Background SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 has been associated with an increased rate of transmission and disease severity among subjects testing positive in the community.Its impact on hospitalised patients is less well documented.Methods We collected viral sequences and clinical data of patients admitted with SARS-CoV-2 and hospital-onset COVID-19 inf
Nasal bone length in Saudi rhinoplasty: a clinical-radiological study
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hump reduction in the presence of short nasal bones can result in significant esthetic and/or functional problems in patients seeking rhinoplasty in the Middle East.The aims of this study were to determine the mean length of nasal bones, amount of nasal dorsum it forms in relation to the whole nose, and incidence of short
Effect of two periods of irrigation on some Traits of inbred lines and Hybrids of Maize
A field experiment was conducted in Coll.of Agriculture-Abu-Graib during two autumn seasons 2011 and 2012.This was to study some of growth criteria, genetic-morphological yield components for hybrids and inbred lines of maize, and to determine the relationship between yield and system capacity constant ( SCC) under two periods of irrigation (5 and
DRUGAS: implantable telemetric system for measuring the portal venous pressure: assembly aspects
Developing an implantable, telemetric pressure measuring system for venous applications makes a high degree of miniaturization necessary.Thus the influence on the measurement environment is minimized and the risk of thrombosis at small flow blood velocities is decreased.But these systems are limited in terms of accuracy and resolution.The asked sys
