The Ploc_Bal-Mhum Is a Powerful Web-Serve for Predicting the Subcellular Localization of Human Proteins Purely Based on Their Sequence Information | Author : Kuo-Chen Chou | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In 2019 a very powerful web-server, or AI (Artificial Intelligence) tool, has been developed for predicting the subcellular localization of human proteins purely according to their information for the multi-label systems, in which a same protein may appear or travel between two or more locations and hence its identification needs the multi-label mark. |

| Health Issues of Complicacy among Relationships | Author : Abdul Kader Mohiuddin | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :On Valentines Day, the sight of couples holding hands and hugging each-other might unleash a wave of jealousy in those who are single. However, there might not be much to be jealous about. Also, marital quality clearly colors once the overall sense of well-being, and marital distress elevates health risks says a leading clinical psychology journal. However, the simple presence of a spouse is not necessarily protective; a troubled marriage is itself a prime source of stress, and simultaneously limits the partners ability to seek support in other relationships. The worst distance between two persons in a relationship misunderstanding. Indeed, the relationship between life satisfaction and marital quality is stronger than life satisfactions ties to either once job or once health. |
| Congenital Partial Hemihypertrophy, Low Set Ears, Hypertelorism, and Epicanthi Folds A Novel Syndromic Association | Author : Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Congenital hemihypertrophy is a very rare condition that can be isolated or occurs in association with other congenital abnormalities and neoplasms and well-recognized syndromes. Well-known syndromes that are associated with congenital hemihypertrophy include Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome, Goldenhar syndrome, Silver-Russells syndrome. Partial hemihypertrophy affecting a limb is an extremely rare condition, and was probably first reported in 1949 by web, and very few cases have been reported in the literature.
Patients and methods, Ten-month-old infant with partial hemihypertrophy, delayed development and facial dysmorphism who was observed at the pediatric neuropsychiatry clinic of Baghdad Medical City was studied.
Results The boy was hypotonic with developmental delay and has not been able sit yet. He had low set ears and facial dysmorphism consisting of hypertelorism and epicanthic folds. His right lower limb was obviously larger than the left. Parents were consanguineous, and family history was negative for similar condition. The rest of the examination was normal. Brain CT-scan, echocardiography, abdominal ultrasound, and chromosomal karyoype showed normal finding.
Conclusion: Hemihypertrophy has not been reported in Iraq before. A novel syndromic association consisting of congenital partial hemihypertrophy, low set ears, hypertelorism, epicanthi folds, and developmental delay is reported in this paper. |
| Comparison between Adolescents and Adults Respecting Suicidal Behavior: A Native Local Study | Author : Saeed Shoja Shafti | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Introduction: while some of scholars believe that combining adult and adolescent suicidal behavior findings can result in misleading conclusions, some of researchers have stated that suicidal behavior may be a different phenomenon in adolescents than in adults. Hence, in the present study, the clinical profile of suicidal behavior among adult and child & adolescent psychiatric inpatients, has been compared with each other, to assess their resemblances or variances, in a non-western, local patient population.
Methods: five acute academic wards, which have been specified for admission of first episode adult psychiatric patients, and five acute non-academic wards, which have been specified for admission of recurrent episode adult psychiatric patients, had been selected for current study. In addition, child & adolescent section of Razi psychiatric hospital was the field of appraisal concerning its specific age-group. All inpatients with suicidal behavior (successful suicide and attempted suicide, in total), during the last five years (2013-2018), had been included in the present investigation. Besides, clinical diagnosis was based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition. Intra-group and between-group analyses had been performed by ‘comparison of proportions’. Statistical significance as well, had been defined as p value =0.05.
Results: As said by results, during a sixty months period, sixty-three suicidal behaviors among adult patients, including one successful suicide and sixty-two suicide attempts, and fourteen suicide attempts among child & adolescent patients, without any successful one, had been recorded by the security board of the hospital. While among adults and child & adolescent patients no significant gender-based difference was evident, with respect to suicidal conduct, among adults, the most frequent mental illness was bipolar I disorder, which was significantly more prevalent in comparison with other mental disorders. The other disorders included schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, personality disorders (borderline & antisocial), substance abuse disorders, and adjustment disorder. Among child & adolescent subjects, the most frequent mental illness was, once more, bipolar I disorder, followed by conduct disorder, and substance abuse disorder. Moreover, no significant difference was evident between the first admission and recurrent admission cases in adults or child & adolescents. While self-mutilation, self poisoning and hanging were the preferred methods of suicide among both groups, self-mutilation was significantly more prevalent than the other ways.
Conclusion: While the annual incidence of suicidal behavior in inpatient adults and child & adolescents was comparable, bipolar disorder was the most frequent serious mental illness among suicidal subjects of both groups. Moreover, self-mutilation was the preferred method of suicide in adult and child & adolescent psychiatric inpatients. |
| The First of Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Lung Malformation in Iraq: A Radiologic and Pathologic Study | Author : Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Background: Congenital cystic adenomatoid lung malformation is a very rare condition characterized by replacement of normal pulmonary tissue with cysts of variable size and distribution. The condition is usually unilateral. Very few cases of bilateral and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation with good outcome after resections of the lesions have been reported, and most cases were stillborn or died early during life.
Patients and methods: A forty-day male infant presented with progressive respiratory distress since the first week of life observed at the Children Teaching Hospital of Baghdad Medical City was studied. The literature was reviewed with aim of describing the early documentation of the condition in the literature.
Results: Clinically, the infant had significant respiratory distress interfering with feeding and evidence of shift of the mediastinum to the right. Chest X ray showed increased translucency of left lung field and mediastinal shit to the right. CT-scan showed large air-filled cyst in the left lung and small air-filled cyst in the right lung. The child was treated successfully by left upper lobecomy. The gross examination of two gray pieces of lung tissue showed on cut section microcysts that were apparent grossly. Microscopical examination showed intercommunicating cysts lined by cuboidal epithelium with gland like appearance confirming the diagnosis of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung.
Conclusion: A very rare case of bilateral congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is reported and the early documentation of the condition in the literature is described. |
