Abstract: The main aim of this experiment was to assess the impact of Consciousness Energy Healing-based vitamin D3 and DMEM medium on bone health parameters. The test items, were divided into two parts. One part of each sample received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment by Brian Anthony Weekes and those samples were labeled as the Biofield Energy Treated (BT) samples, while the other parts of each sample were denoted as the untreated test items (UT). Different parameters like ALP, collagen, and bone mineralization were performed to evaluate the bone strength and integrity in human bone osteosarcoma cells (MG-63). The test samples were found as safe in the tested concentrations by MTT cell viability assay. ALP was significantly increased by 19.49% and 63.49% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 1 µg/mL compared to the UT-DMEM + UT-Test item group. Further, the ALP level was significantly elevated by 35.92% and 61.17% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 10 µg/mL compared to the UT-DMEM + UT-Test item group. Collagen was significantly increased by 53.75% and 42.43% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item and BT-DMEM + UT-Test item groups, respectively at 1 µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Further, the collagen level was significantly increased by 46.54% and 122.61% at 50 and 100 µg/mL, respectively in the BT-DMEM + UT-Test item group compared to the untreated group. Additionally, the percent of bone mineralization was distinctly increased by 18.12%, 96.33%, and 150.85% in the UT-DMEM + BT-Test item, BT-DMEM + UT-Test item, and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 10 µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Further, the percentage of bone mineralization was significantly increased by 61.96 and 22.84% in the BT-DMEM + UT-Test item and BT-DMEM + BT-Test item groups, respectively at 100 µg/mL compared to the untreated group. Overall, the Biofield Energy Treated vitamin D3 was significantly improved the bone health parameters and it could be an alternative nutraceutical supplement to combat vitamin D3 deficiency and fight against various bone related problems including rickets, low bone density, osteomalacia, bone and joint pain, bone fractures, osteoporosis, osteoma, osteogenesis imperfecta, Paget’s disease of bone, deformed bones, chondrodystrophia fetalis, stress management and prevention, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and anti-aging by improving overall health.

Abstract: Objective:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the autonomic disturbance in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.Methods:Thirty-eight patients who fit into the AAN criteria of diagnosis of CIDP were studied. Five standard cardiovascular autonomic Ewing tests were performed for every patient in addition to the assessment of autonomic symptoms.Results: The study includes 32 males and 6 females their age ranged from 10 to 69 years. In this study we have seen one child with CIDP whose age was ten years and he had PST impairment. Sexual disturbance was the majorautonomic symptom seen in the males [40.6%], while urinary disturbance 2was the major autonomic disturbance encountered in females [66.6%]. Autonomic function tests [AFT] showed that one quarter of males and half of the females had abnormal AFT. In patients aged between 50-59 years, [40%] having normal autonomic function test, [40%] had PST impairment, while the others have mixed impairment [20%]. None of the patients had pure sympathetic impairment. Regarding the types of CIDP the largest percent [84.2%] of patients have classic type of CIDP while 7.8%, 5.2% and 2.6% had DADS, MADSAM and MMN respectively.Conclusions: Autonomic dysfunction was common in Iraqi CIDP patients. PST impairment is a major pattern of dysautonomia in CIDP. Sexual disturbance in males while urinary disturbance in females were the most common autonomic symptoms encountered. VM, HR response to standing allow an early detection of autonomic dysfunction even in asymptomatic individuals.

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ionized calcium level on the prognosis and mortality of patients with pulmonary embolism. Materials and method: A total of 165 patients over 18 years of age, who had been hospitalized due to pulmonary embolism were retrospectively evaluated. A significant relation was determined between mortality and low systolic blood pressure (p<0.05), low diastolic blood pressure (p<0.05) and tachycardia (p<0.05). The relation between mortality and high levels of urea (p<0.05), creatinine (p<0.05), d-dimer (p<0.05), CK-MB (p<0.05), troponin (p<0.05) and lactate (p<0.05) was also significant. The relation between mortality and duration of intensive care unit stay (p<0.05), hospital stay (p<0.05) and duration of mechanical ventilation (p<0.05) was also significant, whereas no relation was determined between the ionized calcium level and mortality (p=0.154). However, a significant relation was determined between the high level of ionized calcium and duration of mechanical ventilation (p=0.019). Additionally, the relation between right bundle branch block in ECG and mortality was found to be significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although no direct relation was determined between the level of ionized calcium and mortality in pulmonary embolism, it may be useful in predicting the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune Inflammatory disease that can affect multiple systems and organs of the body including skin, kidneys, lungs, joints and nervous system.Some previous studies up light thatSLE was associated with increased risk of Acute leukemia (SIR = 2.3). The incidence ofthe association of AMLand SLE is not known but there are few case reports in literature. The aim of this report was to up light the difficulties wich occurred in the diagnosis and the management of acute myeloid leukemia in patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. Patient, 43 years old, diabetic treat withinsulin, wichsister is followed for Behcet's disease, was admited for AML with trisomy of chromosome 4 and 8 and thrombophlebitis of the superior sagittal sinus, Chest CT-Scan showed minimal bilateral pleural effusion. She was treated according to Morocco National protocol AML-MA-2011. CT-Scan was done atday 12 ofchemotherapy and noticedthe persistance of the minimal bilateral pleural effusion.At day 19 the patient presentedmalar rash, and right axillary adenitis. The biopsy of the adenitis show the presence of LE cells. According to internal physician recommendations we add steroids to the treatement. The cough and fever deasapear. The CT-scan for control was normal after two weeks of steroids. Patient is in complete remission after induction I. After a following-up of five months, the patient still well,but present severy infections during chemotherapy cycles and a bad tolerance for the treatement. The association SLE-AML is rare. The diagnosis of the association SLE-AML is difficult. It is management is also difficult according to commorbidity, severy infectious because of dicline of immunity, and less tolerance to AML chemotherapy.
