Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

The clinical presentation of COVID-19 varies greatly from case to another, with host characteristics playing a pivotal role. The immune system is a pivotal function in establishing the course of SARS-COV-2 infection. Severe instances of COVID-19 and the resulting death are caused less by the virus itself than by the destructive unrestrained immune response. Among the host determinants for poor disease prognosis is probably genetic vulnerability to dysregulated immune response. The objective of this work is to examine some of the host genetic variables that are being studied in relation to the severity of COVID-19. The complex relationship between autoimmunity …

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

Different genetic and environmental variables contribute to the complicated condition known as essential hypertension. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is thought to play a role in controlling blood pressure. In the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), the AGT is a protein that binds to renin to create angiotensin I, the prohormone of angiotensin II. It is angiotensin II (Ang II)'s precursor, angiotensinogen (AGT), that is responsible for its biological effects.

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

The reactive signaling molecule sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays a vital function in many biological processes that encompass cell development. In addition, it has been linked to bone resorption and formation. Based on its biological effects on osteoclastic and osteoblastic cells and immune cells, S1P has recently been discovered as a mediator and biomarker in inflammatory bone disorders such as osteoporosis and inflammatory osteolysis. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) may play a role in developing periodontitis, an inflammatory disorder that destroys bone. This study aims to evaluate the salivary level of S1P in periodontitis.
