Abstract

Background: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the world. More than 17 millionpeople die each year as a result of myocardial infarctions. Post-mortem histochemical detection of earlymyocardial infarction using 2,3,5-Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride (TTC) technique is based on the factthat ischemic myocardial cells lose their membrane integrity and release dehydrogenase enzyme into theblood stream, resulting in decrease or total depletion of these enzymes within the necrotic areas of themyocardium, and so, after immersion in TTC solution, enzyme depleted necrotic myocardium will notretain TTC dye and therefore appears as pale/yellow areas. Materials and Methods: This prospectivepostmortem study was conducted at Medicolegal Directorate in Baghdad city during the period fromMarch 2020 to December 2020. Myocardial specimens were isolated from 75 cases of sudden natural deathand were subjected to 1% TTC solution staining for gross assessment, and subsequently, tissue samples weretaken from suspected areas, processed and stained with H&E for histopathological evaluation and detectionof a possible acute myocardial infarction. Results: The mean age of studied cases was 50.3 ±12.57 years,ranging from 18 to 78 years, median age was 53 years. Males constituted the majority of cases (80%). Caseswere predominantly within 40-59 years age group (58%). The postmortem interval was ranging from 2 to17 hours (mean= 8.6 ±3.6 hours). After immersion in 1% TTC solution, 45 myocardial specimens showedmacroscopic pale/yellow areas which were indicative of acute myocardial infarcts within the ventricularwall, while histopathological examination of specimens revealed features of acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in 62 specimens. TTC stain was found to have a diagnostic sensitivity of 69.4% and specificity of76.9% in postmortem detection of AMI. Conclusion: The TTC technique allows identification of earlymyocardial necrosis. It’s practical, reliable and valid method that promises to be of considerable value. Itcan be used together with histopathology for postmortem detection of visually unapparent acute myocardialinfarcts.

Abstract

Background: All available data indicate that the thyroid of the guinea pig fetus is capable of functioningindependently of that of the mother . Therefor fetal thyroid function is necessary for normal growth in utero.Intrauterine adaptation to the outside environment is important mechanism via which fetus increases thechance to thrive after birth. Aim and Objective of this work to assess the plasma level of thyroxin (T4) andTriiodothyronine (T3) through most period of pregnancy in fetal and maternal guinea pigs. Materials andMethods: Blood samples collected from 51pregnant guinea pigsand their fetuses(93), by the Cobase 411device produced by, Roche com. and it works with technology Electro, Plasma T4 and T3 were measured byChemiLuminescence immune-assay. Results: Fetal plasma Thyroxin (T4) concentration was greater thanthat of the mother between Results 50 and 62 days of gestation while fetal plasma T3 concentration was lessthan that of the mother throughout gestation. In fetalguinea pig the reciprocal relationship between pituitaryand thyroid is established at approximately day 34-35 of gestation. Conclusion: Theresults indicated thatthe fetal pituitary–thyroid system (PTS) is functioning at a relatively high level than that of the maternal,starting few days beforethe second half of pregnancy .Thyroid hormones are important for fetal growth andmaturation event.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a medical condition defined as a reduction in kidney function, made known byglomerular filtration rate of a less than 60 mL/min per 1·73 m², or signs of kidney impairment (albuminuria),or both for at least three months period, nevertheless of the original cause.Diuretic resistance in the edematous patient is defined as a clinical state in which diuretic response isdiminished or lost before the therapeutic goal of relief from edema has been reached.This study aims to find the effect of different drugs on kidney functionindices and the relationship of usingthese drugs with the development or improvement of diuretic resistance.The study is a cross-sectional observational study. It was carried out at Al-Hussein-Teaching Hospital inThi-Qar. Nasiriya. Data from 104 patients were collected and analyzed using different statistical methods.The results showed that there was a different odd of effects of the drugs commonly used to patients withCKD due to other comorbidities on diuretic resistance indices. There was a significant increase in the bodyweight and decline in serum urea in patients already with edema when they used calcium ampoule. Serumurea was not affected by any of the other studied drugs. There were two drugs affected positively on serumcreatinine, which are clopidogrel and heparin. Albuminuria was highly improved in patients receivingaspirin and atorvastatin. Clopidogrel significantly increased GFR in these patients.

Abstract

Background: Evidence suggest avoidance of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) in aspirinintolerantasthmatics due to the risk of triggering exacerbation attack; however, evidence around avoidingNSAIDs in all other asthmatic patients are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the evidence surroundingthe safety of using NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors, among asthmatic patients.Methods: A systematic review used Medline (OVID), Scopus and Embasefrom January-2008 toJanuary-2019. Inclusion criteria includedEnglish, and human studies that evaluated the use of NSAID inasthmatics. Data was screened/extracted using a pre-designed data extraction form using Covidence®,thenwere critically appraised.Conclusion: Of the 49 identified studies,eight were eligible. Prevalence of NSAID-induced asthmaexacerbation was 9%(95%CI:6.0–12.0%)-9.9% (95%CI:9.4-10.5%). Asthmatics who were aspirin/NSAIDintolerant had 37% higher risk of hospitalisation compared to tolerant patients (RR:1.37; 95%CI:1.12–1.67).Use of COX-2 inhibitors showed non-significant associations with worsening respiratory symptoms/exacerbation. Only low-quality evidence was found for the safety of topical NSAID. NSAIDs-inducedrespiratory reactions/symptoms is relatively uncommon with the majority of asthmatic patients couldtolerate NSAIDs therapy. Asthmatic patients who suffer from aspirin-induced asthma or NSAIDsexacerbatedrespiratory disease (NSAIDs intolerant) should be avoided NSAIDs prescribing but could besafely prescribed selective COX-2 inhibitors as an alternative.

Abstract

Acetamiprid (ACMP) can cause neurotoxicity and induces neuronal apoptosis. The ameliorative effects ofMoringa Oleifera (MO) seed extract against the neurotoxicity induced by ACMP in adult male albino ratswere investigated. Forty male albino rats were divided into 4 equal groups. The first group served as a control,the second group administered ACMP 26.8mg/kg b.w. (representing 1/10 LD50) by gavage. The third groupwas given combination of ACMP 26.8 mg/kg b.w. and MO seed extract 150 mg/kg b.w. the fourth group wasgiven MO extract only 150 mg/kg b.w. for 28 consecutive days. Results proved the efficacy of MO extractas a neuroprotective agent through the reduction of the oxidant parameter malondialdhyde (MDA) contentby 26.9%, significant increase of reduced glutathione content (GSH) by 21.4%, and elevation of catalase(CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities by (62.2% and 40.8%) respectively, compared to ACMPintoxicated group. Consequently, gene expression analysis for Bax and NBN genes was downregulatedby 54.5% and 36.3% respectively in MO treated rats (group III) compared with ACMP intoxicated group.Moreover, restoration of the pathological tissue injuries was noticed. In conclusion, MO proved to be aneffective neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic agent against ACMP-induced toxicity.
