Objective: Breast cancer is the most widely cancer among women, involving 18% of all female cancers, and worldwide, breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer mortality. The study was designed to determine and compare the levels of Serotonin (ST), Melatonin (MT), Estradiol (E2), and Adiponectin (ADP) Hormones in Breast cancer patients and apparently healthy individuals. Material and Methods: Blood Serotonin (ST), Melatonin (MT), Estradiol(E2), and Adiponectin (ADP) Hormones levels were determined in 85 Breast cancer patients and 55 apparently healthy subjects. Results: The levels of serum Serotonin (ST), Melatonin (MT), and Adiponectin (ADP) Hormones were showing significant decrease in Breast cancer patients as compared to control group. ( P ≤ 0.05 ).While the level of serum Estradiol (E2) was showing significant increase in Breast cancer patients as compared to control group.( P ≤ 0.05 ). Conclusion: In Breast cancer patients, we finding decrease in Serotonin (ST), Melatonin (MT), and Adiponectin (ADP) Hormones. While we finding increase in Estradiol (E2) in Breast cancer patients as compared to control group.

Abstract. This study was conducted to demonstrate the effect of plant extracts from the Nerium oleander L. plant and ultrasound waves of different frequencies (10-50) (20-45) (50-60) (30-65) KHz on the barnacle larvae cyprid of barnacle Balanus amphitrite amphitrite obtained from Nasiriya Thermal Power Station inlet water. Samples were collected bimonthly three replicates. The results of the Oleandrin 1 and 2.5 mg/500 ml showed a an effect of losing the larvae cyprid, 2.5 mg showed an increasing effect on the seventh day. A maximum losing of larvae cyprid was attained when using ultrasonic with con junction of 2.5 mg Oleandrin extract reached 100% on the tenth day

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide healthcare problem, especially in developing areas and the risk of liver cirrhosis in the individuals with chronic hepatitis B The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the alterations in Vitamin D3, Calcium (Ca+2) levels and Blood clotting tests [Prothrombin time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), international normalized ratio (INR)], and their correlation with HBV viral load (HBV-DNA load). Vitamin D3 and Ca+2 levels and Blood clotting tests were determined in 102 patients with HBV, and 60 healthy subjects, and comparing HBV-DNA loads with the rest of the biochemical parameters. Vitamin D3 in the blood showed a significant decrease in all patients as compared to the control group (P ≤ 0.05). the results indicate that there is no significant decrease in the concentration of serum Ca+2 in patients as compared to control group, While the blood clotting tests showed a significant increase in all patients as compared to control group ( P ≤ 0.05 )The presents study showed that the correlation between HBV-DNA load and the biochemical parameters. Our findings showed a negative correlation between HBV-DNA load and (vitamin D3, Ca+2), and a positive correlation between HBV-DNA load and blood clotting tests.
