNA gene with a specific primer pa

Starting with 5-(4-bromo phenyl) imidazo (2, 1-b) thiazole, which was synthesized using the standard procedure, the Carbaldehyed group was introduced at position 6 of 5-(4-bromo phenyl) imidazo (2, 1-b) thiazole. Then, this 6-carbaldehyed derivative was condensed with different substituted aromatic amines to afford new Schiff bases. The latter were cyclized into new oxazepine and imidazolone derivatives by using phthalic anhydride and glycine, respectively. These new derivatives were characterized by using FT-IR, 1HHNMR, and 13CNMR spectra, as well as examined (evaluated) for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal a
