Prof. Dr. Yasar Yahya Hussein Al-Tamer Prof. Dr. Yasar Yahya Al-Tamer joined Al-Noor University College in September 2018 as head of the Department of Medical Laboratory Techniques, teaching biochemistry subjects, clinical chemistry, and advanced laboratory techniques in clinical chemistry. Prof. Yasar Al-Tamer obtained a master’s degree in clinical chemistry from the University of Surrey (United Kingdom) in 1974 and then a doctorate in clinical chemistry from the University of Surrey in 1978. After returning to his country, Iraq, he was appointed as a teacher in the biochemistry branch of the College of Medicine at the University of Mosul to teach the subject of biochemistry in this college as well as in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Mosul, in addition to teaching clinical chemistry to graduate students in the colleges of medicine and science at the University of Mosul. In 1979, he was appointed head of the Biochemistry Branch at the College of Medicine at the University of Mosul. In 1982, Dr. Yasar Yahya Al-Tamer was given the title of Assistant Professor, and during this period he supervised four Master’s students in the same college. In 1984, he was transferred to the College of Education at the University of Mosul to teach biochemistry in the chemistry and Biology departments. In 1992, Dr. Al-Tamer was appointed Assistant Dean of the College for Scientific Affairs at the College of Education at the University of Mosul until 1996, when he was transferred to the presidency of the University of Mosul as Director of Scientific Affairs and Cultural Relations. In 1997, Dr. Yasar Yahya Al-Tamer was promoted to the rank of professor. During this period, Prof. Yasar Al-Tamer was teaching the subjects of biochemistry and clinical chemistry in the Faculties of Science and Education. He also supervised the research of three master’s students and three doctoral students. In 2002, he was transferred from the staff of the College of Education to the newly established Nineveh College of Medicine at the University of Mosul. In 2003, his work as director of cultural relations at the university presidency ended. In 2004, he was appointed head of the Biochemistry Branch at the Nineveh College of Medicine until 2010. In 2010, he was appointed Director of the Office of Scientific and Medical Advisory Services at the Nineveh College of Medicine until 2012, then in 2015 he was appointed Assistant to the President of Nineveh University for Administrative Affairs until 20017, when he was referred to retirement after reaching the legal age. During his tenure, Prof. Al-Tamer carried out several scientific and administrative visits, including in 1980 to the United Kingdom, in 1981 to Hungary, in 1986 to the Republic of Vietnam, in 1989 to the United Kingdom, in 1999 to France, in 2000 to the University of Hadramoutin, Yemen, 2001. To France, in 2003 to the United Kingdom, in 2004 to France (participant in defending a doctoral thesis) and finally to Amman in 2011. During the period 2015-2020, Dr. Al-Tamer taught and supervised two doctoral students at the University of Zakho - Kurdistan Region. During the course of his work, Prof. Yasar Al-Tamer published thirty scientific papers in local, regional and international scientific journals, which gave him a scientific rating in the Hersch Laboratories of 9 in the year 2022.

Abstract :

Concentrations of creatinine, uric acid and urea were measured in the blood and urine of female patients at the final stage of renal disease and on a regular lifelong programme of haemodialysis. The samples were collected in winter-time and in summertime. The same analytes were also measured in sweat fluid at the time of collecting summer samples. The results showed insignificant physiological seasonal changes for creatinine and uric acid and that the concentration of these compounds in the sweat fluid was low. Urea concentration in the sweat fluid was found to be present at a much higher concentration than the serum level (reaching in some cases 50 times the serum level). The possibility of using thermal induction as an alternative to haemodialysis is suggested. The presence of urea in the sweat fluid at such a high level suggests a selective transport mechanism across the eccrine sweat gland to clear the blood of a high urea level.

Abstract :

Objective:
To investigate the lipid content and fatty acid (FA) composition, especially n 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n 3 LCPUFAs) of mature breast-milk of Iraqi mothers and their relation to the socioeconomic status of the mothers.
Design:
A collection of mature breast-milk of mothers with three different socioeconomic status (lactation period 5±1 month).
Setting:
Mosul province (in the north of Iraq).
Subjects:
Mature breast-milk samples were obtained from a group of 20-to 35-year-old mothers with different socioeconomic status: high urban (HU, n= 25), low urban (LU, n= 15) and typical suburban (SU, n= 25).
Procedure:
Mature-milk samples were collected from each lactating mother. The lipid components of each sample, namely triglycerides (TGs), cholesterol (C) and phospholipids (PLs) were determined enzymatically. After their separation and esterification, FAs were determined as FA methyl esters by capillary gas chromatography.

Abstract :

Total and specific alcohol dehydrogenase activity has been compared in homogenates of 19 different types of human tissues from different sources. ADH activities were detected in tissues which have not been tested yet, e.g., thyroid gland, adrenal gland, fat tissue, skin tissue, peritoneal membrane, breast tissue, duodenum, and gall bladder. Healthy and pathological human tissue differ in their ADH activity. The percentage of the total activity has been estimated in each tested organ in relation to the total activity of the whole body.

Abstract :

Objective: To determine the lipid components of colostrum and the fatty-acid (FA) composition of the colostrum and serum of Iraqi mothers, whether their delivery be fullterm (FT) or preterm (PT).

Design: A collection of colostrum and serum samples of FT and PT delivering Iraqi mothers.

Setting: Mosul province (in the north of Iraq).

Subjects: Colostrum and blood samples were obtained from FT and PT delivering mothers; their gestation periods were 39.2 and 32.7 weeks, respectively (age 20–40 y).

Procedures: Colostrum and serum samples were collected from each lactating mother. The nursing period was 3–5 days. The lipid components of colostrum, namely triglycerides (TGs) and cholesterol (C), were determined enzymatically and the phospholipids (PLs) were determined by using a colorimetric method based on the formation of a phosphomolybdate complex. The FA composition of colostrum and serum was determined by capillary gas chromatography.
