Title : Depression among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Attending the National Diabetes Center in Baghdad
Abstract : Depression is a risk factor for diabetes, and people with diabetes mellitus are more probably to be depressed. Thus, depression may negatively affect diabetes management and increase the possibility of complications. The objectives are to assess depressive symptoms among type 2 diabetic patients. and to study the influence of some demographic and clinical characteristics on depression. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Baghdad city capital of Iraq at the national diabetes center in Baghdad. The data was collected from the 1st of February to the1st of July 2018, 100 diabetic patients (43 males and 57 females) and 150 non diabetic subjects of comparable age and sex. (75 males and 75 females), A structured questionnaire was used for collecting data about the socio-demographic characteristics and disease characteristics while depressive symptoms were assessed by using Beck depression scale-II, then analysis of data was carried out using the available (Statistical Packages for Social Sciences- version 25). Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus type 2 with a proportion of (17%). being female was significantly associated with the development of depression with a proportion of (24.6%).

Title : Dimensions of Students’ Social Well-Being and Their Relation with Perceived Parenting Style
Abstract : The present study examined to what extent parenting styles as perceived and remembered by children is related to the dimensions of social well-being in a sample of university students. Using 367 students from different educational backgrounds (148 male and 219 female and utilizing Parenting Style Inventory to measure permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative parenting styles and Social Well-being scale, we tested the hypothesis that authoritative parenting is associated with the higher levels of global social well-being, as well as its different dimensions. Results indicated that there are significant correlations between the authoritative parenting style and social well-being dimensions (p<0.005), except social acceptance; however, there exist negative correlations between authoritarian and permissive parenting styles and social well-being dimensions (p<0.005). Further analyses revealed that students with a perceived authoritative parenting style benefit higher levels of social actualization, social integration, social contribution, and social coherence compared to the other parenting styles. However, the results of the analysis of variance did not indicate any significant difference in social acceptance between the three groups. The results revealed the importance of a loving and accepting home environment for the development of social well-being, and showed that parenting characteristics such as supportiveness and warmth continue to play an important role in a student’s social well-being even after entering university.

Title : Comparing effectiveness of local injection of ropivacaine versus xylocaine - adrenaline in the upper eyelid blepharoplasty
Abstract : Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgical operations which is performed under local anesthesia. An ideal anesthetic agent in addition to analgesia and suitable duration of action should have fewer systemic and local side effects during and after surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the effects and side effects of lidocaine/adrenaline with ropivacaine in candidate patients for upper eyelid blepharoplasty. This research has been performed as a clinical trial. Forty candidate patients for upper eyelid blepharoplasty undergoing local anesthesia were randomly assigned into two 20-member groups. In the first group (intervention), ropivacaine and in the second group (control) lidocaine/adrenaline were used with the similar volume as local anesthetic agent. Then, the level of pain was captured through VAS, while the bleeding and edema were determined through clinical examination and recorded. The mean maximum concentration of the anesthetic agent required in both treatment and control groups was 4.7±0.4 and 4.8±0.4 cc respectively (P=0.455). In investigating the extent of analgesia, it was observed that across all study time intervals and in both intervention and control groups, the mean VAS of patients was less than three and no significant difference was observed between them (P=0.374). Concerning postoperative edema, in the intervention group, a clear reduction was observed in the edema around the eyes when compared to the control group (P=0.015). Ropivacaine as a local anesthetic agent in upper eyelid blepharoplasty causes diminished pain and incidence of postoperative edema. Further, it does not need adrenaline for controlling bleeding during surgery. Therefore, it can be used in high-risk patients for whom it is not possible to use adrenaline.

Title : Effect of Topical Mitomycin C on Tear Film Function Testsafter Photorefractive Keratectomy in Patients with Low Myopia
Abstract : Mitomycin C (MMC) is used to prevent corneal opacity following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). The present research seeks to study the effect of Mitomycin C on tear film function tests among patients with low myopia. This study was a double blind randomized clinical trial conducted on 15 patients (30 eyes) with low myopia referred to AL Zahra Ophthalmology hospital, Zahedan, Iran in 2016. Patients with low myopia were randomized into two groups: The eyes of one group were treated using PRK while the eyes of the other group were exposed by both PRK and adjuvant MMC0.02%. Using T-test and Repeated Measurement ANOVA, the results of tear film tests were statistically analyzed and studied. The study enrolled 15 patients.30 eyes (15 patients) with a mean age of 27.53 ± 7.04 years were studied. Tear film function tests were conducted before and after PRK.Osmolaritytest was checked before operation and in the third month following operation. Other tests (Schirmer, TBUT) were performed before the operation and within the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months following the operation. The patients were not given any medicines 24 hours prior to the operation. No statistically significant differences were observed in tear osmolarity, TBUT and Schirmer test (P>0.05) between PRK and PRK+MMC before the operation and post-operation visits. Using MMC in PRK operations does not cause any disruptions in tear tests and MMC can be used safely if necessary.

Title : The Influence of Wire Dimension, Type and Thickness of Different Coating Layer on Friction Forces of Aesthetic NiTi Arch Wires
Abstract : Esthetic coated NiTi arch wires are the desired to match esthetic brackets in the clinical orthodontics; but the presence of coating layer is greatly affected friction during sliding mechanics. The aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of total wire dimension with the coating material types (coating and ion implanted) and thickness of coating layers on frictional force of coated nickel titanium wires. The sample of this study consisted of 140 segments of coated Nickle titanium arch wires involving two wire dimensions (0.016 × 0.022 inch and 0.019 × 0.025 inch). The samples were supplied from four companies (IOS, Orthotechnology, DANY and Hubit) and the uncoated control samples were supplied from IOS Company. Wire dimensions and thickness of coating layer were measured by the metallurgical light incident microscope and the static frictional force was measured through pulling the wires through a set of ceramic brackets by the universal testing machine. The data were then statistically analyzed using ANOVA tests. Generally, the stated dimensions of the wires by the manufacturer do not match the measured wire dimensions. The frictional forces of coated wires differ from uncoated control being higher in the control and polymer coated wires and lesser in the rhodium, gold implanted and labial Teflon coated wires owing to differences in the wire dimension, thickness of coating layer, and physical properties of coating materials. When tested in vitro, rhodium implanted wires produce the least amount of friction.
