Accreditation of a training course is the single most important method which can guarantee the adherence of the course to the scientific standards and ensure avoiding wasting of time of the participants, and also wasting resources during training. Little is known about accredited training medical courses in Iraq. The aim of the academic study is to identify the most appropriately accredited medical courses in Iraq that have their scientific contents and training methodologies published in a standard training course books. During the last week of July 2023, all the relevant sources on the...

The incidence of chronic renal failure has been disturbingly increasing during the previous decades, and it has been increasingly considered as a global health problem. The availability of renal replacement therapy and its quality are much less in developing countries than in the advanced countries. The lack of effective, convenient and affordable therapy for chronic renal failure in many regions of the world should not mean should that the patients with advanced chronic renal failure are left without other suitable, convenient and acceptable care. Therefore, the need for a more robust and...

L'adénocarcinome gastrique est le type le plus important de cancer de l'estomac et il est généralement sporadique. Cependant, environ 10 % des adénocarcinomes gastriques sont familiaux. Le facteur génétique causal le plus important de l'adénocarcinome gastrique est la mutation germinale de CDH1, qui provoque le syndrome du cancer diffus de l'estomac. Ce livre décrit le premier patient irakien atteint d'un adénocarcinome gastrique mixte neuroendocrine familial. Ikue Nonogaki et son groupe de recherche ont probablement été les premiers à signaler l'existence d'un cancer gastrique...

Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most important type of stomach cancers, and it is generally sporadic. However, about 10% of gastric adenocarcinoma occurs in familial pattern. The most important genetic causative factor in gastric adenocarcinoma is CDH1 germ line mutations, which cause the diffuse stomach cancer syndrome. Chen was probably the first to suggest the existence of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the stomach as a separate entity in 1988. This book describes the first Iraqi patient with familial mixed gastric neuroendocrine-adenocarcinoma. Ikue Nonogaki and his research group were...

Developing a doctor to be an instructor in a university or an academic institution demands enrollment in a development course called instruction methods. Enabling board certified physicians to satisfactorily perform their role in teaching postgraduate and training of postgraduate physicians in their residency also requires providing them with the general principles of instruction. Therefore, there has been an increasing demand for conducting instruction methods courses for physicians and other healthcare professionals, including dentists and pharmacists. The aim of this book is to describe an...

Anabolic steroids are increasingly popular among athletes and bodybuilders for their potential to enhance muscle growth and athletic performance, despite the well-documented risks associated with their use. It is important to emphasize that high doses and the combination of multiple anabolic steroids can never be considered safe. Tragically, the deaths of numerous athletes, particularly bodybuilders, have increasingly been linked to anabolic steroid use. In my previous publications, I explored the evidence supporting the use of nutritional sports supplements, which are generally safer...

Childhood nephrotic syndrome is a prevalent renal disorder characterized by generalized edema due to hypoalbuminemia from heavy proteinuria. This syndrome can be classified as primary or secondary, with the majority of cases being primary. Current management primarily relies on corticosteroids, but issues such as frequent relapses and steroid dependency necessitate alternative therapies. Recent approaches include the use of levamisole and mycophenolate mofetil, alongside the resurgence of intramuscular ACTH (synacthen) as a treatment option.This book describes the treatment of frequently...
