<![CDATA[This study was a case/control study in which a total of (450) subjects, into (150) with primary headache ( male and female) and this was included in this study, 128 with migraine headache, 22 with non-migraine headache and 300 were normal, as control group. The electrophysiological tests were done at the neurophysiology unit of Mirjan Teaching hospital in Babylon City, during the period from 28 / October/ 2014 until 22 / May/2015. This study reveals that involvement of the migraine are more than that of the non-migraine in headache patients when compared with control group and when compared between the migraine and non-migraine headache patients. The most common EEG changes in headaches patients were diffuse slowing and spike wave of back ground activity, in such a way that 54 (42.2%) migraine patients had abnormal EEG changes, in comparison to 4 (18.2%) of non-migraine patients. Visual evoked potential (VEP) was dependable marker for central nervous system affection in primary headache (migraine and non-migraine ) and the most common abnormalities were prolonged latency and amplitude is stay in normal ranged (5-10) µ.volt.]]>

<![CDATA[The transcription repressor protein ZBTB7 (FBI1, BTB-ZF protein LRF) known as a Pokemon is critical factor in oncogenesis which is encoded by ZBTB7 gene. ZBTB7 processes by controlling the pathways that are required to transform normal cell to cancerous one. It produces its effects by repressing the function of other proteins including a tumor suppressor protein ARF leading to lymphomas and other oncogenic effects and present in very high level in certain type of B cell. So the structural study of the translation product of this gene is an important task to know about the carcinoferous effect of ZBTB7 along with their interactive pattern with co-repressor which prone transcription repression by stopping the activity of transcription factors. In the present project DNA binding domain of ZBtB7 gene’s cDNA is developed and cloned into suitable yeast vector.]]>

<![CDATA[Purpose of the Study: To provide a normative data for macular thickness in healthy Iraqi eyes using Zeiss cirrus HD-OCT and to determine the effects of age and gender on their measurements. Materials and Methods: Two hundred healthy adult volunteers (?20 years), four hundred eyes underwent macular cube scanning using Zeiss cirrus-HD OCT. Macular thickness from all 9 regions of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study map was documented for each subject. Variations in macular thickness by age and gender were determined. Results: The mean age of volunteers was 37±10.4 (range 21-67)years. The mean of central foveal thickness was 254.6±17.3Mm, the mean macular thickness was 279.0 ± 10.7 Mm, and the macular volume was 10.0 ± 0.4 mm3.Females were found to have a significantly thinner macula (P< 0.001) than males in all 9 ETDRS regions except outer inferior quadrant. Central foveal thickness was found to have very weak correlation with age which was not statistically significant. All other macular regions, mean macular thickness and volume showed statistically significant nonlinear reduction with age(p value<0.001).]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effectiveness of an education program on primary school teachers’ knowledge toward mumps disease and to identify the relationship between the primary school teachers’ knowledge and some demographic variables. Quantitative research a quasi-experimental design (pre-post tests) has been used in the present study for the period of January 2018 to the end of June 2019. A nonprobability (purposive sample) sample of 60 teachers has been selected from 30 primary schools in Holy Kerbala City. The sample of the study was divided into two groups: (30) teachers for the study group, who have been exposed to the education program, and (30) teachers for the control group, who not exposed to the education program. The groups are almost matched relative to their characteristics. The questionnaire was submitted to the teachers for the pre-test before the implementation of the program. Post-test I was conducted immediately after that. Post-test II was conducted two months later. The findings of the data analysis indicate that the teachers’ knowledge among the study group improves as a result of the implementation of the education program. Among the control group, there is no significant difference in the level of teachers’ knowledge. The study recommends the cooperation between the Ministry of Education with the Ministry of Health to develop a national plan regarding mumps and other communicable diseases to raise the awareness of the school community (students, teaching, and non?teaching staff, and parents) regarding this diseases.]]>

<![CDATA[Cement industry is considered one of the serious pollutants in the environment inducing different kinds of health problems among workers. However, there have been few studies examining the adverse effects of cement dust on the levels of electrolytes and osmolality among workers. In the current study, we investigated the potential impacts of the cement dust on the levels of electrolytes and osmolality in both serum and urine among workers of Kufa Cement Factory. The workers were grouped into three groups according to their departments. The workers, who were aged between 38-48 years, were grouped into oven workers (N=20), mills workers (N=16) and control workers (N=22). While workers who were aged between 49-59 years, were also grouped into oven workers (N=14), mills workers (N=13) and control workers (N=9). Serum and urine samples were collected from all studied subjects. Regardless of age groups, the results showed that the levels of serum sodium and potassium were significantly increased among workers at the oven and mills departments compared to the control. While the levels of blood serum calcium and osmolality were significantly reduced among workers at the oven and mills departments compared to control group. In the urine samples, the levels of sodium were significantly higher among oven workers compared to the findings in both mills and control. While the levels of calcium and osmolality were significantly higher in both oven and mills workers compared to the control.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: An acute kidney injury (AKI) is a recognized complication in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by several mechanisms and it adversely affects morbidity and mortality on long-term bases (1, 2, and 3). Few studies have investigated which patients with STEMI are at risk of developing AKI (6), and this study is aiming to do this assessment. Patients and Methods: We enrolled patients with STEMI who were admitted to the CCU. KDIGO definitions was utilized to search for development of AKI in these patients throughout their stay in the CCU (their baseline serum creatinine was measured and traced daily thereafter; and their urine output was monitored). Common epidemiological and some relevant medical parameters were recorded for all patients. Results and conclusion: low baseline systolic blood pressure, ejection fraction % and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); in addition to use of diuretics; are the major risk factors for the development of AKI in the setting of STEMI.]]>
