The study aims at assessing the significance of the LV sphericity index in quantifying LV geometric alterations, as well as the conicity index's significance in recognizing regional variations in LV geometry and evaluating its relation to the heart's systolic and diastolic function.&#x0D; Methods and Methods: A total of 50 individuals with anterior myocardial infarction (MI) participates in this cross-sectional study. Sphericity (SI) and conicity indices (CI) are calculated using the ratios of the short axis and long axis, and the apical to short LV axis, respectively. Then measurements of the LV's systolic and diastolic functioning are done.&#x0D; Results: The sphericity index and systolic parameters display a statistically significant negative correlation (P<0.05). The conicity index and systolic parameters show a statistically non-significant negative correlation (P>0.05).&#x0D; The relation between CI and SI with LV diastolic parameters reveal a positive correlation, but it was statistically non-significant (p>0.05). Only the left atrial volume index (LAVI) was statistically significant with SI (p<0.05).&#x0D; Conclusion: This study concludes that LV indices are a simple, non-invasive measure of LV remodelling, whether locally by CI or globally by SI, and can reflect the LV's systolic and diastolic performance based on correlation studies.","PeriodicalId":17505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University of Babylon","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136344595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Omega 3 is nowadays one of the most desirable components of oils because of its nutritional and functional properties. Through its various processes in cellular metabolism, its therapeutic actions in numerous chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders have been identified, gene expression, and signal transduction. Numerous studies have confirmed that acne, psoriasis, and inflammatory skin conditions including atopic dermatitis can all be managed with omega 3.&#x0D; Objective: The review's objective is to provide a brief scientific overview of this condition, which has recently become widespread used in the treatment of skin diseases.&#x0D; Conclusion: The effects of \"3 PUFA\" in skin illnesses are only seldom studied in research and clinical trials, but prior studies analyzing immune cells predict that these fatty acids will have a wide range of positive benefits. Additionally, there are few findings on keratinocytes, which are thought to make up a significant portion of the epidermis' cells. Future studies should clarify the complete role keratinocytes play in the skin. since the prevalence of inflammatory skin conditions and cancers is rising at the moment, clinical trials in the future on \"3 PUFAs\" in dermatological sectors are likely to provide us with useful knowledge for the routine clinical management of skin problems.&#x0D; Keywords: Polyunsaturated fatty acids, \"PUFAs,\" omega-3, psoriasis, skin.","PeriodicalId":17505,"journal":{"name":"Journal of University of Babylon","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136344599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In experimental and theoretical researches, nonlinear optical phenomena, primarily resulting from interactions between matter and strong electric fields, have received considerable attention. Materials like these have numerous applications in science, engineering, and technology.&#x0D; Materials and Methods: Fullerene 20 has been adopted as an electron donor, which was considered an NLO molecular material, while the thieno[2,3-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione has been adopted as an electron acceptor. Fullerene20-thieno[2,3-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione-fullerene20 (FTPDF), as D-A-D, has been designed for nonlinear optical applications. Fullerene20-thieno[2,3-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione-fullerene20 (FTPDF) was studied to determine its linear and nonlinear optical properties. For FTPDF, nonlinear optical properties were calculated with DFT/B3LYP using the basis set 6-31G(d,p). Various quantum calculations determine the structural and symmetry properties of Fullerene20-thieno[2،3-c]pyrrole-4،6(5H)-dione-fullerene20.&#x0D; Results: The rotation increases the electric dipole moment µtot, average linear polarizability αo and the first hyperpolarizability βtot. And the anisotropic polarizability ∆α is smaller than the average polarizability, and the present structure has few deviations from spherical symmetry. FTPDF shows µx-switch behavior. In particular, the rotation can raise the possibility for a new type of molecular βx-switch.&#x0D; Conclusion: The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energies estimated by DFT for the investigated molecules have been reported here.
