Objective:
Aim: The current study designed to evaluate the abnormal expression prevalence of Cluster of Differentiation (CD) markers in Iraqi patients diagnosed with AL at the Medical City Hospitals.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and Methods: A total of 175 newly diagnosed leukemia patients (110 males and 65 females) aged between 1 and 85 years were included. Bone marrow aspiration and flow cytometry were used to analyze CD marker expression. Data on hematological parameters, immunophenotypic profiles, and demographic characteristics were recorded and statistically analyzed.
Results:
Results: The present study identified aberrant expression of CD markers, including CD13, CD19, CD33, CD34, CD117, CD56, CD5, TdT, HLA-DR, and CD79a, across different leukemia subtypes. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was the most prevalent subtype (46.2%), followed by B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) (26.2%) and T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) (8.5%). CD34 was highly expressed in AML, B-ALL, and T-ALL cases, while CD13 and CD33 were predominantly expressed in AML. CD56 and CD117 were associated with multiple myeloma (MM).
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The study demonstrated a high ratio of abnormal CD marker expression in AL cases, aligning previous data from various area around the world. Identifying aberrant antigen expression patterns through immunophenotyping aids in diagnosing leukemia and distinguishing neoplastic cells from normal hematopoietic precursors.

01:42What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
01:27Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
01:21Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...

The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
