Determination of IL-12 and IL-35 Serum Levels and their Gene Polymorphisms in Kurdish Women with Breast Cancer in Erbil City

ABSTRACT      Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in breast tissue alter and divide uncontrolled, typically resulting in lump. Most of them are begin in the lobules or in the ducts that connect lobules to the nipple. Increased expression of some genes due to polymorphisms increases the risk of breast cancer incidence.      […]

Roles of Endothelin-1 and Urotensin-II in Vascular Dysfunction of Type II Diabetic Patients: an in vitro and in vivo study

SUMMARY The current research was designed to investigate the cellular mechanisms of the two most powerful vasoconstrictors; Endothelin-I (ET-1) and Urotensin-II (UII), and their incorporation in diabetes mellitus type II disease (T2DM) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), as well as, measuring their levels beside enzymes and related metabolites. Two main parts

New iterative methods for solving Cauchy problems governed by Helmholtz-type equations

Abstract        It is in the problematic of solving inverse problems governed by Helmholtz type equations that this thesis takes place. The objective is  to compute the solution of the Cauchy problem for the Helmholtz equation without constraint on the wave number.        One of the most widespread approaches in the simulation of Cauchy problems

Natural Radioactivity and Dose Assessment in Plant Fertilizers Used in Iraqi Kurdistan Region and Its Environmental Impacts

Summary The present study is to determine the activity concentration of radioactive nuclide in plant fertilizers used in agriculture in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and to estimate their radiological impact of long-term exposure due to their application. The high- purity germanium detector (HPGe) gamma spectrometer was used to determine the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in

Intelligent System for Screening Diabetic Retinopathy Stages Using Vessel Segmentation Technique and Neutrosophic Based Statistical Features

SUMMARY Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common vascular problems. It causes due to the abnormal growth of blood vessels that may lead to blindness if it is not treated properly in early stages. Usually, the early signs cannot be seen by manual intervention until it reaches an advanced stage as well as

Modeling Three Dimensional Bubble Dynamics Near Rigid Boundaries Using Boundary Integral Method

ABSTRACT High speed liquid jet forms when a bubble collapses near a solid boundary. In this study, three-dimensional gas and acoustic bubble oscillation between two curved rigid plates are modeled based on the potential flow theory using boundary integral method (BIM). The bubble is incepted at different locations between the plates to investigate the eccentricity

Numerical Study on the Thermal Dynamics of Gold Nanoparticles in Laser-Induced Hyperthermia for Breast Tumor Therapy

SUMMARY Laser hyperthermia treatment of cancer tissue is widely used in cancer treatment to destroy cancer cells. This study focused on the temperature profile heat transfer in breast tumor to minimize the damage of the tissues resulting from extra heat applied. Gold nanoparticle-assisted laser was used to investigate the influence of nanoparticles on the spatial distribution
