Introduction. Nephrometric scales have been developed to determine the appropriate surgical tactics and to predict intraoperative values more accurately, considering the characteristics of the renal tumour. However, there is a need to assess the perinephric fat. The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) scale aims to identify adherent perinephric fat (APF) or 'complex' paranephric fat preoperatively.Objective. To evaluate the effect of APF on intraoperative and functional outcomes of patients with renal cell cancer (RCC) who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Materials & methods. We analysed 118 patients with localised RCC who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. At the preoperative stage, according to the results of contract-enhanced msCT, the presence of APF was assessed using the MAP scale. At the same time, the thickness of the posterior perinephric fat was measured and the grade of its twisting was assessed. As a result, the patients were divided into two groups: group 1 MAP 0 – 2 pts (no APF) 34 patients and group 2 MAP 3 – 5 pts (presence of APF) 84 patients. In each group, the following indicators were assessed: stage according to the TNM classification, mean age and BMI, average nephrometry score according to the R.E.N.A.L. system, glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Results. The median surgery time for group 1 patients was 115.0 [92.5; 142.5] min, for group 2 — 130.0 [101.3; 180.0] min. The median warm ischemia time in patients in group 1 was 15 [0; 20] min, in group 2 — 12 [0; 18] min. The median blood loss in the groups 1 and 2 was 50 [15; 100] and 50 [0; 100] ml, respectively. The mean GFR on the first day after surgery was 63.34 ± 18.40 ml/min/1.73 m2 in group 1 and 55.09 ± 16.01 ml/min/1.73 m2 in group 2. Openings of the pyelocalyceal system were observed in 8 (23.53%) and 23 (27.38%) patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively. A positive surgical margin was detected one patient in group 1 and two in group 2. Early postoperative complications in group 1 were four patients and group 2 — 15 patients.Conclusion. The presence of APF and its severity can be effectively assessed using the MAP score, which is promising, but is limited only to the prognostic of APF without correlation with nephrometric scales that assess tumour anatomy parameters. However, the issue of developing a unified assessment system that includes APF and kidney morphometry is currently open, and the definition of APF is still subjective and requires an objective analysis to obtain more accurate outcomes.

Introduction. With a depressingly high prevalence of chronic cystitis (it is believed that half of women suffer from acute cystitis at least once in their lives), there is still no clarity on this disease. We were unable to find any studies on the anthropometric characteristics of patients with chronic cystitis either in the domestic or in the English literature.Objective. To assess the anthropometric characteristics of patients with chronic recurrent cystitis.Material & methods. A prospective multicenter cohort study included 91 patients with symptoms of acute cystitis. All underwent anthropometric measurements, analyzed complaints, studied anamnesis morbi et vitae, performed a study on a gynecological chair; urine was sent for general analysis and bacteriological examination for nonspecific microflora with the determination of the sensitivity of the isolated pathogen to antimicrobial drugs. The patients answered questions about the Russian version of the Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS). A urethra and cervical canal smear was studied using the polymerase chain reaction method to identify the causative agents of sexually transmitted infections. The diagnosis was considered confirmed in the presence of leukocyturia, bacteriuria, and the sum of symptoms on the ACSS scale was 6 or more.Results. The duration of chronic recurrent cystitis was averaged at 7.1 ± 4.2 years. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 49 years, averaging 28.9 ± 3.9 years. The height ranged from 150 cm to 178 cm, on average 165.9 ± 7.1 cm. The average weight was within the normal range: 64.2 ± 6.1 kg. However, the spread in the cohort by body weight was two-fold: from 42 to 86 kg. Overweight was found in five (5.5%) patients; two patients (2.2%), on the contrary, had a body weight deficit. When analyzing anthropometric indicators, along with the obvious ones (direct dependence of the duration of the disease on the age of the patient; direct dependence of the quality of life on the severity of symptoms), other statistically significant correlations were established: a positive relationship between age and weight, weight and duration of the disease.Conclusion. The analysis showed that overweight women respond to treatment worse, they have a longer history of cystitis. Neither typical symptoms nor ACSS score correlated with any of the anthropometric measures.

Introduction. Premature ejaculation (PE) is the second most common male sexual dysfunction with a significant negative impact on quality of life. A significant number of conservative and surgical methods for the treatment of PE are proposed, but their effectiveness and, in some cases, safety, remain the subject of discussion.Objective. To study the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency impulse neuromodulation (RPN) with different modes on the penile dorsal nerve in treatment of patients with premature ejaculation.Materials & methods. Two groups of PE-patients participated in a prospective multicenter study: Group 1 — 11 patients aged 22 – 34 years; Group 2 — 12 patients aged 23 – 34 years. Group 1 received pulsed RPN at a temperature of 42°C, a stimulation frequency of 2 Hz, 45 V, and a duration of 180 seconds; in Group 2 — pulsed RPN at a temperature of 50 °C and the same frequency and duration of stimulation as Group 1. All patients before and after treatment measured intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) and completed a premature ejaculation profile (PEP). The results were evaluated after 30 days.Results. In both groups, there was a statistically significant increase in IEDT and PEP. Thus, in Group 1, IELT increased from 58 to 101.9 seconds, PEP from 3.8 to 12.6 points. In Group 2, IELT increased from 66.5 to 210.9 seconds, PEP from 3.2 to 12.6 points. At the same time, in Group 2, IELT increased by 107% more than in Group 1. No significant side effects were observed in both groups.Conclusion. RPN appears to be a very promising treatment for premature ejaculation, as it is a minimally invasive, safe, and reversible procedure. The technique of influencing the penile dorsal nerve at an electrode temperature of 50 °C compared to 42 °C seems to be more effective, however, additional studies are needed.

Electrochemical removal of copper from synthetic wastewater using rotating cylinder electrode
Authors: Slaiman Qasim J. M. , Haweel Cecilia K. , Mohammed Suha A. 
Published: July 2023

The performance of a batch undivided electrochemical reactor with a rotating cylinder electrode of woven-wire (60 mesh size), stainless steel 316, is examined for the removal of copper from synthetic solution of o.5 M sodium chloride containing 125 ppm at pH ≈ 3.5. The effect of total applied current, rotation speed on the figures of merit of the reactor is analyzed. For an applied current of 300 mA at 100 rpm, the copper concentration decreased from 125 to mg l-1 after 60 min of electrolysis with a specific energy consumption of 1.75 kWh kg-1 and a normalized space velocity of 1.62 h-1. The change in concentration was higher when the total applied currents were increased because of the turbulence-promoting action of the hydrogen evolution. The results suggest that the applied current must represent a compromise between the increase in space time yield or normalized space velocity and the increase in the specific energy consumption.

Authors: Alhaleem Ayad A. 
Published: July 2023

Drilling with casing (DWC) can be considered as a modern drilling technique in which both of drilling and casing operations done in the same time by using the casing to transfer the hydraulic and mechanical power to the bit instead of traditional drilling string. To overcome oil well control, minimizing the total cost through enhancing drilling efficiency, drilling with casing was proposed as an enabling technology.
Two surface sections (17 1/2 - and 12 1/4- inch) were drilled successfully in Rumaila oil field with casing strings which reached 655m and 1524m measured depths respectively.
By using DWC technique, the total drill/case phase time was reduced up to 20% comparing to conventional drilling in the same field .
Drilling both sections with DWC system eliminating the number of trips and nonproductive time (NPT) related to wellbore instability.
Evaluation of Acid and Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment in Halfaya Oil Field-Sadi Formation
Authors: Al-Sudani Jalal Abdulwahid , Husain Khalid Munaf 
Published: July 2023

Sadi formation is one of the main productive formations in some of Iraqi oil fields. This formation is characterized by its low permeability values leading to low production rates that could be obtained by the natural flow.
Thus, Sadi formation in Halfaya oil field has been selected to study the success of both of "Acid fracturing" and "Hydraulic fracturing" treatments to increase the production rate in this reservoir.
In acid fracturing, four different scenarios have been selected to verify the effect of the injected fluid acid type, concentration and their effect on the damage severity along the entire reservoir.
The reservoir damage severity has been taken as "Shallow–Medium– Severe" and (Medium–Severe-sallow) for better fluid invasion.
While, in hydraulic fracturing, a three cases have been selected using three different main fracturing fluid and three different proppant size and types, to verify their effects on fracturing efficiency, and dimensionless fracture conductivity.
The results show that both treatments have successful results, but the hydraulic fracturing gives about (1.5) times greater than acid fracturing.
However, the maximum dimensionless fracture conductivity reached by all the treatments was about (Fcd = 4) , with fracture efficiency reached to (82%).

BACKGROUND: The evaluation and treatment of patients with low back pain (LBP) often involve categorization based on movement direction. However, it is not certain whether the lumbar spine and hip motion angles are associated with movement direction in individuals with LBP. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to verify whether the motion angles of the lumbar spine and hip joint are associated with the movement direction in individuals with LBP. METHODS: Participants were recruited as volunteers at the authors’ institutions. In this cross-sectional observational study, participants were divided into two groups: those without LBP and those with LBP. To measure lumbar spine and hip motion angles in clinical movement tests (trunk forward bending and prone hip extension), those with LBP were divided into a flexion LBP group and an extension LBP group. Wearable sensors were used to measure lumbar spine and hip motion angles. RESULTS: Participants with LBP had a greater hip motion angle in the early stages of movement than that of those without LBP; this was associated with the movement direction in which pain appeared. CONCLUSIONS: In individuals with LBP, the motion angles of the lumbar spine and hip joint are associated with the movement direction. Therefore, this pain subgroup and associated movement direction should be considered when evaluating and treating individuals with LBP.
