Introduction: Thrombocytopenia is considered to be a common complain of outpatients
and hospitalized ones, ranging from asymptomatic to severe death causing hemorrhage.
Diagnosing thrombocytopenia depends mainly on study of bone marrow which is an
invasive process. Complete Blood Count on automated hematology analyzers is widely
used nowadays with no extra cost, and platelets indices are part of the blood profile and
less often used in diagnosing thrombocytopenia.
Aim of the study: Investigation of a possible relationship between platelets indices (MPV
and PDW) and thrombocytopenia etiologies (hypoproductive or hyperdestructive), and
determine the sensitivity and specificity of platelets indices in the approach of
thrombocytopenia.

semiconductor.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a leading public health problem with increasing
incidence and long term complications. These complications are mainly a consequence of
macro-vascular and microvascular damages of the target organs. The incidence of
several
pulmonary abnormalities during the course of Diabetes Mellitus because the presence of
an extensive microvascular circulation and abundant connective tissue in the lungs , raises
the possibility that lung tissue may be a target organ in diabetic patients.
Objectives: This research is designed to study the impact of DM and both the
duration of the disease and the glycemic control on pulmonary function tests.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study carried out on 75 patients with type II
diabetes mellitus patients at Tishreen University Hospital in the period between October
2015 and October 2016 .We compared with a control group consisted of 75 non diabetic
healthy persons . Measurement of HbA1C , fasting plasma glucose
(FPG) , and spirometry were made to all subjects and the following pulmonary function
parameters were recorded: Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second (FEV1), Forced
Vital Capacity (FVC), and Forced Expiratory Volume percent (FEV1/ FVC%) . Results
were analyzed by calculating Mean ± SD, using X2 test , Karl Pearson correlation and
ANOVA test.
Results: The mean FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC% values were low in diabetics (p value
<0.05) compared to healthy non-diabetics (control group). Also, uncontrolled diabetics
show a greater decrease in these values than controlled diabetics. There was a greater
decrease in these values in patients with long period of disease .
Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggest that, the lung is a target organ
for damage in DM and diabetics show a decrease in PFTs with a restrictive pattern lesion
compared with non-diabetics . And this deterioration is exaggerated in uncontrolled
diabetics and with the long duration of DM .
This study was conducted during the period 2014-2016 in the nursery College of
Agriculture, University of Tishreen, this study aimed to calculate the percentage of
germination of the seeds of Laurus nobilis and Pinus pinea using different proportio
ns of
olive cake with a mixture Arboretum, and study some of the planter resulting properties as
well as some physical and chemical characteristics of agricultural mixture that used. were
analyzed using spss statistical program
The mixing nursery soil (sand, soil 1: 1) with olive cake rates (25,50,75,100)% .
assessment: germination percentage, wet and dry weight of shoot and root grouped,
volumetric weight, moisture middle and chemical characteristics. , For germination
percentage it has increased every germination of seeds of laurel and pine fruiting increase
the proportion of bagasse in the agricultural center in general ratio, and on the contrary has
increased wet weight of shoots with decreasing proportion of olive cake in both types
studied. For the physical properties there was a decrease in the volumetric weight of the
agricultural community to increase the proportion of the studied olive cake, as soil
moisture ratio increased to increase the proportion of bagasse. Rich agricultural circles
used container Regarding chemical properties have been observed on the olive cake metal
elements (iron, magnesium and copper), The salinity and acidity remained within normal
limits, so the study has demonstrated the validity of the use of olive cake as a medium for
planting in whole or in part agricultural mixtures used in nurseries.
COPD is a major public health problem , and it results with an extensive social and
economical burden on both the patient and his family on one hand and the healthcare
system on the other . Despite the great advances in the management of patients w
ith COPD
, the use of the optimal treatment of the proposed treatment options is still being discussed ,
and Must achieve greater benefit for both patients and the healthcare system .
This research is designed to study and compare the effect of the combination
(salbutamol and ipratropium bromide) with the effect of salbutamol alone in the treatment
of patients with stable COPD , by studying and comparing the improvement in the forced
expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and in forced vital capacity
( FVC) after a month of a treatment .
The study included 80 patients (53 males and 27 females), the patients were between
45-81 years of age , 63 patients were smokers and 17 were nonsmokers.
The study showed that after a month on therapy , for patients treated with the
combination (salbutamol + ipratropium bromide) the increasing in FEV1 was 0.35 liters
and in FVC was 0.61-liter , while , for the patients treated with salbutamol alone , the
increasing in FEV1 was 0.28 liters and FVC was 0.48-liter .
We concluded that a combination of ipratropium bromide and salbutamol is more
effective at improving pulmonary function than salbutamol alone.
The general index of the financial market of the important
economic indicators in any country is being reflects the

attention must be appropriate methods for predicting the
performance o
f this indicator in the future and look at the
factors that affect in it .
This study aimed to the conclusion based, follow Box-Jenkins
methodology for building predictive models ARMA (p, q) and
check models" residuals, and predict the performance of the
general index of Damascus Securities Exchange DWX, as
well as the volume of trading in this market, and studying the

This paper presents the shear behavior of lightweight concrete beams
without shear reinforcement produced by scoria aggregates. A total of nine
beams were tested under four-point loads, including three lightweight
concrete beams without steel fibers and six steel fiber reinforced
lightweight concrete beams.
The walls containing phase change materials (PCM) play a significant role in the
air conditioning of buildings. However, one of the characteristics which limits the use
of PCMs is their low conductivity. It is possible to solve this problem by coup
ling a
metal matrix with the PCM. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal size of a
wall which allows a complete change of state, and a homogenization of the temperature
without a too fast change-of-state rate. To study the thermal behavior of the wall, we
have carried out a numerical simulation using the COMSOL® software in considering a
unit cell. To describe the change of state, the method of the equivalent heat capacity
has been used. Paraffin has been chosen as PCM (melting temperature 24.5 °C). The
influence of the nature and the volume fraction of the metal were determined. The case
of honeycombs made of aluminum has been specifically treated.
This study was carried out during 2013 – 2015 and aimed to assess the effects of
applying dry sewage sludge on dry biomass production and wood volume of Eucalyptus
camaldulensis plantation established on sandy soil in Fedio plantation-Lattakia at A
pril -
2013.
Four experimental treatments were compared at age 22 months: SS1 (sewage sludge
3 kg/tree), SS2 (sewage sludge 6 kg/tree), MF (mineral fertilizer), and C (no fertilizer
applications). Aboveground dry biomass production and wood volume in the SS1
treatment were about 107.60 t/ ha and 121.13 m3/harespectively, MF treatment (87.52 t/ha,
96.98 m3/ha) and SS2 treatment (91.12 t/ha, 103.42 m3/ha)and higher than in the control
treatment (43.89 t/ha, 51.32 m3/ha ).
Generally, sewage sludge is dumped into sanitary landfills, even
though its use in forest stands as a fertilizer and soil conditioner
might be an interesting option. However, sewage sludge must be
applied with care to avoid soil and water pollutio
n. The aim of this
study was to assess the effects of applying dry sewage sludge on
wet biomass production and wood volume of short rotation
Eucalyptus camaldulensis plantation established on sandy soil in
Fedio plantation.
