Objective: Aim: To demonstrate the genetic variant of CYP11B2 Gen rs1799998 and rs4539 and their ef f ect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in Iraqi patient with essential hypertension in Aldiwania province.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: This is an observational cross sectional descriptive single centre study for hypertensive patients at Al-Diwaniyah province, Iraq which is diagnosed according to 2020 ISH. All candidate patients were diagnosed and recruited by specialist caregiving physician/ cardiologist. There was a total of 90 participants, 37 males and 53 women. Aldosterone and renine levels in the plasma were determined from blood samples given voluntarily by patients undergoing genetic testing.
Results: Results: Regarding rs4539 the most frequent allele was T (112, 62%) while the most frequent genotype was TC (54, 60%). Regarding rs1799998 the most frequent allele was G (97, 54%) while the most frequent genotype was AG (49, 54%).
Conclusion: Conclusions: There was no signif i cant relationship between rs1799998 (A344>G) and rs4539 (T2718C) with systolic and diastolic blood pressure in Iraqi patient with essential hypertension.

Background: Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that symbiotics might effectively manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by modulating the intestinal microbiota. However, these studies' limited sources, small sample sizes, and varied study designs have led to inconsistent outcomes regarding glycaemic control. This study aimed to investigate the effects of symbiotics on the anthropometric measures, glycaemic control, and lipid profiles of patients with T2DM.

Objective: Aim: Our study aimed to investigate the connection between the ABCC8 gene polymorphisms (rs1801261 and rs757110) and T2DM in the Iraqi Middle Euphrates region. Patients with type 2 diabetes were chosen because they were treated with glibenclamide and glimepiride.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The groups of this case-control study are the control group obviously healthy persons included 400 (235 Male/165 Female) and 400 T2DM group (213 Male/ 187 Female).
Clinical relevance of midkine as a biomarker predicting atherosclerotic risk factors in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: Midkine (MK) is a member of a small protein family that includes pleiotrophin. MK levels are elevated in obese patients and have a pro-arthrogenic effect through various pathophysiological processes including vascular inflammation and atherogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum MK levels and several atherosclerotic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Purpose: Assess the effectiveness of a subthreshold micropulse laser for treating a patient with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and subretinal fluid.
Observations: A 55-year-old female presented with left eye blurring vision and metamorphopsia, and her visual acuity was 20/60. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography showed subretinal fluid and pigmented epithelium detachment with a small polyp under the retinal pigmented epithelium, which was diagnosed as polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
Analysis of the Sagittal Root Position of the Maxillary and Mandibular Anterior Teeth in the Alveolar Bone Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Conservative Department, College of Dentistry, University of Sulaimani, Sulaimani 46001, Iraq.
The purpose of this study was to measure the bone thickness and angulation of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth on the buccal and palatal/lingual sides and also to analyze the sagittal root position (SRP) in the alveolar bone in relation to age and gender using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in an Iraqi subpopulation. CBCT images of 1200 maxillary and mandibular central and lateral incisors and canines from 100 patients (48 males and 52 females) were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were categorized by age into group I ≤ 25, group II 26-40, and group III ≥ 41 years old.
