Authors: Sanecka Anna 
Published: June 2020

Aim. The aim of the article is to present the pedagogical potential of the puppet performance “Odd and Luna” staged in Wroclaw Puppet Theatre. The performance is interpreted from the philosophy of dialogue’s point of view, focused mainly on the philosophy of Polish philosopher Józef Tischner.
Methods.The plot and the main theme of the performance – the otherness, loneliness and meeting the Other as a way of overcoming one’s own lack of self-confidence and fear of being different – are described and analysed. The contents of the performance are studied in order to find in its significant categories present in philosophy of dialogue: “the Other”, “the face”, “the meeting”, “the speech”/ “the word” and “the dialogue”
Results and conclusion. The article shows that such difficult subject as otherness on the one hand and being different on the other, can be shown and discussed within a stage performance as a relatively easy way of transferring to the children the values and demands of social life like openness to differences, openness to dialogue and relations, willingness of meeting Other and building one’s own identity and self-confidence. Mentioned above characteristics seem quite important in Polish increasingly diversifying society.

Kemasan aktif memiliki fungsi yang lebih luas dalam menjaga kualitas suatu produk. Salah satu bahan baku kemasan aktif adalah gelatin dengan penambahan senyawa aktif. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mempelajari karakteristik dan bioaktivitas kemasan aktif dari gelatin ikan ayam-ayam (Abalistes stellaris) dengan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju (Acanthus ilicifolius) sebesar 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% dan 7%. Kemasan aktif yang dihasilkan diamati karakteristik dan bioaktifitasnya yang meliputi ketebalan, kuat tarik, elongasi, transmisi uap air, kadar air, pH, aktivitas antioksidan dan aktivitas antibakteri. Hasil analisa sidik ragam menunjukkan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju berpengaruh nyata (p<0,05) terhadap ketebalan, aktivitas antioksidan dan aktivitas antibakteri dari kemasan aktif berbahan gelatin yang dihasilkan, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata (p>0,05) terhadap kuat tarik, elongasi dan transmisi uap air. Kemasan aktif dari gelatin ikan ayam-ayam dengan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju 7% memiliki ketebalan 143,01 µm, mampu menghambat 65,45% radikal bebas DPPH dan menghasilkan zona hambat bakteri berkisar antara 2,18-2,61 mm. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan gelatin yang terbuat dari kulit dan sisik ikan ayam-ayam dengan penambahan ekstrak daun jeruju memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan menjadi kemasan aktif. AbstractPackaging has an important function in maintaining the quality of product. Active packaging can be made from gelatin as basic material with addition of bioactive substances. The purpose of this research was to study the characteristics and bioactivity of active packaging made from staryy triggerfish (Abalistes stellaris) gelatin incorporated with 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7% of Acanthus ilicifolius leaf extract. The active pakaging was observed for its charateristics and bioactivity including thickness, elongation, tensile strength, water vapor transmission, moisture content, pH, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial activity of active packaging. The statistical analyses showed that the addition of A. ilicifolius leaf extracts significantly affected (p<0.05) the thickness, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial activity of active packaging. Active packaging from fish gelatin containing 7% of A. ilicifolius extract with 143.01 µm thickness, was able to inhibit 65.45% DPPH free radical and resulted in 2.18-2.61 mm inhibition zone. It was suggested that starry triggerfish gelatin and A. ilicifolius leaf extract have a potential to be developed as active packaging.
TREATMENT MODALITIES AND OUTCOMES OF IDIOPATHIC GRANULOMATOUS MASTITIS
Authors: Qadir Azhin , Saeed Kamal 
Published: June 2020

Background
Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is a benign chronic inflammatory breast disease. The etiologies of IGM are presently unclear, that is why treatment is still a challenge, Medical therapy, Wide Local Excision(WLE), abscess drainage, and even mastectomy were introduced to treat this disease.
Objectives
To review clinical, diagnostic features and outcomes of treatments, also to indicate which method can be practical for treatment of IGM.
Patients and Methods
This study is retrospective in which prospectively maintained in Breast Clinic in Sulaimani city. Ninety-three (93) female patients with histopathologically proved IGM and treated from 1st January 2014 till 15th March 2019. Mostly Core needle biopsy(CNB) and excisional biopsy were used for accurate diagnosis. Plans of the treatment were designed according to the presentations and results of the histopathology.
Results
The baseline characteristics of 93 female patients revealed that the average age of the patients was 35.73±7.96 SD years old with the majority of patients (75%) being between 21 and 40 years old. Based on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), Core Needle Biopsy and excisional biopsy, they were diagnosed with Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis. Medical and surgical therapies included use of antibiotic alone in 18(19.3%) cases, steroid in 26(28%) cases, anti-prolactin in 14 (15%) cases. One 1 (1%) of the patients underwent mastectomy, 39 (42%) of them underwent wide local excision after medical treatments failure, and 8 (8.6%) of them who had abscesses were drained. The overall cure rate in both treatment modalities were 75 (81%) and recurrence rate of 18 (19%).
Conclusion
There is still no standard treatment for IGM, the results of this study concluded that wide local excision is the best treatment of choice. Most of the patients do not respond to one treatment modality and recurrence is common; that’s why the disease is called ‘idiopathic.’ Thus, there are no known causes to have an effective treatment modality.
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SERUM TRIGLYCERIDE LEVEL AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Authors: Mahwy Taha , Hamahussien Karokh , Al-Attar Delman 
Published: June 2020

Background
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a long-term metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and a relative lack of insulin. Diabetic kidney disease which is known as diabetic nephropathy is the chronic loss of kidney function occurring in those with diabetes mellitus and is the single strongest predictor of mortality in patients with diabetes. However, in spite of the achievement of recommended targets for blood glucose and blood pressure, the residual risk for diabetic nephropathy remains high among patients with type 2 diabetes. Hypertriglyceridemia may be one of the factors responsible for this high residual risk. Recent studies demonstrated that intra-renal accumulation of lipids may contribute to glomerular injury.
Objectives
This study aimed to find an association between hypertriglyceridemia and chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Patients and Methods
In this cross-sectional study 241 patients evaluated with documented type 2 diabetes mellitus to find any relation between hypertriglyceridemia and chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data collected from 300 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 161 males and 139 females. Of these 59 cases were excluded, 35 males and 24s female patients because of incomplete data was available, with mean age was 54.24 years. laboratory test for measuring fasting (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, urinary albumin, and urinary creatinine) done using COBAS INTEGRA 400 PLUS (Roche), then ACR measured two samples was obtained.
Results
In our study 139 patients had high serum triglyceride level, the other 102 patients had normal serum triglyceride level. 154 patients had normal urine ACR, (n=77, 50.0%) had high triglyceride level, (n=77, 50.0%) had normal triglyceride level, 57 patients had microalbuminuria, (n=42, 73.7%) had high triglyceride level, (n=15, 26.3%) had normal triglyceride level, 30 patients had macroalbuminuria, (n=20, 66.7%) had high triglyceride level , (n=10, 33.3%) had normal triglyceride level, p-value was significant, (p<0.005)
Conclusion
In the current study we found that hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for CKD. Furthermore, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, high HbA1c and duration of diabetes were also identified as risk factors for CKD.
THICK ENDOMETRIUM IN SYMPTOMATIC AND ASYMPTOMATIC POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN: SONOGRAPHIC AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION
Authors: Muhammad Shano , Murad Srwa , Jawad Ariana 
Published: June 2020

Background
Incidence of premalignant and malignant endometrial diseases increase in postmenopausal women.
Objectives
to identify at which endometrial thickness in symptomatic and asymptomatic postmenopausal women endometrial sampling is optimal and cost effective. Besides, use of ultrasound as a screening tool for detection of endometrial pathology.
Materials and Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Sulaymaniyah Maternity Teaching Hospital during April 2018 to April 2019. 100 postmenopausal women with thick endometrium were recruited; 61 women with bleeding and 39 women without symptoms. All women subjected to endometrial biopsy. The results were recorded, T Test and Chi-Squared Test was used to identify statistical differences between the two groups at a P-value of 0.05 and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of endometrial thickness measurement for prediction of endometrial cancer were analyzed.
Results
Endometrial cancer was detected in 16.5% symptomatic women and 5% asymptomatic women. Best cutoff point of endometrial thickness in predicting endometrial carcinoma in symptomatic women was 14.5 mm, which provided 70% sensitivity and 66.7% specificity. Area under curve (AUC) was 0.71, and P-value was 0.32. While in asymptomatic women, cutoff point of endometrial thickness in predicting cancer was 17.25 mm which provided 50% sensitivity and 86.5% specificity. Besides, AUC was 0.49, and P-value was 0.97.
Conclusion
Ultrasound measurement alone for endometrial thickness has no diagnostic value in asymptomatic women at cutoff point of 17.5 mm. Therefore, it is not a good predictor for endometrial cancer; we should consider other ultrasound features and risk factors while assessing symptomatic and asymptomatic postmenopausal women.

Authors: Hasan Karzan , Rashid Jamal , Ghafoor Ibrahim 
Published: June 2020

Background
Hepatitis C infection is a worldwide problem, especially in multi transfused patients including those with Thalassemia. Thalassemia is one of the inherited diseases, in which there is partial or complete failure of globin chain synthesis.
Objectives
To evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in multiple blood transfused children with beta-thalassemia major and related risk factors.
Patients and Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 459 patients (229 males and 230 females) with β-thalassemia major at Sulaimani thalassemia centre from January 2015 to June 2015. Data regarding age, sex, number of blood transfusions, chelating agents and history of splenectomy were obtained. Serum was used for detection of antibodies against hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B surface antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen and, human immunodeficiency virus, also in liver enzymes (Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase) were checked.
Results
Sixty-four (13.9%) patients were found to be seropositive for anti-Hepatitis C virus antibodies; this was correlated with age, sex, history of splenectomy, number of blood transfusions and chelating agents. Liver enzymes were significantly higher in infected patients. The risk of exposure to hepatitis C virus was higher than the hepatitis B virus surface antigen and human immunodeficiency virus among the same patients.
Conclusion
Multi transfused thalassemic patients are at high risk for HCV infection, so more accurate techniques for screening of blood products is suggested.
DIFFERENT CARDIOVASCULAR MANIFESTATIONS OF PRIMARY HYPOTHYROIDISM IN SULAIMANI TEACHING HOSPITAL
Authors: Khaznadar Amanj , Mareay Aiman 
Published: June 2020

Background
Hypothyroidism is a common clinical condition of variable prevalence in different regions that has significant effect on cardiovascular function. Deficiency of thyroid hormones can cause great changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics and regulation of cardiac function. Hypothyroidism directly influences vascular smooth muscles, provokes diastolic hypertension, changes coagulability, and increases the circulation level of highly atherogenic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol particles, which consequently leads to an increase in the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
Objectives
To identify the different cardiovascular manifestations and complications of primary hypothyroidism.
Patients and methods
A cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out at Sulaimani Teaching Hospital in Sulaimani city, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from July, first 2018 to Jun, first 2019. A total number of 103 patients were recruited in the study, of whom, 93 were females and 10 were males. The patients’ age ranged from (19 to 82) years. The patients were grouped based on their age, sex, residency, heart rate, blood pressure, BMI, and presence of other cardiovascular risk factors. All the participants were sent for thyroid function test (thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and T4), electrocardiogram (ECG), and echocardiogram (Echo), with full history and clinical examination had been done.
Results
The total number of cases were (103) patients with primary overt hypothyroidism who received thyroxin therapy. Their age group was between (19 and 82) years with a mean age of 50.99. Female predominance is obvious with a female-to-male ratio of about 9:1. The results showed that the patients’ age, sex, and family history of cardiovascular diseases did not have a significant association with the incidence of hypothyroidism or euthyroid (p>0.05).
Conclusions
Cardiovascular risk factors were found to be associated with euthyroid and hypothyroid. Both electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (Echo) were significantly effective in detecting cardiovascular complications in patients with thyroid disorders. TSH level assessed through thyroid function test was found as the more reliable means of detecting thyroid diseases.

Authors: Ghalib Hawar , Mohammed Dara , Xaznazdr Kanar , Abdullah Khalid 
Published: June 2020

Background
Lymphedema is a limb swelling caused by the accumulation of protein- rich fluid in the body tissues secondary to the disturbance of lymphatic drainage. Moreover, the most common risk factor is the regional treatments for breast cancer.
Objectives
To find out the incidence of lymphedema and the risk factors for development of lymphedema after wide local excision, modified radical mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection and radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
Patients and Methods
This retrospective study of 288 patients with breast cancer collected from Hiwa Oncology Hospital, Zhianawa Cancer Centre and Breast Diseases Center in Sulaimani Governorate who underwent surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy during 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2017. All patients had been followed up for duration of (6 - 36) months. Data were collected from each patient. Breast ultrasonography, mammography, fine needle aspiration cytology, and tru-cut biopsy were collected. The arm circumference of the affected-side was measured ten centimeters above and below supracondylar region and the diagnosis of lymphedema was considered if the arm circumference differences were two centimeters or higher.
Results
The mean ± standard deviation of age (year) was 48.6 ± 10.8 (ranged from 23 to 84) and the majority of the participants were females, with a male to female ratio of (0.03). 74 (25.7%) of the patients were developed lymphedema, 17% of them had lymphedema after surgery, 6.9% of them had lymphedema after radiotherapy and 1.7% of them had lymphedema after both surgery and radiotherapy.
Conclusions
The types of treatment for breast cancer will affect the occurrence of lymphedema especially if the treatment involves the disturbance of lymphatic drainages and there was a statistically significant association with the lymphedema.
