Objective: Prestin is an outer hair cell (OHC) protein responsible for increasing cochlear sensitivity and has been proposed as a biomarker. We aimed to evaluate whether the serum prestin level is related to the severity of chronic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
Methods: Ninety subjects were recruited from the patient base at Samarra public hospitals and clinics in Iraq from January to October of 2022.
Purpose: Antiphospholipid antibodies are often associated with recurrent pregnancy loss, and although many studies have addressed this association in Western countries, such studies are not so frequent from developing countries. The current study aims to determine the frequency of Antiphospholipid antibodies (Anticardiolipin antibodies and Lupus anticoagulant) among Iraqi women with recurrent mid-trimester abortions and to evaluate various tests used for their detection.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred women with recurrent mid-trimester abortions were randomly enrolled from a main referral center in Baghdad-Iraq.
