Abstract

Lung cancer is becoming the major cause of cancer-related deaths in human worldwide and Saudi Arabia is not an exception. Therein the identification of potentially malignant lung nodules is essential for the diagnosis and clinical management of lung cancer. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, however, interpretation of Computed Tomography (CT) images is challenging for radiologists due to the large number of cases. It is therefore extremely important task to develop computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems that can aid and enhance the radiologist to potentially reduce false positive (FP) findings. Even though numerous methodologies are proposed for CAD system in the literatures, the one proposed in this work will definitely stand out in improving the sensitivity and specificity for the detection of small nodules particularly in low dose CT images. This work attempts to employ the powerful tool, radiomics quantitative imaging features within curvelet domain to detect and characterize lung nodules with improved sensitivity and specificity. Subsequently, support vector machine (SVM) is used to learn the 2D stochastic and 3D anatomic features of curvelet coefficients and classifies suspected regions either as malignant or benign based on geometric, texture and intensity. A preliminary analysis of the proposed methodology is presented and compared against the metrics, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy on publicly available LIDC database to serve as a benchmark for future research efforts.

Abstract

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the most common knee injury that might occur during exercise. An ACL causes a balance disorder that can be considered as a risk factor for recurring injury. Identification of balance disturbances in subjects with ACL injury should be conducted to minimize the risk of re-injury. Objectives: this study aims to determine the validity of star excursion balance test with biodex balance system SD as a gold standard Method: This study is a diagnostic test with cross-sectional study approach. The number of research sample was 20 respondents selected as control group, five people with ACL injury as the case group. All subjects were examined with the biodex balance system SD (Overall Stability Index) and star excursion balance test (% MAXD). Results: The result of the correlation analysis between the overall stability index and %MAXD was not significant with r = -0.316; p = 0.175. Hence, the cut-off point could not be determined due to the insignificant correlation, thus the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the star excursion balance test could not be determined. Conclusion: Star excursion balance test was invalid as a dynamic balance test if the Biodex Balance Test SD was used as a gold standard.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a transitional phase that causes biological, cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral changes. One of the issues of concern is aggressive behavior in adolescents. Parenting styles and peer attachment are one of the factors that have an influence on potential aggressive behavior in adolescent boys. Objectives To analyze the relationship between parenting styles and peer attachment to the potential aggressive behavior of adolescent boys. Method: The subjects were junior high school male students who are cared for by both biological parents and can follow all of the research procedures. The research design was cross-sectional with total sampling technique. Subjects performed anamnesis related data self, parent demographic data, and peers. (PAQ), (IPPA) (BPAQ). The analyzes used were Pearson, Spearman, and Anova. Results: The majority of parenting styles was permissive (34.06%; 48.00%). Parenting styles and peer attachments did not have a significant relationship with potential aggressive behavior (p = 0.798; p = 0.071; p = 0.695). There was a negative correlation of peer attachment with alienation dimension (p = 0.001). Other significant dimensions with potential dimensions of aggressive behavior were trust (p = 0.018; 0.022) and communication (p = 0.029; p = 0.000). Conclusion: Parenting styles and peer attachments did not have a meaningful relationship with potential aggressive behavior in adolescent boys. However, there were some significant correlations between the dimensions of parenting and peer attachment with potential dimensions of aggressive behavior.

These specimens were collected from patients attending to Al-Furat Al-Awsat burn center during the studied period . All specimens were cultured on the MacConkey agar plates and incubated at 37°C under aerobic condition for 18 - 24 hour. In 60 patients, 36 (60%) were female and 24 (40%) were male. Several morphological, physiological and biochemical tests were made to identify bacterial isolates. Results showed that K.pneumoniae constitute 15 isolates (25%) of these isolates. A collection of 15 K. pneumoniae isolates diagnosed by the morphological ,cultural and biochemical characters, the identification was confirmed by molecular method for the presence of magA . The results showed that only 10 (66.6%) isolates was carrying magA which are diagnosed as K.pneumoniae. The results of antibiotic sensitivity screening test revealed that the isolates of K. pneumoniae exhibited highly sensitivity to Azithromycin ,moderate sensitivity for Gentamicin and Imipenem while the findings showed absolute resistant to Erythromycin , highly resistant to Ciprofloxacine , Trimthoprime. According to this result it can considered that Azithromycin as best treatment against K. pneumoniae.

Abstract

The effect of Bacterially Reduced Graphene Oxide (BRGO) as inhibitory agent alone and in combination with antibiotics against some multidrug resistant (MDR) uropathogenic bacterial isolates as well as the antibiofilm activity was investigated. BRGO nanosheets were synthesized biologically by Escherichia coli strain E-NO.7 (accession no. MK685205). Different concentrations 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 10 mg/ml of BRGO nanosheets showed potent inhibitory effects of all concentrations against tested MDR uropathogenic Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates. Results showed that the growth inhibition zones increased with increasing in BRGO concentration. The combinations of BRGO (0.5 mg/ml) and different broad spectrum antibiotics exhibited enhanced antibacterial activity against all the studied isolates in comparison with the effects of antibiotics alone. It has been observed that BRGO effectively restricted biofilm formation, and the antibiofilm effect was dose- dependent, since the biofilm inhibition gradually increased with increasing in BRGO concentration.

Abstract

Introduction: Sexual violence is one of the morbidities and mortality factors in women. Sexual violence of women causes physical and physiological sequences that make them vulnerable to health problems. Material and method: It was normative legal research with a literature study and document study as a method to collect the research data. Findings: Marital sexual abuse or the highest personal relation was incest with 1,071 cases followed by raping with 818 cases, and molestation with 321 cases. Meanwhile, marital rape reached 195 cases. The forms of sexual violence consist of sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, coercion of contraceptive use, compulsion in abortion, rape, marital compulsion, prostitution, sexual bondage, and sexual torture. The protection against victims of sexual violence was considered to be not optimal due to a lack of public understanding of the causes and effects of sexual violence. Conclusion: So far, the legal protection against women in sexual violence cases have not been optimally implemented. The minimum legal protection triggered impunity, reoccurrence, and even the victims’ frustration to accept justice and recovery.

Abstract

Background: Brachial plexus injury is most commonly caused by motorcycle accidents and leads to a deficit of motor strength, pain and disability of the upper limb. The main purpose of reconstructive action of brachial plexus injury is to restore the function of the shoulder and elbow. Aim: This study aimed to compare the clinical function of post-operative nerve grafting with nerve transfer in patients with brachial plexus injury. Methods: This study enrolled a sample of patients who had surgery and evaluated the range of active movement of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion; motor strength using the scale of the British Medical Research Council (BMRC); neuropathic pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS); and upper extremity disability using the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick DASH) questionnaire. Results: 30 patients were divided into groups of nerve grafting and nerve transfer with each group consisting of 15 patients. 13 patients (87%) of each group had motor strength of functional shoulder abduction (>M3) (p = 0.874). 13 patients (87%) had better functional elbow flexion motor strength (>M3) in the nerve transfer group than 11 patients (73%) of the nerve grafting group (p = 0.036). Conclusion: The postoperative nerve transfered clinical function showed a better elbow flexion function with a lower severity of upper limb disability.

Abstract

Background: Aloe vera was used to enhance defense mechanisms, and it has a variety of components that affected on periodontal healing and other oral condition .It was used also around dental implants to control inflammation from bacteria contamination. Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is of particular interest because of its ability to induce neovascularization (angiogenesis), VEGF also acts to recruit and activate osteoclasts as well as stimulate osteoblast chemotaxis, differentiation, and matrix mineralization. Aim of study: The objective of this research was to illustrate the biological actions of topical application of aloe vera and growth factor VEGF on implant tissue contact surface which is involved in osseointegration . Materials and Method: Commercially pure Titanium(cpTi) implants with aloe vera /and VEGF ,were placed in the tibia of (24) New Zealand white rabbits, Mechanical test (torque removal test) was performed as an indicator for the presence of osseointegration and bone implant contact (BIC)measurement as a test for the property of bone-implant interface. Histological investigation was performed on all the implants of both control and experimental groups at (1,2, and 6weeks) healing intervals. Results: Findings illustrated that removal torque mean and BIC values in experimental implant showed high value in comparison to control. Histological results show an early bone deposition and early maturation in combination group . Conclusions: Bone formation &maturation was accelerated by adding biological materials and using a combination of Aloe Vera and VEGF is a powerful tool for enhancement of osseointegration.
