Bladder Mucosal Pathological Changes Accompany High Grade And Squamous Cell Bladder Tumors, Jassim Mohammad Alkhazraji

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Carcinoma of the bladder is the second most common cancer in Iraq. The status of the bladder urothelium other than the principal lesions can provide distinct diagnostic information with regard to treatment response and outcome. Positive mucosal biopsy results are a significant indicator of intravesical recurrence. Currently, in our urological practice, the importance of performing this step in cystoscopy is relatively underestimated. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to carry out a histological assessment of 'extra-tumor' bladder mucosa for dysplasia, and correlate the resulting findings of dysplasia with the grade, the type, and the macroscopic appearance of …

Medico-Legal Applications Of Multiplex Str System To Show Allel Frequencies Of D16s 539, D13s317, And D7s820 In Iraqis, Hussein Mahmood Gazi, Mohammed Shafik Tawfeek, Nabeel Ghazi Hashim, Hayder Hadi Lazim

Effects Of Herbs – Containing Phytoestrogens On Rat Testis: A Histological, Histochemical And Biochemical Study, Malak A. Al-Yawer

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Estrogens has traditionally been known as the female hormone, but this idea has been challenged in early 1990’s and an essential physiological role for estrogen in male fertility was identified. Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring non-steroidal plant chemicals that can act like the female hormone estrogen. The herbs ( anise alfalfa and vervain ) chosen in this study contain phytoestrogens. OBJECTIVE: Previous studies demonstrated controversy of the effects of phytoestrogens on the rat testes .Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to investigate the influence of typical dose of herbs containing phytoestrogen on the rat testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-four …

Undifferentiated (Embryonal) Sarcoma Of The Liver. Case Report And Review Of Literature Mohammed S. Saeed, Abstract, Issraa A. Hussein, Osama E. Hudder, Thukaa T. Yahya

Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal

ABSTRACT: Undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver was first defined as a separate clinicopathological entity in 1978. it is uncommon hepatic tumor of mesenchymal origin, usually observed in children and teenage, but also infrequently encounter in adult. It represent about 9-15% of all hepatic tumor in children. We report a case of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver in a 6 year old girl who presented with non specific right hypochondrial pain and mass with fever. Laboratory studies of the liver function were normal and the other tests were non specific. Ultrasonography and CT scan showed a large heterogeneous mass …

Biphasic Targeting And Cleavage Furrow Ingression Directed By The Tail Of A Myosin Ii, X. Fang, J. Y. Luo, R. Nishihama, C. Wloka, C. Dravis, M. Travaglia, M. Iwase, Elizabeth Ann Vallen, E. Bi

Biology Faculty Works

Cytokinesis in animal and fungal cells utilizes a contractile actomyosin ring (AMR). However, how myosin II is targeted to the division site and promotes AMR assembly, and how the AMR coordinates with membrane trafficking during cytokinesis, remains poorly understood. Here we show that Myo1 is a two-headed myosin II in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and that Myo1 localizes to the division site via two distinct targeting signals in its tail that act sequentially during the cell cycle. Before cytokinesis, Myo1 localization depends on the septin-binding protein Bni5. During cytokinesis, Myo1 localization depends on the IQGAP Iqg1. We also show that the Myo1 …

Energy Expenditure And Physical Activity In Recovering Malnourished Infants, Russell Rising, Gul Tiryaki Sonmez

Publications and Research

Background. Malnourished infants are small for age and weight. Objectives. Determine profiles in 24-hour energy metabolism in recovering malnourished infants and compare to similarly aged healthy controls. Methods. 10 malnourished infants (58.1 ± 5.9 cm, 7.7 ± 5.6 months) were healthy prior to spending 22 hours in the Enhanced Metabolic Testing Activity Chamber for measurement of EE (kcal/min), sleeping metabolic rate (SMR; kcal/min), respiratory quotient (RQ; VCO2/VO2), and physical activity (PA; oscillations in wt/min/kg body weight). Metabolic data were extrapolated to 24 hours (kcal/kg/d). Energy intake (kcal/kg/d) and the proportions (%) of carbohydrate, protein, and fat were calculated. Anthropometrics for …

A Multifactorial Mechanism In The Superior Antimalarial Activity Of Α-C-Galcer, John Schmieg, Guangli Yang, Richard W. Franck, Moriya Tsuji

Publications and Research

We have previously shown that the C-glycoside analog of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), α-C-GalCer, displays a superior inhibitory activity against the liver stages of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii than its parental glycolipid, α-GalCer. In this study, we demonstrate that NK cells, as well as IL-12, are a key contributor for the superior activity displayed by α-C-GalCer. Surprisingly, the diminished production of Th2 cytokines, including IL-4, by α-C-GalCer has no affect on its superior therapeutic activity relative to α-GalCer. Finally, we show that the in vivo administration of α-C-GalCer induces prolonged maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), as well as an enhanced …

An Fpga-Based System For Tracking Digital Information Transmitted Via Peer-To-Peer Protocols, Karl R. Schrader, Barry E. Mullins, Gilbert L. Peterson, Robert F. Mills

Faculty Publications

This paper presents a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based tool designed to process file transfers using the BitTorrent Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocol and VoIP phone calls made using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The tool searches selected control messages in real time and compares the unique identifier of the shared file or phone number against a list of known contraband files or phone numbers. Results show the FPGA tool processes P2P packets of interest 92% faster than a software-only configuration and is 97.6% accurate at capturing and processing messages at a traffic load of 89.6 Mbps.

A Memory Saving Vector Fast Multipole Algorithm For Solving The Augmented Efie, Yang G. Liu, Weng Cho Chew, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

An augmented EFIE (A-EFIE)[9], [10] has been proposed to separate the contributions of the vector potential and the scalar potential for avoiding the imbalance at low frequencies. The corresponding low frequency fast multipole algorithm (LFFMA) [11] was also developed for solving the A-EFIE. Instead of the factorization of the scalar Green's function by using scalar addition theorem in the LF-FMA, we adopt the vector addition theorem for the factorization of the dyadic Green's function to realize memory savings. We are to develop a vector fast multipole algorithm for solving the A-EFIE. © 2010 IEEE.
