Toxoplasmosis is the general term for infection and disease in man and animal caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, this disease is prevalent among different categories of people, Heart disease are one of them. Because of the dormancy status of T. gondii, there is ambiguity and variation in the immunity of patients. This study aimed to investigate the immune status of heart disease patients infected with toxoplasmosis. Two hundred and fifty samples of both heart disease patients and controls had been tested by ELISA technique to detect anti-Toxoplasma Abs (IgG and IgM). The positive samples with toxoplasmosis were tested to detect the level of interleukins (IL-10, IL-12 and IL-17). The result of this study revealed the prevalence of toxoplasmosis among heart disease patient in about (43.33% IgG and 0.66% IgM). The results of interleukins appeared high level of IL-12 (82.85 pg./ml) in heart disease patients infected with toxoplasmosis when compared with control (60.97 pg./ml) with significant difference between them at p≤0.05, while there was no significant difference in IL-10 between patients and controls. The results also showed decreased level of IL-17 in patients with heart disease. The increased level of IL-12 in patient with heart disease infected with toxoplasmosis indicate to the activity of cell mediated immunity in those patients and may be lead to provoke an inflammatory status in the heart valves and muscle then worse heart disease to be sever and need complicated treatments

Chopper is an important component in optical system. It represents a device, which changes the angle between the coordinate and vision lines of the target for the electrical signal. The chopper modulates the optical signal by a frequency dependent on the number and sectors shapes. The optical modulator takes shapes of various circular due to the need for it. Through this study we have designed the fractal optical modulator its two circles inner and outer, each circle involving in eighteen sectors, by building a computer program using visual basic language. In this paper, we assume that nine sectors one opaque and the other nine sectors are transmitted for the light. Even though the importance of the modulation transfers function (MTF) in testing and evaluating optical systems, it becomes the dependent measurement to know efficiency of the optical systems. It has been studied for optical systems at circular apertures, where that function could evaluate the image efficiency for point object in image planes at different magnitude of a radius and time. The fractal reticle have been designed of insulator material by using the fractal function. Then , evaluating the values of MTF at different values of a radius and time. Also we studied relation between number of sections and spatial frequency.

The present study aimd to estimate the changes in lipid profile depend on dosage amount of two AEDs ,Phenytoin (PHT) and Carbamazepine (CBZ) , and make a comparison between them in rats. A 30 healthy male Wistar rats (150-200 g) ( subdivide to five groups ) first group was control , the second and third groups received (50 mg\kg and 100 mg\kg) of Phenytoin respectively, fourth and fifth groups received (25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg) of Carbamazepine respectively. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs) and High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were measured after 20 days period of treating, Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) was calculated also. Our data revealed that, the administration of PHT (50 mg\kg) and CBZ (25 mg\kg) didn’t affect serum lipid profile significantly compared to control group in male rats except the levels of VLDL in CBZ (25 mg\kg) group which increased significantly (p-value <0.05) compared to control group, on the other hand we found that the administration of double dose (PHT 100 mg\kg and CBZ 50 mg/kg) in group3 and group5 respectively caused a significant increase in TC, TGs, LDL and VLVL in both groups compare to control group. According to our results we conclude that the doubling the dose of CBZ and PHT cause an increase in cholesterol, TGs, LDL and VLDL and switching from CBZ and PHT to another drugs or decrease the dosage could contributes to avoid effects on the lipid metabolism profile of patients with chronic epilepsy

Metformin is recommend as the first line oral agent to be used patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(Type 2 Diabetic).The study was prospectively performed in diabetic and endocrine center of Nassiriyah city .The present study aimed to shed light on metformin and hemoglobin(Hb) and lipid profile in type II diabetic patients with diet and without diet . Our study included 60 patients treated with metformin for Twelve-week . The subjects were divided into three groups. Group I as control, group II patients received Metformin- (1000/2 mg/day) with diet and group III patients received the Metformin-(1000/2 mg/day) without diet all these patient had been selected from those patients visit . The Hb concentration and lipid profile were been examine after 3 months of treatment.In present study we found the hemoglobin concentration reduced in group II with diet patient compare with the group III and control group also reduced in the group III without diet patient compare with control group, as same time This study showed that the treatment with metformine led to, reductions observed in the cholesterol concentrations of the group II diabetic patients with diet compared with the group III administered MET respective without diet diabetic and compared with control, Also we found the triglyceride concentrations of diabetic patients in group administered MET respective with diet were significantly (p<0.05) reduced compared with that of without diet diabetic and control therefore it was considered predisposing factor to reduced damage diabetes. For this reason; continuous taking of metaformin should be important.

Background: different plant derived substances are widely used in the prevention of dental caries through their activity on Streptococcus mutans which is considered to be major cariogenic bacteria. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of green coffee and Arabica coffee on Streptococcus mutans. Materials and methods: Agar well diffusion method with measurement of inhibition zones of S. mutans were used to assess the antibacterial effect of different concentrations of green coffee and Arabica coffee with or without sugar. Streptococcus mutans bacteria were isolated from dental caries in patients consulted the central dental clinics in Basrah (Al Shaheed Qies center) for treatment. Results: Without sugar Green coffee showed greater inhibitory effect on S. mutans than Arabica coffee. The minimum inhibition zone (0.5cm) was recorded at concentration of ( 1.5g/100ml) in green coffee compared to ( 0.5cm) in Arabica coffee that was obtained only at a higher concentration of (3.5g/100ml) .When sugar was added the antibacterial effect of both Green and Arabica coffee declined significantly leading to minimum inhibition zones of ( 0.7cm) and (0.2cm) at a concentration of ( 3.5g/100ml) for green coffee and Arabica coffee respectively. Boiling of both types of coffee showed no significant alteration in their antibacterial activity as compared to non-boiled preparations. Conclusion: consumption of green coffee without adding sugar might be a promising adjunct in the prevention of dental caries owing to its antimicrobial activity against S. mutans bacteria.

Student achievement variables that may be included into student database can be classified into three main categories, student variables. Instructor variables and general variables. This paper presents a new machine-learning model for extracting knowledge From student attributes in a given database. This knowledge can be used for determining the relative importance and effectiveness of student's attributes for the prediction of their college academic achievement, and the relationship between these attributes and their achievement. The model includes three main algorithms namely: preprocessing of database, attribute selection and rule extraction algorithm. Preprocessing of database aims to alleviate the dimensionality of the given database. It is performed according to (i) Detecting memo attributes and abstracting their field values into minimum abstraction level, (ii) Detecting the attributes, which have repeated values (including sparse values), and dropping them from database and (iii) Using fuzzification for transferring the attributes of continuous values into linguistic terms. This transformation leads to reducing the search space. Attribute selection algorithm selects the most relevant attributes set by the calculations of an evaluation function. The resulted set of attributes is passed to rule extraction algorithm for extracting an accurate and comprehensible set of rules.
