CORRELATION OF SOME IMMUNOLOGICAL MARKERS WITH HELICOBACTER PYLORI IN PATIENTS IN THI-QAR PROVINCE.

Objective: The aim: This study aims to investigate some of the immunological parameters related to Helicobacter pylori patients, including: interleukin (IL-17), cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4), macrophage inhibitory migration factor (MIF), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The immunological parameters were investigated by using ELISA technology, and compared with the healthy individuals (control).

Results: Results: The level of IL-17A in the serum showed a significant increase (p < 0.

ASSOCIATION OF SOME IMMUNOLOGICAL BIOMARKERS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PATIENTS IN THI-QAR PROVINCE.

Objective: The aim: The aim of this research is to evaluate some immunological biomarkers in cases of Rheumatoid arthritis and to verify their correlation with activity of disease among the population of Thi-Qar province.

Patients And Methods: Matherials and methods: This study included 45 cases of rheumatoid arthritis and 45 healthy subjects. All cases underwent complete history taking, thor¬ough clinical examination, and laboratory tests including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Anti-citrulline antibody (Anti-CCP) and rheumatoid factor (RF).

Experimental Study of Halloysite Nanofluids in Pool Boiling Heat Transfer.

Halloysite nanotube (HNT) which is cheap, natural, and easily accessible 1D clay, can be used in many applications, particularly heat transfer enhancement. The aim of this research is to study experimentally the pool boiling heat transfer (PBHT) performance of novel halloysite nanofluids at atmospheric pressure condition from typical horizontal heater. The nanofluids are prepared from halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanomaterials-based deionized water (DI water) with the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to control pH = 12 to obtain stable nanofluid.

Experimental Investigation on Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Performance Using Tungsten Oxide WO Nanomaterial-Based Water Nanofluids.

This study aims to experimentally investigate the pool boiling heat transfer coefficient behavior using tungsten oxide-based deionized water nanofluids and comparing them to deionized water as conventional fluid. The influence of different dilute volumetric concentrations (0.005%-0.
