The Relationship Between Blood groups and Coronary Artery Diseases
No full textPurpose: To access the association between blood groups and coronary artery diseases, and to determine the causes that lead to this association. Methods: Ninety persons included in the study, 60 as patients group which are suffering from coronary artery diseases and 30 as controls group which are healthy and free from the diseases. The blood groups was analyzed and divided each group into four groups according to the blood groups, also the level of lipids in the blood measured by spectrophotometer. Results: The results of the study show that blood group O predominates in both studied group (patients and controls) in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf city followed by A, B, and AB. The statistical analysis of the study shows the blood group AB of patients and blood group B of controls have a significant increment (P<0.05) in the serum level of total cholesterol. Also, the blood groups B and AB of patients have a significant increment in serum level of triglycerides. The blood group A of patients and blood group B of controls show a significant increment in the LDL cholesterol level, while blood groups A and B of patient have a significant reduction in HDL cholesterol serum level.Conclusions: The results of the study show that the blood group O is the most blood group in the Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf city, followed by blood group A, B, and AB. There is a high percentage of lipids level disturbance in the subjects of the blood groups (A, B, and AB). Also, there is a significant relation between blood groups (A, B, and AB) with the disturbance of the serum lipids levels which was associated with atherosclerosis disease, that was considered one of the most important risk factor that leading to the coronary artery diseases

EVALUATION OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY FOR DRINKING PURPOSE IN BASRAHGOVERNORATE BY USING APPLICATION OF WATER QUALITY INDEX
No full textThis study aims to apply Water Quality Index (WQI) to evaluate quality of groundwater samples collected from Basrah governorate south of Iraq. The samples were collected from (29) wells located in different districts of Basrah governorate (Safwan, Zubair, and Um-Qasr) during Summer Season of 2015. The groundwater samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids and other major ions. For calculating WQI, eleven parameters; pH, EC, TDS, Total hardness as CaCO3, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphate, Chloride, Nitrate, Sodium, and Potassium have been considered. The suitability of groundwater in the study area for human drinking purpose was achieved by WQI depending on guideline values of World Health Organization (WHO 2011) for chemical parameters. Then, the weights (Wi) were assigned to the parameters based on their influence on human health. The results showed that the (WQI) values for the groundwater of study area varied from poor to unsuitable for human drinking purpose

Study of the effect of age, gender and seasonal variation on appendicitis in Azizyah-Iraq
No full textAppendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition of the abdomen. The rate of acute appendicitis varies among countries. Declining rates of acute appendicitis have been reported in the United States and Europe. However, the frequency appears to be increasing in the developing countries. Age, gender and seasonal variations of acute appendicitis have been observed in many studies, but the reasons for these variations are not clear. Although acute appendicitis is a common surgical condition, little is known about its epidemiology in Iraq. Statistical analysis was done for 400 patients diagnosed as cases of appendicitis during a two year period from January 2013 to December 2014, treated in Azizyah hospital. Data were analyzed for age, sex, and season (month of admission).A total of 400 patients were diagnosed as cases of appendicitis. Appendicitis was more common in males (n=224, 56%) than females (n=176, 44%) with male to female ratio of 1.27:1, Highest rates of appendicitis was found in the age group of 10 to 19 years (n=158, 39.5%) and the lowest was 50 and more (n=11, 2.75%). Acute appendicitis high incident in November and December and lowest in June and July but it was high in March and April in teenage group.In the current study clear differences in the frequencies of appendicitis were noted the appendicitis has clear seasonality with highest rates in winter and spring season. Appendicitis rates were found to be higher in male gender than female. The prevalence peaks in teen age grou
