The Great Founder of Medical Science
Get PDFGreat scientists are not born, they become in the process of life. In fact, every person from birth is endowed with certain talents, but not every one of them has an unusually strong character that moves them towards the achievement of goals
The Role of the Vegfa C936t Polymorphism in the Development of Chronic Venous Insufficiency of the Legs And Its Analysis
Get PDFIn 98 patients, an analysis of the genetic risk factor for the development of chronic venous insufficiency was carried out by studying the frequency of distribution of alleles and genotypes of the C936T polymorphism in the VEGFA gene. In both groups, the actual distribution of C807T polymorphism genotypes corresponded to those expected under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p
<0.05). A significant relationship was established between the risk of developing chronic venous insufficiency and the distribution of predisposing/protective variants of the C807T polymorphism genotypes in the VEGFA gene. These data allow us to suggest testing this locus to predict the risk of occurrence and progression of chronic venous insufficiency>
Diagnostic Methods of Premature phenomena of Diabetic Microangiopathy in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Get PDFType 2 diabetes mellitus belongs to the risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases, which are currently the main cause of early disability and mortality in the workingage population. According to Panzram G., diabetes mellitus increases mortality 2-3 times, the risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction - 2 times, kidney pathology - 17 times, gangrene of the lower extremities - 20 times, arterial hypertension - more than three times
Monitoring Insulin and Glucose Levels in Hospital Najaf: A Critical Analysis of Diabetes Management
Get PDFDiabetes mellitus, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both, is a global health concern with increasing prevalence. In the city of Najaf, Iraq, Hospital Najaf plays a pivotal role in managing diabetes cases for a substantial population. Effective diabetes management is critical, as uncontrolled diabetes can lead to a range of complications. Monitoring insulin and glucose levels is pivotal in this context. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively assess diabetes management at Hospital Najaf, encompassing both qualitative and quantitative data sources. Qualitative data was gathered through interviews with healthcare professionals and patients, while quantitative data included the analysis of medical records and surveys. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results reveal significant differences in sugar and insulin levels between healthcare professionals and patients with diabetes, underlining the importance of monitoring and intervention. Patient interviews highlight the need for education and culturally sensitive care. This study's insights aim to contribute to enhanced diabetes management and the well-being of individuals with diabetes in Najaf and beyond
Pharmacognostic Analysis of Medicinal Plants Containing Essential Oils
Get PDFThis review aims to survey the major pharmacognostic plant taxa containing essential oils of pharmaceutical interest. The botanical families covered include Lamiaceae, Rutaceae, Myrtaceae, Zingiberaceae, Apiaceae, and Asteraceae among others. For each family, the major essential oil-bearing genera and species will be discussed along with the characteristic chemical constituents of their volatile oils. The pharmacological activities attributed to these essential oils will also be overviewe
D-dimer as Sensitive parameters in COVID-19 (Study of 200 patients)
Get PDFThe 2019 Chinese flu pandemic has been traced back to a novel virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The 2019 coronavirus illness has been designated as COVID-19. Methods two hundred covid-19 cases were validated by RT PCR in a multi-center, prospective, observational and interventional research. At admission, all patients had their oxygen levels, inflammation marker D-Dimer, and chest HRCT taken. primary emphasis and subsequent dialogue. Age, gender, comorbidities, BIPAP/NIV use, and outcome were recorded, as was the presence or absence of lung fibrosis. Medical professionals can rule out DVT and PTE in some individuals with the help of CT pulmonary angiography and lower limb venous doppler. For statistical purposes, the Chi-square test is applie
The effect of obesity on intraocular pressure in nonglaucomatous eyes
Get PDFSome eye diseases like cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration were reported to have potential relation to obesity. Obesity possesses an increased risk for both elevated intraocular pressure and systemic vascular abnormalities such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis
Anesthetics Used In Therapeutic Dentistry
Get PDFEffective local anesthesia is the basis for pain control in endodontics and therapeutic dentistry. Regardless of the doctor's skills, treatment and management of the patient are difficult or impossible without effective anesthesia. This chapter discusses the pharmacological properties of local anesthetics, the comparative advantages and limitations of various anesthetics and how they are administered. Other chapters of this article provide information on the use of local anesthetics in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with urgent condition
Nasal obstruction and productive cough in a 12 years old girl in Basrah, Iraq; the diagnosis of Kartagener syndrome is established.
No full textKartagener syndrome (KS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by ciliary dyskinesia that causes defects in the action of ciliary movement affecting the nose, paranasal sinuses, lung and others. The syndrome comprises of triad situs inversus, chronic sinusitis with some times nasal polyposis and bronchiectasis. Kartagener syndrome regarded as a subset of the primary ciliary dyskinesia which manifested early in life with frequent respiratory infections, frequent sinus infections, frequent ear infections, chronic nasal congestion and Sino nasal polyposis and male infertilit
Improvement of Surgical Tactics for Bile Effluvium and Biliary Peritonitis After Cholecystectomy
No full textThe paper analyzes the results of surgical treatment of 5247 patients for various forms of GCB. Bile flow and bile peritonitis in the postoperative period were observed in 93 patients due to "small" injuries (aberrant hepatic-bladder ducts of the gallbladder bed - Lyuschka passages, leakage of the stump of the cystic duct, drainage loss from the choledoch) and damage to the main bile ducts ("large" damage.) Improvement of therapeutic and diagnostic tactics in patients with chole circulation after HE allowed to significantly improve the results of treatment in the main group, where complications in the immediate postoperative period amounted to 8.1%, in the long term - 5.4%, mortality was not observed (in the comparison period - 17.8% and 14.2%, respectively, mortality - 3.6%)
