Authors: Сурнін Микита
Published: June 2024

Виявлені мультикультурні наративи в голлівудському семантичному просторі та американському кіно на прикладі стрічок 2010-х рр. За часів президентства Б. Обами, адміністрація якого лобіювала соціальні інтереси національних меншин через міграційну кризу на Заході, збільшується національне різноманіття акторських складів у фільмах, зростає популярність правозахисної тематики, окреслюється великий тренд, пов’язаний з трансляцією лівих ідей мультикультуралізму, посиленням ліво-ліберальної полеміки у жанровому кіно. Оголошення претендентів на премію «Оскар» у 2015 р., коли в основних категоріях номіновано лише двох «кольорових» людей, спровокувало кризу публічної ідентичності Голлівуду, після чого впродовж п’яти років американська кіно академія запровадила нові критерії для кінокартин (серед яких – щонайменше 30% другорядних та епізодичних ролей повинні грати жінки, представники расових чи етнічних меншин, ЛГБТ-меншин, люди з інвалідністю). З-поміж основних мультикультурних наративів у голлівудському кінематографі 2010-х рр. виокремлено: боротьба та перемога представниці етнічної меншини у війні за спадок («Ножі наголо»), афро-американські наративи («Чорна пантера»), талант і загальнолюдські якості вищі за расову приналежність («Зелена книга») та ін.

Published: June 2024

Background: Losartan potassium possesses poor bioavailability due to low elimination half-life and so requires to be developed as sustained release dosage form. Objectives: The present study was intended to prepare directly compressible sustained release matrix tablets of losartan potassium using hydrophilic polymer. Methods: Directly compressible agglomerates of drug were prepared by crystallo-co-agglomeration technique employing HPMC K100M as release retardant polymer. Prepared agglomerates were subjected for evaluation of flow, packing and compaction properties. Morphology of spherical agglomerates was studied by photomicrography and DSC and FTIR were performed to study drug-excipient compatibility. Optimized formulations of crystallo-co-agglomerates were then compressed into matrix tablets. Tablets were evaluated for various pharmacopeialand non-pharmacopeialtests. In-vitro dissolution study performed to evaluate drug release. Results: Results for agglomerates indicated superior flow; packing and compaction properties compared to pure drug and suggested utilization of agglomerates for direct compression tableting. DSC and FTIR proved that drug did not undergo structural and/or polymorphic changes in presence of polymer. Photomicrography images confirmed spherical shape of agglomerates. Results observed for evaluation of tablets were within the compendia limits. In-vitro dissolution study revealed extension of drug release for significantly prolonged period of time. Conclusion: Crystallo-co-agglomeration method can be successfully utilized for preparation of directly compressible sustained release matrix tablets.©2023Caproslaxy Media. All rights reserved.

Authors: Haleem Azad A. , Abdulrahman Nareen A. , Yahya Nizar B. , Atrushi Akrem M. , Hussein Kiner I.
Published: June 2024

Background: Bronchiolitis is the most common acute infection of infants’ lower respiratory tract especially in the first two years of age. Its clinical course is complex where symptoms vary in severity and may progress rapidly to respiratory failure. Some factors can predispose to severe bronchiolitis like inhalation of cigarette smoke, crowded living environment, congenital heart defects and lack of breastfeeding. Aim of the study: The study aims to study the clinical and sociodemographic factors that are related to the severity of acute bronchiolitis in the patients included in the study. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study achieved at Hevi pediatric teaching Children Hospital in Duhok north of Iraq in the period from 1st November 2022 to 1st February 2023. The study included all patients aged 1-24 months diagnosed to have bronchiolitis and treated as inpatient in the hospital during that period. The diagnosis was made according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) diagnostic criteria in 2014.  The severity of bronchiolitis was classified according to the Modiﬁed Cincinnati Bronchiolitis Score (MCBS). For every participant, the clinical aspects and epidemiological factors associated with bronchiolitis were obtained through a questionnaire filled by direct interview with parents. The data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 26; the clinical significance was considered when P value is less than 0.05.  Results: The study included 148 patients with bronchiolitis. Most of them were of moderate severity and female were more common. The age group (3-6 months) was significantly associated with severity. Most of patients lived in urban areas and were delivered by Caesarean section. Exposure to tobacco smoke was significantly associated with the severity of the disease. The artificial feeding was the most common with significant association with the severity. Most of patients had siblings attending school and childcare without significant association with the severity and less than a quarter of them had a family history of asthma. Poor living conditions was significantly associated with severity. Local cradle (landik) was significantly associated with severity. Most chest X ray findings were normal in 126 patients (85.1%) with no significant association with severity. Conclusion: Age, exposure to tobacco smoke, type of feeding, poor living conditions and sleeping in the local cradle (landik) were significantly related to the bronchiolitis severity in Duhok.
The Histomorphometric and Histological Evaluation of Renal Cortex in Response to Sleep Disturbance in Adult Male Rat
Authors: Zahraa Aboud Mohsin  , Huda Rashid Kamoona
Published: June 2024

Background: Sleep disturbance affects kidney structure reflected in functional derangement causing renal diseases; this occurs through sympathetic system activation and inflammation. Changes in the renal vascular bed affect the renal corpuscle-related structures such as the glomerular area, and urine space, in addition to the kidney tubular apparatus. Sleep deprivation or sleep interruption differ in their effect on systolic blood pressure causing renal tissue changes that predispose to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Aim of the study: The study aims to evaluate the effect of sleep disturbance on histological changes of renal tissue in control and experiment groups. Patients and methods: An experimental study on a sample of thirty adult male albino Rats, was divided into three groups (10 animals per group). The control group had a normal sleep rhythm which was 12 hours in the dark and 12 hours in light. Group A:  at 12 hours light and 12 hours dark with the production of a flashlight at three-time intervals, every 2 hours, during their sleep period, while Group B includes rats that were exposed to a reduction in sleep time by continuous flashlight stimulation for 7 hours per day, during their sleep period. Then, the kidneys were dissected and prepared for histological evaluation and quantification. The experiment lasted for 14 days for all groups, and the study was performed during the period between the 1st of January 2023 to the 1st of August 2023 in the anatomy department in  Al- Nahrain Medical College. Results: This study showed the effect of sleep disturbance patterns (sleep reduction, and sleep interruption) by light stimulation in adult male rats on cortical renal tubules and cortical vessels. A prominent dilatation in cortical renal tubules with the presence of cortical hemorrhagic areas and cortical necrosis with inflammatory cell infiltration was seen to be associated with sleep deprivation prominently. Histological changes of renal corpuscular areas, glomerular tuft area, and renal space area showed significant variations in sleep disturbance groups, in a p-value ≤ 0.05. Conclusions: Changes in sleep patterns indicate the importance of sleep in maintaining renal cortical tissue structural integrity by its effect on local hemodynamics of cortical vessels that ultimately affect the structure and area of the renal corpuscles. Sleep deprivation represents a powerful factor for renal cortical changes that lead to corpuscular and tubular damage.
Evaluating the Effect of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles after Added to the Maxillofacial Silicone on the Adherence of Staphylococcus Epidermidis
Authors: Ahmed Jameel Mashloosh  , Faiza M. Abdul-Ameer
Published: June 2024

Background: Maxillofacial defects may arise from congenital, developmental, traumatic, or surgical procedures. The presence of such defects may adversely affect an individual's appearance and function, resulting in an inability to lead a typical life and impacting their psychological well-being. Surgical reconstruction is often regarded as the primary therapeutic option in such instances. However, it may not be feasible in numerous cases due to various unfavorable conditions. Consequently, the need for maxillofacial prosthesis reconstruction becomes obligatory. Purpose: This study assesses the antibacterial efficacy of copper oxide nanoparticles at different rates against Staphylococcus epidermidis after incorporation into maxillofacial silicone. Methods: A pilot study was first conducted in Iraq and copper oxide nanoparticles were added to VST50F silicone elastomer in different five percentages (0.01 wt%, 0.02 wt%, 0.03 wt%, 0.04 wt%, and 0.05 wt%). Thirty specimens were prepared and grouped into six groups: one control group and five experimental groups, and then the best effective two percentages (0.03 wt% and 0.04 wt%) were selected for the main study. Thirty specimens for the main study were divided into three groups: control group (A) and two experimental groups (B and C). A statistical analysis was done with an ANOVA and the Games-Howell multiple comparison test (P < 0.05). The data's normal distribution and homogeneity were assessed. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FES-EM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were also conducted. Results: The statistical analysis showed a significant difference between all groups with P < 0.05. There was a significant difference between control group A and experimental groups B and C with P < 0.05, as well as between experimental groups B and C (P < 0.05). FESEM showed that nanoparticles were distributed well within the silicone matrix. FTIR spectra proved no chemical reaction to occurr between the copper oxide nanoparticles and VST50F silicone. Conclusion: Incorporating copper oxide nanoparticles into VST50F maxillofacial silicone improved their antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Terms Used to Describe Abnormalities of Joint Kinematics: An Overview
Authors: Jagar Omar Doski
Published: June 2024

Background: In the joints, the movements, active or passive, occur normally in certain physiological planes: axes or directions, and within certain limits. In certain pathologies, the joint kinematics may be affected in one of the following ways: limitation of the normal movements, movement beyond the normal limits, or movement in the non-physiological planes. Different terms were used to describe the abnormalities of the joint kinematics. Nowadays, terms like joint hypermobility, joint laxity, joint instability, and ligamentous laxity are, synonymously or not, still used in some literature in their correct place. The current article aimed to review the abnormalities of joint kinematics and the new concepts of optimum application of the terms used to describe them. It has reached to some conclusions like: limitation of joint movement is the term used to describe any incomplete joint movement within a physiological plane and standard limits; Joint hypermobility is the term used to describe the ability to do a joint movement in a physiological plane but beyond the usual limits. Joint instability is the term used to describe the liability of a joint to move in non-physiological planes.

Authors: Fatima Ali Abdulwahed Alkyoon  , Dananah Falah Mahdi
Published: June 2024

Back ground: the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic Inflammatory disease of the airways and/ or parenchyma usually characterized by progressive irreversible airflow with accompanying respiratory symptoms like dyspnea, cough, production of sputum, and/or exacerbations. The pathophysiology Of COPD involves bronchitis and /or emphysema, the effect of inflammation occurs in the lung and also have systemic effect, most common causes is tobacco smoking, occupational pollution, indoor pollution. Progranulin (PGRN) is defined as precursor of pleiotropic glycosylated protein, it has significant role in process of inflammation, angiogenesis, neoplasia, cell development, cell cycle, embryogenesis, wound healing, modification of autoimmune process, highly found in several type of cells like respiratory epithelial cells. Objective: The aim is to study relationship between serum level of PGRN and inflammatory markers in COPD patients. Material and method: A case control study composed of 40 patients with COPD and 45 controls, demographic characteristic, pulmonary function test, blood investigation include CRP-titer, WBC and plasma PGRN were measured and made comparison of data in cases with controls, data collected were statically analysis by SPSS. Result: The study showed that, there was no significant correlation between serum progranulin level, WBC and C-Reactive Protein titer in COPD patients (P value >0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that PGRN level in COPD patients don’t correlate with CRP titer level or with WBC.
The Effect of Age on Right Ventricular Systolic Function Using Traditional Echocardiographic Measures
Authors: Al-Obaidi Elham Hussien Manhal , Al-Aboodi Asaad Hasan Noaman
Published: June 2024

Background: In a wide range of clinical settings, comprehensive evaluation of the right ventricle has become increasingly essential. Measures of right ventricle systolic function, including fractional area change, tissue Doppler, S velocity, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, show a significant variation in previous studies and different data known regarding how these measurements change with age. Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of age on right ventricle systolic function by using conventional 2D echocardiographic assessment. Patients and methods: Comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography examinations were performed on 103 healthy adult volunteers, mean age 37.1±11.9 years (range: 20-66), to determine age related changes in right ventricle dimensions and function. Results: The assessment of right ventricle function demonstrates slightly significant differences in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (r= -.197, p = .047), and FAC (r= -.241, p = .015), among age groups, with a non-significant very small negative relationship between age and tissue Dopplers (r= -.0925, p = .355). Conclusions: This study has demonstrated that age-adjusted measures are required for the evaluation of right ventricle function. Further, the conventional techniques may ignore mild or slight changes leading to underestimated assessment which regarded as a fundamental challenge for their use; so, the use of advanced techniques which allow early identification of right ventricle dysfunction are recommended since they can detect subclinical dysfunction before anomalies revealed by traditional echocardiography occur.

Authors: Zwain Sara Basim , Al-Katib Sami Raheem , Dananah Falah Mahdi , Zwain Basim MH
Published: June 2024

Background: The COVID-19 epidemic, which is still ongoing, has a significant effect on health care both in Iraq and worldwide. Further strain on health systems was caused by successive waves of altered viruses, further enhancing virus dissemination.  Persistent symptoms may last for several months following the initial COVID-19 infection. The illness is called post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, or Long COVID (PASC). Long-term COVID-19 infection can affect various organs and systems, including the hematological system, and cause many symptoms. Hematological problems have been observed in several investigations with COVID-19 individuals. Poor outcomes and an increased risk of severe disease are linked to the majority of these changes.
Objective: This study aims to find the post-COVID-19 effects on the hematological parameters. Methods: This study was a case-control investigation at the Al-Sader Teaching Hospital in Maysan City between October 13, 2023, and November 13, 2023. There are fifty-eight patients in all, along with fifty-eight controls. In this study, randomly selected controls were matched to patients with COVID-19 symptoms. Except for not having COVID-19 disease, the controls had to fulfill the same requirements as the cases. Clinical profiles and hematological markers were examined and contrasted between the two groups.
Results: The data show no significant differences (P > 0.05) in age, BMI, and sex between cases and control group. The results confirm alterations in hematological parameters. Analysis of blood samples showed significantly a higher mean of RBC and a decline in MCHC, and MCV in comparison to the control. However, there are no significant differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit parameters between cases and control. Mean HCT% and HGB are significantly lower for the age group 18-29 years than for 30-39 and 40-49 years and the alterations were more noticeable in male COVID-19 patients.
Conclusion: The results show altered hematological parameters after 3 years of COVID-19 infection. The changes include reduced Hg, MCH, and MCHC and higher RBC values that might affect oxygen transport through the body. The alterations were more noticeable in male COVID-19 patients, indicating that males are more affected by the disease than females. In light of the increasing number of individuals with Long-COVID, more research is required to determine the precise underlying causes of the extended altered RBC and hemoglobin value among different age groups.

Authors: Hussein Al-salami Abbas , Malik Al-shammari Majida , Hadi Al-Kalabi Majid
Published: June 2024

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a significant pathogen associated with multidrug infections among diabetic foot infections. The Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (pvl) gene is an MRSA marker frequently present in community-acquired infections; it causes deep skin and soft tissue infections and osteomyelitis. Objectives: This study aimed to detect the prevalence of the PVL gene in MRSA isolates. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study conducted from August 2023 to January 2024 investigated MRSA in 150 patients with DFIs at As-in Al-Manathira Hospital in Al-Najaf, Iraq. The S. aureus isolates were diagnosed using the Vitek® 2 technique. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates were detected by a phenotypic method depending on cefoxitin disk diffusion and confirmed by a genotypic method by PCR targeting the mecA, and then the pvl gene was investigated. The genotypic methods employed particularly primers targeting the macA gene and pvl gene using the monoplex PCR technique. Results: The findings demonstrated that 95 (93.1%) of the 102 S. aureus isolates were resistant to cefoxitin, and according to the findings of the molecular study, only 96 (94.11%) isolates showed the mecA gene. Regarding the pvl gene, 97 (95.09%) of isolates produced positive findings. Conclusions: Diabetic foot infections exhibited a significantly high presence of the pvl gene within MRSA strains. These were confirmed using PCR, the gold standard method for detecting the mecA gene associated with methicillin resistance.
Role of Cathepsin G in Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosis and Disease Activity Evaluation
Authors: Mays Saleh Khamees  , Raad Abdulameer Alasady
Published: June 2024

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects 1% of the world's population. It causes chronic inflammation of synovial tissue, leading to joint destruction, poor quality of life, and disability. Cathepsin G (CTSG), which acts as a proteolytic enzyme, can be a factor in RA. These proteases belong to the serine protease family and have a role in autoimmune disorders. They can cause bone and cartilage destruction and an immune response in cases of inflammatory arthritis. The objective of this study is to determine if CTSG could serve as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and evaluation of the activity of RA. Methods: The study involved 132 patients with inflammatory arthritis, and their serum levels of CTSG and anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) were measured using ELISA. Other routine biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and rheumatoid factor (RF), were also measured. Results: The mean of CTSG was significantly lower in RA patients (110.53 pg/ml ± 49.959) than in those with other types of inflammatory arthritis (132.65 pg/ml ± 30.199). According to DAS-28 ESR and DAS-28 CRP, the study found no significant difference in CTSG levels across the four disease activity groups (P = 0.585, P = 0.823, respectively). Additionally, CTSG had a significant negative correlation with diabetes mellitus and treatment intake in newly diagnosed RA (P = 0.009, P = 0.041, respectively). This study is the first to evaluate CTSG as an RA diagnostic tool, showing a sensitivity of 70.1% and a specificity of 60.0% at a cut-off value of ≤133.33 pg/ml. Conclusions: The study results suggest that CTSG has potential as a diagnostic biomarker for RA when used alongside other clinical and laboratory criteria. However, it should not be solely relied upon for evaluating RA activity.

Authors: Zahraa M. Hussein AL-Khaqani  , Thanaa Shams Al-Deen Al-Turaihi
Published: June 2024

Background: Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels, resulting from insulin resistance and the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. This disease is associated with several serious complications that are sometimes life-threatening to patients. One of these complications is that it can depression accompanies patients with type 2 diabetes, as it is a Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and the most important symptoms are social isolation, sleep disturbances, lack of appetite, loss of desire, and passion for daily activities. Opinions differed about the origin of the emergence of this psychological disorder in terms of the involvement of multiple factors, including internal, and some of them are external to causing this disorder. In this study, we will shed light on one of the complications associated with diabetes, which is depression. Method and Results: This cross-sectional study included the selection of 128 individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes from the Diabetes and Endocrinology Center located in Najaf, Iraq from July 2023 to January 2024. The study included 43 men and 85 women. The ages of the participants ranged from 30 to 75 years. Patients were randomly selected during their visit to the center. Results: 31(24.2%) individuals did not manifest any symptoms of depression 75.78% suffered from depression, most of the depressed people were women, and the difference between the sexes was statistically significant p-value (0. 002). Conclusion; Our study highlights a striking connection between type 2 diabetes and depression, with a significantly higher incidence of depression in diabetic patients. Additionally, the fact that females are more likely to suffer from depression compared to males also calls for further research into other factors that could potentially exacerbate mental health issues in type 2 diabetes women.

يدرس هذا البحث أثرَ القبض في البحر الطويل, ويهدف إلى سبر الاستقامات المسموحة فيه, وقد استعملنا فيه المنهج العلمي وفق طريقة مبتكرة تستند إلى نظرية المستقيمات, ووجدنا أن الاستقامات تقع في تسعة مستويات، منها خمسةٌ متطابقة يرد فيها القبض عدداً زوجياً من المرات بالإضافة إلى ما يأتي منها من دون قبض, وأربعة غير متطابقة يرد القبض فيها عدداً فردياً من المرات في البيت الواحد. وقدّمنا نماذج من أبيات شعرية لكل حالة, كما وجدنا أن مستويات الاستقامة المنخفضة (من دون قبض, وأحادية القبض) قليلة الورود في الشعر العربي, وأن مستويات الاستقامة المرتفعة (سباعية القبض, وثمانية القبض) نادرة الوجود في الشعر العربي, أما المستويات المتوسطة (ثنائية القبض, ثلاثية القبض, رباعية القبض, خماسية القبض, سداسية القبض) فترِد كثيراً في الشعر العربي. ووجدنا أنه لا يمكن للشعراء مهما تنوعت أغراضهم الشعرية تجاوز هذه المستويات عند استعمال القبض في البحر الطويل. ولا تخرج مستويات الاستقامة في كل قصائد الشعر العربي التي تستعمل القبض في الطويل عن تلك المذكورة, ومن ثم يكون الإبداع والتنوع في استعمال القبض ضمن أبيات القصيدة, فينتقل الشاعر من سوية إلى أخرى بحسب مرات استعمال القبض والجهد الذي يبذله للتعبير عما يجيش في نفسه. يفتح هذا البحث آفاقاً جديدة في نقد الشعر العربي.

Published: June 2024

A digital twin is a computerised representation of a planned or existing real-world physical framework or operation (a physical twin) that functions as a nearly identical digital equivalent system for practical reasons such as an imitation, amalgamation, evaluation, observation and administration. The digital twin was initially designed since its creation to be the basic concept for product life span management and lives throughout the whole lifespan of the physical thing it represents. This article will explain the concept of digital twin in underwater wireless sensors. The article examines various research works employing the digital twin in UWSN (Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks), and the research work explains the fundamentals of digital twins and their applications.

Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), anemia é caracterizada por níveis de hemoglobina abaixo de 11g/dl. Durante a gravidez, a anemia entre gestantes é uma deficiência nutricional comum globalmente, sendo mais frequente em países em desenvolvimento, onde pode afetar até metade das gestações. Essa alta incidência está associada a diversos fatores, incluindo mudanças fisiológicas típicas da gestação, como a diluição sanguínea e o aumento das necessidades de ferro, vitamina B9 e B12. Dietas com baixa ingestão desses nutrientes essenciais para gestantes também contribuem significativamente. Esses fatores aumentam o risco das formas mais comuns de anemia durante a gravidez: anemia ferropriva e anemia megaloblástica, resultantes da deficiência de ferro e vitaminas B9 e B12, respectivamente. As complicações potenciais da anemia para mães e bebês são preocupantes, especialmente em casos severos, podendo levar a complicações graves até mesmo fatais. Portanto, dada a prevalência elevada da anemia e seus impactos, é crucial providenciar orientações adequadas, medidas preventivas e tratamento, incluindo a suplementação nutricional necessária durante a gravidez.

O objetivo deste artigo é estudar o estresse em pais e cuidadores de crianças com transtorno do espectro do autismo (TEA) e identificar ferramentas que podem ser utilizadas para reduzir o estresse emocional e promover a saúde mental. Esta é uma revisão da literatura científica elaborada a partir da literatura científica publicada entre 2017 e 2024 sobre estresse parental em cuidadores de crianças com transtorno do espectro do autismo. Para identificar os artigos, pesquisamos nas bases de dados Periódico LILAS, PUBMED e Google Acadêmico para identificar artigos relacionados ao tema estado emocional de pais de crianças com TEA. Os resultados mostraram que a gravidade dos sintomas do TEA foi a principal causa do estresse parental. Pensar demais é o maior estresse que as mães enfrentam. Devido ao aumento do estresse, do estresse familiar e que afeta diretamente a qualidade de vida, faz-se necessário estabelecer uma rede de apoio psicológico à família e orientação. Além disso, as redes sociais devem ser incentivadas, pois são conhecidas por serem importantes determinantes do bem-estar face ao stress. Vários artigos demonstraram a importância dos programas de treinamento parental, pois fornecem técnicas apropriadas de modificação de comportamento em situações familiares para melhorar a autoeficácia dos pais e cuidadores.
