ABSTRACT
Background
The thyroid glands function and structure are influenced by several psychomotor stimulants like: temperature, drugs, chemicals and light. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of continuous darkness on the thyroid glands of male rats. Despite so many previous works to explore the effect of exogenous or endogenous melatonin on thyroid, there are few studies dealing with the outcome of progressively increasing phases of darkness on thyroid architecture, according to the available literatures.
Objectives
This work is intended to study the effect of rising period of continuous darkness on thyroid tissues in adult male rats.
Methods
Adult Wister albino rats were kept in total 24 hours darkness for successive 4 phases. These rats were divided into 8 groups. Group II, III, IV and V were cited in continuous darkness for 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks in that order. Group Iᵅ, Group Iᵇ, Group I , and Group I ᵈ were control groups of group II, III, IV and V likewise. After the last day of the dark phase dedicated for each group, the animals were sacrificed under effect of anesthesia. The thyroid gland was separated, weighed and right lobe was practiced to study its structural changes.
Results
The results illustrated no key structural effect by short and medium phases of darkness, while on long phases; there was detrimental effect on thyroid tissues.
Conclusion
The continuous darkness for a long time has undesirable histological and anatomical changes on the thyroid tissues of the adult male rats in a manner correlated with the length of publicity.

Abstract
Background
Parotid gland tumors are the majority of tumors which arise in the salivary glands. Recommended treatment
for parotid pathologies is surgical excision. Injury of the facial nerve is the most common complication
encountered after parotid surgery.
Objective
Analyzing the clinical presentations, histopathology and complications following parotid surgery.
Methods
Patient’s documents were reviewed for those underwent parotidectomy between September 2006 to June 2012.
Diagnosis and surgical procedure were standardized in all cases. All patients were monitored thoroughly
specially for facial nerve injury and they were followed up for six months.
Results
27 patients underwent Parotidectomy with a mean age of 51 years, with male to female ratio 2.8:1. There
were two false negative (FN) and one false positive (FP) reported cases by fine needle aspiration cytology
(FNAC) with sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 95.65%. Pleomorphic adenoma was the commonest benign
pathology (55.56%). Postoperative facial nerve injury encountered in (37.04 %). 80% of cases were completely
recovered in 6 months.
Conclusion
FNAC should be performed in all patients but regarded only as a helpful investigation for management. And
the risk of facial nerve palsy is related to the type, size and extend of the tumour and radicality of the resection
done.
Key words: Parotid tumors, fine needle aspiration cytology, facial nerve injury.

Abstract
Background and aim :There is no available data on normal coronary
artery dimensions among Iraqi Kurdish population (Sulaimani region), so
that our aim is to study the normal dimensions of the coronary artery
segments during life by using quantitative coronary angiography with
reference to dominancy and variations and possibly to help interventional
cardiologist and cardiac surgeon.
Methods:Between February 2009 to June 2009, 88 patients underwent
quantitative coronary angiography for evaluation of symptoms of ischemic
heart disease and were found to have no coronary artery disease from the
sample size.
Results: The diameter of the coronary arteries were larger in male subjects
than females with significant p-value for LMCA, proximal LAD, LCx and
RCA regarding proximal RCA also was larger among male but statistica-lly
was non significant .The diameter of the coronary arteries in Kurdish
population were similar to Caucasians and white but greater than that of
Indians.
Conclusion:In general males has larger coronary artery diameter than
females, the mean diameter was similar to that reported in Caucasians and
white and larger than Indians.
Keywords: Coronary angiography, coronary artery, coronary variation

Abstract
Background: The renal size of a population is a very useful
diagnostic parameter in the practice of medicine. Since the renal size is
affected by various factors, it is necessary to first determine the normal
value.
Objective:The aim of this study is to provide an estimation of renal size in
normal subjects in Sulaimani Teaching Hospital, and to study its relation
with age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) using ultrasonography.
Therefore, this provides a standard data for our locality as we are deficient of
them. Method:A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in
Sulaimani Teaching Hospital during the period of June 2013 to February
2014. 450 random volunteer person were included in the study aging
between 18 - 96 years, without any known renal diseases.The total sample of
the study were 450 person. 239 person (53%) were females, while 211
person (47%) were males. The mean of the right renal size in males was
76553.9947 mm3, while the mean of the left renal size was 94493.9mm3. In
females, the mean of the right renal size was 68324.0292mm3, while the
mean of the left renal size was 84150.43264mm3. Mean renal size for the
right kidney was 72210.9842 mm3,While the mean renal size for the left
kidney was 89031.0296 mm3. Results:There was a positive correlation
between the size of the right and left kidney, with the left kidney size which
is larger. There was also a positive correlation between renal size and age, as
renal size increased with age till the 5th decade of life. While the male renal
size was greater than the female renal size with the same age group, there
was a positive correlation between renal size and body mass index (BMI).

Abstract
Background
In Vitro fertilization IVF can be a very effective fertility treatment. However, we need to have sufficient eggs of sufficient quality in order to make it successful. Both egg quantity and egg quality are very much related to female age
A woman’s ability to conceive a child reduces with age, on average, the younger the women have the higher chances of success.
Objectives
This work is intended to study the impact of maternal age on the outcome of IVF resulting in biochemical pregnancy in Sulaimani region.
Methods
This retrospective study has being done in Dwarozh IVF private center in Sulaimani, between December 2008 and January 2011 on 125 women. All of these women had undergone thorough IVF treatment according to established protocols. According to maternal age the women were divided in to group 1 below 35 years and group 2 from 36 years and above.
For each cycle number of retrieved oocyte, injected oocyte, fertilization, number of embryo transfer, quality and grading of the embryo with the result of biochemical pregnancy has been studied.
Then comparison between the two maternal age groups has been done to show the significance of maternal age on the outcome of IVF.
Results
For the Group 1(G1), the effect of maternal age on Fertilizes oocytes is significant, as the T-value is 37.035577. The P-Value is < .00001. The result is significant at p < .05.and the percentage of positive biochemical pregnancies was 45.83%.
While for Group 2 (G2) the effect of maternal age on fertilized oocyte is significant, as the T-value is 58.997473. The P-Value is < .00001. The result is significant at p < .05 and the percentage of biochemical pregnancies were
33.96%
Conclusion
Maternal age has significant effect on the number of fertilized oocytes and percentage of biochemical pregnancy for the IVF process. The percentage of biochemical pregnancy is more in age group less than 35 years.
