Authors: Haleem Hamadi Issa  , Marwa Kareem Qasem Mohammad
Published: January 2024

The present study aimed to assess the interrelationship between serum total testosterone (S.Tes) as well as sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and the main components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in type 2 diabetic men. One hundred and sixty patients having T2DM were enrolled in this study. The following characteristics were reported: age, gender, duration of T2DM , Body mass index (BMI) and arterial blood pressure.. Serum hormonal profile analyses (S.Tes, SHBG and prolactin). Serum lipid analyses (T.ch TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C). The mean age of study subjects was 49.8 5.7 years and the mean duration of disease was 5.45.2 years. Body mass index (BMI) of study group was found to be within the range of either overweight or obese class . The means of HbA1c ratio and FSG levels were 9.4 %  2.1 and 200.9  75.2 mg/dl respectively which indicated that our patients were in a bad glycemic control. All components of S. lipid profile were within normal range . Serum Testosterone and SHBG levels were within normal range but in the low values( 4.49±2.11 ,28.88±18.12 ng/ml respectively) while serum prolactin level was within normal range but in the high values (11.22±9.42 ng/ml). When study analytes were compared according to the presence of one or more metabolic syndrome characteristic then there was a significant decrease in mean value of testosterone level between obese and non obese diabetics ( 3.89±1.87 vs. 4.79±2.17 ng/ ml, P < 0.001) . If hypertension was present in addition to obesity and diabetes then SHBG level was also significantly decreased in comparison with diabetics who were hypertensive but not obese (25.16±13.42 vs. 33.58±13.73 ng/ ml respectively , P <0.05 ). If hypertension and obesity were present as well as lower HDL-C then significant decreases in both S. SHBG and S. Tes were detected ( (30.63±14.93 vs. 40.7± 6.33 ng/ ml and 3.73±1.9 vs. 5.57±1.53 ng/ ml respectively , P<0.01). In conclusion; our T2DM patients have a bad glycemic state and are characterized by a significantly lower S. Tes mean level if they were obese. Still, the accumulation of other main characteristics of MetS which included hypertension and lower S. HDL- C results in a significantly lower mean levels of both S. Tes and S. SHBG. Obesity, among the other core characteristics of MetS, seems to have the main suppressor effect on serum testosterone and SHBG in T2DM.

Most hospitals and clinic suffer loss of data saved in databases and unavailability of strong cohesive information systems. The objective of this study is to design and implement a web-based EHR system that can help create a national repository of health data, and will therefore, make the deployment of telemedicine applications easier in the future. The EHR system ables to store the patient information, which normally includes personal information, address, demographics, progress notes, immunization, lab data, Radiology information, past medical history, family history, vital sign, tobacco history, alcohol history, examinations, and so on. The proposed system consists of two another components, Queries system which is built to combine data from different tables by using a combination of mathematical or logical operators, Queries system used to answer on a an academic researchers questions. And the front-end of the EHR system which it is a set of GUI(Graphic User Interfaces) that act as a bridge in between the end users and the EHR system.

Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite and important pathogen of human and other vertebrate hosts. Transmission of parasite is direct,by either the fecal- oral route or the contamination of water supplies with the resistant infective oocyst stage (oocyst). Examinations were performed on 441 stool specimens refered for screening on the basis of diarrhoea and 315 stool specimens as controls. The study was carried out during the period from September,1995 to March, 1996 in Ramadi city. Combination of Formalin-Ether concentration method with modified Acid-Fast stain were used for all specimens . From 9 (2.2% ) of 441specimens obtained from patients , Cryptosporidium Oocysts were isolated, but no parasite isolated from 315 stool specimens of control groups ( 0.00). High rate infection was among (1-21( months age groups and males recorded the highest( 5 / 226 ) (2.2 %)than females (4/215) ( 1.9%). The study includes two types of residency, then water source plays a role in the transmission of the infection .The majority of Cryptosporidium Oocysts were recovered during September ( 5.35 % ) while the minority during January( 0.00).

The separation axioms in particular that concerned with ideal topological spaces are discussed widely in the literature because they classify the spaces depending on the validity of each axiom of separating either the points or the subsets. In this work, new type of separation axioms in ideal topological spaces are defined which is more natural than these appear in the literature. This new classis of separation axioms depends on the notion of pre-δ-open. Properties of these sorts are studied and the relationships among these concepts are discussed.

Eigenface approach based human face recognition
Authors: Eyad Ibrahim Abbas
Published: January 2024

This paper describe the principle of eigenface approach to detection and identification human face. In this approach, the features extracted from face images are individual, hidden, light insensitive, and effective to recognition. Wherever approach treats the face recognition as two dimensions recognition problems, taking advantage of the fact that faces are normally upright and thus may be described by a small set of two characteristics view. The face images for training and testing are selected carefully from Olivetti and Oracle Research Laboratory (ORL) face database in order to have minmum pose variation. The eigenface approach is proposed seems to be an adequate method to be used in face recognition due to its simplicity, speed, and learning capability.

Published: January 2024

The focus of this paper is on the investigation and the understanding of transition probability of charge at the metal/semiconductor interface depending on the calculation of the rate constant. For this system we can suppose two localized quantum vector states system with a conduction electron state vector l 〉 interacting with an acceptor state vector l 〉 of electron in band of metal with the interacting described by the coupling matrix element. Expression of rate constant of charge transfer for metal/semiconductor system derived upon the quantum model and perturbation theory for transition between l 〉 and I state when the coupling matrix element coefficient smaller than . The probability of the charge transfer rate constant for the metal/semiconductor interface in this context, is basically defined as a relatively to potential barrier between a metal and a semiconductor The probability of charge transfer rate constant evaluated with reorganization energy using a matlap program. Theoretical results obtained for our mode show that the probability of charge transfer is more probable with decreasing the reorganization energy.

Authors: R. S. Abbas
Published: January 2024

This project has been conducted on New Zealand White Rabbits (newborns and adults) . Biceps brachii, soleus and abdominal wall of muscles were used in this study. Fresh pieces of muscle tissues were frozen to be cut at (10 μm) thick sections by the cryostat.Skeletal musclefibre types were investigated histochemically to demonstrate myosin adenosin triphosphatase (ATPase) activity using acid and alkaline preincubation and succinate dehydrogenase ( SDHase ) activity . In this way it may be possible to recognize the fast and slow twitch muscle fibers, as well as to explore the difference in reaching maturity between different muscles of the body. The results showed that, the biceps brachii and abdominal wall muscles consist predominantly of fast fibers, whilst the soleus muscle is made up of a near homogenous population of slow fibers. The immature abdominal wall muscle showed some reversal of the mature limb muscles staining pattern of the same animal.
